Chapter 51 Chapter 51 "I can tell you anything you want to know...
With a "crack", a crack appeared on the neck of the intermediate mutant in front of him, revealing the flesh and blood inside that seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist.
It really works!
Just as Ye Mian pulled back the hatchet and prepared to chop a few more times, the intermediate mutant seemed to finally realize that he was in an extremely unfair battle, and immediately turned around and ran away without paying any attention to Ye Mian.
"Want to run?"
Ye Mian chased after it without thinking, but she was like teleporting and would always stop at a fixed location, but the mutant was always moving and extremely flexible, causing it to be half a beat slower every time it swung its knife after catching up.
Even if you run ahead of it in advance, it will suddenly turn around or climb to a higher place to dodge you. It has a strong desire to survive.
The Mushroom King had already used up all his strength in producing so many mushrooms, and there was no way he could make them grow any bigger. As a result, the intermediate mutant tried to swallow the mushrooms in various parts of his body while escaping, and his condition visibly improved.
We can't delay it any longer. It knows too much. If we let it escape, today's plan will be completely ruined.
Thinking of this, Ye Mian switched the hatchet to her left hand and pulled up the sleeve of her right hand. The wild Panax notoginseng that had been wrapped around her arm slightly stretched out its branches to show goodwill to her.
"Okay Sanqi, it's your turn!"
After saying that, Ye Mian dodged to the front again, then turned around and waved his right hand vigorously: "Entangle!"
The emerald green branches and leaves immediately fell to the ground, and before the intermediate mutant changed direction, they quickly spread and wrapped around its legs. The usually well-retracted thorns were all exposed, silently piercing into the wounds left after the mushrooms were pulled out.
Although the mutants were not hurt, they still slowed down its movements a little. Ye Mian had successfully predicted the size of its steps by chasing it all the way. Now he predicted its position again and arrived before it. By the time it reacted, the hatchet had already chopped it down.
This blow was more powerful and accurate than the first one. The mutant, which had no reaction after being shot before, let out a painful groan and paused.
Ye Mian did not waste the opportunity to pull out the hatchet and swing it again. Instead, he tripped it and threw it over his shoulder, using the strength of its struggle to throw it heavily to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, she decisively drew her gun and shot it three times in the neck and chest.
After three loud bangs, the surroundings became extremely quiet. However, there was a buzzing in Ye Mian's ears. She gasped and maintained a confrontation posture until she was sure that the intermediate mutant on the ground was completely silent. Then she slowly relaxed.
Just when Ye Mian's tinnitus got a little better, the system text box suddenly popped up.
[Your "Wild Panax Notoginseng" has evolved successfully, and its attributes have been updated! [Click to view]]
Um?
Ye Mian subconsciously looked down and saw that the wild Panax notoginseng was still wrapped around the legs of the intermediate mutant. Some branches and leaves had even penetrated deeply into its skin, entangled with its flesh and blood.
Rather than wanting to help hurt it, it felt more like it was sucking its blood.
Although Wild Panax notoginseng is inherently aggressive, its evolution into a humanoid mutant was still somewhat beyond Ye Mian's expectations.
And if it can, what about the Mushroom King?
Ye Mian took out the wilted Mushroom King from his pocket and tentatively pushed it towards the intermediate mutant on the ground, but it didn't react other than shrinking a little.
"All right."
Putting it back into his pocket, Ye Mian clicked on the updated properties of Yesanqi to check.
【Name：Panax notoginseng
Strength: 3 → 5
Skills: [Spray] [Grazing] [Entangle] [Toughness]
Features: Can grow rapidly and is good at integrating into the environment]
"Huh?" Ye Mian blinked. Apart from the increase of two points in combat power and the addition of a skill [Tenacity], why did the characteristics seem to have changed as well?
It was clearly timid before, but now it has become able to grow rapidly?
However, Ye Mian looked at the Panax notoginseng again. It was indeed longer and more luxuriant than before. Could a mid-level mutant have nourished it so much?
[Toughness] must have been drawn from the mutant, which can make its branches and leaves indestructible, and make it more difficult for the enemy to break free when entangled.
That’s good, but… Ye Mian coughed lightly: “You’d better clean yourself up before coming over.”
She didn't want a bloody plant tangled around her hands.
The wild Panax notoginseng shook its branches and leaves, as if to say that it understood.
Ye Mian walked aside to take a short rest and refilled the magazine with bullets. The hatchet was already a little shaky after the two cuts and could no longer be used. He could only use the pistol which had plenty of bullets.
Her shooting skills were average, having only played the game a few times. Fortunately, the weight, recoil, and sound were all restored 100%, so it was quite convenient for her to use it this time. There were no other problems except for the lack of earplugs.
The Mushroom King is done for, but fortunately there is still the evolved Wild Panax notoginseng to help. If we try to shoot at close range then it shouldn't be a big problem.
