1180: Big Mouth Flower Mutation Evolution
Looking at the phone in his hand, Liu Jiang scratched his head and turned to look at the Sunflower beside him.
What kind of existence was the guy who sold him the goods?
Having this plant, which could be called an alien civilization, had already challenged his Worldview.
Now the other party even knew about his Grandpa's advanced malignant tumor!
Liu Jiang, as the grandson, only knew about it at this time.
Among these questions, only one point was key, covering everything.
That was, the guy who just called, he said he had the ability to cure Grandpa!
Without much hesitation, Liu Jiang immediately called back Hong Lei, who had just called him.
"Hello, what is the method you mentioned?!
Is it really possible to cure such a terminal illness?!"
Liu Jiang had spent some years growing up with Grandpa, and he also had the knowledge learned from Grandpa, which laid the foundation for him to lead the Liu Family for three generations today.
Both emotionally and in terms of value, for Liu Jiang, Grandpa should continue to live; that was the best situation for the Liu Family!
"In the past era, it was basically impossible, but now the entire World has undergone tremendous changes. Energy that some scientists have never understood fills the entire World. Everything that was impossible in our original Worldview will become possible."
"Curing terminal illnesses is not a difficult problem."
After a slight pause, Hong Lei looked at the information recorded on the note in his hand and said to Liu Jiang on the other end of the phone: "Your Liu Family now has some influence; you should be able to get a living human-monster, right?"
"human-monster?" Hearing this term, Liu Jiang's words carried a hint of doubt.
Obviously, at the beginning of the apocalypse, some terms that were not widely accepted by the public caused some communication barriers.
Hong Lei patiently explained: "human-monster are monsters transformed from humans. They are often beings born from the extreme, distorted evolution of a certain obsession in their hearts. Compared to Zombies, this type of monster is much, much stronger. You are one of the central figures of the Liu Family; you should know about this monster, right?"
"That monster, do you call it a human-monster?" After Hong Lei's simple explanation, Liu Jiang's mind also locked onto the object the other party's words referred to.
"You want our Liu Family to get such a terrifying human-monster? And you require it to be alive?"
"Could it be that a human-monster can save Old Master?" Liu Jiang's mind worked quickly, instantly realizing something.
"Yes and no." Hong Lei put away the note in his hand. He remembered most of the subsequent information on it and could speak without a script.
"The human-monster is indeed the key to saving your Grandpa. However, to be precise, it is the dense Darkness power that fills the human-monster from inside out. Darkness power, that is the main thing that will save your Grandpa!"
"The Darkness power on a human-monster is very dense. If a normal person gets close to this Darkness power, they will inevitably be invaded. In mild cases, they will go into shock and coma; in severe cases, they will be infiltrated by Darkness power and assimilated into a human-monster's subordinate!"
"You say Darkness power is so dangerous, how can it save my Old man?" Liu Jiang's words were filled with confusion.
"Because Darkness power has an absolute possessiveness towards the human body, it does not allow any external forces to invade the human body." When Hong Lei said this, his words also carried a hint of disbelief: "When Darkness power first comes into contact with the human body, the first objects of attack will be the viruses and pathogenic cells that have invaded the human body!"
"Cancer cells are also within the range of Darkness power's annihilation. Only after all the pathogens in the human body are eliminated will Darkness power begin to transform and occupy the human body."
"Your Liu Family only needs to catch a living human-monster and keep Old Master at a safe distance from it, within the range where the Darkness power can be released, and you can control Old Master's condition."
"Contact it for a short period each day. Once the cancer cells are completely killed by the Darkness power, Old Master can eat more supplements afterward to force out the remaining Darkness power and recover."
In his words, Hong Lei explained clearly, more or less, all the methods Wang Yang had told him before.
"So this is possible?!"
The method mentioned by the person on the phone was a path Liu Jiang had never conceived of.
This method seemed very simple, and there were no medical difficulties that needed to be overcome within it.
But to discover this point, the trial-and-error cost required would be at least several years and a considerable number of lives!
After all, when normal people see a human-monster, as long as their minds are normal, they will flee frantically; it's impossible for them to stay with the other party at all!
Moreover, even if someone wanted to be near a human-monster, they would inevitably end up dying tragically at the hands of the human-monster!
Although the person on the phone only verbally described the method.
But it definitely gave their Liu Family, which had fallen off a cliff, an extremely crucial lifeline!
"I've noted down the method you mentioned. What's your name? If your method is truly feasible, our Liu Family will definitely remember this kindness!"
"My surname is Hong. I won't say my full name. It's not too late to tell you after your Old Master recovers." Hong Lei still left himself a way out.
All the methods for treating Liu Family's Old Master were obtained from Wang Yang.
In Hong Lei's heart, this guy Wang Yang was not a reliable person.
Although the other party voluntarily mentioned this method in front of the woman he recognized, 'Liu Han', which significantly increased the credibility of this method.
But Hong Lei ultimately could not place all his trust in it.
