Honeysuckle spoke calmly.

Xia Maomao's fur almost stood up when

he heard this. His cat eyes widened with fear, "What you mean is that all animals and plants will undergo secondary mutation?!"

"Maybe not secondary." Honeysuckle said, "According to your theory, when toxic substances appear in the environment, they will gradually accumulate in higher organisms through the food chain?"

Xia Lunong asked, "You mean, the cause of this mutation is a certain substance deposited in the mutant animal's body?"

"I don't know." Honeysuckle said, "I can't get more cutting-edge and effective information. But haven't you humans realized this and never eat animals and plants that are too mutated?"

Summer Cat murmured, "That's because eating animals and plants that are too mutated will directly make us sick, not because we know that the enrichment of harmful substances will cause deformities."

Summer Cat recalled how many prey their family had eaten in the past six months, and a sense of fear gradually surged in his heart.

"No!" Summer Cat suddenly recalled and stared at it. "If you follow this theory, you won't compost the giant cows. Composting is actually a kind of enrichment. If doing anything will cause deformation, you will be deformed a long time ago."

"Even so, how do you know I'm not deformed?"

Summer Cat stared at it and shivered with fear. The cat's claws almost couldn't hold the vine in its arms. "You, don't joke like this."

"I'm not kidding."

After saying this, the honeysuckle branches and leaves began to shake. It had used branches and leaves before, but never like this time, the whole ground was shaking faintly.

The giant wolf took two steps back vigilantly with the cat in its mouth.

The others were also ready for battle.

Honeysuckle had no intention of attacking them. It just turned its roots up and brought up a lot of soil in the process. The

dark brown soil surged, and at the same time, a particularly unpleasant stench of decay surged.

The people present had a very sensitive sense of smell, especially the beastly giant wolf and summer cat, whose noses wrinkled and they retreated one after another.

In an instant, dry belching sounds came one after another.

This smell rushed into the nasal cavity, just like a dagger stabbed into the tender nasal cavity, stabbing people painfully.

"Meow" Summer cat cried, swinging its tail back and forth, and spreading its claws, urging his brother to retreat.

The smell was too stinky, he couldn't stand it!

Honeysuckle didn't stop.

Soon, its roots surged up, and a huge ball hung under the black roots.

Summer Cat thought it was a ball of soil, but when it turned the roots up completely and looked carefully, he found that it was actually the root of honeysuckle, which was like a tumor, rotting and leaking wet juice!

Honeysuckle's somewhat weak voice came, "As you can see, this is my distortion."

The scene was too shocking.

Summer Cat swung its tail, not knowing what to say.

Honeysuckle didn't mean to show its roots much. It showed Summer Cat and the others a look and then stuffed it back under the soil.

This process brought another tremor, and everyone almost lost their balance.

After a long time, Honeysuckle finally stuffed the tumor-like rotten roots under the soil.

The pungent smell in the air gradually dissipated. In the evening light, the golden and silver flowers sandwiched between the green leaves were still shining.

Summer Cat looked at the flowers again and couldn't help shuddering.

Honeysuckle: "This deformation had already occurred before I was conscious. Now I can only try to get less nutrition from those animals that have mutated too much to delay the process of this deformation."

Summer Cat thought of the honeysuckle flowers in their truck, "Does your flower also have the substance that causes deformation?"

"Probably not." Honeysuckle said, "Flowers are very fragile and cannot carry foreign objects. The substances in my body that cause deformation were pressed into my roots. Of course, I'm just talking, and I may not know everything about my own situation."

Honeysuckle faced the almost completely dazed Summer Cat and said, "But there's no need to worry too much. It's been so long since the catastrophe, and I've never heard of any news of human deformation. Humans seem to have only two manifestations: normal and dead."

"My mind is a little confused." Summer Cat was stunned for a long time, "Why would you tell us this kind of thing so frankly?"

"Probably because sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity." Honeysuckle said, "In your words, there are countless smart people in the world, and even the most clever lies will be exposed one day."

Summer Cat was shocked, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Honeysuckle said lightly, "What I said may not be true. I don't know much about distortion. You humans need to explore it on your own. I hope you can tell me the corresponding research results when you keep the appointment next spring."

Summer Cat said seriously, "I will, if we have it."

"There is no need to doubt this. There are many smart people among you humans." Honeysuckle's voice sounded a little tired, "It's getting dark, don't you need to go back?"

Summer Cat knew it was seeing off guests, sighed, and was about to say goodbye to it.

Just when he was about to urge his brother to leave, he asked inexplicably, "What can you do? How can we help you?"

"You want to help me?" Honeysuckle's voice sounded very unexpected, "You want to help a guy like me who you don't know if he is an enemy or a friend?"

Summer Maomao said, "As long as it doesn't harm my own interests, I do want to help you."

Honeysuckle seemed to smile, "Thank you. I didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected surprise."

Summer Maomao emphasized, "The premise is that it doesn't harm my own interests."

