"What's wrong with her?" Ignoring the boy's ridicule, Lu Yao took the initiative to ask.
Xue Ge was stunned for a moment, then he remembered his companion who was still in a coma, and helped the weak Zhong Ruying up, saying in a cold and hard voice: "We are at the blind box store, get up quickly!"
Zhong Ruying's face was pale and his eyelids were twitching, but he didn't wake up for a long time.
Xue Ge was at a loss, Ling Lan said that if they found the blind box shop, they could save Zhong Ruying.
Even though she had reached the store door, her condition hadn't changed at all, and she still looked like she was dying.
"Hey, get up quickly! If you don't get up, I'm going to bite you." Xue Ge said as he opened his mouth, revealing his fine and neat serrated teeth.
Ji Feiming was sitting at the door not far from Lu Yao. At first he thought a guest had come, but when he saw Xue Ge's teeth showing after he opened his mouth, his scalp tingled slightly.
As a former messenger of God, before his death, he often dealt with strange things.
But the weird things in their world are more subtle, not this rough and direct type.
The first time I saw it, I felt the absurdity of a hardcore thriller shining into reality.
The shop owner was sitting outside the door, less than two meters away from the monster, and he didn't look panicked at all.
Thinking of the clerks in the two shops next door, Ji Feiming couldn't help but mischievously think that the owner might have gotten used to it, and maybe she was even planning to hire this monster as a clerk.
This flower has very neat teeth.
Lu Yao watched from the side for a while, during which time he caught three more mutant fish.
Seeing the young man leaning down, ready to bite, she whispered, "Is there a possibility that she fainted and couldn't hear you?"
Xue Ge tilted her head to look at Lu Yao, put away her bewilderment, and said calmly: "Zhong Ruying can't hear it, Linglan is still here, and she will respond to me."
Lu Yao: "… What do you mean, what is the relationship between Zhong Ruying and Ling Lan?"
"Zhong Ruying is the gardener, and Linglan is her companion." Xue Ge still put away his teeth and went to push the unconscious woman again.
I don't know whether he did it on purpose or didn't know how to control the strength, but with a "bang", Zhong Ruying was thrown sideways and his head hit the rattan-woven board, leaving a small red swelling on his forehead.
Lu Yao: "...You mean they are both in this body?"
Xue Ge nodded, not knowing what to do, and prepared to continue using physical means to wake up his companion.
Lu Yao looked a little scary, called him and pointed at the recruitment notice on the door: "Can you see the paper posted here?"
Ji Feiming looked up when he heard that. There was clearly nothing posted where the shop owner was pointing.
Xue Ge nodded: "It says they are recruiting shop assistants."
Do mutant animals and plants also go to school
He can actually read.
Lu Yao restrained his expression, "Is she injured or sick? The blind box store has blind boxes of medicines. If you need them, you can redeem them yourself."
Xue Ge's eyes lit up, he stood up, jumped off the boat, and quickly walked into the blind box shop.
Ji Feiming closed the book, stood up calmly, and prepared to provide guidance to the guests.
Xue Ge stood in front of the blind box coin exchange machine with a complicated expression.
Humans killed them and used their hearts as currency to exchange items.
These humans are just as cruel and bloodthirsty as the animals and they enjoy killing.
A small boat without anyone to control it will drift away with the flood.
Lu Yao put away his fishing rod and reached out to grab the edge of the boat.
The woman lying in the boat looked human, without the boy's unique, plant-like fragility.
Lu Yao noticed that she had a lily of the valley bracelet on her wrist, with green branches and white flowers, fresh and new.
The bracelet was beautiful, and Lu Yao reached out tentatively to touch it.
The white bud seemed to have its own consciousness and suddenly stood up, revealing the tiny teeth hidden under the bell-shaped bud.
A bunch of small white flower buds all turned their "faces" upside down, their little mouths opening and closing, biting the air with a crunching sound.
Only then did Lu Yao notice that the lily of the valley branch was not worn on the woman's hand, but a green branch grew out of her skin and formed a circle around her wrist.
Lu Yao felt a slight chill down his spine. This was a bit abnormal.
"She was parasitized by a mutant plant?" Lu Yao said to himself.
