Infinite Doomsday Survival System

Chapter 338 Huge Aloe Vera

Everything in front of me was too shocking.

Originally thought that there were only giant insects in the world, but now there is a huge aloe standing in the ruins of the city.

There were ruins blocking the line of sight before, so Tianlan and the others didn't notice.

Tian Lan, who had climbed to the top of the ruins, finally saw the shocking scene in front of him.

But now compared to the tall aloe, what shocked Chu Mosheng even more was that the serious Tian Lan actually made a joke at this time.

This shocked Chu Mosheng even more than seeing a huge aloe.

But Tian Lan felt nothing about it, and instead asked: "What's the matter, is there something on my face?"

Chu Mosheng shook his head subconsciously, and then said: "I feel that you are a little different from before."

"Is there? Illusion."

Perhaps it is indeed a little different. After stopping Chu Mosheng's words before, Tian Lan also felt a little bit afraid.

If you let your parents see what you are like now, they will definitely be angry.

Maybe he will whip himself with that feather duster.

In order not to make them angry, Tian Lan also started to make some changes, but the current changes are a little subtle.

But because it was too sudden, Chu Mosheng was startled, thinking that Tian Lan had eaten something bad.

But no matter how Tianlan changed, her inner feelings would not change.

Because Tian Lan is Tian Lan, she will not distance herself because of this change. On the contrary, she likes Tian Lan even more.

This kind of Tian Lan is a little more emotional than ideal.

But whether this sensibility, exactly what it is, is not known.

The subtle changes in Tianlan still made Chu Mosheng somewhat uncomfortable. Although they were subtle, Chu Mosheng could still feel them clearly.

But Tian Lan didn't care. For him, as long as he wanted to make a change, it would change at any time. It was not difficult.

It's just a matter of whether he wants to or not.

If Tian Lan hates this change, no matter how hard she tries, Tian Lan will not change in that direction.

However, sometimes Tian Lan prefers to be rational rather than emotional, because in this way, when encountering difficulties, she can calmly make judgments.

But it is this calmness that makes it easy for him to ignore many things.

Such as human feelings, and how other people feel.

And Tian Lan, who was beginning to worry about Chu Mosheng's feelings and what her parents thought, gradually recovered some human sensibility.

But after all, there are only a few, and how much it can change Tianlan depends on Tianlan herself.

But now Tian Lan cares more about the things in front of her than the changes.

If you're not mistaken, that huge plant should be aloe vera, and of course it could be agave. After all, there is almost no difference between the two from a distance.

And the point is not what kind of plant it is, but this plant, it must be too big.

I hadn't noticed it before, but now after climbing to the top of the ruins, I saw this plant, which was already more than ten meters high.

This is nothing, but when they were looking for aloe vera, such a big aloe vera appeared in front of them, so why don't people doubt it.

"What do you think?" Tian Lan asked Chu Mosheng.

At this moment, Chu Mosheng was still struggling in his heart, thinking about Tian Lan's changes, and did not hear Tian Lan's inquiry at all.

Tian Lan looked at Chu Mosheng, thinking that she might be hopeless.

Why do you always focus on unimportant things?
"Huh?" Chu Mosheng noticed Tian Lan's sad gaze, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just want to hear what you think of this plant."

The aloe was not too close to them, and the visual distance should be about three to four thousand meters.

Ruins of buildings more than ten meters high are everywhere, but this aloe stands out among the ruins, and it's hard not to notice it.

"Hmm..." Chu Mosheng looked at the aloe, and his brain kept running: "In short, it's suspicious. It's impossible for a plant like aloe to grow so big. Even if it could, it wouldn't be able to grow so big so quickly. Of course It may also have mutated."

After all, bugs all over the world are mutating now, and it is not impossible for plants to mutate accordingly.

But even so, Chu Mosheng still wants to talk about another possibility here.

"Of course, the possibility of bugs camouflaging cannot be ruled out."

After all, some insects are very good at camouflage, like flower praying mantises, who are clearly a mantis but can disguise themselves as a bright flower.

Not only that, the flower praying mantis can also imitate the fragrance of flowers. From the appearance and smell, it is impossible to tell that it is a praying mantis.

It is not impossible for an insect disguised as aloe to appear on the scene.

It's just that if that's the case, then this bug is too stupid.

