As time passed, the sun became hotter and hotter, but Chen Jiayi remained exposed to the scorching sun and stood still, as if completely petrified.
It wasn't until Master Wang gave a tentative call that her body suddenly moved, as if she suddenly came to life.
She was stunned for a while, and then turned around quickly. It was a face covered with moss. The five senses on her face were blurred. Only a pair of bright and dark eyes looked at everyone in surprise.
Everyone subconsciously took a step back with a hint of fear on their faces, including her friends who came with her, Deng Chao and Zhong Chuqiang.
Chen Jiayi's bright eyes dimmed instantly, and a trace of inferiority and worry flashed in her heart.
Luo Yuan took in Chen Jiayi's expressions and movements and breathed a sigh of relief. Her reaction was normal, which showed that she had not lost her sanity, which was very different from mutants.
"How do you feel now?"
"My whole body feels warm and comfortable, but I'm just a little thirsty!" Chen Jiayi said quickly when Luo Yuan asked.
In front of Luo Yuan, she didn't dare to lie and said honestly, but she was a little panicked. She had seen Chen Xianfeng's fate. Would it be her turn now? She had already been abandoned once and didn't want to be abandoned again. Abandon it once.
Photosynthesis appears to be possible. Luo Yuan thought to himself, then turned to Master Wang and said, "Go get a glass of water."
Master Wang responded and quickly ran to get water!
He turned around and faced Chen Jiayi again. At her age, she could not hide her emotions. She showed everything on her face. Seeing the worry and fear on her face, he said gently: "Don't be afraid, I just understand." Tell me about your situation."
Seeing that Chen Jiayi's expression softened slightly, Luo Yuan continued to ask: "Can you take these things back?"
"Is it the moss on my body?" She asked in a daze, but she had no taboo at all. When Luo Yuan nodded, she closed her eyes, and soon all the moss was taken back, revealing her light green skin.
Her figure became a little thinner, and it was obvious that the parasite consumed a certain amount of her fat. However, the most concerning thing was her skin. At this time, her skin became extremely smooth, so much so that it was slightly reflective in the sun.
Coupled with the peculiar color, the whole person exuded a mysterious charm, which made Luo Yuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
A flash of surprise flashed through his heart. This was the first time he had seen this phenomenon. After being parasitized by a living creature, he did not die, and a symbiotic phenomenon was formed. Perhaps only plants can be so gentle.
Now it depends on whether it is contagious. He doesn't want to walk around with green skin. Luo Yuan tried a "detection technique", but the detection results were still quite rigid. The information was exactly the same as that of normal women. He could only use indirect methods.
"Okay, you can put the moss out again now." Luo Yuan said.
Chen Jiayi said "Yes" obediently, and soon her body was covered with moss again. She seemed to like this situation very much, and her eyes were a little bright.
"Bring me some moss!" Luo Yuan said.
Chen Jiayi did not refuse, and reluctantly pulled out a cluster. It seemed that she was stimulated. A large piece of moss nearby quickly retracted into her body, and it took a while before it was revealed again.
Luo Yuan was cautious and did not answer, let her put it on the ground, and then used the identification technique:
"Green parasitic moss;"
"Rarity: light blue level;"
"Weight: 3g;"
"Status: Parasitized;"
"Additional abilities: none;"
"Evaluation: This is a rare parasitic organism that can survive alone or achieve perfect symbiosis with certain species of special blood types. It can also slightly improve the main attributes of the host. After parasitism, the green parasitic moss loses the ability to parasitize again. Until the host dies."
When he saw that he no longer had the ability to parasitize, he looked at Chen Jiayi with less guarded eyes.
Seeing that Luo Yuan was about to touch the moss, Huang Jiahui quickly stopped him and said, "Don't touch it."
"It's okay!" Luo Yuan waved his hand. He picked up the moss and rubbed it gently. The moss still maintained considerable vitality. When stimulated, it would immediately curl up into a ball.
"Don't worry, I have some ability to identify the characteristics of living things. After this thing is parasitized, it will not have the ability to parasitize again, and it will not have much impact on her character. Apart from the weird skin color, it is a good thing."
