The process was quick; everyone was focused on their tasks, and it didn't take long before they entered the county town.
"Hmm, it seems like someone's been here." Shao Jie, who was about to get to work, sensed something was wrong.
Yu Yanbin gestured for the people behind him to stop. "Yes, it looks like someone walked by and then cleaned it up."
Cheng Shaolin looked around and said, "It should be. You see, the situations around us are all different."
At this moment, everyone stopped and looked around.
"Yes, the plants on the road have all been cleared away. The ones in the distance and over there are still growing freely. Many of the houses, yards, and roadsides here don't have any plants climbing them."
Li Xiao looked around and found that there was indeed a problem.
"Yes, someone must have been here and cleaned it up. They didn't go over there, so they didn't clean it up."
Li Xiao nodded, "Yes."
Cheng Shaolin lit the gathered broken branches and walked over to Yu Yanbin, saying, "We should still be careful. Since someone is coming, we might run into them. Be cautious."
Yu Yanbin still vividly remembers the team he encountered before. "Yeah, we need to be careful. Who knows what kind of people they might be?"
"Alright, that's the situation. Be careful and pay attention to your positioning."
Everyone agreed with Yu Yanbin's words and secretly became wary.
Yu Yanbin beckoned Shao Jie over, "There are very few obstacles on this road now, why don't you go ahead and take a look?"
Shao Jie nodded, then turned around and disappeared in a flash.
They didn't find any clearing along the roadside from the direction they came from, nor did they find anything after coming down the slope, so they must have come from another road.
That road might lead out of the base. The situation at the base is complicated, so it's best to be extra careful.
"Alright, Shao Jie has gone ahead to check the situation. Let's just follow behind him." Yu Yanbin urged everyone to continue forward.
The team then set off to continue their previous work.
I don't know if it's because no one has been here recently, or if these plants are growing too fast, but the broken parts have already grown back.
It's just a bit thinner and sparser than the unbroken section. It's quite obvious and easy to distinguish.
"Xiaoxiao, take a look, are there any zombies?" Cheng Shaolin asked Li Xiao, who was following behind him.
"Yes, but not many, and none of them are high-grade. But be careful, there are mutated plants ahead, I don't know which kind they are," Li Xiao said seriously.
"Hmm? A mutated plant? Which direction is it in?" Yu Yanbin asked, turning around.
"It's not on this road, it's over there. This road is the main road, right? Let me see. On the map, this road is to the left. Oh, the roads here are all individual, they're easy to find. It's on the left, over there, two rows ahead."
Li Xiao pointed with her finger.
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing and roughly understood the direction.
"The energy is more abundant over there, and less in other places."
"What, there are more? A lot?" Tian Tian exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone else looked over, and they were all surprised.
“Yes.” Li Xiao nodded seriously. “There are many, but they are not zombies. So be careful.”
Everyone exchanged glances and became cautious.
"Alright, that's the situation now. Everyone needs to be extra careful. Xiaoxiao, remind them when we get there."
"Yeah, I understand."
"Alright, let's move on."
Shao Jie returned shortly afterward.
Everyone was happy to see Shao Jie return. Yu Yanbin asked first, "How did it go? Did you find anything?"
"Part of this road has been cleared, but not all the other side roads leading from this road have been cleared. Some of them are definitely deserted."
Yu Yanbin nodded. "Yes, is there any more?"
"Yes, I noticed that some plants seem to be alive, and those places seem to be avoided by everyone."
After speaking, Shao Jie looked at Yu Yanbin and Cheng Shaolin who were walking over.
“Those places must be the places Xiaoxiao was talking about, the places with mutated plants.”
Cheng Shaolin agreed, "Shao Jie, you've worked hard. Don't run around anymore. There should be mutated plants in those places. Let's take a look when we get there."
"Okay, those are mutated plants? I was wondering why they looked like they were alive."
"Well, we'll know what it's like when we get there."
"Okay, Xiaoxiao already knows, so I don't need to run around." Shao Jie looked at Xiaoxiao and said with a grin.
"Come on, take a break." Li Xiao beckoned.
Shao Jie ran over happily and whispered something to Li Xiao.
The others found it amusing.
“This place is basically surrounded by plants. It looks like there will be a lot of mutations. We don’t know how powerful they will be yet. What do you think we should do?” Yu Yanbin grinned, looking at the lush greenery all around him, unsure whether to continue.
"What? Can't make up your mind?" Cheng Shaolin looked at him with amusement.
"The situation is unclear. Are you sure you can handle it? Xiaoxiao said there are many small ones, and some large ones are here, but we haven't found any elsewhere. If we're not sure, then we're out of luck. Also, look, there are mountains ahead."
"Yes, you're right. But have you thought about what will happen if you're afraid to face these things now? The longer it goes on, the greater the chance of mutation."
"Also, this is a great place to train, don't you think?" Cheng Shaolin tilted his head and looked at him with his arms crossed.
Yu Yanbin's eyes widened immediately.
"Tch, do you understand now?" Cheng Shaolin raised an eyebrow at him.
Yu Yanbin laughed, "Sigh, you're the only one who understands. I didn't even realize it at first. Luckily you reminded me, you're right."
Seeing that Yu Yanbin had figured it out, Cheng Shaolin didn't continue. A smart person understands immediately.
Yu Yanbin looked around at the various plants and trees that were climbing and twisting, and suddenly smiled.
"Let's go, let's go further ahead and see what the whiter plants that Xiaoxiao mentioned look like."
As the captain finished speaking, everyone perked up and followed behind him.
"There's a small one ahead, watch out."
"Where? Be more specific." Yu Yanbin stopped in his tracks.
"It's on the left, in the front yard." Li Xiao looked ahead, and there was a rose bush in the yard.
The pink flowers are very vibrant, with extremely large petals, almost the size of a rice bowl.
"It looks so good!" Tian Tian exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah, it's very beautiful."
Everyone exclaimed in similar surprise.
The two-story building was surrounded by pink flowers, with greenery covering the entire building and large pink flowers dotting the landscape.
It's dreamlike, like magic in a fairyland.
The small building is no longer visible; only green vines and leaves remain, along with flowers of all sizes in full bloom.
This is a castle overwhelmed by flowers; the courtyard, the rooftops, and the walls are all covered with roses.
The entire area in front of and behind the house is decorated in these two colors, with nothing else.
