The last plant pet took me to be the landlord

5 Mutated locust tree

Some vines, such as Imperata cylindrica, can be seen wrapping themselves around the plants around them. Regardless of whether they mutate or not, their inner voice is simple and crude: I want to absorb you, so that I can grow up...

Quite brutal!

There are also some saw-toothed plants whose inner voice is: Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Stay away from me, or I'll scratch your face.

What a huge bummer!

If Lu Bei'er hadn't used the wood element to transfer some supernatural powers to them and showed her friendliness first, it would be hard to say how these newly awakened plants would treat her.

The most incredible thing is the snakeberry. When Lu Beier communicated with it using her supernatural powers, the response she got was: I let you eat it, I let you eat it, I will produce big poisonous fruits to poison you to death!

Oh my god, there is so much resentment!

She felt her fruit and found it was indeed poisonous! Eating one might not kill you immediately, but you would definitely vomit, feel dizzy, have abdominal pain and diarrhea, and lose basic mobility. No wonder the originally red fruit turned purple and black!

I don’t know if it’s because of these plants, but there’s not even a cat, dog, chicken or duck in the whole village! In the broad daylight, apart from the rustling of plants, there’s not even the chirping of insects or birds. It’s very weird!

There is a big locust tree at the entrance of the village. It is the tallest plant in the whole village, with a trunk so thick that two people may not be able to wrap their arms around it. October is still the flowering season. The flowers and leaves of this tree are extremely dense, and the rich fragrance makes people's noses itch. It is right next to the road, casting a large shadow on the concrete road.

Lu Beier stood in the shade under the tree. She rubbed her nose and looked at the various thorny bushes and serrated white grasses that were crowded on both sides of the road. Compared with before the end of the world, their characteristics were magnified many times. The spikes were sharper and the teeth were sharper.

Kicking the dry branches that had been cut down at some point and had long since dried up, Lu Beier looked ahead at the road that was only about two meters long and had been covered by lush vegetation.

The country has implemented a plan to build cement roads connecting every village. Originally, they were two-way streets, but now they are less than the width of a one-way street.

The dead branches at my feet were probably left by the rescue team who took away the survivors from the village not long ago. And this road should be the only way out of the village now.

Lu Bei'er walked up to the locust tree and transferred some wood-related abilities to it.

This locust tree is very special. It neither absorbs nutrients from other plants of the same kind to supply itself; nor does it have any hostility and indiscriminately attack people and objects passing by as if to kill anyone who stands in its way.

It was very docile, giving Lu Beier a gentle feeling and almost no attack power. Moreover, it actually fed back some images to Lu Beier!

When Lu Beier's mind was filled with the image of military vehicles taking away villagers, she was so shocked that she forgot to chew the pear in her mouth! This was a truly novel experience!

That picture shouldn’t be too real!

There were four military vehicles. The two in the middle were full of villagers, young and old. The leading and trailing military vehicles were full of soldiers in green uniforms. They each held a machete and swung it at the wildly growing plants around them. They tried to clear a wide and smooth road as much as possible so that the villagers in the middle vehicles could pass through smoothly. In order to reduce the direct contact between the villagers and the mutant plants, they faced them directly.

Although the soldiers were very careful, vines would still appear in the screen, stretching out from nowhere like tentacles, entangled with their bodies or the villagers and dragged them into the forest. Crying and shouting were endless. The soldiers resisted with all their might, regardless of their own safety. Finally, after a young officer sent out powerful lightning with both hands to strike the flying vines, the mutated plants shrank back in fear.

In the end, although they all escaped from the village entrance safely, it was obvious that they all suffered serious injuries.

If it weren't for the images that the big locust tree conveyed to Lu Bei'er, she really couldn't imagine that the plants around her that were silent in front of her had such strong combat power and danger.

It’s also thanks to that powerful lightning master.

"Is that a thunder-related ability?" Lu Bei'er asked Xiao Jiu in her heart.

"Yes! Host! This is the most powerful lightning ability!"

It's a pity that I don't have it. However, in this forest, the wood ability is the most practical for the current situation. Didn't you see that in the picture, after the thunder move, the officer was a little weak and could only withdraw quickly.

"Xiaojiu, you are in my mind, how come you can see my memories and thoughts so clearly?" Lu Bei'er's sudden question made Xiaojiu stuck for a moment.

Without giving Xiaojiu a chance to speak, Lu Beier continued to ask: "How come you can access the images in my mind? Doesn't that mean I have no privacy at all in front of your system?"

Lu Bei'er also suddenly realized this, and her tone became a little unhappy.

"Host, I'm sorry! Don't be angry!" Xiao Jiu apologized quickly. He really didn't realize this before. "I can turn off some functions that spy on your thoughts! If you don't want me to see them, I will block them immediately. I will turn them on when you are willing!"

"Okay! You turn it off first!"

"Okay! Host!"

There seemed to be a slight clicking sound in my consciousness, probably because it was turned off.

If Xiaojiu was lying, it would be exposed in the future. It doesn't look very smart.

She wasn't worried at all.

"My memories and thoughts are private things, and I don't like others to pry into them. But you can still know my current thoughts. Because you are in my mind. If I have something I want to ask you, I will naturally ask you in my mind, so you can know my current thoughts! But I hope we can be honest with each other, trust each other, and not touch the bottom line!"

Memory is a personal privacy. She doesn't care what Xiaojiu was like in the past, but when it comes to her, there must be a safe dividing line between them.

She felt that she had no privacy at all regarding the system that lived in her head, but this boundary had to exist and could not be taken for granted.

She also hopes that they can have a relationship of complete trust and mutual help, but everyone needs to keep a little privacy.

"Host, don't worry. I am a system bound to you. We have a relationship where we share weal and woe! I will never betray my host even if I die! If I dare to do anything to let the host down, my data will be cleared and everything will be reset!" Xiao Jiu said as if he was swearing.

It's not that serious.

It's just a matter of privacy, so there's no need to swear.

This Xiaojiu saved me after all, so naturally I have 100% trust in it.

But privacy is something that should be maintained appropriately even with parents and loved ones.
