Heavy Armoured Truck In Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 29 Mutated Man-eating Peach

Shen Cong's biggest impression of the end of the world was that the sky was blue, the earth was grayish yellow, and the monster's blood was bright red.

Green is hardly ever present.

But at this moment, Shen Cong saw a touch of emerald green.

what is that?

Shen Cong took out his binoculars and looked ahead.

It was a tree, a big tree with luxuriant branches and bright red fruits on it, much like a peach tree. The peach tree grows on the slope of a low mountain, and it looks a bit shabby alone.

peach?

Tree?

There are trees? Shen Cong asked three times in a row, very surprised.

It is obviously incredible that the doomsday storm did not destroy the vegetation on the earth.

Putting down the binoculars, Shen Cong stopped talking, and directly drove the King Kong towards the low mountain. Ten minutes later, it stopped at the bottom of the low mountain slope. After stopping, King Kong was less than a hundred meters away from the peach tree on the slope. Shen Cong didn't get out of the car in a hurry, there must be something strange about a single peach tree growing here.

Looking carefully through the telescope, Shen Cong couldn't help frowning.

This peach tree doesn't have many fruits, about twenty or thirty of them are bright red, and each one is bigger than ordinary fairy peaches, like a baby's head. What made Shen Cong frown was that in the open space under the peach tree, there were several corpses of animals lying on the ground. They had already decayed, and the bones of the chest and abdomen were exposed.

Looking at the shapes, there are monkeys, wild boars, and snakes. The scene is a bit weird.

Shen Cong held the binoculars and continued to observe, while guessing the reason why the animal corpses appeared under the peach tree, and the reason why the peach tree survived.

Why the peach tree survived is rather difficult to guess.

Animal carcasses may have been attracted by the peach tree, and then fought each other to death, or the peach tree was the killer. A tree killed a group of animals. Before the end of the world, Shen Cong wouldn't even think about it, but in the end of the day, the changes brought about by the activity are too great, and nothing is impossible.

Waited for ten minutes.

There was no movement, only the leaves of the peach trees swaying gently in the breeze.

Shen Cong felt that he could try to go down to the peach tree and observe it closely... He first picked up the slingshot and shot the animal's carcass and the branches of the peach tree to test his reaction.

Nothing happened.

So put on the Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor, put on the weapon, and jumped off the King Kong.

He was not in a hurry to approach, but prepared to climb over the small hill, climb to the top of the dwarf mountain, stand high and look far, and carefully observe the surroundings.

After five minutes, reach the top of the mountain.

The surroundings are unobstructed, bare rocks, and farther away are undulating rocky mountains. It seems that in this area, only this peach tree exudes vitality.

There is no movement on the ground, the surface is solid rock, and the danger is reduced.

With doubts and caution, Shen Cong cautiously leaned into the peach tree. From a long distance away, the stench of animal corpses came to his nostrils. Shen Cong frowned, didn't care, and walked slowly under the peach tree. He was afraid that the peach tree would be a moving man-eating tree, so he stabbed the trunk with a javelin with fangs first.

Clang, clang, clang!

The sound is very weird, like the collision between stones, or the collision between metals.

Seeing that the peach tree did not show signs of a man-eating tree rising, Shen Cong avoided the animal corpses and touched the trunk. The trunk is very cold, exuding bursts of active radiation—this peach tree has indeed mutated. This is not surprising, it is basically impossible to have a slight chance of survival without mutation.

The bark is very hard, and it feels like touching metal... It seems that the bark has a metallic gradient, like the active core of an animal?

Immediately afterwards, Shen Cong discovered that the leaves also had a slight metallic gradient. When the branches were shaken, a large number of leaves made a crisp sound.

Could it be that the mutated peach tree will grow into a metal peach tree? Shen Cong guessed that activity and metal are closely related.

His first reaction was to have such an association.

The trunks and leaves all showed signs of metallic gradients, but Shen Cong did not find such gradients on the mutated peaches the size of babies' heads. There was only strong active radiation, and the radiated magnetic field strength far exceeded Shen Cong's activity from mutant animals. core perception.

This is a good thing, and those rich in activity are good things, but I don't know if it can be eaten or not, and whether it is toxic.

Looking at the mutated peach in his hand, and then at the rotting corpse lying on the ground, Shen Cong felt that this peach was absolutely dishonest. There was a high probability that these animals were poisoned to death after eating the peach.

thinking.

Shen Cong bent down and came to a monkey corpse, enduring the stench, and fiddled with it a few times with his fangs and dagger.

This is like a mutated monkey, because the body shape has changed, and the four canine teeth on the mouth are huge, which seem to be the active core. It's just that there is no trace of activity on this corpse, which may be because it has been dead for a long time. Inadvertently, Shen Cong turned the monkey corpse over with a dagger.

Turning over, he suddenly found something that made his scalp tingle.

I saw dense white silk threads growing out of the place where the monkey's corpse lay before, inserted into the monkey's rotten fur.

This is the root of a plant.

Shen Cong directly aimed at the mutated peach tree, there was only one plant here. I used a sapper to shovel away the rocky powdery soil. Sure enough, the white silky roots passed through the shallow soil, bypassed the rock gaps, and extended to the roots of the peach tree.

The mutated peach tree is using this method to absorb the activity of animals!

peach.

animal.

root.

peach.

Shen Cong instantly came up with a brain-inducing deduction - the peach tree used peaches rich in activity to attract mutated animals to eat the peaches, and then the peaches poisoned the mutated animals to death, thus becoming the fertilizer for the peach tree.

He picked up the carcasses of several other mutated animals one by one, and there were white silky roots protruding from the peach trees underneath.

If this is the case, the peach cannot be eaten. After the mutated animals ate it, they all died within three meters of the peach tree. Obviously, the poison is very strong.

Shen Cong looked at the huge heart in his hand with some pity. The extremely rich active radiation hooked people to death.

He is currently lacking in activity, and the activity of the King Kong has dropped several times, but he has not been able to rush up, and the activity enhancements exchanged for him are not so much. As a result, his current physical fitness is still maintained at two levels, and his progress is not obvious. .

If it can be preserved for a long time, it can be used as a disguised poison... Shen Cong thought out of his mind, and quickly thought of the suspected prehistoric giant crocodile that bullied him back then.

If they encounter it again, throwing a few poisonous peaches in the past, I am afraid that the rest will be the link of collecting the corpses.

Regrets are regrets, Shen Cong still decided to pick off all the poisonous peaches. The poisonous peach is just his speculation, and it cannot be characterized until it is determined by research; even if it is classified as highly poisonous, it will still have a role to play, and it can be regarded as a good thing.

However, Shen Cong didn't pick it right away. He planned to study the mutated peach tree for a period of time. It was rare to meet a surviving plant. This was a rare opportunity to acquire more knowledge about the activity.

Kacha, Shen Cong cut off a branch of the mutated peach tree with his fangs and dagger; then he used an engineering shovel to dig out a section of silky root; holding the poisonous peach, branch, and root, he returned to the King Kong carriage inside.

Research begins.

First cut a small piece of poisonous peach pulp, put it in a glass bottle, and then drew a blowfly from the gauze, and shut it in the glass bottle.

Blowflies waiting to devour the pulp, die or not.

Toxicity experiment of poisonous peaches, the first test starts.