The only problem was that Wen Yuan was too generous to her. The magazine and the box of spare bullets contained a total of 100 rounds. At a time like this, ammunition was almost more important and scarce than supplies.
In addition to giving up the three rhenium crystals, she also had to repay him well.
After the system prompt box popped up indicating that the rhenium crystal had been automatically picked up, the well-fed Wild Panax notoginseng obediently shook off the residue on the branches and leaves, and then carefully approached Ye Mian.
After looking at its intricate petals that looked a bit enchanting, Ye Mian decided not to let it stick to his arm anymore, but instead lowered his sleeve to create a layer of separation.
"From now on, you have to ask for my permission before eating."
After saying this with a slight warning, Ye Mian went straight back to the fork in the road where Lu Ning and Da Hei ambushed him.
Lu Ning has already eliminated some of the low-level mutants and is currently dealing with the two mid-level mutants. The rest are left to Dahei to intercept.
Fortunately, this road is not wide and is crowded with buildings, so the low-level mutants that win by numbers cannot take advantage, so the situation is still under control for the time being.
With the addition of Ye Mian and Yesanqi, the situation that was originally barely suppressed soon became a one-sided situation.
However, it still took a lot of time and effort to eliminate all of these mutants. Lu Ning and Da Hei were not only bruised and battered, but also exhausted.
The former was able to stand steadily by leaning against the wall, but the latter simply fell down, with all three heads breathing heavily at the same time.
After handing Lu Ning a bottle of corn juice squeezed in the morning and feeding Dahei some fresh vegetables and fruits, Ye Mian picked up all the rhenium stones on the ground.
"It seems that some low-level mutants have escaped. Will this affect the plan?"
After the remaining two intermediate mutants were dealt with, the low-level mutants instantly became chaotic as if they had lost their backbone. Only a part of them continued to rush forward according to their instincts, while the rest ran off the track.
Although it is a question whether they can successfully return to the base camp given their intelligence, it is indeed better not to let any fish slip through the net.
Ye Mian thought about it and said, "I'll go look for him. You and Dahei should take a good rest first. We will have a fierce battle later."
"Okay." Lu Ning really had no strength left, so he sat down on the side of the road and relied on corn juice to regain his strength bit by bit.
After leaving some food for her, Ye Mian quickly moved to a high place and looked around, trying to find those escaped low-level mutants.
After searching for a while, Ye Mian did find something, but they were not alive and kicking. Instead, they were corpses of mutants scattered everywhere, and there were also a few evolvers who had just retreated to a safe point.
“Finally they can’t sit still anymore.” Ye Mian raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling satisfied and relieved—no matter which group of people they were, they did not act rashly or impulsively, but planned to join or help depending on the situation.
However, in this desperate state of being almost captive, the group that can remain calm either has a cautious leader like Gong Lan, or a companion who can use his brains, otherwise it would be difficult for them to survive for so long.
That was why, even though she had fired so many shots just now, they just kept watching and waited until they were sure there was no major risk before taking action.
Unfortunately, the same trick can only be used twice at most. If you want to let all the people trapped in the town escape, you must face the advanced mutant that has never appeared before.
But if the overall strength is not enough to resist it, then you can only rely on luck.
Suppressing unnecessary thoughts, Ye Mian returned to the main road below and spent about ten minutes finding the next drivable car.
Thinking that Lu Ning and Dahei still needed time to recover, she did not rush to get in the car. Instead, she leaned against the side of the car, observing the situation around her while taking out a still hot baked sweet potato from the system warehouse and started eating.
Although [Fighting] only served to increase her strength, using it continuously was still very exhausting. Corn juice was effective, but she still needed something more substantial.
"call……"
After taking a bite of the fragrant and moderately sweet roasted sweet potato, Ye Mian felt his tense body suddenly relax. He no longer felt like he was in danger at any time. It was more like he was going out for a picnic.
So when she noticed someone approaching quietly, she didn't pay much attention and continued to savor the roasted sweet potato in her hand.
"Um, hello?"
Ye Mian raised her eyes and looked at the person who greeted her.
He was a young man in his twenties, with dyed blond hair and delicate features. The restraint on his face formed a contrast with his rebellious dress, and the desire in his eyes was overflowing.
Of course, it was the roasted sweet potato in her hand.
After seeing the information he displayed clearly, Ye Mian couldn't help but stand up a little straighter.
[? ? ? (Evolver), Skill: [Sprint+], he is always on the run, fast and can't stop]
[He admires and envies you very much]
This was the first time she had seen an evolver upgrade his skills through his own efforts. Was it because his skills were special and could be used continuously?
"Want to eat?"
Seeing Ye Mian shaking the roasted sweet potato in his hand, the young man couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then nodded quickly and said: "I miss you so much... But don't worry, I won't eat it for nothing. I can tell you anything you want to know!"
"Whether it's the mutants or all the evolvers in this town, there's nothing I don't know!"
