Chapter 238.
The entire room was quiet!
From the moment Sheng An gripped away Ye Ci quickly and ruthlessly, everyone else stared in disbelief.
Especially Jiang Yu.
She knew how much this guy valued the only hair!
That was its lifeblood.
At this moment, looking at the image of it blankly touching its head again, it was inexplicably heartbreaking.
Sheng An saw Academician Zhou staring wide-eyed and not picking it up, so he asked, “Not enough?”
Academician Zhou: “……”
He still didn’t say anything.
Because at this moment, the Mutant Folding Ear Root seemed to finally realize what was going on, the root system all bulged up in an instant, slightly reddened, and the nutrients in the ground around it were drained, absorbing them along with the contaminated components.
The mutant plant was furious!
The root system seemed to grow in an instant, teeth and claws flailing.
Wu Buye had never heard the mutant plant’s heartbeat clearly, but at this moment, he heard it clearly-
[Die!
Sheng An retracted her line of sight, one hand still holding the leaf, the other hand reaching out and pointing at the mutated Folding Ear Root.
Behind her, it was as if a giant clock appeared in the void, the white hands moving slightly.
Mutant Folding Ear Root returned to its previous state, including …… that leaf.
Mutant Folded Ear Root: Huh?
In the next moment, Sheng An gathers and walks away.
Mutant Folding Ear Root: Huh!
The next moment, the leaf reappears.
Mutant Folding Ear Root: ?
The leaves are gripped away again.
Mutant Folding Ear Root:!
Six times in a row, the Mutant Folding Ear Root was frozen in place, bewildered to the core, while in Sheng An’s other hand, five leaves had already appeared.
There was also one left for it.
Sheng An asked again, “Is it enough?”
Academician Zhou gulped, almost instinctively, “Enough …… enough ……”
Surprisingly, it can still be like this?
Team Leader Sheng’s supernatural ability could still be used like this?
He was shocked while carefully receiving the five leaves.
Sheng An stood up, clapped his hands, and prepared to leave.
And on the ground, the mutated Folding Ear Root looked like it had reacted and surged forward, hugging Sheng An with its roots and wrapping itself around her leg, its only leaf raised and shaking constantly.
The corner of Wu Buye’s mouth twitched.
–It was the first time I saw the word “flattery” on a plant.
And the message it conveyed was also very obvious, it wanted leaves, it wanted many leaves, it wanted Sheng An to continue to go back in time and give it dense leaves.
Sheng An lowered her eyes and didn’t say anything.
The Mutant Folding Ear Root held up the other root systems, some of them were comparing hearts, some of them were pampering her, some of them were pounding her legs, and some of them were pinching her shoulders.
The flattery was shocking.
Wu Buye once again barely succeeded in reading her mind, “It seems to be saying – please, my dear master?”
The mutant folding ear root, the only leaf, kept nodding its head.
Crowd: “……”
The corners of Sheng An’s mouth twitched as she pulled the octopus-like Folded Ear Root down, lifted it up in front of her, and looked at it, “Cooperate well with Academician Zhou and help complete the wasteland planting, and when the time comes, you can have as many leaves as you want.”
The mutant folding ear root wildly nodded its leaves.
It waved its root system to express its approval.
Sheng An nodded in satisfaction, her original bad mood because Academician He and the others would turn into fae gradually improving.
She even touched her leaves like she was jerking a mountain flower.
The mountain flower on Qi Lingmu’s shoulder showed its teeth.
The mutant origami root was obviously happy too, so-
It severed its own root system and held it up in front of Sheng An in an offering manner.
The smell so strong that it was like eating a whole bowl of fishy grass filled the air, and Sheng An put away his smile and threw it out expressionlessly and without mercy.
Mutant Folding Ear Root: “??”
Sheng An lifts his foot and leaves in large strides.
Qi Lingmu follows.
Shanhua makes a face towards the Folded Ear Root.
Jiang Yu looked at Folded Ear Root and shook his head, sighing, “You said how good would you be if you were a cilantro?”
After saying that, he hurriedly followed.
Mutant Folded Ear Root: “???”
Cilantro?
Doesn’t it folding ear root smell good?
They walked out of the Planting Research Institute before finally getting rid of that smell.
Jiang Yu let out a long breath.
Wu Buye rubbed his nose, “It’s getting used to the smell, next time you cook hot pot, try it with Jia Guangliang, the last time he enjoyed it, the memory of his expression is still fresh, maybe it just smells bad and tastes good?”
