Chapter 210: Put P flowers? (13)
Brother Zhang explained, "We thought so before. We even came here to explore with the Special Ability Team. No one lives here, but the plants here are very special. So special... they can't be grown under normal circumstances. I even don't think they can be grown. I don't know how to explain it specifically, but you should understand after you go and see it."
Brother Zhang left his words in suspense. Although the four of them didn't understand, they didn't ask any more questions.
However, an hour and a half later, when they stood at the outer edge of the lush forest, they finally understood what Brother Zhang meant.
The plants here are not something that can be grown artificially, and, as far as Lan Jin himself is concerned, their seeds are not seeds that can exist on the Blue Planet.
As everyone stood stunned, Brother Zhang had to explain again, "Now you understand what I mean, right? From now on, I ask you to take everything seriously. This is not a game, nor is it a joke. I am responsible not only for your lives, but for everyone's lives. Please follow my instructions in all actions."
After Brother Zhang's serious speech, he told them everything about this plant.
This area of vegetation is very dense, and the base calls this side Maolin. When this lush forest grew, there was originally a shallow lake. This lake only has water during the rainy season. Usually it is just a mud puddle. When there is a water shortage, you can even walk directly on it.
The lake is not very big, and its periphery is surrounded by a series of wooden bridges. Now, the inside and outside of the wooden bridge are directly divided into two worlds.
The outer world is covered with dead branches, while the inner world is lush and green, like a peach orchard...
Well, Taoyuan is indeed Taoyuan. After all, there is a sharp contrast between the two sides. However, the plants in this peach garden are like those under a magnifying glass. All the plants are many times larger than ordinary plants.
Moreover, these plants, all plants, are fraught with danger.
Brother Zhang reminded: "Don't touch the plants here without permission, and be careful not to get hurt by them. If possible, please call for help."
…
Due to Brother Zhang's overly serious attitude, the atmosphere between them now revealed a sense of weirdness everywhere.
Lan Jin said, "Brother Zhang, didn't you remind us in advance what we can and cannot touch?"
Zhang Ge wanted to say something, but it was useless to point it out in advance. "If you ask me, it means you can't touch anything. I think every plant here is dangerous, but the dangers are different. Some are fatal, some are not. I can't explain them clearly, so please follow instructions."
Well, asking is the same as not asking at all. Just be careful and vigilant about everything.
However, no matter how good the promises are outside, once you actually walk into this lush forest, the hearts of those who come in for the first time will fly away.
Looking at the flower buds in front of them that were bigger than their heads, Lan Jin pointed and asked, "What kind of flower is this? If it blooms, it will be three times the size of my head."
Lan Jin remembered what Brother Zhang said. Even though she was curious, she didn't touch it with her hand. She just pointed at it from a distance and asked curiously.
Brother Zhang replied seriously, "It's not just three heads, it's really big, it's at least as big as five of your heads."
"Wow." Lan Jin exclaimed in shock, but who would have thought that the flower bud she had just pointed at from afar slowly opened its petals, as if it was about to bloom, and then made a "gulp, gulp" sound as if it was preparing for something.
Lan Jin felt something was wrong and quickly stepped back, but her eyes were fixed on the flower, fearing that the flower would deform or mutate, and what would happen if it swallowed them alive.
But this flower does not have this function at all, not even after it mutated. Instead, Brother Zhang grabbed its root and pushed the petals to the ground before it burst out. With a "gulp--puff" sound, the flower instantly collapsed, and the petals were deformed. At the same time, a little powdery substance overflowed from the gaps between the petals.
Brother Zhang quickly said, "Quick, spray it, don't let the pollen get on your skin."
After saying that, several people behind him immediately stepped forward, took out the tools in their bags, and foamed a lot of foam at the big petals. The powder that overflowed from the gaps was immediately extinguished.
After completing this series of tasks, Lan Jin finally dared to ask, "What the hell is that? What did it just do? Is it releasing P flowers?"
Brother Zhang felt his head ache as he listened to her. He explained, "This flower is an enlarged version of a rose. But even if it's a rose, it's a mutant. The flower isn't poisonous, and the pollen it sprays isn't poisonous either. However, it does itch incredibly when it gets on your skin. Washing it with water or burning it won't help. The itching lasts for three days. We've had people get itchy before, and their skin was basically ruined after three days."
Redness, swelling, blisters, discharge, suppuration, and most importantly, it itched. I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights. It was more uncomfortable than being exposed to poisonous fog during the previous poisonous fog period, and even more desperate than the reaction during the insect plague.
But as long as the itching powder doesn't get on their skin, it's fine. They all took the best protection when they came in, and basically wrapped their whole bodies tightly, so it doesn't matter even if they are sprayed, but it's definitely better to be careful.
But when he heard about its effects, Lao Gao became interested. "So this means it's itching powder. Have you collected it? This kind of thing is very valuable for research, right?"
It's definitely worth researching, but it's also very dangerous. Brother Zhang said, "Be careful. The plants here might attack you even if you don't touch them, so you have to be careful."
Fortunately, only one flower bud sprayed pollen just now, otherwise if all the flowers in this area were sprayed with pollen, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to talk calmly at this moment.
…
The group carefully passed through the area of flower buds, and then they saw a number of particularly large mimosas.
Lao Gao picked up a branch and gently touched the leaves of the mimosa, and the leaves immediately curled up into a ball.
Perhaps sensing the movement of this mimosa, the surrounding mimosas also retracted their leaves layer by layer.
The grass that was lush just now has now shrunk together, making it easier for them to move forward.
Brother Zhang took a look and said nothing, mainly because he was tired and felt that even if he said something, it would be of no use.
Thanks to jolin for the reward, thank you!
