Ming Li’s eyes fluttered open, and the first sensation was that her entire body was drenched.
Glancing around the forest, Ming Li frowned. The next second, with a thought, her still-dripping clothes instantly dried.
"Host, are you ready to receive the plot now?"
In the space, the system's tentative voice sounded.
Hearing the system, Ming Li raised an eyebrow, scanned her surroundings, and nodded.
Seeing this, the system quickly transmitted the original host’s plot for this world to Ming Li.
"Host, you are currently in a primeval forest."
Before transmitting the plot, the system couldn't help but remind her.
"I know."
Hearing her host's reply, the system breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent over the original host’s plot.
The original host, Qiao Li.
She was a national researcher, primarily studying extinct flora and fauna.
This time, their research center heard that a plant that had been extinct for a long time had appeared in a primeval forest. If it could be found, it would bring significant progress to the entire biological community. Therefore, the original host, along with seven other colleagues from the research center, came to this primeval forest.
Then, the weird things happened.
On the second day of their arrival in the primeval forest, the original host and another colleague got separated from the rest of their group.
As the two of them were about to search for the main group, the original host accidentally fell into a cave and hit her head. The other colleague, seeing her fall into the cave, went to find something to rescue the original host. However, the original host waited in the cave for a long time, but the colleague did not return.
Later, the original host managed to climb out of the cave and stumbled through the primeval forest alone for a long time. By chance, she very luckily found the plant they were looking for. After walking in the forest for a while longer, the original host encountered the corpses of her other colleagues.
Even the body of the girl who was with her earlier was among them.
The original host was completely bewildered. Just as she was about to check the wounds of those people, someone suddenly stabbed her in the back several times, and then the original host died.
After receiving the original host’s plot, Ming Li was speechless.
The system was silent for a moment and then said, "Host, there are three tasks in this world.
Find the murderer; protect the plant; and protect your colleagues."
After hearing the system’s words, Ming Li frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she heard footsteps behind her.
Turning her head, she saw several people walking towards her.
One of them saw her and waved at her, "Sister Li, we're back!"
Ming Li nodded and remained silent.
The time she had transmigrated to was the first day they had arrived in the forest.
At this moment, those people had already reached Ming Li.
In the group of eight, only Ming Li and the girl who had just spoken were female.
Through the original plot, Ming Li knew the girl's name, Kang Yue.
Of the other six, one was an old professor, surnamed Qiu, whom everyone called Professor Qiu.
The other five men were named Tao Tao, Song Fengyun, Tang Lie, Shen Ge, and Xiang Xinhan respectively.
Ming Li swept her gaze over them, her expression unchanged.
From the original plot, the murderer who killed the original host and the others might be among these people.
"Eh?" Suddenly, Kang Yue, who had walked up to Ming Li, said with a puzzled expression, "Sister Li, why is your clothes dry? Did you change?"
Without waiting for Ming Li to speak, Kang Yue continued, "The dew in this forest is so heavy. Luckily, it's summer, otherwise, it would be too easy to get sick."
Ming Li nodded and said nothing.
At this time, Tao Tao, who was standing nearby, looked up at the darkening sky and suggested, "It's getting dark. Let's quickly find a place to spend the night. This is a primeval forest, and we don't know what dangers are lurking."
Hearing his words, the group nodded in agreement.
The group continued to walk forward, and after a short while, they found a clearing suitable for setting up tents.
