Upon hearing Qiao Ya's words, Lu Yuan felt his heart skip a beat.
Yes, if this plant were to spread across the Earth, all plants would become extinct.
Although 99.99% of plants on Earth have become extinct.
The remaining plants are just a few seeds that everyone saved, intending to continue cultivating them on Earth.
However, if this plant were to spread, the remaining 0.001% of plants might cease to exist.
Because their way of turning on you is so peculiar, and they don't have any particularly strict requirements for their growing environment.
This plant grows at an extremely rapid rate, consuming nutrients from the soil to grow stronger. It can even grow by absorbing water. If this plant were to spread across the earth, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lu Yuan swallowed hard, then looked at the seed.
"How practical are these... seeds?"
Qiao Ya looked at the bean on the ground.
"If possible, this bean should be able to be used in cooking, but so far I haven't found a way to cook it!"
It tastes terrible and is extremely heat resistant. I've even heated it to around 1000 degrees Celsius, and the outer shell doesn't crack.
Its outer membrane can only crack when it's placed in soil. However, even then, when its rhizomes are dug up, the plant is still inedible; it doesn't produce fruit, only thick rhizomes.
Then Qiao Ya took out the experimental samples and showed them to Lu Yuan.
After Lu Yuan picked up the samples and looked at them, he immediately felt that this plant was an extremely domineering thing.
Once it appears, no other plant in the vicinity can get any nutrients. It will kill the other plants and decompose them into nutrients for itself to absorb.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan was filled with a feeling of utter despair.
They didn't know where they got this plant, but they figured it must have already been spread.
If they spread out in an inconspicuous camp, they might end up being overrun by a horde of plants.
With this worry in his heart, Lu Yuan came out of the experimental space.
He placed the large stack of reports he was holding very seriously on his coffee table and flipped through them again and again.
When Xiao Shan woke up, she rubbed her throbbing head and sat down in front of Lu Yuan.
"Didn't you take a nap again at noon? Aren't you feeling unwell?"
Lu Yuan sighed and pointed to the things on the table.
"Take a look at what I retrieved from the dimensional space!"
Xiao Shan was slightly taken aback and turned to look at Lu Yuan.
She noticed that Lu Yuan's expression seemed to have become somewhat worried again, and she didn't know why he had become like this after waking up.
Everything was fine before, but now it's like this, making her feel that something must have happened.
Just as she was about to ask, Lu Yuan suddenly stood up.
He turned to look at Xiaoshan and said, "I'm planning to go to the prison to see Zhou Tong. He said that some things he investigated last time are probably related to this seed. I'm going to go and see!"
Seeing Lu Yuan about to leave, Xiao Shan was a little confused. She pointed to the reports below and said...
"I haven't seen it yet. Could you please tell me briefly what happened?"
"Alas, a new type of plant has been discovered, and this plant is extremely abnormal! If a single seed were to multiply, it could cause a disaster in an entire region!"
If it is allowed to continue spreading, it could become a disaster for the entire planet. I don't know where these seeds came from.
The seeds of this plant have never been found so far. I don't know where they obtained them, nor where they have spread. If left unchecked, it will become another serious disaster in human history!
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan immediately sensed that this matter was far from simple.
Almost everything Lu Yuan predicts comes true. However, last time he predicted many disasters, such as global oxygen depletion and the moon entering the atmosphere, but he didn't mention this one.
Now, another very serious plant mutation has occurred, leaving them feeling utterly helpless.
How many disasters must we endure before we can live a happy life?
Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile and reached out to take Xiao Shan's hand.
"I don't know either, but I'll try my best to give you and your family a better life!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan glanced outside and said, "It's getting late. I need to hurry over and see what Old Zhou has found out, and whether it's related to this matter."
Xiao Shan nodded, then picked up something from the side: "I'll go with you, I'll also check on how Lao Zhou is doing!"
Lu Yuan nodded, and then led Xiao Shan toward the prison.
After arriving at the prison, they paid another sum of money using the same method and then contacted Zhou Tong.
When Zhou Tong came this time, he looked much better than before.
He even lived a better life in prison than he did in his daily life, and he looked like he had gained a lot of weight.
When Zhou Tong saw Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He quickly walked over and reached out to open the glass door.
"Finally, I've met you all! My God, life in these prisons is like two extremes. Those who paid money and those who didn't are living like emperors and slaves. I'm about to be assimilated by them. Please take me away!"
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's complaint, Lu Yuan burst into laughter.
"You feel uncomfortable even though life is good now. I really don't know what to say to you. Alright, I came to see you today mainly because I have something to discuss. What exactly is that thing you mentioned last time? I really want to know!"
After listening, Zhou Tong nodded immediately. He looked around, then rummaged under the table for a while and found a receiver there.
He held the receiver in his hand, pinched the middle, and squeezed hard, breaking the chip inside.
"Alright, you can talk now. Without the eavesdropping, they won't know what we're talking about!"
