Blue Star

"All retreat!" Captain Ossid said sharply, took down the heavy crossbow behind his back and shot an arrow at the closed fruit.

The tip of the arrow feather is inlaid with black inhibitory crystal ore, and it pierces through the fruit full of sticky nectar with a puff, and there is a lot of red blood on the tip of the arrow.

The stalks of the spiky flower vines were stimulated by the crystal minerals, curling up in pain like a monster hit by an arrow.The surface of the plump fruit shrank, weakly vomiting out the soldier who ate it.

The cloth and skin of the soldier's clothes were corroded to varying degrees, especially the arm that was first entangled in vines, leaving almost nothing but skin and bones.

The soldier looked blankly at the people who were a few meters away from him, his throat was so choked that he couldn't make a sound, and he fell limply to the ground without any signs of life after taking two steps.

This is the first time that plant variation has occurred, and it has never been encountered in any previous archaeological operations.

Gu Li looked at the dead soldier's body with an ugly expression. The consequences of the crystal mine stopping working several times were far more serious than he predicted.

Captain Ossid fired more than a dozen arrow feathers in succession, smashing several nearby mutated plants to pieces.

It is normal to have casualties on the periphery, and almost every time you come out and go back, you will lose troops.But even so, the loss of a companion still pained him.

The living plants seemed to be revenge after being stimulated, and they opened their "sharp mouths" to spit out scarlet vines, and the barbed vines scratched the thick cloth and leather gloves.After piercing into the soldier's skin, it quickly exudes a weak sticky nectar, and then swallows the soldier holding the weapon whole.

The magnetic field on Gu Li's rotating ring echoed with the surrounding crystal mines, surrounding the entire army as fast as possible.

He couldn't suck all the water out like he did with the vines in Iris' hands, because then, other people surrounded by the magnetic field would also become hypoxic and dehydrated.

Oxide shot and killed a spiky vine, and slowly approached Gu Li and said to everyone: "Retreat! The whole team is close to the wizard!"

The first team protects the second team, and the second team protects the third team with the weakest combat effectiveness in the middle.The team in charge of peripheral protection formed a circle with Gu Li at the center, stood on top of a pile of dead vines that had been shot, and shot and killed the surrounding mutated plants with all their strength.

In the range where the magnetic field is strongly operating, the mobility of the plants obviously begins to decline, and the crystal ore that was originally covered by the plants is gradually exposed.The pointed flower vines curled up their stems painfully, and even the leaves were crumpled and shrunk into a ball.

Some fruits that had swallowed creatures before were spit out food residues due to the influence of the magnetic field, there were bees and deformed insects with multiple mouthparts, and there were also some reptiles with only skeletons left.

Iris stood in front of Gu Li, his eyes fiercely stepped on the vines that were climbing towards Gu Li.The plant shattered, splashing red nectar and biological impurities all over the ground.

However, Gu Li does not allow him to mutate any characteristics of the main body, and can only deal with these things in the most primitive way.

The messy bushes centered on the soldiers were gradually cleared out of the original appearance of the base, the ground paved with stone bricks, the fence surrounded by rusty iron wires, and the crystals inlaid every half a meter on the iron wires.

Most of the fence was cut off by the wildly growing plants, and some crystal ore even rolled down into the bushes in the distance because there was no support.

Gu Li's magnetic field of water molecules formed a semicircle above everyone, like a translucent cover connecting the place with crystal ore to protect everyone in it.

And within 50 meters outside the water molecules, the crazy plants and organisms were quickly sucked away by the water and died, but not all of them.

The location where they are now is the most valuable area in the sixth town.There are bookstores, herbariums, research institutes, and an outpost that originally belonged to the army.But now they are all dilapidated ruins, and it is even impossible to tell the exact location of these buildings, which is in a state of chaos.Xiao Ying steamed

Many of the soldiers surrounded in the middle were going out of the city for the first time. They thought they would encounter danger, but they didn't expect the danger to come so quickly.

The ground full of nectar and plant debris is full of wreckage, and there are many human companions whose original appearance has been corroded by the nectar.The blood and water were mixed with corrosive viscous liquid, which was shocking and unbearable to look at directly.

Some soldiers with relatively inexperienced training couldn't stand the scene and threw up, feeling uncomfortable both mentally and physically.

Captain Osid was the first to regain his composure, and after confirming that there was no danger within the range of Gu Li's magnetic field, he immediately ordered: "The first team checks, the second team repairs the fence, and the third team cleans the scene."

He set his sights on those companions who had been scratched by plants and hadn't mutated due to infection, and without hesitation raised the heavy crossbow with one hand, fitted the arrow feathers with suppressing crystal mines, and hit the head with one arrow.

If the person who was bitten was in the city, he either entered the observation room or was released in the wild.But now it is on the periphery of the archaeological team's trip, so the only result is death.

