Huang Zhao spoke in a calm tone, not wanting them to worry too much.
"Our neighborhood may have been taken over by a powerful mutated creature."
"Daqiang has lost contact, and we don't know the situation inside."
"how so..."
Ning Chuxia covered her mouth in surprise.
I thought the most difficult part of the journey, crossing over a thousand kilometers, was about to end.
They can reunite with their families.
Unexpectedly, just one step away from success, there was still an unknown obstacle blocking the way.
Huang Zhao reached out and touched Ning Chuxia's soft, long hair, comforting her:
"It's alright, I can sense that Daqiang is still relatively safe."
"My subconscious is connected to me and has the same logic for behavior and action as me. If there is a problem, it will definitely contact me first."
"We'll be there in about an hour. Our combination is invincible!"
"Even if something does stand in our way, we can easily overcome it!"
Hearing Huang Zhao's words, Ning Chuxia's sadness subsided slightly.
She knew Huang Zhao was just as anxious as she was, but she didn't show it at the moment. Instead, she kept comforting herself.
This touched her somewhat. She turned her head to look at Huang Zhao, who was gazing ahead, and nodded in response.
"Yes, I believe you."
"Don't worry, Sister Chuxia, we'll always be with you!"
"Indeed, the city lord's strength is evident to all. Let's patiently wait for this final step to be taken!"
Following the navigation, Huang Zhao chose the route that led directly to the north of Guangzhou at the fork in the road.
It wasn't that Daqiang was going too fast and didn't change direction to head towards the south of Guangzhou.
......
Within the red mist, Huang Zhao maneuvered Daqiang to quickly circle around, and soon they reaped the rewards.
The creatures that appeared before Huang Zhao were somewhat frightening.
What appeared in his mental perception area was a group of wandering zombies.
If it were just zombies, Huang Zhao wouldn't feel anything at all; they were everywhere, and he wouldn't be bothered at all.
However, each of these zombies had a bright red flower on its head.
"This is... a kapok flower?"
Huang Zhao was somewhat unsure, after all, this was quite different from the kapok flowers he often picked when he was a child.
Growing from the flesh on the zombie's forehead, the five petals of the kapok flower are covered with sharp, dense teeth.
With each contraction and expansion, its ferocity is fully revealed.
The instant Daqiang approached and his mental perception covered him.
The zombies remained unresponsive and continued to wander, while all the kapok flowers immediately turned towards Huang Zhao.
Even though the flowers didn't have eyes, Huang Zhao could clearly feel that he was being watched.
"Could this red mist area be emanating from a mutated kapok tree?"
Huang Zhao seemed to be deep in thought, but did not stop and continued to rush forward.
Huang Zhao's mental perception area was filled with these zombies with kapok flowers growing on their foreheads.
The horde of corpses was countless, stretching as far as the eye could see.
He wielded Daqiang's sharp forelimbs and chopped off the heads of more than ten zombies in a row.
Huang Zhao used his telekinesis to control the two zombie heads and leave the place.
Let's investigate the differences between these zombies covered in kapok flowers and ordinary zombies.
There's no way to communicate with the zombies; we need to look for any human survivors in this red fog.
After Huang Zhao killed the zombie, it was as if he had stirred up an anthill.
The zombies, who had barely reacted to its approach, immediately went berserk.
The kapok flower growing on the zombie's forehead was spread wide, seemingly roaring angrily.
The wandering zombies all surged toward Huang Zhao, quiet yet somewhat uniform.
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Huang Zhao manipulated Da Qiang to quickly leave this place.
"Even if you had four legs, you still couldn't catch up with Daqiang!"
The zombies that appeared here were mostly level zero and posed no threat to Daqiang.
After escaping the horde of zombies, Huang Zhao focused his attention on the two heads he had collected.
The zombie was dead, but the two kapok flowers on its forehead were still opening and closing, seemingly cursing Huang Zhao.
"These days, everything has its own wisdom, and everything has its own language."
"The profession of translator in the post-apocalyptic world should be quite popular."
Huang Zhao's spiritual perception penetrated into one of the heads and immediately discovered something was wrong.
The energy crystal inside the zombie's head is gone!
Where does the energy that powers the zombies come from?
When Huang Zhao's solid spiritual perception enveloped the two chattering kapok flowers, they finally quieted down.
The energy crystal that should have been on the back of the zombie's head had now been moved into the kapok flower.
Even in another skull, Huang Zhao discovered an energy crystal that was being transferred toward the kapok flower.
It is stored in the roots that extend from the kapok flower and penetrate deep into the back of the zombie's brain.
If the transfer is successful, this zombie will also become a crystalless zombie.
"It devours energy crystals and manipulates zombies; each flower bud has its own independent consciousness."
Huang Zhao sensed that things were getting increasingly complicated.
Without a doubt, this area of red mist should be the territory of a mutated kapok tree.
Moreover, this mutated plant is a mutated organism with a focus on mental abilities.
Have the human survivors who ventured deep into it also been controlled by it?
Or have they all become its fertilizer?
Thinking of this, Huang Zhao felt extremely anxious.
I can't wait to plunge into the heart of the red mist and fight the mutated kapok tree.
However, he knew that relying solely on his divided consciousness and immense power would likely be insufficient to defeat a mutated plant with a higher level of superpowers than himself.
Just like Huang Zhao, who at level four could only separate a single consciousness.
He also didn't believe that the kapok flower monster could split into countless sub-consciousnesses, with each kapok flower under its surveillance.
"We still need to learn more about this red fog area."
The fact that the mutated kapok trees have spread so widely suggests that human survivors must have discovered them and taken some action.
Huang Zhao decided to search outside the central area of the red fog first.
It's easy to tell whether you're close to the center area. For those with a mental constitution, there will be a slight sensation as soon as you get close, so just stop in time.
If no findings are found, leave the red mist and report the information back to the main body.
The two mental shocks directly destroyed the two kapok flowers.
Huang Zhao maneuvered Daqiang to fly about 100 meters into the air, circling around as he gradually searched for it.
......
It was about 10 kilometers away from Huang Zhaofen's consciousness.
This location is also within the red fog range, but it has just gathered there, and the red fog has not yet stabilized.
"Xiangyang, do you really want to go in there?"
"The commander has decided to bombard this area with missiles and will no longer allow the red fog to continue to spread."
"There are many of our compatriots inside. If we bomb them directly, they will all die!"
"But this red mist has the power to bewitch people..."
"Have you all forgotten what superpower I awakened?"
