Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL) - Chapter 427

Chapter 427: Chapter 426: Encounter with the conscious sunflower
The entrance was overgrown with weeds because the landscaping they had done was destroyed, probably by water, as the soil and plants were scattered around. This left a lot of space for weeds to grow.

After three meters, the walkway was finally clear again. Even though a lot of plants had already grown and were reaching the walkway, at least it was passable.

Even though the weather was very hot, the plants were still thriving because there were many trees planted at the sides, which shaded the plants from too much sunlight.

Luciel carefully walked around to observe the plants, so his speed of exploring the botanical garden was very slow.

After walking for twenty minutes, he actually managed to see a plant that would likely awaken consciousness. He carefully dug it out and put it in the small plastic pot that he had. He would transfer it later into a better pot.

This time, he got a small succulent plant. There were a lot of succulent plants around it, but it was the only one that could awaken its consciousness.

As for the ability it might develop, he had no guesses, because succulent plants could develop various abilities, but most of them would likely develop auxiliary abilities, which weren’t suitable for fighting upfront like Thorn, who could enhance its thorns and directly kill zombies with them.

After getting the succulent plant, he continued walking and actually found a very useful plant, though its use was very different from the vine he had.

The plant he found this time was a type of flowering plant that wasn’t useful for dealing with zombies, but its properties were very suitable for dealing with humans and probably mutant animals.

It was a flower that, as long as he enhanced its growth trajectory as he wanted, could become very useful in knocking out humans and mutant animals.

Its flower could emit a powerful sleeping drug as long as Luciel could enhance it properly.

After getting the flower, Luciel continued walking but didn’t find anything else useful, so he just continued until he met Nichole with five other members with her.

The botanical garden was actually wide because Luciel walked for forty minutes before finally meeting Nichole’s group, who had apparently started exploring the central area of the botanical garden.

When Luciel met them, he saw that Nichole was actually holding another succulent plant that would be conscious later.

“Nice harvest,” Luciel commented.

“Yes, I think I’m very lucky today,” Nichole said while grinning, and then added, “Boss, your luck is also very good. You actually managed to get two plants in addition to the ones you already have.”

“Yeah, have you met Jane’s team yet?”

“Not yet,” Nichole said while shaking her head.

“Then let’s go and explore the places in our areas that we haven’t finished yet.”

Even though he had started exploring on the right side, he had only managed to explore the very corner, so there were still more things to discover on that side of the botanical garden.

Nichole agreed with him, so they began walking separately. But before they could go far, they suddenly heard a commotion on the left side of the botanical garden.

They heard the sound of fighting, so they immediately headed toward it to see what was going on.

As they ran toward the noise, they heard Nathan cursing loudly, “What the f*ck is this!”

Then they saw a visible fire in the distance, rising high into the air, which was obviously an attack used by Nathan.

When they arrived, Luciel and the others saw that Nathan and his team were fighting a conscious plant.

The plant was obviously a sunflower, but it was larger than a normal sunflower and could actually move.

The sunflower was launching its seeds, and the seeds it fired immediately began to grow at a rapid pace, also launching sunflower seeds after growing enough.

Even scarier, the sunflower seeds thrown at the people were also germinating just like the ones that had landed on the ground.

Mark, Seth, and Eric were already surrounded by many sunflowers, and the sunflowers that grew on them continued attacking with sunflower seeds.

That’s why, in a short time, they were already covered with numerous sunflowers, even though they were cutting down the plants around them using their weapons and abilities.

But the number of sunflowers and the seeds they launched was overwhelming.

Fortunately, the sunflower seeds weren’t parasitic or bloodsucking. Luciel could see that even though the three were covered with many sunflowers, they didn’t have any wounds, and their complexion was still fine.

Luciel observed that the sunflower seeds germinated as soon as they touched a hard surface.While still in the air, the seeds showed no changes, but once they landed on the ground or on a person’s body—even if clothed—they would begin to grow.

That’s why there were already so many sunflowers around them.

Jane and Nathan weren’t affected because Jane used her vines, enlarging them to create a cover.

Once there were enough sunflowers in the vines, she would discard them far away or let Nathan burn them.

Nathan was also free from the sunflower attacks because his ability was very potent, and he burned every sunflower seed thrown at him.

He also burned nearby sunflowers around the others, but he couldn’t reach the ones closest to Mark and the others without risking harm to them.

Nichole and the others began helping as soon as they arrived. Luciel, still observing and noting the sunflowers’ weakness, reminded them, “The seeds germinate as soon as they touch a hard surface. Those with wind abilities can catch them, and those with fire abilities can burn them.”

Those who heard him immediately reacted. Nate and Eric used their wind abilities to lift the seeds thrown at them and pushed them toward Nathan and Raffy, who immediately burned the seeds as soon as they got near.

They continued this process until all the smaller sunflowers had used their seeds and began to wilt.
