Chapter 199 204. Initial clues
That night, Qiao Zixi quietly went to the underground crack. As soon as she landed, she saw a faint light flash. She squatted on the ground and observed for a while, and found that it only took a few seconds for the flower to appear and bloom and wither. As soon as the flower bloomed, the unknown energy dissipated.
If you want to pick its flower, you have to pick it the second it appears.
One night, Qiao Zixi watched over the Epiphyllum closely, picked it up quickly the second it appeared, and placed it in a jade box.
When the sky brightened, the Epiphyllum no longer appeared. Qiao Zixi had a premonition that this flower was extremely useful and might be useful in the future, so before leaving, he set up a formation here to protect it.
After returning to the village, Qiao Zixi opened the door and met everyone's embarrassed gazes. He then calmly closed the door.
"Sister-in-law, did you pick it?" Lin Jun rushed forward and asked expectantly.
Seeing Qiao Zixi nod, he felt excited.
Jian Chengan asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, do you know what this flower does?"
Qiao Zixi opened the jade box and took out a flower at random. Everyone held it in their hands and passed it around to look at it. It was a small bud, covered from head to toe in a layer of black sand, with no leaves. The entire flower and branches together were only as long as a finger, very small and exquisite.
Tian Yuanyuan put it under her nose and sniffed it, but there was no smell at all.
Qiao Zixi looked at everyone who was confused and at a loss as to where to start, and said, "This flower grows in a specific environment. It blooms at night and disappears at dawn, which means it is afraid of light. Once it appears, it blooms and then withers. The whole process is fleeting, which means it is fast. So what makes its life disappear so quickly? Have you ever thought about it?"
After hearing what Qiao Zixi said, everyone fell into deep thought.
"Growth hormone?" Han Yixiao suddenly said.
Lin Shishi muttered these three words and slowly began to speak, "Auxin has a dual effect: it can both promote and inhibit growth; it can both promote and inhibit germination; it can both prevent flower and fruit drop and thin out flowers and fruit; it has a dual nature: it can both promote and inhibit growth, and even kill plants."
At this point, seeing that everyone was puzzled, he continued to explain, "This kind of flower must be extremely rich in auxin. It grows and dies, which perfectly embodies the dual nature of auxin."
After hearing this, Han Yixiao thought that if this growth hormone was applied to the zombies, then eliminating the zombies would be effortless.
Han Yixiao expressed his guess, and Qiao Zixi looked at him with appreciation.
"Yes, that's why I brought it back."
The others were overwhelmed by great surprise for a moment. This meant that the end of the world would end and a new era would begin. They would be witnesses of this great feat!
"Is this true?" After a while, Tian Yuanyuan asked dreamily. Even in her previous life, the apocalypse lasted for many years, and she did not see the final result. Even if it ended, it must be many years later. By that time, no one knew how many humans would still exist on Earth.
Everyone was so excited that they couldn't wait to announce the good news to the whole world.
Only Lin Shishi said negatively, "Extracting auxin isn't easy, especially something this active. Furthermore, the environment and time it takes for this flower to grow exacerbates the difficulty."
These words were undoubtedly like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone, and everyone looked at Qiao Zixi at the same time.
I am very grateful to my dear friends for giving me rewards, voting for monthly tickets, and voting for recommendations. Thank you for being there!
