Chapter 453 White Fruit



Who knew that the weather would get so bad that wild animals couldn't be hunted, even insects hibernated, and food was in serious shortage.

With no way to survive, they had no choice but to go deeper into the oasis to try to find something to eat. However, most of them were left inside, and the few who managed to escape did not dare to go deeper.

The adaptability of mutated plants is inherently stronger than that of humans and animals. He Xiaobei discovered several white mutated plants during his inspection.

It is white all over, about one meter tall, with small white flowers blooming on its branches, and one of the plants has begun to bear fruit.

The fruit is still white and translucent.

He Xiaobei asked her bodyguard to take a picture of it and transmit it back to Kyoto. This was the first time she had seen this type of mutant plant.

After looking at the white mutant plants and thinking for a while, he finally dug one out and found that they were not aggressive.

Then he transplanted them to the edge of the oasis, hoping that these survivors would help him test the poison. If they could really be eaten, it would give them another chance to survive.

He asked the bodyguards to send two Hummingbird drones for circular surveillance, then clapped his hands and turned back to his own courtyard.

The fruits of the white mutant plant mature very quickly. It only takes one day to bloom, and the fruits grow to the size of a child's fist in just one week.

The survivors outside also quickly discovered the plant and carefully protected it.

There are many people who would starve to death without food, so they are willing to come forward to try the effects of the fruit.

Those people did not have any extra reactions after eating the fruit at first, but they started to have abdominal pain at night.

When he was found the next morning, he was completely dead, and several white plant seedlings grew out of his body through his skin.

The white seedlings were still stained with human flesh and blood, and the red blood was frozen on the white plants, which was both holy and terrifying.

The survivors were afraid that this thing would attack them, so several psychics carried the man's body and threw it deep into the jungle.

He Xiaobei became interested and ran over excitedly to check after they finished throwing.

These white plant seedlings grow very fast, reaching about one meter in height in just two days.

Perhaps because of the human blood and flesh replenishing nutrients, the time it takes to bloom and bear fruit is much shorter than the previous one.

At first, the white fruits on the plant are just crystal clear, and slowly they begin to emit an enticing fragrance, very similar to the taste of butter and honey flavored potato chips before the end of the world.

He Xiaobei picked one, then picked another fruit that did not emit any odor, cut it open for comparison, and found that there was not much difference.

It felt cold in her hand, but she was sure that the fruit was not frozen.

It's really strange that the weather is not frozen in -60℃.

It looks very similar to an apple, but is a bit like a kiwi inside. It has no core, but if you look closely you can find several soybean-sized white seeds wrapped in mucous membrane near the flesh.

The flesh is mostly white, with only a slight tinge of pink near the center.

He Xiaobei thought about it, and finally caught a chicken from the backyard, picked out the white seeds and fed them to the chicken. The chick ate happily.

After locking the chick up alone, she looked at the seeds again and poked them with a random branch on the ground.

The mucous membrane outside the seeds is very slippery, without a hard shell, and the seeds inside are also unusually soft. No wonder the survivors didn't notice it when they ate it before.

He wrapped the remaining seeds in tin foil and threw them into the space before turning around and going back to the house.

The ultimate goals of all biological evolution are only two: reproduction and becoming stronger.

Many mutated plants are slowly finding their own path in evolution, just like before the end of the world, and some of them still spread through seeds.

So after the end of the world, some mutated plants that are safe to eat were also found in Kyoto.

But most of them are not very tasty and are relatively troublesome to grow.

Very few of them can be grown on a large scale. In the end, it was the Mutant Plant Research Institute that slowly integrated these plants into some seeds from before the apocalypse, and only then did they reap the rewards.

This is the first time that a plant that can bloom and bear fruit at such low temperatures has been discovered, so Kyoto also attaches great importance to this.

Even if these fruits are ultimately proven inedible, they can still extract some genes from this plant and combine them with other plants.

This may help us find a way to grow quickly on our own in such extreme weather conditions where the land is polluted.
