Chapter 25 Mutant Plants

d. Please ask Sister Wang and the others to cook some dishes as a way of thanking my fellow educated youths for taking care of me."We understand your intentions, but you should keep this money for fut...Because of the incessant rain, the survivors had all sought refuge in the makeshift shelters they had built. The entire base fell silent, with only the occasional patrol braving the downpour and the rumble of returning mission vehicles breaking the stillness.

But an hour after the Sun siblings returned to their dormitory, the base was abuzz again.

First, the patrolling soldiers and garrisoned warriors sprang into action, starting to clear all the green plants throughout the outpost. Especially after the rain's watering, they became even greener and fresher, and the visibly growing vegetation was their primary target for removal.

Subsequently, a new task appeared in the mission hall, requiring the clearing of mutated greenery around the temporary base. Due to the high reward, all well-informed corpse hunter teams received the news.

This is safer than killing zombies, and the harvest is higher, so several large zombie hunting squads bumped into each other and took over the cleaning task ten kilometers outside their base. Further away, it was handled by military personnel because the rain was getting heavier, the further from the base, the higher the danger.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion. Sun Yi's anxiety eased somewhat when she saw the entire base bustling with activity. That night was destined to be a sleepless one, as torrential rain poured down for the entire evening.

The next day, as soon as the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, the heavy rain stopped abruptly.

After being cleansed by the heavy rain, the entire base felt fresh. The stench in the air had dissipated, but in places unseen by humans, plants seemed to have sprung back to life, beginning to grow vigorously upward and welcoming the first wave of mutations.

On the other side, Black Hawk Squad had hunkered down in the main hangar for a night without any casualties. Looking at the behemoth inside the hangar, they all felt that the chances of it being moved were slim. It would be best to transport it within their dimensional space, but the person with spatial abilities sighed helplessly and said:

"Captain, my space is limited, I can't fit it."

Even Yingyi was helpless. After all, this military equipment was something that was scarce.

The situation in the capital garrison is no better than here. It's densely populated, and after the apocalypse broke out, they were already overwhelmed just dealing with zombies. Their stored military supplies are being consumed rapidly, and it's impossible to send them any support.

If we can't take it, let's build another temporary base here and send some people over. What do you think

Wu Lianyi directly proposed.

Upon hearing this, the hawk mastiff's eyes lit up, and he patted his head and said:

"Purple Hawk is right, how could we have not thought of that We were limited by our fixed thinking."

"The current temporary base is overcrowded, and tensions will inevitably rise if this continues. It's true that this is a good location, open and flat. Even if a horde of zombies were to approach, we'd spot them immediately. These advantages could be put to good use for both evacuating from or supporting the base."

The more the hawk spoke, the more feasible it seemed to him.

"In that case, let's go back first and report to the captain, then we can make a new plan."

The falcon's wing, a hammer blow of finality.

After that, the Black Hawk team quickly left the airfield. Although they didn't get the aircraft back, they managed to take all the ammunition into their space, so the mission was half completed.

Along the way, they also discovered the changes after a heavy overnight rain. The team member responsible for observing the surroundings immediately reported:

"Captain, the plants around us are more lush than they were when we arrived."

Before his words even faded, they saw a zombie bird swooping down towards them. But before it reached them, it was caught and pulled down by a green vine, its rough screech abruptly cut short.

The driving teammate seemed to be startled and slammed on the gas pedal. The jeep lurched forward again, disappearing into the distance, leaving only a lone willow tree by the roadside.

That tree he he

The young earthen ability user stuttered a bit, he had watched the whole process just now, never expecting the willow tree to start "eating" the zombie birds.

"Plants have also begun to mutate!"

Wu Lianyi sighed.

In the third month of the apocalypse, a heavy downpour transformed the plants in the small world in unexpected and surprising ways. The extent and direction of these transformations left humanity stunned and bewildered.

Even the inconspicuous weeds by the roadside have become as sharp as knives, capable of cutting through even a level 1 zombie's skin. The roots of these weeds are extremely developed, ten times longer than what is visible above ground, and they possess the function of storing water. When you dig out the roots of a weed and break open its outer skin, inside you will find a pale green sap.

The tall banyan tree grew even thicker and its leaves could shoot out like throwing knives, making it a master at killing zombie birds. Based on this characteristic, the base dispatched a team of mutants and spent a lot of money transplanting the banyan tree to the perimeter of the base in order to defend against attacks by zombie birds.

...and a proposal put forward by the Black Hawk team to open up a new base to ease pressure on the temporary one was also successfully passed. The first batch of personnel to move in were the combat squads from the unit.

Five months after the apocalypse, level 2 zombies started appearing in the small world, triggering a small zombie wave and also leading to the emergence of level 2 superhuman abilities.

The airport base in W city was also attacked by the zombie horde. Sun Yi, who was on vacation at the time, sensed it and immediately reported it to her superiors. There was no major loss, and they even harvested a wave of nuclei.

Nuclei have now become one of the energy sources for superpower advancement, and they are officially certified. Therefore, after the corpse hunting squad becomes organized, they will independently take on missions. While obtaining survival resources, they also accumulate nuclei for themselves.

This second-tier zombie raid gave them an opportunity. There had been a gradual increase in second-tier ability users within the base, but most of them were concentrated in the military. They had to admit that was true.

After all, difficult and high-risk missions are generally undertaken by military personnel who are at the forefront. Consequently, they naturally acquire more crystal cores, and it's common for them to level up as a result.

Members of the Black Hawk Squad have also successively broken through to Level 2, becoming the squad with the highest mission completion rate in the base. They have become ace soldiers and many corpse-hunting squads want to cooperate with them. They will also take on missions to find resources and cooperate with more capable corpse-hunting squads.

During this time, Wu Lianyi found an opportunity to expose her jade core space as a spatial ability. The team members were a bit stunned after knowing, and unanimously decided to let her continue to conceal it, serving as the trump card of the Black Hawk squad.

Actually, the real reason is that Wu Lianyi really didn't want to eat compressed biscuits with this group of people when she wasn't on a mission. She had plenty of cooked, raw, and half-finished food in her space, so why would she put herself through this

Because of her decision, the whole squad benefited greatly. When they went out on missions, they could at least eat hot food and didn't have to gnaw on dry military rations anymore.

After the emergence of Tier 2 ability users like mushrooms after a rain, W City also made breakthroughs in crystal core research. They developed crystal core guns, while the capital garrison utilized crystal core research to create protective shields that could effectively defend against attacks from zombie birds, beasts, and mutated plants. favorite Desert Eagle, and asked with a smile:"Boss, where did you get this""Secret."Ripple blinked and said.Then the ripples said, under the gaze of the lion and Gong Fan:"The reason I'm bringing th...
