Rebirth: The Doomsday Solitary Favorite Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Mutated Plants

"Brother Han, where are we going?" Yan Xiao sat in the car, wiped his hands and asked.

"Pinggu District, you can't read the map?" The person who answered him was Xiao Jian.

"I'm just curious why we go to that district..."

"Brother Lu picked it, it's all written on the back of the map." Xiao Jian stretched out his hand and threw him a map, "Pinggu District is also a new development zone, developed earlier and faster than Huaihe Development Zone, there are two mature large hospitals, but it's a little far from the base, so it's very likely that it hasn't been looted."

Yan Xiao flipped the map booklet over and over, trying to find the specific location of the hospital, but the car suddenly shook at this time-

"Ouch! Xiao Jian, what a bad driving skill you have!" Yan Xiao covered his forehead and cursed.

"Maybe it ran over something." Xiao Jian frowned slightly, looking a little puzzled. With such a big bump, the wheel must have run over something big, but he didn't see any obstacles in front of him at the beginning.

Yan Xiao was just about to take the opportunity to tease Xiao Jian, when the car suddenly flew into the air! An extremely thick vine rolled up the HUMVEE!

Yan Xiao's face changed drastically, and he stretched out his hand and sprayed a huge flame outside!

The vine instantly burned a big hole! Suddenly retreated! HUMVEE was thrown more than ten meters in the air, and finally fell back to the ground with a bang!

"Drive quickly!!" Yan Xiao came to his senses and yelled at Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian quickly turned the steering wheel, the car body reversed almost 180 degrees, and stepped on the accelerator to quickly leave this section of the road!

HUMVEE flew a long way, and everyone slowed down when they saw that there was no movement from behind.

Han Jiaojiao poked her head out of Han Yi's arms and reached out to touch the back of Han Yi's head and back, "Brother, are you okay?"

If Han Yi hadn't protected her when she was thrown out just now, her head would have hit the roof of the car directly, and it would have been swollen if not broken.

Han Yi shook his head, but his tone was very gloomy. "My mental power can't detect it."

"It's a mutant plant." Han Jiaojiao explained to him, "Mutated plants have no heartbeat, no body temperature, and even if the mental search detects it, it can't be identified. It will only be regarded as an ordinary plant."

Bai Kairui, who was sitting next to him, said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, we just changed the car. If it was the previous one, it would have been smashed to pieces just now."

Yan Xiao couldn't help looking at the back of the car. It was really thrilling just now. They have always had plans and deployments. Even if there are emergencies, Han Yi and Lu Changyuan are in charge. However, this is the first time they have encountered a sudden attack. If they are overwhelmed, they will die!

"Don't worry, it won't chase us." Han Jiaojiao's tone is very sure, "The mutant plant is just more aggressive and changeable than other plants. It is still a plant in essence. It can't think. It will only attack living things near it instinctively. And it will not move if it takes root in one place unless someone digs it out."

"No one would be so wicked..." Yan Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn't complain about Han Jiaojiao's words.

Han Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled in an ambiguous way.

There were many people who did this in the past. Some private bases, lacking armed forces, tried to dig out small mutant plants and plant them near the base, hoping to use this method to fight against alien species. However, they forgot that mutant plants would grow. The deeper their roots were, the farther their attack range would be. However, the roots were invisible deep underground. Soon the base was besieged by the mutant plants they had planted. At this time, they could no longer save the situation. They could only abandon the base and leave.

"In short, we should be more careful in the future." Han Jiaojiao said at last.

After all, it is the end of the world full of dangers. It is not wrong to be careful. Everyone agreed with Han Jiaojiao's words and was used to her familiarity with these things after the end of the world. They did not ask much, but chose to believe her.

When they were almost at their destination, they encountered several wandering mutant beasts. Although mutant beasts were very aggressive, they were not stupid. They would only attack creatures that were weaker or similar to themselves. For example, mutant mice would still run away when they saw humans instead of jumping on them to bite them. However, if there were mutant mice in groups, it would be different.

The ones they encountered were probably mutants of stray cats and dogs, and they were larger in size. However, when the HUMVEE engine roared, these mutant beasts were scared and ran away, and they didn't even need to take action.

Perhaps it was because the mutant plants had frightened them too much just now. Yan Xiao looked at the mutant beasts that ran away and actually felt that they were a bit cute. He couldn't help but sighed: "The world is difficult... People also mutate, animals mutate, plants mutate, fortunately insects don't mutate, otherwise how can they survive?"

Han Jiaojiao leaned her head on Han Yi, thought for a while, and said: "Yes, why don't insects mutate?"

Han Yi pinched her soft little face, "Aquatic organisms don't mutate either."

"It should be related to the host chosen by this microorganism, right?" Bai Kairui scratched his hair and said seriously, "It's like, some diseases can only be contracted by humans and animals, for example... I've never seen flies and mosquitoes sneeze and catch a cold, so fish won't catch a cold, right?"

"Plants don't catch a cold either, but aren't they mutated now?" Yan Xiao refuted him.

Han Jiaojiao thought of another possibility and said, "Is it possible that the microorganisms infected by plants and mutant beasts are different? Isn't there a saying that viruses can also grow and evolve? Maybe it's just a plant disease that mutated when it was transmitted to other organisms?"

Yan Xiao shook his head weakly, "Who knows? Alas, maybe in another hundred or eighty years, a great scientist of mankind will know the answer. Anyway, I won't live to that time."

Everyone chatted casually for a few words, not caring too much about the truth. Anyway, the world has become like this. The most important thing now is how to survive better. As for the secret of mutation, leave it to the great scientists.

Xiao Jian started the engine and continued to drive forward.

At the intersection entering Pinggu District, you can see obvious traces of a large number of teams retreating. Various luggage packages are scattered on the ground. Some luggage bags are bitten by some animals, and the bedding and cotton inside are pulled everywhere, making the ground a mess. Some mutant rats got into the luggage to look for food, and fled around when they heard the roar of the vehicle.

Han Yi asked Xiao Jian to stop the car, because there were too many alien species in the city. In order to avoid waking them up, they could only walk for the next section.

This behavior might be very risky, because they went deep into the city where a large number of alien species lived without armored vehicles as defense.

But it might also be very smooth, because the period from 10 am to 3 pm is the time when alien species sleep the deepest and the hardest to wake up. As long as they don't make too much noise, they can get away safely.

It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the destination hospital, and 40 minutes to go back and forth, including the time to enter the hospital to search for supplies, which means that they will stay here for at least more than an hour. In such a long period of time, anything can happen.

--In mid-November, the sun was as hot as in the hot summer. There was no wind in the quiet city, and there were only five figures moving slowly on the empty streets.
