Chapter 27 The plan from light to dark
"Plant mutants?"
Hearing this, Qiao was slightly surprised.
Ye Hai nodded and said, "I remember that a few of us discussed whether the activity of the zombie virus could infect plants."
"There was a heated argument between you and Zero. You don't think zombie viruses can infect plants!"
"Zero insists that plants are essentially a kind of living thing and can be infected in an environment where zombie viruses are 'soaked' for a long time!"
"And as long as the virus content in the plant reaches a certain level, it can mutate!"
"Even once a plant variant is infected, its evolution speed is faster than that of biological variants, because the photosynthetic ability of the plant itself will bring a stable energy source to the plant!"
Qiao seemed to have remembered this matter, and gritted his teeth and said:
"That damn crazy woman, she was right again!"
Ye Hai smiled slightly and responded: "Actually, in my impression, you have never defeated Zero since you met him!"
"Besides, Zero has always been kind of interested in you!"
"It's just that you don't want to accept it!"
Joe responded angrily: "You can pull him down! I can't stand that lunatic!"
"Moreover, both of us are now infected with the virus, and our genetic fragments have been modified several times... If we come together, our children will be terrifying monsters in the future!"
Ye Hai was too lazy to continue to expose Qiao's stubbornness.
The two people clearly have a crush on each other, but they always quarrel when they get together.
Just because both of them want to dominate.
It's just that Joe loses every time.
Seeing the tentacles getting closer and closer, Ye Hai shouted at Zera: "You guys retreat first!"
"Jo and I are going to test the strength of these tentacles."
"This is the first time I encountered a plant mutant. I really can't be sure of the strength of this thing."
"I may not be able to pay attention to you for a while!"
Hearing this, Zela evacuated to the rear without looking back, leaving the battlefield to Qiao and Ye Hai.
Zeira knew very well that he had no means to deal with such a thing that could not be killed by space-based weapons, and staying here was just a burden.
Liana also followed Zera all the way back.
"How could a seventh-stage guy appear on the edge of the sixth stage?"
Qiao couldn't help but asked curiously.
Ye Hai pondered for a while and then said: "The first possibility is that this guy is in the seventh stage territory ring, and his roots extend for dozens of kilometers to attack us."
"However, this possibility is extremely small. Firstly, we did not use any high-energy weapons to attract this guy. Secondly, I have never seen a mutant that spans dozens of kilometers in size among animal mutants."
"Just a hypothesis based on my lack of knowledge about plant variants."
The corners of Qiao's eyes twitched slightly. If it was as Ye Hai speculated, this seventh-stage mutant would be even scarier than the eighth-stage guy.
"Since you said the first one, what about the second one?"
Looking at the tentacles that had hit him, Ye Hai's two arms instantly turned into zombies. His sharp claws swept away a large piece of the tentacles, and he said calmly:
"Another possibility is that this plant variant still retains the characteristics of a plant... without any ability to move!"
"And we are now in his territory!"
Qiao instantly waved the dagger, and his body turned into an afterimage, cutting off a large number of roots.
He murmured: "I think this speculation is more reliable..."
"I think we should look for something thick and long that can grow that much!"
"Let him and Zera have a good exchange. After all, both guys make a living by tentacles... they should have a lot in common!"
"Did you know? In such a short period of time, I have discovered the biggest thing in common between this plant mutant and Zella!"
Ye Hai, who was waving his arms and cutting off the tentacles, didn't want to pay attention to Qiao at all.
Because he knew very well that once Qiao became unruly, no one could resist him.
And Qiao didn't just wait for Ye Hai's reply. He smiled and said, "Don't you think the biggest feature of both of them is that they are good at finding water sources?"
Ye Hai paused suddenly and was almost hit by several tentacles.
Seeing Ye Hai's embarrassed look, Qiao burst out laughing.
The body instantly turned into a rainbow light, flying up and down between the tentacles.
In the process of fighting with countless tentacles, Ye Hai discovered that although these tentacles were very dense.
But no matter the defensive ability or attack power, it is not as good as the seventh-stage animal mutant.
It seems that, except for a little more, this plant variant doesn't have many features.
Qiao, who was fighting side by side with Ye Hai, had begun to breathe slightly after more than ten minutes of intense fighting.
"Master! This can't continue like this. This thing doesn't seem to have any physical problems at all..."
"If we keep attacking like this, we will be eaten alive. If Zera has such good endurance, there will be at least a few more flagships above our heads..."
"We must find its true form, otherwise we will eventually be killed here!"
Ye Hai nodded and looked at the overwhelming plant roots around him that had completely wrapped himself and Qiao.
In an instant, his whole body turned into a zombie, and his voice was hoarse:
"Follow me and rush to the densest place. We must find the true nature of this thing!"
Qiao pouted and said helplessly: "You are really cautious!"
"Aren't you going to reveal your full form before these tentacles completely cover your body?"
"After all, we have to cross the seventh stage of the territory ring. The eyes of the sky are always watching us!"
"How can you hide it?"
Ye Hai grinned and said, "What if I die today?"
"A seventh-stage mutant appears in the seventh-stage territory ring of Radiation Land... It's normal, isn't it?"
Qiao was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Have you already planned to fake your own death to escape?"
Ye Hai, who kept advancing under the cover of roots, responded: "I was thinking about this issue when Zera told me during the day that there was flagship support in outer space!"
"Moreover, after seeing the power of space-based strikes just now, I think the guys in the First Defense Force of the Giant Tree Star must not be dead!"
"Guess...if the legion led by Javier was not destroyed!"
"Where should they be now?"
Qiao blurted out: "The purpose of why you so decisively asked Zera to call for a space-based strike is to evaluate the power of this thing?"
"The Second Corps Javier you mentioned yesterday? Are they hanging behind us?"
Ye Hai nodded and said: "The probability is extremely high!"
"After I find the true form of this plant mutant later, I will remove it from the zombie form..."
"Then he was pierced through the skull by these 'terrible' tentacles and died!"
Qiao was stunned and exclaimed: "Master! Why are you so crazy?"
"Piercing your head? Even the virus can't keep you alive..."
Interrupting Qiao's words, Ye Hai said calmly: "I invented a new gadget that can revive even if the head and heart are destroyed..."
"It's just that, can you handle the seventh stage mutants on your own?"
Qiao looked at Ye Hai with a complicated expression and said helplessly: "After being injected with the T-virus, even if I release the cute little guys in my blood, I shouldn't die!"
"You should be able to fight against a seventh-stage mutant!"
"Are you really sure you won't die even if your head explodes?"
Ye Hai nodded and smiled: "I'm sure!"
"Isn't it exciting? I'll help you 'upgrade' in the future?!"
"You won't die even if you shoot your head!"
"Aren't you moved?"
Qiao shuddered hard and shook his head wildly.
Chapter completed!
