Chapter 190 Plant Affinity

After swallowing the magical seed, it takes ten days to germinate.

And now, the ten days are up!

Wang Tao found that the countdown below his health bar had disappeared, but his hidden attribute column had an additional attribute.

[Hidden attributes: physical fitness, night vision, plant affinity]

An additional "plant affinity"!

[Plant affinity: can feel some of the feelings of plants]

"Huh? What does this mean?"

There were no plants in the room where Wang Tao was, and he walked out.

It was dark now, and if he didn't activate his night vision ability, he couldn't see the situation outside clearly.

Then Wang Tao closed his eyes and thought about using his plant affinity hiding ability.

After a moment, Wang Tao widened his eyes.

"It's a bit magical!"

Although he just closed his eyes, he could vaguely "see" the surrounding situation!

Wang Tao seemed to have found something interesting, and conducted many experiments, and also pulled Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun.

After studying for an hour, Wang Tao probably figured out the use of his hidden ability.

His affinity with plants is a bit like "sensing" ability. But the actual effect is worse than the perception ability.

Wang Tao had communicated with Han Rui before and knew her feelings with the perception ability.

Simply put, Han Rui can sense most creatures within the range of the perception ability! The reason why it is said is most of them, because she can't sense creatures that are too small, such as insects.

Her perception ability is very strong, and zombies and humans have nowhere to hide in front of this perception!

And Wang Tao's affinity with plants is different. He seems to be able to... communicate with plants? The word communication is not very accurate, because these plants are not intelligent... It can only be said that he can feel the movements of some plants, and then judge what is going on here from the movements of these plants.

Simply put, if there is no plant around a person, or if he is suspended above the plants, Wang Tao cannot sense it.

If someone walks on the plant, or moves the plant with his hands, then Wang Tao will know that there may be a person or a zombie here...

So in terms of perception alone, Wang Tao's plant affinity is completely incomparable to Han Rui's perception.

But his plant affinity has some abilities that perception does not have.

Perception can only see what is happening at the time, while plant affinity can infer the previous situation by observing the situation of the plant.

For example, someone stood on the lawn ten minutes ago. Wang Tao can judge by feeling the state of the plant that there was a two-legged thing passing by here ten minutes ago. Judging from its walking posture, it is likely to be a human...

So to some extent, Wang Tao can see the "past".

Of course, the same sentence, perception is a very intuitive existence, and you can see it when you see it.

And his plant affinity is not as intuitive as perception, and requires his own research and judgment, and requires thinking...

But this is already very good for Wang Tao.

After all, no matter what, this can be regarded as a small half of perception ability!

He was still complaining before that he would be much more comfortable if Han Rui was there. Now that he has this ability, he can do some of Han Rui's previous work.

Wang Tao experimented for a while, and he had a deep understanding of his perception range, what plants are suitable for perception, etc.

His perception range is actually quite large. When he stands in the middle of the mall, he can sense the plants in the entire mall! This is much larger than Han Rui's perception ability range, and it does not consume Wang Tao's mana.

However, his perception is not very accurate. He asked Jiang Shixue to experiment. When he deliberately ran around in the building, but did not touch the surrounding plants, Wang Tao could not sense it. Moreover, Wang Tao could not sense the specific strength of the other party, and could only analyze it through his own experience...

As for what plants are most suitable to use, it is naturally some grass, or moss and the like. These plants are numerous and have a large range. As long as they are touched, there will be traces left. Wang Tao can "see" this trace and infer the general situation here.

If it was before, it felt that the use scenario of this ability was relatively limited, or it was only suitable when in the wild. But now, there are plants everywhere in the city, and this ability has a lot of use!

With this hidden ability, it can be regarded as a supplement to Wang Tao's perception.

Now that he has a new ability, Wang Tao is ready to try it out.

"Xiaoxue, let's go out and take a look."

"Okay~"

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue came to the bottom of the Haochen Hotel together.

It's night time now, and there are still many zombies on the road. But the night vision of the two is not a big problem.

There are also many plants growing in the Haochen Hotel, some weeds, mosses and creepers, which can be used by Wang Tao.

At the base of the wall outside the hotel, Wang Tao felt it and soon felt that there were several people walking regularly upstairs, as if they were... patrolling?

But it was obviously impossible to judge anything based on this alone.

So, after thinking for a while, Wang Tao threw a few stones into the building.

The movement was not big, but this movement instantly attracted many people's vigilance. Wang Tao could feel more people immediately, and he waited silently.

About ten minutes later, the people inside seemed to find that there was no danger, so they went to sleep.

Wang Tao's face suddenly showed a smile. He had already got the answer he wanted.

The two quietly returned to the mall, and then Wang Tao told Xu Xiaojun and Jiang Shixue about his discovery.

"The woman named Nie Siyan said that there were 11 of them in total, all on the 10th floor of the Haochen Hotel, which is the top floor. There were criminals downstairs, and the passage upstairs was blocked by them, so the criminals couldn't go up. But I just sensed that there was only one person on the top floor, and this person went downstairs and then went up again..."

