The strange scent on the white flowers made Xie Hui's eyes that had just opened feel tired again, as if the upper and lower eyelids were already fighting.
He bit the tip of his tongue, forced himself to calm down, and cut off the vines around his body with the ice pick.
After breaking free from the shackles, he searched for the little guy almost subconsciously.
Before he went to bed, he swore that he would protect his cub, but now he ran to the balcony and tiptoed to see the seedlings in the flower pot.
With his concentrated appearance, it seems that he didn't realize that he had changed behind him.
"So?"
Xie Hui's voice made the cub standing there turn his head subconsciously, and was shocked when he saw the scene inside the house.
"dad!"
After those vines were cut off, they seemed to be angry, waving their teeth and claws, before they were tied to Xie Hui, they were broken by the ice pick, and the broken vines fell to the ground, and soon turned yellow. .
After the end of the world, Xie Yun, who has seen many strange things, still felt a little uneasy after seeing this scene, and almost subconsciously wanted to run to find his father.
Before running over, thinking of the seedling he was very interested in, he simply reached out and lifted the pot up, holding it in his arms and planning to watch it later.
Xie Hui noticed that when Yun Yun was carrying the flowerpot, the waving vines froze for a moment.
If it was just one or two vines, it would not attract his attention, but the many waving vines stopped in a very tacit understanding, and then waved even more crazily. It is hard not to notice this scene.
For Xie Huihui, these vines did not pose a threat to him at all, but it was quite interesting to watch.
Yunyun ran to her father with the flowerpot in her arms, looked at those vines, and wanted to eat them all angrily.
While he wasn't paying attention, he quietly played tricks here. What if his father thinks that he is a little zombie who has been very untrustworthy after this incident is over!
Thinking of this, Xie Yun wanted to grab those vines, and as soon as he took a step, Xie Hui reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"dad?"
"Yunyun, this, how about Dad burning it?"
Xie Hui took out the lighter from his clothes and approached the seedling in the flowerpot.
Yun Yun's ability to stare at this thing for such a long time is enough to show that he really likes it.
But because the person who said this sentence was his father, after hesitating for a while, he still nodded his head obediently.
"it is good."
At this time, the crazy vines approached Xie Hui, and they all began to bend down at him, as if begging for mercy.
"Dad, what are these?"
Xie Yun was completely dumbfounded at this time, his eyes widened for a long while, but he didn't want to understand what was going on.
The vines have grown into spirits?
Xie Hui took back the lighter, put the lighter back into his pocket, stared at the vine for a while, and said when the vine started to tremble:
"Back back."
Soon, all the vines in the house disappeared.
Xie Hui then turned his attention to the seedlings in the flowerpot in front of him, saw the two leaves stuck together as if scared, and handed them to his son.
"This is the vine from before. It's not bad for you as a toy."
Although this vine looks quite strange, it is of no use to Xie Huihui. The vine is not strong enough, not interesting enough, and does not know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
"Dad, can it grow so many vines? Its hair is so strong."
"Um."
Xie Hui generally would not do anything to something that has self-awareness, unless it is absolutely necessary, or it is actively attacking itself.
When he first stepped into this small town, Xie Hui vaguely sensed something was wrong, and now he knows the root cause.
"Father, is this vine edible? Let it grow one day."
"That's a good question. You can try it when you have a chance in the future."
Xie Hui looked at the seedlings lying down in the flowerpot, and reached out to rub his son's head.
It is also their luck that they just met the young stage of this seedling.
Although it can grow a lot of vines, but because its level is too low, it has no lethality.
The reason why they seldom encountered zombies around here before should be related to this seedling.
When Xie Hui talked about this to Yun Yun, Yun Yun, who had been pulling its leaves with his fingers, suddenly stopped, and his eyes were round and round.
"Dad, is it that I have no food to eat?"
"should be."
After Xie Hui made sure that this plant wouldn't hurt Yun Yun, he planned to go around and check to see if there were any other mutated plants.
If the level of mutated plants is high enough, they are actually more difficult to deal with than zombies. Their plant identity is their natural umbrella.
Knowing how to disguise, it is difficult for ordinary people to see through.
It was also a coincidence that the plant hadn't had time to become smart, and when it saw a food-like existence, it wanted to eat him, but it sent itself to Xie Hui's hands.
After Xie Hui checked around and came back, he confirmed that there was no second mutated plant in the small town other than this one.
Along the way, they encountered many mutated plants.
