Ancient Gene [End Times]

"Then how did you come back?" He Siming asked.

"I escaped back." Liu Ying's voice was a little desperate, "We had a meal with the surname Gao, and he wanted to know about the situation in the botanical garden with me. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. At this time, my family and I There was something wrong with Liangdu. We lived in the greenhouse for a long time, and for some reason, we were parasitized by the seeds of flytrap. It began to devour our bodies for nutrition. At that time, we all lost consciousness, and the surname Gao thought we hadn’t If you save them, throw us away."

Liu Ying's voice suddenly became more crying: "We are covered with flytrap clips, and those monsters dare not approach us. We were tortured like this for three full days. I don't know why, but I started to follow These Flytraps have exchanged minds. In the end, they reached a certain consensus. It didn’t kill me, and even obeyed my command. It parasitized on my body and helped me fight. What we eat can be Absorb nutrients from each other. But Jialiang... When I woke up, Jialiang had already been eaten."

In this troubled world, such a fateful mandarin duck is never an exception.Many people die every day, and there are countless tragedies.

Liu Ying continued: "The Flytrap that parasitized on me may have become more powerful because of me. It ate the Flytrap of that Jialiang. The person named Gao found me again, and he was hypocritical. He exchanged greetings with me and persuaded me to join his group. I was desperate at the time, but after being persuaded by him, I really joined some group with him. Only later did I know that the so-called group was a A group of traitors who flatter foreigners. They heard from me that there are killer plants growing wildly in this botanical garden. They are going to take the mutated plants here out and kill everyone in this city and even more."

"How can traitors be so insane?" Generally, betraying the country is for profit, and attacking everyone indiscriminately is a terrorist attack.

Liu Ying said: "They want to lower the prestige of the government. In order to better develop their own organization. And they seem to have to deal with a group of outsiders, saying what documents they want to get. Because I have a special mutation, they want to pull me Enter the core. I pretended to agree at the beginning. After I brought them in here, I found that the Venus flytrap would not attack me, and other carnivorous plants dare not touch me. I took advantage of this convenience to kill them all, but that The one surnamed Gao still escaped."

"Then you stayed here?" He Siming asked.

Liu Ying nodded: "I'm afraid that they will come in and release the mutated plants here, and I'm also afraid that the plants that grow wildly here will spread outside. Fortunately, it's getting colder and colder, and their growth slows down. The grass is planted on the shelf of my main grass, and then I can control it precisely. I started to control a large number of Venus flytrap step by step. I killed those other mutant plants that can eat people. There are more and more mutant animals that can eat here. Fewer and fewer, I am exhausted from dealing with those mutated plants, that Gao. But he sent people in again and again. He wanted to take the seeds out here, and he also wanted to take me out. Last time he came, he even sprayed gasoline inside, lit There was a fire."

So the ashes under the snow on the edge of the botanical garden were written by the surname Gao.

Liu Ying continued: "He wanted to use fire to force me to submit. I was originally staying in the greenhouse. I had no choice but to be forced here by him. At that time, because of the influence of the surname Gao, other man-eating plants began to fight back. Here In the tower, I have lost the source of nutrition from the soil, so I can only use myself as nutrition, and let my clips devour other plants as much as possible to obtain energy. Until now, it has become this neither human nor ghost."

A woman can do this to prevent traitors from coming in to obtain seeds, and not to be used by villains.Let me ask, in this world, how many women can give up their youth and change themselves into this look just to protect the yard?

"You leave with us now, there are many mutated animals outside. The nutrition you get from plants can communicate with each other, and you will recover soon!"

But Liu Ying shook her head and said, "I can go out anytime I want. In fact, if it wasn't for guarding the mutated plants here and preventing them from going out to harm people, I would have died a long time ago. I have been thinking recently that this world is too It’s terrible, Jialiang is also dead. I don’t know anyone in this world. But there are people who want to use me to deal with the country that raised me. I’m not smart, and I hate trouble. Die here, It's happiness for me."

He Siming opened his mouth to persuade, but looked at Liu Ying's face where the skeleton could be seen inside, and swallowed the words again.

From the mutation to the present, maybe Liu Ying's life is worse than death every day.Loved ones die, loved ones die.All I met was bad people, and then I locked myself in here, spending so long with man-eating plants.Not to mention an ordinary girl, even a person with the best psychological quality is crazy.