"I know." Honeysuckle said gently, "If you want, you can take a part of my body out and find a fertile place to plant it. If this part of my body dies, my consciousness will wake up in the part you took away."

Summer Cat asked, "What if this part of your body is fine?"

Honeysuckle replied, "Then it will be an ordinary honeysuckle."

Summer Cat nodded, "I agree, I will find a new place to plant your body, but it will not be planted in our base."

"Understand." Honeysuckle said, "Then trouble you, I will cut a part of my body out."

After saying this, Honeysuckle pulled out its roots again. Countless vines trembled, and the earth was shaking.

Its dark brown roots emerged from the soil like a python, and a foul smell surged.

Summer Cat's furry face was solemn, but it did not retreat or avoid, and looked at the scene in front of it without blinking.

Honeysuckle quickly cut out a section of green vines with roots from the root.

The other vines of Honeysuckle were brown, but only this section of vines was fresh green, and even the roots underneath looked tender and thick.

Honeysuckle wrapped the green vine with roots with its branches and gently handed it to Summer Cat, saying weakly, "Please, find a fertile and safe place to plant it."

Summer Cat nodded seriously, opened its claws, and held the vine in its furry arms.

Honeysuckle smiled and said, "I'm lucky to know you."

Summer Cat: "Me too."

Honeysuckle said, "I'm going to fall asleep for a while, goodbye."

Summer Cat: "Goodbye."

Honeysuckle's branches trembled, as if saying goodbye to Summer Cat and the others, and then soon stopped moving.

Its turned-up roots had not been sorted out, and its leaves were messy, as if it had been destroyed by a strong typhoon on a typhoon day.

Xia Maomao said "take care" in his heart, raised his eyes to his brother, "meow."

This meant that his brother would carry him back.

The giant wolf did as he was told.

Soon, the wolf and the cat returned to the truck and turned back into human form.

While Xia Lunong was getting dressed, she gloomily repeated her conversation with Honeysuckle.

Yan Xinian said, "The distortion is a serious matter. When we return, we will send a telegram to contact other bases to see if any bases have produced any research results. Don't worry about it now. The catastrophe happened not one or two days ago. We have eaten so much food. If this theory is true, humans would have been extinct long ago."

Xia Lunong responded with a serious face, looked down at the two sections of Honeysuckle vines, and sighed silently.

Xia Huoqu rubbed his head, "We'll study it slowly after we go back."

Xia Lunong asked, "Are we still

going into the city?" "Not for now." Yan Xinian said, "Since Honeysuckle has specifically reminded us, the city is probably very dangerous. Besides, we have collected a lot of supplies and information this time, so we have to go back and digest it first."

They only have four trucks now, and the transportation capacity is limited. No matter how much supplies they collect, they can't transport them back.

Xia Huoqu said, "Let's have a good rest tonight, and accompany Lao Liu and Dr. Ou to collect tomorrow, and try to set off for the base tomorrow afternoon."

Xia Lunong nodded.

That night they drove the car back to the football field.

The giant bulls have been driven away. They have suffered heavy casualties. It is estimated that they will not dare to bother them in the short term. They are relatively safe on the football field.

Xia Lunong was busy all day and all night. Not only did he use his supernatural powers many times, but he was also exposed to a huge amount of information. He felt a little groggy.

After returning to the base, he ate two kilograms of boiled beef. After eating, he dragged his sleeping bag to the car and lay down.

He fell asleep before it got dark. Xia Lunong did not need to keep watch that night. He slept soundly until dawn.

When he woke up again, his nasal cavity was dry, his throat was hoarse, and he did not feel very comfortable.

He got up exhausted and looked outside. It was a cloudy day. No wonder he always felt that it was not dawn.

"Awake?" Kong Zhi's voice rang out beside him, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No." Xia Lunong spoke, but her voice was extremely hoarse. She licked her lips, which were so dehydrated that they looked like a dry balloon.

His eyes went dark, and Kong Zhi reached out from the side and touched his head.

The warm palm was placed on his forehead for a moment, and he said, "You have a cold."

Xia Lunong blinked, weakly, "I was wondering why I felt uncomfortable everywhere today, no wonder."

Kong Zhi helped him up, "Go downstairs and brush your teeth, wash your face and eat something. Doctor Ou will be back later, let her treat you."

"Where are Doctor Ou and the others?"

"They went to collect supplies." Kong Zhi said, "Captain Yan and Brother Huo Qu also went with them. Now there are only two of us left in the temporary camp to look after the house."

Xia Lunong said distressedly, "My brother and Brother Xi Nian have worked so hard."

"Yeah." Kong Zhi said, "Every bit of respect they receive is not in vain."

Xia Lunong's nose was sour, and she sighed softly.

Kong Zhi said, "Don't think about it. Captain Yan said this morning that there will be big moves after returning to the base this time."

Xia Lunong: "Yeah?"

He just took a nap, why is there going to be a big move?
