Tian Li was worried that Ke Ping and others would object again, so she quickly pulled Xie Pu Rou away.

The two walked one after the other in the forest, not far away from each other, because Tian Li found that only by following Xie Pu Rou could she rub against the protective layer to avoid the rain.

Getting wet in the rain wasn't terrible, but it was still uncomfortable when the water ran into her eyes. She observed Xie Purou and made sure she didn't seem unhappy before continuing to rub her.

As they walked along, Tian Li took the initiative to explain to her, "You should have noticed that our base is different from other bases, right? Besides having fewer people, most of them are wood-type mutants."

Xie Pu Rou hummed, thinking that gold was also a mutated plant that could give people superpowers, and brought the gold out of the space.

Holding it steadily in his hand, he continued to listen to Tian Li.

"Many people in our base are second-level wood-type users. It's because we discovered a kind of fruit while foraging in the mountains. After eating it, there are no side effects and it can awaken wood-type abilities."

"You should have noticed the huge gap in our abilities, right? I'm already level five, and most of them are only level two." Tian Li laughed self-deprecatingly. "I don't know how we're going to survive in this base with such a low average ability level."

In order to guard against unknown dangers in the mountains, Xie Purou and Tian Li walked very close to each other, trying to keep her within their protective range.

Although Tian Li's safety cannot be guaranteed, it can at least prevent zombies from noticing humans.

After walking for a while, Tian Li looked around nervously. After making sure there was no danger, she pulled Xie Pu Rou and continued walking a few steps.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Purou opened her mouth to say something, but Tian Li interrupted her, "We're here."

"So fast?!" She came back to her senses and was surprised to realize that she had walked so far without realizing it.

Tian Li stopped in front of an inconspicuous plant, and Xie Pu Rou also stopped.

Jinzi seemed to sense something and immediately stood up straight.

Jinzi: [Master, I seem to smell the scent of my own kind.]

Xie Purou was a little amused: "Aren't you a flower? Aren't all the people in this forest your kind?"

Jin Zi sternly corrected him: [I am a golden-edged lotus! I am different from ordinary flowers and plants.]

"Is there anything to say?" It seemed as if he didn't hear what Jinzi said.

Jinzi's little leaf shrank: [I don't remember, I'm still a child!]

Xie Pu Rou didn't want to get any useful information from Jin Zi, so she quickly turned her attention to Tian Li.

Tian Li rushed out of Xie Purou's protective shield, completely ignoring the rain hitting her. She bent down and dug out a plant with her hands.

The rain had already loosened the soil, and she easily dug out the mutant plants.

"This is the mutant plant we found that can awaken people's superpowers." She held the roots of the mutant plant in both hands to prevent too much rain from hitting the roots and affecting the survival of the plant.

"You also have a plant in your hand. Why don't you let them squeeze each other?" Tian Li was a little anxious, fearing that the mutant plant in her hand would die.

Xie Pu Rou's mouth twitched, "No need." Then she took out an empty pot from the space, which was already filled with nutrient soil.

Tian Li didn't bother to be polite with her. Thinking that her hands were already covered in soil, she carefully buried the roots of the plant little by little into the flowerpot she had taken out.

"Jinzi, I don't seem to sense any unusual movement from that mutant plant."

Jin Zi actually sensed something: [I really feel like it's one of my kind.]

But it's strange. I try to communicate with it but it ignores me. It's like... is it, is it, maybe, possibly, should, could it be mentally retarded?

Xie Purou listened attentively to Jin Zi's words, and after hearing them she felt like a big fool.

"Thank you, I'm speechless again." I've never heard of anyone calling a plant stupid.

"It's planted." Tian Li handed over the plant, stretched out her muddy hands, and rinsed them casually under the rain.

She was already wet, and Xie Pu Rou took out a large bath towel from the space and handed it to her.

Tian Li shook her head and refused: "There are still a few left, do you want to take them all?"

"Other plants have fruit, but this one has no fruit because we picked it and ate it some time ago."

Tian Li continued walking forward, and indeed she found a mutant plant with a dozen small fruits hanging on it not far away.

Xie Purou tried, but the plant refused to communicate with her.

She put the gold and the first mutant plant that was dug out into the space, and pulled up Tian Li who was squatting and about to start digging again.

"Let me do it." Since it was something given to her, she couldn't just stand there and watch others busying themselves serving her.

"No need." Tian Li was very strong and snatched the seat back. "You look nice in it, don't get your clothes dirty."

Woohoo, I suddenly felt a little touched. It turns out that being a girl is better.

So she can't be left digging alone.

"It's not dirty." She said and squatted down, and the two of them dug together.

She could have just put the tree into the space, but it was obvious that the plant was something the Coke Base wanted to hand over to the country and had nothing to do with her personally.

After digging up one tree, Tian Li led her to dig up all the fruits nearby, a total of five trees. She also roughly counted and found about thirty fruits.

"These fruits take a long time to ripen. We were out foraging for them two years ago and stumbled upon them. They are considered fruits, so we took them home to eat."

"After eating it, we found that it had no effect on people who already had superpowers. However, for ordinary people without superpowers, after a short sleep, they would have awakened their superpowers when they woke up."

The sound of rain was pouring down, and Xie Purou couldn't hear Tian Li's words clearly, and some of her words were unclear.

Helplessly, he could only say, "The rain is too noisy. Let's go back and talk."

"good."

The two agreed, and Xie Purou stored the plants they dug up in her space. On the way back, they just had to be careful with their steps, and they made it back to the cave without any problems.

"Wow, it seems like they can really understand what we're saying!"

"Then I'll have another serving of fried rice dumplings. Can I shake your hand, too?"

"Ahh, so cute, so furry."

"It seems like we haven't petted a cat in a long time. I really want to pet a cat right away."

"Mimi~mimi~mimi, look at me!"

Xie Purou was confused. Why did he tease her employees while she was away?

Shocking! A group of young women verbally harassing underage employees! Is this a decline in morality or a lack of humanity?

"Cough cough..." Tian Li followed her and obviously heard it. She coughed twice to indicate to everyone that they were back.

"Sister Tian Li, you're back so soon?" Maya walked over to them and saw that they were empty-handed. She asked curiously, "Hey, why didn't you bring anything back?"
