This thought flashed through Zhou Qiang's mind, but he still had a respectful look on his face.
"Nothing, you didn't say anything last night, you just said there were a lot of plants outside."
Li Daijun nodded.
"Maybe it's been too long since I've been out. I always want to go outside to get some fresh air. I'm sorry."
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, Li Daijun revealed his purpose.
"They want to go and take another look at the place where you found the fragment. This function can even promote plant growth. It should be more than that simple."
It can be said that things like sea crystal are stronger when strong. Zhou Qiang himself doesn't know how effective this thing is.
He is also very curious now whether this kind of thing comes from the bodies of those marine creatures, or from the sea water of the ocean itself?
"Oh, by the way, the person leading the team this time is the eldest lady of the Xue family. That girl hasn't been out for a long time."
The old man once again dropped a piece of bombshell news. Zhou Qiang nodded with a look of yearning on his face.
The food in the scientific research institute is normal. This group of people are older and are not used to taking nutritional supplements, so they can only eat normal things.
Moreover, Zhou Qiang only saw the five of them eating in the entire scientific research institute, and even the woman named Xiaohuai was not there.
Almost immediately after finishing the meal, Xiaohuai appeared like a ghost.
"Mr. Zhao, come with me."
Zhou Qiang nodded and followed timidly.
Seeing the woman who had had physical contact with him again, Zhou Qiang's heart no longer fluctuated much.
After all, is this guy a person or a problem?
The woman's face still hasn't changed much, but the expression on her face is very cold.
It can be seen that they are somewhat eager to obtain the sea crystal. After a simple interrogation, the team is about to set off.
In addition to the eldest lady of the Xue family, there are also people from the Lei family, and even the Xie family.
Obviously he is not a living person, but Mu Shen is actually able to handle all these problems.
The team set off. A total of five people from each major family came, and there were ten escort teams remaining.
No one from the Zhao family showed up, but there was a member of the Xie family who frequently looked at Zhou Qiang.
It was none other than the young man from the Xie family who had a relationship with Zhou Qiang. The special skill he had awakened was Bing.
This guy is relatively lucky, and nothing happened to him in such a chaotic situation last time.
This time they didn't set off in a car. Instead, a man from the Lei family summoned two large praying mantis-like things.
This is a true awakener with summoning attributes.
These two mantis monsters are level five and their flying speed is not slow. The most important thing is that they are quite stable when people sit on them.
The woman from the Xue family has been silent since she got on the back of the praying mantis, and even closed her eyes to rest.
These people should be people who are relatively close to Wood God. If all these people are killed, will Wood God's true body just leave the city behind?
Zhou Qiang pretended to be nervous and sat next to him while looking around casually.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Qiang was ready to wait until they were a certain distance away from the air raid shelter and then set up a wave of traps to try.
After all, how will you know if it works if you don’t try it?
In order to not attract attention later, Zhou Qiang kept pretending not to dare to lower his head, even pretending to be in a coma.
Almost no one paid attention to him. Except for the man from the Xie family, others only looked at him twice.
Zhou Qiang relaxed when he saw this.
However, Mu Shen's exploration scope should be quite limited. Otherwise, how could he rush to send someone to come forward after he revealed that Hai Jing was in a zombie's body?
In fact, it was pretty much what he thought.
The Wood God itself is a very special being. It has always believed that every city has its own destiny.
It is not actually a zombie itself, just an alienated plant.
After it devoured the first person's brain, it quickly inherited most of that person's memories.
As it eats more and more human brains, it becomes stronger.
But somewhere deep down, it always feels that it must have a human enemy.
For the sake of long-term development, it restrained its instinctive desire to eat, and instead began to slowly develop the entire Cloud City.
On the one hand, it protects the entire city as a protector of human beings, but on the other hand, it brings into the research institute all those who have special health after taking blood tests when entering the city.
These people are all very suitable plant carriers, that is, its future subordinates.
As long as the stronger guys in the city don't do something too extreme, it won't attack them easily.
But once these people cross that line, it will intervene.
In order to appear in Cloud City openly and honestly, it even split its own consciousness and merged it into other people's bodies.
Moreover, it will ensure that the entire Cloud City is under its control.
Whether it is nutritional supplements or ordinary food that is eaten, as long as it comes into contact, it can leave some traces behind.
And the thing that it regrets most is that it integrated the split consciousness into the body of the eldest daughter of the Xue family.
This woman concealed her own strength. When she was at the same level as it, the Wood God's body was almost backfired.
If it hadn't reacted quickly and swallowed a bunch of human brains, it might have been that clone now.
However, as it became stronger and stronger in the later period, it gradually began to take control of the initiative, and even took the initiative to deceive the woman, tricking her into taking her to the tenth level.
But how is it possible?
These people are just its food rations.
Moreover, it sensed Zhou Qiang the moment he summoned the ghost. This was the enemy it had been waiting for!
Although being a plant has many advantages, its disadvantages are also obvious.
Once the roots are planted, they cannot be easily moved.
But in order to kill Zhou Qiang, Mu Shen's body had begun to consume its stored energy and began to take root in the surrounding areas.
After all, that person was so cunning that he was unwilling to enter the city no matter what!
…
"How on earth did you discover that thing?"
Zhou Qiang was closing his eyes to relax when a man's voice sounded in his ear.
He opened his eyes in surprise and saw the Xie family man who had walked next to him at some point.
This man is actually a different kind of person. Compared with the current people who all seem to be insensitive, he is a little out of place.
Zhou Qiang looked over and found that although the man was asking this question, his eyes were always looking at him.
Exposed?