Liu Ying said: "Besides, I need to suppress the plants here. If you want to cut the weeds and roots, you must clean up the plants here. After you leave here, you must burn this tower! I will be in the tower Trap all man-eating plants. I will never, never let a single seed fly out of here!"

Downstairs, the plants of different colors that He Siming saw were the man-eating plants that Liu Ying had worked so hard to deal with these days.

Once these plants grow wildly and take root, they will form a certain scale in a short time.Such terrifying digestive juices and survivability are definitely not what people today can deal with.

So, Liu Ying is a great person.

Tiangui nodded: "We understand."

At this moment, Qin An's voice suddenly appeared in He Siming's mind.

"Si Ming! They are gathering people to prepare ground explosives. It looks like they are going to attack by force. Our side has already started attacking them, so it's not a big problem. But there must be a big problem inside, you guys evacuate as soon as possible!"

He Siming had a premonition early on, and quickly replied to Qin An in his mind: "We have no problem here, and we have seen that plant mutant. It's just that this person wants to die, and we can't take it out. There are mutant plants that eat people everywhere. She wants to die with these mutated plants. The people outside are planning to take the seeds of the mutated plants here to harm people! They don't have any good ones, kill them all!"

"Understood! Is there anything else I can do?" Qin An returned.

"It's okay, you pay attention to safety."

He Siming said to Tian Gui: "Those people want to make a move. Now that Anzi and the others are dealing with them outside, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Even if six people can't deal with them, they can still go to the army to recruit soldiers.

Listening to what they said, Liu Ying sighed: "After all, time is running out."

Qiu Ling said: "Maybe I'm being ruthless. But please listen to me. If you want to die, I won't stop you. But what you know so far is indeed of extremely high value. Maybe all of these It is far less valuable than yourself, but if you say more about what you know now, it is tantamount to leaving more things in this world."

Liu Ying was in a better mood. Looking at the still gray sky outside the window, she said, "As far as I know, there are five types of caterpillar plants, and here are four types. Creams. I have completely wiped out insect traps, but pitcher plants and bottle plants are very powerful. In addition, I have been severely injured by that surnamed Gao several times, and I am powerless."

A clip was stretched towards He Siming, and it was slowly opened. Inside the digestive juice lay a glass bottle that would not be corroded.

He Siming reached out and took it out, taking only the upper part out of the digestive juice, and then rinsed the digestive juice with water.

Inside the bottle, there is liquid, which seems to be digestive juice, but there are some seed-like things in the digestive juice.

"These are the seeds I collected. They will not be decomposed by the digestive juice, and they will not germinate only if they are soaked in the digestive juice." Liu Ying said, "In addition, I also found that some animals grow a A very strange crystal. After eating my clip, I will gain several times more energy. It is precisely because I ate a few crystals that I can persist until now."

Several people were also taken aback.Not long ago, they also discovered that strange crystal, but they haven't found the usage yet.

Along the way, I collected a few sporadically, but I didn't know how to use it, so I didn't take it seriously.

He Siming turned his head, lifted his clothes and opened the small bag hidden inside, took out a box, and poured out a few small crystals like miniature marbles.

After tidying up his clothes, He Siming came back and showed Liu Ying a few beads: "Is this it?"

Liu Ying only looked at the bead, and she became more energetic: "You guys also found this?"

Tiangui shook his head: "We don't know how to use it. We just thought it grew after mutation, so we collected it."

No one dared to try too much.

"Can you give it to me?"

A large clamp stretched out and opened.He Siming threw all the beads in his hand into it, and the clip closed and began to secrete digestive juice.

Liu Ying didn't say a word, but the people on the fifth floor became extremely active.

While the clamp was moving around, several people were squeezed to the periphery, completely enveloping Liu Ying.

He Siming could hear some voices inside keenly, but he couldn't tell what it was, but looking at the movements of these clips, they seemed to have received rich fertilizer and irrigation, and they were extremely comfortable.

After a few minutes, those clips fell apart again, and Liu Ying reappeared, looking much better.

Although he was still skinny, he could already see the colors of some people.The skin on the face has the color it should have, and even has a little blush.

Her complexion looked much better, and even without hair, her facial features could still be seen.

"I feel much better now." Liu Ying laughed this time, and finally she was not so scary. "With the energy of these few beads, I can 100% guarantee that every seed here will be buried in the flames."

