Chapter 12 Do You Want to Come With Me?

Lin Mu looked at Fu Jingmo and murmured, “I don’t know…”

He recalled everything that had happened in the past two days, and the most inexplicable thing was the tree that had entered his body.

Unconsciously, his gaze fell on his own hand. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mu didn’t want to hide it from Fu Jingmo.

“That night before you came, I entered the greenhouse.”

“It hasn’t been taken care of for many years, and the plants have withered, leaving only a tree that my parents brought from Changbai Mountain. It’s very strange. It looks vibrant without any water.”

“I originally wanted to bring it out for a look, but… it entered my body through my wound…”

Lin Mu’s clear eyes looked at Fu Jingmo. He was calm, with a trusting expression that even he himself did not notice.

He understood that he was saying something like a fantasy.

But the world had become like this now, with zombies, mutations, and what else could be more absurd?

Fu Jingmo’s usually cold face finally showed a hint of surprise. “Plant fusion?”

Lin Mu was puzzled. “Fusion? I don’t know. It absorbed my blood. It seemed to enter my body through the blood vessels. At that time, I felt like it was crushing my heart, but after waking up, I didn’t feel anything abnormal.”

He touched his chest with lingering palpitations, and the tearing pain still made him shudder.

“The mutations should have many different forms, and there is currently very little information in this area,” Fu Jingmo said. “As for the wound you mentioned, it healed on the same night.”

Lin Mu’s heart skipped a beat, and Fu Jingmo indeed noticed it. “…Plants most of the time represent vitality. Even dead wood can revive in spring. Are you saying this is its… special ability?”

Fu Jingmo looked at Lin Mu, and he unconsciously tapped his right index finger rhythmically when he was thinking, with a meaningful expression.
“Self-healing ability, perhaps there are other special abilities as well, but for now, everything is just speculation. You can try to feel the energy inside your body more.”

“The energy inside my body?” Lin Mu asked in confusion.

Fu Jingmo reached out his hand, and a mysterious black mist gathered on his hand. With a slight movement of his finger, the black mist gradually solidified, turning into something like a crystalline substance with a black metallic texture.
He flicked his hand, and in the blink of an eye, it dissipated.

This!!!

Lin Mu took a sharp breath. This was Fu Jingmo’s special ability. It turned out that the fleeting black mist was not a trick of his eyes.
He was at a loss for words for a long time. Over twenty years of normal life had never taught him that one day a person would develop such a miraculous special ability …

“This is your special ability … Black crystal? Black mist?”

Fu Jingmo was not convinced. “Try to find this energy in your body, control it, use it.”

Lin Mu was eager to try, like Fu Jingmo, stretched out his hand, calming his mind, trying to find that energy in his body.

“…”

“…”

One minute passed, and there was nothing strange in his fair palm, and he also couldn’t feel the energy that Fu Jingmo mentioned in his body.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Mu showed a hint of embarrassment. Fu Jingmo chuckled, “Take it slow.”

Lin Mu withdrew his hand, feeling a bit disheartened.

“Could it be that my superpower is not very effective…”

“No, the black box mentioned the concept of biological fusion. Different animals and plants have different characteristics, which can become the cause of the appearance of special abilities.”

“Now Fengcheng(City) has only collected two cases of animal fusion mutants. The fewer appearances of special abilities, the more special they are,” Fu Jingmo casually comforted.

After the two finished speaking, the room fell silent again. Fu Jingmo got up, put everything back into his bag.

Lin Mu watched Fu Jingmo’s back, his gaze involuntarily following him, wondering if he would leave early in the morning.
Regardless of Fu Jingmo’s identity, at least his special ability and understanding of the current situation had made Lin Mu somewhat dependent in just two days.

People are creatures who seek advantage and avoid harm, and Lin Mu is no exception.

No one knows when this disaster will pass.

Will it ever pass …

Lin Mu hadn’t even figured out where to go next, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.

After spending a few minutes packing up, Fu Jingmo leaned against the table and glanced at the bewildered Lin Mu.

He was still very interested in Lin Mu’s special ability. The unidentified plants and the miraculous healing abilities were worth studying; perhaps it was not as simple as fusion.

Moreover, Lin Mu was not a troublesome person. Fu Jingmo had always carried out missions alone, never expecting that one day he would feel that having a companion wouldn’t be a bad idea.

“Lin Mu, do you want to come with me?”
