Chapter 152 Third-Order Mutant Plants [18]
With a few words, everyone dispelled their doubts.
They chuckled and said, "It's great that no one lives in this village! It means we don't have to kill zombies today!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Shen Wang frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
Lin Xiangheng walked to his side and said in a low voice, "Boss, I feel something's off here, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
"It's like we're being watched by something."
Lin Xiangheng felt a hairy feeling on his back.
Chen Wang also has a similar feeling.
Hearing what he said, Ah Chu looked at the village, which was almost too clean.
She searched for the storyline she had received.
Ah, I understand!
This village is indeed strange.
But Achu can't say anything, and if she does, how can she explain that she knows?
However, she felt that with Shen Wang and Shen Sui, two of the strongest in the apocalypse, there would definitely be no trouble.
Achu felt relieved.
Although the village looked clean, to ensure everything was in order, Chen Wang still arranged for people to check each house one by one.
Achu followed suit and became deluded.
Lin Xiangheng and his group also each led their own people to conduct inspections.
The village wasn't big, and there were quite a few of them, so they quickly finished inspecting all the houses.
"There's really no one in this village!"
"Not even a shadow of a zombie!"
"However, I saw bloodstains in some of the houses."
"There's some rice, flour, and cooking oil in every house!"
"It looks like people still live here."
"How strange!"
"Is it possible that there were people living here when the zombie outbreak occurred, but after the outbreak, the villagers dealt with the zombies, cleaned up the area, and left?"
"But if they leave, why don't they pack their things and take them with them? Are they just going to leave empty-handed? Not even taking the food?"
"Something is definitely not right."
Shen Sui came to Shen Wang's side and called out to him, "Brother, what do you think?"
Chen Wang's face remained expressionless as he spoke, "I'll take some men to check around the village. You and your men stay here to keep watch."
Shen Suicai wanted to suggest that he go along.
Suddenly, screams came from not far away.
Shen Wang and Shen Sui immediately froze and ran towards the direction of the shout.
Before leaving, Shen Wang reminded A Chu to be careful.
Achu agreed, but then ran after Shen Wang.
At the end of the village, there is an abandoned house that has mostly collapsed.
The house was clearly uninhabitable, so no one went in to check it.
Two of the braver medical students, thinking that there might be zombies inside, went in to check.
As soon as they stepped into the yard, their ankles got tangled up.
They looked down and thought they had encountered a snake.
However, the next second, they were suddenly lifted up and hung in mid-air.
When Chen Wang and the others arrived, two dark green, tentacle-like things were trying to pierce the hearts of the two medical students.
Before he could even think about what it was, Chen Wang unleashed a gust of wind that severed the two 'tentacles'.
Immediately following, an ice blade slashed through the air, severing the 'tentacles' that were wrapped around the ankles of the two medical students.
The two fell to the ground, but Yue Tingsong and the others reacted quickly and dragged them back.
"What is this thing?!" the crowd exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with fear.
In the dilapidated house before them, green creatures taller than the house itself were growing.
It is entirely dark green, and if you look closely, you can see small leaves on it.
“It’s a mutated plant,” Shen Wang said coldly.
So those aren't tentacles, they're vines!
When the end times come, not only will people mutate, but plants and animals will also change.
Along the way, they had seen mutated plants and animals.
But they had never seen such a dangerous mutated plant before!
"The people and zombies in this village might all have been eaten by it!"
"What should we do? Let's run! It looks terrifying!"
Lin Xiangheng is a wood-type ability user, and his feelings are even stronger when he looks at this mutated plant.
He even felt that this mutated plant wanted to eat him more than it wanted to eat other people!
"Boss?" Lin Xiangheng looked at Chen Wang, waiting for him to make a decision.
Looking at the giant mutated plant swaying its vines, Shen Wang instructed Yue Tingsong and Zhang Jingzhu, "Take Dr. Wang and the others and retreat outside the village!"
It was getting dark, and there were even more unknown dangers ahead if we left.
This village clearly only has this mutated plant.
Once that's resolved, this place should be safe.
Moreover, Shen Wang also wanted to see just how powerful this mutated plant was.
He turned to look at Achu behind him: "You come out too."
Achu shook her head, her face showing fear, but she still said firmly, "Brother Chenwang, I'll stay!"
Before Shen Wang could say anything, she said, "I can't keep hiding behind you forever!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wang fell silent.
In this apocalyptic world, he was confident that he could protect Achu.
But there's always a chance of something going wrong.
What should she do if she encounters danger one day and I'm not there?
The only guarantee is that she can become strong enough to protect herself!
Having figured this out, Chenwang stopped letting Achu leave.
He looked at her and said, "Take care of yourself."
Achu nodded vigorously.
Shen Sui, standing beside him, disagreed somewhat.
In his opinion, Achu was too weak and needed protection; how could she stay here!
However, the mutated plant wasn't about to give them time to stand and chat; it had already attacked with its arm-thick vines.
Shen Wang has already rushed past.
Lin Xiangheng, Maiya, and Xu Da also rushed forward.
Chen followed closely behind.
However, the few people in the following team hesitated to move forward.
They've killed zombies, but they've never killed mutated plants!
They are afraid of unknown dangers.
No one noticed that Achu had suddenly acquired an axe.
Over there, Shen Wang and his group were already locked in combat with the mutated plants.
The mutated plant has many vines, and it can regenerate quickly even after being cut down.
Several vines quietly approached the group of people following Chen Sui.
It wasn't until a vine was almost wrapped around one of the people's neck that it was discovered.
"Ah! Watch out!"
A gust of wind swept past the man's back, and there was a sound of something being cut in half.
The vine that almost wrapped around a person's neck was cut off by Achu with an axe.
Achu looked at the group of people and said, "If you're scared, go outside the village."
Those without superpowers hesitated for a few seconds, then scrambled away.
Those with special abilities hesitated for a moment, then decided to muster their courage and join the battle.
After all, they're all part of the male lead's team; not all of them are cowards.
Achu didn't get very close; she only swung her axe when the vines were about to attack her.
However, she was considering something.
The mutated plant in front of us was mentioned in the story.
This is a third-order mutant plant.
Given that most superhumans are only at the first level, a third-level mutated plant is already quite powerful.
Furthermore, starting from the second stage, both mutated plants and zombies produced something called a crystal core.
Crystal nuclei contain energy, and the higher the crystal level, the higher the energy.
This third-order mutated plant naturally also has a crystal core inside its body.
In the original storyline, the female lead, Song Jiahe, arrived here first and solved the problem of obtaining crystal cores from the mutated plants.
She ate the crystal core of this mutated plant and awakened her wood-type superpower.
Ah Chu thought to herself, since we've already run into each other...
Should she take the crystal core of this mutated plant?
Does doing this mean stealing the female lead's opportunity?
Ah Chu quickly made up her mind.
In the story, isn't Song Jiahe also relying on her rebirth to steal other people's opportunities all the way?
In that case, first come, first served!
After thinking this through, Achu picked up his axe and prepared to go around to the back of the mutated plant.
While the mutated plants were overwhelmed by Shen Wang and his group's attacks, they launched a surprise attack!
