Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 832: Extra - - Sweet Daily Life of Teasing Dogs 13
But Adolf wasn’t a fool. He immediately explained Huo Zhirui’s situation, and Lin Tao was taken aback after hearing it.
Adolf frowned and said, "You let Huo Zhirui go, so you must be his accomplice. Have you been parasitized by mutated plants too?"
"Ah, no, I haven’t!"
Though Lin Tao was cunning, he wasn’t hopelessly stupid. He promptly said, "I, I was tricked by Huo Zhirui! He said Dr. Gu was pursuing a personal vendetta against him and wanted to imprison him. That’s why I did it... I had no idea he was associated with mutated plants!"
He finally looked at Gu Yu, very frustrated, and said, "I was mad because Dr. Gu burned all my hair off, that’s why I did it..."
Adolf frowned, but Gu Yu turned around and walked out.
Adolf also walked out but still ordered someone to keep watch on Lin Tao.
Adolf said, "Dr. Gu, what do you think about Lin Tao..."
"He was telling the truth just now. This person is brainless; even the leader of the mutated plants wouldn’t bother with him. But don’t let him go free for now because he’s stupid and easily manipulated by bad people, causing trouble."
Adolf nodded, "Alright, we’ll temporarily have someone else cover Lin Tao’s duties. We’ll deal with him after this matter is resolved, back on Landis Star."
At this moment, someone walked in and frowned, "Lord Adolf, we couldn’t find Huo Zhirui in the staff dormitory area."
"What? And the surveillance equipment, didn’t it show where he went?"
The other person shook his head, looking depressed, "No."
Gu Yu adjusted his white gloves, "Since he’s a base staff member, he must know some secret passages. By now, he probably has left the base. If I’m not mistaken, he likely went to the lakeside."
Adolf realized something. He immediately said, "Dr. Gu, don’t go out yet. Let’s wait until Lu Yu brings his team back."
Gu Yu asked back, "Have you contacted Lu Yu yet?"
Adolf shook his head, looking grim, "These mutated plants are quite sinister, so Dr. Gu, you’d better stay at the base for now. Additionally, the main star has sent reinforcements to support us."
Adolf is a very cautious person. Despite his usual smile, he is highly sensitive to danger.
Though there’s no major conflict at the moment, he can sense that this support is different from before.
Given Gu Yu’s special status, Adolf would rather risk his own life than let this young master get into trouble.
Gu Yu isn’t one to be reckless. Even with White Tiger’s constant mumbling in his ear about the most dangerous place being where the flower of love blooms.
He nodded, temporarily giving up the plan to go to the riverside.
Fortunately, Lu Yu hasn’t been out of touch for too long. But when he brought his team back, they were in a bit of a mess, and two members were missing.
"We encountered something very strange; my team members seemed to lose their minds and attacked each other. I had to knock out the unaffected Star Warriors to get them out of there, but it took a long time to leave the lakeside."
They were divided into several squads to investigate areas densely populated with mutated plants. The lakeside was also an observation and detection point because it covered a large area, so Lu Yu personally led the team.
Luckily, he led the team himself. After realizing something was wrong, he made a quick decision, managing to bring most people back, but two members are still missing.
Adolf knew this matter was very tricky. He asked, "How are the team members whose minds were controlled?"
"They’ve been sent to the temporary medical station."
The two went to the Lin Family medical station together. Gu Yu was already there, checking the data of the team members, "These team members’ spiritual power is severely damaged. What exactly attacked you?"
Lu Yu shook his head in guilt, "I didn’t see it. I don’t even know what it was. Due to the bizarre situation of my team members, I could only get them out immediately."
But two team members were still lost, and even their bodies were not found, making Lu Yu feel even guiltier.
Gu Yu thought about Huo Zhirui’s words. His attention was drawn to the word "confuse," indicating that these mutated plants could confuse people and create hallucinations?
This type of mutated plant has been encountered before, but its impact wasn’t as widespread.
Seeing the state Lu Yu and his team were in, it was clear they didn’t have a chance to get a sample of the mutated plants, and ordinary mutated plants had no research value. Gu Yu realized he had to go to that lake.
Adolf noticed the intense curiosity in Gu Yu’s eyes. He knew this young master was very interested in the leader of these mutated plants. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
But considering Lu Yu’s high Beast Transformation Level and extensive experience, even he ended up like this. Plus, Gu Yu, who spends his days in the lab, definitely has no real combat experience.
He suddenly remembered that the reinforcements would arrive soon, and Adolf quickly said, "Oh right, Dr. Gu, it’s said among the reinforcements is your sister, Lady Gu Yan. When she arrives, let’s welcome her together."
"What? Xiaoyan is coming?"
"Yes, because she is an expert in mutated plants."
Gu Yan’s status is very high, but she’s also an excellent Plantman. Regarding tricky mutated plants, she is undoubtedly the most professional plant expert.
Originally, Gu Yan didn’t need to come, but she heard her brother was here and that they were dealing with stubborn mutated plants, so she volunteered to come.
But the place is too dangerous and unclear what exactly the mutated plants are, so Gu Yu really didn’t want his sister Xiaoyan to come.
"I’ll ask her!"
He turned and went back to his office, opened the light brain, and contacted his sister, Gu Yan.
Gu Yan’s image quickly appeared on the virtual screen. She asked with concern, "Brother, I heard the base you are supporting encountered a very tricky problem. Are you safe?"
"I’m fine, I’ve been in the base, the base is safe. But what about you, why did you suddenly come here?"
"I was worried about you, and Bai Li is here with me, so you don’t need to worry."
"..."
Even though Gu Yu was quite worried about his sister, seeing his brother-in-law already standing next to Xiaoyan on the screen, guarding her closely, made Gu Chen feel like he was force-fed some dog food!
Good thing Gu Yu had been fed dog food by his parents since childhood and quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Alright, since you’ve already arrived, let’s discuss the specifics when you get here."
"Brother, what kind of mutated plant is on this base? Do you have any data? What are the characteristics of the mutated plants?"
