Chapter 315: For beauty, it is worth it to change shape
Afterwards, he also asked Leng Mo and Jing Chen to pay special attention and confirmed that in the rainforest, in addition to the carnivorous plant, there were other plants that had a tendency to mutate and would actively attack humans and devour corpses.
It might be because that rainforest was closest to the venomous snake base where Wang Zhengzhu was located, so both the marine life and tropical plants began to mutate first.
Humans are currently unable to stop the evolution of the zombie virus, so even if they know that the plants are mutating, the Leia base can only issue warnings to other bases but cannot stop the spread of the tragedy.
Jiang Zixuan felt heavy-hearted after hearing the news about Jingchen, and her complexion did not improve after she returned home.
Mingming skipped over to her and was about to say something, but saw that she looked like she was worried about something.
"Mommy, are you unhappy?"
Jiang Zixuan bent down, picked up Mingming, and kissed her son's sweet and soft cheek.
"Mommy is not unhappy, she just has a lot of things to consider."
The world of the future is becoming more and more dangerous. Where will humanity's survival lead?
Mingming brushed Jiang Zixuan's hair and placed his little hand on her cheek.
"Mommy, don't worry about us kids," Mingming said seriously, "Just like your generation has to walk your own path, we kids will also walk our own path when we grow up. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we can always keep going."
Jiang Zixuan said in surprise, "Baby, when did you say something like that?"
Is this really something a five or six-year-old child would say?
Mingming said seriously, "When you get to the bridge, you will find your way out. Mommy, grandpa told us that humans are the strongest species. No matter what difficulties we face, humans will always survive."
"When did grandpa tell you?"
"The last time we came to the base," Mingming hugged Jiang Zixuan's neck and whispered, "So, Mommy, don't worry about us. The children of our generation may have superpowers in the future, and then they can protect themselves."
Jiang Zixuan smiled and patted his back, "That's true."
There are many children in the base. Although it is impossible to inject the superpower vaccine into everyone now, new vaccines will definitely be developed in ten or twenty years.
Professor Song Yan has already obtained the meteorite and related information from the Viper Base. If he is given some time, he can definitely work with other scientists to develop a superpower vaccine that can make humans stronger.
Humanity must hold on to hope and wait for that day to come.
Not many people in the Leia base know about the mutation of tropical rainforest plants, even among the top brass.
Jiang Zixuan squeezed out some spare time and after delivering the weapons to the armory in the military building, she went to the forest near the base to collect herbs with Zhou Xiaolai and Meiyu.
The three of them traveled through the forest, looking for any usable plants, including ordinary trees.
Meiyu is a wood-type mutant. After being injected with the modified vaccine, in addition to gaining new beastial abilities, her original abilities were also greatly enhanced.
Now she can even stimulate the growth of plants.
Give her a seed, and she can accelerate the germination period of the seed, making the seed grow rapidly.
However, this also consumes a lot of energy.
In the forest, Jiang Zixuan found some common medicinal herbs and threw them all into the space.
Meiyu also picked some wild fruit trees and gave them to Jiang Zixuan to plant together.
Zhou Xiaolai covered for the two of them, and his whole body looked like an eggplant hit by frost.
"It's really hard. When I think about the future, I not only have to guard against zombie beasts, but also zombie plants. I don't even want to leave the base."
"Don't panic, there will always be a way to deal with it when the time comes... Ouch!" Meiyu's high heels got stuck in the tree roots and it took several seconds to pull them out.
Zhou Xiaolai stared at her red high heels, "Sister, we've come to the forest, aren't you uncomfortable without high heels?"
Meiyu snorted, "A woman only needs to wear two kinds of shoes in her life, high heels and slippers."
"Your feet are deformed, doesn't it hurt?" Jiang Zixuan said without raising her head.
Meiyu said proudly, "For the sake of beauty, it is worth it to be deformed."
Jiang Zixuan and Zhou Xiaolai expressed their disagreement.
The three of them hadn't been together for a long time, and since it was a rare opportunity for them to go out for a walk, they treated the forest as a shopping mall and stopped to look at everything they saw.
Zhou Xiaolai stood next to a big tree, looking up at the forest that blocked out the sun.
If you ignore the news that the plants are about to be infected and mutated, the forest today is really beautiful.
Without the wanton destruction of human beings, plants are thriving.
At least she, who has always lived in the city, has never seen such a clear and clean forest.
The air here is so fresh that it feels like your soul is cleansed with just one breath.
She recalled a sentence she had heard before, which said that the end of the world means destruction for mankind but rebirth for the ecology of nature.
Without the wanton development and destruction by humans, the earth is indeed much cleaner and greenery is spreading.
Seeing Zhou Xiaolai was still in deep thought, Jiang Zixuan said jokingly, "Lai Lai, have you also learned to think about life?"
"I will use my brain occasionally, okay?" Zhou Xiaolai felt that her best friend really seemed to treat her as a fool.
Meiyu asked, "So what are you thinking about?"
“Think about whether or not to get married in the future.”
"Ah?" Meiyu didn't understand why she thought of this.
Zhou Xiaolai explained, "I don't want to get married or have children. I feel heartbroken when I think about him having to face such a dangerous world in the future."
Therefore, she would rather not have children in this terrible apocalypse.
Meiyu complained, "You should find a partner first, big sister."
Jiang Zixuan pointed out something, "The target has always been there, but one is arrogant and the other is slow to open up. There has been no progress in eight hundred years."
I guess when Miaomiao and Mingming grow up, these two will still be in the hazy and ambiguous stage.
In the next few days, Jiang Zixuan often took people to the forest to look for plants that could be used, and tried to plant them on the roads or undeveloped areas of the base.
Human development is inseparable from plants, but once plants mutate, it will be difficult to obtain them at will.
About a week later, Jin Mohan and Ke Zhenshan returned from the World Federation.
The World Federation condemned their actions that led to war without permission, but apart from verbal reprimands, the World Federation could do nothing.
Once the Leia Base and the Unified Base join forces, the military force will be something the World Federation cannot withstand.
After Jin Mohan returned to the base, he first confirmed the base's defense capabilities and listened to Zhao Yi talk about seawater pollution.
"We have set up a more stringent defense force on the beach, and we are doing our best to ensure the safety of the people who stay at the base." Zhao Yi said in a deep voice, "But no one can guarantee that the base can be defended."
"Let Jingchen send more people to support us. We must hold out for the stronghold." Jin Mohan said.
A base on the seaside is necessary, because the tidal power generation equipment depends entirely on the maintenance of the people at the base.
If the people in the stronghold are evacuated, the power station will not be able to continue to operate, the base will not be able to bear the electricity consumption of more than 300,000 people, and the industrial and military manufacturing industries will have limited supply and development will slow down.
Secondly, the stronghold is equivalent to the outpost of the base, which can monitor the movements on the sea to the greatest extent. Once there is an enemy attack, it can send an alarm to the base immediately.
