Chapter 86
The white hydrangea handed over the communicator, but the cat's tail grass only glanced at it, indicating that she didn't want to look at it right now.
Qian Hui also noticed the communicator in Bai Xiuhua's hand and looked down in surprise, "Kitty, is this yours?"
The cat's tail paused, and it nodded rather reservedly: "Woo."
There's no point in hiding it. If it hadn't managed to contact the base beforehand, who knows what might have happened today.
Curious, Qianhui picked up the communicator and turned it on, just in time to see the message sent by Chili.
He was even more surprised, and scrolled up again, his eyes widening: "Kitty, you..."
At this moment, the chili peppers and bell peppers slowly moved closer, pressed against Qian Hui's hand, and stared intently at the cat's tail grass.
The bell pepper was still a little dizzy. How did the cat's tail grass contact them? Did it secretly come to the vicinity a long time ago?
"Huh?" Sweet Pepper asked, voicing its doubts. Cattail patted its head with the tip of its tail.
"Hmm." This is so simple, it doesn't require any effort at all.
Bell pepper scratched his head, while chili pepper, holding a communicator, coughed lightly, looking extremely nervous.
It greeted the cat's tail grass cautiously and solemnly, saying that it was the plant that had always been connected with it.
Chili's feelings were complicated; she was both excited and incredulous.
It longed to meet that mysterious plant, primarily because the plant also used human language and communication devices.
This is very rare among mutant plants. Even plants as familiar as lettuce and carrots only knew a few simple numbers before establishing the base.
So the chili pepper felt that it had to find a chance to meet the other plant and see what kind of plant it was, no matter what.
Unexpectedly...
Chili also witnessed Cattail Grass arriving just in time and successfully turning the tide of the battle, which helped her understand some of her previous doubts.
No wonder... this mysterious plant is truly amazing!
Chili looked at Cat's Tail Grass with utter adoration, her eyes sparkling.
Cattail grass tilted its head and looked over: "Woof..."
Actually, it recognized the sound as soon as it heard it.
This little skinny pepper is not bad... its skills are quite impressive too.
Chili understood the praise in Cat's Tail Grass's words and became even more delighted and excited.
Bell pepper watched from the side, but seemed a little unhappy.
It waited silently for Chili and Cat's Tail Grass to chat for a few more minutes, then found an excuse to pull Chili away.
Upon reaching a quieter meadow, Chili's excitement remained undiminished. Sweet Pepper, though hesitant to speak, couldn't resist asking, somewhat haltingly, if Chili could also teach him to read.
Chili peppers had mentioned this before and had taught carrots and carnivorous plants about it, but sweet peppers felt that knowing human writing was useless and always made excuses not to learn.
Upon hearing this, Chili immediately nodded: "Woo!"
sure!
Although we now have a plant dictionary, plants can only use human communication devices, and the symbols in it are not comprehensive enough.
Once we learn to write, everyone can carry a communicator with them when they go out, so we can communicate promptly if anything happens.
The bell pepper was delighted and secretly resolved to know more words than the cattail grass.
Cattail Grass on the other side was completely unaware of this. It had been traveling all night using its powers and had recently unleashed a charged attack, so it was impossible for it not to be tired.
It nestled comfortably in Qian Hui's arms and ate two more pills.
The game interface in front of Qian Hui was open, displaying the encyclopedia information for Cat's Tail Grass.
[Variety]: Cat's Tail Grass
[Rank]: Top Grade
[Status]: Feeling tired
Loyalty: 100%
[Basic Skill]: Tail Needle (maximum 30 shots in a row, semi-control, 80% accuracy)

[Berserk Skill]: Spatial Compression/Expansion/Movement (within 500m?)
[Preparation Details]: None available.
This skill... seems pretty powerful. No wonder the massive attacks that were aimed at the base back then could be redirected and repositioned.
Qianhui seemed to understand, but not quite. She then took some food and fed it to the cat's tail grass.
Cattail Grass sniffed carefully, then opened its mouth and slowly ate Qian Hui's hand, completely forgetting that it had said it was leaving not long ago.
While feeding the cat's tail grass, Qianhui also fed a few bites to the white hydrangea next to her. The other new plants were being taken care of by Xiaobaocai and a few others not far away.
The white hydrangea was still secretly observing Qian Hui. After eating the food he fed her, she couldn't help but move closer and boldly stretched out her hands.
Seeing that it was affectionate towards her, Qianhui simply picked it up and hugged it too.
Suddenly receiving the same treatment as the boss, the white hydrangea shrank back and dared not move until it was sure that the cat's tail grass had no intention of driving it away, and then it slowly relaxed.
It raised its head, curiously reached out, and touched Qian Hui's silver hair.
The surrounding plants were either busy or resting, and before long, the four aircraft returned to base.
The carrot and several other plants immediately went up to them and asked about the situation outside.
Upon hearing Potato say that a rock had been thrown high into the sky and hit the aircraft, Lettuce confirmed that it was indeed the giant corpse, which loved to do this.
Corn touched the small dent on the edge of the aircraft with heartache, while Potato was still shaken.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly... However, the zombie king did not ultimately show up; the stones and more than ten low-level zombies were probably just testing the waters.
Fortunately, the cattail grass arrived in time, and the battle with the superhuman team ended relatively quickly. Although the plants were exhausted, with the base's defenses, they still had the energy to fight the zombies.
