Epoch of Twilight

As time passed, the sun became hotter and hotter, but Chen Jiayi remained exposed to the scorching sun and stood still, as if completely petrified.

It wasn't until Wang Shishi called out tentatively that her body moved suddenly, as if she came alive all of a sudden.

She was stunned for a while, then quickly turned around, it was a moss-covered face, the five senses on the face had been blurred, only a pair of bright and dark eyes, looking at everyone in surprise.

Everyone took a step back subconsciously, with a hint of fear on their faces, including the partners who came with her, Deng Chao and Zhong Chuqiang.

Chen Jiayi's bright eyes dimmed instantly, and a trace of inferiority and worry flashed in her heart.

Luo Yuan took Chen Jiayi's expression and movements into his eyes, and he was slightly relieved. Her reaction was normal, which meant that she hadn't lost her sanity, which was very different from a mutant.

"How do you feel now?"

"My whole body is warm and comfortable, but I'm a little thirsty!" Seeing Luo Yuan's question, Chen Jiayi said hastily.

In front of Luo Yuan, she didn't dare to lie, and said honestly, but she was a little flustered, she had seen what happened to Chen Xianfeng, would it be her turn now, she had already been abandoned once, and she didn't want to be abandoned again throw away once.

Appears to be capable of photosynthesis. Luo Yuan thought to himself, and turned to Wang Shishi and said, "Go get a glass of water."

Wang Shishi responded, and hurried to get water!

He turned around and faced Chen Jiayi again. At her age, she still can't hide her emotions, and everything is shown on her face. Seeing the worry and fear on her face, he said gently: "Don't be afraid, I just understand Tell me about your situation."

Seeing Chen Jiayi's expression softened, Luo Yuan continued to ask: "Can you take these things back?"

"Is it the moss on my body?" She asked in a daze, she didn't hesitate at all, seeing Luo Yuan nodding, she closed her eyes, and soon all the moss was taken back, revealing her light green skin.

Her figure became a little thinner, obviously the parasite consumed a certain amount of her fat, but what attracted the most attention was her skin. At this time, her skin became extremely smooth, so that it was slightly reflective in the sun.

Coupled with that peculiar color, the whole person exudes a mysterious charm, which made Luo Yuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.

A flash of surprise flashed in his heart. This was the first time he saw this phenomenon. After being parasitized by creatures, he did not die, and also formed a symbiotic phenomenon. Perhaps only plants can be so gentle.

Now it depends on whether it is contagious, he doesn't want to walk around with green skin. Luo Yuan tried to use a "detection technique", but the result of the detection was still quite rigid, the information was exactly the same as that of a normal woman, so he could only use an indirect method.

"Okay, now you can release the moss again." Luo Yuan said.

Chen Jiayi gave an obedient "Yes", and after a while, her body was covered with moss again. She seemed to like this state very much, and her eyes were a little bright.

"Give me some moss!" Luo Yuan said.

Chen Jiayi didn't refuse, and pulled out a bunch of moss with pain, as if stimulated, a large piece of moss nearby quickly retracted into the body, and it took a while before it reappeared.

Luo Yuan remained cautious and didn't pick it up, let her put it on the ground, and then used the identification technique:

"Green parasitic moss;"

"Rarity: Light Blue Level;"

"Weight: 3g;"

"Status: parasitized;"

"Additional capabilities: none;"

"Evaluation: This is a rare parasite that can survive alone, and can also achieve a perfect symbiosis with some special blood type species, and can slightly improve the main attribute of the host. After parasitizing, the green parasitic moss loses the ability to parasitize again. until the host dies."

When he saw that he had no more parasitic ability, he looked at Chen Jiayi without much guard.

Seeing that Luo Yuan was about to touch the clump of moss, Huang Jiahui quickly stopped her and said, "Don't touch it."

"It's okay!" Luo Yuan waved his hand. He picked up the moss and rubbed it lightly. The moss still kept a lot of vitality. Whenever it was stimulated, it would immediately curl up into a ball.

