Ancient Gene [End Times]

"You're lying." Xiao Sun said bluntly.

Tian Gui raised a hand, the nails suddenly grew two inches, and then the whole arm became slender and smooth: "You better be responsible for every word you say."

The man glanced at Xiao Sun, and said helplessly, "She's not my sister, but she's about the same. She's a real plant mutant, and now even the country definitely wants it! You believe me!"

Tian Gui looked at Xiao Sun, Xiao Sun said strangely: "This time he didn't lie."

That is to say, the missing person is really a plant mutant.I originally thought that cross-species evolution was already very unbelievable, and it even directly crossed animals and plants.

It might sound like nothing.But you should know that animal cells are completely different from plant cells, and the operation process of the whole body is also completely different. How can they exist in the body of one species at the same time?

No matter what this person's heart is, if such a strange mutant is really trapped, then it is absolutely necessary for them to find out.

"where is it?"

"It's the botanical garden over there! It's full of human-eating plants! We've tried a lot of methods, but none of them work! Moreover, those plants will secrete a deadly acid, and they will rot when touched. The conditions are not good now. Can't find them?" When you get to the doctor, basically everyone you touch is dead!"

This situation sounds dangerous.Before setting off, Qin An had encountered a mutated Venus flytrap, and a large piece of the blue cat rotted away after being bitten.At the beginning of the mutation, the Flytrap already had such power. Who knew how terrifying it would evolve after it mutated for so long?

"What kind of plants are they?" Qiu Ling asked.

"It's all those plants that eat bugs. That kind of big trap! There's also that pitcher plant. There are also long tentacles to catch people and eat them! I heard that there used to be a house dedicated to raising those animals. I didn't expect After the mutation, those plants directly occupied the place, and the monsters ran in and were eaten."

"Why is that plant mutant inside?"

The man looked a bit embarrassed, and finally sighed: "I still have to ask her herself, we are also very impatient. The key is now that this matter is known by our hostile group. They want to grab the land of the botanical garden, and then think about it." Way, take her as my own! I really have no choice but to ask you for help."

Qiu Ling sneered: "Who knows who you snatched the territory from."

The man's face changed, and he said immediately: "No matter what, we should rescue her first. She is a plant mutant, and it seems that there is a way to prevent those human-eating plants from attacking her, but she can't get out. We all take those There is no way to eat people and plants, and many people have died."

Xiao Sun walked up to Tian Gui and said in a low voice, "He has murderous intentions towards us, but what he says is the truth."

Having experienced so much, it is not a strange thing to meet someone with murderous intentions.If you can save a plant mutant, it's worth the risk.

I'm afraid that if they go to save people, what will this murderous person do outside.

Tian Gui looked at Qin An and He Siming, asking for their opinions.

Qin An had a deep impression of the mutated Flytrap that he met back then, and he also wanted to see what a plant mutant looks like.

"What will the plant mutant look like after it mutates?"

The man wondered: "I'm not sure, it might be the kind of trap that eats people! I've seen a trap stick out from her back and eat a monster!"

It happened to be a Mutant Flytrap.

Qin An's curiosity was even stronger, and he nodded at Tian Gui.

Even if this person has murderous intentions, a few of them can leave a few people outside.There are troops stationed nearby, even if there are few people, it is enough to deal with ordinary people.As long as the situation here is not right, people outside can go to rescue soldiers immediately, and as long as the army arrives, no amount of calculations will be of any use to him!

"Let's think about it here, you can go, if we decide to go, we will go by ourselves." Tiangui said to the human.

After saying that, Tian Gui didn't wait for his reply, but turned his head and directed the car to drive to a more open place on the other side, and everyone gathered around to discuss this matter.

"I think we should go and see. Since there is no lie, then the plant mutants are real. If they can be rescued, they can be handed over to the surrounding army on the spot."

"I'm afraid they have some kind of moth outside!" He Siming said.

"So if we go, we must at least divide into two groups, and the combat power should be evened out. Make sure that the combat power inside and outside is about the same." Tiangui said.

Yinhu didn't quite agree and said: "We only have eleven people in total, and we will split up and disperse the fighting power. What if there is something wrong with the rescue team?"

"Since that person has murderous intentions and is a member of an organization, the danger outside may be greater than inside. There are at least some plants inside, even if they are powerful in fighting, but they don't have the IQ of animals. As long as you master the method, it is not difficult to deal with them. But It's different outside. Humans with human brains are much more terrifying than those monsters." Heavenly Ghost said.

"I want to go in." Qin An said.