Alternatively, the giant corpse may have a large horde of corpses, and not all of them have yet arrived in this area, so it will not act rashly.
In any case, the giant corpse hasn't left after all this time, so its destination must be here.
Qian Hui had a vague worry: "Does it also want to attack us?"
In the past, when zombie hordes attacked human bases, they rarely targeted anyone specifically, but the existence of a plant base was indeed unprecedented.
Moreover, the plants successfully killed Zombie King 03. If 02 knew this, they would probably feel threatened, which is why they set their sights on the plant base.
Just when we've solved one big problem, another one has arisen.
The plants gradually gathered around, and the sunflower's light shimmered slightly.
The carrot looked serious, while the carnivorous plant stood beside a large pea, a cabbage, and nuts.
Lettuce rubbed his hands together and gave a cold laugh.
Bring it on, who's afraid of who?
I'm not the pathetic version of myself I was that day anymore; its sedative smoke is very effective against zombies.
Yuzu quietly approached, touched her belly, and fell into deep thought.
Its charged attack will be ready by tonight; I wonder if it will be just as effective against zombies.
Cattail listened in silence, then stood up, stretched, and jumped off Qian Hui's arms.
It circled around Qianhui, raised its chin to examine all the plants around it, and finally sat down on the grass in front of it.
Cattail flicked its tail and cried out, "Woo!"
That's right, what's there to be afraid of? I'm here.
The plants it brings can also be helpful.
Upon hearing the leader's command, more than twenty colorful flowering plants nearby stood up in response.
The peony flower waved its leaves like fists, making the loudest sound: "Whoa!"
Qianhui picked up the cattail grass again and stroked the tiny leaf tips that had sprouted on its head: "Kitty, will you stay forever? We all miss you."
Cattail pretended to think, and demurely swayed the tip of its tail: "Woo."
Since that's the case, we can stay here for now and deal with those zombies first.
Sunflower helped relay the message, and Qianhui automatically ignored the word "temporarily," happily picking up Cattail Grass and kissing it.
All the plants that used to grow in the courtyard have now returned to his side, and Nan Tingjin is also there, so they really have nothing to fear.
Cattail Grass paused for a second, pushed Qian Hui aside, jumped off the grass, and reached out to straighten her headscarf.
Not far away, Little Cabbage stood on tiptoe and curiously asked Cabbage if the new cat was particularly powerful.
Their logistics team remained inside the base and was unable to observe the battle unfolding outside.
Before the cabbage could make a sound, Big Pea quietly crept over and whimpered, "Mmm!"
Whatever you do, don't mess with it!
Of all the plants in the courtyard, the cat's tail grass isn't actually that powerful.
However, its advanced skills are very special. When fighting it, the fist it throws might hit you in the face the next second... It's impossible to defend against!
Little Cabbage was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Cattail Grass wearing a pink headscarf.
—
With no new zombies appearing outside the base and the area confirmed safe, Yuanji's team went out again to clean up the remains and traces of the battle and imprisoned the few survivors.
At the same time, multiple bases learned the outcome of the battle.
The main base of Sky Base was destroyed, the pharmaceutical factory was completely reduced to ruins, and the remaining supporters of Wen Jue also suffered a complete defeat.
Nan Tingjin returned to the base, and Yuan Ji accompanied him on his return journey.
“I have already arranged for another team,” Yuan Ji said, “to go to the Jianghai base to search for Wen Jue’s whereabouts.”
According to those who have been imprisoned, Wen Jue's health has been very poor recently, and many of his subordinates have secretly escaped.
He doesn't have many people with him and can't go anywhere. He should still be at the Jianghai base. It would be best to go and check on him as soon as possible.
Once the dispatched team finds him, they will capture him alive, drug him, and then bring him back to the base to be handed over to Qianhui and the plants.
“Okay, thank you,” Qianhui instructed, “Be careful.”
“Yes, his ability can’t hurt anyone,” Yuan Ji said confidently. “We are fully prepared and will set off quietly at night.”
Nighttime is the safest time because the zombies are dormant. The team took a shortcut and, with the help of other bases, made their way there. They should be back early tomorrow morning.
Qian Hui was still a little worried, and seeing this, the Mimosa took the initiative to step forward and carefully placed her fingertips on Yuan Ji's fingertips.
It can help you discover various situations along the way, as well as the hiding place of Wen Jue.
Yuan Ji was flattered and picked up the mimosa plant, which had shrunk to the size of a fingernail: "Okay... thank you."
By now, the Black Ridge Mountain base and the plants have become familiar with each other and have even fought together, but they have only interacted with a few plants like Carrot.
It's probably the first time that a plant as capable as the mimosa, which is a support plant, has been willing to actively assist humans.
With the help of the sunflower's light, the carrot arrived and helped the mimosa teach Yuanji how to distinguish signals, such as raising the left leaf to indicate a zombie, and raising the right leaf to indicate a plant...
Cattail Grass squatted on the grass and glanced at Yuanji a few times, then looked at Nantingjin, who had returned to Qianhui's side.
Hmph... whatever.
Cattail grass stretched again and caught sight of a small mango running past.
It ignored it, looked up and around, trying to find a suitable place to sleep.
Hmph... it quite likes this new little courtyard.
