Chapter 33: Mutant plants

Views:

After sweeping away the supernatural zombies in the urban area adjacent to the fifth stop, Hou Ying and the others divided into two teams according to the map instructions after collecting the supplies from the three large supermarkets. One team went to the grocery market, and the other team went to the flower and bird market.

The purpose of their trip is very clear, that is, to go for vegetable seeds and fertilizers.

A team of Hou Ying, Li Xuanyuan, and Wang Hehe drove the first heavy truck (one truck) to the small flower and bird market, and the others formed a team and divided into two groups. Before the car drove into the flower and bird market, they vaguely saw a vibrant greenery in front of them. Hou Ying was a little surprised: "Isn't the market a 50-meter street? How come there are so many flowers and plants?" Waiting for them to turn from the main street When they entered the flower and bird market, they were shocked by what they saw.

Like a large flower house, the whole street is covered with green vines with intertwined branches and leaves, flowers are covered with grass and vines, and the colorful dots are dotted in the fresh green fields like a fairyland on earth.

The three of them were distracted for a while, but soon they realized a weird and serious problem!

Here, there is not a single zombie.

Li Xuanyuan frowned and said: "There is something weird here, do we still have to go in?"

Hou Ying didn't wait to answer his words, she looked at Wang Hehe first. The latter froze for a moment before realizing that the old uncle was confirming with himself whether the trip was dangerous. Wang Hehe said without confidence: "I don't feel the same as the second uncle last time. I didn't seem to be dreaming last night... It should be okay, right?"

Hou Ying breathed a sigh of relief. If this trip was in danger of life like Qiao Daye encountered last time, Wang Hehe's ability should be a warning.

Since there is no such thing, it must be safe at best, so he nodded and said: "I want to confirm the reason why there are no zombies here. If there is really something that can expel zombies here, it will be very helpful to us."

Li Xuanyuan immediately thought of this benefit, the two of them made up their minds, left Wang Hehe in the driver's cab, ordered him not to get out of the car, and then went down to find out.

As soon as you get off the car, the fresh aroma of plants and trees comes to your nostrils, refreshing and refreshing. The cool breath makes you feel refreshed in this hot weather, just like walking into a natural oxygen bar. Hou Ying took a closer look and found that although the green plants covered the entire street, they were actually three kinds of plants, ivy, ivy and dill. The flowers above, in addition to the flowers and fruits of creepers and ivy, are covered with some herbaceous flowers that extend from them.

Hou Ying turned her head and asked Li Xuanyuan: "Do you have any special feelings?"

Li Xuanyuan shook his head, "It's a bit strange, it's hard to say."

When he first aroused the wood-type power, the weapon he used was an unnamed plant on the urban green belt, and it has not been the same as it was before the end of the world. At that time, he had no special feelings about this plant, but it was easy to use. When he got here, he could obviously feel its excitement, and also felt that the environment made him very comfortable, but no matter how much it was, it was gone.

Hou Ying thought for a while, and asked Li Xuanyuan to wrap the two of them in vines, which would always avoid some dangers. Wang Hehe lay on the car window watching the two hulks walking into a piece of green, and soon disappeared, so he couldn't help curling his lips, but he could only wait for them to come out honestly.

After walking in, Hou Ying could see more clearly.

Most of the streets are lined with flower plants, ornamental fish and bird shops, but fish tanks and bird cages can be seen vaguely, but no sound can be heard. Hou Ying thought, it should be due to the lack of oxygen in the water tank after the power outage, and the ornamental fish were all dead, and the birds took the opportunity to fly away. Although he raised his vigilance, he still went deep. The storefronts are covered with creepers and green radishes. The potted plants in the stores are much taller than before the end of the world. The flowerpots are squeezed by their roots and penetrated deep into the concrete floor or tiled floor.

And the species are very single, most of the ornamental indoor plants have withered and died, and the rest are cactus, aloe, spider plants and other plants with strong vitality.

He gave a strange surprise, "These creepers look like there is only one plant."

Plants were crawling all over the street, and if there was really only one creeper that extended so far, they must be more vigilant—these plants looked so different from those before the end of the world, and it was hard to guarantee that they would become very aggressive. He looked left and right, and said to Li Xuanyuan who was silent at the side: "Can you subdue them?"

They came to the flower and bird market on this trip. Apart from collecting cultivation soil, fertilizer and seeds, they also wanted to try their luck to see if there was anything Li Xuanyuan could use. Although his ability has reached the middle stage of the third level, he still can only spawn vines, and his attack method is relatively simple.

Li Xuanyuan wasn't sure, but his eyes showed confidence, he said, "I'll give it a try."

He chose a tall and straight keel that was as high as a house. The thorns on the three stems and the Yulin-like leaves were extremely sharp. If he could subdue it, the lethality would at least double that of the current vines.

Unexpectedly, his hand just touched the keel, and suddenly, the originally "quiet" green plants seemed to come to life, the scale-like leaves brushed open, and the fleshy thorns flew from the succulent plants with a "shudder" Come out and attack them!

Ding ding ding, the thorn that hit the vine fell to the ground after the impact, and was "sucked" back by the keel plant again, growing back onto his stalk.

