Chapter 239
The sand factory in Nanyang City is located in the lower reaches of the Nanliu River, where the river has abundant sand and is a good material for building materials.
Now the Nanliu River has completely dried up, and various strange mutant plants have grown on the bare riverbed.
There are purple grasses shaped like fish bones, straight trees towering into the clouds, and unknown plants with curled leaves...
"I really don't know what these are mutated from, but it's better for us to leave quickly."
Tang Jingrou was amazed, this place was like the primeval forest in the 3D movies she had watched before.
Several people also thought that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and Ji Shi quickly found the storage tank stored in the sand factory.
And these sand storage tanks are not smaller than the oil storage barrels in the gas station, but Ji Shi has all been collected into the space.
He was a little glad that the ball was not outside, but in the space, otherwise he would have to help it collect those plant crystal nuclei.
"Who's there?!"
When Ji Shi was collecting things, Lin Fanxing and Chu Xiaoshuang had been on guard, and Lin Fanxing clearly saw that the sand pile not far away moved.
"Look at me."
Chu Xiaoshuang condensed a cluster of wind balls and was about to smash over, but saw a figure crawling out of the sand, and Fang Quan, who was covered in sand, quickly waved his hand and ran out and said: "Don't don't, I'm human, I'm really human!"
"What are you hiding there for?"
Lin Fanxing asked unceremoniously, they didn't look at the life detector after blowing up the road leading to the sand factory, but they didn't expect that this was hiding a living person.
At this time, Ji Shi had already collected all the sand storage tanks into the space, and there were still large piles of sand piled on the ground in the sand factory, and he was worried about how to put all these into it without soiling the space.
"I wasn't here, I just heard an explosion, so I came out to take a look, and then you guys came over."
Fang Quan explained.
Ji Shi also looked at Fang Quan, the other party was about twenty or thirty years old, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and his face was full of mud and sand just now, he had become clean at this time, and he couldn't see a grain of sand on his body or even on the lenses.
"Are you an Earth Psychic?"
Ji Shi asked.
"Yes, I have been hiding in the stone cave over there before, and I just hid in the sand for safety."
After Fang Quan answered, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you guys come from?" Why collect these? "
In the last month or so, he has also been to many places and seen many people, and this is the first time he has seen someone load sand into the space.
"Of course, it's for building a house."
Lin Fanxing said.
Fang Quan seemed to feel funny, who would build a house in the last days of building a house?
"Why are you here alone?"
Ji Shi felt that the person in front of him was a little different from the other survivors.
"Of course it's because I'm a botanist, aren't there many exotic grasses around here?" I've been here lately documenting their habits.
Fang Quan pointed to a dusty helicopter in the distance, indicating that it was his vehicle.
Before the end of the world, he was a scholar who studied plants alone, and after the end of the world, the people around him became zombies one by one, but this did not affect him much.
Since that red rain, the world has changed for the second time, but for him it seems to be a new life, he hungrily records the habits of each mutant plant, although he has almost been eaten by mutant plants many times, but he still escaped several times with his own powers....
"What is there to study about mutant plants, they are all man-eating things."
Lin Fanxing did not understand the research Fang Quan was talking about.
This sentence seemed to stimulate Fang Quan, and he said to several people with an excited expression:
"Of course, mutant plants have high research value!" According to what I've discovered along the way, only 10% of man-eating mutant plants are activated, and the rest only activate their self-protection mechanism when someone attacks them, which is a major evolution in plant history!
Looking at the other party's flushed face, Lin Fanxing suddenly didn't know what to say.
At this time, Fang Quan took out a thick cowhide cover notepad, and ran to Ji Shi to show him his results:
"This is a mutant of the green rose, its sap is highly toxic after mutation, but it generally does not attack humans, and this is a mutant of the horse chestnut flower, it can freely control its flowering time, when it opens the flower, it is ready to eat, whether it is a zombie or a human it will eat, and the way it eats is to use the sap to corrode the prey." Looking
at Fang Quan's chattering look, Ji Shi did not interrupt him, but continued to listen with interest.
Twenty minutes passed, and Fang Quan realized that he was too emotional to say so much, and he closed the thick notebook with some embarrassment.
In the past, at such times, he would be sneered at, thinking that he was doing useless work and eating enough.
After all, even saving one's life in the last days is a problem, and who will worry about the characteristics of mutated plants.
Just as he was mentally prepared to be ridiculed by several people, he heard applause.
Ji Shi's eyes were full of praise: "It's rare that you can find these alone."
"Yes, yes, you did such research, but I think it would be better if it was accompanied by pictures."
Lin Fanxing also said that Fang Quan was too detailed, and he almost listened to it just now.
"It's really not easy, you're so good."
Tang Jingrou also said sincerely.
Fang Quan was a little shocked: "You... Don't think I'm bored?
"Not really, I'm just curious about what your purpose is in studying this?"
Ji Shi asked.
Objective?
What is his purpose in studying this?
In fact, Fang Quan himself didn't know much, he only knew that he wanted to explore with one mind, so he did it.
"What if... I mean, if you can help more people survive, maybe it will be more meaningful. Ji
Shi tried to say.
"Of course I'm happy to help more people, but people aren't interested in that, but it's understandable... It's so dangerous everywhere now..."
Fang Quan said, revealing a lost expression.
"Is that because you didn't find a suitable place and object, why don't you come to our base and we each take our strengths?"
Ji Shi was interested in the information about the mutant plants he recorded.
They can encounter different mutant plants every day, and if everyone in the base can know some mutant plants, it will also be good for reducing the death and injury rate of the base.
"Base?"
Fang Quan was stunned after hearing this, and then he shook his head again: "The base is not free enough, if it is a quiet corner, I can't run around looking for new plants."
"How long do you think your research can last if you take a risk?"
Ji Shi pointed to the back of Fang Quan's hand and arm full of festering wounds and asked.
His left hand was missing two fingers, and his arm was also corroded by the solution, which looked like it had festered for a long time.
