Chapter 18 Special Plants
This series of attacks and defenses took place in a very short period of time, Su Xiaoyu's wound had just healed, and he saw that Zeng Tianqi was in danger and was about to be strong, but found that it was over.
Zeng Tianqi was now in a mess, splashed with dark green juice, and there was still a lot of spider silk left on his body. When Ba Zhuo and Ma Lin came in, they saw Zeng Tianqi, who was in disarray, and Su Xiaoyu, who was covered in blood with a big hole in his stomach and clothes. Looking at the huge spider corpse on the ground, Bazhuo was startled. Marin ran over immediately, and he didn't know which bag he had conjured out of a few small bottles and cans, and filled the bottles with the remaining spider silk and dark green blood as if they were treasures.
"Help me... There was a faint sound from the cobweb, and everyone followed the sound to see that the gray-white butterfly girl in the cobwebs was not yet dead, and Marin hurried over and smeared her with spider blood to save her from the web.
"Teacher... Is that you?? β
Marin was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully at the familiar silhouette of the butterfly girl. "Xiao Liu (Butterfly Girl)... It's me... Marin looked at the dying butterfly girl, not only his eyes were red, but his mouth trembled, and he remembered that he was the smartest of the interns he had often boasted about. Always follow him, "Teacher, teacher. How to solve this? "A lot of questions about the little intern girl. The girl was covered in phospho, and her entire left shoulder and left breast had been eaten by spiders. The internal organs can be seen through the gaps in the mutilated ribs. However, there is no bloodlust in the eyes of the girl. He was looking at Marin with tears in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, the teacher will bandage your wound and find you medicine immediately... Marin was comforted.
The butterfly girl shook her head with difficulty: "Teacher, I seem to have had a terrible dream, in which I ate Xiaohai. Xiaohai hugged me before he died, and kept calling my name. "Butterfly Girl's tears fell down like beads with broken threads." What's wrong with us, teacher. I feel like I'm going to see Xiaohai. You say, "Will he forgive me?" "A faint red mist rose from the butterfly girl's body... Teacher, you must live, you said that our research is very important, it is an important project for the benefit of all mankind... Pity.. We don't see it ... β
Marin felt a pain in his heart, these intern dolls have been assigned to his office since graduation, and they are all extremely smart and energetic, pestering themselves all day long to answer questions. But now... Gradually dying in front of his eyes - as a mad corpse.
The butterfly girl couldn't speak anymore, she cried as if she raised her hand to grab Marin... It's a pity that the hand turned into a blood mist and drifted away. Then to the shoulder, a large amount of blood mist floated up throughout the person. In the end, all that remained was a dry skeleton.
Marin hugged the skeleton and didn't say anything for a long time. Bazhuo's eyes were red next to him, and he almost cried. Su Xiaoyu was holding her stomach and was supported by Zeng Tianqi. Everyone watched the blood mist steaming, and Zeng Tianqi seemed to see the figure of a girl in the blood mist drifting away. There was a faint free energy between heaven and earth.
"Go, I hope there isn't killing and dying." Zeng Tianqi whispered to the dark void. Marin calmed down for a long time before he got up and put the skeleton down. "We need to go through the square and go to the cultivation room on the south side, where there was python bamboo before, maybe we can get out there." Marin seemed to have one more thing and one more goal on his body.
Some of the materials in the warehouse were used, but there were still a lot of them, and Zeng Tianqi saw for the first time a complete radiation-proof jacket, which was a slightly heavy windbreaker, covered quite completely from head to toe, and also equipped with shoes, socks and gloves.
With a slight silver glow in the shimmer, he gathered several sets and put them on his side. When the supplies and water were collected, the people came out of the hole in turn. Left behind a dead warehouse full of cobwebs. At this time, no one noticed that the skin of the "corpse" of the spider man next to him was rapidly turning gray, and it seemed to be slowly turning into a shell. The shell shook slowly, as if breathing. It's like a metamorphosis, it's like a resurrection.
Everyone stood outside the door of the cultivation room, and the cultivation room had completely changed to a different look. The walls are full of knots. The torsos of various plants are staggered and coiled inside, wrapped in a number of tables and chairs and some twisted steel pipes. The labyrinthine underground cultivation room emits a pale blue shimmer. Zeng Tianqi and his party stepped on the intricate roots, bypassed the pale branches that grew disorderly, and walked in. Marin kept collecting the roots, stems and leaves of these plants on the way.
