“I’ll go. I’ve had an experience before. I’m more familiar with the situation than you.”
As expected, MO Ruyue refused. The reason she gave made Gu Ying unable to refuse.
“Don’t worry, I was just in an illusion just now. There’s no danger. Besides, you’re behind me to support me. What could happen to me?
Their worries for each other were connected, so she could empathize with Gu Ying’s current state of mind.
“Alright, I’ll keep an eye on your situation. Don’t go too far in, and come out immediately if anything goes wrong.”
Gu Ying nagged for a long time, and when his eyes met MO Ruyues, he slowly stopped.
Her eyes were rippling and as gentle as water. When she smiled, it was as if she could dispel the fog in front of him and make his world bright and warm in an instant.
“I will be careful, for myself and for you.”
MO Ruyue smiled and waved at Gu Ying. She changed into a new set of equipment and walked back into the black fog.
This time, when she entered the black mist again, MO Ruyue didn’t touch those floccules. As Gu Ying said, those floating floccules avoided her.
“What’s the principle of mutual repulsion? If you don’t touch it, it will reject you. If you approach it, it will all come together as if it has a life of its own.”
Instead of reaching out rashly, she opened the sampling vessel she carried with her, collected some floccules with the tool, and then quickly covered it.
In the next second, the floccules around them started to gather and attach to the sampling dish. They even started to spread to MO Ruyue’s hand.
“This works too?”
MO Ruyue let go in surprise and the sampling dish fell to the ground. If it was not made of metal, it would have been broken.
She watched helplessly as the floccules gathered and covered the entire sampling dish in an instant.
After taking out a grabbing tool, MO Ruyue took the sampling dish away as fast as she could and left the range of the black mist.
The floccules attached to it returned to the black mist, and the sampling dish suddenly began to shake and tilt in the direction of the black mist.
“Look, Ying. Those floccules look like they’re alive. They look like they’ll break with a pinch. Although we didn’t collect much samples here, the force of the impact was quite strong.”
MO Ruyue held the sampling dish in her hand and could clearly feel the impact from the sampling dish.
“This thing is strange. It seems like it can only be stored in the fog. Why don’t we wait for a while and see what will happen if it leaves for a long time?
Gu Ying pulled MO Ruyue to sit down and took out an energy bar and a water bottle from his backpack to hand to her.
“We’ve been walking all morning. Let’s take this time to rest and think of a way.”
Since they had nothing urgent to do, they had plenty of time to relax and rest.
MO Ruyue temporarily put down the sampling utensil and sat on the ground with Gu Ying. They ate and drank while looking at the cliff more than twenty meters away.
This huge fault zone should have been caused by yesterday’s landslide. It was unknown if the surrounding towns that had survived the natural disaster would suffer another wave of fatal attacks.
Although they had treated many people along the way, there were still many more people that they were helpless against.
Even if the abilities of the two of them were added with some cheat or bug, they still paled in comparison in the face of such a natural disaster.
“When we return, there will be another round of trouble. We should think of a way out now.”
MO Ruyue suddenly said, then shook her head. “Let’s observe the situation first. If we can get out of the Treasure Valley from the other side, it’s best if we don’t come back.”
This side of the cave was still a huge, hard stone wall, but the opposite side was softer, which made the stability and safety of the mountain lower.
The way back would be even more difficult than the way they came.
“When that tree was pulled out, the soil around it must have become softer. It’s
very difficult to find a safe place to exert force.”
Gu Ying was also watching carefully. His attitude was even less optimistic than MO Ruyue’s. In the end, his best choice was to take a detour.
“Then it seems that we can only take a detour, but…”
MO Ruyue looked a little hesitant, but Gu Ying saw through her thoughts with one sentence.
“You’re thinking that there’s still a need to take a detour?
“Yes, I promised the babies to let them see the Qin Village one last time before leaving. Even if the terrain has changed and the original ruins are now under the giant rock, at least they still have it in their hearts.”
“Then just do it, don’t think too much.”
Gu Ying was the same as always. His attitude was the driving force for MO
Ruyue to keep moving forward.
“Alright, we’ve had enough rest. Let’s go.”
MO Ruyue stood up and also picked up the sampling tube.
“Aren’t you going to take it to the laboratory for testing?” Gu Ying asked in surprise.
“It’s fine. Since we know that this thing will automatically avoid the human body, then we shouldn’t provoke it. Let’s hurry through this passage and go to the other side to take a look.”
“I saw the light coming from the other side just now. It’s definitely not blocked.”
The two of them put on their equipment again, and this time, they passed through the fog smoothly without any more abnormalities.
“Bing ‘Er, look, in the valley…”
Gu Ying was still at the front, and he stopped when he reached the exit on the opposite side.
MO Ruyue walked over and stood side by side with him. Looking at the scenery outside the cave, she was also stunned.
The entire valley was filled with the alien bacteria, and the fully mature bacteria kept spewing out spores, forming floccules that floated in the air.
“So it’s the spore particles of those strains? However, it felt like mud and not particles. ”
The floccules’ true form being broken through in this way was also beyond MO Ruyue’s expectations.
It seemed that the extraterrestrial fungus would cause great damage to the human body after being consumed. Its spores could also affect the human nervous system.
“It seems that the first thing we have to do after making it this far is to destroy the alien bacteria in this valley.”
She was a little curious. If she hadn’t taken away all the herbs in the valley, would the extraterrestrial fungi still have a place to live?
However, they had already found a way to kill the alien bacteria. Even if they had to deal with a valley of them, it would not be a problem.
However, this could be delayed. Their main purpose here was to confirm whether the Mirror Valley was still there.
It was just that it was a little troublesome to walk to the other side.
The alien bacteria covered the entire valley, so it was impossible to walk through it without touching it.
However, if they stepped on the bacteria, they would be infected with the floccules and repeat the same mistake in the cave.
“So, if we want to go there now, we still need to use the weedizers to clear the way.”
MO Ruyue originally wanted to deal with it when she came back, but now it seemed that she could only change her plan.
This time, the two of them each carried a spray gun. Once the medicinal liquid inside was sprayed out, the bacteria and spores that came into contact with them would wither.
Just like that, they healed themselves as they advanced. After half an hour, they finally arrived at the other side of the valley.
“It’s really gone. Although I had this premonition a long time ago, seeing it with my own eyes still feels…”
MO Ruyue looked at the smooth rock wall and said with some regret and some relief.
“It’s good that it disappeared like this. At least we know that our fate is over and we don’t need to miss it in the future.”
Although Gu Ying said this, he still felt a little melancholic in his heart.
Even though he had only met that senior once, the gift he had received was extremely precious.
More importantly, it was a heavenly ladder that had dragged him out of the swamp purgatory.
It was the same as rebirth..
