Chapter 90
The fact that the vines are going to eat the crystal nucleus is something that Zhuang Jiu did not expect.
In her impression, the evolution of vines requires strange liquids on mutant animals, and its food comes from water. It was the first time she had heard that it needed to eat something other than the smelly liquid.
"It won't happen if you eat it, right?"
"Don't worry! Our mutant plants are quite sensitive to danger. If something smells good, it must be digested and absorbed, and nothing will happen!" Vine said nothing. Feeling that he had set a standard flag, he continued to say: "But these crystal cores are too few. If I want to promote my next evolution, I will calculate how many I will need."
It is on the ground in the heart of the mountain. After swiping up and down a few times, he tugged at his body irritably: "I can't figure it out... Anyway, at least 1,000 or so, and I will know the specifics after I absorb it."
Zhuang Jiu nodded, then turned to look at Werther: "Weither, what are you going to do with the Experiment 35 after you're done?"
[Sister, I'm going to try it with a strong acid or a strong base to see how it reacts. what's wrong? 】
"The vines said they wanted to try to see if they could absorb the nuclei. Otherwise, you should leave about half of them for the experiment, and then put the rest on the open space in front of the villa." Zhuang Jiu was ready to take off his protective clothing. Across the door, the sound seemed a little distorted.
[It's okay sister. I don't use much here, and the rest can be absorbed by the vines. 】
"No." Zhuang Jiu shook his head earnestly: "I'm afraid that it ate something unclean, and it would be troublesome if he turned his stomach."
When he came out, the vines climbed up Zhuang Jiu's back with a look of disgust on his face. Displeased: "I feel that what you promised me before was perfunctory, and you didn't let me eat more crystal cores!"
"Have you absorbed this thing before?" Zhuang Jiu asked rhetorically.
"No..." The tip of the vine's tail drooped down, and after it stretched, it hooked Zhuang Jiu's little finger pitifully, "But when I first absorbed a mutant animal, you didn't just let me go and fight it. Is it? Why are you starting to push the three and the four now? Honestly, don't you love me anymore!"
Zhuang Jiu took a deep breath: "Let's not mention the last sentence for now, you're too embarrassed to say it for the first time? Did you ask my opinion before you fought with the mutant centipede? Didn't you just rush out?"
Vine turned his head strangely and thought for a while.
Oh, it seemed to say at the time that it was too late to explain so much to you. Then rushed out.
Really didn't say hello.
Hiss, suddenly guilty.
Vine with a guilty conscience retracted the tip of his tail and stood at the door of the villa with Zhuang Jiu, waiting for Werther, who had done the experiment, to take out the "leftovers" of the crystal core.
Werther had always listened to Zhuang Jiu's words, saying that he only needed less than half of the crystal nucleus, but when it came out, he only took out 1/3 of the size.
The fracture of the crystal nucleus cut by him is as smooth as a marble surface. When Werther came out, he also told Zhuang Jiu that it was very strange to cut the crystal nucleus. It was obvious that there was no gap in the crystal nucleus no matter how you smashed it before. When it came across the knife made of crystal ore, it felt like cutting tofu. , extremely smooth.
Zhuangjiu didn't dare to touch it with his hands, so he let the vine branch off and swept away the crystal nucleus from Werther's rubber-gloved hand.
Werther didn't stay much longer. After disposing of the gloves, he returned to the villa and started preparing dinner.
The hardness of the crystal core is quite hard. It is estimated that the vines will not be able to find a way to absorb it so quickly, so Zhuang Jiu dragged a chair out of the room and opened a star drama while waiting for the vines.
As expected, the vine started to fiddle with it after getting the crystal core, smashing it on the ground for a while, and trying to stuff it into her body for a while.
After tossing for more than ten minutes, the crystal nucleus has nothing at all, but the vines are so tired that they are out of breath, panting and taking the crystal nucleus to Zhuangjiu: "Huh, no, I'm exhausted. I clearly feel that this thing is edible. Oh, why can't you even take your mouth off?"
