Yin Jiazhu said: "It's called 'paraquat'".
"I know," Ni Yangzhou pulled out a small green bottle from the space, "but what if it's strong enough to wither trees?"
"Let's try."
It was the same steel pipe as before, with a small bottle with an open lid tied to the top. Ni Yangzhou endured the stench and passed the bottle over, then poured all the liquid out along the tree roots.
Ni Yangzhou waited for a while, looking at each leaf carefully, but the forsythia was still brilliant in the sunlight.
"Ugh--"
The young man's expression turned sad. If it were just giant plants that grew larger from time to time and zombies, it wouldn't be too difficult. But now there are also mutant plants that grow larger and will actively attack for nutrients, so the situation is worrying.
The mutated plants are not like zombies. You can tell the difference between them and ordinary plants at a glance. From a distance, there is no good or bad written on any of their leaves.
"Let's go back first."
When Ni Yangzhou thought of the obstacles he encountered along the way, he suddenly felt cold all over. Was it really true that the plants on the way here just didn't actively attack?
"Those who came here..."
Yin Jiazhu heard Ni Yangzhou's hesitation and said, "At present, it is speculated that only plants infected by zombies will actively attack."
He pointed at the courtyard and said, "There is more than one winter jasmine tree. There was also a clump on the roadside when I came here, but it didn't grow any bigger, so it's not very noticeable."
Ni Yangzhou recalled that he indeed did not notice it.
"The ranger was already rotting, but the dog had just been drained of blood. The man was eaten first, then the dog."
Ni Yangzhou was horrified by the word "eat".
"But this doesn't make sense, brother. If the winter jasmine flower had just mutated normally and only grown bigger, how could it have actively 'infected' zombies?"
"Maybe it's instinct?"
Just like plants need water, if water resources are not abundant, plants will grow long and thin roots to absorb water. Will zombies be like the nutrients that plants need, and will take the initiative to attack when they detect it?
The other party had only said a few simple words, but Ni Yangzhou seemed to have completely understood the unspoken meaning behind his words. The two of them didn't need to say much, as they both thought of the same thing.
After absorbing nutrients from the human body, they are also infected by viruses and transformed into plants that need to hunt and kill other animals and humans to survive?
Everything was just speculation. Ni Yangzhou and Yin Jiazhu looked at each other and neither of them expressed their hidden concerns, as if once they spoke out, things would become true.
There are not many giant plants, and I believe there are quite a few in the city. If the zombie outbreak is dense enough, the situation faced by the people in the city may be very difficult.
You may encounter zombies everywhere, and mutated plants that may suddenly grab and eat people.
With the difficulty stacking buffs, how many people can survive?
Ni Yangzhou closed his eyes tightly and didn't care about anything else.
"Brother, shall we go back?"
Ni Yangzhou began to feel fear towards the plants that blocked out the sun along the way. The initial novelty of being in a fairy tale world by mistake had disappeared.
Anyone who faces a giant that could end their life at any time would probably be afraid.
"I have to go back," Yin Jiazhu looked at the gloomy sky, "there are still some things I didn't bring with me."
Ni Yangzhou nodded, "We'll leave after we get it."
Let’s go, where are we going?
Mountains with lush vegetation but few zombies? Or cities with lots of zombies and mutant plants?
He had no choice.
The road ahead is unknown. Will it be smooth going to Heilongjiang Province?
Ni Yangzhou didn’t know.
But now, at least he had a companion.
