Jin Xuyan focused his mind and used his energy to search for the plant. But aside from a green-colored energy and his own black energy, there was nothing else in Zhou Huajian's body.
Fearing he might harm him instead, Jin Xuyan could only retract his energy and shake his head. "I don't know."
While the two of them were baffled and worried, Zhou Huajian lost consciousness.
At that moment, a small dot of light green energy swam through his veins, slowly making its way to his brain. The moment it entered, the energy dissolved and merged with the dark green energy swirling inside.
The merging process took less than five minutes. When the energy fully merged, a small sunflower popped out from Zhou Huajian's head.
While he remained unaware of this, Jiao Lizhi and the Phantom Team were shocked. Due to Zhou Huajian's condition, they decided to postpone their schedule and check on him first.
They planned to carry him to the car and wait for him to wake up. But before they could move him, they saw a small sunflower growing on top of his head.
"This—will Brother Huajian become a plant?" Xiao Qi asked in disbelief.
Jiao Lizhi looked thoughtfully at the small sunflower. If she remembered correctly, this sunflower was the mutated plant that had killed numerous mercenaries in her previous life—one of the overlords of Lin'an Zombie City.
It had become an overlord due to its high regeneration ability, powerful attacks, and, most terrifying of all, its ability to absorb others' energy and turn it into its own. By the fourth year of the apocalypse, it had already reached level six.
Now, seeing the overlord swaying atop Zhou Huajian's head cutely, she felt conflicted. Her rebirth had changed too many things—both the ones she actively altered and those indirectly affected by her actions.
As she stared at the sunflower, an idea flashed through her mind. She reached out and created a ball of water.
The moment the sunflower noticed the water, it stretched out its leaves. Using its small leaves, it hugged the water ball and dipped its flower head into it.
As soon as the sunflower finished drinking, Zhou Huajian frowned and slowly opened his eyes. The sunflower bent its stalk to look at his face. Seeing that he had awakened, it disappeared into his head and reappeared on his shoulder.
When Zhou Huajian regained his senses, he noticed his team looking at him with complicated expressions. He pushed himself up and asked hoarsely, "What's wrong with me?"
Xiao Qi pointed at his shoulder and said, "Brother Huajian, you seem to have become a potted plant."
Hearing this, Zhou Huajian frowned and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not saying nonsense—you have a sunflower on your shoulder," Xiao Qi replied.
Turning his head, Zhou Huajian's gaze landed on the small sunflower on his shoulder. Lowering his eyes, he realized that the sunflower was growing out of his body.
