An hour later, the van came to a steady stop at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as Bai Xizhu got out of the car, she smelled a faint floral fragrance.
Before the apocalypse, the mines were barren from mining, and no vegetation grew.
After the apocalypse, weeds grew wildly, and trees regained their vitality.
In March, when the grass grows and the birds fly, the mountains are lush and green.
Their purpose in coming here was to search the mine, open the sealed mine shafts, and eliminate the dangerous animals inside.
There are no zombies in the mine, only ferocious mutated animals.
There are many human footprints in the mine, but not many wild animals. After the energy tide, the mutated animals will choose an environment suitable for their growth.
Domesticated animals such as cats and dogs, after mutation, become smarter and fiercer. They will break free from their owners' constraints and find their own space.
In the months since the apocalypse, tremendous changes have taken place all over the world.
Humans, zombies, and plants and animals have all mutated.
It will be a long time before we determine who will stand at the very top of the pyramid.
Several groups of people have come to the safe base to carry out missions, but all of them have returned empty-handed.
They couldn't even get into the mountains; a flock of mutated birds was circling around the mine.
The seven Iron Ladies, each wielding a gleaming kitchen knife, and dressed in matching black tracksuits, naturally surrounded Bai Xizhu, Bai Yifan, and Leng Yebai.
...Captain Zhou led the way alone, his back view appearing somewhat lonely.
The faint fragrance of flowers mixed with the scent of earth filled my nostrils, making me feel refreshed and relaxed.
Everything in sight is green.
"This is practically a forest!"
Bai Yifan felt a slight sense of emotion.
This was the first time he had ever seen such dense thickets and wild grass.
Although the trees are sparse, green vines hang everywhere, giving it a forest-like feel.
Leng Yebai and Bai Xizhu walked side by side, their cool eyes surveying their surroundings.
"There's some noise ahead."
Leng Yebai subconsciously grabbed Bai Xizhu's fingers and looked ahead.
Bai Xizhu listened carefully for a while and could faintly hear the sound of pigs squealing.
Is it a mutated wild boar?
"There's no sound. Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"
Captain Zhou stopped, closed his eyes, and listened carefully for a while, but still couldn't hear anything.
"Let's be careful!"
A faint golden light enveloped Bai Yifan.
He believed in the strength of his older sister and brother Leng, and decided to play it safe from the beginning.
Li Xue gripped the kitchen knife in her hand and walked closely to Bai Xizhu's other side.
The Bai family saved the lives of all the sisters, so they had to protect Bai Xizhu and her brother no matter what.
They didn't want to take on such a dangerous mission in the first place, but Zhao Mi'er was spreading rumors all over the safe base that the sisters were doing *that*...
Every night someone knocks on their door...
They lived in ordinary residential buildings in the base's living area, where most of the people who could live were people with superpowers.
No matter how powerful they are, only Li Xue is a superhuman. She only recently awakened her water-based superpower, so her offensive capabilities are not strong.
The seven sisters had no choice but to fight desperately with kitchen knives.
Although no one benefited from it, if this happened every day, it would really affect my mood.
The villa area is the quietest, and there are even security guards with superpowers, so they are not afraid of being disturbed at all.
They can't afford it.
This job could make them a fortune, and they could move to a villa area with their girlfriends instead of being bothered by others all the time.
They had considered not staying at the Fire Phoenix Safe Base, but ultimately they were just girls whose wings weren't strong enough yet, so they could only stay at the Safe Base.
They fear encountering the same situation again; if they were imprisoned again, they wouldn't have the courage to survive a second time.
Being alive is the most important thing.
The kitchen knife was sharp, but the superhumans weren't pushovers either, so they had to keep their distance.
Whenever Li Xue had free time, she would enhance her superpowers, absorbing crystal cores day and night, all in order to gain a place among superpowered individuals.
They had all been through hell and didn't want to go back.
Weakness is the original sin.
They don't want to be the weak.
If you don't have superpowers, then hold onto your kitchen knife tightly.
The pig's squeals became increasingly louder.
A commotion came from the bushes ahead, and the squeals of pigs grew louder and louder, clearly indicating that it wasn't just one animal making the noise.
Are there really that many wild boars?
Bai Yifan stared wide-eyed ahead.
For a moment, he thought he had encountered a herd of pigs.
Suddenly, a strange bird flew out of the bushes. The bird looked like a chicken, had sharp claws, and made a pig-like squealing sound.
As they cried out, black blood dripped from their mouths.
They eat zombies.
Carnivorous mutant animals will not let moving carrion go unpunished.
Then, more and more strange birds flew over, their sharp claws lunging at the group.
"Aren't these those man-eating monster birds!" Captain Zhou cursed under his breath. "I asked the people who carried out the mission yesterday, and none of them told me that the sound was like pigs squealing!"
That's understandable.
In such a harsh environment as the apocalypse, crystal cores are capital.
Those who are tasked with this mission all want to complete it; if they fail the first time, they'll try again.
The scenes inside the mine are classified information; they risk their lives to obtain this intelligence and won't easily reveal it to others.
They wanted to go back and prepare before attempting the task a second time!
A generous reward would allow those with superpowers to improve their abilities in a safe base without worry.