Everyone came to a slightly open place, and Marlin was surprised to find that there was a strange phenomenon, in this sample room full of plants, there was actually a blank area without any plants at all. Soon he found the clue: it was not that there were no plants, but that there was only one. There are no plants around this plant, and no other plants will grow towards it, just like the territory of the king. The plant was small, only half a man tall, perhaps due to the lack of light, and its entire torso was grayish, with a few leaves made of sterling silver. The leaves swayed without wind, as pure as a baby stretching its limbs to embrace the world for the first time.
Ba Zhuo stared intently at the plant, and his hand grabbed Zeng Tianqi's hand. Zeng Tianqi looked back at Ba Zhuo, and an unusual sense of familiarity surged up in his heart. It's like I've seen this plant somewhere. Ma Lin was itching, and he and Su Xiaoyu were cautiously approaching to study how to dig up the plants by the roots. Su Xiaoyu obviously also liked this silver shiny plant very much.
At this time, the silver plant suddenly shook and closed its leaves and contracted very humanely, like a frightened child. Immediately, a strange wave that could not be detected by everyone emanated from the plant. Su Xiaoyu and Ma Lin were unaware, and Zeng Tianqi frowned, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. But Bazhuo suddenly covered his ears and shouted, "Stop screaming... It's so ugly... Zeng Tianqi looked back at Ba Zhuo: "You say... He's calling?? β
"Yes, Brother Zeng, didn't you hear? It's so harsh. β
Zeng Tianqi was about to ask a detailed question, when he heard the sound of breaking the air from the depths of the darkness.
Zeng Tianqi subconsciously shouted: "Get out of the way!" He rushed forward with his knife.
Ma Lin was digging the debris and cultivation soil near the small tree, and Su Xiaoyu was assisting in digging out the small tree next to him, when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking the air, and saw several dart-shaped objects whistling out of the darkness. Su Xiaoyu immediately pressed Ma Lin, and Su Xiaoyu, who didn't have time to dodge, stretched out his hand to directly put it into gear. Poof, two dart-like hidden weapons pierced her right wrist. When I looked closely, it turned out to be two short thorns as thick as chopsticks. Zeng Tianqi immediately rushed to him, looked at the short thorn on Su Xiaoyu's wrist, raised his hand and shot it with a crossbow. There was a scream inside, a scream that looked like a human being.
"Come out!" Zeng Tianqi held the unwound crossbow and frightened.
"Don't kill me, I'll come out, I'll come out!" There was a cringe voice shouting inside.
A figure slowly moved out of the darkness, and everyone looked at it, where was this person, it was simply a hedgehog, with a crossbow arrow stuck in his butt and almost no difference from the short thorns around him. The man crawled out naked and hunched.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
Highland Research Institute, basement level, sample room. Zeng Tianqi and they were interrogating a lewd hedgehog man. The hedgehog man's name is Fang Fu, and he was one of the first members who hid in the basement storehouse. At this point, they finally figured out what happened on the basement level of the research institute after Marin.
After Marin escaped through the ventilation pipe, the remaining three or five interns and two stevedores on the first floor hid in the warehouse, manually closing the warehouse door, and everyone remained in this tomb of the living dead. Survive on supplies in the warehouse. Hopefully someone will come to the rescue.
As the days passed, the faith and hope of waiting for rescue became smaller and smaller. On the fifth day, two stevedores and a girl surnamed Liu were crazy, the three of them fought together with red eyes, Fang Fu saw Xiao Liu, who usually even dissected a mouse to pieces, tore each other's flesh with sharp nails, and licked the blood stains on his own nails. Fang Fu felt that it was already extremely dangerous to stay in this warehouse. And at this time, the terrible monster outside seemed to go berserk, banging on the warehouse door again and again. In the midst of such a collapse, on the seventh day, everyone had gone crazy with a stevedore, killed two interns, and began to devour another worker who was torn apart by him, and Xiao Liu also pierced the throat of his boyfriend Xiao Hai with his blackened sharp nails, and Xiao Liu, who was devouring his boyfriend Xiao Hai, was quiet, as if he was eating a plate of stew. Fang Fu felt that something was wrong with him, he felt that his back was very itchy, but he couldn't scratch it, he tried his best to lie in the dark corner without being discovered by the two of them.