"No." Tian Gui refused, "You are mainly in charge of communication, and you can receive news from the inside at any time outside and adapt accordingly! The outside can decide whether the people inside are safe or not, you must be outside!"

Qin An opened his mouth, but swallowed back the words.He is now the most mutated, but it doesn't mean that those with a high degree of mutated will really be at the forefront.Backup is equally important.

And he can communicate with anyone anytime, anywhere, and he is indeed more valuable outside.

He Siming looked at Qin An's embarrassed look, and just said, "I..."

"You go in like me! Felines have extremely strong reflexes, and they are ideal for attacking and dodging. White Fish and Black Cow go in with me. Then...Qiu Ling, you go in with me too. Xiao Sun Stay outside and command the mutated animals to fight. Five people go in, and the remaining six play by ear outside."

This is probably the first time that so few people have been dispatched among all the people.

Tiangui thinks things are more comprehensive and has more experience, so there is nothing wrong with listening to his arrangements.

After the arrangements were made, Qin An first said to He Siming, "Be careful."

"You too!"

The two are no longer fighting together, caring about each other but helpless.

"You guys wait until the war is over before getting tired of it." Qiu Ling said, "I'm still more curious about that mutant. I've never heard of people mutating in the direction of plants."

This is the place that everyone cares about the most.

And something that Qiu Ling has never heard of, it is really a big strange thing in the last days.

Bao Xinyu laughed and said, "I'm more curious about how it mutated. After all, the direction of mutation is all animals."

"You'll know when you bring it out." Ke Chenguang pulled Bao Xinyu to prevent him from following Tiangui and the others out of curiosity.

The car drove back to the hotel where I stayed last night, and stopped in the parking space there, leaving Xiao Sun to watch the car and the mutated animals, waiting for orders at any time.

The silver fox was lying in ambush around the botanical garden, acting according to circumstances, while Dichlorvos went directly to the nearby army to say hello, and at the same time tuned to them on the walkie-talkie, sending out troops immediately if there was any change.

But the two mutants, Ke Chenguang and Bao Xinyu, were still bricks, moving wherever they needed to go.

After being allocated in this way, the others performed their duties. Tiangui took the lead and led the four of them to the botanical garden according to the map.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the botanical garden, I found that there were already many people standing there.He Siming quickly found that the man who was looking for them before was standing among them.

The man also saw the ghost, and hurriedly ran over: "I said you won't lie, it's really great that you can come."

Knowing that he has murderous intentions, Tian Gui couldn't welcome him, and frowned, "Didn't you say you don't need it?"

The man's smile froze, and he said again: "You can't say that, you don't know the exact location, do you? We have rescued a few times before, although it was unsuccessful, but we know the exact location. I will guide you."

"Just tell me the location, we will find it by ourselves." How could Tiangui leave a time bomb by his side.

In fact, the ghost refused, but the man was relieved, afraid that he would go back on his word and hurriedly said: "Actually, it's easy to find. There is only one tower in the botanical garden! It was built a few years ago to attract customers, and it was completed a few years ago. The tower has On the fifth floor, she is in that tower. It is not clear which floor is on. There used to be a lot of flowers in that tower, but now they are basically withered, and only those plants that eat people are left! That kind of big trap is the most. Before we went in, there were a hundred or so people, and we stopped there. Later, less than ten people came out, and six of them died of infection."

It is precisely because of this that they no longer dare to go in easily.

"Didn't respond to the army?" Sky Ghost asked.

"I have contacted, but they are too busy with other things, so this matter can only be put aside temporarily."

Lie, if the army knows that there is a special plant mutant here, how can it be possible to ignore its danger?

But since this person can kill them who are wearing military uniforms, it means that they have a problem with the army, and what's more, they are also traitors who have united with foreigners.

But right now, it is still necessary to get rid of that plant mutant as soon as possible.Regardless of whether her surname is Jiang or Wang, she should be brought out and sent to the army for protection, and then study the secrets of plant mutation.

Qin An was standing on a tree not far away, watching the situation here.Tian Gui and the others didn't waste any time and entered the botanical garden directly.

Before entering the botanical garden, He Siming glanced back at Qin An and nodded slightly.

No matter how curious Qin An is, he is not a person who can't figure it out.Turn your head and eavesdrop around to see if you can hear anything useful.

There are almost no plants on the periphery of the botanical garden, and the ground is silvery white after snowfall.

He Siming took two steps forward, swept away the snow on the ground with his feet and took a look. Under the snowflakes was a piece of gray and black ashes.

Tian Gui walked over and said, "They tried to attack with fire."

