Chapter 304
Although there are many healthy people, this area is simply too large.
Therefore, after searching for several hours, the group had to return to their car to rest.
However, this area can be considered fully explored.
After getting in the car, Feng Shuyuan marked an "X" on the map that had already been explored, and then navigated to the next area.
As for that graduate student?
I'm so tired I can fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow—it couldn't be healthier.
Feng Shuyuan curled the corners of his lips in the driver's seat, but a sense of worry lingered in his heart.
At the current rate, even if we search day and night, we certainly won't be able to finish.
It seems we have to think of another way.
Feng Shuyuan glanced at the small instrument in his hand.
She turned the instrument's range to its maximum.
Take a gamble!
I'm betting that the level of contamination detected is significantly different from that in ordinary areas!
……
"It's nearby!"
Looking at the land in front of him, Feng Shuyuan was so moved that tears almost fell from his eyes.
She was exhausted after searching for several days in a row!
Previously, she had divided the entire highland into regions based on the probe's maximum radius.
Then, the autonomous vehicle travels to the center point of each location for detection.
This method was actually very risky, but Feng Shuyuan had no other choice.
After completing the entire route on her first attempt, she had already identified several areas where the pollution levels were higher than normal.
Then, she tested the samples in descending order of contamination level.
Two tests were conducted in a row, but both yielded no results.
Fortunately, fate was on her side.
When Feng Shuyuan was testing the third area with high pollution levels, his eyes lit up.
The overall pollution level in the area was 42%, and she measured several areas, all of which showed a level of 40%.
what does this mean?
This means that there must have been one place with an abnormally high level of pollution, which caused the overall level of pollution in other places to rise by 2%.
After several more regional divisions, Feng Shuyuan finally found the target area.
A circular area of 10 meters by 10 meters.
However, there were no dying plants in sight.
Looking at the expanse of yellow earth in front of him, Feng Shuyuan was somewhat puzzled.
However, this is the closest she has ever been to success, and she cannot give up.
Let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
So she continued her grand undertaking of partitioning.
Behind her, Professor Prescott wore a somewhat solemn expression.
Generally speaking, the division of a region is based on a 5% threshold.
However, in the center of this 40% area, 50% of the area has already been contaminated.
This is a major discovery and must be reported to the relevant authorities as soon as possible.
It would be terrible if this happened in other places too!
This despicable pollution! How many more people will it harm?!
Must our living space be further exploited?
Professor Prescott thought with some resentment.
but……
Let's give Boss Feng a little more time.
Looking at Feng Shuyuan, Professor Prescott's eyes held a confidence he himself was unaware of.
"found it!"
Looking at the 75% mark on the instrument, Feng Shuyuan's lips moved slightly.
Even though the ground was bare, Feng Shuyuan was absolutely certain.
The place the system told her to find was here.
This place is so strange!
"75%!"
Upon seeing this number, Professor Prescott's pupils dilated in shock.
How can it be!
"Looking at it this way, it seems like this is the center of this polluted area."
Feng Shuyuan also stared at this place with a solemn expression.
There's definitely something wrong here.
If it's not on the ground, is it possible that it's underground?
Feng Shuyuan's eyes flickered.
Just do it.
She immediately went back to the car and got a shovel.
Let's try shoveling it first.
However, after digging down nearly 2 meters, they still found nothing.
A test with the instrument showed 77%.
"Let's get a professional department involved."
Professor Prescott paused for a moment.
Should I get a professional department to calculate what I found?
Feng Shuyuan tapped the system.
【Can. 】
Feng Shuyuan understood.
So, as long as I trigger this event, it counts as my task?
"No problem, I'll make the call right away."
……
This is a major discovery.
Upon hearing the news, the environmental department rushed over.
Upon seeing Professor Prescott, they immediately took the matter even more seriously.
While they were digging, Feng Shuyuan, Professor Prescott, and the other two returned to the car to wait.
Finally, on the penultimate day, after digging to a depth of 50 meters, something appeared.
"It's a patch of unknown plants!"
"That's what the excavators are shouting."
Feng Shuyuan and Professor Prescott arrived near the pit and saw a crane lifting something up.
Feng Shuyuan took the instrument and measured it.
"90%!"
The pollution levels in the pit have far exceeded the safe pollution limits.
75% on the surface and 90% underground.
Does this mean that the source of the pollution is underground?
Professor Prescott looked at Feng Shuyuan with a gleam in his eyes.
Following Boss Feng was definitely the right decision!
Shortly after the environmental department collected the plants from below, the pollution above gradually dissipated.
Therefore, Feng Shuyuan and Professor Prescott were able to see the true nature of this plant.
As the first discoverers, Feng Shuyuan and Professor Prescott each received 5 plants.
The other plants were taken away by the environmental department.
Professor Prescott snorted.
"Just wait, they'll have to give me back these experimental materials that were taken away sooner or later."
As a leading figure in pollution research, Professor Prescott has the authority to make such a statement.
After he finished speaking, the old man looked at the plant as if he had found a treasure.
"Wow, this is great stuff!"
When these plants grow together, they can actually cause pollution.
Could this plant be the source of the pollution?
The old man suddenly remembered the polluted plants that Feng Shuyuan had provided him.
Although they don't look alike, their levels of pollution are also different.
Maybe every plant looks different?
Beside him, as Feng Shuyuan received the plant, the system's voice immediately rang in his mind:
Hidden quest completed.
[You have been awarded one Purple Gold gacha pull, which has been stored in the gacha system.]
[Plants with 50% pollution level have been obtained]
A hint of peace flashed in Feng Shuyuan's eyes.
Anyway, it's good that the task was completed.
With Professor Prescott, who treasured the plant and was preparing to conduct a comprehensive study, Feng Shuyuan returned to the car.
They should go back.
"Professor Prescott, I have a preliminary idea."
The car had been driving for a while, and the three people inside were examining the plant closely, trying to find a breakthrough.
After fiddling with the plant in his hand for a while, and seeing that the plant was almost hollow, Feng Shuyuan suddenly said.
"what idea?"
Now, Feng Shuyuan is Professor Prescott's darling.
Professor Prescott would listen attentively to whatever she said.
"I'm wondering, is it possible that pollution is a living organism?"
Feng Shuyuan looked solemn.
"And this plant is its food?"
