Chapter 604: Life Vines

Lab Zero is the largest of all the laboratories situated in the Floating Base. Despite being unoccupied for several decades, the internal support system continues to function seamlessly;

In the center of Lab Zero, within a tens-of-square-meters glass chamber, is a two-meter-high vine. The vine's trunk, roughly the width of a bucket, bears patterns reminiscent of snake scales. Innumerable branches sprawl from its main body, enveloping the entire glass chamber;

Atop the vine, three flowers bloom, each the color of purple-red. Glowing subtly, their surfaces resemble the sheen on a ceramic glaze, appearing as fine pieces of art.

The glass chamber's intelligent system continues to regulate the temperature, humidity, and nutrient supply. Thus, even after the passage of decades, the plant thrives.
