Chapter 203
After landing in the nearby city, Ni Yangzhou jumped down from the plane by holding onto the side door beam with one hand, and tightly hugged the man who had been waiting on the roof for a long time.
"Big brother..."
"you……"
Ni Yangzhou's heart was about to explode. He rushed over without thinking for a moment. Only when he really hugged that familiar back did he remember what he was about to say.
"Aren't you still recuperating..."
Yin Jiazhu was wearing a black special training suit. He bent over and hugged his lover, his whole back bent, his brows lowered, his tall nose buried in the young man's wet neck. He didn't even have time to speak, but just took a deep breath.
"No, don't smell it." Ni Yangzhou wanted to push him away immediately. He had just escaped from the water, so his body must not smell good. However, Yin Jiazhu tightened his grip immediately, and his fingertips left deep lines on the other's clothes.
"I told you I'd come find you."
"I thought--"
Ni Yangzhou did not continue speaking, he thought he was referring to the next world, and at this moment there were still questions lingering in his mind.
"Brother, your body..."
Yesterday, I was so weak that I had to use crutches to get out of bed, but today I came here in a flying vehicle...
"never mind."
Ni Yangzhou thought of a possibility and immediately looked back. Mu Ying put on a coat and got off the plane with the help of Wang Shi. Now, except for mental fatigue from the torture day and night for several days, her body has recovered as before.
Seeing the young man's gaze, Mu Ying nodded calmly.
"You--" Ni Yangzhou turned around, and was so angry that he wanted to punch the man, but before he stretched out his hand, considering the other person's physical condition, his hand turned into a palm, and his fingertips only lightly touched the other person's chest.
"——This is really nonsense."
Yin Jiazhu did not regret using the blood of those Mu Yings to develop the vaccine. As long as it could allow him to keep up with the young men, it would be worth it even if he died after using it, not to mention the side effects.
Ni Yangzhou looked at the man with eyes full of dependence and could not utter a word of blame.
"The side effects,"
"You won't die." Yin Jiazhu hugged Ni Yangzhou's waist like a spoiled child.
"I will die if I can't see you."
Ni Yangzhou closed his mouth.
The wind on the top floor of a tall building is strong, but it blows the young people's hearts soft and fluffy.
The rays of rosy clouds are unaware of the sufferings of the world and they just spread their beauty wantonly.
Ni Yangzhou closed his eyes tightly and whispered:
"It's you who's behind it."
-------------------------------------
Several people sat together on the roof of a tall building, gathering together to hold a meeting with Commander Bai.
Mu Ying sat in the middle with a gloomy look on her face. The empty echo was transmitted through the communicator to the conference hall thousands of miles away.
"Aquatic plants are attached to woody roots. They penetrate my body to extract nutrients. When they find that they are disturbed too much in deep water, they actively transfer me to shallow water channels."
At the quiet conference table on the other side of the communicator, researchers and leaders with frowns on their faces listened attentively.
"Although I'm not sure, I suspect that many plants have undergone secondary or even tertiary mutations. The roots of different species of plants are intertwined and there is already a phenomenon of parasitic coexistence. Nutrients are being transported in a centralized manner, and the direction is unknown, but it is clear that they are no longer independent of each other, but are developing and evolving in a systematic and planned manner."
"It's like the class distinction among insects. The bottom or bottom insects are responsible for finding and collecting nutrients, absorbing nutrients, and providing them to the queen insect, even at the cost of their own sacrifice."
Suddenly, a loud angry shout came from the communicator: "You are really a spirit! No way! We need to understand the principle!"
A female voice came from a distance: "What Xiao Mu said is true. I did an experiment."
There were discussions in the conference hall, and several researchers analyzed the situation in low voices. The leader sitting in the middle was the commander, and Bai Zhi was sitting next to him.