"Don't worry, I have some ability to identify biological characteristics. After this thing parasitizes, it has no ability to parasitize again, and it doesn't have much effect on her personality. Except for the weird skin color, it's a good thing."

In fact, many people knew that Luo Yuan had this ability, but they hadn't confirmed it. Seeing him say that now, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Among all the people, Chen Jiayi was the most excited. She had been worried before, like a prisoner who stepped into the trial seat. Now she finally heard the judge acquitted herself, and the boulder hanging in her heart fell down. She covered her mouth and wept !

…………

After her mood stabilized, Luo Yuan then tested Chen Jiayi's strength, agility and other related tests. Finally, in order to test her self-healing ability, with her consent, she made a small cut on her forearm.

He found that her strength and agility after parasitism were already comparable to Huang Jiahui's, but considering that she was twelve years old and far from an adult, such an improvement was already obvious.

But what surprised Luo Yuan the most was her self-healing and skin defense ability. When the skin was cut open, he could clearly feel the resistance of the knife. He found that under her skin was a dense network-like layer. Shaped light green filaments, the gaps between the filaments are almost invisible to the naked eye, and are closely connected with the bottom layer of the skin.

This kind of defense is not even comparable to him.

What is even more surprising is that after the wound was cut, she did not bleed much. As soon as the knife was removed, countless filaments in the skin began to squirm and stick together. When he wiped off the blood on his arm half a minute later, he found that Her wound has disappeared, leaving only a shallow bloodstain.

This self-healing ability is almost comparable to that of Lin Xiaoji. Luo Yuan subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiaoji who was watching, and found that his face had turned dark.

However, Luo Yuan also knew that this kind of self-healing was an illusion. It was essentially just a forced closure of the wound, which was completely incomparable with real self-healing.

But in any case, this parasitic effect is extremely powerful, and the most important thing is that the parasitic moss is only at the light blue level, with great potential for improvement. For ordinary people, once parasitic, it can be compared to ordinary evolutionaries.

Of course, you have to endure the green skin and the strange eyes from others.

However, when Luo Yuan proposed to let everyone try parasitism, few people would accept it. But in fact, it was beyond his expectation. Not to mention the few soldiers who had experienced the cruel battlefield, even Huang Jiahui and Cao Lin were a little moved.

He has seriously underestimated the desire of ordinary people for power. In this cruel end of the world, the survival pressure and mental depression of ordinary people are beyond his imagination. In this cruel environment, no one cares about the color of their skin Such twigs and leaves, as long as they are strong, even if they become a monster, as long as they don't lose their minds, there are probably many people around.

But what is disappointing is that parasitism is not so easy. Even if some people cut the wound themselves, it is useless to stuff the parasitic moss into the wound, and quickly escape in disgust.

Judging from the identification technique, this seems to require a certain rare blood type.

…………

Yesterday's storm did not affect the temperature change. At noon, the temperature was still above 50 degrees, and the lush forest that had been moistened by water all night was undergoing intense transpiration under the high temperature. The air is extremely distorted, making people feel like they are in an illusion.

However, such a high temperature made Chen Jiayi happy. She sat directly under the scorching sun without moving a muscle. From the test sitting at 9:00 in the morning until now, except for being thirsty and drinking a few times, she didn't even eat lunch.

Perhaps it was a side effect of the parasitic moss, which gave her the illusion that she was a plant, and she could easily sit for hours unless someone woke her up.

Under such a high temperature, the firewood would have dried out before noon. All the dry firewood was moved into the grotto and piled up on a hill. Luo Yuan took out the lighter and lit the fluffy dry grass used to ignite the fire.

The fire soon burned blazingly, and the flames rushed directly to the top of the grotto, and even the door had flames.

The moss affected by the flames was instantly burned to death.

The moss at the edge sensed the danger, and quickly compressed into a thin layer, clinging to the ground, squirming towards the shady corner like running water, as if wanting to escape the high temperature here.

But their moving speed was obviously too slow, and after a while, the surface became dry and yellow, and completely lost their vitality!

During this process, Chen Jiayi remained motionless and did not respond.
