Near Jinyun Mountain Reserve.

The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and said to the surrounding technicians: "Bring the equipment, we will go directly into the mountain."

Seeing that these people were carrying large and small bags, they were about to walk into the mountains. The official staff member who was delisted quickly asked, "Hey, wait, we are from the Agricultural Bureau. Who are you?"

Hearing the words, the middle-aged man smiled gently, took out the certificate from his pocket and handed it over: "Fortunately, we are personnel from the technical department of the Forestry Bureau, specially here to investigate the out-of-season condition of plants in the vicinity."

Forestry Bureau?

Tang You smiled and said nothing.

The current Anomaly Investigation Bureau is still a highly confidential department in the Yan Kingdom. If they have not reached a certain level, or have not encountered extraordinary events, the vast majority of official personnel do not know their existence.

Therefore, when the general investigation bureau acts, the surface is covered with a shell. For example, the so-called Forestry Bureau personnel at this time.

The delisting officer looked at the certificate and didn't think there was any problem, so he handed it back: "Comrade, the woods are no better than the outside, you pay attention to safety."

"OK, thanks."

The middle-aged man took the certificate and took him to the mountains.

Seeing them leave, the passers-by who had asked the question before looked around, only to realize the problem: "If they didn't say I hadn't paid attention, this year is not too warm, but the germination is so early, what's going on?"

"Who knows, the abnormal weather last year was an important reason for the decrease in grain production."

Hearing the words in his ear, Tang You led Oria away slowly.

His purpose of going out today has been achieved, and as the "behind the scenes" that caused the abnormal vegetation in Jinyun Mountain, he obviously will not pay attention to the scientific research of the people of the Anomaly Investigation Bureau.

When they reached a corner that no one was paying attention to, Tang You took Oria into the door of light and returned to the headquarters.

...

the other side.

The personnel of the biological department of the Investigation Bureau, before they actually stepped into the forest, opened their backpacks, took out a long opaque sampling tube, and pressed hard into the soil until the end was flush with the ground, and then the tube was pulled out.

At this point, it was already full of soil.

The young technicians took out the label and carefully wrote the sampling coordinates and time. Then, the person holding the infrared thermometer stepped forward, measured the temperature of the sampling pit, and informed the person who recorded it.

Finally, after the key information is written, it is attached to the sampling tube, and finally the whole is put into the pocket.

After doing this, they demarcated the scope, counted the number and types of sprouting vegetation, took relevant photos, and took samples. Everything was done meticulously.

The middle-aged man looked around carefully and wrote something on the notepad from time to time.

In fact, it was indeed the Jiangcheng Forestry Department who first noticed this.

After all, this abnormal phenomenon is so obvious that even the small cold has not arrived in late December and early January, not to mention the big cold on January 20, and the beginning of spring is on February 3. As a result, the vegetation around Jinyun Mountain collectively sprouts and blooms.

If they have the relevant knowledge, if they can't even find this, they will be really blind.

However, after the forestry bureau conducted an investigation, it did not find the reason, so it reported the matter to the superior.

And now the official Yan Kingdom is sensitive, coupled with the mentality of "try it, it's not bad", this matter was handed over to the Anomaly Investigation Bureau, and there is now this investigation team.

After tossing for about ten minutes, the group of talents continued to move forward.

"Captain, have you found a similar situation before?" Someone asked curiously while walking on the road.

The middle-aged man, the leader of the investigation team, nodded when he heard the words: "There is a poem called 'April in the world is exhausted, and peach blossoms in mountain temples begin to bloom'. This affects the regularity of plant withering."

"About seven or eight years ago, I encountered an out-of-season condition of vegetation. After investigation, I found that it was caused by geological movement, which caused the upwelling of geothermal energy and changed the local temperature."

"But this time, based on the current measurement results, the light, temperature and humidity in the vicinity of Jinyun Mountain, including Beibei District and Shanbi District, are exactly the same as those in the surrounding areas, but only this side has abnormal phenomena."

The team leader looked solemn: "These three most likely factors have been ruled out. It is difficult for me to imagine any other factors that can cause such a wide range of vegetation to be out of season."

"It's hard to do."

"However, if it is easy to find out, this matter will not be handed over to us from the Forestry Bureau. I hope that the final reason can be explained by current scientific theories."

The people present immediately looked solemn. They were all members of the Investigation Bureau. Of course, they knew what the last sentence added by the team leader meant.

If it cannot be explained by current scientific theories, it means that this is likely to be another extraordinary event, and the quality of it is unknown and extremely difficult to handle.

"Team leader! Where are you looking!"

Suddenly a young member shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction they pointed, and saw a long black snake, walking among the dead branches and leaves.

Everyone's brows sank immediately.

It was a black-headed snake, a large and widely distributed non-venomous snake, which could be seen in all parts of the Yan Kingdom.

But the key point is that this snake is more sensitive to the humidity of the site and the temperature of the environment than other snakes. It likes warmth and hates cold, and it likes quietness and dislikes chaos. When the outside temperature drops to about 15°C, the snake will instinctively go into the hole and curl up into a group. .

