Chapter 6 A phantom appeared in the mind

Jiang Ning's mind was full of question marks. She knew very well that this was her ability.

However, are all plant-based abilities like this?

Jiang Ning blinked.

She found a bag and carefully put the sunflower seedlings in it, and then put it in the bag she was carrying when she came.

Then she opened the Star Brain and searched on the Star Network.

When in doubt, she would look for Baidu.

Jiang Ning typed [What are the symptoms of plant-based abilities when awakening? ] on the virtual keyboard and clicked search.

The search screen was spinning in circles, and the signal in the no-man's land was not good.

Jiang Ning's old-fashioned Star Brain did not have any satellite enhancements installed.

While waiting, Jiang Ning closed her eyes and carefully looked at the seedlings in her mind.

Sunflowers are annual herbs. The whole plant is one to three meters tall. The taproot is cylindrical and gradually narrows downwards. The leaves are alternate, ovate, heart-shaped or ovate. The growth cycle is generally more than 85-120 days.

And the seedling in her mind now, judging from the shadow, should have a morphological cycle of about 25-30 days. During this period, the leaves and flower primordia have been formed, and the flower buds will also differentiate soon.

It seemed to take less than half an hour from seedling emergence to bud formation.

Was it caused by the white energy flowing from her fingertips?

While Jiang Ning was thinking, the star network had been loaded.

She came back to her senses and carefully browsed the information on the star network.

After scanning around, she didn't find any valuable information.

Apart from the previous piece of information about the jobs that plant-related psychics can get, the only information left on the Star Network was [Which schools offer plant-related majors], [Famous plant-related psychics], [Is plant-related psychics really useless psychics], etc. Compared

with other psychics, the information on plant-related psychics is pitifully small.

Jiang Ning pulled down the interface, and it was refreshed again in a few seconds. There was a little signal near the lighthouse base station, but not much.

She had to exit the interface.

After putting away her backpack, Jiang Ning tightened her clothes, lay on the bed, closed her eyes and prepared to go to sleep. Late

at night.

After Aunt Li and her husband and Yan Zhou and his son finished their shifts, Aunt Li quietly climbed back to Jiang Ning's tent and fell asleep beside Jiang Ning.

The no-man's land at night was tightly wrapped in the silence of the surroundings. The lighthouse seemed to be the only salvation in the abyss-like darkness.

Jiang Ning didn't wake up from his sleep until a faint fish belly white appeared on the horizon.

As usual, he looked around and found that there was no difference from last night. The only remaining expectation in his heart was once again dashed.

Jiang Ning sighed, got up and walked out of the tent.

Yan Zhengxiang had returned to his tent, and only Yan Zhou was left outside.

Before falling asleep last night, Jiang Ning heard Aunt Li and her husband and Yan Zhou and his son talking outside about how Li Xiang and she were just children,

and that they, the adults, could do things like keeping watch. Being extremely tired, Jiang Ning simply ignored the matter.

Now that she thought about it, Yan Zhou was just a child a little older than Li Xiang.

Outside the camp, Jiang Ning, who had the soul of an adult, looked at Yan Zhou, who was yawning repeatedly and still trying to hold on, and suddenly felt a little guilty. She walked over and said to Yan Zhou, "It's still a while before the sky gets bright, you should take a nap." Hearing this,

Yan Zhou turned around leisurely and said, "Why did you wake up so early?"

"I went to bed early yesterday." Jiang Ning said.

Perhaps because she had consumed too much energy during the day, last night was indeed the day she slept the deepest in the past three days.

Jiang Ning thought about the results of her search on the Star Network yesterday, and decided to tentatively ask Yan Zhou, after all, Yan Zhou was the only one with superpowers among the people she knew.

"Did anything strange happen in your mind after your awakening superpower?"

Yan Zhou thought Jiang Ning was still sad about what happened last night. His cold eyes softened a little. He comforted her softly, "The awakening of superpowers is not something that happens overnight. It doesn't matter if you don't awaken. Maybe it's a sign. If you are still in doubt, you can go to the testing center and do a superpower test after you go back."

Jiang Ning looked at him steadily for a long time. She sighed heavily and said, "Forget it."

Yan Zhou misunderstood her meaning again.

Yan Zhou thought she had taken his words to heart. The corners of his lips rose, revealing a perfect smile of a big brother next door, "It's good that you have let it go."

Jiang Ning found a seat next to Yan Zhou and sat down. Yan Zhou didn't go to rest after all. It wasn't

until the sky was completely bright that

everyone around woke up.

Today we have to go deep into the center of the northern no-man's land, so everyone was on high alert early in the morning.

After seeing that everyone was there, Yan Zhou walked to the opposite camp alone.

"Scarface, you and I will lead the charge later. My people will be responsible for restraining the actions of the alien beasts, and your brothers only need to attack the alien beasts. No matter what, we must leave before dark. If we can hunt an alien beast, everyone in our area will be lucky." He told Scarface the plan in full.

"Tsk." Scarface listened and said contemptuously: "You don't need to remind me."

Yan Zhou knew that Scarface had heard it, so he turned around and went back to his own camp.

The two groups of people got on the car separately.

Scarface was familiar with the road conditions, so the people from the East District led the way in front, while Yan Zhengxiang followed closely behind in a heavy-duty truck.

Jiang Ning leaned on the soft leather backrest of the truck's back seat and looked out the window.

After the car had been driving for a while, tiny drops of water began to slide down diagonally from the car window.

It seemed that the air became more humid as you went inside.

