Almost instantly, Lin Qiao reacted quickly, bending down and rolling to barely avoid the branches that suddenly rushed towards her!
Unable to identify what kind of plant it was, Lin Qiao's most important task right now was to ensure her own safety and that of her three kittens who had not yet awakened any special abilities.
It seems that the plants in the base have mutated, but it's unclear why no one has noticed.
Lin Qiao was just an ordinary human, and she learned her marksmanship from Bo Shiwu. Dealing with a newly mutated plant should not be a problem for her, so she wasn't too worried at the moment.
But the plant's attacks became more and more cunning, each strike targeting Lin Qiao's brain and heart!
At first, Lin Qiao could handle this thing, but after a few moves, the plant's regenerative ability was too strong. Even if a bullet completely broke its branches, it could regenerate in just a few seconds. The speed was surprisingly fast, and the branches were thicker and more lush than before.
In less than half a minute, Lin Qiao was forced by the branches to the hiding place of the kittens.
Behind her was the door; if a branch got through, the kittens would be in danger.
Lin Qiao's palms were covered in cold sweat; she absolutely could not back down.
If she can't even protect Ah He's most beloved kittens, how can she face Qiao He?
Lin Qiao gripped the gun tightly, the dark muzzle aimed at the branch, and the bullet instantly shot out!
Bang--
The branch broke off, and a strange, viscous green liquid oozed out.
At first, the liquid was inconspicuous, but when Lin Qiao's skin came into contact with the strange liquid, she began to have difficulty breathing, and the world in front of her became blurry.
Lin Qiao gritted her teeth and simply threw down the gun in her hand. Since bullets were not very effective against the mutated plants, she could only use the most primitive cold weapon—a dagger that had been blessed.
Moreover, it was a dagger modified by Shen Tang.
This dagger was given to her personally by Qiao He, who said it could be used for self-defense and that it contained poison that was effective against both animals and plants.
The moment Lin Qiao threw down her gun, the plant tightly wrapped around her body, the branches around her neck like green snakes.
In an instant, a bright red bloodstain appeared on Lin Qiao's neck. She gritted her teeth and then used the dagger to cut the branch off fiercely!
The next moment, the branch did not regenerate quickly; instead, it began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Qiao was overjoyed; it seemed the poison in the dagger really worked!
Upon seeing this, Lin Qiao immediately rushed over. While she was still conscious, she was determined to get rid of the mutated plant.
Otherwise, the kittens would be in great danger.
In Lin Qiao's eyes, she always felt that the kittens were like children who needed her care.
Including Qiao He and Bo Shiwu, they are all children.
Yet, she, an adult, couldn't protect these children.
Lin Qiao has always been someone who needs protection, but now she doesn't want to be protected anymore; she now has the power to protect others.
Lin Qiao took a deep breath, shook her head, and her slightly gray hair floated in the gentle breeze.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Qiao grabbed the branch that was about to escape.
Her dagger was deeply embedded in the branch!
The toxin seeped into the plant's trunk along the branches. Lin Qiao could see that the thick branches were trembling, the bark was peeling off, and the roots inside had become completely black.
The power of toxins is indeed formidable.
Seeing this, Lin Qiao stabbed him several more times.
finally--
The plants withered completely, including the trunks outside the window.
Just as its lifespan had come to an end, this mutated plant finally died.
Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, her consciousness was still a little hazy. There was something wrong with the green sap inside the plant. Could she have been poisoned?
Lin Qiao closed the window to prevent other mutated plants from getting in.
She picked up her phone to contact Qiao He, but the next second, she saw something strange on her arm...
Yellow-green plants, like vines, had somehow climbed up to me.
Lin Qiao didn't even realize that the plant had silently wrapped around her arm like a parasite.
Lin Qiao's pupils trembled slightly, and her phone instantly fell to the ground.
She could hardly believe her eyes; the leafless "vines" instantly covered her entire body!
Lin Qiao is unable to move—
She was entangled by this strange plant, its yellow-green vines densely covering her skin as if they had originally grown on her body.
At first it was the exposed skin, then the lips, nose, and the surface of the eyeballs.
Like a tiny snake, it moved slowly across Lin Qiao's body.
Lin Qiao couldn't breathe or move; she seemed to be dying...
They were under control and unable to contact Qiao He.
It's likely that no one in the base has even discovered the mutated plant.
No—that's not right.
The plant that just died was not a real mutated plant!
Now, what's entangled her body is a true mutated plant, like a parasite growing on the body of a plant...
What is it?
I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, it's inconspicuous...
parasite.
Lin Qiao's heart skipped a beat; she remembered—
That's dodder.
It can only survive by parasitizing plants, and can silently monopolize all the nutrients of the host plant, then slowly absorb the plant like a frog being boiled in water. By the time the plant realizes what's happening, it's too late to save it.
