In the early morning, the cold sunlight slants on the surfaces of the greenhouses, reflecting a faint golden color.
Li Chengyi gently covered a white chrysanthemum plant with soil and poured nutrient solution on it.
Now he suddenly understood why white chrysanthemums were selling so well some time ago.
Because too many people died.
No matter how high-sounding Utopia is, no matter how grand the slogan is, it cannot change the fact.
They brought death.
And it is a death that most people are unwilling to accept.
It would be okay if it was a troubled time, but if a stable country like Yi State still engages in such terrorist attacks, then it is really just for the sake of one's own ambitions, regardless of everything.
Come back to your senses.
Li Chengyi straightened up slightly, turned around and looked back.
Skittles was blowing bubble gum, wearing big headphones, leaning against the wall next to the door and shaking her head, seemingly immersed in the music.
"Why are you here again?" he asked.
"Come here and see you." Rainbow Sugar took off her headphones, "Brother Cheng, I found the person you asked me to check. He looks pretty good and works in a KTV."
"How is her family?" Li Chengyi's purpose was very simple. He couldn't help in the blind spot, so he could only help with the aftermath outside.
"I only have a younger brother. He has a rare disease and is dying in the hospital with a ventilator. He needs a lot of surgery fees." Skittles replied.
"How many?"
"Eight hundred thousand."
"Can Daxiong help reduce the cost?" Li Chengyi asked. "I will pay the cost."
"Let me ask." Rainbow Sugar put on the earphones, pressed the button above, and soon used the phone to call Daxiong.
After asking a few questions, she nodded towards Li Chengyi.
"There's no problem with her."
"Thank her for me." Li Chengyi nodded.
Help her cure her brother's illness, and the matter will be over.
"By the way, I may have to go out for a few days. Can you help me look at the botanical garden?"
"No problem. It's time for me to hire a professional assistant." Rainbow Tang raised his eyebrows. "It's best not to be the same person as us."
"I understand what you mean."
Dead-end people are very unstable and may have accidents at any time, so a stable job like a manager is not suitable.
However, there were too many secrets in the botanical garden. Li Chengyi did not trust anyone else. He could not find a suitable candidate in a short time and could only wait for the opportunity.
Thinking of this, he became more and more eager for the flower language ability to increase his trust.
If you have the ability to speak with flowers, you can control the risks in this area.
Back upstairs, Li Chengyi quickly packed up the things he needed to prepare.
He needs to think about where to go to test Jie Mao Feilian's flower scale clothing and flower language ability.
There is a celestial eye in the city, and too much movement is undesirable.
After all, he had just registered with Commissioner Jiuyi and made a guarantee.
'You still need a separate private space.'
After much deliberation, I could only go to the wilderness away from the city.
But in this era, there are too few wilderness areas. Many places are said to be wastelands, but in fact there are all kinds of people hiding in them.
Many gray people who cannot make a living in the city live in hiding in the wild.
This is how Zhong Hui's small villa came to be.
He took out his mobile phone and scratched around on the map. After searching for a long time, he found a place between Suiyang City and Qinggang City that had no signs at all.
'That's it.'
Li Chengyi took the things he had packed away, leaving behind his mobile phone and all electronic equipment, and went out quickly.
I didn’t take a taxi, I just walked slowly and leisurely towards that direction as if walking.
The botanical garden is located in the suburbs, sparsely populated and surrounded by only a few villages.
After walking a few miles, there was no trace of people around.
After making sure there was no one around, he quickly speeded up.
At first, it was just the speed of ordinary people running. As the surroundings became more and more deserted, his speed became faster and faster.
The enhancement brought by the flower scale clothing has made his physical fitness far beyond the scope of ordinary people.
Whether it's strength, speed, physique, or endurance.
Twenty minutes later.
Li Chengyi left the main road and entered a woodland on the roadside.
Going up the slope of the woodland, he gradually climbed up the small hills, but did not stop, but continued to drive farther away.
After crossing five or six hills, we stopped in a dense forest with straight trees more than ten meters high.
The woodland floor is covered with fallen dead trees.
Yellow and black fallen leaves and branches were everywhere, some were rotten, some were broken into pieces, and weeds and flowers of varying heights grew in between.
Li Chengyi casually touched a few wild flowers, most of which were the Asteraceae, dandelions, purslane and the like that he had touched before.
After confirming that there were no fresh flowers, he stood up and looked around.
The surrounding area was empty and fresh, except for a bit of dampness and coldness, and there was no sign of any human beings.
Rays of cool sunlight passed through the forest and hit the ground like leaning pillars.
'That's it.'
Li Chengyi took a deep breath and raised his hand, looking at the Flower of Evil mark on the back of his hand.
A thought came into my mind.
Silently, wisps of black shadow, like thin lines, climbed up from his feet.
Soon, the shadow completely covered his body, turning Li Chengyi into a black man.
Buzz.
A subtle strange noise suddenly spread.
Countless purple-red petals appear out of thin air all around.
The petals condensed into pieces of pitch-black armor, which fell on him one after another.
Hands, legs, torso, head.
All locations are covered with patches of scale-like armor.
