Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 484

Chapter 484: Chapter 467: Return to the Experimental Facility

Under normal circumstances, there are only two reasons.

Either the area has a special magnetic field that disrupts the Light Computer’s signal, blocking the exchange of information between the two people and the outside world.

Or, they are dead.

If the Light Computer cannot detect the Beastman’s life signs, it will automatically terminate.

Shen Tang’s heart was in her throat; she refused to think the worst.

She quickly checked when the two people’s Light Computers went offline. It was almost the same time. Given their strong abilities, the likelihood of them being simultaneously wiped out was low. Most likely, they were together and entered the same place. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The situation might not be as bad as imagined.

In her mind, the mechanical voice of the system suddenly rang out,

[Congratulations to the host for entering the main quest (4): Pollution Control!]

[Congratulations to the host for triggering a timed task: Investigate the true cause of the polluted area. Task reward: Purification Tree Seed×1, Task duration: One month, Task failure penalty: Deduct 1000 Reputation Value!]

Shen Tang’s heart skipped a beat. It had been a long time since she heard a new task issued by the system. After completing the previous main quest (3), the system had delayed issuing a new task, claiming the time was not right. It seemed now was the time to trigger the new main quest.

This time’s timed task also had a failure penalty, but the reward was quite novel.

"A Purification Tree Seed? Could it be that once this seed is planted, it can purify the polluted area?" Shen Tang asked the system.

The system responded, [Yes, host. The power of the Purification Tree can restore polluted land and prevent further expansion of the polluted area.]

[The seed is extremely precious and hard to come by, please complete the task diligently!]

Shen Tang’s eyes lit up, wasn’t this exactly what she needed? Although the task reward was only one Purification Tree Seed, fortunately, with Fu Teng as a tool, more seeds could be cultivated. Planting them on a large scale could prevent further expansion of the polluted area, perhaps even solve the pollution problem!

Shen Tang looked at Lu Xiao, "Mobilize the army, I want to go with you."

"Female Master, the polluted area is too dangerous. I can lead the team myself." Lu Xiao disagreed.

Shen Tang held his hand and firmly said, "I know your concerns, but my mind is made up. I want to investigate personally!"

Lu Xiao knew her stubborn personality, once she made a decision, there was no talking her out of it.

He had no choice but to nod, "Alright."

"Tangtang, I also want to go with you." Jia Lan said anxiously.

Shen Tang looked at him, "Ah Lan, with both of us gone, no one will look after the Imperial City. Please take care of things here first, the polluted area is too dangerous, please don’t follow."

"But... Okay." Jia Lan knew she cared about his safety. After all, his strength wasn’t outstanding, even Xue Yinzhou and their group encountered accidents; going there would only be certain death, but his heart still felt a bit sour.

Every time there’s danger, he couldn’t help much, and now he didn’t even have the qualification to fight alongside her...

If only he were stronger.

Shen Tang felt the young man’s downcast emotions, embraced his waist, stood on tiptoe to kiss his lips, and comforted, "Don’t overthink, I will always love you, everyone has different responsibilities, I need you very much!"

"Hmm, I understand Tangtang, you’d better get on the road." Jia Lan smiled lightly.

Lu Xiao quickly assembled a troop, left the Imperial City with Shen Tang that afternoon, and went to the Southwest Border to understand the situation with the stationed troops there.

Over a year later, Shen Tang returned to the polluted area and could clearly feel that the environment had worsened.

The air was filled with grayish-red fog, like a poisonous barrier obscuring the view. Just taking a breath felt like the five internal organs were being harmed, unbearable.

The fog was filled with many spore particles from mutated plants. Once parasitized, the mortality rate was as high as 99%.

Low-level Beastmen could not take a step in the polluted area.

Lu Xiao had the main army camp outside the border and selected High-level Beastmen above the Seventh Rank to follow. They wore gas masks and heavy protective suits, following the route left by Xue Yinzhou and Xiao Jin’s Light Computer, deep into the heart of the polluted area.

The further they went, the more shocked Shen Tang became.
