Ruan Ning looked at the flower pot from left to right, but she didn't realize that Xiaohua could be so ferocious after growing up. If Gu Yicheng hadn't told her this today, she probably wouldn't have noticed Xiaohua at all, considering that she was not even as big as her palm.

It’s just… Xiaohua has such an amazing skill, but as her master, she didn’t know about it until now! This is simply, simply a waste of talent!!

After Ruan Ning knew about Xiaohua's origin, she loved it very much. The first thought that flashed through her mind was - as long as Xiaohua was by her side, wouldn't she no longer have to worry about the appearance of zombies? ?

You ask why? Of course it is because it is the nemesis of zombies!

With a mutant plant that can devour zombies, life in the future will be simply too blissful.

Ruan Ning wanted to kiss Xiaohua twice to express her excitement.

In fact, she did just that.

Ruan Ning held the flowerpot in both hands, smiled and kissed the leaves of the small flower, looking very happy.

Although the small flower in the flowerpot didn't understand the meaning of this human's action, it slowed down the speed of swallowing the crystal core because it sensed her approaching, and the color of the flower bud became a little darker, as if it was shy.

Seeing how intimately Ruan Ning was acting towards a mutant plant, Gu Yicheng's eyes darkened and he felt a little regretful for telling her the use of this blind little fellow.

When Ruan Ning was still trying to do something to Xiaohua to express her joy and excitement, Gu Yicheng slowly snatched the mutant plant from her. When the girl looked at him in confusion, he said calmly, "I can't guarantee that it won't attack humans, so for safety reasons, let me take care of Xiaohua for the time being."

In the past, when huge creatures like giant flowers first appeared, many surrounding cities were terrified, because before that, there had been many incidents of mutated plants attacking humans. Everyone was worried that the giant flowers would also pose a threat to humans like these mutated plants. However, they found that the giant flowers seemed to be different from other mutated plants, and it was rare for giant flowers to attack humans because they really didn't like humans.

Gradually, everyone came to a conclusion that as long as humans do not take the initiative to attack the giant flower, it will not bother with humans. The flesh and blood of humans has almost no appeal to it, far less than the crystal cores in the heads of zombies that only act on instinct.

The reason why Gu Yicheng said this just now was simply because he didn't want this mutated plant to continue to be a lightbulb between him and Ning Ning.

What's more, Xiaohua was raised by Ruan Ning and is very close to her, so this kind of situation is unlikely to happen to her.

However...

Gu Yicheng released the aura of a fifth-level psychic, stared at the flower bud trembling in his hand, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Anyway, he now finds this little thing inexplicably annoying, so he might as well train it first.

After hearing what Gu Yicheng said, Ruan Ning felt a little disappointed and asked reluctantly, "Brother, can't you let me raise Xiaohua? Xiaohua has been very well behaved by my side these days and has never hurt me, so she won't do anything to me in the future, right?"

The key is that with such a powerful mutant plant by her side, won't she be able to walk among the zombies when she goes out of the base for leisure in the future?

Ruan Ning originally wanted to find an opportunity to take Xiaohua out to try out the effect. However, if Xiaohua was taken away by Gu Yicheng, she probably wouldn't have any chance to practice in the near future.

Gu Yicheng saw through her thoughts at a glance, and with a hint of helplessness in his smile, he said: "Ningning, Xiaohua has not fully grown yet. Do you think Xiaohua can swallow other zombies at its current level?" After all, the current Xiaohua is still just a small flower, and the gap between it and the giant flower in the previous life is not ordinary. Only when it grows up can it become a great help.

“…”

Ruan Ning stared at Xiaohua again and again. What he said made sense. She had to admit that Xiaohua was weaker than her now. She could only shake her head with regret. Even though Xiaohua's flower bud had grown a lot in size in the past two days because it had swallowed some crystal cores, it could only swallow crystal cores as big as a fingernail. The zombie was the same size as a human. With its body size, it really couldn't swallow this huge thing. Maybe the zombie could crush the whole plant to death with one foot.

Ruan Ning thought so and could only give up the right to raise Xiaohua temporarily. He said sullenly, "...Well, Xiaohua will be in your care for the time being. You must treat her well and don't bully her."

Gu Yicheng looked normal, and no one could tell that he had any problems. "Of course, I will take good care of him."

In fact, he had already planned to find an opportunity to plant this mutant plant outside the base. Otherwise, if it were kept so delicate, it would take a long time for it to grow into a useful giant flower.

Xiaohua felt the hostility of the powerful man beside her, and the flower bud couldn't help but tremble twice. Its tentacles instinctively wanted to go to the direction of the girl standing on the other side to seek shelter. Unfortunately, before it could move, it was ruthlessly suppressed by Gu Yichen beside it. The flower bud suddenly wilted halfway, and could only accept the reality before it with grievance.

Recently, the Cui family has become famous in the Hope Base because of a mutant plant that can produce fruits that help enhance superpowers.

For a while, the Cui family could be said to be the most prominent one. I hope that no one in the base can surpass the Cui family for the time being.

