It’s the end of the world after becoming a mountain god!
Chapter 274 Yuanzhi Base
"The attack methods of the seemingly non-mutated ones are relatively simple, and people generally won't be fooled once they've encountered them. But at the beginning, quite a few people were killed. Later, we found that the ones that looked obviously mutated were the real killers!" Jiang Ming pointed in the direction of the mutant locust tree, his lips trembling slightly. "When I first saw that mutant locust tree, it was only a few stories high. It was just an ordinary locust tree that looked a little more lush."
"It grew so big, so big that it almost covered half of the city. That's because it ate half of the people in the city!"
Jiang Ming remembered it very clearly. That day when she passed by here with the team, this place was not what it is today.
At that time, there were still many people waiting and watching. They felt that instead of going out to die, it would be better to wait for rescue at home.
They firmly believed that people would be sent to rescue them, and they had prepared a lot of food at home, so they could stay there for a few months without any problems.
Once you really leave here, you won’t even know how you died.
If there were no mutated locust trees, their approach probably wouldn't have been a big problem.
After all, those who can avoid mutated animals are either well prepared or lucky enough not to encounter mutated animals at all.
So the sudden mutation of the locust tree caught everyone off guard.
"This locust tree was originally just an ordinary ornamental plant. Because it looked fine in the first few days, no one was on guard."
After all, only a small number of plants have truly mutated, and most plants are still fine.
But this locust tree is an outlier. I don’t know if it is deliberately hidden or just a coincidence.
"It was intentional!" Song Tang said firmly.
Just like the mutated giant vine she encountered, it had obviously developed intelligence and knew how to make other mutated vines cooperate with each other.
When fighting with her, she used many dirty tricks. Song Tang was tricked by her accidentally, which is why he was unconscious for so long.
Jiang Ming said noncommittally, "That day, the locust tree suddenly grew a lot taller and bigger, and it suddenly bloomed. White locust flowers flew to every corner of the city. Each flower was half the size of a person, like a small parachute. Everyone ran as fast as they could, trying to avoid these locust flowers."
"These flowers have clearly fallen off the branches, but they still look alive. They seem to have eyes and chase people when they see them. When they catch someone, they wrap the person with their petals! I saw with my own eyes someone using a knife to cut open the petals in an attempt to rescue someone."
"It only took a few minutes for the people inside to be completely destroyed. Everyone realized that these flowers are very corrosive. Ordinary people would die if they were wrapped in them."
In this way, countless people in the entire city were wrapped in locust flower buds, and only very few escaped.
Jiang Ming and several teammates were among them! They ran out of a certain range and found that Huaihua did not continue to chase them.
I didn’t dare to stay any longer and ran all the way to the edge of the city before turning back.
They discovered that not long after, the flower buds that wrapped around people suddenly opened.
Suddenly the whole city was filled with large white flowers, and a rich fragrance filled the entire city and drifted out of the city.
"After the fragrance of the flowers, the mutant locust tree began to grow rapidly, and finally became like this." Jiang Ming stared at the wall behind him with a dull face, as if he had returned to a nightmare day again. "It ate a city of people and grew this big. If it eats more people, will it really grow indefinitely? Will this tree be the only one left in the world, and all the rest of the people, including mutant animals and zombies, will become its nutrients?"
For a moment, Song Tang felt that Jiang Ming was right.
If there are no restrictions, it might end up like this!
No matter what is left in the end are mutant animals, mutant plants or something else, it will be detrimental to human survival, so this mutant locust tree cannot be left.
"Knowing that it's dangerous here, why don't you leave?" Song Tang asked.
Jiang Ming smiled bitterly: "It is indeed dangerous here. But because of this mutant tree, there are very few zombies and mutant creatures nearby. At least it is safe for the time being. If I want to leave here, I can't go far relying on my own strength."
It’s not that she hasn’t considered leaving here. Just because she is safe now doesn’t mean she will be safe in the future.
She observed that the locust tree had been silent for a long time since it ate a person.
"The nearest base is hundreds of kilometers away from here. It is impossible to walk there on one's own." If it weren't for the internal strife among teammates, she might still have a chance.
Now that I'm forced to stay here, I can only live one day at a time.
Of course, she had also thought about the possibility that if a team passed by, she could give them a ride.
However, since the mutant locust tree appeared in Kangtai County, almost no team would pass through here. They would rather take a long detour than take the risk of coming here.
"What about zombies?" They sounded like zombies created by some evil means.
Jiang Ming pointed to his nose and said, "After the end of the world, a large number of people had fevers. Some of them evolved superpowers, and many more turned into monsters after waking up. So when I had a fever, my father and stepmother abandoned me without hesitation."
Talking about being abandoned, Jiang Ming seemed not to care, but his hands were unconsciously entangled together.
The force was so strong that his hair almost turned white, which was enough to show that Jiang Ming actually cared about this matter very much.
"It's understandable, after all, zombies are really scary. Mutated plants can't move anyway, but they are different! They are extremely strong and are not afraid of swords and guns. As long as their heads are not chopped off, they won't die even if all their limbs are cut off." Jiang Ming forced a smile, "And their sense of smell is very sensitive. Once they meet a living person, they will keep chasing. If you are bitten by them, you will quickly turn into a zombie."
"How much do you know about the nearest base?" Song Tang planned to go to this base.
Jiang Ming has been hiding here and knows limited things about the outside world. If he wants to know more about the end of the world, he has to go to places where there are more people.
Jiang Ming shook his head. "I only know that this base is called Yuanzhi Base, because their leader seems to be called that. They were originally workers in a state-owned military factory. After the end of the world, they organized a resistance centered on the factory and successfully resisted the first wave of mutant creatures' attacks."
"Later, more and more people came to join us! I was recruited by a passing team because of my great strength. They wanted to join this base, but they didn't expect that there would be internal strife in the middle of the journey, and most of their teammates died."
This information was told to her by her teammates at the time, and she didn't know any more detailed information.
Song Tang nodded. She thought for a while and had an idea in her mind.
"I'm going to the city center later. When I come back, I plan to visit this base. If you want to leave here, you can come with me then."