In fact, many people knew that Luo Yuan had this ability, but they had not confirmed it. Now that he said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Among all the people, Chen Jiayi was the most excited. She had been on tenterhooks before, like a prisoner stepping into the trial seat. Now she finally heard the judge pronounce her not guilty. The big stone hanging in her heart also fell. She covered her mouth and cried with joy. !
… …
After her mood stabilized a bit, Luo Yuan then conducted tests on Chen Jiayi's strength, agility and other related tests. Finally, in order to test her self-healing ability, with her consent, Luo Yuan also made a small cut on her forearm.
He found that after being parasitized, her strength and agility were no worse than those of Huang Jiahui. However, considering that she was twelve years old and still far from underage, the improvement was already obvious.
But Luo Yuan was most surprised by her self-healing and skin defense capabilities. When he cut the skin, he could clearly feel the resistance on the knife. He found that under her epidermis, there was a dense layer like a network. Shape of light green filaments, the gaps between the filaments are almost invisible to the naked eye, and are closely connected to the bottom layer of the skin.
Such defensive power is even inferior to him.
What's even more surprising is that after the wound was incised, she didn't bleed much. As soon as the knife was removed, countless filaments in the skin began to squirm and stick together. When he wiped away the blood on his arm half a minute later, he found that Her wound had disappeared, leaving only a shallow trace of blood.
This self-healing ability is almost as good as Lin Xiaoji's. Luo Yuan subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiaoji who was watching and found that his face had turned a little dark.
However, Luo Yuan also knew that this kind of self-healing was an illusion. It was essentially just a forced closure of the wound, which was completely incomparable with true self-healing.
But no matter what, this parasitic effect is extremely powerful, and the most important thing is that the parasitic moss only has a light blue level, which has great potential for improvement. For ordinary people, once parasitized, it can be compared to ordinary evolvers.
Of course, you have to endure the green skin and the strange looks from others.
However, when Luo Yuan proposed that everyone try to parasitize, he thought that few people would accept it. But in fact, it was beyond his expectation. Not to mention the few soldiers who had experienced the cruel battlefield, even Huang Jiahui and Cao Lin were somewhat moved.
He seriously underestimated the desire of ordinary people for power. In this cruel apocalypse, the survival pressure and mental depression of ordinary people was beyond his imagination. In this cruel environment, no one cares about the color of their skin. As long as such a small branch is strong, even if it turns into a monster, as long as it does not lose its rationality, there are probably many people out there.
But what is disappointing is that parasitism is not that easy. Even if some people cut their own wounds and stuff parasitic moss into the wounds, it is useless, and they will soon run away in disgust.
Judging from the identification technique, this seems to require a certain rare blood type.
… …
Yesterday's storm did not affect the temperature change. At noon, the temperature was still above 50 degrees. The forest, which had been moistened by water all night, looked a little green. Under the high temperature, intense transpiration occurred. The sky above the forest sea The air is extremely distorted, making people feel like they are in an illusion.
However, Chen Jiayi was very happy with such high temperature. She sat directly under the scorching sun without moving at all. From the time she sat for the test at 9 am to now, except for drinking a few times when she was thirsty, she didn't even eat lunch.
Perhaps it was a side effect of the parasitic moss that gave her the illusion that she was a plant. She could easily sit there for hours unless someone woke her up.
Under such high temperatures, the firewood would have dried out before noon. All the dry firewood was moved into the grotto and piled up on a hill. Luo Yuan took out a lighter and lit the fluffy hay used to start the fire.
The fire soon started raging, and the flames jumped directly to the top of the grotto, and there were even flames coming out of the door.
The moss affected by the flames was burned to death instantly.
The moss on the edge sensed the danger, and quickly compressed into a thin layer, clinging to the ground, squirming towards the shady corners like running water, as if wanting to escape the high temperature here.
But their moving speed was obviously too slow. After a while, the surface dried up and turned yellow, completely losing its vitality!
During this process, Chen Jiayi remained motionless and showed no reaction.
