Professor Wang Zhi and Wang Lin took a closer look and found that there were indeed some "foreign objects" on the spiral patterns on the cave wall. In order to see more carefully, Wang Lin shined a flashlight. In the bright light of the flashlight, Climbing

Scattered "sparse" on the cave wall

"Foreign objects" are not just vines like ivy. The vines are as thick as an adult's little finger and are covered with a layer of sharp thorns. The leaves are as fat as human ears. There are no flowers, but there are "fruits" and the meat is as whistling as

Fruit of the human ear.

The unknown plant in the bottomless abyss appeared at a depth of 138 meters from the entrance of the cave, instead of the depth of more than 200 meters seen decades ago. Wang Lin did not find it strange. After all, plants can grow. Let Wang Lin

What I find strange is that the color of the unknown plant has changed. The last time I saw it, it was black.

, the canes are black, the leaves are black, and the ear-shaped fruits are also black, and they are so black and shiny, giving people a very vital feeling. But now, the nameless plant in the bottomless abyss he saw is not black.

Instead, it is dry yellow, and its color almost blends in with the color of the cave wall.

After Professor Wang Zhi stabilized himself, regardless of his bleeding nose, he turned on his flashlight and shined it on an unknown plant. Then the light followed the path of the plant upstream. He found that the plant was along the path of the plant.

The threads of the cave spiral upward, and even dozens of meters higher you cannot see the end of a single plant.

The reason why the three of them didn't see the existence of the unknown plant just now was because the unknown plant was too sparse, with only a few at a depth of 100 meters, and they still grew against the threads on the cave wall. In addition, the color of the unknown plant

It has changed, from black to a withered yellow color, similar to the color of the cave wall, which is very protective.

Professor Wang Zhi asked Wang Lin: "Brother Wang, is this the plant you saw before? I'll go, it's really scary."

"Probably not!" Erdan said, "Brother Wang said that the plants he saw last time were black plants, but the plants in front of us are black. They are withered yellow, just like withered vegetation in the desert.

.”

"Strange, the appearance is the same, why has the color changed? Could it be that it has evolved?" Wang Lin gave his own uncertain opinion.

Erdan chuckled, "Evolve a ball, I think this thing is dead." As he said that, he ignored Wang Lin's previous advice, reached out and pulled an ear-shaped "fruit" from the unknown plant on the sole of his foot.

"Come down."

Brother Wang Lin was startled and said quickly: "Don't crush it, the poisonous gas inside will make people faint. If you are infected by the virus inside, you will become a zombie!"

Wang Lin's words were enough to scare children. He wanted to scare Li Erdan, so he was joking.

Erdan put the ear-shaped fruit of an unknown plant, which was half the size of his palm, and weighed it a few times in his gloved hands, barely feeling the weight. He said disdainfully: "The legendary meat is coming, I

It depends on how dry it actually is!"

If the fruit was fleshy, Erdan wouldn't be able to feel the weight, and the fruit wouldn't deform when he weighed it. Then, he clenched his fist suddenly, and after a few crunching sounds, he opened his fist again.

, the ear-shaped fruit disappeared, replaced by crushed wood.

Brother Wang Lin stared blankly and stopped talking, but Professor Wang Zhi exclaimed in shock: "I'll go, it's really dry!"

Unable to resist his curiosity, Professor Wang Zhi also tore off a few leaves and ear-shaped fruits of unknown plants from the cave wall, and crushed them all with his hands.

"Maybe it was killed by drying." Wang Lin said, "It's a good thing that the unknown plant is dead, so there will be fewer obstacles for us to move forward."

Professor Wang Zhi approached an unknown plant, shined a spotlight on the plant's stem, shook his head and said, "It's dead, maybe!"

"Then how do you think you died?" Brother Wang Lin said in a sinister tone.

"For dry plants, the leaves usually dry up first, and dry up in pieces, and the trunk will also be cracked or shrunk. But look at this unknown rattan plant. It is indeed dry enough, but the leaves and

There are darker white spots on the canes, and there are small tumor-like bumps on the canes and ear-shaped fruits." Professor Wang Zhi analyzed it, but did not tell the results.

Erdan couldn't wait to ask, "What happens next?"

"Death from infection with the virus." Professor Wang Zhi.

Brother Wang Lin almost stopped laughing and said: "The Lop Nur virus is extracted from unknown plants. Even if you don't tell me, I know there are viruses in the plants."

Professor Wang Zhi shook his head again, "According to the information you showed me, there are no white spots or tumor-like bumps on the unknown plant. This shows that the Lop Nur virus and the unknown plant are a pair of symbiotic entities, living in dependence on each other. Now the plant is dead.

, I think it was infected with another unknown virus besides the Lop Nur plant virus. The unknown virus may have killed Lop Nur first.

Povirus, and then the unknown plant dies, perhaps directly infecting the unknown plant to death. As for whether this is the real situation, I have to take some samples back and find a botanist to study it." As he said, Wang

Professor Zhi pulled out a sharp knife from his belt and began to take samples from the dead unknown plants.

While Professor Wang Zhi was taking samples, Erdan frowned and looked down the cave from time to time. He suddenly said to Wang Lin: "Brother Wang, we haven't encountered any obstacles so far. Don't you think this is strange? We have always said

Where are the lively man-eating lizards? Where are the man-eating zombies?”

"This is also a strange point for me. Since the man-eating lizards and zombies will not appear, we hope that they will not appear before we complete the task, so as to save us from having to fight." Wang Lin said with a wry smile, pointing to the city wall on the cave wall.

There were small pits with curved lines, and then he said: "Look at these small pits, most of them are man-eating lizards and zombies crawling out. If they appear rashly now and attack us, we will be very passive."

Erdan nodded, hoping not to encounter man-eating lizards and zombies. Although he was equipped with explosives, they were not very useful in a cave! Then he looked at Professor Wang Zhi and asked:

"Professor Wang, have you taken the samples? What is there to study about this dead thing? The virus is probably dead too. We are in a hurry now, so don't waste any more time."

"What do you know, kid? These are all treasures. After Lop Nur virus was made into genetic reagents, no antidote has been found. Once people are infected, they can only turn into zombies and then die. If this plant contains Lop Nur virus

Nemesis, the antidote is here."
