Chapter 25 Mutated Plants

Because of the continuous heavy rain, the survivors took shelter in the temporary shelters and the entire base fell into silence. Apart from the personnel patrolling in the rain and the occasional mission vehicles rushing back, there was no major movement.

But one hour after the Sun siblings returned to the dormitory, the base became lively again.

First, the patrol soldiers and the soldiers who stayed behind in the garrison took action and began to clean up the green plants in the entire garrison. Especially under the heavy rain, the green plants became greener and newer, and they were visibly growing larger. These were their key cleaning targets.

Afterwards, a new task was posted in the task hall, requiring the cleanup of the green plants that had begun to mutate around the temporary base. Because the reward was high, the well-informed corpse hunting teams were already anxious to send personnel out.

This is safer than killing zombies, and the rewards are also higher, so when several large zombie hunting teams met, they took on the cleanup tasks within ten kilometers outside the base. The areas farther away were handled by the military, because the heavier the rain, the farther away from the base, the higher the danger.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. When Sun Yi saw that the entire base was in action, the uneasiness in his heart was relieved a lot. That night was destined to be a sleepless night, as heavy rain fell all night long.

The next day, as soon as the sun showed a little light, the heavy rain stopped in an instant.

After the heavy rain, the whole base felt fresher and the foul smell in the air became lighter. However, in places that no one could see, the plants seemed to have gained new life and began to grow upwards, ushering in the first wave of mutations.

On the other side, the Black Hawk team, with all members intact, stayed in the airport's large hangar for a night. Looking at the huge aircraft parked in the hangar, everyone thought that it was unlikely to be driven away, and it would be best to take it away in space. However, the space ability user said helplessly:

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

Eagle Wing was also helpless, after all, this kind of military supplies would become less and less as they were used.

The situation in the capital is no better than here. The population there is dense, and after the outbreak of the apocalypse, they are already exhausted just by clearing out the zombies. The stored military supplies are being consumed rapidly, and it is impossible to get some support for them.

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

Lianyi suggested directly.

After hearing this, Eagle Mastiff's eyes lit up, and he patted his head and said:

“Purple Eagle is right, why didn’t we think of that? This is because we are limited by fixed thinking.

The temporary station is overcrowded now, and conflicts will increase over time. This is indeed a good station, with a flat surface. Even if a group of zombies come, they can be discovered immediately. If these fighters can be used reasonably, it will be very convenient to evacuate or support the station."

The more Eagle Mastiff talked, the more feasible it seemed.

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

Eagle Wing made the final decision.

The Black Hawk team then quickly left the airport. Although they did not get the fighter planes back, they had stored the ammunition, and the mission was half completed.

As they walked along, they also noticed the changes after a night of heavy rain. The team member responsible for observing the surroundings immediately reported:

"Captain, the surrounding vegetation is more lush than before we arrived."

Before he finished his words, everyone saw a zombie bird swooping towards them, but before it reached them, it was caught by a green branch and dragged down, and the rough bird's cry stopped abruptly.

The team member driving the car seemed to be frightened and stepped hard on the accelerator. The jeep suddenly jumped forward and disappeared into the distance, leaving only a lonely willow tree on the side of the road.

"That tree he.he."

The young earth-type mutant stuttered a little. He had just watched the whole process, but he didn't expect that the willow tree would actually start to "eat" the zombie bird.

"Plants are starting to mutate, too!"

Ripple sighed.

In the third month of the apocalypse, there was a night of heavy rain, causing the plants in the small world to begin to mutate. The degree and direction of the plant mutation were so unexpected that humans were shocked.

The inconspicuous grass on the roadside has become as sharp as a knife, and can even cut through the skin of a first-level zombie. The grass root system is very developed, ten times longer than the exposed part, and the root system has the function of storing water. After digging out the roots of the grass and breaking the outer skin of the root system, there is light green juice inside.

The tall banyan trees are becoming more and more sturdy, and their leaves can be shot out like flying knives, which are very good at strangling zombie birds. Based on this feature, the base dispatched a team of psychics and spent a lot of money to transplant the banyan trees to the outskirts of the base, just to resist the attacks of zombie birds.

The new base proposed by the Black Hawk Squad could just relieve the pressure on the temporary base, so the plan was passed smoothly and the first group of people to move in were the unit's combat team.

One year and five months after the apocalypse, second-level zombies began to appear in the small world one after another, triggering a wave of small zombies and also prompting the emergence of second-level psychics.

The airport base in City W was also attacked by a tide of zombies. Sun Yi, who was on vacation at the time, sensed it and immediately reported it to his superiors. No major losses were caused, and a wave of crystal cores were harvested.

Crystal cores have now become one of the energy sources for psychics to advance, and they have been officially certified. Therefore, after the corpse-hunting team has grown in size, they will take on tasks independently, obtain survival resources, and save crystal cores for themselves.

This sudden attack by the second-level zombies gave them an opportunity. Second-level psychics have appeared in the base one after another, but most of them are in the military, which they are convinced of.

After all, in missions that are difficult and risky, it is usually the military who are at the forefront, so they naturally obtain more crystal cores, and it is common for them to be promoted naturally.

The members of the Black Hawk Combat Team have also broken through the second level one after another. They are the combat team with the highest mission completion rate in the garrison and have become the ace. There are many corpse hunting teams that want to cooperate with them, and they will also accept the task of finding supplies and cooperate with the more powerful corpse hunting teams.

During this period, Lianyi found an opportunity to expose her jade fruit core space as a spatial ability. The team members were a little embarrassed when they knew about it, and unanimously decided to let her continue to hide it as the Black Hawk Team's trump card.

In fact, the real reason that prompted Lianyi to expose her space was that she didn't want to eat compressed biscuits with this group of people when she was on a mission. There were plenty of raw, cooked and semi-finished foods in her space, so why should she put herself in such a difficult situation?

Because of her decision, the entire team benefited. When they went out, they could at least have something hot to eat instead of having to eat dry military rations.

After the emergence of second-level mutants like mushrooms after a spring rain, W City also made a breakthrough in the research of crystal cores and developed a crystal core gun. The capital station used crystal cores to develop a protective shield that can resist attacks from zombies, birds, beasts and mutated plants to the greatest extent.