The reason is that for the survivors, the temptation to enhance their superpowers is too great.

If at the beginning, most of the psychics in the Hope Base still held skeptical views, their thoughts changed after they witnessed several psychics who had eaten the fruit break through the bottleneck period and reach a higher level.

From being hesitant and waiting, to following others to grab this fruit, fearing that this opportunity will be snatched away by others in advance.

It is precisely because of this that the fruit that can help psychics improve their abilities is also sold at a sky-high price in the Hope Base. Ordinary psychics simply cannot afford this kind of thing, and the Cui family makes a lot of money from it.

After all, not only the psychics in the Hope Base were trying to get this fruit, but also the psychics in other bases around them were asking around for information about this fruit, hoping to get a piece of it and then use it to break through their own psychic bottlenecks.

Whenever Ruan Ning went out during this period, he could even hear people at the base discussing this matter everywhere.

However, some retribution is not that it will not come, but that the time has not come yet.

As the days passed, in just one month, some problems within the Cui family were gradually exposed.

——The Cui family, which claimed that they "cultivated this mutant plant themselves", was unable to follow up with the cultivation.

In other words, they originally had a few mutant plants, but now only a few of them can produce such fruits. All the Cui family can do now is to speed up the fruiting of the mutant plants, but they cannot increase the number of plants themselves.

Everyone in the Cui family was almost going crazy because of this discovery. Everyone knew the importance of this mutant plant to the development of their family. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have been in the limelight in recent times. But none of them thought that this mutant plant would cause such a big problem, and there was no way to solve it, as if they were stuck in a dead end.

At present, only Cui Hongzhuang and her subordinates in the Cui family know where these mutant plants came from. When she first went to the breeding center to steal mutant plants, she thought about this problem, but she didn't take it too seriously at that time.

She felt that since the people at the breeding center were able to develop this variety from scratch, there was no reason why the Cui family couldn't replicate an identical one after they already had a sample.

However, reality finally slapped Cui Hongzhuang in the face. Even after getting the real samples, the Cui family was still unable to copy something exactly the same.

When the people below told her the news, Cui Hongzhuang was furious. The Cui family had recently spent a lot of time to cultivate all the other varieties that were brought in along with this mutant plant. However, they still couldn't cultivate this mutant plant variety that they needed the most and was the most valuable, and there was no progress at all.

With no other options, the Cui family could only try to find a solution while hiding the news from others, not letting them know that this mutated plant had this defect.

However, because the reputation of this fruit that can help psychics improve their abilities is growing day by day, the psychics and other forces in the base are trying every means to find out the news every day. There is no wall that is impenetrable in the world, and the things they want to hide will eventually become difficult to hide.

At first, everyone thought that the Cui family was implementing a hunger marketing policy to drive up the price of this fruit. It was not until now that people discovered that the amount of this fruit sold was getting smaller and smaller, even to an absurd level, that the problem was exposed.

Like other big and small forces in the Hope Base, the Gu family and the army have also been trying to find out about this fruit. Although the army is mostly composed of ordinary people, there are also many people with special abilities, and they will not miss this opportunity to let other forces catch up with them with this thing, thereby suppressing their power.

This time, the Gu family acted in time and managed to snatch a few fruits. Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng also saw it with their own eyes in the army.

Ruan Ning had tasted this kind of fruit when she was in the training center. As an insider, she naturally knew more inside information than other people in the Hope Base.

She guessed that the Cui family's inability to cultivate this mutant plant might have a lot to do with the big locust tree in the cultivation center. Yu Yiyi had mentioned to her before that the cultivation of this special mutant plant was related to the big locust tree.

Since the origin of Xiaohua, a mutant plant growing next to the big locust tree, is so unusual, it is likely that this mutant plant, which can only be successfully cultivated with the help of the big locust tree, must also have a close connection with it.

However, because the training center guarded this secret very well, the Cui family did not know how special the locust tree was to them, so naturally they did not think about it above this level.

Ruan Ning certainly wouldn't tell the Cui family about this. The more anxious they were and the more dire their situation, the happier she would be. There was no reason for her to help a person she hated solve a problem.

But what puzzled her was that the Chaoyang Base Breeding Center had not made any response or counterattack to the Cui family's recent rise and actions, nor had they re-cultivated the mutant plants to tell everyone that they were the real owners of these mutant plants and that it was the Cui family who sent people to steal their research results.

Ruan Ning still remembered that a month ago, Yu Xian and her group left Hope Base without saying a word. They came and left in a hurry, so she didn't know what their plans were for the Cui family.

As the theft had a huge impact on the training center, she didn't want to mention their sadness anymore, so she didn't want to ask more questions and could only pretend that she knew nothing.

However, based on Ruan Ning's understanding of Yu Xian and her group, the training center is not the kind of person who will compromise easily, otherwise they would not have come here in person a month ago. They will always defend their own achievements.

So the training center suddenly did nothing this time. There must be something that they were unaware of that caused them to not take any action.
