'Level: Berserk (Level 3)'
'Genre: Quiet Whisperer (Mimosa)'
Characteristics: Aggressive plants are so rare that they are named individually and not categorized. Quiet Whispers are extremely sensitive to energy and will consume and digest any living thing within their range.
Blinking his eyes, Chen Yan was speechless at the real-time information prompts displayed on his contact lenses.
You call this nearly three-meter-tall thing a mimosa?
The floor height of a power station is incomparable to that of a residential building. The height of the second floor in front of us is definitely more than four meters, and it is estimated to be around four and a half meters.
The giant mimosa that suddenly popped up occupied at least two-thirds of the floor height. In addition, its rhizomes looked very tough. Even if it could not move, its actual attack range was quite amazing.
At least once you step through this door of the safe passage, it seems like you're entering the attack range of the mimosa!
Logically speaking, the stairs behind this kind of safety passage should normally lead directly from the first floor to the top floor.
After all, it is used for emergency escape, so it is natural to run as little distance as possible.
The shorter the distance you need to run, the greater the probability of escape.
But for some reason, the emergency staircases on each floor of the fusion nuclear power plant are not together...
If you want to go from the second floor to the third floor, you must go through the door of the safety passage in front of you, pass the mimosa, and go to the right rear of the mimosa.
That's the emergency staircase from the second floor to the third floor...
I don’t know how this damn staircase design passed the review!
"It's both fortunate and unfortunate. I'm afraid we'll have to go back and think of a solution. Fortunately, even if the mutant plants are aggressive, they can't be intelligent, and their range of movement is limited. As long as we're careful and don't enter their attack range, we'll be safe.
Unfortunately, all mutant plants that are aggressive are often very powerful. The mimosa in front of us is already the weakest of the several known aggressive plants. But even this 'weakest' has reached the violent level, and we can't deal with it.
Xu Qinghe turned around and looked at the other four members of the team and spoke calmly.
Chen Yan looked at the ferocious Whisperer and pondered, "Can it be burned with fire? Plants are supposed to be afraid of fire. Even if it's a mutated plant, its composition wouldn't have changed fundamentally. It wouldn't have mutated to the point of being invulnerable to fire or water, right?"
Xu Qinghe shook his head. "I'm afraid not. These plants are extremely humid, making them difficult to ignite. If you go to great lengths to ignite them, the fire will spread rapidly, making it almost impossible to extinguish them. The noise will be so loud that it might attract even more terrifying creatures. By comparison, although the Silent Whisperer is a Berserker, you're safe as long as you stay out of its attack range. At the Berserker level, this is already the most friendly state."
Chen Yan looked inside the second floor through the door of the emergency passage and frowned. "What if we climb up from the outside? The height of the third floor isn't that exaggerated. The windows are only about ten meters from the ground. Whether we climb up through the vines covering the outer wall or just jump up, we should be able to do it, right?"
Xu Qinghe continued to shake his head and said, "We don't know what's on the third floor yet. If there's a Quiet Whisperer there, breaking in through the window would be extremely dangerous. As for the vines... Xiao Chen, you have to remember that while most plants are harmless, stay away from any that can move. Don't try to touch them."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded to show that he understood.
Obviously, there is still too much common sense related to survival in this wasteland that he needs to learn and master as soon as possible.
The group did not stay any longer. After confirming that they could not deal with the Silent Whisperer, they immediately decided to return the same way.
But just as he walked out of the power station gate, a roar like muffled thunder suddenly rolled in from a distance!
The five members of the team all changed color and instinctively turned their heads to look in the direction where the roar came from.
The coastal line of Qindao City!
It is at least ten kilometers away from where they are now!
But that roar filled with anger could easily cross the distance of ten kilometers!
"What's going on?"
Chen Yan asked subconsciously.
Xu Qinghe said solemnly, "I don't know. Only zombies or mutants above level five can make such a terrifying sound! Could it be that the mutants in the sea are attacking the land along the coastline again?
But this has nothing to do with us. Let's go back and tell Mr. Fei about the situation here and see if he has any solutions. I hope the situation doesn't get worse, otherwise our already limited preparation time will become even more urgent."
After saying that, Xu Qinghe immediately turned around and led the team back.
However, the way back was much more difficult than the way here.
Although the route back and forth had hardly changed, the roar clearly affected many zombies and mutant creatures!
A large number of zombies that were originally in a dormant state also crawled out from their dormant places, forcing the group to carefully deal with these suddenly appearing zombies on their way back.
They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would attract the attention of a large number of zombies and trigger a small-scale zombie tide.
The drones no longer dared to be used directly, as flying mutant creatures began to fly through the sky. These mutants seemed very anxious and became extremely aggressive. They would even swoop down from time to time to attack the zombies that were everywhere on the ground...
The journey here took only an hour and a half, but the return journey took more than seven hours!
The total distance is three kilometers, which means we can only move forward more than 400 meters per hour on average.
This was all thanks to the five people's tacit cooperation, their high concentration throughout, and almost no mistakes, so they were able to successfully return to the villa area before dark.
If any major accident happened on the road, the five members of the team would probably have to find a way to spend the night in the ruins of the city.
For all those who live in this wasteland, spending the night in the ruins of a city is tantamount to dancing with death.
Compared to daytime, there are many very powerful mutant creatures that will run out from their habitats at night to hunt.
No one wants to encounter them, because no one wants to face death.
Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur.
Xu Qinghe's rich experience in ruins exploration played an extremely crucial role in this!
