Just when Wei Wei was puzzled, Li Mingyu pointed to the distance and continued to say to Wei Wei: "Let's go to that communication tower first. Although the satellite signals are gone, there is no other way to communicate. Let's go there and take a look, and if we can find something useful, maybe it will come in handy. It would be great to be able to connect with other people. ”

Wei Yi thought about it and felt that what Li Mingyu said was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement. He looked at the densely growing plants in front of him, and asked Li Mingyu sideways, "Can you try to communicate with these plants and let them make way for us." Otherwise, this road will not be easy. I don't want to be all chattered about by these plants all the way. ”

Li Mingyu nodded and said, "I can try it." These plants seem to be quite gentle. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and tried to communicate with the plants. They talked for a long time, and Wei Yi looked at the conversation between Li Mingyu and those plants that gradually became harmonious, and secretly guessed in his heart that Li Mingyu must have succeeded in persuasion.

Sure enough, after a short while, the plants that blocked their way slowly made way for them to come out.

Wei Yi looked at the path with some incredulity, and said to Li Mingyu, who was walking slowly, "This thing is really a bit strange. We let the plants make way for us. If this were to be said, few people would believe it. ”

Li Mingyu smiled and said, "I think these plants belong to a relatively mild type. If you run into those previous breeds, I'm afraid you won't be so easy to talk about. Perhaps, there are two types of plants: those who eat meat and those who don't. We just happened to meet someone who doesn't eat meat. ”

Wei Yi was amused by Li Mingyu's statement. He shook his head and smiled, tucked his backpack, and said, "It doesn't matter if they eat meat or not, they just have a way to go." Let's go, let's go there and have a look. I've always felt that this is not very solid. The sooner you reach them, the sooner you have peace of mind. ”

Wei Yi said, raising his legs and stepping on the path first, quickly moving towards the communication tower in the distance. Li Mingyu shook his head and smiled, and followed Wei Yi quickly.

As Wei Yi walked along the way, he found that the many plants on both sides of the path were all trying their best to move backwards in order to make room large enough for Wei Yi and the others to walk. But the surrounding plants are too dense. Even as the plants tried to retreat, they couldn't expand the path enough for the two of them to move forward side by side.

Wei Yi felt the kindness of these plants. He walked the path carefully to avoid accidentally stepping on those plants on the side of the road. Although, if he stepped on them, he couldn't do any major damage. In the face of those plant-terrifying self-healing abilities, that little injury can indeed be completely ignored.

But Wei Yi is still trying his best to avoid it. He couldn't tell what it was like. He just felt like he was facing countless babies. They babbled and surrounded Wei Yi. He walked along the path as if surrounded by many children.

This strange thought stubbornly occupied Wei Yi's brain, so that he had to walk cautiously and dare not slack off at all. He was afraid that he would hurt a certain plant by stepping on the wrong foot.

Perhaps it was because of Wei Yi's kindness that those plants made a very pleasant sound. The sound was like a bell in the wind, slowly transmitting into the distance.

Listening to this beautiful voice in Wei Yi's ears, he felt inexplicably cleansed in his heart. All kinds of fatigue on his body, under the shroud of this sound, were slowly disappearing.

Wei Yi looked at the plants in amazement, which were still making pleasant sounds. He never imagined that the power of sound could be so powerful.

But what surprised Wei Wei even more was that these plants seemed to be able to see his surprised gaze, and they actually let out a childlike laughter at Wei Yi.

The sound of laughter was more appropriate than the sound of a willow breeze. But Wei Yi's intuition told him very strongly that this sound was the laughter of the plants.

Wei Yi didn't know what was going on in this world. Why did the plants suddenly have intelligence? They're no longer rigid things that just suck water and minerals from the dirt, they've got intelligence.

Wei Yi suddenly thought of the problem of food. Human beings have always relied on plants and animals for food, and animals in this world are extremely scarce. The only food sources from animals are also cultivated artificially. Most of the food comes from plants.

