Chapter 3 Trip to Gaotang Town
Of course Wu Siyuan accepted the task.
After eating, Zhao Yali didn't need him to wash the dishes. Wu Siyuan returned to his room and whispered to the system of the original owner Luo Yuan, "The reason why Chen Weiqiang disappeared is because he was killed by a mutated cauliflower in the mountains of Gaotang Town. The snake ate it.”
Luo Yuan's system showed no response.
"It seems that we have to go to Gaotang Town to kill the cauliflower snake and find Chen Weiqiang's body. Will it be useful?" Wu Siyuan held his chin and thought thoughtfully.
He raised his head and looked out the window. It was getting dark outside.
If you go to a barren mountain at this time, you are seeking death.
Regardless of Wu Siyuan or the original owner Luo Yuan at this time, both of them are at a low point in strength and there is no need to take risks.
Just wait until tomorrow.
Anyway, within one day, Chen Weiqiang’s body would not be digested by the cauliflower snake’s stomach acid.
Wu Siyuan continued to study Luo Yuan's system and had no sleep all night.
The next day, Wu Siyuan ate a spiritual peach, called the foreign trade company where the original owner worked to ask for a leave, then took a taxi and went directly to Gaotang Town.
The trees on both sides of the road grow tall and lush, like two rows of open umbrellas, forming a lush boulevard, which makes people feel refreshed at first sight. If it weren't for the fact that one or two animal carcasses can be seen every other section of the road. If so, walking here is definitely a pleasure.
I heard from the taxi driver that places close to cities are not bad now. The wild areas or mountains have become virgin forests.
People disappear from time to time, and even their bodies cannot be found. Now many people are afraid to go up the mountain.
Chen Weiqiang was a civil servant of the Forestry Bureau. He had to go to the mountain with his leader to inspect the plants because of the strangeness, and he was killed in the snake's belly.
Because of the traffic jam, Wu Siyuan spent a lot of time before arriving at Gaotang Town.
Wu Siyuan, who has read the original work, knows that Chen Weiqiang accompanied his leader and the local deputy mayor to Zhushan in Gaotang Town.
So Wu Siyuan didn't even go to the forestry station or call the police, and went directly to Zhushan.
Zhushan is located in a remote corner of Gaotang Town, with an altitude of less than 200 meters. The whole area is dark green, with undulating heights, like a dark green python.
Looking at it, Wu Siyuan felt a cold feeling in his heart for no reason.
This is a green disaster!
Wu Siyuan shook his head and looked at the time. It was already eleven or twelve o'clock in the afternoon. It was not possible to climb the mountain if he didn't have enough energy, so he ate in a village restaurant at the foot of Mount Zhushan.
The sanitary conditions of the restaurants in the village are naturally not very high, but the flavor is unique. Most of the dishes served are game, stewed hare, snake soup, chicken with fungus, braised frog, etc.
These are the common catches of villagers. Game meat that is usually rare is now everywhere.
Wu Siyuan had a great time eating and finished several bowls of rice.
In the dining room, Wu Siyuan overheard the chatter of other guests in the hotel and learned that five people had disappeared in the village during this period, all of whom had gone up the mountain. They were neither alive nor dead, so they had already called the police.
However, the police force is very tight, and so far no police officers have come to deal with this matter.
Wu Siyuan didn't take it seriously. He ate his meal calmly, then paid and left, heading towards Zhushan.
As he passed through the village, the cement road stopped not far ahead and was replaced by a tractor road. The road was overgrown with weeds and almost submerged the road. If the villagers did not often walk on this road, it might be possible. It has long been integrated with the farmland on the left and right, and there is no road to be found.
Wu Siyuan knew that the growth rate of this weed was not at its peak yet.
After a while, the weeds can overturn even the concrete road. At that time, there will be no real place to stay, and some attack instincts may evolve.
Today's weeds are still very gentle compared to those of the future.
The wild animals on the mountain are as harmless as ants compared with the animals after the biological level jump in the future.
However, gentleness and harmlessness are also relatively obvious.
Now Wu Siyuan still did not dare to take it lightly. He activated the upgraded [Detection Technique].
Under the aura, various situations are reflected in my mind.
Including the weeds on the road, as well as the densely packed insects in the weeds, and the low-flying mountain mosquitoes.
With a thought in Wu Siyuan's mind, the [Fear Technique] was activated, exuding a terrifying aura, frightening these insects to the point where they dared not approach.
Then there is the [Plant Control] ability brought to him by the power of the Wood Domain.
The upgraded [Control Plants] can not only make plants grow rapidly and become weapons to attack enemies, but also make these plants quickly die.
So Wu Siyuan walked all the way, with his feet as the center, the weeds on both sides quickly withered and turned yellow, and insects scattered in all directions.
That is to say, the outdoor environment is more dangerous now, and no one else comes out unless something happens, so I didn't see this weird scene.
Wu Siyuan walked up the mountain smoothly.
The mountain road is not steep, but it is quite difficult to walk because there are weeds and thorns everywhere. Of course, this is for ordinary people.
Wu Siyuan naturally felt like walking on flat ground.
Even if you go deep into the mountain forest, the weeds gradually subside and are replaced by dense trees. The branches extending from the trees completely cover the entire mountain trail. If ordinary people do not cut off these branches, it will be difficult to walk.
Of course, after Wu Siyuan touched them with his hands, these branches became withered and fell from the trunk, which naturally did not affect Wu Siyuan's walking.
It's just that this originally barren hill has now become a paradise for animals. All that reaches Wu Siyuan's ears are the chirping of insects and birds, and the roar of animals from time to time, which makes Wu Siyuan a little annoyed.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed before his eyes.
When Wu Siyuan opened the [Detection Technique], he found a wild cat as big as a leopard, with red eyes and violent animality.
It looked at Wu Siyuan from a distance, and seemed to regard Wu Siyuan as an attack target. Wu Siyuan looked at it indifferently, without any fear.
Suddenly, its [Fear Technique] suddenly launched on the wild cat.
With a "swipe" sound, this wild cat, which is as big as a leopard, has its hair standing up like thorns. This is a conditioned reflex action of the cat after being stimulated.
Before the wild cat could recover, the vines near it swam silently like snakes, binding the wild cat tightly in the blink of an eye.
Confirming that it had no ability to resist, Wu Siyuan walked up to the wild cat.
The wild cat also bared its teeth at Wu Siyuan, showing its fierce side in order to block Wu Siyuan's approach.
But is this possible?
Wu Siyuan looked at it calmly, thought for a while, then opened the [Shennongjiao Space] and put it in.
[Shennongjiao Space] suddenly popped up a prompt box, "An unknown virus has been detected, which will have devastating consequences for the space ecology. Should the virus be eliminated?"