"In the current situation, reality outweighs principle, and development is faster than summary. Let's listen to the ideas of young people first." As soon as the leader spoke, the voices of the crowd gradually faded. Cen Ming rummaged through his bag and found an experimental box. Inside the transparent lid was a piece of rotten plant, as dense as human nerve endings, and like a thin, dried, translucent layer of animal mucus, but it was already obvious that it had no vitality.
"This is……"
Cen Ming strode forward and played a video on the screen. At the same time, in order to let Mu Ying and her group understand, he said:
"A few days ago, I conducted an experiment using Mu Ying's blood vaccine and Liao Le's space soil sampling."
Before he finished speaking, the team leader who had been leading Cen Ming said angrily: "I have never approved such an experiment!"
Cen Ming nodded: "I did it, I take responsibility, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Commander Bai pressed his hand on the team leader, and the latter shut his mouth.
"We selected duckweed as the test subject. No vaccine was added to the control group, and the plants grew naturally. The mutation rate was 80%, which is higher than the 50% initially estimated."
Cen Ming clicked on the video and saw tiny plants that looked like insect eggs quickly occupying the entire moist soil surface in just a few seconds. The next second, a flamethrower appeared in the camera and the experiment was terminated in time.
The woman on the platform had a flat mouth, a line of wrinkles pressing down on her lips, revealing her seriousness, and her hair fell on her soft cheeks.
"After adding vaccines of different active concentrations——"
Twenty recording shots in the video are aligned in the same range, showing the process from the outbreak of reproduction to the suppression of flames and turning into ashes. In the blink of an eye, people watch the survival and extinction of a race like God.
Maybe there really is a God watching over the people struggling to survive in this ruined world.
Cen Ming clicked on the last video: "Active concentration is positively correlated with growth rate. Space soil is a catalyst."
"In the end, this is not a vaccine, this is blood stock."
The black viewfinder remained the same as before, with small green dots expanding rapidly like frame-by-frame video. Another drop of bright red blood dripped on the side. At the same time, the center, where the green was the densest, looked as if the dense forest on the top of the mountain was burned at a targeted spot. A small group of shriveled plant corpses was left in the center. The duckweed that had been breeding in the distance swelled up the moment it came into contact with the blood, and then quickly shrank back down.
The green at the foot of the mountain turns yellow, and the lush green at the top of the mountain is reborn again.
But the prosperity was temporary. After continuously adding soil and blood, duckweed faced a major collapse due to the law of extremes. The green kingdom was so overwhelmed with nutrients that it rotted into ashes in an instant.
Cen Ming's voice rang out in the conference room:
"I advise the researchers present here not to hide the facts and ignore the truth. Plants have changed from producers to consumers in this world. Centripetalism and the three mutations will turn the entire earth into a huge plant parasite. If we don't seize the opportunity to solve it, we will no longer have room to survive. Everyone is a nutrient that needs to be sucked dry, and human civilization will be completely extinct."
The woman in front of the screen spoke in a loud voice with an imperceptible tremor: "Given the special nature of Mu Ying's blood and the early stages, we can still use limited means to control the mutation."
"I propose that we find the source of the mutant plants, ask Comrade Liao Le to contribute all the soil, and ask Comrade Mu Ying to sacrifice herself for the safety of the people and for human civilization, and take the initiative to serve as nutrients. We can accomplish this in one fell swoop and eliminate the root cause that may endanger the world in the future!"
Cen Ming's team leader yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about! There is only one Mu Ying!"
A white-bearded researcher sitting nearby also said, "Even if it is feasible, searching for the source of mutant plants in such a large area is like looking for a needle in a haystack—"
"I--" Cen Ming was about to retort when a female voice with the sound of wind came from the communicator.
"I am willing to fulfill Sister Ming's proposal."
Ni Yangzhou sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes wide open, and grabbed Mu Ying's arm.
Mu Ying turned around, gave Ni Yangzhou a reassuring smile, and then said:
"And I also know where the source plant is."
