Chapter 111 An Anomaly Occurred
Xia Gu simply didn't know what to say, since this totem seemed to be something she had never seen before.
But the fact that this totem appears in this place is definitely problematic, and the problem is quite deep.
"Why does this totem suddenly appear? Could it be that other people have set foot here? Or are there other tribes that know about this totem?"
Currently, the drills are still in progress, so Xia Gu could only have Xuan Li call over a few people from other tribes to take a look and find out the real situation.
However, after seeing it, no one knew what the totem represented, and even Xue Lan was attracted by it.
"Has something gone wrong? Should we all stop and take a closer look, and think of a solution?"
Xue Lan had always thought things through very thoroughly, so she just hoped to explain the matter clearly, otherwise everyone would panic.
Xia Gu quickly shook her head. If no one knew the situation, it would be better not to alert them.
"Forget it, let's continue with the drills. It's probably just a coincidence that created this totem."
Just then, Xue Zhou suddenly stood up. He looked at Xia Gu with some nervousness, and then looked around.
"I suddenly fainted in this place, then lost consciousness, and finally found out that I had contracted the virus. You all know what happened next."
Xue Zhou sighed helplessly, wanting to explain the matter to them in detail.
"Did you see this totem before?" Xia Gu asked, somewhat surprised.
If that's the case, it proves that the totem seems to be related to Xue Zhou's infection.
“I didn’t look carefully at the time. It seems like there was one, but I’ve never seen it before when I came to this area.”
Xuezhou was very angry when people expressed their anger. If it weren't for this infection, he wouldn't have lost an arm.
[Summer Mushroom: System, come out and check if this totem is related to the apocalyptic virus infection, or if this totem can cause mutations in others?]
They didn't touch the totem, and they didn't know if the coating might emit viruses. If that were the case, it could be quite dangerous.
Fortunately, they were standing far away, which was a very critical moment.
[The host hasn't detected whether this totem is related to the apocalyptic mutated virus; it's just that the system seems to have some connection with a mysterious force.]
Xia Gu's expression became even more serious, because this was enough to prove that the mutation was related to this totem, and she didn't know what kind of people the mysterious force was.
It's even more incomprehensible that they would dare to do such a thing, especially right under everyone's noses.
To avoid causing panic, Xia Gu continued the drill as if nothing had happened.
However, this place was sealed off by them, and no one could enter. Moreover, Xia Gu had specially set up a barrier here.
That way, if other people come, Xia Gu will know immediately.
After the drill ended, Xia Gu conducted a thorough investigation of this mysterious totem.
“I must uncover the true face of this mysterious force. When that happens, you and Zhang Fenglin will both have to come with me to investigate further.”
Xia Gu decided to personally lead the team, intending to take Xue Lan and Zhang Fenglin with her to investigate.
Others are there to provide assistance at any time, which makes things a bit better.
"Sure, Xiaxia, just do everything as you say, I'll do whatever you say."
Xue Lan spoke with certainty, after all, this matter was not easy to begin with, and anything that happened suddenly was definitely problematic.
Everyone should cooperate and investigate the cause and effect of this matter as soon as possible.
Xia Gu immediately nodded. Since everyone agreed, they could proceed with the investigation directly.
Several days passed in this way, and they stayed around the totem, trying to find out what was happening around it.
However, apart from the footprints of other tribesmen, there is no other evidence to prove the existence of outsiders.
"Xiaxia, we've been working on this for so many days, why haven't we seen any results?"
"Could it be because we haven't found a very accurate cause-and-effect relationship to investigate?"
Xue Lan glanced at Xia Gu with a hint of helplessness, also realizing that this matter was indeed not easy.
Zhang Fenglin shook his head helplessly. After all, they had been busy for a while but hadn't gained anything.
"How about we stop here for now and proceed with the investigation at a slower pace? Our defenses are currently quite effective, which is why there are no infected individuals."
"Perhaps our energy matrix is sufficient, so we don't need to worry so much. Let me go take a look at my herbs."
Zhang Fenglin has been spending all his time here lately and hasn't had any other time to take care of those herbs.
Zhang Fenglin was still very worried about how the herbs were growing.
Xia Gu nodded. Zhang Fenglin had more important things to do anyway, so Xia Gu naturally wouldn't stop him.
However, if the energy matrix they set up worked and prevented other mysterious organizations from setting foot on this planet, then this outcome would certainly be something to be happy about.
But Xia Gu always felt that this mysterious totem appeared after the energy matrix, which was problematic.
Therefore, the energy matrix cannot prevent all threats; it can only ensure that no infected individuals appear.
Perhaps if the mysterious organization increases its firepower in the end, they may not be able to hold this border.
"We must not let our guard down; we still need to continue the investigation."
If we don't investigate, people will only become lazier in the end, and it will be pointless to bother them if problems actually arise.
"Okay, I know, Xiaxia, I will definitely stay here with you and guard this place forever."
Xue Lan was naturally willing to do as Xia Gu said, and always followed Xia Gu's arrangements.
Xia Gu immediately nodded. Since Xue Lan had agreed, there was no need to worry about anything else.
Meanwhile, Zhang Fenglin returned to the herb-growing area. He felt despair as soon as he arrived.
Because all the herbs he managed had mutated, and all of them had died mysteriously.
Zhang Fenglin felt utterly devastated.
