Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 1491: Chapter 621: Mutated Plants Tools_2

Hearing Wang Tao’s compliments, Xiang Bo didn’t act modest, and instead took the opportunity to educate Wang Tao and others:

“Haha, this is also a feature of our base – whether it’s humans or mutated plants, they coexist very well and even help each other! Take these ‘Leaf Cars’ for example, they require special fertilizer or their evolution is quite slow, and we are the only ones who can prepare this waste material. So we use the fertilizer as a bargaining chip to invite them to transport survivors for us…”

“Then there’s that huge mushroom structure. We transported the mushroom back during the night. It was nearly frozen to death, but its spores hadn’t had a chance to spread, and even they were frozen. We promised to help spread its spores, and to thank us, it agreed to let us hollow out its body before it died. After its death, its body would harden, and we wouldn’t have time to hollow it out in an instant… And the reason for using this mushroom to build houses is because living inside makes one less easily tired. Our City Hall is actually a big mushroom…”

“Oh right, there are also those mutated bamboos, they emit a special fragrance. The smell attracts certain parasites which are initially undetectable. By the time they are discovered, it’s already too late – the parasites and bamboos have a symbiotic relationship, if the parasites die, the bamboos will too. But if the parasites don’t die, they will continue absorbing the nutrients from the bamboos, causing them to slowly wither. So we promise to help them find parasites during bamboo shoot season, ensuring the parasites do not survive. In return, they grow into forms suitable for our houses to reside in. Since the bamboo fragrance is very pleasant and, other than that specific kind of parasite, snakes, bugs, mice, and ants all despise this scent, it’s only harmful to the mutated bamboos but actually quite beneficial for humans! Therefore houses built by them don’t have to worry about poisonous insects. You know, in this place, there are a lot of toxic insects…”

“…”

Listening to Xiang Bo’s introduction, Wang Tao and his companions exchanged glances, seemingly recognizing a shared sentiment in each other’s eyes – impressive.

Perhaps this is “life finding its own way.” With the help of these bamboo plants, Hongfeng Base could be quickly constructed and also provide convenience for the survivors within the base, resulting in a win-win for both sides.
