Red petals scattered from the top, like red darts, flying rapidly in all directions.
Before I could even savor the joy of impending victory, the darts were already upon me.
"Be careful, watch out for the petals on your head." It was Li Xiao and the others, who were standing some distance away, who noticed Bajiao's condition first.
With its leaves breaking off, perhaps due to a severe blow, the banana plant became enraged and made a desperate gamble.
Before Shao Jie and the others could react, Meng Yang noticed first and quickly used a vine to roll up Shao Jie, who was still within the attack range of the banana tree, and threw him far away.
He quickly reminded Qiu Fengyu to be careful and to move away as fast as possible.
Shao Jie was still dazed after being thrown to the ground and didn't know what had happened.
It wasn't until a few "plop plop plop" sounds that the petals hitting the ground caught his attention.
He picked up the red dart, which was less than 10 centimeters from him, bewildered, still not understanding what it was. He examined it closely. "It looks like a flower petal. What is this?"
"You almost turned into a hedgehog because of those flower petals, do you know that?" Xiao Peng said irritably.
Shao Jie finally snapped out of his daze and quickly got up. Holding the flower petals, he stared blankly at the two-story-high banana tree roof.
There was nothing left there, except for a few rare green leaves that hadn't been cut down.
Shao Jie then opened his eyes wide in disbelief and said, "Wow, you can play it like this?"
No one expected that the banana plant would abandon its own flowers.
It seems it understands very well that if it continues like this, it will only end up dead.
In order to survive, it had to use special means.
Luckily it was quick-witted, otherwise, the people standing in front of it would have become targets.
Like a petal dart with a tail feathers, it pierces the ground; the petal is already halfway into the ground. Just imagine how much force it must have.
Li Xiao and the others were initially standing a little distance away, but when they saw the change, they ran over in a few steps.
"It's alright, it's alright." Shao Jie waved his hand repeatedly, comforting the people who were looking at him.
Faced with the questioning looks from the group, Meng Yang, who was standing to the side, confirmed that there was indeed no problem before giving up.
"I never imagined that mutated plants could be used as weapons. It seems we'll have to be more careful from now on," Yu Yanbin said, frowning.
"Yes, I really didn't expect that. Everyone should be careful in the future, there are quite a few segments."
Everyone looked serious as they gazed at Basho, who was now all alone.
The mutated plant is currently only attacking with its own power; it has no other means of attack.
Like zombies, some even have superpowers.
I wonder if mutated plants will develop superpowers like zombies?
Who knows? Anything can happen these days, so it's best to be extra careful.
You only have one life; there are no extras to take risks with.
Finally, the banana leaf was quickly sliced by Shao Jie, it seems that almost being turned into a target still angered him.
Xiao Peng went up to him and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
This house is a bit better; the banana trees are farther away and don't completely block out the view of the house.
However, it's only slightly better. The house is dilapidated, covered in a thick layer of dust, and there's no desire to even go inside.
I made it back to the house on the hill before dark.
After a long day, everyone just wants to sit down and rest.
They all washed themselves clean and found a place to sit down.
Li Xiao had already set out the meal. After what she said last night, today's meal consisted of eggplant, cucumber salad, stir-fried dried shiitake mushrooms and carrot slices, and seaweed and dried shrimp soup.
It's still served in a large bowl, and the portion is quite generous.
No one complained about the fact that the meals were all vegetarian. They all understood that every bit of food was precious. Being able to eat and be able to eat their fill at every meal was already a great blessing.
Whether I eat meat or not is really not a big deal. Being able to eat it every few days is pure bliss.
Cherish the present moment, and stop complaining and being unrealistic.
After the meal, the team leader invited everyone to sit down together and summarize the day's achievements.
"As you all saw today, the plants have mutated and are showing aggressive tendencies. We're not sure if they have superpowers yet, but if they do, it will be even more troublesome." Yu Yanbin, as the team leader, started today's topic.
"Also, we need to improve our teamwork today. Shao Jie, you were careless today. If Uncle Meng hadn't pulled you back, you would have been bleeding today."
Everyone turned to look at Shao Jie as he spoke.
Shao Jie felt very embarrassed by everyone's stares, realizing that he had been too casual today and hadn't expected the seriousness of the situation.
"I understand, and I promise this will never happen again." He lowered his head and made a fawning promise to everyone.
"Yes, you know that's good. If you do it again next time, no one will help you, and you'll be the one who gets hurt and bleeds."
"I know, I know. I promise, I absolutely won't." He was so afraid they wouldn't believe him that he practically raised his hand to swear.
Seeing him like this, everyone watched his performance with amusement.
"Also, I've taken a look, and this county town doesn't seem to have any supplies. Tomorrow, we'll split into two teams. One team will deal with those mutated plants in the front, and the other team will go inside and check. What do you guys think?"
Actually, this isn't bad; everyone has something to do. Today, Li Xiao and the others didn't have much to do, just watching them deal with the mutated plants.
"Yes, I think that's a good idea. Let's go find supplies." Li Xiao quickly raised her hand.
Tian Tian also quickly expressed her opinion, saying that she didn't want to just sit back and watch the show without doing anything.
"Okay, so, Shaolin, Uncle Meng, Shaojie, and I will deal with the mutated plants. Xiaoxiao, Tiantian, Xiaopeng, Fengyu, and Yongnian, you guys go and search for supplies. It's just a bag of milk, be careful."
"Uh-huh."
"Yes."
"Okay, it's settled then, go and rest."
After finishing their business, and with nothing else to do, they all went to rest.
Li Xiao thought it was still early, so she wondered if she should prepare some more food. Even if she wasn't cooking lunch, she still needed to have some food stored up.
Without hesitation, I got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Tian Tian saw Li Xiao get up and head towards the kitchen. Not knowing what she was going to do, she got up and followed her.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
Li Xiao turned to look at Tian Tian, who had followed her in. "Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about making something to eat and leaving it out. It's still early, no rush to go to sleep."
"Oh, I see. Then I'll help."
The place wasn't big, and everyone else could hear what they were saying.
Qiu Fengyu didn't say anything and turned to walk in the direction they had started.
“Then we’ll all help.” Shao Jie was interested in this and happily got up.
"Okay, okay, let's all come quickly."
"Come on, Uncle Meng, let's go together."
"Haha, you kid."
"Ha ha."
Seeing that everyone was moving, Li Xiao smiled.
This way we can do more, which is perfect.