Xue Ge came out of the store. Upon hearing this, her brows knitted into knots and her face was unhappy. "No. Beasts attacked the base, and Zhong Ruying was stabbed in the chest. She is dying. Ling Lan wanted to save her and live with her temporarily."
He and Linglan were raised in the base since they were young, and Zhong Ruying was the person responsible for feeding and taking care of them.
Everyone else died when the beasts attacked the base.
Zhong Ruying was also fatally injured and would die soon if left alone.
Lily of the Valley merged with Zhong Ruying, so she did not die on the spot. The man and the flower became a symbiotic organism.
Maybe Zhong Ruying's body was too weak. After Linglan merged with her, she threw a box to Xue Ge, asking him to find the blind box shop, and then fell asleep.
Occasionally when she wakes up, Lily of the Valley will extend her true form from Zhong Ruying's body.
So that's how it is. Lu Yao looked up and saw Xue Ge had nothing in her hands. "Didn't you redeem the blind box? Not enough crystal cores?"
Xue Ge shook her head and saw the lily of the valley branch wrapped around Zhong Ruying's wrist. She squatted down with joy and stretched out her fingers to carefully stroke the small flower bud that was still biting the air.
"Linglan, you finally woke up. I found the blind box store, but I still don't know how to separate you and Zhong Ruying."
Lu Yao was a little surprised: "You want to separate them?"
Xue Ge nodded as a matter of course: "The human body is too fragile. If she completely merges with Zhong Ruying, Ling Lan will also become very weak."
The lily of the valley bud opened and closed its little mouth, and Xue Ge was stunned.
After a while, he looked up at Lu Yao in surprise, "Linglan asked if the blind box shop had instant noodles, fruits, and sweet and fragrant water."
Lu Yao didn't understand what he meant by asking this question, but nodded: "Indeed."
Xue Ge lowered her head and talked to Ling Lan for a while, then looked at Lu Yao again: "Ling Lan said she wanted to live here."
Lu Yao blinked, "I want to ask why?"
Xue Ge also couldn't understand Linglan's thoughts.
She was too young, and was still in flower branch form, so she acted mostly on instinct.
He was surprised for a long time when she was willing to live with Zhong Ruying.
"She seems to like it here very much." Xue Ge had to say this.
Lu Yao reached out his hand again, trying to touch the lily of the valley bracelet on Zhong Ruying's wrist.
The little flower bud retracted its teeth, swayed left and right, and gently rubbed her fingertips.
This little flower also knows how to act coquettishly.
Lu Yao was a little surprised. After rubbing the buds of the lily of the valley enough to satisfy his curiosity, he stood up and looked at Xue Ge. "If you want to stay in the blind box store, there is only one way, to become a clerk."
Xue Ge frowned, very hesitant.
The base was gone, and he had just gained his freedom, and he didn’t want to fall into human hands again so soon.
Moreover, this shop makes a living by collecting their and other animals' hearts, and he is extremely reluctant to become a part of it.
The little lily of the valley shook its buds and leaves, and stretched out its branches from Zhong Ruying's body, trying to wrap around Lu Yao's wrist.
“Don’t bite!” Lu Yao picked up the tip of the lily of the valley with both hands, looked away, looked at Xue Ge, and continued: “If I become a blind box store clerk, I can find a way to separate Lily of the Valley and Zhong Ruying, and I can also provide the instant noodles, fruits, and sweet and fragrant water that Lily of the Valley wants.”
When Lily of the Valley heard the following words, it immediately twisted its slender branches and turned around to entangle Xue Ge.
Xue Ge looked at Linglan who had suddenly become attentive, puzzled: "Do you really want to stay here? This shop specializes in collecting our hearts and those of animals. Aren't you afraid?"
Linglan and Xuege talked for a while, and Xuege looked up at Lu Yao helplessly, "We are willing to be shop assistants. The condition is to separate Linglan and Zhong Ruying first, she doesn't want to coexist with Zhong Ruying anymore."
Lu Yao thought they would hesitate for a long time, but he didn't expect that the decision was made right away.
If two little alien plants are willing to be shop assistants, then things will be easy to negotiate.
Lu Yao asked Xue Ge to carry Zhong Ruying into the store, and asked Ji Feiming to contact a surgeon who was willing to see the patient.