Wang Tao said it very clearly, and both the fool and the stubborn understood it.

"She's lying to us!"

Xu Xiaojun was a little angry.

His first reaction when he heard the call for help was to save people. He felt that everyone was a survivor in the end of the world and should help each other.

But now, he realized that helping each other might just be his wishful thinking... He was stubborn, but he was not stupid. Deliberately lying to them in this situation would definitely not be good!

Jiang Shixue didn't say anything, and didn't even have any angry emotions. She didn't care about other people. She just looked at Wang Tao and waited for his instructions.

"This group of people obviously has bad intentions, so we don't need to be polite. It just so happens that we also need to understand the situation here... Wait a minute, I'll try to catch her!"

Wang Tao brought the intercom over.

...

Haochen Hotel.

Nie Siyan looked at the bald man with a dark face.

"Have you finished the inspection?"

The bald man hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, Sister Nie, I have checked it, the hotel is very safe! It may be some zombies outside that made the noise... Those zombies disturbed your sleep, Sister Nie, damn it!"

"Go away."

Nie Siyan waved her hand impatiently.

"Yes!"

The bald man immediately hunched over and retreated, and gently closed the door.

Nie Siyan got up and looked at the stars outside the window. She was a little irritated.

She hadn't opened the shop for several days. Today, she finally met someone, but she was silent after a few words. The other party didn't go to the convenience store...

She didn't sleep well these days, and there was some noise in the hotel just now, which made her unable to sleep now.

"If you don't fall for it, it's fine. If you fall for it, see how I torture you..."

Nie Siyan's face showed a hint of cruelty.

"Zizi... Hello, are you still there... Zizi..."

Suddenly, the intercom next to her rang.

This scared Nie Siyan, but after hearing the familiar voice inside, her face suddenly brightened.

Then she cleared her throat.

"Brother, when are you coming! Those gangsters have been threatening us, and we can't stop them! Woo woo..."

"Wait a moment, I'll go to save you right away!"

Wang Tao's voice was brave and resolute.

"Thank you so much, you are such a good person--" Nie Siyan was about to say something nice to thank you, but she suddenly froze, and her tone was a little strange, "You mean, you come here now in the middle of the night?"

"Yes! You just wait, it will be here in about half an hour, very fast!"

"Okay! Thank you! I have to tell them this good news!"

Nie Siyan quickly picked up another walkie-talkie.

"Attention! The prey is coming! You all go to the convenience store and the milk tea shop to hide! Quick, quick, quick!"

Many of her subordinates were still sleeping, and they were a little dazed when they heard the news.

"Ah? Going there now... it's not even day yet?"

"Sister Nie, are you sure? I don't mean to doubt you, but..."

"It's so dangerous at night..."

Listening to the complaints of her subordinates, Nie Siyan's face darkened.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up! If I find someone who hasn't worked, you know the consequences!"

Hearing Nie Siyan's sinister threat, everyone felt cold in their hearts. They didn't dare to resist and went to work immediately.

"Hey, be careful, I hope you don't run into the Night Demon..."

After Nie Siyan arranged all her subordinates, she and three of her subordinates on night duty were the only ones left in the hotel.

"What an idiot, coming here in the middle of the night! But it's just right, such an idiot doesn't deserve to live in the world..."

Nie Siyan gritted her teeth.

Since she couldn't sleep well anyway, she decided not to sleep today and wait for good news from her subordinates.

So, half an hour later.

Nie Siyan looked at her two walkie-talkies and frowned.

The survivor had not contacted her since he contacted her half an hour ago. She took the initiative to contact, but the other party could not get through.

There was no news on her other walkie-talkie either, which meant that her subordinates had not found anyone...

Nie Siyan, who was a little irritated, picked up the second walkie-talkie.

"What's the situation over there?"

"Report to Sister Nie, nothing happened at the convenience store!"

"The same goes for the milk tea shop... May I ask what instructions Sister Nie has?"

"Waiting!"

Nie Siyan threw the walkie-talkie on the sofa.

"Didn't we agree to come in half an hour? Why hasn't he come yet? Did he back out? Or did something happen on the way?"

Nie Siyan had already scolded Wang Tao in her heart, but she still waited patiently. After all, it was the end of the world, and not many people could be punctual.

So, another half an hour passed.

Just when Nie Siyan thought there was no hope tonight.

The first intercom suddenly rang again.

"Ms. Nie, are you there?"

"I'm here!"

Nie Siyan replied immediately.

"Sorry, we just found out that we went to the wrong place... I found a map and we are on our way to you! But there are a lot of zombies on the road, so just wait for me for another two hours!"

Wang Tao's voice was full of apology.

"..."

Nie Siyan's face looked ugly. How could this be the wrong place?

But think about it, there are quite a lot of buildings nearby, plus it’s night time and there’s no map yet, so it’s normal to find the wrong one...

"Okay! We are waiting for you. Brother, you must be careful and put your own safety first! We will have no problem holding on for another half day!"

