"Xiao Le... you..." The few people were instantly speechless...
How to put it, this plot was really not what they could have predicted...
Besides, even if they came every day, these flowers couldn't have grown so majestic and strong all at once!
They were practically two stories tall!
With one bite, they could swallow ten Zhou Xiaojun whole!
"And where did this land come from?"
"Commander Zhou rewarded it!" Luo Xiao Le answered quickly.
"How did you grow these flowers like this?"
"I have growth buffs! I found out they could be used too, so I came to fertilize them every day. I use half a truckload of buffs daily!"
"..." Treating buffs like water? Was this human language?
"Why did you grow these!" Pi Jia Jia wailed.
Because the remaining few flowers, in the time they were speaking, had already leaped from the ground and were staring at them menacingly...
They even licked their lips with a rather meaningful expression, drool dripping down...
Th-things seemed a bit dire...
"Oh, my big bell was scrapped that day, so I thought about reinforcing some weapons. But swinging weapons is too tiring, so I looked for weapons that could attack on their own..."
A-and then I grew this thing!
It did meet the requirements, it attacked on its own, but soon they were going to be inside its belly!
What was this, a flag-raising ceremony before a campaign!
"Slurp..." Those few carnivorous plants licked their lips, straightened their bodies, and charged straight at them!
These were much more terrifying than zombies, and the few people immediately wanted to run!
"Don't move~" Luo Xiao Le said slyly.
"Ah?"
In the moment they were stunned, those few flowers quickly darted to their side, looking down at them from above.
"Hiss!" Instinct made them close their eyes in terror...
But the expected tearing did not come. Something warm touched their cheeks.
"Holy cow... what is this!" Was it their tongues!
The few people opened their eyes in horror and saw that it was the small tendrils of those flowers gently touching them.
The small tendrils slowly opened, hooking onto their fingers, revealing a very fine needle.
They drew a little blood, but it didn't hurt.
The next second, the few flowers lay down one by one, gently swaying their tendrils and touching the arms of the few people.
"There, from today onwards, you are their masters, you can even give them names."
Luo Xiao Le smiled with crescent eyes and reached out to pat the head of the flower next to her.
"These are... our carnivorous plants?" The surprise of the others was evident. These things clearly had strong combat power!
"Right, Mo Chen, didn't I tell you before that I wanted to give you a gift?" Luo Xiao Le said mysteriously.
"Look! Take this and use it."
Everyone looked over curiously. They saw Luo Xiao Le happily pull out of her pocket a huge, even taller than those flowers...
An... Eiffel Tower???
Everyone: "..."
"If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the... Eiffel Tower displayed for viewing on the bridge in the base?"
"You're not mistaken..." The few people looked at Luo Xiao Le resentfully.
She didn't hide anything, "After the big battle, the commander asked me what I wanted, so I asked him if I could have this tower. He didn't refuse."
"..." It was quite absurd, but when it happened to Luo Xiao Le, it felt quite reasonable.
"Mmm..." Mo Chen took the weapon. His usually calm eyes suddenly softened like spring water. He touched Luo Xiao Le's head and uttered a few words in a deep, enchanting voice.
"I like it very much."
The others were very resentful.
"Public displays of affection, truly killing us dogs..."
"I'd rather be under the car than here..."
"Little Flower, come with me. You're not suited to watch these things. I'll buy you dog food when we get home."
Luo Xiao Le still had the energy to explain, "They feed on their master's blood. Brothers, eat more red dates recently!"
Everyone followed Luo Xiao Le's lead and gave their respective flowers names for easy summoning during battles.
Then they shrunk the flowers, put them in their pockets, and left.
...
The next day.
Luo Xiao Le led everyone to prepare to escort Tan Hongyi to Fengcheng Base.
The guards bowed gratefully to them.
They rechecked their weapons, got in the cars, and drove out of the city.
Everything was going beautifully.
Except for the strange black smoke drifting out from their destination and floating in the air...
"Cough, cough... Why is there so much smoke..." The few people looked up in surprise. The sky was filled with dark mist, as if it extended from Fengcheng Base all the way towards Luocheng Base.
"This... why does it look so strange..." Pi Jia Jia was shocked.
Lin Xia's eyes widened, and she sniffed, "Quickly cover your mouths and noses, there's corpse qi in the air!"
"What!" Everyone was startled.
"Here!" Luo Xiao Le preemptively took out antidote from the buff shop and put one in each of their mouths.
Tan Hongyi: "Wow~ I feel much better now."
"Put this on!" Luo Shu also took out the gas masks they had stocked from her space.
"Wow~ You even have this!"
Suddenly, a horde of small zombies appeared ahead.
"Swish!" A colossal, giant iron tower that looked like it would pierce the sky suddenly appeared in their field of vision.
Mo Chen's agile figure abruptly appeared on the car roof.
Tan Hongyi only had time to catch a glimpse of his deep, profound, yet sharp eyes flashing past.
In less than five minutes, Mo Chen calmly walked back, and the divine-like tall tower also disappeared.
Tan Hongyi peered forward. Where were those zombies gone?
Only black blood oozing out from the grass beside them from time to time...
"Wow~ So powerful!"
That night, on the inevitable road to Fengcheng Base, a crossroads was completely blocked by dense zombies.
"This..." Tan Hongyi was anxious.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a world-shattering zombie roar erupted from inside their car!
Half of Chen Xiaolin's eye had turned a terrifying pale blue, while the other eye was still winking at them~
After he roared, the zombies at the crossroads in front suddenly froze, and they responded with a weak growl, scattering towards the side roads...
(Zombie language) "Gurgle, okay... Other zombies... are already eating... We'll... go eat elsewhere..."
In just half a day, Tan Hongyi's eyes widened, and he understood why Zhou Shoushan insisted on having these people escort him...
A sense of security... truly overwhelming!
His heart was filled with immense satisfaction!
The car continued to move forward.
"Hoo... hoo..." Mo Chen suddenly took off his gas mask and started gasping for air.
"Mo Chen? Why is your forehead so hot!" Luo Xiao Le was the first to notice.
Luo Xiao Le saw a faint trace of dark blue mist seeming to emanate from Mo Chen's nose.
"This is bad, could he have been corroded by the mist when we came out earlier..."
"That's very possible!"
"Mmm..." Mo Chen was weak all over and fainted.
Luo Xiao Le caught him with one hand, her eyes full of worry. A high fever... was a precursor to zombification...
Although a vortex hadn't appeared above his head yet, she had clearly seen the black mist on his nose just now...
