Chapter 44 Pepper Grass
"How do I know if your potion is real?" Jin Lei forced himself to calm down. Although he asked this, his eyes never left the potion.
"Isn't practice the best way to verify?" Jiang Mi smiled slightly.
The woman next to Jin Lei couldn't hold back and turned her head to look at him with fiery eyes, "Brother Lei, the fourth brother..."
She didn't finish her words, but Jin Lei immediately understood what she meant.
The fourth brother started to advance a few days ago, and now he is still lying in bed, suffering a fate worse than death. The stronghold’s water resource shortage is imminent, forcing them to leave the cleared safe area to search for supplies.
If this potion is really useful, then the fourth brother can be saved. If he can successfully advance and gain a powerful superpower, then the strength of their team will make a qualitative leap!
But the key question is, do we really need to bring these people back to the base?
Before he could speak, the woman beside him stepped forward and looked at Jiang Mi, "Give us the medicine and we will verify it."
Jiang Mi raised his eyebrows. Are they afraid of destroying their lair?
"You don't think that all we need to do is drink this potion and everything will be fine, do you?" She chuckled. "It's only been a short time since the end of the world, and this thing is still a first-generation test product. Although it can make people immune to mutations and allow them to advance perfectly,... the pain they have to go through is still not going to be reduced."
After these words were spoken, Jin Lei's eyes darkened slightly.
The two people in front of him did not mention whether there was any power behind them, but judging from the effect of this potion, it would not have been possible to research it so quickly without the support of a behemoth.
Coupled with the fearless look of the two men, this made him even more convinced that there was a huge background behind them that could not be underestimated.
Jin Lei's expression changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay! But if you are lying to me, I don't care who you are, I will never show mercy!"
The harsh words he said were already considered merciful. He was already a little cautious and didn't want to really break off relations with these two people.
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the depths of the city. The woman looked at Jiang Mi deeply, turned around and followed Jin Lei without saying anything else. Zhu San's eyes flickered, and he deliberately fell behind a few steps, intending to get closer to Jiang Mi and the other person.
"I advise you to stay away from us." Jiang Xun cast a cold gaze on Zhu San, pulled out a silver gun from his coat pocket, and pointed the black muzzle mercilessly at his forehead.
Zhu San's face was stiff, he smiled bitterly, shrugged, and said, "Since we are all going to cooperate, then we are all friends, don't be so formal."
Jin Lei, who was leading the way, paused slightly when he heard Zhu San's voice, but ignored it. The woman beside him stopped, turned sideways and looked at him coldly, warning him, "Zhu San, you'd better not cause trouble."
Zhu San gritted his teeth. Seeing that Jiang Xun had no expression on his face and had no intention of moving the gun away, he could only laugh dryly and quickly stepped forward to distance himself. He turned his head and looked at the woman who had her back to him with a vicious look. He secretly spat and cursed: "You stinky Ma Gobi bastard, I will kill you sooner or later!"
Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun were lagging far behind Jin Lei's team leisurely, strolling as if they were shopping.
"It seems that this team doesn't really work together." She teased softly.
Jiang Xun didn't react at all, and said calmly: "The premise of unity is to safeguard common interests."
Jiang Mi didn't comment. He glanced at her and whispered, "Don't take it lightly. Although this group of people won't attack us for the time being, it will be a bit troublesome if they have suspicions."
Jiang Mi smiled and joked, "Nothing else to say, but I learned the ability to pretend from you, brother."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a tingling sensation on his lips.
Jiang Mi glared over, while Jiang Xun looked at the dark light ahead calmly, as if he was not the one who did it.
Jiang Mi got angry for a moment and then shut up angrily.
Humph! When she awakens her superpowers, she will kill him ruthlessly!
After walking for a while, Jiang Xun suddenly said, "They seem to be hiding from something."
Jiang Mi has also discovered that normally, the only ones that can pose a threat to humans now should be human mutants. Those mutants not only have extremely high physical fitness but also have extremely ugly appearances that can cause people to lose a lot of sanity points, which can indeed be regarded as a mental attack.
As for animals and plants, most of them are probably still hibernating. Once the snow melts in the spring of next year, there will be an explosive growth period of deformed species.
Only then will human survival become difficult.
But what is there to hide from now?
After observing carefully for a while, Jiang Mi found that they walked very lightly, moved quickly, and tried not to get close to any place where things could be hidden, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.
Are there any particularly powerful monsters at this time?
Jiang Mi thought carefully, and a vague memory emerged.
That was two years after the apocalypse. She heard someone mention in a conversation that there was a mutated plant in P City that had been evolving by devouring corpses. It had already occupied one-fifth of the city. The Southwest Survivor Base sent the only fourth-level superpower person at the time to destroy it.
In the end, the fourth-level person was seriously injured before he eliminated the plant called peperomia, because the mutant was a mutated version of the ornamental aquatic plant Green Wendy Peperomia in the fish tank.
The distorted peperomia is also the first and most powerful evolved distorted plant discovered since the end of the world.
She heard about this incident at the time but did not take it seriously. If she had not specifically thought about it, she would never have thought that this mutant was related to P City.
Could it be that these people are just avoiding the deformed peperomia?
In an instant, Jiang Mi thought of the many corpses that had been sucked dry when they first landed in P City, and immediately his guess was somewhat confirmed.
As she walked, she told Jiang Xun everything she had just thought of.
Then both of them perked up. It took the distorted peperomia two years to grow to almost the fourth level. They wondered what its strength would be now.
Even though Jiang Xun is now at level three, he may end up in disaster if he underestimates his enemy.
But fortunately, I followed Jin Lei all the way to their base and didn't encounter the peperomia plant.
Jin Lei and his team's base is in a residential building, which is relatively hidden. There are large supermarkets around it for easy access to supplies. There is also a police station not far away. I think the guns in their hands must have been searched from there.
"This is the fourth member of our team, Du Feng. He is now in the process of advancement." Jin Lei brought Jiang Mi and the other person to a room. The room was simply furnished. On the bed lay a man with red skin and purple-brown scars all over his body.
Jiang Mi didn't say anything more and directly took out the tube of medicine and handed it to Jin Lei, "Feed it yourself."
"But I have to make it clear that his advancement has lasted for at least four days, and his body has already been partially deformed. I cannot guarantee that this potion can suppress the deformation, but what is certain is that if he does not drink this potion, he will die. If he drinks it, at least he can survive."