Gu Li looked away helplessly. The team of 60 people died at least 15 people before the operation started. This is the most vigilant army in Keerqi.It is hard to imagine how many people will be killed or injured once the mutation breaks out in the city.

As the sky darkened, a bonfire was built with withered plants in the center of the base, and all the dead soldiers' bodies were burned.

Osid took off the code tags around the necks of the dead soldiers, wiped them with his sleeves, and carefully put them in his pockets.

The combat effectiveness of the archaeological team is not as good as that of the previous generation. The biggest reason is that the speed of training cannot keep up with the death rate.He looked at the many young people in the team. If the death rate this time was the same as the previous few times, then the recruiting age might have to be lowered from 20 to 17, and even peripheral archaeology would be cancelled.

Depressed, Remy walked to the camp where Gu Li and Iris were resting, and handed two of the distributed bread to Gu Li.

"I didn't expect that these plants would cover the base of the mosaic crystal mine. When we were training, we didn't hear that plants would also mutate. If it was caused by the crystal mine stopping working, then in the town where we live, it is Didn’t some unknown change also take place?”

Gu Li took the bread but didn't have the appetite to eat it. His talent was not worth mentioning in front of a real battle.The speed, reflexes and handling of results are terrible, even though he has been training since he was 15 years old.

A lighting crystal mine stood in front of them. From time to time in the dark jungle in the distance, there were wild beasts roaring, and unknown plants climbing up buildings.

Iris seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes were fixed on the slightly green light spot in the jungle.Maybe it's the monster's eyes, or maybe it's the night light emitted by the mutated plants.Those things seemed to have sensed Iris, just like a weak creature encountered a natural enemy, and quickly fled in a panic.

Remy took his share of bread and sat down next to Gu Li, looked at the lighting crystal mine in front of him and said, "My girlfriend lives in the third town, and she said that she will live with me after my archaeology is over. The patriarch has always They all advocate that we can have more offspring, but in fact I am quite afraid that children will be born, because no one can guarantee that they will live to old age and die, or even live to adulthood.

He ate the bread in his hand with a wry smile, "But I still want to live with her and have a baby, maybe this is the hope I try to keep myself alive."

Gu Li seemed to be moved. In order to ensure that a child is born every year in the town, most people would choose to reproduce without emotion.In such a world, it must be extremely precious to find someone who loves each other.

When Remy left, he stuffed another piece of bread into Iris' hand and asked, "Do you feel the same way about me?"

Iris probably didn't understand. He took a bite of the bread with a little disgust and said, "Gu Li, milk."

Gu Li didn't want to spoil him, milk is hard to drink in the town, and he only brought a bottle with him when he came out.

He took out a bottle of water with sea salt from Iris's backpack beside him and said, "I can only drink this today."

Iris didn't accept the water obediently, and his expression seemed to be asking him for credit.As far as today's performance is concerned, Iris has indeed helped him a lot, and his behavior is also working hard to learn from humans.

Gu Li was a little helpless, and praised: "I did a good job today, and... thank you for helping me block those mutated plants."

Some compliments did not satisfy Iris. Seeing that Gu Li did not respond, he even licked his slightly dry lips.

When Remy was talking, he saw how the two of them got along in love through Remy's memory.Put your arms around each other's waist, approach when the other half pretends to resist, and then kiss, just like what he and Gu Li did below deck.

Gu Li immediately understood the meaning of this fish. He really didn't know whether to call the mermaid smart or cunning, but he never said that a kiss can represent a reward.

Iris, who had waited for a long time without any movement, was a little impatient. Like Remy in his memory, he stretched his arms around Gu Li's waist as if he wanted to use force.

Gu Li hurriedly checked the rest of the soldiers around him, raised his hand against Iris' shoulder, and said softly, "Wait a minute."

He covered the lighting crystal mine in front of him with the military uniform jacket he took off, and the vicinity of the tent without the light source suddenly became dark.

Before Gu Li had time to say a few more words of protest, Iris' lips covered his lips.Mermaids who can't kiss don't have much action other than simple touching.

Gu Li pursed his lips tightly, and then pushed Iris who had taken advantage of it, "I didn't say thank you for using this method."

The spouse got angry and had a completely different reaction than Remy's spouse remembered.Iris sat back in his original position and continued to eat the bread in his hand. After chewing a few times, he carefully looked at the obviously angry Gu Li.

He thought about what he had learned from Remy, and said, "Gu Li, child."

After finishing speaking, he cast his eyes on Gu Li's stomach very bluntly.

"..."

Gu Li's face was blue, did this fish know that he was a man?He got into the tent angrily, and after a while of silence, he decided to come out and correct him: "Men and men cannot conceive children, only men and women can."

Iris half-understood, thinking of what Remy said to his spouse, he replied seriously: "Sleeping together, we will have children."