"Aren't you afraid of burning all the people you want to save to death?" Bai Yu frowned.

Qiu Ling said: "They may not really want to save people."

"Not saving people?" Hei Niu was puzzled.

"I even suspect that people were forced here by them, or that woman escaped here. That person said that since she will not be hurt by those mutated plants, it should be an easy thing to escape , Plants don’t have the concept of besieging but not attacking.”

"Then why did he ask us to rescue her? You know, if we rescue her, we won't hand them over to them no matter what." Hei Niu said.

"This also explains why they want to kill us." He Siming said, "After we take them out, they will kill us while we are not paying attention, and then take that woman away."

"I doubt it, they might want us to die here." Heavenly Ghost said, "I suspect they have something to do with foreigners."

"If that's the case, if we die here, they won't be able to get the documents."

"Who knows if there will be extreme people who would rather kill us than see us complete the task." He Siming said.

"No matter how you think about it, it's still a guess. Let's take a step at a time. Now that the weather is so cold, the vitality of the plants should be greatly reduced." Qiu Ling shrank her coat.Although the coat is relatively thick, it will still feel cold after staying in an environment of several degrees below zero for a long time.It's just that I have important things to do right now, so I don't have time to care about keeping warm.

"Anyway, don't take it lightly." Tian Gui touched Wei Chong on his body, the fingers of both hands were mutated, feeling the cold wind blowing through the fingers, his eyes were extremely calm.

He Siming listened to the movements around him, and felt the undercurrent surging under the calm.He heard the stirring sounds of those mutated plants.

In front of it is a small forest garden, under the white snow, there is still green that cannot be concealed, still full of vitality.

No one knows why the green plants survive in such cold weather.Even tropical plants like the Venus flytrap are still able to survive and even attack humans.

The cold wind blows, a little cold.He Siming moved his body, covering his body with a thin layer of fluff.This kind of fluff is the most warm, so that he no longer fears the cold of winter.Then he took off his coat and handed it to Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling glanced at He Siming whose limbs and skin were covered with yellow fluff, thanked him, and took the clothes to put on.

The mutation direction of white fish and black cattle should also be reptiles. In order to avoid being affected by cold weather after mutation, they can only try not to mutate as much as possible.On the contrary, although Tiangui is a fish, its cold resistance is not bad, and it can bear this temperature.

Continue to walk two steps inside, and a few lush trees block most of the sight.He Siming jumped onto the big tree and looked around, and quickly locked on to the target: "The tower is over there."

The tower was built according to the ancient style, and the color is still very new.It is indeed just built in recent years.

Now botanical gardens all over the country have begun to have their own characteristics to attract attention, and the flow of visitors also determines what kind of rare plants the botanical gardens can buy.

This is a city-level county, and it is already a great thing to have a botanical garden of this scale.

He Siming rarely goes out and doesn't know much about it, but such a place should be very popular before the end of the world.

"There are a few flytraps ahead, they can move, be careful!" He Siming said.

Baiyu pulled the semi-automatic manual wooden box off the safety guard, ready to shoot forward at any time.He Siming somersaulted down from the tree, walked a few steps forward, and heard a movement around him, and a flytrap clip on his side bit him empty.

He Siming held the stem under the Flytrap clip with one hand, and clawed the other. His nails grew a few centimeters, and he cut off the Flytrap clip with a strong grab.

Soon, another flytrap struck.

Tiangui grabbed a flytrap stalk and cut it off with force.

The flytrap smelled sweet, but the liquid dripping from the clip fell to the ground, but a corrosive blue smoke floated up.

The concentration and corrosiveness of this digestive juice should not be underestimated.

"Pay attention to your own safety, don't rush for quick success, attack safely!" Tiangui said.

Qiu Ling pointed at a clip, squinted her eyes slightly and used the power of the jade tablet, and the clip withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It works!" He Siming beamed with joy.

But Qiu Ling frowned: "It's not right!"

He Siming took a few steps back, kicked and broke two clip stems, and ran to Qiu Ling: "What's wrong?"

"Look at the ground!" Qiu Ling pointed at the withered pinch on the ground.

After the clip fell to the ground, it was not completely dry, perhaps because of the digestive juice, the withered clip quickly rotted away.But the ice and snow melted in the rotten pool, and leaves grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then took the top of the leaves to produce small clips.

After the clip withers, a new clip will grow in the same place!

He Siming went to look at other clips that had been kicked off. Fortunately, those clips were only digested by their own digestive juices, and no new plants grew.

"what happened?"

