Xia Lunong didn't know what his brother and his old brother said.

When he got up the next day, the atmosphere between everyone had returned to normal, as if the argument had never happened.

Xia Lunong looked at his brother, then at Old Liu, and shut up, saying nothing.

Today they are going to Shangyan District to find the rose.

It is already the middle of winter, and no one knows what variety the rose is, whether it sheds its leaves, or whether it is easy to find.

Xia Lunong quickly recalled the precautions for planting roses that he had read in the book, taking notes while organizing his words in his mind.

To meet a rose of this level is almost like meeting a big boss, he has to think it over in advance, otherwise things will be very troublesome if he fails to reach an agreement later.

Apart from him, not many people care about the rose.

In the eyes of Lao Liu and his friends, no matter how powerful plants are, they cannot leave their original place and can only do so much. They do not need to worry at all.

Xia Lunong disagrees with this view.

Plants are much more capable than most people imagine. For example, his summer pepper, in addition to having certain attack capabilities, can also exchange information with other plants and obtain intelligence.

Xia Lunong prepared seriously.

Lao Liu and his friends were also preparing seriously.

They checked the map, trying to find out what was in the Shangyan District before the disaster, so that they could collect supplies later.

Everyone finished breakfast in a tense atmosphere, boarded the armored vehicle, and set off slowly.

The road was not easy to walk on, and it took them more than an hour to enter the Shangyan District.

Xia Lunong was worried that it would be very difficult to find a rose in such a large area.

As soon as the armored vehicle entered the Shangyan District, they saw large tracts of roses blooming in the ruins on the roadside.

Red, white, yellow, pink... roses of various colors popped out from the green leaves, trembling in the cold wind, attracting everyone's attention.

"Oh my God!" Baniu's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Aren't these roses so beautiful?! If people who like roses see them before the disaster, they will be so scared that they die?"

Xiao Tang's exclamation rang out at the same time, "This flower is so beautiful! Look at the double petals! Can we get some back to the base to plant later?"

The voices of other people in the convoy came noisily from the walkie-talkies:

"These roses must have evolved cold-resistance, otherwise why wouldn't they bloom in this season?"

"Can these roses be exchanged for supplies? I'm sure someone will like them if we get them back to the base."

"I heard that many roses are roses. Can we start a rose business? Hahaha?"

Everyone started discussing it.

Xia Lunong was not familiar with these team members, and could not tell who said which sentence from the voice.

He frowned and stared at the roses outside with a very strange expression.

Xia Huoqu touched his shoulder, "Why do you look like that? What did you see?"

Xia Lunong said, "I feel that the roses outside are from the same plant."

Xia Huoqu showed a surprised expression on his face and asked, "Is it the same plant or are they derived from the same plant?"

If it is the same plant, it means that the rose outside is very large, larger than they imagined.

Xia Lunong leaned on the car window, staring at the outside with both eyes, "I'm not sure either. I feel that they are from the same plant, and the aura is the same."

After a pause, he said, "It is possible that they come from the same plant, but I always feel that things are not that simple. I still tend to think that this large area of ​​roses outside is from the same plant."

Before he finished speaking, the three people left in the car looked out of the car almost at the same time, and their faces changed slightly.

Yan Xinian said in the walkie-talkie: "Everyone turn around, something is wrong in Shangyan District, let's withdraw first."

After he said this, the voices in all walkie-talkies paused.

The previous heated discussion was instantly replaced by silence.

The two armored vehicles in front and behind did not ask anything, and turned around and drove out of Shangyan District.

Xia Lunong stared out of the car window.

He was afraid of how the rose would react, but also expected it to react.

He himself couldn't explain what he was thinking.

The roses outside didn't react at all. They trembled slightly in the cold wind, just like all ordinary roses.

Ordinary roses are not that big, nor that beautiful.

These roses were blooming all over the ground, as if it was midsummer, or as if it was a wedding or other important occasion.

Xia Lunong almost smelled the special sweet fragrance of the roses.

It was faint, floating in the wind, passing through the air filtration system, and drifting in the car.

Everyone's sense of smell was very sharp, and they smelled it almost at the same time.

Xia Huoqu's face changed, and he pulled out a few gas masks for them, motioning them to put them on.

Yan Xinian said solemnly outside the walkie-talkie: "There may be something wrong with the scent of the roses, don't smell it, let's speed up and leave this place."

Others also smelled it, and Baniu said: "Got it. Captain Yan, the scent of the roses seems to be fine, it's just that it lasts longer. We have been smelling it for a while, and there are no changes in our bodies. A Ye next to us has turned back to the beast form for testing, and everything is normal."

A Ye, the rabbit who turned back to the beast form, squatted beside him and patted the armored vehicle's compartment lightly to show his agreement.

Yan Xinian said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless, let's leave here first."

"Got it!"

