Looking for green

Chapter 15 Escape

"This is a plant..." Sabianti said thoughtfully as he rubbed his messy hair that had never been neatly trimmed.

"Is it such a fragile creature?" Lauren tapped the plant cabin with her hand, looked at the trembling plant branches and leaves inside, and asked with some doubts.

"It's the toughest thing." Wu Xu looked at the booty in his hands with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "It can still survive in such an environment—even though its life is endowed by the earth— But it’s of no use for the earth to cherish and protect it if it’s not tough enough on its own.”

"That's it?" Lauren frowned and tapped again, looking at the trembling plants as if they were trembling in fear, she couldn't believe it.

"Have you heard a word?" Wu Xu asked with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" Lauren raised her head inexplicably, and even Sabienti, who had been in deep thought, raised her head and cast her gaze on Wu Xu.

"Wild fires are endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates." Wu Xu said with a smile, looking at the two people who were a little confused, he said helplessly, "This is an ancient Chinese poem, which says that even if it is a prairie fire, as long as the grass There is still a little bit of it that has not been burned, and the next spring will be green again. Although this plant is not a grass, it is a plant just like a grass.”

"So powerful?" Lauren stared wide-eyed at the still trembling plants in the plant cabin, with a little more admiration in his eyes.

"But I'm thinking about a question." Sabianti rubbed his chin and said, "Actually, it's not that difficult to obtain plants, we just have too few people. If it's a complete team, some people can definitely divert the mutation The attention of the beast, while the other part of the people took the plants into the bag like a bag, and then they can triumphantly. But why didn't any group of people bring back the plants before us?"

Wu Xu and Lauren were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then turned their questioning eyes to Sabienti, who seemed to be trying to understand something, and signaled him to stop playing tricks.

"Obviously, there are only two possibilities." Sabianti looked around and said, "Let's talk as we walk."

Lauren trotted a few steps to keep up with Sabianti who started walking towards the base before he could react, and asked impatiently, "Tell me what's going on!"

Sabienti walked briskly, while smiling, he answered the anxious Lauren and Wu Xu who just caught up with doubts: "The first possibility is that plants have some ability to confuse people, or the earth It makes our hearts a little bit shaky after we get the plants."

"What does it mean to confuse people? What does it mean to be unstable?" Lauren scratched her face impatiently.

"That is to say..." Sabienti didn't care about Lauren's question, but continued in his own way, "After we get the plants, we will start to dream about some dreamy things that are difficult to achieve .”

"For example?" Wu Xu asked with an ugly face.

"How about being a hero of all mankind and getting your name recorded in the annals of history?" Sabienti narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

Wu Xu and Lauren Qiqi asked suspiciously: "But the plants will definitely be as you said?"

"But is it more honorable for the entire Green Seeking Team to be a hero? Or is it more honorable for him to be a hero alone?" Sabienti dropped a shocking bomb with a smile.

"You mean..." Wu Xu said with a serious face, "The people who got the plants began to kill each other in order to become the only hero?"

"Not impossible," Sabianti replied.

"But what if there are only companions like us who are as affectionate as the sea?" Lauren asked hurriedly.

"That's right." For the first time, Wu Xu didn't care about Lauren's random use of idioms, but asked closely.

"Then it's the second possibility." Sabienti's face, which had been smiling all the time, turned ugly, "After the plants are picked, they are to mutated beasts just like scorpions are to cats. On the whole earth— —Even if only the mutant beasts from the entire continent pounced on them, no one would be able to survive."

"Can't run if you can't beat it?" Lauren asked, comparing hands, "It's just like the jet we use!"

"Idiot!" Sabianti scolded mercilessly, "The jets we use require too much physical fitness, if the physical fitness has not reached our level, what will we experience once we use the jets?" It’s called dismemberment, do you understand? Even if the physical fitness is as high as ours... After using the injector once, it needs to be recharged for a day! What should I do in this day?”

Wu Xu let out a long sigh: "Then we can only pray to God."

"Speaking of..." Lauren's face suddenly became stiff, "Do you feel it?"

"What?" Wu Xu and Sabianti turned their heads to look at Lauren suspiciously, and then suddenly felt something.

"The earth is shaking!" The three suddenly shouted in unison, and then frantically ran towards the base, trying to get rid of the behemoth chasing from behind.

Lauren, who had the best physical fitness, glanced back while running, and then her face turned blue instantly. She turned her head to Wu Xu and Sabianti, who looked at her with a questioning expression, and said in a stiff tone: "It's not a big thing. ——It's a herd!"

Wu Xu and Sabine gasped, then grabbed Lauren and jumped off the small raised sand dune.Just as Lauren was screaming, Wu Xu and Sabienti looked at each other and pressed the button on their shoulders together. Two huge hang gliders unfolded from behind the two of them, leading the three of them to glide quickly towards the distance. go.

"Why didn't I know you guys still have this kind of equipment!" Lauren shouted excitedly at the two.

"Actually..." Wu Xu and Sabienti stroked their foreheads in pain at the same time, "You have it too."

Lauren looked at Wu Xu to the left in surprise, and then to Sabienti to the right, but was speechless.

"I knew that if you don't listen to the equipment instructor, you will have an accident sooner or later." Sabienti said with a bit of resentment.

"Hey hey." Lauren smirked, then straightened her hair that was a little messy due to the wind, "Isn't it because of the two of you here?"

Wu Xu turned his head to look at Sabienti, who was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

"But we are really lucky." Wu Xu was silent for a moment, but decided to change the subject and stop talking about the things that made the three of them unhappy.

"How to say?" Sabienti and Lauren both turned their heads to look at Wu Xu and asked.

"Because we are very close to the base!" Wu Xu's tone was filled with joy, "Here, look!" He raised his left hand, motioning them to look at the display screen on his left arm.Sabianti inadvertently caught a glimpse of the string of jade beads on Wu Xu's left wrist, and couldn't help but blushed, then quickly turned his eyes away pretending to be calm, and looked at the display screen.

"Look." Wu Xu didn't notice Sabienti's little shyness, and said, "The red one is us, and the green one is the base. You see, we and the base are less than [-] kilometers away."

"Really!" Lauren and Sabianti stared at the screen with bright eyes, and were too excited to speak.

"So we are very likely to go back successfully!" Wu Xu said happily with the corners of his lips curled up.

"No." Sabienti shook his head, looked at the two who turned to look at him and said firmly, "We will definitely be able to go back."

Wu Xu was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth widened. The three of them looked at each other and said firmly in unison: "We will definitely be able to go back!"
