Chapter 343 Starving

After passing through the narrow, thorny bushes, the view suddenly became clear.

Lin said, "We're here. This is it."

Teammates: "Hiss - what a waste of natural resources!"

Under each sturdy fruit tree, there were piles of ripe and fallen fruits. The ones closest to the wet mud were covered with green hairs. The mold was visible with fine filaments climbing upwards, more like a hedgehog with frizzy hairs, with upright hyphae all over the body.

This kind of fruit must not be eaten.

Fortunately, there are still many on the tree.

Sang Zhengyi: "Don't worry, let Hu Zi go up and check it out in case of any sudden abnormalities."

Hu Zi has some reversion to his ancestors, with longer arms and rough and thick palms, which makes it easier for him to climb up the tree trunk and jump and shuttle between branches.

It's perfect to send him there.

Generally speaking, plants will have some mutations, some harmless, and some aggressive.

According to Sang Zhengyi's long-term observation, meat-eating plants in peacetime are better at catching living things after mutation.

The plants with thorns all over their bodies became sharper and longer, and some could suddenly launch a large number of thorns, making it impossible to defend against them and directly piercing into hedgehogs.

The climbing plants had a faster growth rate and increased strangling power. He often saw a thick tree being climbed by a thin vine, and the roots on the stem gradually penetrated into the tree, absorbing nutrients continuously, and growing huge leaves on the top and blooming bright yellow flowers with a diameter of one meter.

It won't be long before the tree will die due to lack of sunlight and uncontrolled absorption of nutrients.

What kind of mutation will this be?

Most of the mutations of plants are based on the primary premise of increasing the survival rate of seeds...

Hu Zi picked up a stone and threw it carefully.

The stone hit the tree trunk with a bang.

Everyone was nervous and ready to escape at any time.

But the tree was motionless.

Hu Zi shook his legs and arms, picked up a branch again, and approached while beating it on the ground.

He was wearing a pair of thick-soled safety shoes. He sank deep into the pile of fruits, leaving only the upper part of his shoes exposed. The squeezed fruits oozed juice, which wet the fabric and turned it dark brown.

After he lifted his feet, he left a hole.

Sang Zhengyi looked carefully and found nothing wrong.

And Hu Zi on the opposite side was worthy of his name. He climbed up the tree just by looking down and looking up.

Sang Zhengyi was shocked: "Hu Zi?! How did you climb up the tree directly?!"

With his feet on the tree trunk, Hu Zi picked a fruit casually and said with a smile: "It's okay, it agrees to let us pick the fruit!"

It?

Who is it referring to? !

This time, not only Sang Zhengyi was shocked, but everyone was stunned.

Sang Zhengyi said anxiously: "Who is it you are talking about? It can't be this tree?"

Hu Zi touched the tree trunk and pulled his hair, his facial features twisted into a ball.

"That's it!"

From their position, Hu Zi really looked like a monkey that had become a spirit.

Sang Zhengyi always felt something was wrong. He had never heard of plants mutating and developing thoughts!

Maybe it smelled some confusing smell and had hallucinations!

He continued to ask anxiously, gradually approaching, "What did it say? How could you understand it?"

Hu Zi was even more confused. He put the fruit in front of his eyes and frowned.

He only heard him say intermittently: "I, this tree, it didn't say anything, I felt it. When I got closer, I felt that it was so happy and hoped that I could pick the fruit. It hated the seeds taking root and sprouting under its feet, snatching energy from it, and it wanted me to take all the fruit away. Just, that's it."

After listening to him, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Hope they pick the fruit?

So dreamy...

This time, everyone agreed that there was a confusing smell around the tree!

But Hu Zi climbed higher and higher with ease, and actually stretched out his hand to pick the biggest and reddest fruit on the top!

"It's okay! You guys quickly catch it with a cloth bag below, I can't hold it in my hands!"

Hu Zi waved the palm-sized fruit happily and shouted to the people who looked like little people below.

Qi Hua took out the mask in his pocket and put it on, stopping Sang Zhengyi who kept moving forward, "I'll go. ”

He is the only one with high level of supernatural power and quick reaction, so he is the most suitable person to go.

Besides, the fruit tree has really not made any movement.

Could it be...like Hu Zi said, the tree wants them to take the fruit away?

Sang Zhengyi stared at Qi Hua who was getting closer and closer to the tree. As long as he saw whether he had dementia, he would know.

Everyone looked at Qi Hua's figure. Seeing him getting closer and closer, he opened the cloth bag and looked up and said, "Hu Zi, throw the fruit!"

Hu Zi laughed and threw the fruit down very accurately, then quickly climbed to another branch and pulled the fruit.

After waiting for more than ten seconds,

Qi Hua turned around and took off his mask and said, "It's really okay, there is no smell."

Hu Zi on the branch said, "It told us to hurry up! The fruit is about to fall down naturally!"

After that, a red fruit really fell into Qi Hua's cloth bag.

Translated by Sang Zheng:!

Everyone:! !

What else are you thinking about? Pick fruits!

Everyone rushed forward, wearing thick rubber gloves, and began to climb the branches. When they saw that the fruit tree was really silent, they were completely relieved and crazily stuffed their bags into their pockets.

Even the chestnut trees, walnut trees, and wild pear trees next door were not spared. We took as many as we could!

It’s something that doesn’t cost points, and it’s addictive just to hold it!

...

The sun was setting in the west, and the shadows on the ground slowly crawled, gradually covering the piles of rotting fruits. The coldness gradually set in. The busy people shivered and suddenly felt that the weather was getting colder.

He raised his stiff neck and saw that it was almost dark.

Sang Zhengyi called everyone to stop, "It's getting dark, go back to the base!"

"What about these fruits?"

Sang Zhengyi said: "Come a few people and take them back to the villa with me, leaving only a small part in the car to take back."

Lin rubbed her extremely sore waist and wanted to find a place to sit for a while and rest.

As soon as she turned around, she met Qi Hua's eyes.

The latter didn't seem to expect that she would suddenly turn around. There was a flash of discomfort on his face, but he immediately put on a kind smile, as if it was just her imagination.

Lin looked at him expressionlessly, then turned back and continued to hammer her legs.

She believed her first feeling. The other party was still doubting her, but they hid it deeper.

But it doesn’t matter, what others think has nothing to do with you.

Her purpose was just to save some crystal cores and wait patiently for her daughter to come back.

Lin suddenly thought of what Boss Xia said today: save some food in case she is hungry.

The hand she was beating on her leg suddenly tightened——

Boss Xia found his daughter.

The daughter may be starving.