She found vitality again on her body, much better than the skeleton man just now.Such a girl can leave here with just one step.With her current abilities, she believes that she can live longer than anyone else.

He Siming uttered another piece of their persuasion: "Perhaps, your lover wants to see you live. Including your relatives."

"You are not locals. Where are you going?" Liu Ying asked.

"North... northeast." He Siming didn't lie to her.

Liu Ying smiled and said: "It's very far away. You have traveled thousands of miles and worked so hard just to survive, right?"

They do have important missions on them, but at the end of the day, they just want to survive.

Seeing He Siming nodding, Liu Ying said with a smile: "We are no different. I stay here, counting the minutes and seconds every day. I deal with those beasts and these people-eating flowers and plants in order to die. You survive , I beg death. Seeing the opposite, they are actually the same."

No one has experienced Liu Ying's past, and no one knows the torture Liu Ying suffered in her heart.Her life is her own, and her path is her own choice.

He Siming and others have already persuaded Liu Ying to face life and death so calmly, this is her fate.

But Liu Ying said: "I know, I've said it all. Since the man surnamed Gao has already started, let's start ours too. Now you go downstairs and store a barrel of gasoline in the greenhouse on the far right. You guys On the clips on the first floor, pour gasoline and set them on fire. I will do the rest."

Liu Ying was upstairs alone, and this was the last thing she would do for this world.

Liu Yingming knew that the result of doing so, but at this moment she was smiling.For her, imminent death is not a terrible thing, but a luxury of happiness.

"It's hard for mutants to die," Qiu Ling said.

Although I don't know the characteristics of plant mutants, since they can absorb the nutrients of parasitic plants, they also have the ability to restore plants.You must know that plants are much stronger than animals in healing wounds.

"Of course I can do this. But I forgot." Liu Ying touched her slender neck with her fingers, pinched the skin on the left side, and pulled out a bloody rhizome from the flesh. With a little fibrous root, red blood hanging on the white, it looks a bit dazzling, "This is a rhizome of my parasitic plant. It won't wither, but it won't grow back either. Maybe, you can hand it over in the future For those who understand, study it."

Several people went downstairs, and He Siming walked last.Before going downstairs, I looked back.Among the clips, Liu Ying sat on the big clip and moved to the window.She looked at the sky outside the window, wondering what she was thinking.

This is the first time He Siming has seen, who can face the end of his life with such a calm and even joyful mood.

Go all the way down to the first floor.The Flytraps in this tower are all controlled by Liu Ying and did not actively attack.He took the initiative to reach out to touch the clip, and the clip obediently let him touch it. How could he still have the fierce look before?

In this way, He Siming and others felt a little embarrassed when they remembered what they had done to them when they went upstairs.

While the others waited, He Siming and Tian Gui went to the greenhouse that Liu Ying had mentioned and dug out the gasoline.It was also at this time that Qin An's voice sounded in He Siming's mind again: "It's basically solved. Where are you?"

"It's okay. We're going to burn down the tower here. Just like the man said, we can't let the human-eating plants here grow outside." He Siming said.

"I understand. Then I'll clean up my tail again, and I'll go find you." Qin An said.

"it is good."

The two went back with the forty liters of gasoline, and then entered the first floor, and saw those clips lying on the ground one by one, and there were a few clips coming down from the upstairs, and they found a gap to lie down. A green carpet was laid on the ground.

Although it was agreed before, but looking at the clips lying in rows at this time, it is a bit overwhelming to pour gasoline.

He Siming reached out and touched a flytrap clip more than half a meter long.The biggest function of them lying here is to start the fire, to abandon themselves, to let the flames spread, and then burn the uncontrolled mutated plants including seeds.

Of course, once the flame is ignited, all creatures in the entire tower cannot escape.

"Let me come." Tian Gui stretched out his hand.

After all, He Siming didn't do this. Tian Gui has rich experience in performing tasks, at least better than him in pressure and endurance.

He Siming shook his head, unscrewed the gasoline can, walked around the first floor, and poured all the gasoline on it.

Tian Gui found a branch from the outside, picked up some fallen leaves, made a small fire on the ground, and then lit the branch.

In the case of sufficient oxygen, the flame burns very rapidly.After igniting one end of the branch, the sky ghost stood up the branch, and he could see the flame burning continuously downward.