In case this method not only failed to cure Old Master but also caused the Old Man of the Liu Family to die faster, if he reported his name now, there would be trouble later.
And if Old Master was really cured, it would not be too late for Hong Lei to let the other party know his identity later.
Of course, it was also mainly because Hong Lei was not very sensitive to the Liu Family as a backer.
With the System on him as such a big backer, compared to it, where could the Liu Family have any attraction at all?
The reason for making this call was that forming a good relationship with the Liu Family was a small matter; the key was to prevent this guy Wang Yang from using this treatment method later to cling to the Liu Family, thereby allowing that kid Wang Yang to make a comeback.
Now it seemed that the matter was more or less handled.
Looking at the hung-up phone, Hong Lei understood that Liu Jiang had already started integrating his subordinates to act according to the method he had told him.
...
"Screech~"
The RV and the cargo truck in front stopped one after another.
Hong Lei and Da Hu were in the main driver's seats of different vehicles, looking out the window.
They returned to the villa.
In the villa, what first attracted Hong Lei's attention was the area of the incomplete Delicious Nut.
When leaving this morning, Hong Lei saw that the Delicious Nut originally only had a volume of about ten centimeters left.
At this moment, the entire Delicious Nut had grown directly to at least thirty centimeters!
Lush green branches and leaves covered the slowly growing and healing gap above the Delicious Nut, and waves of sweet scent re-lingered around the Delicious Nut.
Although the Delicious Nut had not fully recovered, at its current level, it could completely attract a certain number of Zombies!
Thinking about it, by tomorrow, the entire Delicious Nut should be able to fully return!
It was also this test that made Hong Lei understand that Growth Mode was indeed a function extremely suitable for him.
A small amount of energy points allowed the almost unusable plant to return to its Peak state.
Just this point alone established Growth Mode as a permanent feature in the future!
He flicked some of the green leaves on it, and Hong Lei's movement paused slightly.
He could see that there was still a considerable gap on the side of this Delicious Nut.
This guy is growing a bit fast; it's just growing taller, and these gaps aren't filling back with nutrients.
"Hong Lei, stay away from that big potato!" In the villa, Jiang Qun, who came out after hearing the car's sound, saw Hong Lei standing next to the Delicious Nut at first glance.
"Huh? Stay away from this potato?" Looking at the innocent-looking Delicious Nut in front of him with little understanding, Hong Lei thought his Lin Yue's wife was afraid of this plant, afraid it would hurt him.
Just as he was about to speak to comfort the woman, signaling her not to worry, he suddenly heard the sound of a Zombie roaring madly behind him!
"Roar!"
In this roar, a Zombie with dry and withered skin, hair full of dust and dryness, and a ferocious face, pounced directly from the Darkness area!
Hong Lei's breath hitched.
The next breath.
This Zombie crashed headfirst into the half-grown Delicious Nut and frantically gnawed on its surface!
The state of wolfing down food made Hong Lei understand why those wounds appeared next to the Delicious Nut.
So, were there still Zombies around this villa that hadn't been cleaned up?
This was somewhat dangerous.
Fortunately, the Delicious Nut had grown well; it attracted the attention of all the hidden attacking targets.
"Snap~"
Accompanied by a shadow flickering past.
Hong Lei could see the Zombie that was burying its head and gnawing on the Delicious Nut being directly picked up by the Big Mouth Flower hiding in the Darkness and eating heartily beside it, chewing, swallowing, and digesting it in large gulps!
Next to the Delicious Nut, the Big Mouth Flower, arranged to digest corpses, coincidentally took on the responsibility of dealing with intruders.
Looking at the Delicious Nut and the Big Mouth Flower swallowing Zombies in the Darkness, Hong Lei had a simple combination in mind.
The Delicious Nut, as a front-row plant, was indeed an indispensable plant in most situations!
For the whole day, he didn't know how many Zombie corpses the Big Mouth Flower had digested.
Coming over to the Big Mouth Flower, Hong Lei looked around and found that out of hundreds of Zombie corpses, only a little over ten were missing.
Although the Big Mouth Flower dealing with these Zombie corpses would not cause any pollution or the generation of foul odors and diseases, this speed was truly not commendable.
While shaking his head, Hong Lei suddenly noticed another change in the situation.
This change came from the Big Mouth Flower's body.
He saw that, originally in a state where a single stem extended directly upwards with one head, at this time, a very small flower bud had grown out from the side in the middle of the stem!
"Can Big Mouth Flower grow side buds?" While muttering to himself, Hong Lei observed for a while.
For a while, he couldn't figure out anything.
However, faintly, he could sense that the Big Mouth Flower seemed to have undergone some not-so-simple changes!
He hadn't forgotten that when he left today, he had also enabled Growth Mode for the Big Mouth Flower.
In one day, after eating so many Zombies, under the infiltration of dense Darkness power, the Big Mouth Flower very likely underwent the mutation and evolution mentioned by the System!
