Even though Wang Jiaobin was worried, he still decisively gave the order because it concerned the safety of all the survivors in Guangzhou:

"Locate the possible location of the mutated plant. Missile preparation. Enter pre-launch phase!"

"Deploy the drone to continue observation!"

The mutated kapok tree was a malignant tumor in Guangzhou at that time.

The longer it is left to grow, the harder it will be to eradicate.

Moreover, the situation in the southern theater was not optimistic at this time either, as the zombie offensive showed no signs of abating.

Ammunition is being consumed in large quantities every moment.

While maintaining defense, a large number of soldiers also need to be sent into the city to rescue survivors.

Even if the stockpiled ammunition and other supplies can sustain us for a period of time, it is ultimately not a long-term solution.

It is surrounded by three cities with populations of over ten million.

Their current force of three or four thousand men is simply insufficient to cope...

"I'll give you another half day..."

"If we can't deal with it before dark, we'll have to bomb it!"

Despite the grief in my heart, I still made the decision.

Every survivor is precious in the post-apocalyptic world.

As the red fog spread, it enveloped thousands of survivors, with almost certain death for anyone who entered.

It's impossible to sacrifice thousands of people for the sake of Huang Zhao and a few others.

Huang Zhao, who was outside the red fog area, naturally did not expect the war zone commander to be so ruthless.

Judging from their previous conversations and the actions of others in the war zone towards Xiangyang.

Wang Xiangyang likely has an unusual relationship with the commander.

They were either father and son or nephew and niece. Bringing him to the Red Mist Zone was to make him somewhat hesitant to act rashly.

However, he did not expect that his plan would provoke the military’s fragile nerves, causing them to plan to bomb the Red Fog Zone ahead of schedule.

The red mist spread with the strong winds caused by the sonic boom, quickly covering the mutated dog pack and Huang Zhao and others on the building.

Huang Zhao could clearly sense that the spiritual energy permeating the red mist was weakening.

The suppression of Huang Zhao's mental perception area is getting weaker and weaker.

Successfully connected with the subconscious and received the transmitted information.

Huang Zhao turned to Alice and the others and said:

"You all stay here, King Kong and I are going to rescue them!"

"Senior brother, I..."

"We found Auntie, but we didn't see Uncle..."

"The mutated plant is currently being held back by Daqiang. Let's go rescue the person now and find out what's going on!"

Delay could lead to unforeseen consequences, so Huang Zhao directed Jin Gang to rush quickly toward the center of the red mist area.

Below, due to the spread of the red mist, the zombies controlled by the kapok tree have begun fighting against the mutated dog pack.

Aww!

To protect their food, the dog leader and his pack refused to retreat an inch.

The dog leader also discovered that his underlings were no longer under his control.

It arrogantly spewed fireballs from its mouth, burning any approaching zombies to charcoal.

However, they showed no intention of continuing to rush into the red fog area.

Fighting here should be considered as fulfilling that big bastard's requirements, right?

We can just wait here for it to deliver the energy crystal.

The more things that bring such easy and abundant benefits, the better!

In other areas shrouded by the red mist, battles between survivors, mutated beasts, and kapok-flower zombies can be seen everywhere.

Large numbers of zombies and mutated beasts controlled by the kapok tree emerged.

Upon seeing this, Huang Zhao immediately said:

"We'll go down and clear out the high-level zombies and mutated beasts that are being controlled, reducing the losses of the dog pack."

Huang Zhao also had a hidden worry: the kapok tree cultivated a large number of kapok fruits to control other organisms.

And the scene we saw earlier where the flower bud transferred the energy crystal from the zombie's mind.

If all the energy were concentrated in the kapok tree itself, it might have already surpassed its current level.

After such a long period of contact, Huang Zhao has also figured out its strength.

It's probably a level 5 mutated creature, not yet level 6.

Beneath its roots, hundreds of thousands of zombie corpses provide it with nourishment.

It won't be long before it breaks through to level six.

But now it has no chance, not to mention it has offended Huang Zhao.

The very fact that it grows in the city would not be tolerated by human survivors.

Under the military's missiles, there is absolutely no chance of resistance unless it reaches level seven.

Without much thought, Huang Zhao activated his mental perception area and marked and killed high-level zombies in the horde.

"Attack the kapok flowers on their heads, and the creatures they control will die after you take them off."

Huang Zhao held in his hand a kapok flower fruit that had shrunk into a single fruit after being picked.

When one probes into it with their spiritual senses, they find a level-three energy crystal inside.

In addition, there is a faint thread connecting to the center of the red mist.

"Could it be that it can remotely and directly absorb the energy of the manipulated organism?"

Huang Zhao was somewhat shocked. If all of these were taken back by the kapok tree, what level could it reach?

Level 6? Or will you break through the barriers and jump straight to Level 7?

At that time, Guangzhou will probably be completely shrouded in red fog and become its domain.

"Xiangyang, the red fog has dissipated. Can you contact the people in the war zone?"

Xiang Yang, who was wondering why Huang Zhao was staring blankly at the kapok fruit, heard this and took out his pager from his waist and turned it on.

"Sure, what can I do for you?"

"There are over a thousand survivors in the center of the red fog. Missiles cannot be fired!"

"And this mutated plant is accumulating energy, planning to break through to a higher level in one fell swoop!"

"Call for backup! We have to stop it!"

Xiang Yang was startled, unsure whether Huang Zhao was telling the truth or not, so he relayed his words back to the war zone command center.

"Send troops to support us!"

Without much hesitation, Wang Jiaobin issued the order.

Within the Southern Theater Command, armed helicopters and transport planes took off and flew towards the southern region.

Although the initial chaos caused enormous losses, the strength of a major military region should not be underestimated.

"Everyone, take down all the kapok flowers and hand them over to Chen Run to store in his supernatural space!"

The only way Huang Zhao could think of to deal with this situation was to use his special ability to create a spatial barrier.

"King Kong and I are going to rescue people. You guys be careful. If there's any danger, retreat back to the building we were in before!"

Huang Zhao has already located and killed all the high-level zombies and mutated beasts in the surrounding area.

However, the large number of level zero zombies could not cause any harm to Ning Chuxia and the others who were wearing alloy armor.

Huang Zhao left with Jin Gang, feeling reassured.

Meanwhile, the kapok tree in the center of the red mist had gone completely mad, waving its branches in an attempt to drive Daqiang away.

But the branches couldn't keep up at all, and the sonic boom caused them to sway precariously.

Numerous branches need to be inserted into the ground to stabilize the root system and prevent them from being blown over.

Daqiang, who crawls on the ground, can circle a 200-meter diameter circle in almost 2 seconds.

Not only were the kapok trees shaking violently, but the surrounding buildings were also teetering on the verge of collapse.
