The plants along the way have stopped a lot, and they are finally about to reach the place where there are no plants that Xiaoduo said.

Sure enough, a desert broke into their field of vision, a vast desert, or a desert of mountains.

A large area of green surrounds a small town, and there are rolling greenery everywhere, but the green hills, which were originally denser, have now turned into a mountain of sand and rocks.

"I've heard of desertification, but I haven't seen a mountain become a desert." Xu Xuening looked at the desert and fell silent.

"Well, this place used to be a stone and there were basically no plants. However, after the accident here, no plants can grow anymore. ”

After Duomu walked here with everyone, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The plants that were chasing them finally stopped.

It's just that they are also trapped in this place and can't get out.

Sitting in the sand on the ground, Han Xiaoxiao was about to fall down, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Why is it so hot here?" No wonder it doesn't grow plants! ”

"There were people who died here before, and it was later called a cursed place by the villagers." Many acres watched as a bare mountain turned to stone, and the stones on the mountain rolled down from the sand.

"What the hell are we doing here?" Xu Xuening looked at the tall captain, many people were injured, but they didn't know what to do when they came here.

"The morphological growth of plants here has undergone a mutation, and although in some ways, plants have brought a considerable degree of danger to humans, but in the same way, these fast-growing plants and their defensive capabilities can also provide rapid improvements to our future planetary environment."

Behind the tall man, a middle-aged man walked over, a few sparse hairs remained on his almost reflective head, and a turtleneck sweater was slightly bloated among the crowd.

Spring has quietly arrived, and this spring came exceptionally early, breaking the harsh winter early, allowing more people to breathe and survive.

Most of the people who followed the team on the mission changed into a windbreaker, and only Lao Chang and this middle-aged man wore more.

The middle-aged man took out bottles and cans from his backpack, and he squatted down and began to fish out a lot of plants on the ground with tweezers.

"Check it out and stay safe." The tall captain ordered everyone to disperse and check their surroundings.

Soon, more than a dozen tents were erected in this place, and the army-green tents were almost out of place in the desert mountains.

"This place is really weird." Han Xiaoxiao's strength recovered slightly, and curiosity immediately took over him.

He followed the three specimen collectors, crouched down and followed them to learn how to collect the plants.

"Of course. This mountain is not a mountain alone. The mountains around it grew more and more luxuriant, except for this place, which seemed to be cut off. This is a unique phenomenon that is not found anywhere else. Not only that, do you see the plants around here? ”

Probably talking about professional problems, the few people who were squatting next to Han Xiaoxiao immediately became excited and talked to Han Xiaoxiao endlessly.

"Look, what's that?" On the top of the hill, a black object emerges. One person immediately reminded the crowd.

The people who had just been killed from a group of plant battle royales all came out of their heads nervously when they heard other movements.

"Captain?"

Xiao Duo took the telescope given to him by the captain, and after reading it, he still shook his head, "I haven't seen that thing." Not sure what it is. ”

"I've seen it."

One of the people in the team who claimed to have obtained the evolution of vision looked at the black object, and his face sank, "That thing is not a black panther, the whole body is oily like oil." A good friend of mine was devoured by this thing. Do not come close. Especially the old man. ”

Speaking of Lao Chang, Xu Xuening looked at Han Xiaoxiao worriedly.

Han Xiaoxiao also looked at Xu Xuening with a stupid look, "What's wrong, sister?" ”

"......" Xu Xuening shook her head, "It's okay, that thing can't be attacked with fire, you don't want to join in the fun." ”

Han Xiaoxiao, who knew that many things were unknown now, nodded, he had already seen earthworms bigger than people, and scorpions with super bodies, and his curiosity about the unknown black objects that appeared on this mountain had also decreased a lot, "Don't worry, I won't go near it." ”

"Look, that black object is gone." Just as Han Xiaoxiao was talking to Xu Xuening, a person saw the black object on the top of the mountain slowly retreating behind him.

"It's going to run away?" Some people guessed that the tension in his heart was slightly relaxed, but the next sentence made him even more nervous.

"It's not that it's gone, it's already melted into the ground." The man with good eyesight looked worried, and he was even more frightened by what he saw.