Even in the Southwest, it hibernates for as long as six months. Generally speaking, black-headed snakes don't wake up from hibernation until late April.

But when is it now?

January 2nd. The highest temperature for the whole day was only 10 degrees Celsius.

Everyone was aware of the problem, but the team leader didn't speak, and no one said anything.

While taking samples, they went inside, and found that the deeper they went, the more serious the phenomenon of vegetation out-of-season, and some trees even had lush foliage, as if the summer was thick.

In addition, a large number of animals are also active, including cold-blooded animals including snakes, and arthropods that have to overwinter.

"Crack!"

The camera shutter sounded.

A ladybug that was supposed to spend the winter in crevices and tree holes was standing on a leaf and pulled the leaf-eating aphids into its mouth.

The team leader looked at the dark sky and the lush surroundings, and said solemnly: "After collecting the samples, go down the mountain. First, use the equipment of the biology laboratory of Sheeran University to do the relevant experiments."

"Team leader, come and see here." Someone shouted.

The middle-aged man hurriedly walked over, only to see a series of trees at the bottom, the bark had been ripped off by some creatures, and there were sharp scratches.

He carefully analyzed and found that the traces were all taken out at one time, but the depth was several centimeters, as if left by some beast, but the height was only forty centimeters.

This made the middle-aged man's heart immediately lift.

Looking around again, I found that many of the tender grasses had been eaten to only the rhizomes, which looked bare.

"This guy seems to eat bark and tender grass." The person who spoke earlier pointed to the bark debris on the ground and said, "As far as I know, there should be no bark eaters who can leave such deep scratches? "

The middle-aged man nodded: "Black bears can leave such deep scratches, but they mainly eat buds, leaves, stems, roots, fruits, and some meat, not bark."

Shaking his head, he said cautiously: "In any case, it is definitely a very lethal beast, and this is its foraging area, we can't stay any longer, hurry up."

So, the group hurriedly packed up their equipment and walked back and forth.

The forest returned to silence, and the sky became darker.

Soon after, a rustling sound came.

Under a certain tall tree, the fallen leaves between the roots were pushed away, a few stones appeared and scattered, and then, a round blue pom-pom with a short tail and stained with soil was squeezed out of its body. cave.

It stood slowly, revealing its white abdomen, several tentacles swaying in the wind, and a pair of claws clinging to its furry belly.

Its height is about 80 centimeters, but it is so fat that it has no neck, and its fur is extremely smooth.

It just grabbed the bark and grabbed a large piece, as easily as pulling a layer of soft cloth.

After chewing it a few times in his mouth, some kind of deep-rooted taste still haunts it, making the bark in his mouth tasteless for a while.

It looked down the mountain, swayed its head from left to right, and finally "¨'Pata" dropped the bark and landed on all fours, but immediately found that its front paws couldn't reach the ground at all due to the support of its round belly.

So, it could only stand up again, quickly move its two short legs, and run down the mountain at a speed beyond its size.

...

In a warm bedroom.

The lamp on the desk glowed a soft white light.

The little girl who said that Oria had a little mouse in her pocket was sitting in front of the desk at this time, her short legs couldn't even reach the ground, dangling in the air.

On the table, the Mizige workbook was opened, and one page was still half empty.

The sound of her parents watching a movie came faintly from the crack of the door. She looked out the window at the city in the night, the pencil in her hand had solidified, and her mind was filled with the sudden blue pom-pom that day.

"Xiao Xi, have you finished your homework?"

The mother's voice came suddenly.

Xiaoxi was shocked, the pen fell to the ground, and quickly replied, "Mom, I'll finish writing it right away."

At the age of five, she still has a soft milky voice. Although she has not yet reached the age of elementary school, she has already studied the first grade content under the guidance of her parents.

Holding the table with her hands, she pushed herself and the stool back. Xiaoxi jumped off the stool and climbed to the bottom of the table to pick up the pencil, only to find that the tip of the pen had been broken.

As soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy, her heartbeat "thumped" faster, and she hurriedly pulled the table to stabilize herself.

This situation appeared two months ago, and the examination said it was aplastic anemia, but the medicine did not improve much.

When the dizziness gradually subsided, the vision became clear again, and a round figure came into view outside the window.

Xiaoxi's eyes slowly widened, her mouth grinned a little, her face full of joy, she stared blankly for a while, then she suddenly came back to her senses, and quickly opened the drawer and took out the chocolate inside.

Seeing this, the chubby guy outside the window narrowed his pupils, and the whites of his eyes gradually expanded, staring straight at the food in her hand.

Xiaoxi hurriedly tore off the package, then climbed onto the table, opened the glass window, and handed out the chocolate through the window railing: "You must be hungry, here it is."

The round creature was clamped with two sharp claws, threw it into its mouth, chewed, and soon stopped moving, and then the round eyes looked over again.

"It doesn't matter, I still have it, and I will keep it for you."

Xiaoxi took out more chocolates and handed them over, and then stared blankly at this round and cute creature. In the background of the lonely lights in the distance, she somehow came to the window sill on the eighth floor and ate the food she gave. .

What a dream!

The lights turned into twinkling stars in her eyes.

"You're a big chinchilla, right?"