"I don't know." How could Qiu Ling know, "But my jade token didn't get the vitality of the withered clip. In other words, the vitality of the clip after withering gave these new small clips. As long as these small clips get enough nutrition, it will become a new clump of Venus flytrap."

Flytraps can grow many clips from one rhizome, turning from one into a ball, which is not a good deal.

That is to say, Qiu Ling's jade token can no longer be used, otherwise it will really change from one to the other.

"That's right." Qiu Ling said, "You can try it, find the root of the Venus flytrap, compact that piece of land and destroy its rhizome! Plants can consume a lot of energy to move so violently. Now they don't have Animals eat food sources to supplement their nutrition, and the only thing left is to get it from the land!"

It stands to reason that the biggest consumption of plants should be growth, flowering, and fruiting. The reason why carnivorous plants can eat meat is that the reason why they evolved this ability at the beginning is that there is no way to obtain enough nutrients in the soil, so they start to eat meat. The direction of their own hunting.

However, generally carnivorous plants eat people, only for small insects, and occasionally there are other species such as small frogs.And if the object is too large, it will cause them indigestion, so if they cannot digest it for a certain period of time, they will let the prey go.

And the combat power of the evolved carnivorous plants has been significantly enhanced.Not only has it become larger in size, but its digestive juices have also increased hundreds of times.

However, energy is always relative. It can evolve to such a terrifying level, and the energy it needs to consume is also terrifying.There may still be creatures in the early stage, but so far, this area of ​​animals is extinct, and the occasional insect passing by can only be a drop in the bucket.The only source of nutrition then is the soil.

He Si understood clearly, turned his head and jumped to the nearest tree, and followed the clip stem of the Venus flytrap to find the root.

The branches grew so fast that it was very easy for He Siming to use his light body to shuttle between the trees.

Soon the root of a Venus flytrap was found.

The rhizomes are outside the greenhouse, and they apparently mutated before taking root and growing outside.He Siming narrowed his eyes and concentrated on looking at the land at the root of the Flytrap, his eyebrows frowned, and the land sank by [-] centimeters in an instant.

The roots of the Venus Flytrap were severely injured due to the extrusion of the soil, and the whole plant also felt the crisis and danced wildly, and it became even more reckless against human attacks.

The sky ghost jumped back two or three meters, turned around and shook a few wooden bins, breaking the leaves and stems of several flytraps.That flytrap lost a few more big clips, completely cut off the source of nutrition, and soon, under the huge nutrient consumption, the whole plant lost its vitality.

He Siming glanced at Qiu Ling with a smile on his face.But the smile didn't last long.The Venus Flytrap, which was visibly sluggish, had just retracted the remaining few small clips, and a few large clips suddenly protruded from nowhere. The red long thorns on the big clips were dense and hard, like indestructible teeth.Several big traps besieged the poor plant, and within a few seconds, the plant that had just been defeated was eaten up by several big traps.

No one knows which plant extended those clips, or several plants came together to share a share.

It's just that the plants cannibalize the same species, which makes people look creepy.

I thought that the cannibalism of animals was scary enough, but plants like this are even more infiltrating.

They have evolved from ordinary plants basking in the sun to cannibalism, and now, even their own kind are not spared.

He Siming frowned in disgust, but Tian Gui said, "Continue in the same way!"

Although it is uncomfortable to look at, it is a good thing for them to use similar methods to let them digest themselves internally and reduce the base number of clamps.

Even if they devour their own kind to become stronger, as long as their number decreases, no matter how powerful they are, it will not be difficult for them to deal with.

He Siming continued to look for the next target among the trees, and then found that the snow in front of him was a little weird.The front, where there should be grass, is mostly flat.But the height of the snow is very wrong, there are some places where the snow is irregular and a little low.

In normal times, no one would care, but now a little negligence could be fatal.

"Heavenly ghost! There is something wrong with the snow in front, and the snow is sinking in some places."

Tian Gui walked over in a few steps, solved a few big traps that came, and looked at the position He Siming pointed to.

Then he drew his knife and cut off a flytrap clip.The clip he picked was as big as a hug, and it looked like it could bite a person's upper body into it.

It's not light either.Tian Gui mutated the muscles in his arms, and then threw his arms into the distance, directly to a place where the snow fell.

After the flytrap clip was cut off, the digestive juice inside began to corrode the body uncontrollably. The moment it fell on the sunken place, the snow suddenly scattered and the clip sank directly.And next to that place, snowflakes flew without warning, and a piece of green leafy plant turned up and was buckled in the place where the snow had sunk, as if to prevent the trap from escaping.