After he said this, many people saw that the mountain of yellow sand not far away began to turn black. At first, it was a small black dot, like a small black leopard standing alone on the top of a mountain. Then, like a puddle of water, its body melted on the mountain. The black body began to spread like scattered smoke. On the mountain not far away, a black area was suddenly exposed.

Han Xiaoxiao watched as the black began to gradually expand, getting bigger and bigger, but the concentration did not seem to decrease, the entire top of the mountain originally seemed to be wearing a small hat, but now, it was a short black hair, this short hair did not seem to have stopped, and it was still growing.

From the black hair of the inch head to the short hair of the shoulder, the green silk on the mountain gradually elongated, and when it became a long green silk falling towards them, the face of the team leader turned black.

"Get out of the way." Seeing the black rush towards them, the team leader didn't need to shout, and everyone else immediately jumped to both sides and ran.

Soon, a sand pit appeared in their original place, and the sand became more delicate, as soft as sea sand. But it made everyone feel panicked.

"Captain, my shoes are rotten."

"Mine too."

"Mine too."

One by one shouted.

The black slowly dissipated from the ground, like a fog slowly dissipating and evaporating. What was left for them was a patch of yellow sand.

"It's oil."

One of the professors looked at his shoes and knocked the sand on his shoes. Like everyone else, his insoles were all gone, and he was left standing there with a pair of insoles left.

Most of the people next to them had their entire shoes gone, and some only had two laces on the tops of their feet.

"What does this have to do with oil?" Han Xiaoxiao looked at his bare feet curiously, and he had a strange feeling when he stepped on the sand.

"Oil is very important, not only for cars, but also for all kinds of chemical products. Just like the shoes you wear on your feet, the raw material has to do with oil. The professor who had just mentioned oil sighed, "You'll be able to meet this amazing creature in your lifetime." ”

The young professor was very different from the subordinate next to him, with thick black hair, and his age had suddenly dropped by more than ten years.

"Is there no one living here?" Han Xiaoxiao looked strangely at the surrounding area, those rooms covered with plants must have become uninhabitable.

Duomu shook his head: "This place has been empty since the beginning. At the time of the accident, the town happened to be celebrating the festival, and people from other places happened to come over. Basically, the whole town became zombies that day, and even if nothing happened, they couldn't get out of here. ”

"How do you know so well?"

Han Xiaoxiao asked him curiously, Xu Xuening also turned his head to look at Duomu, this young man's face was optimistic, as if he had endless happiness.

"I, at that time, I was escorted out by a family of thirty, and I was the only one alive in Sanshuifu Town."

In his calm narration, those fresh lives seem to follow him, silently guarding the only survivor.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while.

The tall captain looked around coldly, "The tent is still there, and the iron has not been eroded. However, the bottom of the tent is gone. ”

"It's okay, I still have a lot of cotton sheets and quilts there, and it shouldn't be a problem to spread them underneath."

"It's getting dark early here, and the professors and experimenters are hurrying to action, and others are assisting them. Meeting. ”

The captain screamed to the next zero, and everyone else moved.

Xu Xuening took a few people and began to hold things from his own space. didn't take out a little, she felt distressed for a long time.

She's been saving these things all the way.

"You say, is there really no one here?" Looking at the back of Duomu leaving, Xu Xuening looked towards the tall man.

The tall captain standing next to him, like a tall poplar tree, his expression did not change, and he looked at everyone's movements seriously, as if he didn't hear what Xu Xuening standing next to him just said.

Just as Xu Xuening turned around and was about to leave, she heard a voice behind her: "It doesn't matter if there is anyone or not, whether there is a threat to us or not, this is the key." ”

"Huh?" Xu Xuening was stunned for a moment, thinking of his words, she had to nod in agreement, "You're right." ”

She looked at the fine sand in front of her, a big stone just now, it has already had a phenomenon of sandification, and it will not be long before this one-meter-sized stone may disappear. If the desertification of the land is so serious, will there be room for human beings to live in the future?

She looked around. Those vegetation that almost killed them, at this moment, she actually had a little more expectation in her heart, perhaps, the improvement of the environment may really depend on them.

It's just that when she thinks of those piercing leaves, she feels that she should wear a layer of iron clothing.

It hurts to be pierced by those leaves.
