Chapter 904: Chapter 904 The Visitor from Afar
Su Jin’s proposal imdiately received Lu Hao’s support. Labi is even bigger than the zombie snow leopard they just saw, and there aren’t many people around. If they could use it to climb M peak, they could reach the top within a day, not just halfway.
Labi, lounging drowsily on a patch of grass in space, perked up energetically when Su Jin called it.
“Labi, it’s dirty outside. Don’t eat things you shouldn’t,”
Su Jin said, lying on Labi’s furry back, concerned.
Labi nodded its head in a human-like manner.
As for food, there was plenty to eat here. It had long wanted to exercise, and now that the mistress called, it had no reason to refuse.
“After raising it for so long, it’s finally ti to use it,”
Lu Hao comnted, sitting with Su Jin on Labi’s back.
“Clearly, you’re not a pet lover. Who keeps pets expecting them to give back?”
Su Jin replied, not realizing she was keeping a more than two-ter-tall mutated lion as a pet.
“That’s true,”
The extra livestock and poultry in the space were dealt with by Labi and Little Wu and Little Liu; otherwise, they couldn’t manage so many.
Labi excitedly carried the pair up the mountain.
The steep slopes and jagged rocks were nothing to it. Even when descending from high to low points, its paw pads kept the two riders from feeling any jolt.
What originally took a day and a half to climb on foot was reduced to two hours by Labi, and soon, the two humans and the lion reached the snow-covered mid-mountain.
“Labi, you can’t eat the snow here either, understand?”
Su Jin reminded it again.
Labi obediently crouched down, allowing its two masters to slide smoothly off its mane.
Only then did Su Jin take out the sample bottles Tang Xue prepared beforehand and started collecting ice and snow samples with Lu Hao.
…
Tang Xue hadn’t expected Su Jin and Lu Hao to return so quickly because they planned to spend 2-3 days when setting out in the morning.
“We climbed using wood elent ability. It was pretty fast,”
Su Jin randomly concocted. Without Labi, they planned to use wood elent ability for the rest of the climb.
Tang Xue didn’t dwell on how they climbed with wood elent ability because more urgent matters required their attention: analyzing the M peak ice and snow samples.
The samples Su Jin and Lu Hao brought back were plentiful, with outer and inner layers from each location, totaling several dozen. Testing them would be no small task.
“You two go ahead and get busy. I’ll have soone bring you dinner tonight,”
Seeing Tang Xue had no mind to chat, Su Jin quickly suggested, as they also needed to check on their kids.
The family had learned through space during the day that Su Jin and Lu Hao went mountain climbing with Labi, but they still feigned surprise when they returned.
“They said you two were fast, but this is too much!”
Guo Yang exclaid.
“Thinking of Xixi and Wangwang, of course we were eager to get back. Using abilities is quite convenient for climbing,”
Su Jin smiled.
Knowing how hard Tang Xue and the researchers worked, Su Jin and her family cooked so lean at porridge in the small kitchen, including various dishes and buns Lin Yunguo made from space, and had Lin Xiuyuan send them over.
Tang Xue’s group was imnsely grateful. Although they had staff responsible for als and supplies, their daily needs mostly ca from the Heart Talk team, which occasionally sent them highly nutritious als, letting them feel a touch of warmth while far from ho.
“You always trouble yourselves to make so much. I don’t know how to thank you enough,”
Chang Xuan said.
“No problem. Our team mber Kou Ning always brings back many mutated animals, and we’d waste them if we didn’t eat them. Keep up the good work,”
Lin Xiuyuan waved and said.
These researchers were once scientists they dread of becoming when they were young. You have to admire scientists with this spirit of inquiry. Even when comrades perished, they grieved only briefly, showing no inclination to retreat.
Sacrifice for others can be fulfilled in any position…
Amid Tang Xue’s group’s tireless research and testing, the training team dispatched from S City base arrived at Y autonomous region.
Everyone was surprised that Jian Zongzheng’s team was among them.
“Su Jin, long ti no see!”
Zhang Chuyang was the first to run over excitedly, and Anna and Zhang Xiaoai behind him waved and greeted everyone.
“Long ti no see, why are you here?”
Su Jin asked, surprised.
“We got the mission to escort the training team here and heard that this Y autonomous region is a great place for upgrading. Everyone recently got stuck just short of leveling up and wanted to give it a try,”
Wang Zhu explained.
Su Jin found it amusing. It seed that since Extre Fla left, this place had beco the so-called “upgrade zone.”
“I hope you all successfully level up. It’s not like S City here,”
“Su Jin, Lu Hao, we’ll need you this ti. If you could give a briefing on the situation here, it’d be best—especially about the dangers, so everyone can be on guard,”
Team leader Xing Taian said.
“No problem. You all just got here, settle in first,”
Lu Hao agreed, seeing that these trainees were quite exhausted, with so even experiencing altitude sickness.
Fortunately, Lin Tianhui was quite skilled in this area and, being from their ho base, hurried to organize things.
“Um, let ask quietly, how can I get rid of this thing?”
Ye Shuai raised one of Han Xiao’s hands and walked over to Su Jin’s group to ask.
Han Xiao’s expression was struggling to grin through clenched teeth. The injury on his hand hurt too much. A gray-green plant had grown on his right palm, and the roots could be seen embedded under his skin.
“So the first rule of being here is to rember: don’t randomly touch the plants here,”
Su Jin shook her head and said.
“Captain Su, so… is there any hope for ?”
Han Xiao could no longer smile. The fear of the unknown grew with Su Jin’s shaking head.
He wouldn’t end up infected, would he?
“There’s hope, but you’ll suffer a bit,”
Su Jin didn’t want to scare Han Xiao. Anna and the others beside him looked terrified too.
But hearing there was hope, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“You scared , Brother Han Xiao. Curiosity can kill the cat. Who told you to touch it?”
Zhang Chuyang scolded, covering his chest.
“Su Jin, what exactly is this thing?”
Jian Zongzheng couldn’t help but ask.
