"Brother Duan, last time, the blood willow used the roots to absorb the flesh and blood of living creatures, and this time the blood lotus used the roots to absorb blood, won't all the mutated plants in the last days look like this!"

Yun Chen hid behind Yun Xu, with fear on his face.

"Of course not, many of the mutated plants in the last days still rely on their roots to absorb nutrients from the land, but some of them have mutated into new and more efficient ways of obtaining energy in order to better evolve, and absorbing flesh and blood is just one of them."

"Some mutant plants grow in volcanic craters, and most of their abilities are obtained by absorbing energy, some even directly extract magma, and some give up using their roots to absorb energy and purely absorb the energy of the sun."

"Okay, this blood lotus is a good raw material for medicine, and the lotus seeds of this blood lotus are not yet ripe, so I have to ripen it."

"Boss, isn't it, you don't have to think about it to know, I'm afraid that most of the villagers in Niujia Village have been directly or indirectly absorbed by this blood lotus, and this thing can really be eaten." Luo Jin shuddered a little.

"What's this, this is not poisonous, those green foods before the end of the world, not all of them were grown with feces, and there are not so many people who are sought after, and the crayfish are all grown up in the stinky ditch, and there are so many people who eat with relish, and I didn't let you eat human flesh, it's really a fuss." Duan Yang said disdainfully.

"This kind of thing will be very common in the future, you haven't seen those things that swallow human beings alive, sacrifice all souls with blood, and refine living pills to improve your strength, so you won't be used to it."

When Lin Xi heard this, he vomited even more, but just glanced at Duan Yang fiercely with complaining and perverted eyes.

Duan Yang took out a packet of pink powder from the package in the hand of Ying San next to him, poured it into the blood pool, and the powder melted into the water.

The blood lotus absorbed the free blood in the pool, and suddenly, the roots trembled violently, and the speed of absorbing blood and water surged, and the speed of blood and water became faint as soon as it was visible to the naked eye.

The blood water returned to clear, but the blood lotus petals did not stop blooming, and the blood on the surface became more intense, as if it was about to ooze blood.

The roots of the blood lotus faded to the color of blood and gradually withered, as if all the energy was extracted by the buds, and in the end, the petals of the blood lotus flower had not fully bloomed, and the lotus pod, petals, and stamens also gradually dried up, leaving only a dozen lotus seeds that were as crystal as red crystals in the lotus canopy.

Reality is not a game, there is no equipment, and there is no material, this blood lotus will naturally not spend so much effort, and even itself will wither, just to prepare these dozen lotus seeds as a reward for Duan Yang, who defeated the guardian boss Bat King.

Whether it is devouring blood or producing this blood lotus seed, it is the blood lotus instinct to prepare for its own evolution. The blood lotus seed was formed to lure other mutant beasts to protect its safety, and even provide it with sufficient energy like the Bat King, forming a symbiotic relationship.

During this period, most of the energy obtained by absorbing blood is actually stored by the blood lotus, as the food of evolution, only a small part enters the lotus seed, so it absorbs so much blood, and even the petals are not fully bloomed.

Duan Yang really knew too much about the characteristics of this plant, and when he had nothing to do, he prepared all kinds of medicinal liquids and powders that could be used in advance.

The previous medicinal powder was aimed at blood lotus and blood willow, which feed on flesh and blood, which contains a very strong ingredient similar to an excitant agent, and after the mutant plant absorbs it, the function of the mutated plant will be extremely active, and the energy will go to the purest and richest place of the mutated plant's energy.

This kind of place is generally the core of the mutated plant, such as the heart of the mutant tree, the lotus seed of the blood lotus, after the blood lotus absorbs the medicinal powder, all the energy rushes to the blood lotus seed, and there is no external energy to replenish, so it is drained of energy and withered and dies.

This medicinal powder is complex to manufacture, the materials are scarce, it can be said to be the nemesis of mutated plants, and Duan Yang does not have a few copies, if it weren't for the good quality of this blood lotus seed, Duan Yang would not waste this medicinal powder.

