Yang Haochen entered the tool room and picked up a few shovels: "Come on, hurry up."
Hit the button on the wall: "Everyone in the room come out."
Shen Yunchuan looked confused, and Jiang Wenxi explained, "The mutant plants will be coming over soon. The plants here will also be affected and mutated. We need to dig out all the plants first."
Shen Yunchuan asked: "Will all of them mutate?"
"No, only partially."
The group started to work. For the sake of beauty, a lot of plants were planted in the yard.
Potted plants are more convenient, so Jiang Wenxi put them directly into the space. For those planted on the ground, they can only do it little by little, and they don’t have much time left.
Yang Haochen complained as he worked: "San, what were you thinking back then? Planting these things?"
"You can eat and drink, but now you need me to help you with the work."
Fang Huaizhi had the urge to hit him on the head with the shovel: "A rough man like you won't appreciate it."
The little fox howled and tugged at Shen Yunchuan's trouser leg to the side, "Stop making trouble, I'm working."
The fox was so anxious that it dug a hole with its claws, howling as it did so. Fang Huaizhi noticed something was wrong and asked, "Can you feel it?"
“Ahhh~”
Jiang Wenxi suddenly became energetic: "Go find out everything abnormal, let's dig first."
The little fox led the way, and as long as they sat down next to him, they would start digging immediately.
"Ahhh~"
Jiang Wenxi saw that it was too late. One of the plants had mutated and branches began to grow. Without saying a word, she drew out her Tang sword and cut the trunk in half. The branches that fell to the ground were still spreading, so she quickly swung her sword to cut off all the branches.
The branches fell to the ground, still twitching.
The eight people were all shocked. This thing was too terrifying.
Shen Yunchuan was the first to react: "What are you still looking at? Hurry up and dig."
Several people sped up. The fox had pointed out all the possible mutations, but the others were still worried and dug out what they could.
The yard became bare in an instant, and in the end, it was too dry to do anything, so only a few small plants were left there.
All eight of them slumped in their chairs. When they looked up, they found that vines had already climbed up the glass above their heads. No wonder the light suddenly dimmed.
Jiang Wenxi got up immediately, ran to the power switch and turned it off, and there was also a sound coming from outside.
A group of people ran towards the surveillance camera. They arrived so quickly that they saw many people escaping from the woods and some being dragged in.
Gunshots rang out. Some people wanted to run towards them, but when they saw the house covered with plants, they turned around and ran downstairs.
The entire barrier was crackling, and the electric shock had little effect on the plants.
"Let's check the system to see if it will cause any damage to the residence?"
"Host, not at this time. If the plants don't subside within a week, they will affect the residence. Their roots will penetrate deep into the ground and break through the walls."
Even the system couldn't estimate whether it would disappear in a week, so Jiang Wenxi didn't gamble.
"The vegetation around the house has to be dealt with, and our fence will only last a week."
Luo Chuwan thought for a moment: "There is a kind of medicine in the laboratory that is very lethal to plants. You can use it."
"I'll match it right away."
Zhou Yang went along to help, as his major was just right for the job.
Shen Yunchuan turned off the power switch: "See how fast they are growing, and help us drive them away."
Except for the two people who went to prepare medicine, the rest of the people squatted in front of the monitor and checked the situation outside.
Jiang Wenxi took out the protective suit and said, "I'll go out and change into it later."
Shen Yunchuan took a set of his own size, and Fang Huaizhi and Yang Haochen also took a set. You can't rely on those younger ones to do this kind of work. They are not yet to the point where they can't climb.
Even bombs were used outside. The scene was extremely chaotic. Everyone was running away desperately. No one came to their villa for help. The whole villa was surrounded by green plants.
To outsiders, they are the ones trapped inside.
"Bang bang~" The sound of gunfire continued, but it had little effect on the plants.
Only bombs were effective, but they had limited bombs on them, only ten in total. They never expected to encounter such a thing.
Someone suddenly thought: "Fire, plants are afraid of fire."
“Where there’s fire, there’s wetness everywhere.”
Nowadays, not everyone has a lighter, let alone dry branches. Their clothes are already soaked with sweat and cannot be lit at all.
"Let's go. We can't stay here. Let's go to the center of the water."
"Save me, don't leave me~"
The man holding the gun looked at the person hanging on the tree and ended the person's life with one shot to ease their pain.
Saving people is impossible, they will not risk their own lives to save others.
"Follow me if you want to live."
There were plants in the water, but not so many. The remaining people glanced at the encircled castle and ran down the mountain without hesitation, waving their swords.
I drove the boat towards the center of the water, but many people were still behind me.
He ran and shouted, "Wait for us, don't sail the boat."
Staying here means death, but going up might give you a chance to survive. What a bullshit mission.
Xiao Qi threw down a fuel bomb, and the people around him held up firewood and attacked any plants that came close.
“Gather together, stand back to back, and don’t let the fire go out.”
"Thank goodness you reminded us to bring dry firewood, Brother Xiao."
Xiao Qi was also shocked. Who was the owner of that arrow? How could he have predicted all this?
Commander Liang asked them to cut down as many plants as possible around them. They were skeptical at first, but some of the plants began to mutate when they were halfway through cutting them.
If it weren't for the advance deployment, the rescue center would have suffered heavy losses. Even with the advance prevention, hundreds of people still died, and thousands of people were injured by being dragged by plants, and some were trampled.
There were cries for help and screams everywhere.
"Help~ We need to go to the rescue center."
Many people in high-level positions thought they had escaped the disaster, but they didn't expect to be attacked by plants in their homes.
They are small ornamental plants one moment, but the next moment they can wave their branches and leaves to eat humans. The streets and buildings are covered with plant vines.
Some grow extremely fast, spreading visibly on the walls and covering the entire building in just a few minutes.
Xiao Qi couldn't save more people, so he could only keep lighting firewood and distributing it.
"Don't put out the fire at its source; cut off its roots and destroy it before it grows up."
The brave ones took torches and approached the plants to cut off the branches, while the timid ones held the torches and trembled, trying to find ways to prevent the fire from going out.
Loudspeakers played in a loop across the city, some people set bedsheets on fire, others dismantled chairs.
Some people were stabbed through by plants. The plants greedily absorbed nutrients from the human body and took root and sprouted in the human body.
"Captain, we can't go any further. We don't have enough firewood."
Xiao Qi glanced at the few remaining firewood in the cabin and had no choice but to turn back. Without a fire source, they could not save themselves.
"Go back first."
The intercom suddenly rang. Xiao Qi picked it up and heard Zhang Shimian's voice: "The commander asked us to go check on Jiang Wenxi."