But this is the first time I have encountered such a mutant plant that knows how to plant itself in a flower pot and find a suitable place to bask in the sun.
When Xie went back, he saw Yun Yun sitting on the stool, holding the flowerpot in his arms, pointing at the leaves of the seedlings in the flowerpot and cursing:
"It's all your fault that I can't get enough to eat! Quickly spit out the zombie crystal nucleus! If you don't spit it out, I will eat you at night!"
Xie Huizheng thought this scene was funny, but in the next second he saw the plant shaking its leaves, and actually spit out two crystal nuclei.
The reason why he kept this thing before was that Yunyun didn't have any playmates all the time, and he was afraid that he would feel too boring, so it would be nice to have a self-aware plant with him.
Unexpectedly, this plant would spit out zombie crystal nuclei.
If you grow up in the future, you may be able to help a lot.
If it were someone else, they would be more or less afraid of this thing. But for Xie Hui, as long as it is under his control, then this thing is just a toy.
"Dad, look, my dinner is settled."
After Yunyun heard her father's footsteps, she hurriedly stood up and walked over, letting him look at the crystal nucleus in her hand.
This crystal nucleus is bright red, and under the moonlight at night, it emits a streamer.
The leaves of the flower pot placed on the ground by Yunyun trembled, and in the next second, many vines appeared out of thin air.
Before the vines had time to swing, the ice pick aimed at the roots of the tender seedlings in the flower pot, and the raised vines fell down again in an instant.
"disobedient?"
The cub who came here to show off to his father was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously shook his head.
"No, I am very obedient."
After finishing speaking, he looked up and realized that his father was not looking at him. He followed his father's line of sight to look at the extra vines in the house, and ran back holding the crystal nucleus angrily.
Xie Hui took out a self-heating hot pot and planned to prepare dinner for himself.
Sitting there, Yunyun was carefully whipping the leaves of the seedling with her index finger, once to the left and then to the right.
"I made you disobedient."
"I told you to dare to fight with my father!"
"Oh no, it's the moving blade!"
Xie Hui sat next to him, listening to his whispered thoughts, in the extremely quiet night of the last days, there was also a bit of family excitement.
This seedling planted itself in a flowerpot, and the two leaves that were beaten in the end were lying on the ground, and they just couldn't get up.
Xie Yun didn't dare to whip his roots, for he was afraid that if he accidentally broke it, he would break the toy his father had prepared for him.
At the back, the more Yunyun thought about it, the angrier he became, he stretched out his hand to hold his fragile trunk, shook it and said:
"I'm hungry! Eat the crystal nucleus or eat you?"
In the next second, the trunk trembled, and the three crystal nuclei fell off.
Xie Yun picked up one and washed it with water. After washing it, he stuffed it into his mouth. After eating, he shook it at its leaves.
"Cough cough."
This time, before Xie Yun finished speaking, the seedling tactfully spit out the crystal nucleus.
After Xie Hui had dinner, he was a little surprised to see the cub sitting there hiccupping. Since he turned into a zombie, this was the first time he saw him hiccupping.
"I am full?"
"Well, Dad, it has a lot of delicious crystal nuclei."
Yunyun hugged the flower pot and smiled happily. The two leaves of the seedling were drooping, it seemed that it was not very happy.
In the dark night, Xie Hui stared at his son's glowing eyes, then looked at the limp seedling, inexplicably felt that if this seedling was to be with them for a long time, then perhaps it should be given a name.
"Yunyun, do you want to take it with you in the future?"
After hearing his father's words, Xie Yun thought about it seriously, and stared at the seedling. He thought it was very interesting, and he could spit out crystal nuclei for himself to eat.
but…
"Forget it dad, we'll eat it tomorrow, it's so heavy."
Xie Hui glanced at the shivering seedlings, picked up the mineral water bottle that Yunyun used to rinse the crystal nucleus, cut off half of it, and moved a little soil from the flower pot.
"Is it okay to live here?"
After finishing speaking, the two leaves of this seedling drooped down, holding on to the edge of the flower pot, pulled itself out, moved it to the bottle cap and planted itself again.
The leaves of the newly planted seedlings had already started to turn yellow. After seeing it, Xie Hui used his ability to water it, but he didn't respond when he touched it.
"Dad, what's wrong with it?"
"Probably need a break."
"Yunyun, do you want to give it a name? For example, rhubarb or something?"
Xie Yun frowned, subconsciously shook his head.
"No, Rhubarb sounds like a puppy."
"Father, we call it Fuguier~"