"Got it."

Kong Zhi looked at the roses outside, "I'll turn into a beast form and fly up to the sky to take a look." "

Okay." Yan Xinian said, "Let's talk about it after we drive farther away, it's too dangerous here."

Their armored vehicles came in and retreated again.

The roses in the whole area seemed to be the same, but the fragrance seemed to be stronger.

When they were far away from the salt area, Kong Zhi turned into an aerial golden eagle and flew up to the sky with the summer cat in his mouth to see.

They had never reconnaissance from the air before, and now when they flew up to the sky, they immediately found that the roses were even more exaggerated than what they saw on the ground.

When they looked from the sky, the whole area was covered by a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers.

Summer Cat "meowed".

This is totally unscientific. How much energy does it take for roses to cover such a large area?

Besides, there is no benefit in blooming in winter. It is too weird that they bloom so brilliantly.

Summer Cat almost immediately thought that the roses were attracting prey.

The flowers and the fragrance of the flowers are one of the means to attract prey.

Kong Jindiao and he were in tune with each other. From his cry, he probably understood what he was thinking.

Kong Jindiao also cried, signaling him not to be impulsive. They should observe the situation first and then go down to take a look.

A golden eagle and a cat circled in the sky.

With Summer Maomao's eyesight, he couldn't even find where the main branch of this rose was.

This large rose seemed to be everywhere, yet it didn't seem to exist at all.

Summer Maomao almost suspected that he had made a wrong judgment.

This large patch of roses were just different plants, not the same plant at all.

He thought about it carefully, and felt that it was impossible. If this was really the case, there would be no need for Honeysuckle to remind them specifically.

Summer Maomao's emerald eyes showed doubt.

Many things after the disaster challenged everyone's imagination.

He pondered for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he had to give up.

Kong Jindiao and Summer Maomao fell to the ground.

Yan Xinian came up and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Xia Maomao shook his head, turned back into a human, and put on a down coat with the help of his brother, saying, "This situation is too weird. Logically, if such a large area of ​​roses is really the same plant, there should be relatively thick main branches, but we found nothing in the air."

Kong Zhi said, "When we looked from the air, it felt like each rose had roots, and they didn't seem to be connected together."

A team member under Lao Liu asked carefully, "Could it be that you guessed wrong? This area of ​​roses is not the same plant at all, it's just a large area of ​​roses spreading out."

Everyone expressed their opinions:

"It feels possible. Roses are plants that are easier to grow. Under the right conditions, it makes sense that they spread out quickly."

"That's what you said, but I think I trust Xiao Nong's ability and intuition more."

"I also trust Xiao Nong more. Be bold in hypothesis and carefully verify. We are fine like this."

Xia Lunong rubbed her brows, "I can't judge now. I may not be able to do it. Let Xia Huajiao come. Maybe it can gain something."

When Xia Lunong turned into a cat, his sense of smell was very sensitive.

The fragrance of the roses in the sky made his nose hurt, and now his head hurts a little.

After discussing it, everyone couldn't do anything. Finally, they decided to let Xia Huajiao try it as Xia Lunong said.

Xia Huajiao, who had been in a semi-hibernation state since leaving the house, was asked to get off the car.

It shook its branches, and turned its crown towards Xia Lunong in confusion, "Huh?"

Xia Lunong gently leaned against the trunk of the pepper tree and said, "You communicate with these plants and trees, see if you can find out any news?"

"Huh!" Xia Huajiao agreed.

Xia Huajiao was very sleepy now, and without thinking too much, he jumped directly to the rose and tried to use the branches to follow the rose to communicate.

Xia Lunong's face was very serious, and he was ready to rescue at any time.

He wanted to go directly, but he was afraid of making trouble and causing unnecessary twists and turns.

Xia Jiao is also a plant. If this patch of roses is really just the same rose, it should not be so sensitive to Xia Huajiao's temptation.

At least it will not notice something wrong at the first time and react to them.

Xia Huajiao couldn't understand why the atmosphere was so serious, and he didn't take any special measures. He just ran over to ask.

Plants don't communicate with each other using sound like humans do. They communicate by releasing chemicals, which is direct and fast.

Xia Lunong can read these chemicals without any obstacles, and thus understand what the plants mean.

When Xia Huajiao and the roses began to talk, Xia Lunong immediately realized that he was right. The roses in this patch are from the same plant.

They reacted to the summer pepper in the same way, and released the same chemicals.

But I don't know what went wrong. This rose seems to be a little split, the same way that humans have mental problems.

There is nothing wrong with that kind of logic, but it makes people feel neurotic when they communicate.

It's over.

Xia Lunong's heart sank.

This rose was in a worse condition than dead.

Maybe it was a huge trauma or something else, this rose was not normal.

To them, an irrational rose was much more dangerous than a rational one.
