Jinzi immediately became excited: "Woof woof woof woof!"
Sister is catching a cow!
Yinzi looked at Banxia expectantly: "Meow—"
Catch the cow!
Banxia had originally planned to wait for Dahei Niu to come to her, but seeing that Jinzi and Yinzi both looked impatient, she immediately changed her mind: "Get in the car!"
She took out a new RV from her spatial storage and directed Nanxing to drive towards the source of the cow's bellowing. To her surprise, the scenery along the road became more and more familiar, and the destination turned out to be the direction in which they had met the big black cow yesterday!
Beside the ruins.
The big black bull, panting heavily, stomped towards the horde of zombies while raising its head and howling loudly, trying to attract the attention of some human it had deceived.
It knows that its behavior of going back on its word is wrong, but humans have enslaved cattle for thousands of years. Why can't cattle rebel and must obediently listen to humans?
Therefore, after regaining its freedom yesterday, it broke its promise and ran away to the mountains outside the city.
But humans are more cunning than imagined, and they secretly attacked it, causing it excruciating pain.
Left with no other choice, it returned to the place where it had first met the humans, howling and begging for mercy in an attempt to attract their attention. However, instead of attracting humans, it attracted a group of zombies.
With bloodshot eyes, the big black bull charged toward the horde of zombies, sending dozens of zombies flying with each impact.
It raised its iron hooves, as big as plastic washbasins, and crushed the zombies lying on the ground into bone fragments.
"Moo moo moo!"
Where are you, humans? The cow has come to apologize!
"drop--"
The car horn sounded, and the big black bull turned around. The humans it had deceived were standing in front of the long box with their arms crossed, smiling at it.
A cat and a dog were crouching beside the human, their eyes fixed fiercely on its neck, eyes, and belly—its most vulnerable spots—as if they were ready to rip it open with their claws if it relaxed its guard.
"Moo—"
The big black ox immediately felt extremely guilty and took small, quick steps toward Banxia.
Banxia sneered upon seeing this. It seemed that this ox was not stupid, but rather too shrewd!
"You want my forgiveness?"
Seeing the smile on her face, the big black ox became a little bolder and nodded slightly.
Banxia smiled and said, "Okay, I want to eat stir-fried beef. If you let me cut several hundred kilograms of beef tenderloin, I will forgive you."
"Moo—"
The big black ox shook its head frantically, knelt on all fours, and looked at Banxia, its basketball-sized eyes brimming with tears.
Banxia showed no mercy: "I want to eat meat."
If we don't teach the big black beef a lesson, what if it runs away or turns against us when facing enemies in the future?
Anyway, it's huge, weighing at least 60 or 70 tons. Cutting off a few hundred kilograms of flesh will only hurt it a little, but it won't kill it.
The big black ox immediately lay down on the ground dejectedly. It had clearly seen on TV before that as long as an animal shed tears, no matter what mistakes it had made, humans would soften their hearts. Why was this human not playing by the rules?
Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to use our trump card to save ourselves.
The big black ox tentatively stood up, and seeing that the human hadn't pulled out the weapon that would blow open its rear end, it hurriedly picked up a palm-sized red fruit from a shop and placed it in front of Banxia.
"Energy Fruit?!"
Banxia felt a slight tremor in her heart. She picked up the fruit and examined it carefully with her supernatural ability. It was indeed an energy fruit, and a level two one at that!
Energy fruits function similarly to crystal nuclei, providing energy to mutated animals, plants, or those with supernatural abilities.
However, there are huge differences between the two.
Firstly, the crystal core contains trace amounts of zombie virus. If used without purification, it will pose a huge hidden danger to the user. In contrast, the energy fruit is free of impurities and will not cause any side effects to the user.
Secondly, the energy contained in the energy fruit is three times that of a zombie crystal core of the same level, and it has no inherent attribute, so it can be used by all types of ability users.
Finally, there's the inherent function of the energy fruit itself: it fills the stomach.
Energy fruit trees are extremely rare, and energy fruits are never sold on the market; they are completely monopolized by powerful and influential people.
Banxia knew about this thing; she had only seen it once when she was destroying the laboratory.
The Devouring Tree excitedly wrapped its branches around the big black ox, which bellowed, "Blackie, where did you pick this fruit? Is the tree still there?"
Big Black Bull cautiously glanced at Banxia, and when he saw her looking over, he quickly nodded: Here!
Banxia and Tuntian Tree were overjoyed. If they could transplant the Energy Fruit Tree into the space, they would have a continuous supply of Energy Fruit!
Banxia put the fruit into her spatial storage: "I'll forgive you this time for the sake of the fruit, but if you dare to betray me again, I will never give you a third chance!"
After saying that, he reached out and put his hand on the head of the big black bull, retracting the vines that were inside its body.
The big black ox had never felt so relaxed. It bellowed happily, lowered its head, and gestured for Banxia to sit on its back so it could help her dig up fruit trees.
Banxia glanced at her phone. It was 6:30. There was still an hour and a half until the meeting time of 8:00. She should be able to make it by riding the ox.
"Nanxing, you, Xingzi, Jinzi, and Yinzi stay here and dig for crystal cores. Tiantian and I will go over there."
There are at least several thousand zombies on the ground; it would be such a waste to leave them lying around.
"Okay, be careful."
Banxia flipped over and sat on the bull's head: "Full speed ahead!"
The big black ox immediately took off running on all fours, heading straight for the mountains outside the city.
This mountain is called Longyin Mountain, with an altitude of about 3,000 meters. As soon as the big black ox entered the mountain, it was like a fish returning to water, speeding all the way to the top of the mountain.
Banxia haphazardly smoothed her wind-blown hair, her eyes fixed on the trees on the mountaintop.
This tree is about two meters tall, with cracked bark and no leaves. If someone doesn't know its value, they would definitely mistake it for a dead tree.
But Banxia knew that wasn't the case; it was just an illusion.
The reason why the energy tree appears withered is because it transfers most of the nutrients it absorbs to the fruit, leaving only a small portion to maintain its vitality.
Banxia took out a hoe from her spatial storage and handed it to the Devouring Sky Tree: "Tiantian, you dig up the tree, and I'll supply it with energy so it won't die from the lack of adaptation after being transplanted to the spatial storage."
One person and one tree worked together to transplant the tree into the space, and then rode the ox back the way they came.
Nanxing, Jinzi, Yinzi, and Xingzi had already finished digging out the zombie crystal cores. After they met up, they hurriedly led Niu to the new base to meet up with Li Kongyuan.
The people at the base, seeing the massive black bull following behind the RV, assumed that Banxia and her companion had been attacked by the bull again, and their hearts nearly jumped out of their throats.
After Banxia explained that she had already adopted the black ox as her new pet, everyone was so envious that they almost gave her impolite looks.
The one who suffered the most was Li Kongyuan. If Zhou Wen hadn't offended Banxia, he might have been able to try to get close to her and find out how to subdue the mutated plants and animals. But now, that was impossible.
Banxia had no idea how much Li Kongyuan regretted it, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. After all, their employment contract was only for half a month, and she and Nanxing would return to the mountain when the contract ended.
Moreover, her agreement to help find supplies was entirely due to the zombie virus antidote and the superpower potion; it had nothing to do with him personally.