The sky in the center of the Northern No Man's Land was gloomy, and there were signs of rain at any time. The damp and sultry feeling in the air was so oppressive that people could not breathe, and the oppression could be felt even through the car window.

Jiang Ning saw that Scarface and his car had left two deep wheel marks on the ground, which was impossible to appear in the outer area of ​​the Northern No Man's Land.

This also means that there is likely to be a swamp inside.

Just as Jiang Ning expected.

Five minutes later, Jiang Ning saw Scarface and his group parked the car.

A dark-skinned, short-haired woman got out of their car and walked towards their car.

She knocked on the window of the driver's seat and said, "We can't go any further. The deadly swamp is ahead. No one can get out of there."

Several people got out of the car.

They looked around and saw a vast swamp in front of them. Some unknown flocs were floating on the water. The air was filled with an indescribable dampness and stench.

Jiang Ning felt difficult to move as soon as she got out of the car. The soles of her shoes sank into the sand and mud, and her feet felt wet and blunt.

She looked into the swamp in front of her.

Several palm-sized ants were crawling on a pile of black carrion, gnawing at something. They were completely black, with only a bright blue light flashing from their tails.

What was this?

"Decomposition ants, F-class aliens." Yan Zhou saw Jiang Ning's confusion, and said, "They usually feed on carrion, and their teeth have a strong bite force, but they generally don't attack humans."

F-class, wouldn't it be something that an ordinary person could handle with one hand?

Yan Zhou stretched out a hand, releasing a trace of mental power from his palm.

One of the scavenger ants was instantly pierced, and blue liquid flowed out of its tail, dripping onto the alien corpse it had just bitten. The small area of ​​flesh was instantly burned with black smoke, and a small hole was corroded.

"Because they feed on rotten beasts for years, their bodies also contain a certain amount of pollution. After a week of digestion in the bodies of rotten ants, these pollutants form the bright blue tail fins we see now. Early people usually extracted the liquid on its tail fins to act as a corrosive agent, but these corrosive agents themselves are formed by pollutants filtered from their bodies, and their ingredients also contain a certain amount of pollution, so now the market is no longer allowed to produce corrosive agents made from rotten ants." Yan Zhou explained to her.

He noticed that Jiang Ning seemed to be very interested in this aspect of the beasts.

From the word "thorny demon lizard" that she blurted out before, it can be seen that Jiang Ning must have looked for books specifically on this subject. However, since experts publicly proposed that the pollution contained in the bodies of scavenger ants is harmful to the human body, the Federation has revised the description of scavenger ants making corrosive agents in most books on the market, so he mentioned it to Jiang Ning more.

Jiang Ning nodded as if he had realized something.

After a short interlude, Yan Zhou's attention was highly tense again. He kept a close eye on the movements around him and did not dare to slack off.

In any case, F-level monsters like scavenger ants are still rare in the no-man's land.

Yan Zhou walked in front of everyone and said, "Everyone, be careful. The level of the aliens here is higher than outside. The pollution level is at least C-level or above. Be careful not to get separated."

"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, you and my dad will be together. When we fight the aliens later, you will be responsible for attracting their attention on both sides." Yan Zhou said.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiang and Jiang Ning who were looking at him eagerly: "You two will be responsible for the logistics of everyone in the back. Once someone is injured, you will immediately replace that person."

"Why should I be with her? I don't want to!" Li Xiang said dissatisfiedly. He was still angry about the punch yesterday.

"Are you scared?" Jiang Ning asked calmly.

"What am I afraid of?" Li Xiang seemed to have heard some joke.

Before he could finish, Jiang Ning said, "I'll apply to change groups."

"You still don't want to be in the same group with me?" Li Xiang was angry and resentful.

He could say this, but Jiang Ning couldn't!

"I don't want to do what you want!" He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

Li Xiang: "That's it! I won't change!"

Jiang Ning smiled lightly. This child is really arrogant and awkward.

Several adults just thought it was a quarrel between children and didn't care much.

"Okay!" Yan Zhou immediately made the decision, "Everyone should try to stick together and don't be alone. The swamp area is not like the outside world. You may die if you are not careful."

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

According to the division of labor agreed by Yan Zhou, they began to patrol around.

Jiang Ning and Li Xiang walked around the truck.

Relatively speaking, the logistics they were in charge of were the least dangerous.

Jiang Ning carefully observed the surroundings.

The short-haired woman who had come to remind them was now holding something similar to a detector in her hand and walking back and forth around .

Scarface, who had always been arrogant, was also vigilantly keeping watch from time to time.

Everyone was full of fear of the Death Swamp.

She moved a little closer to the swamp, watching the upper of her shoes sink deeper and deeper into the mud.

Strange.

There was no wind, but the flocs floating on the surface of the shallow water were also shaking.

Jiang Ning seemed to have thought of something, and the alarm bells in her heart rang.

"Go!"

In the swamp that was as calm as dead water, bubbles kept rising.

Jiang Ning grabbed Li Xiang, who was obviously out of the situation, and ran into the crowd without stopping.

"Jiang Ning, what's wrong with you! Why are you pulling me?" Li Xiang frowned and shook off her hand in disgust. Jiang

Ning paused slightly and glanced at the bubbles behind her that were churning more fiercely. Her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled into a ball. She

grabbed Li Xiang's hand again.

She ran and shouted in the direction of Yanzhou and others: "The alien beast is under the swamp mud!"

Jiang Ning's hand clamped Li Xiang's forearm tightly, and the pulled arm made him feel a little painful. Li Xiang just wanted to break free again.

The next moment, something was rushing out of the swamp behind them.
