Chapter 87: gluttonous ghost plant withered
So Vicky's group has to be careful when moving and watch out for the attacks of the humans along with the monsters.
They moved in quickly and Vicky was ruthless to run over the people that tried to obstruct their way with malicious motives.
After crushing few people with the car they no longer dared to stand in front of the car instead they threw rocks at the car.
Vicky would not sit idly by and shot the people with guns killing them directly.
In these apocalyptic times, human life is not as valuable as a car that can let him survive and move around.
Vicky would not care how many people died.
His only focus is himself and his loved ones.
Other than that everyone is not his concern.
Also these people are not good.
He would not harm good people intentionally, but he would definitely kill anyone that tried to cause even the slightest harm to him or his woman, no matter the reason they had.
When they came near the red fort they got off the car and Vicky took it back into his space.
Then they entered the place by foot.
Vicky has the map of red fort and where he should go.
Before the apocalypse, he got the maps and locations of all the important places that he wanted to visit to gain the special treasures and herbs.
These things are formed naturally in special places.
Finding them by searching would take a long time.
So he directly got the maps of these places to facilitate his search and easy to get what he wanted.
With the help of the map he and the girls came to the step well in the red fort.
The water in the well is not frozen and there is no snow here for some reason.
It is like this place did not have any snow fall at all.
The steps are even dry.
The water surface looked like black ice like an endless abyss.
When they got close there is nothing strange here.
But suddenly there is a strange flow in the water and immediately the black ice broke with plant vines bursting out.
Vicky directly pulled out the remains of the satellite and dropped them into the water.
The plant vines would not attack them directly but try to grab all the metal present on the people.
If there is no metal then it would try to suck the blood of the people that has iron in it.
But people can easily escape after doing some damage to the plant vines.
The plant is still small and it will not be able to lift a fully grown man.
It can still lift few kilograms.
That is the reason why he dropped the remains of the satellite into the water facilitating the plant to have easy movement.
As the plant absorbed the metal the big piece of satellite remains slowly vanished.
At the same time the water in the well also evaporated because of the heat released by the plan when it absorbed the satellite remains.
Vicky saw the real appearance of the plant under water.
There is a round ball like structure at the center from where all the plant vines have popped out of it.
That is not all.
The there are three flower on the top of the round ball which should be the gluttonous ghost flowers based on their appearance.
As the plant vines absorb the metal the three flowers glowed more and more.
But they also became transparent like ghosts.
Vicky understood that the flowers are not completely matured when the people in the previous life ate them.
He don't know what happened then but he was sure that removing the other two flowers now would cause all the nutrients to go to a single flower to let him have the ghost ability.
This should be the secret then.
The plant vines that touched the metal excreted some strange black liquid which made the water here black.
The black liquid touched the metal and the metal became like a liquid.
It appeared just like mercury and the plant vines sucked the metallic liquid as if it was water.
Vicky and the girls waited for a while looking at the situation.
It seems like he actually brought too much of metal here.
Based on his guess the first person that discovered this has died because the plant sucked him dry.
It attacked him because it was hungry.
On the other hand his brother came here with his subordinates with a car and guns.
So the plant left the tasteless humans and directly used the other things to quench its hunger.
It was unable to absorb all the metal of the satellite and the black liquid that it secreted has reached a foot tall already.
It actually left the metal and started to absorb the black liquid into its body again.
The three transparent flowers started to turn real and then they turned black.
When he used the appraisal skill he found that the flowers are maturing and can give great benefits consuming them after they matured.
This confirmed his thoughts.
In his previous life amount the three people two plucked the flowers while the third one waited till the end for the plant to absorb all the black liquid to completely mature.
The flowers in the plant base looked like three black eyes that have strange golden shine to them.
It is really creepy.
While they waited the black liquid inside the well is completely gone and the entire plant started to wither at a visible rate.
The small vines started to turn into dust and finally only the big circular center is left.
It started to turn into dead wood leaving the three flowers that are completely matured on it.
Vicky waited till the appraisal showed that they are matured and came to the plant and plucked the three flowers.
As soon as he took them the dead wood rotted away immediately...…
