When she saw him slowly opening his mouth, Yu Baoyin was frightened and covered his mouth with her hands.
Feng Ran felt the warm hand on his lips.
He looked at Yu Baoyin beside him pleading him with her eyes not to make noise.
Feng Ran only rembered the situation they were in.
He closed his eyes and didn't look at the skulls anymore.
A chilly gust of wind blew by dispersing the scent molecules and making them shuddered.
The three wolves, after failing to pick up the foreign sll again gave up and walked back to their previous spot.
Everyone was relieved at avoiding an early fight.
Nanzhi fired two shots and these wolves scrunched their noses before running out.
When she passed by Yu Baoyin and Feng Ran, she raised her thumbs, giving them a little encouragent.
Everyone crawled and squeezed under the wooden bridge.
Nanzhi took out a selfie stick and cara.
While everyone was looking at the other phone, Nanzhi controlled the cara to float inside.
Lin Weihao saw it and kept quiet.
Images of the Plant Conservatory appeared on the phone's screen.
The Plant Conservatory was ho to many endangered, endemic, and rare species of plants.
But now it's full of broken aluminum and steel frawork, damaged screen panels, torn poly coverings, and glass shards.
Nanzhi controlled the cara to zoom in making everyone noticed sothing in the center of the room.
Although it was snowing inside, everyone could still see a two ter plum blossom tree.
The colors of the flowers of the plum blossom tree are supposed to vary from white to dark pink and can either be purple or red but this one had transparent crystals akin to large diamonds.
Its fruits were also made of crystals.
While its trunk, roots and branches are in bloody red.
They can tell it was plum blossom tree because of the signage dangling on its branch.
"I don't rember there is variety of plum blossom tree looking like that."
"I visited this conservatory three months ago and I was certain there were only pink and white plum blossom trees planted here."
"That's right. Even the brochures only showed white and pink plum blossom trees. Could it be they added this as so sort of art exhibition to attract more visitors."
The won said.
It's not an art or sothing made of plastic.
Nanzhi saw the yellow arrow hovering above the tree and knew it was the resource point she was looking for.
I sll the EXP coming.
Hold on. Let's not be distracted.
She reluctantly tears her eyes away from the Plum Blossom EXP tree and tried to control the cara to go closer until she was able to find what she was looking for.
It was a semicircular vault door to the underground seed vault less than one hundred ters south of the Plum Blossom Tree.
Everyone's attention was on the phone and didn't notice the magical scene.
However, to get to the vault, they need to lure the remaining three wolves away.
This was the job of Bingwen.
Bingwen controlled a small toy car with two blood bags strapped on its back and drove it towards the frozen lake.
"Brother Lin, the car is so small, will sister-in-law hit it." Not to ntion it was snowing and there's mist.
There were only two small lights serving as an indicator of its spot.
But even he as the operator couldn't see it anymore.
Lin Weihao only said to Bingwen, "Trust in your sister-in-law."
Nanzhi gripped the sniper rifle and when the car reached a considerable distance of 800 ters, Nanzhi pulled a trigger.
Bingwen who was in doubt a few seconds ago was startled when the three wolves rushed out from the conservatory.
She hit it!
Bingwen swallowed his shock and hid his breath as the wolves passed by.
When the wolves finally left, they quickly run to the conservatory.
Halfway, Nanzhi and Lin Weihao stopped in their steps after spotting familiar faces.

After Xuan Yi told Wang Chul about the plum blossom tree outside that can hide their scents, Wang Chul decided to check it out.
"Young man, where are you going? There are wolves outside. If you go out, you will be in danger." Xuan Le who was carrying a tray of freshly grilled mushroom dissuaded Wang Chul when he saw the soldier heading to the tunnels.
Xuan Yi looked at Wang Chul like he was looking at a fool.
He turned his attention on the small piece of rock inside the petri dish and began writing.
Wang Chul said to Xuan Le, "Don't worry Sir. I'm just going to check the situation outside." He raised his gun and walked out of the tunnel.
The other soldiers also followed his lead.
Hearing the steps, Xuan Yi frowned. He couldn't concentrate on writing his journal anymore.
After mulling, he stood up and joined those death wishing fools.
His fathe, Xuan Le saw him. "Little Yi, where are you going?"
"Where else? It's to stop a bunch of n from doing sothing foolish." He said in distaste.
Xuan Le furrowed his brows upon hearing what he said and followed behind his son.
When the two reached the end of the tunnel, they saw Wang Chul had already opened a small gap of the vault door.
Xuan Yi was about to scold Wang Chul when he heard him say, "There are no wolves."
"What do you an? That is impossible."
In his whole stay here, those wolves guarded that small field of frost crystal flowers with their own lives.
So it was hard to believe what this soldier had said.
"I'm saying the truth! There are no wolves around the tree!" Wang Chul said in slightly louder voice before pushing the vault door a little bit more, showing an empty Plant Conservatory to Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi's eyes flickered with astonishnt.
Where did they go?
"There is our chance, grab as many of those crystal flowers as you can!" Wang Chul secured his bag to his front, ordered the soldiers, before rushing out first with a weapon on his hand.
"Yes Captain!" The soldiers followed him out to the plum blossom tree in the middle.
Wang Chul's eyes darted left and right, surveying the field.
Stealthily and quiet, everyone ran to the tree.
Wang Chul was about to grab a fruit and leave when he heard soone call his na.
"Wang Chul."
"Brother Wang Chul!"
Wang Chul stared ahead and saw Lin Weihao, Feng Ran, Bingwen and Hei Qian.
"Boss Lin!" The soldiers called out.
Xuan Yi remained at the vault door. His eyes were roaming the surroundings. Sothing isn't right.
In the midst of this reunion, everyone heard a low pitch bellowing howl.