Zhuang Jiu was watching the drama and was excited. Although the star drama just started not long ago, it happened to be the story of the heroine disguising herself and approaching the hero, waiting for an opportunity to kill him, she said casually: "Are you acting too aggressive? Why don't you stick with it? Try, lower its vigilance?" The crystal core is also a strange-looking brain, and it may also have its own thinking ability. If you plan to destroy it as soon as you come up, it is estimated that like a hedgehog, it will erect its sturdy shell. The vine nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, he made himself into a vacuum hen shape and squatted on the ground. Zhuang Jiu glanced at it strangely: "What are you doing?" The vine raised its butt slightly, revealing a small crystal nucleus in its body: "I'm trying to hold a nest." Zhuang Jiu: ... Forget it, first Let it try it for itself. Said to be a cuddle, the vines really squatted motionless beside Zhuang Jiu. I don't know how long it took, suddenly there was a click in Zhuang Jiu's ear, the vine turned into a tray, and for some reason, it suddenly shattered into countless pieces of crystal nuclei. In a few seconds, it was like a liquid, instantly seeping into the body of the vine. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The pain of the bone erosion came, the vine screamed instantly, hit the ground and rolled around like an animal, even the skin of Zhuangjiu connected to its roots felt a little twisted . She was startled and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Are you okay!" The vines gritted their teeth and shouted: "Wow! How can it be so painful! It hurts me!" At this time, there was no way to entangle it. There is no standard As for the language, Zhuang Jiu stretched out his hand and pressed on the rattan: "Where does it hurt? Here, or here?"
In order to facilitate the touch of the wine, the vines spread out into a slightly thicker layer of "vine cake". Zhuang Jiu touched it inch by inch, and his hand suddenly touched a hard object.
It is hidden under the rattan skin, and it feels like a stone is hidden inside.
"It's here!" When Zhuang Jiu's hand touched the hard object, the vines let out a sharper cry like a boiling kettle, and Tang Panpan, who was scraping putty on the far side of the pond, couldn't bear it. He raised his head alertly, and looked in the direction of the villa: "Liuyun, did you hear anything?"
During this time, Liuyun, led by Xiaoshan and Tang Panpan, became a lot more lively, at least in normal communication with acquaintances. , you won't stutter as often as before. He raised his head, and there was a dazed look on his face: "It seems to be the sound of water boiling? But Werther should be in the villa, really, Aunt Huang and the others will go over to turn off the fire when they hear the sound." Tang Panpan nodded. : "It makes sense, then let's continue." They accidentally mixed a lot of crystal ore today, and now they have only used about half of it. If they don't speed up, I'm afraid dinner will be ready, and they haven't finished scraping the putty. Here, the vines were so painful that the water in the body began to overflow. The first time Zhuang Jiu encountered this kind of thing, he seemed a little helpless: "What should I do? Do I need to take this thing out?" The vines were so painful that their voice changed. Liotiao: "If you want it, you can just cut it open with a knife, and then take this thing out. I am a plant and can grow back on my own." Zhuang Jiu hurried upstairs after hearing this and took it in the kitchen. He grabbed a fruit knife and hurried back. The long vines extended and retracted along her movements. It took only a minute or so for Zhuang Jiu to get the knife, and the vines that were still shaking just now were lying motionless on the ground. "Isn't she dead?" Zhuang Jiu muttered as she put on her gloves. The white rubber gloves fit snugly around her slender fingers. Under the sun, the color was almost as white as her skin.
The vine was so sore that it didn't even have the strength to speak, and the tip of its tail moved, indicating that it was still alive, but Zhuangjiu had to move faster, otherwise it would really die.
The tip of the knife sank into the vine's body, splitting the skin in two. It shook violently and was held by Zhuang Jiu's hand, and there was no way to break free.
"Be patient." Zhuang Jiu's forehead also showed a thin trace of sweat, and his subordinates slashed downwards.
The body had just been cut open, and a foul smell came out. Zhuang Jiu frowned slightly and turned his head to the side, avoiding the violent attack of the smell, and then picked up a stone that looked like a stone in its body. come out.
When I took it out, I found that the size and shape of the thing were very familiar, as if it was the crystal nucleus that was eaten by it just now!
It's just that the color of the crystal nucleus was cyan before, but now it has been surrounded by strands of black ash, which is a bit like the wafer is contaminated.
