The strongest healer

Chapter 320 Lake
at the same time.

Wu Zhilu and Lu Xing, who woke up from their temporary camp, were also notified.

"The eternal flame on the city wall comes from a deep-sea shrimp called candlelight in the equatorial sea. The shrimp is ground into mud and then extracted. The filtrate is placed at high temperatures for years to absorb and store heat, and then made into a bomb, which can achieve the damage effect on the city wall today."

"To put out this fire, we need to rely on a transparent liquid contained in the tail of the polar shrimp. Polar shrimp is..."

Wu Zhilu woke up before Lu Xing. She simply tied her hair up and sat in front of the folding table in the tent to memorize the mission information.

Polar shrimp had never been announced before, and this was the first time that Wu Zhilu learned about this strange animal.

There is a lot to remember.

Lu Xing was silent as he packed up his equipment and put a dozen more nutrient solutions into Wu Zhilu's bag.

……

There are 34 teams accompanied by space awakeners.

Each team was allocated a quota of 10,000 polar shrimps.

The liquid obtained from crushing 34 polar shrimps is barely enough to brush the damaged parts of the walls of the two bases.

"It's been a while since I heard the word 'ten thousand' used to describe the number of alien beasts," Wang Xiaoman sighed as she stuffed nutrient solution into her equipment bag. "It's rare to see alien beasts like polar shrimp that don't change in size after transformation."

It would be nice if there were more exotic animals of this size in the world.

Oh, no...it's best if there are no strange beasts.

Jiang Chifeng held his chin up: "I don't know which one tastes better, this kind of shrimp or farmed shrimp."

……

A space door suddenly opened in the living room.

Song Shi took a look and lowered his head to send a message to Glasses.

Qiu Ruijian contacted five people in advance and asked them to come at this time, but they were all busy with their own things and didn't pay attention.

Qiu Ruijian came out carrying five filter-like fishing rods and changed into the same combat uniform as Song Shi and the others.

Qiu Ruijian is older than everyone here. He is a graduate of the 230th class of Tomorrow University and is much more stable.

"Each person gets one. When you see a polar shrimp, press the red button. All life within one meter will be detected, and the grappling hook here can automatically catch them."

Qiu Ruijian returned to the first base early in the morning to get the tools, learned how to use them, and explained them in detail to the five people.

"The fishing rod was developed overnight by the hunting group and the research institute. It has the function of automatically extracting liquid from the tail of polar shrimp. You are only responsible for finding polar shrimp, and you don't need to worry about anything else." Qiu Ruijian distributed the fishing rod to everyone.

He did not.

Qiu Ruijian is responsible for the safety of this group of people, and all his attention must be focused on the surrounding environment.

The five men fiddled with the fishing rods for three minutes, getting familiar with their use.

Qiu Ruijian formed seals with his hands and the blue vortex expanded.

Song Shi took the lead and entered to confirm that it was safe.

Tang You Secondly, if Song Shi encounters danger, Tang You will be Song Shi’s helper.

Qiu Ruijian was the third one to go in. He needed to further confirm the safety of the environment on the other side of the space gate.

Jiang Chifeng, Wang Xiaoman, and finally Wen Duolin.

As soon as you enter the door of space, you will feel a damp feeling, as if you have entered a sauna. The air is extremely humid, filled with mist, and visibility is less than ten meters.

Song Shi fanned the thick fog in front of him and looked forward with wide eyes. He could vaguely see a huge black creature lying there motionless. Song Shi immediately spread out his mental power to investigate.

The giant creature had no life in it and was dead beyond death.

"Confirmed to be safe." Song Shi's voice came through the filter at the lower right corner of the helmet.

Five people walked out of the space gate one after another.

The formation changed, with Song Shi leading the way, Tang You, Jiang Chifeng and Wen Duolin on the left, right and back respectively, surrounding Qiu Ruijian and Wang Xiaoman in the middle.

After the healing system was improved, Song Shi's mental sensing range was further expanded, and he could sense living things within a radius of one hundred meters.