The keel returned to calm, standing there quietly as if nothing had happened, but when Li Xuanyuan put his hands on his plant again, the keel trembled slightly, as if he was very afraid of Li Xuanyuan. Its anthropomorphic posture made Hou Ying very surprised, and Li Xuanyuan rarely showed his love, curling his lips and sighing with a smile: "It's really interesting."

Seeing that he liked it, Hou Ying urged him to take the keel for her own use.

Li Xuanyuan released the wood-type supernatural power, and a small soft and tender green vine bud gently stroked the sharp barbs and lin leaves of the keel with the movement of his fingers. The keel seemed to be ticklish, shaking even more violently. Li Xuanyuan laughed softly: "Do you want to come with me?"

It seems that this plant can understand his words.

Hou Ying looked at Li Xuanyuan in a daze, even though the vines covered his face so that he couldn't see the other person's expression, but the dazzling light in his crooked eyes made Hou Ying so fascinated that he couldn't bear to look away. He wanted to laugh at Li Xuanyuan's childishness, like an ordinary friend, so that the sensitive Li Xuanyuan would not notice his gaffe just now, but he didn't expect that the next moment, the green vine buds attached to Li Xuanyuan's fingers suddenly swelled and proliferated, with one breath The whole keel will be completely wrapped in less time! The meaning of Li Xuanyuan's threat is very obvious, extremely domineering!

Hou Ying felt her heart beating faster, and the gaze that she ordered herself to retract just once again stuck to Li Xuanyuan.

Li Xuanyuan clenched his fingers slightly, and saw the blue vines tightening, and the keel that had been submissive suddenly shot out scales and barbs all over his body, but it soon discovered that it couldn't break through the vines' encirclement at all. And this action seemed to anger Li Xuanyuan, the vine tightened more and more, as if trying to strangle it alive. Li Xuanyuan asked it gently again: "Do you want to come with me?"

Hou Ying: "..."

He quickly shut up, almost blurted out the word "want" just now!

Li Xuanyuan's threat to the keel obviously had an effect, the keel shook again and again, and soon, the vine touched a crystal clear green "seed" the size of a fingernail that was scattered from its plant. Li Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, spread out the vines, and put the "seed" in his palm, and the "seed" was very close to him, and soon disappeared into his palm.

Hou Ying, who was tense, relaxed. Just when Li Xuanyuan's vines surrounding the keel spread out, revealing the crystal green seed, he felt the plant's aura surged instantly, and the nearby creeper ivy stalked towards them. Pounce over!

But after the seeds disappeared in Li Xuanyuan's palm, the place immediately returned to calm.

The ivy and the ivy, just like the keel that pretended to be innocent after being attacked just now, quietly retracted their vines and returned to their original state.

Hou Ying clicked his tongue in amazement, looked at the keel that seemed to have become weak after the sharp rays of light on the barbs and scales disappeared, and hurriedly asked: "Xuanyuan, what happened just now, how are you? Is there anything wrong?"

Hou Ying once again dispersed the vines on his right hand to reveal his palm. He stared at his palm for a while and felt it with his heart. Hou Ying saw his slender fingers moving, and suddenly a thin needle-shaped keel grew from his fingertips, slowly winding around Hou Ying's fingers like a dragon. Li Xuanyuan glanced at a wall, and it suddenly shot towards the place where its owner was looking. Even though the street was shaded by greenery, Hou Ying could still see clearly that the keel was like a tree. Moving forward like a spiral, it suddenly swelled a circle, shooting out barbs and scales.

In the next moment, the green plants on that wall spread out like an ebbing tide, revealing the original appearance of the wall!

Hou Ying was tongue-tied, and said after a while: "Sure enough..."

Hou Ying realized belatedly that Li Xuanyuan chose this keel not because it was tall and burly, but because he felt the pull of the herbal power. Hou Ying asked about the crystal "seed" in detail, and learned that it was the essence of this mutated keel plant, and about every mutated plant had this kind of thing.

He asked Li Xuanyuan to give this precious seed a name, and they should pay attention to places with rich vegetation in the future.

According to Gongsun Jing's naming habits, Li Xuanyuan, who had no idea, called it Mu Jing, which means a mutated plant crystal core similar to a zombie crystal core. Hou Ying twitched the corners of her mouth, agreeing against her will.

The two immediately shifted their target and found the root system of the ivy and ivy that had been deceiving them just now. With such "human" plants, they couldn't believe that they didn't have condensed wood crystals! After Li Xuanyuan harvested the wood crystals of creepers and ivy, half of the dense green shade dispersed, leaving only the green radish still growing densely on the street.

With a thought, they searched for the root system of the green radish, but to their surprise, the green radish did not condense wood crystals.

Hou Ying thought for a while, and asked Li Xuanyuan to take this green radish away for a while and bring it back to hydroponics. Maybe in the future, Mujing can be grown

The two who had gained a lot were in a good mood, and when they went to the store to search for supplies, their hands and feet were a little lighter than usual. When he received the third bonsai shop, Li Xuanyuan noticed a very luxuriant spider plant in the shop, and was about to take a shot to test whether there was a wood crystal, when he suddenly heard a bang—

He turned his head abruptly, only to see Hou Ying fainted on the ground behind him.
