Chapter 220
The presence of plants poses a serious safety hazard
Huang Si Teng pointed to the fruit on the ground, and then pointed in a direction.
"It's telling us that there's an edible fruit tree there."
Lin An followed the direction indicated by the dodder flower and saw a tree full of orange-yellow fruits. It was a wild bamboo tree that had not mutated. The tree was tall and laden with fruit.
"This is truly a pleasant surprise," Tan Xin said. "Go to the car and get the bags of supplies. Let's pick all these fruits and take them back."
Anyone who has eaten wild mangosteen knows that this fruit is sweet and sour and very delicious.
The group picked all the fruit off the tree and carried their bags down the mountain.
……
Frontline military camp.
Song Changqin arrived at the barracks where the wounded were resting.
"How are the wounded who ate the evolution bananas?"
After some rest and repairs, the military camp returned to a certain level of order, and the wounded who needed treatment received medical care, although most of them were still suffering from the torment of the poison.
The effects of toxic substances are multifaceted. Some people may experience skin ulcers, others may have impaired vision, and still others may have impaired motor nerves, making it impossible to run or walk normally.
"Most of the wounded who ate the Evolution Banana showed obvious detoxification symptoms."
Upon hearing this, Song Changqin's eyes lit up. "That's great! So the fruits of evolved plants can indeed detoxify, right?"
The chief medical officer nodded. "That's right. The wounded soldier you saw yesterday, the one named Zhao Mingyu, he has recovered now."
"He's already recovered?" Song Changqin's eyes widened.
The military doctor led him to Zhao Mingyu's bedside and said to him, "Zhao Mingyu, Commander Song has come to see you. Try moving your arm a bit."
Zhao Mingyu raised his arm in front of Song Changqin, showing that he could move freely.
His entire arm had previously been necrotic, and his vision had also been affected to some extent, but now it has fully recovered.
Upon seeing this, Song Changqin was even happier than Zhao Mingyu himself. "I will immediately report that the evolved plants can detoxify, and let all the bases know about this news!"
In this way, countless highly evolved veterans could return to the battlefield, significantly enhancing humanity's military strength.
After checking on the wounded, Song Changqin left the wounded's rest camp and saw Tan Xin and the others' car returning.
The car stopped, and Tan Xin got out. Then, she unloaded bags of fruit from the car.
People in the military camp all went over to watch.
"Captain Tan, what did you bring back?"
"They're wild berries," Tanxin said. "They were all picked from Yellowstone Mountain."
They picked more than a dozen bags in one go, and if they hadn't been so full, they would have picked even more.
After all, the entire Yellowstone Mountains are now a safe zone, and the resources on the mountain can be picked freely and without worry. Moreover, the dodder flower's vision covers the entire mountain, and it will tell them where they can pick edible fruits.
Seeing this, the others also came to help.
Upon opening the bag, I found wild kiwifruit, mangosteens, and jujubes, among other things...
"You actually gathered so many wild fruits from the mountains! Didn't you encounter any strange beasts while you were picking them?"
That's their territory.
Tan Xin said, "You might not believe it, but there are no more strange beasts on that mountain. The whole mountain is safe now."
"What?"
The crowd was puzzled. "Why? Where did the beast go?"
"He died. He was killed by plants."
After saying that, seeing Song Changqin walking towards them, Tan Xin went over and said, "Commander Song."
"How is the situation?" Song Changqin asked her.
"When the dodder was transplanted to Yellowstone Mountain, it instantly covered the entire mountain. The mutated beasts in the mountain were all killed by the dodder, so now the entire Yellowstone Mountain has become a safe zone."
"Wait a minute..." Song Changqin wondered if he had misheard. He looked at Tan Xin, "You mean, the entire Yellowstone Mountain is now a safe zone?"
"That's right." Tan Xin nodded. "The dodder flower is even more aggressive than the living vine. It will kill any mutated animal within its range without hesitation. You'll see the details when you watch this video."
The group entered the military camp and uploaded the video taken by the drone.
Looking down from above, the entire Yellowstone Mountains appear as a blanket of white, covered in flowers.
"this……"
"Is this Yellowstone?"
"How did it get like this?"
When they saw the yellow vines sweeping across the entire mountain like a plague, and the so-called large mutated beasts frantically fleeing for their lives, everyone fell silent.
This video overturned their understanding.
Neither the living vine nor the dodder flower are things within their scope of knowledge.
The entire mountain of mutated beasts was wiped out just like that. The mineral resource point that they had been unable to conquer for so long was completely wiped out by a single plant.
"Will it really not be able to attack people?" someone asked, raising a question that has raised concerns.
With such a terrifying rate of spread, even advanced alien beasts running at full speed cannot escape these yellow vines. If this plant were to attack humans, its threat would far exceed that of mutated beasts, and it would be a catastrophe of extinction.
"I don't see this as help, it's a threat!"
A high-ranking military officer stepped forward, his expression stern, and said in a stern voice, "Plants have no feelings. If they can slaughter animals all over the mountains in this way now, they may hunt humans in the same way in the future!"
Song Changqin remained silent.
To be honest, he never expected that such a small plant seed could unleash such powerful energy.
Tan Xin disagreed with Lei He's point of view. She said, "Deputy Commander Lei, if the plant really had the intention to hunt humans, we wouldn't be able to leave that mountain alive. But in fact, it only hunted animals and did not pose the slightest threat to humans."
Lei He: "But that's only now, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. The existence of this plant is a serious safety hazard, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a biological weapon."
Humans cannot accept that they cannot dominate the world; they only accept that they are at the top of the food chain and will absolutely not allow any higher-level threats to emerge.
Anything that can cause mass destruction to humans, even if it is a plant, is harmful.
