Even hybrid monsters have their day

Then, a huge flower appeared before them, its vibrant petals as red as blood, blooming quietly amidst a cluster of green leaves. It was exquisitely beautiful, more magnificent than a rose, more luxurious than a peony.

"Wow, this is..."

"This is also a new variety that our company has just developed, called Mosas grass." Qiu Pi couldn't help but smile when she saw the Mosas grass, her amazed expression making him smile.

"Ah, this is grass?" Geng Miaowan was extremely surprised.

"Yes, it is grass, but it is a flowering grass. What you see as red are actually its leaves, and the small pink particles in the middle are its flowers."

"Really?" Geng Miaowan said, walking forward curiously until she came to the 'Mosuo' grass and examined it carefully.

The tiny yellow granules, about the size of a soybean, appeared extremely small amidst the enormous, flower-like leaves. Each flower had a small, transparent, round hole in the center, and something seemed to be rotating inside.

Qiu Pi continued, "During its growth, the Moss grass can eliminate some harmful substances in the soil. If it can be cultivated on a large scale, it will be very beneficial for purifying the land. Moreover, it can also process some biological waste. So now you know why we have completely sealed off this forest, because every plant and even every piece of soil here may contain the research results of our company."

Geng Miaowan's attention was completely drawn to those small, transparent holes. She reached out and touched one, and the black dot inside spun around several times. "Haha, this is really fun."

"careful!"

"what!"

Geng Miaowan cried out in surprise and withdrew her hand. A small cut, the size of a grain of rice, appeared on her fingertip, oozing blood. Suddenly, the dense patch of moss flowers, which had been quiet, began to writhe wildly, and black substances protruded from the transparent pores, looking like rows of teeth.

Qiu Pi quickly pulled her hand away from the succulent plant. "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, succulents are aggressive. That's the main reason we haven't dared to cultivate them in large quantities."

"It's nothing." Geng Miaowan shook her head. She looked at the pink flowers again; they were truly amazing.

“Let’s keep going then,” Qiu Pi said, pointing to the depths of the forest. “Our company’s latest research project is in there. We’ll have someone show it to you later.”

Geng Miaowan smiled slightly and took a step in that direction.

The two continued walking and talking as they had arrived, but this time, Geng Miaowan's steps grew slower and slower, each step appearing increasingly difficult. She took Qiu Pi's arm for support and said, somewhat puzzled, "I feel like I can't walk anymore..."

Qiu Pi turned to look at her, a gentle smile playing on his lips, his emotionless eyes hidden behind his glasses. He gently patted her shoulder and said softly, "Are you tired? If you are, take a rest."

Geng Miaowan nodded, then tilted her head to his shoulder and lost consciousness.

Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan split up to search for clues in the forest. Several hours later, they met up in the middle of the forest. After searching the entire area, they both felt that this place was the most suspicious, occasionally sensing some kind of force rising from underground. But when they tried to sense it more closely, they found nothing.

As they were searching, they suddenly heard a noise in the distance. The man and the dog quickly found a place to hide. Just as they were hiding, they saw a figure swiftly rushing towards them, carrying someone in its arms.

"Ah, isn't that..." Xu Ruwen exclaimed in a low voice. Although he hadn't seen the person's face, he remembered that Geng Miaowan had left home this morning wearing the same outfit.

"Wan'er... Wan'er..."

“Girl…girl…”

They tried calling out to Geng Miaowan in their minds, but received no response. Xu Ruwen wanted to rush out, but Huangfu Aohan grabbed his clothes and shook his head at him.

"Let's see what he's up to first," Huangfu Aohan whispered, and Xu Ruwen then crouched back down, looking intently at Qiu Pi.

Qiu Pi stopped beside a large tree, which looked no different from the others; trees like this were common in the forest. But then, something strange happened.

Qiu Pi's hand rested on the tree trunk for about five seconds, and miraculously, a small hole opened in the trunk, from which something resembling a control panel emerged. Then, his fingers quickly pressed a few times on it, and the ground beneath his feet silently cracked open, revealing a long staircase leading underground.

He picked up Geng Miaowan again and slowly walked down to the ground.

"What should we do? Where is he taking Wan'er?" Seeing Qiu Pi carrying Geng Miaowan further and further down the road, Xu Ruwen became anxious, feeling that he was taking her to a bad place.

"Can you enter the girl's sea of ​​consciousness?" Huangfu Aohan asked.

"Let me try," Xu Ruwen tried and was surprised to find that he could actually enter Geng Miaowan's sea of ​​consciousness. He didn't know whether to say that she was lucky or that they were lucky, "She actually removed the protective barrier of her sea of ​​consciousness before she fainted."

He exchanged a glance with Huangfu Aohan, then said, "Let's go!"

As the door on the ground closed, the figures of the man and the dog disappeared into the bushes.

Qiu Pi carried Geng Miaowan all the way to the deepest part of the underground. Along the way, they encountered an elderly man in his forties or fifties, who asked, "How is that person?"

The old man's name is Li Chaoxing, and he is the head of this laboratory. "Just now, he suddenly quieted down, but we still couldn't get any closer to him."

"Is everything ready?" Qiu Pi asked without stopping, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

“Yes,” the old man said, “they are all in Laboratory 1.”

“We must be quick. She only got a small bite on her finger from the sage grass, and she could wake up at any moment. Besides…” Qiu Pi paused, looked down at Geng Miaowan, who had her eyes closed. She looked as peaceful and serene as if she were asleep. A tenderness, which he himself didn’t even notice, appeared in his eyes. “We can’t hurt her in the slightest.” (To be continued.)
