Even though wild plants cannot photosynthesize, they can still breathe normally. Even so, many plants cannot tolerate this and choose to mutate.
Therefore, the plants in the Zhushacheng Forest Farm had their respiration suppressed. If they didn't mutate, who would?
Cheng Zhen had guessed that they were unscrupulous, but he didn't expect them to be so ruthless. Forcing plants to mutate in an oxygen-deficient apocalypse was just asking them to reap what they sowed.
To be honest, knowing the truth made him even less willing to get involved.
After listening, Cheng Zhen paused for a moment and said, "If all the plants in your forest have mutated, then we are sorry that we are powerless to help you. We really are not capable enough to assist you."
Even if he managed to send a team of superhumans into the city, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
He refused to risk his brothers' lives to help those fools who, since they did not respect life, should pay the price.
Jiang Ling stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She had told the truth, so why was she still unwilling to send troops to help?
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "What other conditions do you have? Feel free to name them. Our city lord will definitely agree to anything he can."
In this oxygen-deficient post-apocalyptic world, they have many needs, but since Cheng Zhen refuses to help, they naturally don't make any requests.
He waved his hand, signaling Yu Fen and the others to drive them away.
Jiang Ling was unwilling to give up and still wanted to fight for it, but Cheng Zhen's attitude was firm. He said coolly, "We may not be the kind of people who speak, but we are right. Your Zhusha City is not so poor that you don't even have the manpower to kill the mutated plants."
Jiang Ling was speechless. It was true, but she couldn't say it at that moment.
Yu Fen and his men drove them out of Longxiang City's territory, set up barriers, and then left them alone.
They immediately started discussing: "Holy crap! This is inhuman! They're in an apocalyptic world with oxygen deprivation, and they still dare to do something so reckless!"
That's right. In an oxygen-deficient post-apocalyptic world, suppressing plant respiration is forcing them to mutate, isn't it?
Isn't this courting death?
Jiang Ling and his companions were dumbfounded. Standing on the open ground between the two cities, they were stuck, unsure of where to go or where to retreat.
If she can't get help, she'll either be beaten to death by Zhang Hao or killed by the mutated plants when she goes back. After all, she's just an ordinary person, not a superhuman!
Just as he was agonizing over what to do, the commotion in the city suddenly intensified. The people screamed and ran around shouting, "Help! Help! The mutated plants are here! The mutated plants are here!"
Jiang Ling only felt a headache coming on and didn't notice anything unusual for a moment. Hadn't the mutated plants arrived a long time ago? They'd been killing people in the city for half a day already, and these people still hadn't come to terms with reality. It was pathetic; they deserved to be killed.
Suddenly, the person next to him couldn't help but give him a push.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, look!"
Jiang Ling subconsciously looked in the direction he was pointing, and gasped in surprise!
What did she see? The entire city wall of Vermilion City was covered with vines from mutated plants!
Not only that, these vines are still expanding and spreading! It's unclear whether they came from inside the city or entered from outside, but judging from their appearance, they are determined to completely surround the entire Vermilion City.
"How could this be?" Jiang Ling couldn't help but exclaim, completely unable to believe what she was seeing.
The city walls were gradually covered by vines, which used everything they could climb to expand their influence. As time passed, the commotion inside Vermilion City gradually subsided.
Before nightfall, all was finally calm.
For some unknown reason, all the mutated plants in the forest died, and the vines that had been covering Vermilion City suddenly disappeared.
Everyone was so frightened that they hid inside their houses and dared not come out; there was not a single person near the forest farm.
If someone were to appear near the forest at this time, they would see a pair of twins and a woman moving around in the forest, with hopping, furry, unknown creatures around them.
It was Jiang Wan with the twins and Jiang Xiaoxin's ten mutated rose assistants who were collecting crystals.
Zhang Hao and the others were so frightened by the mutated plants that they hid in the air-raid shelter and refused to come out, so they naturally didn't see this scene.
It turns out that when Cheng Zhen refused Jiang Ling's request for help, the twins had already discussed it and decided to send Rose Assistant to kill the mutated plants in the city. They were not only doing this for fun, but more importantly, they wanted to obtain a large number of crystals and the Ω-shaped sunshade above the Cinnabar City Forest Farm!
The twins, accompanied by ten mutated rose assistants, retrieved crystals and sunshades, while Jiang Wan casually stored them into the tree hole space. Their coordinated speed was extremely fast.
After collecting the last crystal, she fired a signal flare into the sky, and Cheng Zhen immediately opened a portal to bring the mother and her two children back.
Just then, someone finally noticed something was wrong, but by the time they arrived, the person had already disappeared.
Wasn't that a woman with two children just now?
"It seems so. What are they doing here?"
They hadn't even seen what the other party looked like, and they dared not approach the forest farm casually, for fear that there might be mutated plants that hadn't died yet that might suddenly attack.
It wasn't until later, when a person with supernatural abilities went to inspect the forest, that they came to the conclusion: "The crystals of all the mutated plants have been dug up!"
Zhang Hao assumed that Zhu Sha City was saved because Jiang Ling had brought reinforcements, and he angrily called her over again, questioning, "Did you call in a bunch of bandits? They actually took all our crystals."
Jiang Ling was also surprised: "I didn't bring any reinforcements."
"What did you say?"
Zhang Hao had just come out of the air-raid shelter and was unaware of the situation outside. Hearing this, he instinctively assumed that the mutated plants hadn't been completely eradicated, so he hid behind a squad of superhuman city guards.
"So, the people outside saying it's safe are lying to me?"
The subordinate reported: "Lord City Lord, the mutated plants have truly been eradicated. There isn't a single plant left in the city! Just..."
"What?!" Zhang Hao's face was extremely pale. "Are you trying to say that we're about to run out of oxygen?"
The subordinate nodded.
Zhang Hao's first reaction was: "What are you panicking about? So many people have died in this disaster in the city. Without them breathing and competing for oxygen..."
Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that someone next to him looked a little off, so he stopped talking at the right moment and then ordered, "Since there's not enough oxygen, let's hurry up and find a solution!"
Someone else came to report: "Something terrible has happened! The Ω-shaped shade boards in the forest have also been stolen!"
After hearing this, what else could Zhang Hao not understand?
"Cheng Zhen! Damn it!"
"This guy not only didn't lend a helping hand, but he even took advantage of the situation! Are you all dead? Don't you know how to go out and teach them a lesson?"