Song Shi closed his eyes, and countless reptiles were stirring under his feet. However, the combat uniform was fully enclosed, and insects could not get in. Even if there were poisonous insects, they would be useless if they did not come into contact with the human body.

There were rodents hiding in the bushes, gnawing at tree roots. They were as big as fists, had very weak mental powers, and were not fully mutated.

Not all creatures outside the base have mutated. Some have not changed in form or function, but their mental strength is unstable and there is a certain tendency for mutation. Researchers call this type of mutation an incomplete mutation.

Song Shi ignored these incomplete mutant creatures and continued to lead the way forward.

Song Shi from the "Spiritual Department" is currently the eyes of this team moving forward.

"Polar shrimps usually live in deep lakes that are more than 20 meters deep, and their main food is a plant called water-deep fire grass."

Tang You followed behind Song Shi on the left, holding the hygrometer. The value soared all the way to nearly 100%. Tang You stuffed the hygrometer back to the side of the backpack.

"This grass can only produce nutrients efficiently when it is above 90% humidity. Dryness will cause them to lose water and die. If they stay underwater for a long time, they will become soaked and cracked... because they have no cell walls."

Jiang Chifeng's voice came from the right, "It's hard for this broken grass to survive."

Tang You stared at the grass by the roadside, not bothered by Jiang Chifeng's interruption, "They gather in places with high humidity. This is a good place for them to grow. Pay attention to the roadside."

Tang You sent the picture of the Deep Water and Hot Fire Grass to everyone before the action.

Within two minutes, Jiang Chifeng excitedly pulled up a fern that was exactly the same as the one in the picture and showed it to Tang You.

"I will be the first one to find it!"

Tang You only took a glance and then looked away, "It's not this kind, there aren't that many roots."

Jiang Chifeng threw it away in frustration.

The six people walked forward and passed by a small lake with a diameter of about 20 meters.

Song Shi stopped to sense for a while. There were creatures below. He was not sure if they were polar shrimps. "Should we go down and take a look?"

Tang You walked around the area and came back, shaking his head, "Without food, polar shrimps won't gather here."

Diving to the bottom of the lake and coming up again, not to mention the danger, would waste a lot of time.

The group continued to move forward in this direction.

Wang Xiaoman looked around and scratched his head, "It's a bit strange, why are there no strange beasts in this place?"

It should have been an hour since we walked.

"Is this really a free zone? Isn't it said that there are many exotic beasts in the free zone?"

The six people stopped at the same time, as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and the fear of not being able to touch the ground lingered in their hearts.

Jiang Chifeng touched the silver wolf totem on his neck, looking for a sense of security. "According to the nature of strange beasts, there must be something scary in this place. They dare not come here."

Wang Xiaoman was frightened by Jiang Chifeng's words. She shrank her neck and looked around cautiously. There was nothing but fog. She asked timidly, "Sister Shi, did you feel it?"

Song Shi said in a deep voice, "No."

"Why do you want to scare yourself?" Wen Duolin, who was in charge of the rear security, couldn't stand it any longer. "Even if there is a strange beast, we can just fight it. If we can't defeat it, we can just run away. There are so many of us, can we really be eaten?"

"Maybe the air is poisonous, maybe the water is poisonous," Tang You continued Wen Duolin's words, "What the strange beasts fear may not be what we fear."

Qiu Ruijian, who was ready to make a seal and escape, silently held the gun again.

The six regrouped.

Be more careful.

Another hour passed.

It is visible to the naked eye that the water mist is mixed with some substances.

Tang You suddenly signaled the team to stop, stared at the green particles mixed in the mist, and grabbed a handful of them. "Is this... the seeds of the deep water and fire?"

Song Shi bent down and picked up a blade of grass and showed it to Tang You, "Is this it?"

"Yes, that's it," Tang You said with excitement. "There is so much food. Let's find the polar shrimp at the bottom of the lake nearby."

Five minutes later, a dark green lake appeared before the six people.
