Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2336: Is this cheating?

Before Ma Xi could answer, Xiao Bai said, "No, the environment in her home is much worse than this. The whole forest is filled with poisonous gas, swamps, and poisonous creatures and plants. Every step you take is full of dangers. You can lose your life in a minute."

Xiao Zhi was shocked and stopped in an instant.

He asked in disbelief: "No way? Is it so scary? How did Xiao Yang and the others live then?"

Xiao Bai answered seriously, "What I said is all true, not an exaggeration at all. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Marcy."

Although he did not go to Marcy's tribe at that time, his brothers came back and told him about the situation in Marcy's tribe where they fought wits and courage with those snakes and insects.

His reaction at that time was the same as Xiao Zhi's now, unbelievable.

Marcy nodded and said, "Well, it is indeed scary to people outside, but not to us. Those poisonous gases, insects and snakes are not scary things.

On the contrary, their existence is a barrier to our survival, protecting us from external intrusions."

When Zhou Si heard this, he keenly grasped the crux of the problem.

He pressed on, "Why do you say that? Are you in any danger?"

Marcy was silent for a moment. She really didn't want to recall what happened in the past.

At that time, if it weren't for Brother Yan Jue and the others, everyone in the tribe might have been killed by the traitor.

Where else can we have such a good life as we have today?

Xiaobai also feels that these things are not easy to bring up.

After all, the tribe still has a huge treasure. Even Xiao Zhi and Zhou Si, who are very familiar with each other, don't want to talk about such a sensitive matter.

So, he said, "Some unpleasant things did happen in the past, but now they are all in the past, so let's not talk about them anymore."

Xiao Bai changed the subject at the right time and said casually: "I just took a look at the surrounding environment. If we go deeper, we may find unpredictable risks. While we are still on the periphery, how about we have lunch first? After eating, we can start working, how about that?"

Seeing that neither of them wanted to talk about it further, Zhou Si didn't intend to ask any more questions.

But the matter about Marcy was still on his mind.

It seems that this girl has experienced something. Perhaps her life has been threatened before, so she doesn't want to talk about the past.

When he thought of this, for some reason, his heart inevitably ached.

But he agreed with Xiaobai's suggestion to have lunch first.

He nodded and replied, "Okay, then let's find a place to rest and have lunch."

Xiao Zhi had no objection and suggested, "I see there's a stream ahead with fewer weeds next to it. Shall we go there?"

Everyone has no objection.

So, the four of them came to a small stream not far away, found a relatively flat place, sat on the ground, and ate the simple lunch they brought with them.

Zhou Si was very attentive and considerate. He took out a thin picnic mat from his backpack, spread it on the ground, and asked Marcy to sit on it.

Xiao Zhi took a look and immediately felt jealous, and deliberately said: "A Si is so thoughtful! But why didn't you bring a bigger cushion? Where should Xiao Bai and I sit?"

Xiao Bai also complained: "Tsk, you are biased! We don't have either of us."

Zhou Si looked at the two of them coldly and said in a cold tone: "You can't lead it yourself? Count on me? Haha, my suggestion is that you just sit on the ground."

They both wailed, "You have such a cruel heart. You value women over friendship."

Zhou Si didn't care about it at all and was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them.

He spread out the picnic mat as usual, took out the food, and gave it to Marcie first.

Marcy felt her ears suddenly feel hot as she watched his thoughtful gesture.

But she didn't refuse and ate the food he gave her quietly.

Later, after lunch, the group set out to look for the specimens that Zhou Si and his team needed.

During the search, Marcy unexpectedly discovered that in this undeveloped forest, there were some rare and valuable medicinal herbs growing in good condition.

As a doctor, she was so overwhelmed by these precious herbs that she could hardly walk.

Marcy stayed in front of several herbs for a long time and said, "It's really rare to have such herbs here!"

When Xiaobai heard this, he came over and said enthusiastically: "Go ahead and dig as much as you want. I can help you carry it back."

Marcy hesitated for a moment, afraid that this would delay Zhou Si and the others' next actions?

Xiao Zhi saw her concerns and immediately said, "It's okay, you can find your own specimens. Besides, the herbs you find must be very useful, so just dig them!"

Zhou Si took action without hesitation, "Is this the one? Should we dig out the whole plant directly, or?"

Marcy nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes, the whole plant must be dug up, with the roots. I want to take it back and plant it."

Zhou Si nodded to show his understanding.

Then, he took out a small shovel from his backpack and started digging out the herbs.

When Xiao Zhi saw it, he didn't waste any more words and immediately came over with a small shovel to help.