Nie Siyan's tone was sincere, but her expression at the moment was one of gritted teeth.

"Haha, don't worry, just wait! Wait for us for two hours!"

After speaking, Wang Tao directly cut off the communication.

"This Shabi, I'll wait for you for another two hours!"

Nie Siyan took out a crumpled cigarette from her body.

"Hiss...hoo..."

Two hours later.

Looking at the two walkie-talkies that were still silent, Nie Siyan had a bad expression.

She contacted her subordinates again.

Nothing happened over there, and they were sure that no one went to the convenience store or milk tea shop.

"I'll wait for you for the last hour! If you don't come back in an hour, just turn off the intercom and go to sleep!"

Nie Siyan said to herself bitterly.

She was very sleepy now, but she couldn't rest for this prey.

So, she waited for another hour.

Still nothing happened.

It's already late at night, and it will be dawn if we don't sleep!

Nie Siyan rubbed her tired eyes and immediately prepared to turn off the intercom and go to sleep.

Her men were probably too sleepy, but she didn't bother to ask.

"Zizzi..."

But just then, the intercom rang suddenly!

"Zizi...Ms. Nie, are you still there? I've arrived...zizi..."

Um? arrive? !

Nie Siyan was immediately overjoyed.

She immediately used a second walkie-talkie to get her men ready, saying people were coming.

Then she pretended to be very excited and said:

"Really? Where are you now?"

"Behind you!"

This voice came not from the walkie-talkie, but from behind her!

"!!!"

Nie Siyan was shocked, but before she could turn around, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her head, then her vision went dark and she lost consciousness. Vaguely, she seemed to see a flash of green light.

Behind him, Wang Tao retracted his hand.

"The strength is a bit weak! I am so cautious..."

Wang Tao was a little speechless, but he quickly put Nie Siyan in a sack.

Then he picked up Nie Siyan, took her walkie-talkie and backpack, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he walked downstairs.

Downstairs, Jiang Shixue stood next to a guard on duty who was knocked unconscious by her.

"Let's go."

Wang Tao also picked up this man.

There were only two people on duty at the Haochen Hotel, and they couldn't see Wang Tao from that direction. So the two left the Haochen Hotel without being discovered by anyone. All the way back to the mall was smooth sailing.

Wang Tao tied up both of them.

Especially this woman, Wang Tao tied her tightly with the iron chain on the car. Not to mention, this woman's figure is a bit explosive, and it becomes even more prominent when tied with the iron chain.

The man is a first-level superpower with four thousand blood, and his strength is not enough to prove. The woman is a second-level superpower with more than 10,000 HP, and her strength is barely adequate.

Then Wang Tao tied the woman and the man into two different rooms.

"You go interrogate the man, and I'll interrogate the woman."

Wang Tao said to Xu Xiaojun.

"good!"

Xu Xiaojun nodded fiercely.

Although he is an honest man, it does not mean that he will not be angry.

Xu Xiaojun came to the man and beat him violently.

"Uh... it hurts..."

After a moment, the man opened his eyes drowsily, but everything in front of him was pitch black. His eyes were blindfolded. He seemed to understand something instantly, and suddenly said in a hurry:

"Don't kill me, I say, I will say anything!"

…

On the other side, Wang Tao slapped the unconscious woman on the face.

Bang bang bang——

Her face was almost swollen, and she finally woke up slowly. It was also pitch black before her eyes.

"You answer whatever I ask. I have already asked your companion in advance. If I find that you answer differently, then you both will die."

Wang Tao said indifferently.

But this woman was much calmer than the man. She moved her body, and when she felt she couldn't break free, she immediately spoke:

"Who are you! I can give you whatever you want. Please let me go..."

Snapped--

Before she could finish her words, she was slapped.

"You answer whatever I ask. I haven't asked yet, and I hope there won't be a second time."

"..."

Nie Siyan was very angry, but her life was in the hands of others, so she had the sense not to say anything more.

"Name."

"...Nie Siyan."

"Huh?" Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, then slapped her, "I'll tell you my real name."

"...My real name is Nie Siyan..."

Nie Siyan suppressed her anger and sounded a little aggrieved.

"..."

Wang Tao was speechless. This woman used her real name when she came to deceive people?

"age."

"28..."

"gender."

“…”

Pa——

“Gender.”

“Female!” Nie Siyan gritted her teeth and spoke.

Wang Tao suddenly asked:

“Why did you lie to me?”

“I didn’t——”

Pa——

Nie Siyan subconsciously wanted to quibble, but was slapped hard by Wang Tao again.

Blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, but Wang Tao showed no mercy.

“I, I want the supplies on you…”

Nie Siyan had no choice, her subordinates must be very stubborn… Seeing Wang Tao like this, she had no doubt that Wang Tao would kill him, so she could only speak truthfully.

“What else?”

“And… and you, you foreign superpowers, can be sold at a very high price…”

Hearing this, Wang Tao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Can Zijing City now do superpowers human trafficking? It’s quite developed!
