Even so, Chu Jiangyue still wanted to give it a try. After all, sending a message didn’t cost her anything.
Someone in the group quickly responded. Ling Feng’s team was still at the Jianglin Hotel, so it would take them at least an hour to get there.
Song Chengjun’s team, on the other hand, was in the opposite direction from the Panda Base.
Both the heroine Jin Chuyu and Shen Zhigui’s teams were not far from the Panda Base.
However, Jin Chuyu and her team had encountered a pack of mutant wolves and couldn’t reach there in the shortest time.
Finally, only Shen Zhigui’s team of five replied that they could come right away. Chu Jiangyue immediately sent Shen Zhigui a location to make it easier for them to navigate directly over.
Having a system is truly advantageous. Even if there’s no signal worldwide, the system’s signal remains steady.
Shen Zhigui quickly replied that he received it and was rushing over at the fastest speed.
After replying to Shen Zhigui, Chu Jiangyue closed the virtual screen and then looked at the vine guarding the Panda Base.
"I just want to go in and have a look. I promise not to harm a single plant. Can’t you cut me some slack? After all the superpower energy you consumed from me, can’t you at least grant me this small favor? You’re burning bridges here!"
Chu Jiangyue started her persistent persuasion, but the vine remained completely still.
It’s unclear whether it didn’t understand what she was saying or if it was genuinely unaffected.
"Host, why do I feel like it’s protecting something?"
Earlier, the vine had brandished its claws at Chu Jiangyue, but in the end, it retreated without pursuing her further.
Shen Zhigui and his team arrived quickly, and upon seeing Chu Jiangyue, they immediately checked to ensure she was uninjured.
"Are you okay?"
Shen Zhigui looked Chu Jiangyue over from head to toe, noticing nothing amiss, and only then did he feel relieved.
Seeing the support request Chu Jiangyue had sent in the group, he thought she might be in danger, but now that she was okay, he felt reassured.
"I’m fine. I need to get into the Panda Base, but a vine has blocked my way. I asked you here to see if we could break through together."
She was determined to enter the Panda Base, even if it meant forcing her way in.
She didn’t know the situation with the pandas inside, but the system had issued a random task, and of course, Chu Jiangyue wanted to complete it.
Seeing the vines coiling outside the Panda Base, Shen Zhigui and the others understood why Chu Jiangyue was seeking support.
Such a large vine was certainly one of the best among mutant plants. Even the Little Vine that followed Chu Jiangyue every day wasn’t as thick as this one.
"Alright!"
Since Chu Jiangyue was determined to achieve this, Shen Zhigui naturally wouldn’t refuse.
"Thank you. In a few days, the mango trees will ripen, and I can set some aside for you."
It wasn’t reasonable to seek help without offering something in return, and mangoes were the best thing Chu Jiangyue could currently think of to offer them.
"Alright."
Although Shen Zhigui didn’t come for Chu Jiangyue’s gratitude, bringing benefits to his team wasn’t something he would foolishly reject.
Even if he didn’t need it, others might.
Chu Jiangyue and the team of five regrouped and advanced toward the entrance of the Panda Base.
As they approached, the previously still vine suddenly came to life.
Chu Jiangyue didn’t attack immediately but spoke resolutely: "This is the Panda Base, and the pandas inside are in danger. I came here today to rescue them.
If you’re still going to block me, then I’ll have no choice but to force my way in.
If you’re accidentally hurt in the process, don’t blame me for not giving you a heads-up."
Chu Jiangyue could tell that this vine hadn’t harmed humans before, or it wouldn’t be so docile now.
If possible, she still didn’t want to confront it head-on.