Everyone gathered at the door and looked at each other.

Tian Gui directly threw the burning branch in his hand into it.Just as the branch was about to fall on a clip, a sea of ​​flames ignited instantly.

The heat wave swept across, and several people walked a few steps away before raising their heads.The open window on the third floor was closed, but a window on the fifth floor was opened.

Liu Ying was looking out of the window, looked down at them, and even waved and smiled at them.

She is really too thin, but at this moment, she looks so beautiful.

With the help of oxygen, the flame spread extremely fast.

Several stems and leaves protruded from the window where Liu Ying was, and then branched and grew clips at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally wrapped the entire tower.After the first layer was wrapped, a second layer grew from Liu Ying.

The flame inside the first floor spread to the outside, burning a layer of Flytraps wrapped by Liu Ying outside the tower.

The flame burned higher and higher, and went straight to the fifth floor where Liu Ying was.

"The flytrap should have a high moisture content, how could it burn so fast?" Baiyu asked strangely.

"Who knows." Qiu Ling said, "This fire was proposed by herself, maybe she has something to do."

When Qin An arrived, the flame had just reached the fifth floor.The billowing smoke made everything glow red.

The hazy sky was finally opened by the sun.The sun was shining, just falling on the woman who was waiting at the window.

Qin An glanced, and the woman's body was flushed red by the flames, and the sun cast a golden light on her body, as if she was wearing a bright red wedding dress.

Liu Ying felt the heat of the flames and looked at the long-awaited sunshine.The smile on his face remained.He looked at the few people under the tower and waved to them.

"Goodbye."

These are the last three words she left in the world, but only she can hear them.

Inside the tower, those uncontrolled mutated plants sensed danger and were rampaging.The clip ignited by the flames rushed forward desperately, passing the flames from his body to them.

Every plant and every seed was not spared, and they were all buried in this sea of ​​fire.

Liu Ying used the beads in the body of the mutated monster that He Siming gave him to grow countless plants to ensure that the fire was big enough.When the last mutated plant was also ignited by the flames, Liu Ying's final mission was also completed.

He Siming jumped onto the treetop and looked into the window. Liu Ying glanced at him and smiled.

At that moment, the skin on Liu Ying's body festered instantly, but it melted into the digestive juice in an instant.

Such a girl who just looked like a human being just melted away.

It turns out that someone can be so happy in the face of death.

Liu Ying was the first girl they met who wanted to die.But also a dead great girl.

No one knew how much she had been looking forward to being married in a wedding dress, but at this moment, she was finally able to meet the person she loved and the person who loved her.

Qin An jumped up to the treetop with him and put one hand on He Siming's shoulder.

"I'm really afraid of death," He Siming said.

"Then let's live together." Qin An said.

But He Siming said: "Together. We must be together. You have to know. If you die, I will also feel that I have no attachment to this world."

Qin An didn't speak, still digesting He Siming's sudden confession.

He Siming looked at Qin An and said seriously: "From birth to death, I regard you as the meaning of my existence."

"Your life can be very meaningful." Qin An said.

He Siming: "But you are the one who gives meaning to these things."

Qin An shook his head and smiled: "I lost to you."

"I am serious."

"Let's go, the matter is settled, we still have to hurry." Qin An turned over and jumped off the treetop.

He Siming was a little disappointed that he didn't get any response.Standing on the tree and looking at Qin An.

Qin An was helpless: "Okay, I promise you, I won't die, even if I die, I will take you with me, that's fine."

He Siming smiled, and also turned over and jumped down.

Everyone who was stuffed with dog food: "..."

"Where's Dichlorvos?" Sky Ghost asked.

"Explain the situation to the troops, and come back after the explanation." Qin An replied.

"Let's go back." The flames would not go out for a while, but they still had to hurry.

Bao Xinyu didn't know what happened yet, but looking at the clips that were ignited and falling, he was a little worried: "The fire won't burn outside to cause a fire, right?"

"No." He Siming said, "The outside of the botanical garden was lit once by that surnamed Gao. Even if the fire burns out from the tower, the fire will go out without fuel."

The one surnamed Gao couldn't even dream of it.He deliberately wanted to harm people, but because of him, it was ironic that the fire here would not go out and hurt others.

Everyone left, with flames blazing behind them.