A strong murderous intention flashed through Zhou Qiang's heart. If he threw someone violently from such a high altitude, the unprepared person would definitely die.
"Have you not been parasitized yet?"
Suddenly, another more ethereal voice sounded.
Zhou Qiang looked strange.
Because this feeling is just like when he usually listens to the system notification sound, it sounds directly in his head.
"Don't be nervous or afraid. I can see that you are different from them! Let's run away together!"
The Xie family man said again.
Zhou Qiang lowered his head and began to answer the first question asked by the other party.
During this period, the man's voice kept ringing from his head, and Zhou Qiang finally understood this guy's situation.
It turned out that during the last hunt in the Yangtze River, he was planning to try to kill Xie Yujun. After all, logically speaking, he was the only heir to the Xie family.
And before that, he had always been a loyal believer of the Wood God.
In a desperate place like the doomsday world, many people will look for a belief to keep themselves going.
But when he discovered that his brother who was like a straw bag suddenly had a sacred robe on his body, and even Zhou Qiang, who even the Wood God could not find, his faith began to waver.
Especially, after he saw with his own eyes the dead Xie Yujun being swallowed up by the robe and resurrected.
He was frightened.
After that day, he never even dared to go back and kept wandering outside the city.
The main reason for going back this time was because nothing unusual had happened for such a long time, and he suspected that there was something wrong with his thinking.
As a result, I was assigned such a task just after I got home.
Moreover, he is also a dual talent awakener.
Compared with the powerful and dazzling ice attribute, this ability to communicate with people only through brain waves does not seem to have much effect.
Not even his family knew about this ability.
After coming out this time, he recognized Xie Yujun among the escorts at a glance.
Even though the other party has covered himself tightly, as someone who has lived with him for so long, he cannot be wrong.
Something is wrong with this city!
Even the eldest lady of the Xue family who was once good at dancing was not right!
They had numb expressions on their faces, as if they were dead people. Only Zhou Qiang's body looked like a living person.
Therefore, in fact, this body level is only level five, and he also wants to come over to seek cooperation, or to be more precise, he is preparing to find a similar person.
Zhou Qiang looked surprised.
He said that he had never seen a monster that could guard corpses in such a long time, but the eight-headed python last time was a guy with a strange painting style.
If someone is behind the scenes, everything will be fine.
Listening to this guy's endless wooing, Zhou Qiang nodded vaguely.
The only topic the two people communicated openly was how he found the things in the zombie's brain, so he only attracted a few looks from others, but no one came over.
"Then we made an agreement! When we get to the place where you found the zombies, the two of us will do it together! Remember to run in the opposite direction! Maybe one of us can survive! Stay in this city again Someone will definitely die there!"
After the man said this, he obediently returned to his previous position.
Zhou Qiang's mouth twitched.
Damn it, is this because he is a fool and you are trying to trick him into using him as bait?
The speed of level 5 is completely different from the speed of level 6. He would definitely be the first to be caught if they ran separately.
It seems like this guy has been frightened to the point of going insane?
If someone who has been struggling in the apocalyptic world encounters this situation, the mental breakdown may not be so serious.
But it is normal for people who have rarely suffered much to collapse after finding that their worldview has collapsed.
There was deathly silence on the back of the mantis. Except for a group of skeleton birds, there was nothing to stop them.
When he was still more than a hundred kilometers away from the air raid shelter, Zhou Qiang could already feel his own position.
It seems that although his level has not improved, his mental power has been slowly rising.
Zhou Qiang tentatively turned his consciousness back, but in the blink of an eye he appeared underground in the air-raid shelter.
Two dark figures were still standing guarding him, they were the Abyssal Ones he had released.
There was no time to delay, even if the flying dragon zombie was faster than the mantis, he couldn't afford to delay.
Rushing out of the cave quickly, he bumped into Tang Jianlong and the others.
After talking about the matter in a few words, both men expressed their willingness to help.
But Zhou Qiang refused.
The danger is too high. The fewer people involved in this ambush, the better.
He took away the two abyssal ones, knocked down another sea crystal fragment, and then rode the flying dragon directly to Shuangyan Town.
During this period, he had been paying attention to the distance between the brainless people.
Soon he arrived at Shuangyan Town, and after checking it, he began to set up traps.
All the explosive bags and liquid bombs on his body have been used. If there is enough time, he may even return to the real world to get another batch.
These bombs are great treasures when you're being naughty!
After hiding the remaining four Abyssalers and the Butcher on his body, Zhou Qiang quietly rode the flying dragon to the cave not far from Shuangyan Town.
He can't be exposed too early!
Then he closed his eyes and returned to the body of the brainless man again.
Fortunately, because he would occasionally close his eyes to rest on the way, no one noticed anything was wrong just now.
When we arrived at the outskirts of Shuangyan Town, we could see the town wrapped in spider webs with the naked eye.
"Are you sure that's where it is?"
The eldest lady of the Xue family raised her head and looked at Zhou Qiang coldly and asked.
Thinking of the fiery look of the other party at the beginning, Zhou Qiang felt a little sad that women are too fickle, but he still nodded.
"Yes, there were a lot of zombies in this town before. They seemed to be fighting over something. I took advantage of the chaos and sneak-attacked a guy to grab the fragment!"
Zhou Qiang was serious about talking nonsense, and the eldest lady of the Xue family was noncommittal.
The mantis was controlled to stop ten meters away from Shuangyan Town. The land next to the town had already been destroyed.
Several people fell to the ground, and then a member of the escort slowly stood up.
He waved his hand, and a violent light appeared as his robe shook, hitting the white spider web directly.
Zhou Qiang was stunned. This breath was very familiar.
