Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286 -286 Mutual Learning

Mutated Plants?

Upon hearing Su Jin’s words, everyone inside the vehicle grew serious.

Although Liang Jiuhui and others had not yet encountered mutated plants, a guard squad that had suffered heavy losses before mentioned that they were overwhelmed by a type of plant which could entangle a person and couldn’t be cut loose, resulting in severe casualties during their fight with zombies.

Moreover, teams that had gone out on missions these past few days also reported that not only had there been an increase in mutated zombies, but even previously common plants had begun to exhibit man-eating tendencies.

“Xiao Jin, could it be mutant animals?” Lin Tianzhen asked.

“The likelihood of mutated plants is higher because if it were mutant animals, this place wouldn’t be this clean, not even bones would be left,” Su Jin replied.

...

So that was it, Lin Tianzhen realized.

“Everyone, be extra careful,”

After the bus came to a stop, Lu Hao reminded everyone.

One by one, the group got off the vehicle, with Xiao Liu the driver following suit. Although he was Liang Jiuhui’s driver, due to often accompanying Liang Jiuhui, he had also developed a knack for killing zombies.

After clearing the zombies surrounding the vehicle, the group proceeded along the hospital’s pedestrian pathway.

The hospital indeed had plenty of green belts, with not only many old trees but also lawns that seemed to have been yellowing for a long time.

“Could it be these trees that are the problem?” Lin Cheng looked up and said.

Su Jin shook her head; based on her understanding, mutated trees had territorial awareness, meaning that when a person or zombie entered their territory, they would attack. But at the moment, they were all standing under this tree without any attack happening.

Just as everyone was doubting the trees, Su Jin’s attention was drawn to the stairs leading to the second-floor lobby of the hospital ahead.

The lobby of this hospital was on the second floor, and the stairs leading to it were wide and long, divided in the middle by a flowerbed that separated the left and right sides. The plants in the flowerbed looked lush, and they were blooming with purplish-red flowers.

“Such beautiful flowers,”

Lin Tianzhen couldn’t help but exclaim, reminding her how long it had been since she had seen fresh flowers after the apocalypse started.

“This flower is called Rhododendron ‘Lei’, also known as Bougainvillea. It’s very hardy, and autumn is just the right season for it to bloom. I used to have several varieties on my balcony,” boasted Lu Guanhai, a real aficionado when it came to gardening.

“Dad, you’d better keep away from it,”

Su Jin pulled Lu Guanhai back from the edge of the flowerbed.

“Is it a mutated plant?”

To get to the pharmacy on the first floor, they had to go through this lobby. Seeing everyone ready, Guan Hong immediately used his Metal Element Ability to open the shutter door. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