Jiang Yu was speechless, “How can you even smell bad and still taste good? It’s not like stinky tofu or snail powder!”
Wu Buye thought about it.
Jia Guangliang had a mesmerized look on his face every time he smelled it, as if this thing smelled good to him ……
It still smelled bad to him, so don’t try it easily.
Wu Buye looked at Sheng An, “Sister Sheng, what do we do next?”
Sheng An was about to speak.
Suddenly-
The alarm that resounded throughout the entire base was pulled.
“Crack!”
The alien’s five senses were upgraded, and they clearly heard the sound of thunder rising outside, shaking the sky and the earth.
It was going to change the sky.
Sheng An and Qi Lingmu glanced at each other, their expressions equally grave.
“Go!” Sheng An lifted her foot and left in large strides.
Her brows became stern, and Qi Lingmu pulled on her collar, cutting into combat mode.
It was going to rain.
The world-wide fires that had burned the entire world, resulting in mid-October yet still as hot as the summer heat, were finally about to be extinguished.
However, that also meant–
Acid rain is coming.
In the middle of October, more than the fourth month of the end of the world, at about the same time as Lai Wan Yun’s previous life as they remembered it, thunder rumbled.
Lai Wan Yun once recalled:
[In my last life, the thunder also sounded suddenly, roughly because the drought had been too long, the thunder gusted, the heavy rain took a long time to come, and the thunder lasted for two hours.]
Sheng An calmly sat on the watchtower, and through the radio, gave an order-
“The acid rain is still two hours away, everyone, within an hour, end the work at hand and return to the dormitory.”
“Ten thousand yuan, within an hour, make sure that all shelters are notified and get feedback.”
“Wu Buye, Li Xin, conduct an outer shield check.”
Countdown: 60 minutes.
Yang Chuan:
[We didn’t know anything at that time, everyone was in a frenzy, wretched people came out of the holes in the ground and prostrated themselves on the dry, cracked ground, cheering, jumping, and praying for the heavy rain to come down soon.”]
Qilingmu: “Everyone has returned to their dormitories, check is complete.”
Wan Wan: “All shelters have received the news and are actively preparing.”
Wu Buye: “Fixing one vulnerability, the rest confirmed.”
Sheng An’s eyes were calm, behind him stood Hao Jingye, with a communicator in his hand-
“One hour to go, according to the plan, all staff return to their positions and get ready.”
Countdown: 30 minutes.
Jiang Yu:
[At that time, although more than ninety percent of the people had died, everyone wasn’t particularly short of food, and there was still hope for life. I was also part of the ecstasy, I thought that when the heavy rain came, the disaster would pass and life could be restored again.”]
Sheng An was still sitting on top of the watchtower, looking at the overcast sky, and the lightning and thunder.
“There are still thirty minutes left, everyone cannot leave the base until there is an official notification from the state, the TVs on all levels will be broadcasting the acid rain crisis in real time for everyone, remember, do not touch a single drop of rainwater, and if there is an accident, do not touch the injured, and contact the staff immediately.” Sheng An admonished.
Countdown: 15 minutes.
Long Tianyu:
[Disaster! That’s the real disaster! Those who didn’t see it with their own eyes could never imagine the human beings on the ground anticipating the arrival of the downpour, some with their mouths open, some with their hands spread out, some with their heads tilted up ……
Then the rain, muddy with the color of blood, poured down, and those who were excited, their cheers turned into screams in an instant, their clothes instantly burned, their skin festered, and as soon as they touched the rain, their skin instantly split open, and their screams, cries for help, and cries of pain, resounded through the world.
Some people hid underground with their pitted bodies, letting out agonizing cries and shivering as they watched the soil get wetter and wetter. And those people on the ground who could no longer escape, their flesh and blood were corroded away little by little, turning into blood and water, and then washed away by the heavy rain, even the white bones left behind were mutilated.
Acid rain, devouring the survivors who struggled to survive in this world, this is a disaster no less than a meteorite coming down ……]
Sheng An stood up and ordered-
“Open the base shield!”
Countdown: 10 minutes.
Making sure that the shields were opened and there were no problems, Sheng An stood up, looked at the sky, and waited quietly.
Countdown: 0.
“Clatter-” With a sound, acid rain officially descended on the land.
At the same time, Long Tianyu appeared at the lookout and disappeared with the two people who recorded the first image of the acid rain.
