Knowing that the convoy would not enter Jiangbei City, Jiang Zhuying and Li Yuxin, who were born and raised in Jiangbei City, could not help but feel a sense of loss.
Many of their friends and classmates had not seen each other since doomsday, so they didn't know how many of them were still alive.
In this post-apocalyptic world, it was always a pleasant surprise to see someone who was still alive like them. Thinking of this, Li Yuxin felt it was a pity that Yan Fangfei was still alive. Otherwise, it would be a happy thing to see her classmates alive.
"Captain Jiang, we are about to enter the mountain," Zhu Changqing reminded Jiang Liushi through the walkie-talkie.
At the same time, Ran Xiyu also opened her spiritual domain. Maintaining her spiritual domain was a big burden for her, so she could only use her special ability at that time.
This was the same regardless of whether it was a mental ability or any other ability. It was impossible for an ordinary person to maintain a state of high concentration all the time, or to run at their limits.
Ran Xiyu immediately checked the surrounding situation, but she didn't find anything unusual.
"Let's enter the mountain. Pay attention to mutant beasts," Jiang Liushi said.
The convoy went on the mountain road, and the dense trees on both sides gave people a feeling of ghosts. All the soldiers raised their vigilance, and even Qin Xiaonan became quiet.
"After doomsday, the growth of many plants has changed. Although viruses can't infect plants, the changes of animals and humans still have an impact on plants. If humans before doomsday ate these plants, they may also mutate and be infected, "Professor Qin said while staring out of the window, observing the plants along the way.
Her main research objects were crops and vegetables, but she was also interested in other plants.
"So, people can eat them without any problems, and they may even be helpful?" Jiang Zhuying asked curiously.
Professor Qin thought for a moment and nodded. "You can say that. For example, mutant meat can also enhance the physique of ordinary people. However, many paranormals don't have enough to eat, so how can ordinary people eat it? But plants are different, and different substances can be extracted from different plants. These substances have changed compared to before doomsday, and their effects are also different.
For example, artemisinin, which is extracted from Artemisia annua. Artemisia annua after doomsday and before doomsday may have mutated into two different plants, so is the artemisinin extracted from it an antimalarial drug? Could it have turned into some other medicine? "
"That makes sense. If we can find a plant that is similar to mutant beast meat, we can solve the problem of mutant beast meat supply," Li Yuxin said.
"It will be very difficult. At present, whether it is evolutionary crystals or anything else, they are essentially mutant meat. This is the only substance that can quickly replenish energy and promote evolution for paranormals." Professor Qin was not optimistic about this.
Li Yuxin shook her head lightly. She was just looking forward to it.
They left Shenhai Island and gradually escaped from the tide of zombies, but the survivors in Shenhai Island had to risk their lives to hunt when they ran out of mutant meat.
Jiang Liushi listened to their conversation, and he was very interested in what Professor Qin said.
At this moment, the car in front suddenly stopped.
"Captain Jiang, there's a landslide ahead. It's probably caused by the previous rain, but fortunately, the landslide is not large. We will send two vehicles and some soldiers to clear the road. To ensure safety, please stay with the scientists," Zhu Changqing said.
Landslide?
For the safety of the scientists, Zhu Changqing told them not to get close, but it would take a long time for the soldiers to clear the obstacles, and it would be very risky.
"I'm going to have a look, if you …"
As soon as Jiang Liushi opened his mouth, Qin Xiaonan immediately said, "Mom and I will not get off. We will stay with you."
On the way, Qin Xiaonan had found that Shi Ying Squad's minibus was the safest and most comfortable.
"That's good." Jiang Liushi nodded, and then said to Ying, "Drive over."
Another military vehicle carrying two scientists had already stopped, but when they saw Jiang Liushi's car driving up, they were stunned. They had also heard Zhu Changqing's words through the walkie-talkie.
"Captain Jiang, we can't help you with the digging," one of the scientists, surnamed Peng, quickly opened the window and said.
"Yes. We have engineer shovels … "The soldier next to him also said.
Jiang Liushi frowned. The military had sent more than a dozen escorts. In addition to combat members, there were various kinds of soldiers, which could solve most of the problems they encountered on the road.
However, it seemed that the 'most of the problems' did not include accidents such as landslides.
The efficiency of excavating the earth with engineer shovels was very slow, so they would have to stay there for the night.
"I'll go and have a look. Maybe I can help," Jiang Liushi said.
Seeing that Jiang Liushi's minibus was determined to drive ahead, the scientist surnamed Peng said helplessly, "Captain Jiang is a good person, but he is too young. Maybe he has never seen a landslide. There are so many piles of earth and stones, and he will be dumbfounded if he drives there. "
"Yes." The other scientist also nodded.
They all felt that Jiang Liushi was a bit stubborn. Moreover, Professor Qin and her daughter were also in the minibus. There were hidden dangers at the site of a landslide.
Jiang Liushi didn't listen to them and drove away. They didn't even have time to stop him.
People who were young and capable were mostly young and frivolous. The two scientists could only shake their heads.
"We should also get closer." Looking at the minibus going away, the soldiers in the military vehicle felt a little scared. If a mutant beast jumped out, it would be troublesome. So they also drove far behind.
Soon, Jiang Liushi's minibus was close to the site of the landslide.
The area of the landslide was not large. At first glance, there was a khaki-colored scar on the green hillside. A large amount of earth and stones were piled up on the narrow mountain road, so vehicles couldn't drive directly.
Several soldiers were holding guns on guard, while the rest of the soldiers were using engineer shovels to clean the larger stones.
Even Zhu Changqing did it himself. His body was twice as big as usual, and his exposed arms were full of bulky muscles. He picked up a big rock with his bare hands, which caused a lot of cheers from the soldiers.
His strength was really terrible. As the captain of the escort team, Zhu Changqing's strength was certainly not bad.
However, there were too many stones in this area, and several of them were estimated to be about half a meter in diameter. Such stones were too difficult to clean.
"Captain Jiang, why did you come here?" Zhu Changqing was shocked. The cleaning work would last for a long time, and they were not geological experts. No one could guarantee that there would not be a second landslide. Zhu Changqing had told Jiang Liushi to stay behind, but why did they still come up?
At that moment, Zhu Changqing saw the gunner room rising from the roof, and Jiang Zhuying appeared inside. She waved at them and shouted, "My brother said that you should go to the side first."
Go to the side?