After Duan Yang and his party left for more than an hour, Niujia Village welcomed a new guest again, and a tree man with a height of nearly 15 meters in the distance strode and rushed over, it was Gu Changqing and Gu Ruyi's grandfather and grandson.

At this time, the appearance of the tree man was far less powerful than at the beginning, the leaves on his body were dry and fell with the bumps of running, leaving only a few scattered pieces, the bark was cracked, and the legs composed of roots and tendrils were highly worn out, and they had lost their original functions.

The tree man stopped by the lotus pond, Gu Changqing jumped to the ground with Gu Ruyi in his arms, twisted Gu Ruyi's head, and didn't let her look at the lotus pond.

"Tsk, there are so many bat corpses, and there is also a special plant breath left, this breath is not the same as the special plant breath on the twin brothers before, but it is very similar, they are all full of blood and violence."

Gu Changqing sensed the residual plant breath in the air, and the information he got was very limited, and he couldn't even tell what that special plant was.

However, when Gu Changqing saw the dried lotus canopy on the bank of the lotus pond and the dried rhizomes suspended in the pond water, he could still deduce some circumstances.

"The new special plant should be a lotus flower, I don't know why it mutated into a blood-feeder, and even the root changed from a lotus root to a root, and finally the lotus seed was dug up by that group of people."

"But are all this particular plants so powerful? The battle with that gang actually razed the whole village to the ground, and it was like a missile bombardment. ”

"Such a precious thing, I don't know if those people are willing to trade it to me, even if I agree, I am poor now, what can I use to get it, I don't really want the old man to work for them for a lifetime!" Gu Changqing had a headache and said, "Forget it, take one step at a time." ”

"Grandpa, the tree man seems to be withering, can you save it!" Gu Ruyi touched the dry bark of the tree man next to her, and said a little unbearable.

"Xiao Yiyi, grandpa can't help it, this tree man has been running for so long, the roots that absorb nutrients have dried up, and now the nutrients in its body will be exhausted, and it will soon die completely."

"But you see, the apple core produced by the tree man has its seeds in it, and grandpa planted its seeds here, which is equivalent to extending its life, just like grandpa and little Yiyi."

"Of course it's true, you see grandpa." Gu Changqing assured, took out a few apple cores from his bag and buried them in the soil, and used his ability to give birth to a small seedling that was the length of a finger, and then stopped the growth.

"Xiao Yiyi, you see, these are the children of the tree people, grandpa helped them grow up so big, the rest is up to them, okay, we should go."

Gu Changqing once again gave birth to a pear tree and turned into a tree man, and the two rushed in the direction of Duan Yang.

……

Qingyun Town Center, Qingyun Base, at this time, the heavy machinery that should have been damaged with the Awakening Day is working normally, mixers, excavators, forklifts, dump trucks, and bulldozers are under the control of the workers to rebuild and transform Qingyun Town.

Forklifts shovel the corpses of zombies on the street onto nearby trucks, where they are transported to special cremation pits for incineration and landfilling.

The green bricks were turned up, the ancient houses were torn down, the old trees were cut down, and even a statue of a famous person in the center of the ancient town was knocked down by heavy equipment, and a group of craftsmen poured another statue with cement on the spot, the statue was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man, the whole was a little rough, and the clothes were in a modern style.

Strangely, many of these machines can be clearly damaged, and it is reasonable to say that they are no longer possible, but these machines are still functioning normally.

Around the construction site, a large number of car wrecks were piled up, which were welded and fixed with steel bars, forming a thick city wall that even the Tier 1 zombies outside could not shake.

Such a scene should have been a happy land in the last days, and at the worst of all, an oasis in the desert, but the workers had sad expressions, as if something was bothering them.

There was a noise in the direction of the center of the base, and a young man with the same face as the statue in the center slowly walked towards the newly built statue, holding a young girl in each hand, opening the way in front of his subordinates, followed by a dozen entourages.
