"Everyone be careful, there's something wrong with the grass here, there's a high chance it's a mutated plant!"

Lin Xue's mental strength was so powerful that she immediately sensed the abnormality here.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and take a look. I'll call you in if everything is alright!"

Lin Xue stopped the others who wanted to go further in and slipped inside first.

After walking around the camp, I found many large trucks parked in the area, but they were rusty because no one had taken care of them for a long time, and I didn't know if they could still be driven.

Finally, through the power of his spiritual senses, he located the mutated plant.

This is a large pumpkin planted in the corner of the camp. I never expected that this vegetable-like plant could mutate.

At that moment, countless pumpkins the size of tires appeared, their gaping maws baring their teeth at Lin Xue.

As Lin Xue drew closer, the pumpkin vines seemed to awaken, their tendrils coiling towards her like snakes.

After repeated experiments, Lin Xue discovered that this mutated plant did not only attack humans, but also anything that could move.

A single Flame Talisman completely destroyed the mutated pumpkin. Lin Xue felt that in the future, when they were camping in the wild, they should definitely check the surrounding area for any mutated plants.

This thing, apart from its own body, is completely indiscriminate, attacking anything it encounters without regard to friend or foe.

It's similar to that second-tier fire-attribute zombie.

"The mutated plants have been dealt with, you can come in now!"

After dealing with the mutated pumpkin, Lin Xue went to the camp entrance and called everyone in.

"There are still quite a few zombies near the houses in the camp, so please be careful when you move around and try not to make too much noise!"

As she walked, she gave instructions to everyone; even if she didn't say them aloud, the members of the Blade Squad knew what she was saying.

However, since these are now her mercenaries, Lin Xue naturally has to pay more attention to them.

"Many of these large trucks are rusty, and we don't know if they're still usable. Please check them out!"

"We need to at least get a means of transportation, otherwise traveling on foot is too slow!"

Lin Xue also conducted a preliminary inspection and found that several large trucks were still quite sturdy. Although some parts were severely rusted, they could still be used after being reinforced with some sheet metal.

Now it's just a matter of whether the engines can still start. There are at least four or five large trucks here, and with some effort, they should be able to modify two of them.

While the Blade Squad members inspected the vehicles, Lin Xue borrowed a machete from Big Beard and went to deal with the zombies wandering around the camp.

Many zombies, attracted by the scent of humans, rushed towards them, and Lin Xue dealt with them as well.

"You guys stop for a moment, and put these talismans on your bodies!"

Lin Xue realized that this couldn't go on. Although there weren't many zombies in the camp, there were quite a few outside. If they all came running after smelling the scent, it would be troublesome.

"Employer, how can you still believe in such things?"

The bearded man took the talisman and examined it carefully, muttering to himself.

"Since it's the employer's requirement, just carry it with you. Why are you making such a fuss?"

The captain glared at the bearded man, then put his own note into his shirt pocket.

"These are concealment talismans. Just keep them with you and don't lose them. You don't need to ask any other questions!"

After all, their relationship wasn't close enough for Lin Xue to have to explain things to them every step of the way.

After distributing the concealment talismans to them, Lin Xue picked up her large machete and went for a stroll around the neighborhood.

Meanwhile, the Blade Squad was also busy checking the condition of the vehicles, and finally selected three of the better ones.

They then moved all the tools from the camp's tool shed to the vehicle and inspected all the parts that needed repair.

"Captain, when I went to the restroom, a zombie suddenly ran out from next to me. I didn't react in time, but the zombie seemed not to have noticed me and just swaggered past me!"

One of the team members who had just gone to pee on the side was almost scared to death by this change.

However, when he finally realized that the zombie didn't seem to care about him at all, his curiosity was piqued.

Are you telling the truth?

"You can't joke about something like this, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

The captain was skeptical of his words, but eventually, at the urging of the bearded man, the three of them went outside to conduct an experiment.

They eventually discovered that as long as they didn't get too close to the zombies, they wouldn't be detected.

After discussing it, the group concluded that the talisman Lin Xue had given them must have been the one that worked.

Upon this discovery, the team members were overjoyed, and the captain even went to Lin Xue with his bushy beard to inquire about the Concealing Breath Talisman.

"These are just my abilities. As you all know, I am a superhuman, and my superpower is drawing talismans!"

"Of course, don't expect me to rescue thousands of survivors. I can only draw ten talismans a day, including the water-retaining talismans we need every day."

"There are also combat talismans to use when encountering zombies, and the number of times you can use Concealment Talismans is not many!"

Upon hearing Lin Xue's words, the mood of the Blade Squad members immediately sombered again.

Although this Concealing Breath Talisman is incredibly powerful, it's someone else's ability and can't be mass-produced, so it's not very helpful in the overall situation.

After learning the result, the squad leader stopped bothering Lin Xue and continued to lead his brothers to repair the car.

Knowing that their scent wouldn't attract zombies, the Blade Squad members no longer acted as cautiously as before.

They simply took out several engines from the camp and began modifying the three large trucks they had selected.

The rumbling sound echoed throughout the camp, but it didn't attract many zombies.

The zombies that ran in were the kind that had awakened auditory abilities. Their ears were very sensitive, but their abilities weren't very strong.

Lin Xue waited at the camp entrance, killing any that came her way.

It wasn't until midnight that the three pickup trucks were finally repaired.

After loading all the supplies that could be found in the camp onto the vehicles, Lin Xue jumped directly into the lead vehicle.

The truck bed was completely enclosed with sheet metal, and there were many tatami mats and other mattresses inside, which was where this group of people planned to rest in the future.

If it weren't for the limited materials, this group of people could probably have converted the pickup truck into a campervan.

Sometimes Lin Xue couldn't help but admire people's creativity. Like this group of mercenaries, even though their lives were very difficult, they could make the most of whatever they had.