Just as they finished digging the herbs here, Marcy, with her sharp eyes, discovered a small bunch of strange-looking plants growing next to the rotten tree stump, which looked very much like what Zhou Si and the others were looking for.

Marcy immediately asked, "Is this the plant you are looking for?"

After hearing this, Zhou Si and Xiao Zhi immediately turned their attention to the plant and took a closer look.

Wow, it really is the fungal strain they have been looking for for a long time.

When Zhou Si saw this scene, he laughed on the spot.

"It seems...delay is not such a bad thing?"

Instead, it brought unexpected gains.

Xiao Zhi was as happy as if he had found a treasure.

He changed his mind on the spot, looked at Ma Xi and said, "Xiao Xiaoyang, if you need any more herbs, we will continue to help you find them. What if we are so lucky and there are more?"

Marcy laughed, "Not really, maybe I was just lucky this time."

Xiao Bai didn't think so. He said, "Luck is also a manifestation of strength. It's okay. Just listen to them."

Zhou Si took out a glass bottle containing culture medium from another backpack.

He asked Marcy for help, "Can you help me get that strain and put it in the liquid?"

Marcy said readily, "Okay."

When she stretched out her hand, Zhou Si grabbed it. He confirmed again and asked, "Your body is immune to all poisons. Does it also include this thing? Or is it only for animals?"

He had to ensure her safety. No jokes could be made in these desolate mountains.

Marcy knew his concerns and answered his question seriously, "All of them!"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Zhou Si let go and let her take it.

Soon, Marcy collected all those things and put them into the culture medium.

Zhou Si carefully put away the glass bottle, and then the group continued to move forward and search.

As they continued their search, Xiao Zhi was full of envy, muttering, "I really wish I could be immune to all poisons! Then I wouldn't be afraid of anything."

He suddenly turned around, looked at Xiao Bai, and asked curiously: "Do you have this physique?"

Xiao Bai smiled slightly and said truthfully: "Immune to all poisons is just a saying. I am not as strong as sister Ma Xi, who is not immune to all poisons, but... I can really resist a hundred kinds of poisons. At least, the things in this forest cannot threaten me at present?"

"what?"

Xiao Zhi was stunned and even more incredulous.

Unexpectedly, when he asked casually, he found out that Xiaobai also had this physique.

It took him a long time to digest it, and then he asked, "Do you... also swallow herbs all day long?"

Otherwise, how could one have a physique that is immune to all poisons?

This is a bit hard to understand.

Xiao Bai shook his head and explained, "I didn't take any herbs. I took anti-toxin antibodies, so I have that physique."

Zhou Si was obviously interested in this and immediately asked, "What kind of anti-toxin antibody is so strong?"

Xiao Bai continued to explain: "It is a drug that we developed independently and cannot be bought on the market."

Wuyoujie and her team developed the drug and produced the first batch of antibodies. They let their own people try it first. It was indeed effective and could be put on the market in the future, so he did not hide it.

When Zhou Si heard it, he immediately understood.

He and Xiao Zhi looked at each other, and they both thought of Lu Yanjue, whom they had met before.

If this anti-toxin antibody was developed by that person, then everything would make sense.

Xiao Zhi was immediately filled with envy, and a thought came to his mind: If I let Ah Si become a son-in-law and act as a matchmaker, I wonder if I can get some antibodies in the future?

If I could, I would have the same physique as them in the future, then I could walk sideways and not be afraid of anything.

Although Zhou Si didn't know what this guy was thinking at the moment, he could clearly tell from his expression that this guy was clearly planning something.

So Zhou Si slapped Xiao Zhi on the head without any hesitation and reminded him coldly: "Continue to look for medicinal herbs."

Xiao Zhi was sobered up by this slap, and nodded quickly in agreement, "Okay, okay."

He turned to ask Ma Xi, his expression particularly eager, "Xiao Xiaoyang, do you need anything else? I can help you dig it."

Marcy was skeptical for a moment.

Who is accompanying whom to look for specimens?

However, they had already found a specimen, so the group didn't seem so anxious anymore and actually started helping her dig herbs.

Unexpectedly, we had good luck several times along the way and found some very special fungal strains.

Some were not even in their search plan.

Great harvest!

Xiao Zhi was stunned when he saw all this.

He felt very incredible and began to look at Ma Xi, half jokingly and half seriously asking: "Xiao Shiyang, do you have a magnetic field that can automatically detect virus strains? How can you find the plants we want so accurately???"

If it were them, it would probably take a long time to find one, right?

It seems that bringing Xiao Xiaoyang along was the right decision.

This is like cheating, it's so effortless to find it!

Marcy didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "I didn't, but I can probably guess why."

The three of them turned their eyes to her, waiting for her explanation.
