Once inside the domed facility, they are greeted by a cool, fresh atmosphere and lush vegetation.

This environment is rare now, and Roland and his team almost never experience such a setting.

As they traverse the forest, they encounter various strange plants and fruits.

One of the scientists from the Assault team, Dr. Maria Evans, wearing her multi-vision goggles, identifies the flora:

Dr. Maria Evans: "A very unique blend." She shares this information on the display monitors attached to her arm.

Val reads it and comments: "It must taste quite strange."

Dr. Sophia Carter from Val's team: "Unappetizing, isn't it, Ma'am?" Val gives a thin smile.

The journey continues, with the team spreading out but eventually regrouping.

No animal organisms have been discovered yet, although the possibility remains, as there are signs of creatures like rodents, monkeys, and others.

So far, the identified vegetation in the forest includes:

Fruitan: An apple-like fruit with a sharp orange taste, a mix of red and orange in color.

Berrymelon: A melon-shaped fruit with the texture and sweet taste of a strawberry, red with green specks.

Grapple: Small grape-like fruits with a fresh, sweet apple flavor, dark purple skin.

Caron: Carrots resembling corn, with an orange layer and corn-like crunchiness.

Lettucucumber: Lettuce leaves with a cucumber-like fresh taste, crunchy texture, and cucumber aroma.

Tomatito: Tomato-like fruit with a cabbage-like layer, providing an intense tomato flavor with a hint of cabbage.

Fernleaf: A tree with branches bearing fern-like leaves, offering a lush, layered appearance.

Palm Maple: A tall tree resembling a coconut palm but with colorful maple-shaped leaves.

Gingerwood: A tree with a ginger-scented bark and leaves that emit a distinct ginger aroma when rubbed.

They finally arrive at the edge of a river, but something is "unusual".
