Shen Jing noticed Vassi's unusual behavior.
She patted Vassi's neck and patiently explained, "There will definitely be more high-level mutant animals in the future."
But there's no use worrying now; only real combat can improve their ability level!
Shen Jing used her special ability to detect and set up a perimeter, then had Vasily get out of the car as well. Huang Simiao didn't back down after hearing Shen Jing's words; she roughly understood what Shen Jing and Vasily meant—this time they might really encounter a high-level mutated plant!
Actually, everything is normal. If she wasn't afraid of Shen Jing's objection, she would have been willing to knowingly go into danger!
But Huang Simiao knew that Shen Jing would probably tell her and He Qing to focus on finding the transparent crystal core...
There's nothing we can do; they're still too weak.
Shen Jing did indeed think so; she wanted Wasibufang to try using ordinary mutated plants on them.
She then went to find the high-level mutated animal that Vasily had mentioned.
When night has completely fallen.
From deep within the forest came a restless rustling sound.
The survivors lost their earlier enthusiasm and returned to their vehicles without prior arrangement.
Those on night watch climbed onto the roof of the car.
They did not notice the three people and the dog quietly leaving.
In the treacherous dense forest, they walked very slowly, and after half an hour they had not gone very far.
According to the map, we are still some distance from the place we just detected.
It wasn't until you actually walked out of the camp and into the forest that you realized how terrifying the unknown in the darkness truly was.
Fortunately, Shen Jing's ability to detect was always active, preventing them from accidentally falling into a trap set by the mutated vines. However, the further they went, the more the rustling, restless sounds they had heard earlier disappeared. This eerie calm was not a good sign!
As the mutated vines completely blocked out the light, He Qing's palms emitted flames, using the faint light to illuminate the path ahead.
Just then, Shen Jing heard Vassi bark in alarm and run in front of her to block her!
Shen Jing looked in the direction of Vassi's grimacing face, and her supernatural detection extended into the depths of the darkness.
She made a gesture behind her.
He Qing and Huang Simiao were instructed to suspend their operations for the time being.
The energy fluctuation that terrified Vassi moved too fast; it was probably even faster than Vassi, who possessed speed abilities!
However, Shen Jing also discovered...
That energy wasn't directed at them.
Having realized this, Shen Jing decided not to act rashly for the time being.
"The opponent is very strong. If we encounter them head-on, we may not be able to escape unscathed. Let's wait and see."
"Woof woof!" I want to go!
Shen Jing slipped a crystal core from her backpack to Vasily and said, "Don't even think about it. You don't stand a chance at your current level."
Their abilities had been stuck at level 6 for some time, meaning that a mutant even higher than level 6 had appeared ahead. This sent a chill down Shen Jing's spine. Mutated plants and animals in nature were more adapted to the apocalypse than humans, and they evolved much faster!
He Qing stared intently at Shen Jing's back. He could roughly gauge Huang Simiao's strength, but he couldn't see through Shen Jing's.
That means she's stronger than both of them, and by a significant margin!
If they encounter high-level zombies in the future... they will still need Shen Jing's protection...
Thinking of this, He Qing clenched his fists in frustration, feeling depressed about his powerlessness!
Huang Simiao glanced at He Qing, but didn't go over to comfort him. She also wanted to rush ahead of Shen Jing and charge into battle with her!
In just a short while, that energy moved away from their location.
Shen Jing didn't use her special ability to get too close, maintaining a safe distance, so she couldn't see clearly what kind of mutant it was.
They waited in the same spot for about five more minutes.
Shen Jingcai said to them, "Let's go, but it would be better if we left in the opposite direction."
Neither He Qing nor Huang Simiao had any objections.
The highest level here right now is probably Shen Jing. They guessed that even Vassi's ability level was higher than theirs!
They continued walking in the opposite direction for a short while.
Shen Jing discovered that the terrain here was vast, and there wouldn't be many obstacles to escape.
It contains many ordinary mutated vines and mutated king cobras.
For example, if a person with superpowers is bitten by a mutated snake, will they die? The answer is yes.
After all, the mutated vine strangulation technique isn't much stronger than the king cobra, but it can still kill a human in a matter of minutes!
The rustling sound of mollusks crawling made Huang Simiao's body tremble slightly.
"Huang Simiao, remember you're a superhuman!"
After saying this, Shen Jing led Vasily to the side.
They looked around warily, but remained unmoved by the snake that was slowly approaching Huang Simiao and He Qing.
Huang Simiao nervously held the pistol, but failed to aim it correctly after several attempts.
"Bang!"
He Qing was the first to open the gun. Although it was equipped with a silencer, the King Cobra got angry and started swishing its tail.
That sound was made by a king cobra!
Just as it was about to charge at He Qing, Huang Simiao immediately stepped in and knocked the King Cobra to the ground again.
This time she didn't hesitate.
He stretched out his palm and released a thin vine.
It just looks obviously malnourished.
Even though she absorbed a lot of crystal cores during the day, she still hasn't been able to sprout anything...
The king cobra flicked its tongue and began to slide rapidly toward Huang Simiao's expression.
He Qing reacted immediately upon seeing it!
He strode up to Huang Simiao and burst into flames with a "boom"!
Shen Jing chuckled. He Qing's superpowers were indeed only unleashed to their fullest potential when he wanted to protect others.
This flame should be at the first-tier level. It seems to have absorbed quite a few crystal cores. If it gets a push tonight, it might just advance successfully!
"Bang! Bang!" The king cobra was roasted to perfection.
And you know what? The snake meat actually smells pretty good!
He Qingzhen actually brought an insulated bag.
I never expected you to be this kind of base commander...
So you walked away just now to go back and get the bag?
After noticing Shen Jing's gaze, He Qing smiled apologetically: "The base's subsidies are barely enough for the team. If possible, try to give them some meat and vegetables. It's not easy for everyone to come out here, right?"
The western base's central area looks glamorous, but it's all just a facade.
Even those powerful and wealthy people who clung to the central area began to struggle financially.
They just couldn't bring themselves to earn points with the other survivors, and they had already spent a lot of resources to support their private team! But now was the perfect opportunity for He Qing to take them down one by one.
So Shen Jing was curious as to why He Qing was still so tolerant of them.
But she won't interfere too much.
When the people in the central area can't hold on any longer, the cleaver of reckoning won't spare any of them!
Seeing such a frugal base manager.
What could Shen Jing say?
She had no choice but to point to another snake that was slowly crawling towards her and say, "Please."
