The Frenzy Of Evolution Chapter 549: Giant Eucalyptus
The roots of plants grow in the ground to absorb nutrients from the soil to survive, but since the end of the day and the emergence of viruses, all things in the world have been given the key to evolution. The weak grass before the apocalypse will also grow into a bloodthirsty plant variant.
As for this strange plant growing in a small town, it was a small eucalyptus tree that was only less than three years old before the end of the world.
Eucalyptus grows very fast, and the roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil at a speed that ordinary plants cannot be invincible. It is this kind of plant that grows fast and is also harmful to the environment. When the growth reaches a certain point, it is cut off and sold.
Although the money made by planting trees and selling wood in this way is not much, the growth time of eucalyptus is short, and it can grow taller than other trees in just a few years. Growing magical plants is profitable.
The local residents who understood this kind of interest soon planted eucalyptus on a large area, but as the area expanded, the moisture of the land gradually decreased, and even the height of the groundwater was affected.
A few months before the apocalypse, a house in the town even collapsed, causing one death and three injuries. It was this accident that made the town government understand the dangers of over-planting eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus forests are being cut down substantially.
The eucalyptus forest, which originally occupied 30 percent of the town's territory, was cut down to 2 percent in just one week.
After the virus came, the eucalyptus has evolved, but this evolution is only limited to the intelligence of a normal three-year-old human, but this is enough for it.
Looking at the 'similars' who have been cut down and only stumps are left, the hatred of an alien species for the same kind of slaughter appears in the heart of the mutant eucalyptus. There are not many armed forces in this small town, only one policeman There were only twenty people in the bureau, from the director to the chores. When the virus broke out, most of them were still asleep and turned into bloodthirsty zombies.
Six of the twenty police officers became the original zombies of the first generation. Before the rest of the police officers rushed back to the police station to fight with weapons, the entire small town fell in just one night.
The zombies walking on the streets and the mutant beasts wandering in the fields roared all the time, while the remaining survivors hid in their houses and did not dare to come out. The traces of time have been completely lost, but a large number of monsters have appeared.
Such a mutant eucalyptus tree with only the wisdom of a child suddenly lost its target, but this did not reduce its revenge.
The mutant eucalyptus does not have the ability to move, nor the ability to transform into a human form. It is still a plant, but a eucalyptus with intelligence and enhanced ability to absorb water.
In the next time, the eucalyptus continuously absorbs the surrounding water. It took two weeks before evolution to absorb the nutrients and water. Now it can be done in just one day. And the branches have been rapidly expanded. It was originally just a small eucalyptus tree that had grown for several years. In just two months, it occupied a small area of the small town, and even the speed of spread is still increasing. It grows and mutates like a cancer cell.
At this time, the mutant eucalyptus, which was not satisfied with the scarce nutrients and water in the ground, turned its absorption target to those walking monsters on the ground.
Zombies can still be dealt with. They are sensitive to sound, but have no wisdom, so Eucalyptus can still use some simple methods to 'hook' the zombies to enter their own absorption range.
But those mutant beasts with powerful abilities can't absorb it. Zombies are obviously redundant mutant beasts in number, but the nutrition and energy in a mutant beast are five times that of a human being, which means that it takes five Only a zombie is worth absorbing a mutant beast.
The mutant beasts are also favored by the virus in the apocalypse. They have the same wisdom as the mutant eucalyptus. There are only two ways to absorb them. After defeating it and absorbing it, it is obvious that this is almost impossible. Even the simplest mutant beast has evolved its flying qualities on the claw blade, and it can cut off the root of the tree with just one grab. If you are unlucky, you will even attract more mutant beasts to attack you, which is an unwise choice.
All mutant eucalyptus chose the second method, planting their mutant seeds in the zombies that had been sucked by themselves, and letting the zombies replace themselves as attackers.
A zombie may not be the opponent of a mutant beast, but five, ten, twenty, this is another concept. The suppression of the number soon allowed the mutant eucalyptus to get the body of the first mutant beast. nutrients and moisture, while also getting an unexpected result—a gene nucleus.
There is a huge amount of energy hidden in this core, but after absorbing a gene core, the intelligence of the mutant eucalyptus has been improved, and it is no longer at the level of a three-year-old child.
Design traps, direct zombie attacks, and cultivate plant zombies and plant mutants.
In three years, the eucalyptus occupied the entire town, controlled all the zombies and mutant beasts, and occupied them as their own. At this time, there were no other 'foreign objects', and everything was subject to Everything under his control is his part, which makes the revenge of the mutant eucalyptus gradually calm down.
But at the same time, the eucalyptus has to maintain its own survival. During the day, let the plant zombies and plant mutants go out for photosynthesis, and at night, return to the house and let its roots stick out from the ground to absorb it.
The small town is surrounded by mountains, but there is only one railway and road outside. Except for a few murky zombies and mutant beasts running in from time to time, the whole small town is still very peaceful.
This strange peace was completely broken until Duan Fei's arrival.
I wanted to design a trap to lure Duan Fei, but what I didn't expect was a hellfire phoenix attacked directly. The appearance of the abnormally high hellfire directly burned to death a thick and strong one hidden under the street. At this time, he realized that Duan Fei was not a normal prey, and the mutant eucalyptus quickly changed his 'battle strategy'.
From sneak attack to group attack of zombie swarms, but it will soon be discovered that this zombie swarm attack is actually adding ashes.
