357: C357 Mountain Entering, Dark Experiment

C357 Mountain Entering, Dark Experiment

After two or three hours, the group of five arrived at the mission location within the Sichuan region and split up into three squads to investigate.

Considering the special nature of the mission, and everyone's own interests, Xiao Fan originally recommended everyone to complete the mission together, but was rejected by others.

Liu Lu and Ye Ziming rejected Xiao Fan's suggestion, thinking that each of them would do their own thing.

Besides, there was only one position of CEO's bodyguard. If five people worked together and advanced, wouldn't it mean that five people would have to share the benefits of each position?

In the face of great benefits and personal prospects, the human heart is selfish.

Lin Zhi Wen was a dumb ass. If he did not speak normally, Liu Lu and Ye Ziming would not have him. Naturally, he agreed to follow Xiao Fan.

As for Jiang Qingyi, because of Jiang Yan's orders, they had to keep an eye on Xiao Fan, and so followed Xiao Fan's team.

Only by following Xiao Fan would he be able to fully observe him. If Xiao Fan approached her mother with some sort of goal in mind, then the details of Xiao Fan's actions would be extremely important.

The group of five split into three squads. Xiao Fan brought Jiang Qingyi and Lin Zhi Wen to the surrounding villages to investigate. After understanding some basic information, they headed deep into the mountains.

"Things are a bit complicated this time. Those fruits are just ordinary wild fruits. The villagers usually have no problem eating them, so why did those people go crazy and lose their minds after eating them yesterday?" Within the small mountain, Jiang Qingyi said with a serious expression on her ice-cold and gorgeous face.

The three of them roamed around the surrounding mountain village and got to know more about it. In the end, it caused them to feel somewhat surprised and confused.

According to the villagers who went into the mountains with the mutated human, the mutated human only ate a kind of red-brown wild fruit and soon began to mutate. They became violent and out of control, attacking and biting anyone they saw.

However, those kinds of wild fruits were very common in the mountains, so they weren't too surprising.

For so many years, when the villagers saw those wild fruits in the mountains, they would pick them and eat them without a care in the world.

Only yesterday afternoon, among the villagers who went into the mountains, there were more than a dozen people who started to mutate after eating it. Not only were they violent and uncontrollable, their entire skin turned purplish gray, their eyes turned yellow, and the blood vessels on their bodies bulged, as if there was something squirming inside.

After about half a day, the mutated villagers exploded and died. Black blood oozed out from their body along with the stench of blood.

At first, the villagers thought it was zombies. Just like in the movies on TV, the mutated villagers were zombies.

Fortunately, the villagers who were bitten did not mutate into mutants.

"Wild fruits are normal wild fruits, but there's a problem after eating them yesterday. The water quality or soil quality in that area should have changed. There must have been some sort of poison, which caused the wild fruits to have toxins as well!" Lin Zhiwen's eyes were deep as he supported his chin with his hand and said with a serious expression.

The moment Lin Zhi Wen opened his mouth, Jiang Qingyi was alright.

On the other hand, Xiao Fan was extremely shocked as he looked at Lin Zhi Wen in shock.

The man who was looking at the calabash spoke at the critical moment. His analysis was quite good.

Indeed, the mutated human incident this time was very strange.

The strange fruits eaten by the mutated villagers were wild fruits that the villagers loved to eat when they were at peace.

For the past few years, the villagers had eaten that kind of wild fruit without a problem, but now that something had happened, Lin Zhiwen's analysis was very much in line with the current situation.

"What, could it be that my analysis is wrong?" Lin Zhi Wen asked as he saw Xiao Fan's surprised expression looking at him.

"No, no. Brother Lin's analysis is correct. I was thinking the same thing. The water quality or soil quality of that area must have changed, and there must have been poison in there!" Xiao Fan smiled at Lin Zhi Wen and said awkwardly.

"If you know Horse Shooter, then why do you think the water quality and soil quality have changed?" Jiang Qingyi looked at Xiao Fan with contempt and said.

"Well, there must be an important reason for the change in water quality and soil quality. Either it's man-made, or cultivators are doing shameful experiments in that area of the mountain range and polluting it, or there's a true monster lurking around!" Xiao Fan thought for a while and said.

After coming to this world, he had a better understanding of the world's advanced technology.

In this world, industrial development also brought about huge pollution, especially air water and soil pollution, affecting the human living environment.0

Based on what they knew and their own analysis, the wild fruits that had been safe were now contaminated with water and soil. The wild fruits must have absorbed the pollutants and turned them into mutated fruits.

The pollution of the water quality and soil quality was either because someone was experimenting in that area. The sewage discharge contaminated the water and soil quality of the surrounding area.

Those experiments were still very dark, and were more likely to involve cultivators.

If this situation was ruled out, then a change had really happened in that area. There were monsters that appeared, and they contaminated the surrounding environment.

"Then we will have to search carefully in that area. Otherwise, if we can't find the source, we won't be able to complete our mission!" Lin Zhiwen suggested.

The mission this time was not only to bring the strange fruits back to the guild for research and analysis, but also to find the source of the mutation and burst. Only then would the mission be perfectly completed.

"That's right, I think Liu Lu and Ye Ziming will think of it as well. We should hurry to that mountain range, otherwise those two would snatch it away first!" Xiao Fan looked at Lin Zhi Wen admiringly, nodding as he spoke.

This Smothering gourd didn't talk normally. He looked silly, but he was a very quick-witted and intelligent person.

The three of them increased their speed and headed towards the place where the villagers were picking up the mutated fruits. Within ten minutes, they found the location where the incident happened due to their extraordinary speed.

In this mountain forest, there was indeed a red-brown wild fruit. This kind of wild fruit grew in wet places.

Xiao Fan picked a wild fruit, broke open the fruit flesh, and unleashed the energy in his hands, causing the fruit to explode with a light burst of energy.

"This wild fruit contains a certain amount of violent energy. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to stand it even if they ate it. Moreover, that energy also has poison in it. Either there are cultivators carrying out some sort of dark experiment, or there are poisonous life forms around here!" Xiao Fan said with a solemn face: "But I am more inclined to the cultivators messing with me, conducting some kind of shameful experiment!"
