...
At this moment, they were unaware that not only were there sawgrass around them, but the entire forest was full of mutated plants. They were attracted by the blood and were all restless. The reason they did not attack immediately was because they sensed that the woman who loved to extract essence had arrived, and thought that these people were useful, so they dared not move.
Who says mutant plants have no intelligence? Mutant plants are actually quite intelligent!
Lin Ruo walked in slowly, avoiding the purslane with every step, not because she was afraid of being cut by the purslane, but because she was afraid of trampling on the purslane that she had worked so hard to grow.
She wasn't carrying any plant-suppressing powder, which Ah Liu sensed. Ah Liu's willow branches drooped to the ground as she quietly followed, wary of any mutated plants that might harm their owner!
She walked beside the dense serrated amaranth, which showed no intention of attacking her. In order to make these mutated plants grow faster, Lin Ruo would sometimes sprinkle some animal blood stored in her space on the ground, which could be considered as feeding them indirectly.
The main reason is that they are not to be trifled with. Last time, a mutated pine tree pricked those two mutated dogs with its branches. It only pricked them once, and the skin wasn't even broken. The two stupid dogs went back and complained.
The woman drained the mutated pine tree, then chopped it into pieces right in front of them, muttering that it would be easier to start a fire this way!
This is blatant intimidation! It's terrifying for plants!
By the moonlight, the group saw Lin Ruo approaching and were astonished to find that she was unaffected by the grass. Their eyes lit up, and they shouted for help.
"Please save us, please."
"We are good people!"
All five of them tried to give Lin Ruo their kindest smiles, hoping that Lin Ruo could save them.
"What are you doing here?" Lin Ruo stopped and asked when she was about ten meters away from them.
The man standing in the middle of the group glanced at them slightly, forced a smile, and replied, "We are survivors from S City."
The people around them started chattering, saying, "We heard the broadcast from the B City base on the radio and traveled hundreds of kilometers to find it."
"We encountered this weed before we even found the base in City B! Please, please save us!"
"We are good people! Please..."
When these people spoke, their eyes darted around, and it was clear they weren't telling the whole truth. If they came to seek refuge at the B City base, why would they come to her mountain peak? They must have something else in mind.
Lin Ruo didn't care whether what he said was true or not. Right now, she was only recalling that in her previous life, she met Fang Ling in City A during the last half month of the extreme heat. According to this timeline, if Fang Ling could still come, she should be here soon. She was looking forward to seeing her again.
Imagining the wonderful scene of seeing Fang Ling again, Lin Ruo smiled and turned to leave.
"Let these people eat."
The surrounding plants, upon hearing this, perked up – it was time to feed them!
All of them stretched out their branches and attacked the men. Seeing the dense plant branches and roots, the five men were terrified. They hadn't realized that there were so many mutated plants lurking around them, waiting for their chance to strike!
Only that woman can save them!
"Come back! We still have other things to tell you!"
"I was wrong! I'm telling the truth!"
"Come back!"
The people behind her shouted at Lin Ruo desperately, but Lin Ruo never turned around. When they saw that Lin Ruo had actually left, their pleas turned into curses.
"Damn it! You bitch! You clearly didn't want to save us, yet you still tried to trick us into talking..." Before he could finish speaking, a vine pierced his chest, and the vine throbbed as it absorbed his flesh and blood, causing him to quickly wither away.
Before long, the mutated plants around them devoured the few survivors on the ground, leaving only skin and bones. The serrated amaranth used its leaves to chop up these skin and bones and buried them in the soil below to serve as nutrients.
The people who were just jumping around a moment ago were completely wiped out, without even a trace left.
Having already teleported back to the fortress, Lin Ruo didn't care about how the five people outside had died. She stretched and thought that since she hadn't been out for half a month, she should go out and replenish the beast meat for Afu and Ashou.
Go check with the base in City B to see if Fang Ling has arrived.
Lin Ruo returned to the fortress, turned off all the air conditioners, put on long sleeves, trousers, and heat-resistant clothing, and then walked out of the fortress.
"Ah Fu and Ah Shou, come on, let's go out and play."
