Zhao Maomao held up a yellowish-brown, purplish-red plant with wilted leaves at the top: "I just picked it up."
Xia Chuhe tied the tentacles a few more times and then tossed them into a corner of the farm, still feeling uneasy.
Then he took the withered plant from Zhao Maomao's hand and turned over the leaves: "It looks a bit like sugarcane, and it looks like it died of dehydration."
“Oh, boss, when you rode away on the carrot, a lot of water gushed out of the ditch and flooded all the crevices,” Li Qiusheng added.
Xia Chuhe casually tossed the sugarcane into the farm: "Perhaps the carrots drained all the water, causing the soil to crack and the sugarcane to die of thirst."
Xia Chuhe didn't forget to reward Zhao Maomao: "You picked up the sugarcane. When Five Star Company issues points, I'll give you 10,000 separately."
Zhao Maomao quickly waved her hand: "No need. I didn't even help in finding the carrots. I found the sugarcane with Sister Lu. Let's share it together."
Xia Chuhe smiled but didn't say anything.
The search for carrots looked thrilling, but it actually only took a little over an hour.
After a brief discussion, the group decided to continue deeper into the area to find more plants.
Xia Chuhe quickly washed his hands and face, still thinking about how to hunt carrots.
Although the carrot has mutated, its hunting behavior is still that of a plant, just like the Venus flytrap and sundew in civilized society.
In civilized society, plants trap insects by secreting scents and sticky substances that attract them, then trap and eat them.
In the wasteland, mutated plants also set traps, waiting for their prey to fall into them. Once the trap is destroyed, the plant has no means of attack when faced with the prey.
Xia Chuhe wiped the water off his face. He had only encountered one carrot; the sample size was too small, and he still couldn't let his guard down.
Li Qiusheng volunteered to scout ahead: "I'll look around first, so I don't fall into the plant trap again."
Xia Chuhe agreed: "Be careful, and come back immediately if anything seems amiss."
Li Qiusheng darted into the ground and moved forward, this time at a much slower pace.
Less than a minute after Li Qiusheng left, Xia Chuhe blinked and exclaimed, "Did you guys see that? The sky is so blue!"
