The dense forest blocked out the dim light, and the sweltering heat made people restless and sweat profusely.
"What kind of weather is this! Where are we going to find honeysuckle? The honeysuckle has mutated a long time ago, who knows if it still has the same effects?"
A superhuman wearing a combat uniform from the B City base was wary of the mutated plants around him while carefully searching among them and making sarcastic remarks.
"Keep searching! Too many people in our base have been suffering from heatstroke lately, and the lab is eager to develop some effective medicines." Another older superhuman, the team leader, searched while cautiously looking around, and didn't forget to reassure his team members.
“That’s right. If we can make some special medicines, it will make our missions easier, which will benefit us.” A short-haired female superhuman parted the grass in front of her to examine the plants underneath.
"But after the honeysuckle mutates, it probably won't grow like it used to. Even if we have a picture, we might not be able to find it."
"First, look for it according to the diagram provided by the lab. If you can't find it, then we'll see."
This team of superhumans consists of ten people, all of whom are experienced superhumans who have been on many missions. At this moment, they are all looking down at the ground, searching for a plant that resembles honeysuckle.
Just then, a thick cloud of smoke suddenly filled the surrounding area. The squad leader immediately became alert and shouted, "Everyone hold your breath and be on alert!"
The superhumans immediately held their breath, and then a metal shield appeared around them, enveloping the entire team.
"Who!" The squad leader had just shouted when he heard a "thump" behind him, and the female superhuman had fallen to the ground.
Then, one after another, the other team members collapsed to the ground. The squad leader, supporting himself with the metal shield, anxiously went forward to check the breathing of these people and found that they had only fainted and were not in any danger.
Although the shield could withstand the attack, it was still enveloped by the smoke from before. The smoke was extremely powerful; even though there was very little smoke inside the shield, they couldn't withstand it.
He quickly took out his communicator, trying to contact the base and call for help, but his vision began to blur.
Then the communicator in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud." In the instant he fell, he saw a man easily break through his metal shield. A woman was with him, and she was walking slowly towards them with a dangerous smile on her face. Then everything went black, and he lost consciousness.
In the sky, a soaring eagle glides swiftly across the night sky, its eagle eyes noticing the commotion below.
The woman also looked up sharply, but seeing that it was just a mutated beast, she didn't think much of it and looked down again to examine the superhumans.
After confirming that there were no problems, she waved to the bushes next to her, and a dozen or so ordinary survivors immediately emerged from the bushes.
Under the woman's direction, they lifted the several superhumans onto a wooden plank and then quickly pulled the plank away.
The eagle in the sky flapped its wings a few times and flew away like an arrow towards the B City base.
Once they reached the forest ten kilometers away from the B City base, the eagle swiftly swooped down from the sky and landed lightly on a huge mutated tree. Just as the mutated tree was about to extend its branches to attack, the mutated eagle began to shrink and transform rapidly, instantly turning into Lin Ruo's appearance.
The mutated tree's branch immediately stopped; it recognized the figure! Wasn't this the woman who often roamed the mutated forest, stealing mutated trees? It immediately retracted the branch and began to play dead!
Luckily, it acted slowly, otherwise it would have become a missing plant too. Those plants must have had their cores dug out by that terrifying woman. It must protect itself.
The mutated animals waiting to hunt under the tree stopped in their tracks when they saw the mutated eagle suddenly transform into a human. This person must be very powerful; there was an extremely dangerous aura about him!
After Lin Ruo removed her mimicry, she saw that all the mutated animals around her had run away. She looked around silently, feeling that she was particularly disliked by these mutated plants and animals.
They used to rush towards her enthusiastically, but now they always shrink back, just like when the mutated sea beast came ashore.
She nimbly jumped down from the mutated tree, casually uprooting what she thought was a well-disguised tree and storing it in her spatial stone box, always adhering to the principle of never returning home empty-handed.
She slowly walked towards the B City base, her mind still replaying the scene she had just witnessed. She scratched her chin slightly. Why did these people capture these ability users alive? If they wanted to eat them, wouldn't it be easier to just finish them off with a stab? Weren't they afraid that these people would wake up and resist on the way?
The woman's ability was rather unusual; it seemed to be a kind of poisonous smoke, which was quite rare.
However, she has recently encountered cannibals quite frequently. She only goes out twice a month, but she always manages to run into them.
Moreover, these cannibals' appetites are growing, and they've even started targeting the superhuman teams at the B City base, seemingly unafraid of retaliation from the B City base.
She shook her head, putting aside the gossip in her mind. Now she was only concerned about whether she could sell her poison sacs. After nearly a month, the researchers should be able to figure out the effects of the poison sacs.
With a thought, she activated her spatial domain and vanished from her spot.
...
At this moment, Chen Yu was sitting in his office, developing the latest training plan for his superhumans. Next to his desk was a communication console, where a liaison officer was operating the equipment to contact various superhuman teams.
