Mai Fan was extremely surprised. It had only been a few minutes, but something happened to their team again?
But Captain Xie and his teammates were even more surprised than Mai Fan.
"What did you say? You discovered a new species? Hahaha! Mai Fan, you really..."
"Hahahaha... It's so funny. It's easy for newbies to make mistakes like this... There's nothing we can do about it. The update of plant maps is always slower than discovery..."
"Also, they are too thick for a novice like you..."
Mai Fan took out a handful of sweet potato seedlings amidst the laughter: "Captain, is this in our map?"
“Hahahaha...burp?”
The burst of laughter stopped suddenly...
“You...where did you find it?”
Mai Fan pointed to the distant dense forest area... "Let's go there and take a look and lead the way..."
At the captain's order, he led everyone deeper into the forest.
Mai Fan’s speed was so fast that their teammates had to work hard not to lose him.
After running for a while, the team members discovered the existence of this cluster of vegetation in a somewhat wet soil.
McFan found that the soil where these new species were growing was completely different from those around it.
That piece of soil is as if it has been genetically mutated, it is dark...it looks very nutritious.
Harmless microorganisms, rationing of different trace elements...
If it weren’t for the fact that there were no signs of stirring around...the captain would have suspected that someone dug this special clod of soil from the laboratory and planted it in this worthless forest.
“We really haven’t met... Mai Fan, your luck is... the best among the people I have ever met.”
“What are you waiting for? Get the tools to collect!”
“Take away all the soil from here…from here to here…all the soil!”
“I think we are about to have a second stroke of luck...”
“Who would think he has too much money?”
The team members were extremely excited. This patrol really exceeded their expectations.
While everyone was working, they looked at Mai Fan from time to time...
But I found that his actions were different from everyone else. He actually dug holes in such precious soil with his hands.
“Mai Fan, what are you doing! You know if someone finds out that you destroyed the specimen... Oh!! Oh oh oh! What is this!”
Mai Fan pulled a bunch of sweet potatoes out of the soil.
The big one is longer than the face, and the small one is about the size of a fist.
“I just wanted to tell you, the specimens I’m talking about are not the soil here, the specimens I’m talking about are these guys.”
With that said, Mai Fan patted the soil off the surface of the sweet potatoes in front of the horrified eyes of his teammates.
Tear off the somewhat reddish skin, revealing the juicy red-but-not-white flesh...
“Don’t…eat…”
Amidst the frightened gasping and stopping sounds, he clicked and took a bite of the root.
“Oh my god! Spit it out, spit it out! You see it is thick, and its juice has a highly toxic milky white color emerging!”
“It’s also incredibly sweet! There is only one possibility for a plant like this in the wild…”
Even the stupidest wood rat dare not speak.
Because sweetness means danger, the more seemingly harmless and silent a plant is, the more unpalatable it is to others.
But it was too late. Not only did this new teammate not follow their advice... but he also chewed the plant to the point of crunching.
“Oh my god, I finally have something that I can put in my mouth.”
To be honest, not many people in the real world eat sweet potatoes... but here...
This crispy and sweet bite is so rare.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, please don’t tell the truth... When I discovered them, I couldn’t help myself and tried one...”
"In my opinion...I can't resist its taste...it's about time before I finish eating this new species..."
"It's been an hour... Look... I'm not poisoned, and I don't have any discomfort."
“So does anyone want to try it...this is really delicious!”
Gulu... everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva...
But no one was tempted by Maifan...
“You have to go back for a checkup immediately... maybe there are dangerous bacteria that have started to invade your body...”
Although after returning to the shelter, if they really find something wrong... there is nothing they can do...
It's better than him infecting everyone with some inexplicable thing...
This kind of thing really happened... Some people only eat a bite of the fruit...
When people found him again three days later, his capsule room had been invaded by a parasite.
As a well-informed veteran patrolman...the most dangerous thing is the thing you know nothing about.
Hence, Mai Fan, a bold newcomer, was treated as a dangerous object and was urgently quarantined together with the new sample.
After they sent Maifan and the samples together...
started to worry about their new teammates.
“To be honest, I quite like this guy...”
"Isn't it? There is something magical about him, and that is luck..."
“Yes, since he came to our team, everyone’s luck has indeed become...excellent.”
Just now, the instruments at the Specimen Testing Center gave the prices for the soil and plant samples they had retrieved.
This is a soil sample that has never been found in the laboratory. The ratio of trace elements and moisture contained in it is very similar to the soil of the world before the catastrophe, which was rich in harmless products.
This discovery made researchers at the institute extremely excited.
They don’t know whether this atavistic phenomenon is a good thing or a bad thing... but as long as there is a soil sample of this kind...
They can study its approximate proportions and restore a large piece of similar land...
Let's transplant the plants that most resemble ancient plants into this soil, try to restore the air environment at that time... and work hard to cultivate these plants...
Because they really want to know how delicious the ancient plants that did not evolve themselves or evolved very slowly would have been.
The taste recorded in those ancient materials...
It’s really tempting.
As for Mai Fan on the other side, he has been released by the inspection and quarantine agency.
He has undergone thorough testing, and no parasites or deadly germs have been found in his hair or blood.
As for the examination of the residue in his stomach, it was even more healthy.
After nutritional analysis by medical institutions...
Although that thing cannot meet the nutritional supply of modern people...
