Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

The expedition team is constantly losing staff due to various diseases, and the unexplored areas in the jungle are gradually shrinking.

They tested organisms at different positions in the food chain in the jungle, and the content of radioactive substances in their bodies was basically within the safety standard.

In the end, there was only the area where the cave where the birdman lived was left, and they hadn't been there yet under Yu Di's deliberate avoidance.

It was not within the scope of Cheng Die's original artificial womb, and Cheng Die was not interested in being a curious baby. She had to see every corner of the jungle to be comfortable-she hated this wild life.

So they submitted a return application to the launch tower and asked them to pick up people at the edge closest to their location.

The launch tower is also very busy recently. Expedition teams from all over the country have completed the first phase of the mission one after another, and there are quite a few of them who have frequent problems like them.Hearing that they have reduced their staff by six, the command office specially prioritized them.

The team members who can stay here until now and still maintain normal mobility have strong adaptability.Lin Huan isolated many types of antibody serum from Ruan Lan's blood, and teased her: "Your physique is really suitable for vaccine testing."

After Ruan Lan recovered from a serious illness, although she was almost out of shape, she was in good spirits.When resting, she and Geng Xianbo went hunting together with Yu Di. The traps they designed were quite ingenious, which saved them a lot of energy.

Cheng Die didn't sleep well, she always felt that something was staring at her, but no matter how she tried to search, she couldn't find any clues.

At night it was Yu Di's turn to guard the fire, her mind was in a mess, she simply sat next to Yu Di, staring at the starry sky with her in a daze.

"Can't sleep?" Yu Di tilted her head to look at her.

"Hmm. I always feel like we're being followed."

Yu Di looked around: "Impossible, our team has nothing to dare to mess with here."

"It's just a feeling." Cheng Die said irritably, picked up a branch and poked the fire.

Yu Di patted Cheng Die on the shoulder.

In fact, she felt the same way, except that she knew who was following.

The expedition team made a lot of noise, and after staying in the jungle for so long, even if they avoided the birdman's range of activities, they couldn't hide it from him.

Yu Di was very glad that he just followed and did not appear in front of the team members abruptly.Otherwise, if panic is caused, the situation may get out of hand.

But now, the starry night is bright and the bonfire is warm, which is a good time for talking at night.

Yu Di started the conversation first.

"Cheng Die, what do you think will happen if the embryo experiment is successful?"

"It's probably a test tube. If this batch of embryos grows successfully and has normal human thinking ability, I think the resistance on the space station should be reduced a lot."

"Then, should we continue to use animal cells, or use the adults of these embryos?"

Cheng Die gave her a strange look: "Of course it is an adult. We have to find out what happened to it."

Although Yu Di didn't want to hear this answer, she also knew in her heart that when a birdman appeared in the public eye, he had to go through such an experience.

She wanted to take this opportunity tonight to tell Cheng Die about the bird man, but when she was about to speak, Cheng Die interrupted her thoughts: "Those experiments, although they seem cruel, what Su Nuoxi said, I don’t deny it in private. But if I don’t do it, it’s like giving up even the struggle before death.”

She looked at Yu Di: "You don't want to fail, do you?"

The irritability kept beating from his chest, Yu Di grabbed a piece of grass and chewed it in his mouth without saying a word.

Cheng Die pursed her lips: "We didn't have any luck here, I hope other groups can gain something."

"If you can sleep, you can sleep for a while. It will rain in the next few days, and the road will be difficult to walk."

"Yeah." Cheng Die squeezed Yu Di's shoulder and went back to the tent.

The return journey was faster than when he came, and the bird man who followed the expedition team was a little anxious-why did Yu Di ignore him?It's annoying to bring someone else out every time you go hunting.

And because of his aggressiveness, not only Cheng Die found out that someone was following him, but the rest of the team also felt something was wrong.

"Yu Di, I'm a little scared." Ruan Lan walked behind her and whispered.

"what happened?"

"This morning, I saw a pair of eyes in a tree outside our camp."

"monkey?"

Ruan Lan shook her head: "I don't know, but I always feel like I have an intention. It can't be a predatory herd animal, right?"

"I haven't encountered it before, probably not." Seeing that Ruan Lan was still very vigilant, Yu Di comforted, "Don't think so much, we will go out in two days. You see, the trees are much sparser."

"really?"

"Of course." Yu Di said with certainty.When people are afraid, they are always more inclined to trust a "predecessor" who has been in the same environment.

Although he said so, Yu Di also knew that if he didn't talk to the bird man, this guy would probably appear in front of them directly.

Lin Huan suddenly yelled, and pointed to a place about ten meters away: "Yu Di, look over there, what kind of animal marks are there?"

Yu Di looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that the branches and leaves on one side of the tall and short trees were broken, and a lot of bark was scratched off.

This trace, Yu Di is too familiar - it is the smiling face tree!

She looked at the time: "Just set up camp ahead, I'll check it out later."

Geng Xianbo and Ruan Lan wanted to go with her, but they were both rejected.

"That thing is not dangerous, and it has been there for a long time. I just went to have a look, and go to the bathroom by the way, and I will be back soon. Just help me light the fire."

Ruan Lan and Geng Xianbo looked at each other in blank dismay——Yu Di has always insisted on not acting alone, and always emphasized it to them, what's wrong?
But since she said she wanted to go to the bathroom, it was hard for her to follow.The two went around to collect a lot of dry firewood, and made some traps, ready to try their luck.

Yu Di made sure that no one was following her, so she sat down on the ground, put her hands behind her head, and lay down.

A fruit the size of half a fist hit her chest.

"You just came."

Yu Di looked up, and the bird man jumped down from the tree, looking down at her, his eyes filled with anger.

Yu Di laughed and said, "Those people are not safe."

Birdman was also lying next to her: "Not safe? Are you in danger?"

Yu Di shook her head: "They will arrest you and study you."

Birdman couldn't help but clutch the fur on his chest—he didn't want to be a star.

"Are you here to pick me up?" Birdman turned his head to look at Yu Di.

Yu Di didn't answer, she pinched a birdman's feather and looked at it over and over again.

"You didn't come to pick me up." Birdman was a little disappointed, "But it's so boring here, they can't talk."

"Are you afraid of pain?" Yu Di said suddenly.

"I'm afraid." Birdman blinked, "You are also afraid, everyone is afraid of pain."

"If you come with me, it might hurt." Yu Di looked at Birdman seriously, "Do you want to go?"

There was a trace of fear in the bird man's eyes, he touched the fractured part of his wing: "How painful is it? Is it more painful than being broken here?"

Yu Di lightly touched the protruding bone: "Maybe, I don't know."

"That's not necessarily!" Birdman sat up, "It doesn't necessarily hurt. It's like drinking water from a river, you don't necessarily have diarrhea. You will, but I won't."

Yu Di looked up at him: "Have you thought about it? Come with me?"

"Come with you. I want to talk to people." Birdman said affirmatively.