If these plants also have wisdom, then what should they feed on in the future? Wei Wei even imagined a picture of one day, when he found an apple tree full of fruit. He was about to pluck a large, plump and ruddy apple and nibble on it when the apple tree suddenly shouted menacingly to him, "Hey! Dude, you've got my baby in your hand. If you dare to eat it, I'll eat you first! ”

When Wei Yi thought of that strange scene, he couldn't help but shiver while snickering.

If it does turn out that way, it will be a serious food crisis. And it's not just a food crisis, it's going to turn into an inter-ethnic war.

Humans will inevitably go after these newly developed plants for food. And these plants will inevitably rise up to resist in order to survive. Once that happens, I'm afraid it's going to be a real mess in the world.

Thinking of this, Wei Yi couldn't help frowning. He didn't want to hurt the plants, but at the same time, he didn't want to go hungry because of it. This complex emotion was inadvertently revealed on his face.

Li Mingyu saw Wei Xuan's expression suddenly becoming complicated, and couldn't help but ask with some confusion, "What's wrong?" What makes you so melancholy? ”

Wei Yi slowly told Li Mingyu in detail what he was worried about. After hearing this, Li Mingyu was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed out loud.

He laughed for a while, looked at Wei Yi amusedly, and said, "I say, when did you become so cranky?" We can't care about this kind of thing for the time being. Think about it, how many years did it take for us humans to evolve? No matter how fast these plants evolve, it is impossible to shorten the evolution time of tens of thousands of years to just a few months or days, right? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the plants on the side of the road and continued to Wei Yi: "These plants should only have the lowest level of wisdom now, and they should not be able to form the scale you feared. Besides, even if they did evolve like that. Then they can't all be the same. ”

"What do you mean?" Wei Yi was stunned and asked a little puzzled.

Li Mingyu slowly explained as he walked: "There are laws of nature in the natural world. Although the planet has experienced several large-scale extinctions, each time the old breed goes extinct, it is also the time when a new breed is born. However, the birth of new varieties is not necessarily just one, there are also types between them. ”

As he spoke, gesturing with his hand, he continued, "It's like a tower. There are both varieties that survive at the top of the food chain and varieties that survive at the bottom of the food chain. Even these plants should be no exception. If they do evolve to the stage of full intelligence, as you fear, they will inevitably be born at the top of the food chain and those who live at the bottom of the food chain. It is not possible to evolve just one type. This is the inevitable law of the development of nature. ”

Wei Yi couldn't understand this kind of problem too thoroughly. He just felt that if that was the case, then he might not be able to eat refreshing cucumbers, turnips, and cabbage as usual.

Wei Yi shook his head and said with some confusion: "Alas, I hope that when the time comes, at least I can eat some potatoes." Otherwise, you can have a little cabbage. Apples or something, I won't think about it. If the apple tree does have a spiritual intelligence, I'm too embarrassed to say anything more. ”

Li Mingyu looked at Wei Yi, who was talking to himself, and couldn't help but shake his head. He was obviously unable to communicate effectively with Wei Yi on such a professional issue. He is a person who does scientific research, and he has his own unique views on this kind of problem. He didn't think that the kind of thing Wei Yi was worried about would actually happen. Even if that happens, there will inevitably be corresponding varieties in nature.

This is the principle that all things are mutually reinforcing. This principle has existed forever since hundreds of millions of years ago, and it will never change because of one or several mutated plants.

But his professional opinions, when facing ordinary people like Wei Yi, are a feeling that some heroes are useless. After all, ordinary people like Wei Yi only care about whether they can fill their stomachs, and they can't think too long-term about other issues, nor can they think too professionally.

Li Mingyu glanced sideways at the mutant plants, and urged Wei Yu to say, "Leave these alone. Let's settle the matter at hand first. We don't have to worry too much about eating for the time being. If that happens, I'll find a way to get you to eat potatoes or apples. ”

Wei Yi shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said to Li Mingyu, "That's what you said. Don't be fooled when the time comes. I'll order the tomatoes first, so I don't have to go back and end up in line. ”

"Let's go, you. When the time comes, you will be indispensable. Li Mingyu urged helplessly.

Wei Yi nodded with satisfaction and continued to walk.
