Mu Xiaoxing walked in the suburbs under the guidance of Ye Sanbao. The suburbs were desolate, with nothing there. The bare ground faced the loess and the back lay facing the sky.
"Here, drink some water and cross the mountain ahead, and we'll be there."
Ye Sanbao wiped the sweat off his face with a dry towel. They had lost their way before, which wasted a lot of time and resulted in them not reaching their destination before dark.
"How could you get lost?"
Mu Xiaoxing frowned and looked around. The surrounding environment looked a bit weird, with dead trees, withered flowers, and cold wind.
It was already night, the place was quiet and deserted.
The mountain ahead was barely visible, and it was impossible to see how to get over it.
"The route changes every month, and I didn't notice before that the direction sign had been tampered with."
Ye Sanbao looked at Mu Xiaoxing in embarrassment. How could the direction sign be tampered with? Why did those people tamper with it?
"Someone tampered with it... It looks like someone deliberately prevented us from leaving."
After Mu Xiaoxing got off the car, she walked around to see what was going on. Her eyes stayed on a place not far behind her. When did this bush appear?
When they came over, the land was completely bare, with nothing there.
"Ye Sanbao, find someone to hide, I'll go over and take a look." Mu Xiaoxing ordered Ye Sanbao, because Mu Xiaoxing was not sure if it was a bush. It was too dark around and he couldn't see clearly what it was. It looked like a bush.
The depressing environment creates a sense of desolation.
Ye Sanbao didn't say anything and hurriedly found a place to hide. Mu Xiaoxing walked over there with a thick stick.
There must be something over there, because she accidentally saw it move.
What was following them stealthily in the middle of the night?
If it's a wild beast, it's okay, because wild beasts are afraid of fire and light. But if it's a human, it's hard to explain.
Sometimes, people are scarier than ghosts.
Mu Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment, then walked over there with a flashlight. She had to be careful, as there was no safe place in the interstellar space.
When Mu Xiaoxing was about to approach, the haystack suddenly moved and the person inside stood up. He was very tall and covered with green leaves.
It turned out that it was lying down just now, but now after standing up, it was twice as tall as Mu Xiaoxing, almost two meters tall.
"This is..."
Mu Xiaoxing hurriedly pressed the red button on the watch he was wearing. Soon, a green light appeared on the watch, scanning the man.
"System detection report..."
A cold female voice sounded, with a distant tone.
"Test data indicates... type, wild mutant plant... characteristics, adept at disguising itself as bushes... to avoid pursuit."
"Five stars for disgusting...three stars for dangerous..."
"Oh my god, it's actually a mutant plant. What's going on here?"
Mu Xiaoxing's face showed panic. Aren't all the mutant plants imprisoned? How could they appear in such a remote place?
"What's the weakness?"
Mu Xiaoxing continued to ask about the watch, which could detect some information about dangerous people.
"Weakness: fear of light!"
"Is there any other information?"
"Likes to chew on plastic waste."
Mu Xiaoxing suddenly realized that the reason this person followed him and Ye Sanbao was because there were many plastic products in their car.
Those waste products are of no use to them, but to the mutant plants, they are delicious meals.
