Chapter 8 S-level card Gray Mist
Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and pressed it.
[Congratulations on obtaining the SR-level card Mutant Vine
"The first SR-level card is a mutant plant. It's a pity that you are not an agricultural student, otherwise you would be very happy."]
"Wait! System, is this mutant vine of yours serious?" Qiao Qiao was a little uneasy and didn't dare to take the purple card.
[Survivors, please rest assured that all mutant plants and animals produced by the system are positive mutations, and will have a bird complex for the survivors]
Only then did Qiao Qiao feel relieved to take it.
In the center of the front of the purple card is a dark green vine, giving people a strange contrast feeling of being simple yet weak.
Then a purple light flashed, and a ten-centimeter-long vine appeared in the hand, an ordinary newborn baby's hand.
When the little vine came down for the first time, it was a little confused at first, as if it had just woken up, and one end of the vine shook like a human head.
After a few minutes of rest, the little vine rubbed against Qiao Qiao like a cat, and touched her hand affectionately.
Qiao Huizhou looked at this familiar action and joked with a smile.
"People say pets take after their owners, but I didn't expect plants to take after their owners too. Isn't that what you did when you sucked Xiao Qiao?"
Qiao Qiao touched the tip of his nose a little embarrassedly, "Really? I'm more reserved than it, okay?"
Qiao Xinghe smiled and said nothing.
"Meow!"
Everyone didn't expect that the one who reacted the most was Xiao Qiao.
The calico cat had just finished its meal and was about to jump into Qiao Qiao's arms when it saw the ugly and twisted "snake". The cat's fur stood on end and it screamed.
"Xiao Qiao, calm down, it's just a vine." Qiao Qiao quickly hid the vine in her palm behind her back.
"Meow!" Xiao Qiao didn't believe it and turned around looking for it.
Vine sensed Qiao Qiao's scent on the calico cat, and took the initiative to jump to the ground and crawl over to get close to it.
"Meow!" Xiao Qiao dodged in disgust.
The vines continued to approach, and Xiao Qiao continued to dodge. The cat and the vine were having a lot of fun together.
The game ended only when Xiao Qiao ran out of patience and used his excellent reflexes to press down the vine.
The vine was not annoyed, but continued to stick to it shamelessly.
"It seems like they have a good relationship." Qiao Huizhou joked with a smile.
[Mutated vine: Juvenile stage]
Qiao Qiao saw the information on the vine, "It's worthy of being an SR-level card. The mutant plants produced by the system can actually be upgraded."
Official news release announcement in the evening.
[Affected by the unknown gray fog, all primary and secondary schools will be closed from tomorrow, and all entertainment venues such as square dances, parks, and stadiums will be closed. The specific response time will be notified later. ]
The thick gray fog still affects people's normal lives, and the community owners' group has been very lively recently.
They were either complaining about the thick fog that affected their square dancing, or quarreling over whose child was running back and forth.
In addition to the ambulance that arrived this morning, they have come several times every day during this period. It is said that several elderly people had poor lungs and went to the mahjong hall every day without wearing masks. As a result, they could not breathe and died.
Some workers go to work every day, but they don't take the fog seriously and don't wear masks. As a result, they cough every day, and they didn't realize something was wrong until they coughed up blood.
The hospital is extremely busy every day, and many patients even lie directly in the corridor.
Cough medicine and masks in drugstores have long been sold out. It is said that masks that originally cost 3 yuan a pack are now sold for 20 yuan and there is not much left.
Li Chuxue had been busy stockpiling supplies, and Qiao Qiao received a photo of her wearing protective clothing and a gas mask. After simply reporting that she was safe, she disappeared again.
The supermarket at home has been managed by a manager. Qiao Xinghe mailed 100 masks to each employee and ordered them to wear them during work. So far, no one has fallen ill.
During this period, the trading mall and chat channel are still unavailable.
Qiao Xinghe tried to draw cards five times, and the results were all N-level cards.
A total of 1kg of rice, 1kg of noodles, 12 bottles of mineral water and one pound of grapes were obtained.
Only then did he accept that he was not a European emperor.
Jojo performed three ten-draw combos and obtained 2 R-level cards.
[Congratulations on getting R-level card protective suit*1]
[Congratulations on receiving 5kg*1 of R-grade fertilizer]
[R-grade fertilizer: Plants have a 1% chance of obtaining positive mutations after using it. Nutrient solution dilution ratio 1:1000.]
Qiao Qiao vaguely remembered that there was a little girl in her dream, carrying a pitcher plant that was mutating into a carnivorous plant, with incredible lethality.
I was originally worried that her family’s military strength was not good enough to prevent the situation of “my neighbors hoard food, so I hoard guns, and my neighbors are my granary” from happening.
Now we already have mutant vines, and if we could have a few more plants with positive mutations, we would be completely relieved.
Qiao Qiao used the blue card without hesitation. A 5kg bag of fertilizer appeared on the ground, and he explained the effect to his parents.
"Mom, let's fertilize all the green plants at home. Dad has bad luck, so let's not waste it."
“……”Qiao Xinghe felt heartbroken.
However, I still quietly diluted the fertilizer and water into nutrient solution according to the proportion. 5 kg requires 5000 kg of water.
He diluted them all and put the unused parts into the system backpack.
Qiao Huizhou has always loved growing flowers and has a lot of green plants at home.
There are 10 pots of succulents and lucky bamboo, 2 pots of green ivy, lily of the valley and spider plants, 5 pots of Clivia, 2 pots of cactus and aloe vera.