In the blink of an eye, he was put on a set of pitch black and ferocious armor with tiny bone spurs protruding everywhere.
Taking out the mirror and looking at it, Li Chengyi was suddenly a little stunned.
It's not because the armor is too dark, but
His helmet is completely in the shape of a crocodile head.
From a distance, it looked like a huge and ferocious crocodile skull, with its mouth wide open and covering his entire head.
To be more precise, it should be his head, growing out from the deep throat of the crocodile head.
This weird feeling made him touch the helmet curiously.
The strange thing is that the material of the helmet is actually different from before. It is not purely hard, but mixed with toughness.
'So, are those crocodile heads really related to the shadow dragon?'
The appearance of this flower-scaled garment further confirmed Li Chengyi's guess about those crocodile heads.
He took the mirror, hung it on the tree, and then carefully looked at the new armor on his body.
There are black spikes everywhere in the armor, but these spikes are not the longer sword spikes like the gladiolus scale coat, but feel like bone spurs.
Overall, it looks a bit like the full-body heavy armor worn by ancient generals. There are small purple-red patterns on the shoulders. If you look closely, you can see that the patterns are in the shape of knotted hair and thin feathers.
The fingers on both arms were completely missing, replaced by sharp and dark claws.
Li Chengyi shook hands casually to make sure his flexibility was not affected.
He casually scratched the tree trunk next to him.
The nail of his right index finger traced across the tree surface without any obstruction, and he didn't even feel anything blocking it.
laugh.
There was a sharp scratch on the bark of the tree, and the sparse sap slowly seeped out.
'I don't know how the defense is, but the claws are very strong'
After thinking about it, Li Chengyi held it empty in his left hand, and suddenly golden light shone, and golden gladioli petals emerged, condensing into a short-handled golden sword.
A golden sword in one hand and a sharp claw in the other.
He scratched the golden sword with his claw nails.
Sigh.
A clear scratch suddenly appeared on the surface of the golden sword, and it was very deep.
'The sharpness is very strong! It can easily break through the protection of gladiolus scales.'
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the broken golden sword and used the remaining blade to point at the sharp claws.
puff.
The sound is like cutting on leather.
The claws left a shallow mark.
But as soon as the golden sword was picked up, the trace quickly disappeared, as if it was never there in the first place.
Li Chengyi was a little surprised, so he used force again and cut hard on his sharp claws.
puff!
There was another muffled sound.
There was a deeper mark on the claws, but that was it.
Picking up the golden sword, the traces disappeared again.
'The recovery speed is too fast. It's a bit like living armor!'
This is the first time Li Chengyi has seen the self-repairing flower scale clothing.
The defense strength is also higher than Gladiolus.
You must know that the gladiolus flower scale coat has evolved once, and even so, it is still not as good as Foolish Mao Feilian.
Li Chengyi was relieved, but also became more certain that ordinary flowers would only be the first choice in the future.
The strength of the flower scales of ordinary flowers is a bit different than that of these mutant flowers.
‘From now on, unless it’s a rare flower with a very powerful flower language, it’s better to use mutated flowers as the main flower as much as possible.’
Of course, he also knew that all mutated flowers were not necessarily good, after all, it was too difficult to obtain and the cycle was too long.
Weapons and strength tested.
He began to carefully appreciate the changes in his body.
After putting on the Mao Feilian flower scale clothes, he obviously felt that his whole body had become colder.
Not only the body temperature, but also the mood and mentality. Completely cooled down.
The excitement and anticipation just now were completely gone now.
It's like having a fever gone, and your body and mind feel like you've been immersed in cold water.
'Unfortunately, there is no professional equipment test data, so I don't know how much the increase will be on the body. It seems that we can only find a way in the future.'
Li Chengyi skipped this link and focused on the language of flowers.
The chill is like a ball of invisible light, instantly flowing along the cardiovascular system to the entire torso and into the limbs and head.
'Warning, once the blood-like flower language is activated, irreversible physical changes will begin. It cannot be returned or restored. Please make sure you have completely activated the flower language?'
The information about the Flower of Evil also flowed into my mind along with this chill.
Li Chengyi was stunned.
This is an active feedback prompt that Flowers of Evil rarely has.
This thing is like a semi-automatic program. It will not proactively remind you unless you touch certain places.
But now it actually issues an active prompt.
No hesitation.
'Sure!'
Li Chengyi replied thoughtfully.
Wasn't it just for this moment that he spent so much time and energy?
'Success confirmed.'
Flower of Evil feedback is completely hidden.
Instead, a large amount of chill suddenly accelerated and circulated crazily throughout Li Chengyi's body.
puff.
He couldn't bear it anymore and knelt down on one knee.
The body is getting colder and colder, as if it is frozen, and it is becoming numb and weak.
As he endured the cold, he was surrounded by woods.
The shadows in the forest were like living creatures, flowing towards him silently.
In a radius of fifty meters, all the shadows were like water, quietly branching out and converging towards Li Chengyi.
Buzz.
Faintly, the crocodile head on Li Chengyi's helmet gradually lit up with a red light in his eyes.