She went back to the nail salon to find a way to separate the plant and the human body.
Meruru and Pushu are fairies who are more familiar with plants and herbs than other alien races, and they are also light magicians.
When I heard that a lily of the valley fairy (a fairy's understanding) had coexisted with humans, my face turned green.
They immediately told Lu Yao a mysterious magic that only fairies knew, which could separate fused alien bodies.
There are many races in the magical world, each with its own strengths, and this kind of interracial fusion and symbiosis occasionally occurs.
The continent of Alexandria is a high-magic world, where learning and studying magic is relatively easy.
Magic can be used in the Impermanent World, but it is a low magic world.
Lu Yao was worried that there might be problems in the separation process, so he secretly practiced repeatedly in the laboratory.
Zhong Ruying was sleeping in a makeshift hospital bed nearby, still in a coma.
There was a small low table next to the bed, with fresh fruits, instant noodles and drinks on it.
The little lily of the valley stretched out its branches from Zhong Ruying's wrist and lay on the head of the bed, chewing on it left and right, enjoying the meal very much.
Xue Ge was accompanying him, biting an apple in his hand, the crisp and sweet juice flowing down his throat. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why Linglan wanted to stay here.
The doctor that Ji Feiming made an appointment with was named Bai. He was on a business trip and promised to come in two days.
Lu Yao continued to practice magic.

The flood season in the world of impermanence is still continuing. It rained heavily overnight, but the water level did not drop, but continued to rise.
The next morning, Jiang Han and Chi Jin rowed a simple raft made of driftwood to the blind box shop.
Jiang Han went to the laboratory to see his grandfather first. Old Jiang and Luo Huian were busy with research and didn't know that the flood season was coming.
When I came out to take a look, I realized that the flood had already reached the front of the store.
Jiang Han said that it had been raining before the unforeseen disaster struck this time, and everyone had experience and guessed that the next time there might be a flood, so they dug canals in advance. Residents living on the first and second floors of the base dormitory moved out in advance, and there were no casualties for the time being.
People have become accustomed to living frugally. During the cold wave, they exchanged a large amount of supplies at blind box stores, but instead of squandering them all, most people chose to hoard them at home.
When faced with this unusual situation where the interval between two anomalies was shortened and there was almost no transition period, it was rare that people did not panic.
If there is food in the house, people will not panic.
However, some people also want to come to the blind box store during this period.
Unfortunately, the water level continued to rise, and there were many mutated creatures in the mud and water. Ordinary people did not have the equipment and did not dare to go out easily.
Jiang Han came to the blind box store, first to see his grandfather, and second to see if there were any new products in the store.
He walked around the store and found that the crystal core blind box was really new.
The winter limited series has been taken off the shelves and the new "Water Limited Series" has been launched.
The whole set only has five styles, four regular styles and one hidden style.
A complete set contains four boxes, each costing two hundred yuan.
There are only twenty sets of this series in the entire store, and they are available for a limited time.
It is specially marked in red on the box that it is best to open the box outdoors.
Jiang Han took a box directly and tried hard to persuade Chi Jin to take a box as well.
The two of them sat outside the blind box store unpacking boxes, and Jiang Han became excited when he saw the style pictures printed on the outer box.
No wonder it’s so expensive and requires unpacking outdoors.
It would be worth it if I could get the hidden item in this box.
Even if the hidden object wasn't revealed, Jiang Han still felt it was worth it to get the rubber boat.
He tore open the first box and took out the life buoy.
Five large inflated lifebuoys in a box.
What’s amazing is that when the lifebuoy was first taken out, it was the same size as an ordinary crystal core blind box.
When exposed to air, they begin to expand and eventually become the size of a normal lifebuoy.
"Is this magic? Or has the owner developed crystal core energy and applied technology to shrink and enlarge objects?"
Jiang Han murmured, at least the supernatural power could not reach this level.
He was right. Lu Yao tried to use magic circles to shrink the items, make them lighter, and then package them into blind boxes.
This method is useful, but it is very troublesome. For each item, you have to draw a magic circle and weave the order of the formation.
This method can be used occasionally for limited-edition styles, but it is not necessary for daily blind boxes sold in large quantities.