At this time, the door was knocked through a hole, and a neck with long spikes stretched in, Fang Fu felt that the monster he had seen in the nightmare of his life was not as terrible as this neck, the body behind this neck seemed to be stuck, smelling blood, this hair like a ground dragon full of spikes let out a terrifying howl, and as a result, it attracted the stevedores who were devouring the workers, and the stevedores let out a sharp howl at this huge neck, frantically scuffling together and biting each other, and finally the stevedores won, The head and neck were twisted off by the stevedore. Only a bucket of scarred neck shrank back, and the stevedore had eaten the head, and thorns grew on his back, and he turned into a humanoid spider, and his swollen belly spewed out spider silk that wrapped itself in a large cocoon and hung it on the ceiling.
Fang Fu shivered and hid in the corner, biting his wrist tightly, not daring to make a sound, until the big humanoid spider wrapped himself into a cocoon, he quietly moved to the big hole that had been knocked open, and resisted the urge to lick the blood on the ground, even if he felt that his mouth was thirsty, the blood splashed on the ground was so tempting.
Eventually, the fear of death overcame his appetite, and he slipped out of the cave in panic. The owner of the big head is nowhere to be found, perhaps hiding somewhere to lick the wounds of the mansion. Fang Fu burrowed into a room full of plants.
There he fell asleep exhausted, and two days later he was awakened by an earthquake tremor. He almost peed at the sight of a huge snake-like body, a huge body that was like a shot but had no scales, its muscles were exposed, and the cracks in its epidermis bulged with dense spikes, cutting through the corridor in front of him. With the vibration, the huge body gradually wandered away and disappeared.
The frightened Fang Fu desperately burrowed into a vine, but was attracted by a burst of fragrance, he saw a silver plant growing alone in the open space at the other end of the vine, the silver plant stems and leaves were all silver, shining with a strange light in the faint light, and a silver fruit grew on the main trunk, which looked very attractive. Fang Fu, who was extremely hungry, bit down the fruit in a daze.
After eating the fruit, he regained his spirits, but he wanted to lie down and sleep, but he felt awkward and reached out to touch it. Only then did he find that his back was full of dense spikes, and when he touched his face, he almost didn't scream, his face began to bulge outward, and fine sharp teeth grew out of his mouth. It turns out that these days, he... He turned into a hedgehogγγγγγ
The giant serpentine had escaped, and Badrol had followed it out of the lab's burrow. Marin speculated that it was the terrifying monster that had mutated in its prototype. And Fang Fu, after eating this fruit, he completely stabilized, but his face became sharp and long, and there were fine short thorns on his back, and his whole body was arched, which looked particularly obscene. These days, he was attached to this life-saving plant, and strangely enough, he no longer had bloodthirsty thoughts, and began to look for some rhizomes among these plants to satisfy his hunger. Seeing that Zeng Tian abandoned them and his party to dig up this plant, and heard the plant "asking for help" from him, he still took the opportunity to sneak attack Su Xiaoyu.
"Big brother, I really didn't mean to, it really asked me for help." Fang Fu explained while quietly watching the wound on Su Xiaoyu's arm scab heal rapidly, and then looked at Zeng Tian's black scale right hand on the side, secretly frightened.
"So, you ate the fruit of this tree to become like this?" Zeng Tianqi asked.
"No, no, I've mutated before, my mind has become confused, I just feel like they're eating people, and I really want to join them. Later, after eating this fruit, I began to wake up, and the mutation of my body stopped, and I also gained new abilities, you see. As he spoke, Fang Fu shook his arm, and several of the spikes on his shoulders detached from his body, bursting into the distance, all of which were planted into a thick vine in the distance.
Marin looked at the plant solemnly, his eyes lit up, "This is really a major discovery." If we remove him and study it carefully, we may be able to find the secret of the mutation. β
"You can understand his signals, so come on." Zeng Tianqi said.
"Hey???" Fang Fu looked at Zeng Tianqi with a blank expression, as if he had seen that Vice Dean Ma was not the head of this group, this dangerous young man was.
"Hey, what? Don't you want to leave and stay here? Su Xiaoyu said angrily, this hateful Fang Fu stabbed her twice. After that, he walked towards Zeng Tianqi, who was studying the huge python bamboo not far away.
Fang Fu finally reacted with a smile: "Hey... Hurriedly picked up the tools next to him and walked towards the silver tree.