Such a huge body, even disguised as an aloe, can be seen by ten people.

Bugs are not fools either. When they find that they cannot catch their prey or avoid natural enemies by disguising themselves as one kind of thing, they start to think of ways to disguise themselves as another kind of thing.

If you look at it this way, maybe that aloe is a real guy.

Of course, this is just Chu Mosheng's guess. As for whether it is the real aloe vera, no one can say for sure until it is confirmed.

After all, some bugs are really geniuses when it comes to camouflage.

After listening to Chu Mosheng's words, Tian Lan also thought for a while, and then asked: "Will the aloe get worms?"

"Of course it will. No matter what kind of plant it is, even if it is a highly poisonous plant, it will produce bugs."

Some insects are not afraid of the toxicity of plants, but will actively ingest the toxicity of plants to prevent natural enemies.

Even poisonous mushrooms can be infested by insects.

"However... Generally, the insects that grow on aloe vera are all insects like aphids. For predators, they are not even enough to get between the teeth, and there is no need to prey on them at all."

Rather than preying on these hungry aphids, it is faster and more efficient to go straight to the large insects.

"Then, is there such a possibility?" After hearing Chu Mosheng's words, Tian Lan also expressed her guess.

"Do you think it might be a kind of bug that has reached a symbiotic condition with the aloe?"

The worm needs the nutrition of the aloe, and the aloe also needs the worm, and then the two merge into one, and together they become so huge.

This is not impossible. In nature, some creatures will merge into one body after meeting certain conditions, and achieve the conditions of symbiosis, even without distinguishing each other.

"This possibility is not impossible, but it is very small. All the bugs I know are parasitic, and they continue to suck the nutrients of the aloe vera until the aloe withers. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they are insects that I don't know about."

After all, the number of insects in this world is too large, and humans have not yet discovered all insect species.

It is not uncommon for a new species to suddenly pop up now.

"Then let's go take a look."

"Eh?!" Hearing Tian Lan's words, Chu Mosheng was shocked: "You actually approached me proactively, I thought you would just ignore it."

If it was Tian Lan who didn't know the truth like that, he would definitely go around. Even if the other party was not in danger, he would not take the initiative to provoke him.

"Well, I'm somewhat curious, besides, don't you also want to meet new species of bugs?"

The reason why Tianlan decided to go there was because she felt that there should be no danger.

Now it seems that it is more likely that a certain kind of bug and aloe will achieve a symbiotic condition.

It needs aloe to provide nutrition, and aloe also needs it to resist pests, so the two have become huge together. This is not impossible, but this possibility is more likely.

After all, those hunters who can camouflage usually don't pretend to be aloe vera, but will pretend to be a more attractive existence, otherwise, they won't be able to hunt a single prey at all.

And insects that rely on camouflage to avoid natural enemies are even more impossible.

If they want to avoid natural enemies, they must disguise themselves as inconspicuous existences. How could they disguise themselves as such an eye-catching aloe?
So now it seems that the possibility of symbiosis is greater.

Tian Lan also wanted to see what kind of form the symbiotic existences lived in this world.

Chu Mosheng couldn't refuse Tian Lan's proposal at all.

As Tian Lan said, she also wanted to witness more unknown species, and also wanted to know what kind of existence the other party was.

Of course apart from these, Chu Mosheng still wants to go, if the other party is really aloe vera, then now Tianlan needs aloe vera to relieve the pain, so he has to go no matter what.

In this way, with Chu Mosheng's support, Tian Lan spent about an hour, and finally came to the aloe which was a thousand meters away.

They also encountered many ants on the way, but before the other party found themselves, they hid in advance, so it didn't take long to come here.

But on the way here, there were too many ants, more than any day before.

Although the size has not changed much, the ferocity, attack power, and corrosiveness of formic acid have all been upgraded to a higher level.

Fortunately, these are just ordinary ants. If there is another bullet ant, Lan will have to consider whether to change the place that day.

Fortunately, they came here safe and sound, and did not encounter any great danger.

After coming here, Tian Lan can now clearly judge that this is a real aloe, not a disguised one by other insects.

Well, now the possibility of symbiosis has been realized.

Since it is a symbiotic relationship, then this aloe vera must have its dangers, so don't be careless.

However, until they were completely close to the aloe, and even touched the aloe, nothing happened.

Not even the symbiote's means of defense were seen.