There are 25 pots of green plants in total.
On average, 2g of fertilizer is applied to each pot of flowers, and 5kg of fertilizer can kill them.
Only products produced by the system can be used every day, but the real nutrient solution can only be watered once every few days.
"Do you need nutrient solution too?" Qiao Qiao looked at the mutant vine wrapped around her wrist, which looked like a dark green bracelet when it was still.
The mutant vine felt the rich breath of life in the nutrient solution and nodded slightly.
Qiao Qiao sprayed the diluted nutrient solution evenly all over the vine.
The vines felt the nourishment and slowly became greener and more vibrant.
It even began to grow slowly, visibly, becoming thicker and stronger.
It changed from its original length of ten centimeters to fifteen centimeters, and from its original thickness of a thumb to that of a baby's arm.
Qiao Qiao looked at the changes in the mutant vines and was full of expectations for her future life.
After absorbing the nutrient solution, the vines wrapped around Qiao Qiao's wrist and remained motionless.
"It looks like it needs time to digest."
Qiao Qiao was not skilled enough and after watering 10 pots of flowers, not a single one showed a positive mutation.
Qiao Huizhou watered 15 pots, and two of them showed positive mutations.
[Positive mutation of cactus occurs, expected in 24 hours]
[Lily of the valley undergoes positive mutation, expected within 24 hours]
"Mom, you are so strong..."
"Wife, you are so strong..."
The father and daughter sighed in unison.
"That's right, don't you see who I am?" Qiao Huizhou joked.
Then he suddenly said, "My annual leave is up, so I have to go back to work tomorrow."
"It's the end of the world anyway, so why not just quit?" Qiao Xinghe frowned. It was too dangerous outside.
Qiao Huizhou thought for a moment, "Forget it, I'll go. There are many national cultural relics in the unit. If the situation gets out of control, these will definitely be evacuated first. If I go to work, I can also inquire about some information.
Don’t worry, our museum’s fresh air system is the best in the world, even better than ours. We just replaced it this year.”
The parents looked at each other. Qiao Huizhou generally would not change his decision.
Qiao Qiao took out two cards, which were used R-level cards of gas mask and protective suit.
"Mom, just in case, you should wear it all the time when you go to work. Dad and I won't be going out for the time being. We have a fresh air system and air filter at home, so we won't need them."
"Yes, wife, you have to meet so many people at work, just listen to Qiao Qiao."
"Okay, don't worry." Qiao Huizhou comforted the two with a smile.
night.
Animals in the Capital Zoo have been behaving abnormally for several days in a row, and even today a Siberian tiger injured a person. If the staff had not been experienced and skilled in handling the situation, there would probably have been a loss of life.
"Brother Feng, why are the animals suddenly acting so abnormally recently? Did something really happen?" Wei Bu, a newcomer who has just worked for less than a year, stared at the monitor intently, afraid of missing any incident.
"It may be the influence of the gray fog. After all, the animals will be stressed after not seeing the sun for five or six days." Liu Wang didn't care.
"But I heard from my classmates that accidents also happened in other zoos, and there was even a macaw that could speak human language." Thinking of the video taken by his classmates, Wei Bu couldn't help but shudder.
"You're a prestigious university student majoring in animal science, but you don't even know this common sense that parrots can speak human language." Liu Wang rolled his eyes at him, took out a cigarette from the drawer, and just smelled it without lighting it.
"It's not just ordinary parrot imitation, but logical communication with people." Wei Bu said in a low voice.
"..." Liu Wang was speechless, "You are dreaming."
"I'm telling the truth." Wei Bu was anxious and took out his mobile phone to find the video to show the other party.
"Where's the video? Why is it gone?" No matter how Wei Bu searched through the chat history, it was all blank. All the other chats with classmates were there, only the video about the macaw was gone.
"You can't find it. You've been too tired recently and your memory is messed up." Liu Wang handed over a mint candy, "Wake up."
"But I really saw it, and even talked to it through video..." Wei Bu thought to himself but did not say it out loud.
Just laugh it off and end the topic, "Haha, maybe."
In a zoo, dozens of birds are gathering in a blind spot of surveillance.
"Humans are such idiots that they don't believe my prediction!" In the center of the flock of birds was a one-meter-long macaw, holding its head high with anger in its eyes.
"Boss, what should we do then? Should we still care about them?" said another small parrot.
"Forget about them. Humans are so stupid that they won't live long. The sky is high and the sea is vast. From now on, just follow me!"
If it weren't for the fact that they could get something for nothing in the zoo and have humans serve and pamper them, the noble macaws would not bother to stay here.
For some reason, my mind has become much clearer recently and I can even think about problems.
Although it had no ability to predict, the animal's keen intuition told it that something was going to happen.
Humans may not be able to protect themselves in the future, so they will naturally have to find a good place to go.
It kindly reminded them because it had been served by humans for such a long time. But they did not believe it and even wanted to send people to capture it for experiments.
They thought they didn't understand it and didn't shy away from studying it, but they didn't know that it had memorized all their plans.
"Go back and make preparations now, take the rice, and leave before dawn." The macaw gave orders.
"Yes, Boss."
When the other birds heard this, they scattered.
The macaw looked at the gray fog in the distance, wondering what it was thinking.
A botanical garden.
In places where no one noticed, plants such as ginkgo trees, pine trees, cacti, and lotus flowers were constantly absorbing particles in the gray fog that were invisible to the naked eye, and began to mutate under its influence.
Such scenes not only happen in the wild, but even the animals and plants in homes are changing quietly.