Chi Jin next to him opened the first box and a black card fell out.
Jiang Han saw this familiar scene, and a feeling of joy and reluctance surged up, "Brother Chi, don't you draw the hidden one again?"
Chi Jin held the card between two fingers, and the word "Hidden" on the back was shining with gold.
This again.
Chi Jin was annoyed and felt increasingly depressed.
His good luck has not ended yet, and there is no telling how terrible it will be when it backfires.
"I knew it, it's hidden again!" Jiang Han screamed, more frustrated than himself, and came close to Chi Jin and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chi, did you really not use your supernatural power to check the blind box?"
He didn't know the specific form of Chi Jin's supernatural powers, but he knew that he was very powerful.
In terms of fighting strength alone, no one in Changming Base can compare with Chi Jin.
But he always stayed in the garden and was lazy, so others just thought he was a gardener and paid little attention to him.
Chi Jin glanced at him and said nothing.
Jiang Han was truly jealous.
Why can this person keep driving until he is hidden
The two of them each opened a whole box, and Jiang Han took out five lifebuoys, five life jackets, a dryer powered by crystal core energy, and a rubber boat.
No surprises, no hiding.
Chi Jin drove out a hidden speedboat, a regular rubber boat, a life jacket and a dryer.
The speedboat has a power system, which is very convenient for going out hunting, collecting supplies, or for water rescue.
It’s just that driving a speedboat is a little more difficult than a rubber boat.
Kayaks and zodiac boats are large and heavy.
Use magic circles to shrink and lighten them, and large quantities cannot be controlled within the load-bearing range of the glass shelves.
Both styles require you to take the card to Lu Yao to redeem.
Jiang Han's was a white card, while Chi Jin handed over two exchange cards, one black and one white.
Lu Yao couldn't help but look sideways when he took the hidden black card. This guy is really lucky because he can hide the card every time.
The rubber boat and speedboat were in the warehouse. Lu Yao borrowed Jiang Han's driftwood raft, rowed to the warehouse, and drove out the speedboat.
The two kayaks were tied to the back of the speedboat with ropes and pulled out together.
Driving a speedboat requires learning, but Chi Jin is still a mechanical idiot and can't learn it.
Jiang Han learned it in two hours.
When he left, he drove Chi Jin's speedboat so hard that his teeth were almost broken behind his ears.
Brother Chi only has good luck but doesn’t know how to use machines.
I'm afraid this speedboat will become a public property of the base just like the snowmobiles.
Shortly after the two left, people came to the blind box store one after another through various means to buy the water limited series blind boxes.
There were twenty limited edition blind boxes, but only seven were left by the afternoon.
-
West Forest.
Yao Yiyi, Wei Quan and Li Xin were running wildly in the mud.
They failed to return to the base and met a group of mutant beasts heading east on the way.
Two companions were killed, and the three of them escaped with great difficulty, deeply regretting not listening to Xue Ge's reminder.
The west has been occupied by mutant beasts, all bases have been razed to the ground, leaving no one alive.
The mutated beasts in the south and north also inexplicably gathered to the west.
After they joined together, they began to move eastward together.
Yao Yiyi wiped her face, and her vision became a little clearer.
Her target is the blind box store, where people from various bases gather, and she wants to tell them to prepare to escape.
A beast king appeared among the mutant beasts, and that being was not something that humans could defeat.
-
In the transparent and sterile ward, Lu Yao used magic to separate the bodies of Xiao Linglan and Zhong Ruying that were fused together.
Bai Jing and Ji Feiming stood at the door of the blind box shop, watching the surging torrent outside the door in a silent atmosphere.
Dr. Bai took a leave of absence and came to the store. After signing the confidentiality agreement, he prepared to see the patient, but he was not allowed to enter the ward.
A special space that ordinary people cannot detect.
When Jiang Shanrun and Luo Huian heard that Lu Yao was in contact with mutant plants and was going to undergo surgery, they immediately stopped their research and ran outside the ward to watch.
Xue Ge had been waiting outside, staring at the bed inside.
At the critical moment, the curtains in the ward were automatically pulled up, blocking all views from outside.
A few minutes later, Lu Yao opened the curtains and held a pot of lily of the valley in his hands.