As soon as the black crystal nucleus was separated from the vine's body, it instantly became alive. It only took a few seconds for it to repair the wound that was cut open by the knife, and angrily rolled the crystal core and threw it to the outside: "Trash! It hurts my grandpa!"
"Wait!" Zhuang Jiu She didn't expect the vines to move so quickly. Originally, she wanted to send this thing to the laboratory to see what the black ash attached to the chip was, but it was thrown out directly. The crystal nucleus hit the ground with a crisp sound like glass hitting, and rolled into the middle of the two big trees in an instant. The mutant wild grass that only grew wildly disappeared. The wild grasses that were still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye suddenly paused, and then from their roots, a strange black mist began to spread out, but it failed to spread to other places, but seemed to have some knots. Just like the world, it was enclosed within the range of the weeds, and soon the tip of the weeds disappeared. In the next second, the black fog quickly dissipated, and the weeds inside quickly rushed up a large section at a speed visible to the naked eye. The weeds that had been gnawed up to Zhuangjiu's ankles by the sheep were now almost as high as Zhuangjiu's knees.
These things only happened in an instant, Zhuang Jiu didn't have time to act at all, and things were already settled.
"I'll go!" Vine didn't expect this kind of thing to happen because of his unintentional actions, and he was so scared that he wanted to get into Zhuangjiu's body, but now it is already under the control of Zhuangjiu, and there is no Zhuangjiu. allowed, it was impossible to go back.
Zhuang Jiu snorted coldly and grabbed the vine to warn: "Next time you do something recklessly like this, I will lock you in my body for seven or eight days, and won't let you come out to play!
" When something went wrong, he hooked Zhuang Jiu's finger aggrievedly: "Okay, okay, I know I'm wrong, I'm sorry..."
An excellent vine dares to bend and stretch, and it is cowardly.
Zhuang Jiu was angry and funny, but the vines had something bad happen again, so she directly took the vines back into her body.
It is impossible for the grass to jump up half a meter for no reason. Zhuang Jiu estimated that it should be the effect of the black crystal nucleus, so he stepped forward and pulled some grass to look down.
The crystal nucleus has disappeared, and the soil has changed from yellow to black now, but it is only limited to the circle where the grass is located and has just been "soaked" by the black house, and there is a clear line with the yellow soil next to it. demarcation line. This color easily reminds Zhuang Jiu of the nutrient-rich soil he saw when he went to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the past. I don't know if the soil was really transformed by the black mist, so Zhuang Jiu went back to the laboratory to get a petri dish and put the strange soil in it, ready to let Werther go back and see if the soil quality has changed when he is free. . After all this was done, she returned to the living room. Wang Zai turned into an animal form and was lying on the sofa dozing lazily. He jumped up with excitement when he saw Zhuang Jiu: "Sister Zhuang Zhuang! You are finally back! Teacher Xiao Tang has not come back yet, and there is no one to accompany him. I'm so boring to play! Can you let Xiao Teng out and play with me for a while?"
In Wang Zai's eyes, the vine is a big cat-fucking stick. Because there is no way to go out and play, it is boring to play alone in the leisure winery, so I pester the vine every day.
Zhuang Jiu asked, "Have you finished your homework?"
After getting its affirmative answer, Zhuang Jiu released the vine and let Wang Zai jump off the second-floor balcony with the end of it in his mouth.
The vines are now long enough to extend the ground of the entire Xianjiu, so while accompanying Wangzai, it branched out and looked at Zhuangjiu timidly: "That..."
Zhuangjiu won't be angry until now , so I just sighed: "I'm really not angry. What's wrong?"
Vine hurriedly said: "After eating that crystal nucleus, I seem to have some strange sounds suddenly in my mind, but I'm not sure if it's mine. Hearing hallucinations."
Zhuang Jiu sat up straight: "The sound? What is it? What are you talking about?"
"The sound is very cold, a bit as cold as well water emerging from the ground." It listened carefully for a while, Only cautiously but uncertainly spoke: "Gather...attack...the Alliance Center?"
The author has something to say:
Vine (alert): Kettle? Who said I boil a kettle! Too much! People are obviously a very powerful tenor!
