Chapter 324 Mysterious Sea
"Northern Base Announcement: Due to water shortage, this base is now recruiting a large number of water-type psychics. The base offers good treatment and free food and accommodation."
"Xilin Base Recruitment Notice: Sincerely seeking people with water and planting abilities. The base offers good benefits and is easy to assign. The terrain is high and will not be flooded. Currently, there are 300 acres of effective planting area."
"Donghuai Base Overall Relocation Announcement: Due to a lack of supplies at the base, the entire base will be relocated. The original base is for sale at a low price. Interested parties please contact us."
…
In just three days, the radio kept playing various announcements from major bases in a loop, and a large number of survivors left the bases.
A large number of survivors poured into Haicheng, and many of them took a fancy to Haicheng's geographical location and prepared to unite to seize the territory.
Some bases even chose to merge and prepare to attack Haicheng and seize resources.
A flash of light came down from the sky and landed not far from the hill, blowing up half of it.
Many plants on the hill were not spared.
Shen Junxie was setting up a stall at the foot of the mountain at the time. He watched helplessly as the artillery shells destroyed half of his mountain.
Xilin Base and Beiming Base, together with dozens of other bases large and small, are continuously firing ammunition towards Haicheng.
There was an electric fence on the stone mountain, and the shells would automatically disintegrate when they landed on it, but the earth mountain was not so lucky, and countless ammunition fell from the sky.
Li Heng observed the source of the shells from the watchtower, which was behind a hidden mound outside Haicheng. Those psychics did not dare to confront the high-level psychics in Haicheng head-on, so they attacked directly with weapons without reason.
Qi Chi gave the order expressionlessly, and all the watchtowers on the stone mountain were ready at the same time, with countless artillery shells aimed at the direction of the mound.
Wang Jun was hiding in the submarine. Seeing the earthen mound in the picture being razed to the ground, he was completely numb.
Their unprovoked firing of artillery shells also angered the scattered supernatural beings in Haicheng. A group of people came out with weapons and captured any survivors lurking near Haicheng alive.
In the picture, many people were hung upside down with their limbs tied to a carrying pole, and were carried away like pork.
The submarine was in a stinking ditch not far from the mound, disguised as a yellowish mound of earth.
There are more than 30 star-level psychics in Beiming Base and Xilin Base, but none of them dare to rashly confront Shitoushan.
Everyone knew that there were many high-level psychics on the Stone Mountain, so they set their sights on the Earth Mountain.
Currently, apart from the Stone Mountain, Haicheng has the most earthen mountain resources, and there are not many high-level psychics on the mountain.
Beiming Base is preparing to take back Tushan, while Xilin Base is planning to take over several towns as the base's entry points.
But before they could carry out their wishful thinking, they were attacked by all the superpowers in Haicheng.
Wang Jun didn't expect that his carefully planned layout would be easily broken by the other party. He was now very scared, fearing that others would notice this stinky ditch.
"This won't do. Haicheng should be hopeless. The Xisui base is remote and has good relations with the central base. But now not only is our base short of water, even water-based mutants can't condense much water, and there are few water-based zombies to be found." Cannon fodder mutant A had dry lips.
"I heard that water is sold at the night market at the foot of Stone Mountain every day, and it's not expensive. We can go there to buy water. It's just a little far away." Cannon fodder Psychic B said with some entanglement.
"Buy? That will take time to transport. Or we can move the base outside Haicheng, otherwise the round trip will be too expensive." Cannon fodder Psychic C was ready to lie down.
Wang Jun felt their argument made sense. Haicheng was the only city that wasn't short of water, and it also had many high-level psychics. He had to seize the opportunity before other bases could occupy the territory outside Haicheng.
Since we can’t seize Haicheng, we will occupy the area near Haicheng.
Things are gradually developing in the same direction as H City. Previously, H City also had the existing Ye Chao City and villa area. Later, survivors gradually joined in and formed the human gathering place of H City.
But in the end, City H was swallowed up by the black hole spreading from City A, and all the good land resources were destroyed.
Moreover, Haicheng is close to the sea, and no one is sure when the sea level will rise again and the same tragedy as in H City will occur.
No one dared to gamble.
The psychics on the stone mountain were not at all worried about this. They had many high-level psychics, and the worst that could happen was that they would just build up the stone mountain higher. They were not worried at all about the rising sea level and submerging the ground.
The party lasted for three days, some were happy and some were sad.
The couples who were successfully matched on Stone Mountain chose to go back to Xisui Base to continue developing their relationship. They bought a new batch of flying cars from the central base, so they can travel back and forth between the two places at any time.
Mu Xingchen held the cat, feeling a little regretful. Although he was quite interested in some of the supernatural beings on Stone Mountain, they hadn't responded. However, there was still time to spare.
Given the current trend of climate change, water shortage is clearly still a major problem.
There is too little water in the air, so water-based mutants cannot condense water.
The problem faced on Stone Mountain is that the water-based ability users now have to work longer hours a day. They used to only work two hours a day, but now it has become four hours.
Today's seawater is too dirty to be purified into pure drinking water.
Luo Yunjin has also been worried about this matter recently, as well as the previous incident of artificial zombies in the sky city.
For the sake of the survivors on the mountain and to better avoid being a nobody, Luo Yunjin decided to let Duan Ya and the others continue to build the mountain, expanding the Stone Mountain to an altitude of 3,000 meters based on the current 1,200 meters.
The Tree of Life is now about to mature, and the vegetation on the mountain is lush. Even at an altitude of 3,000 meters, the entire mountain is still covered with vegetation.
In addition, she is also studying the issue of plant grafting, and perhaps she can grow fruits with high water content to replace water.
In order to find new seeds, Luo Yunjin planned to travel around the entire Blue Star. Anyway, now there are mobile flying RVs, and there are more and more high-level psychics on the mountain. Even if she and Lin Xi are not there, Stone Mountain can still operate well.
Lin Zhongquan had also called through the intercom before, saying that there were many large bases on the other continent of the ocean, with people with even rarer superpowers, and they had no shortage of supplies.
There is also a kind of milk fruit, which is like a coconut, with a milk-like juice inside the shell. Breadfruit, the fruit is similar to bread.
She was very interested in these magical plants.
However, crossing the ocean is very dangerous.
Because there are many species of zombie fish in the ocean today, there are no large zombie fish in the sea area where Haicheng is located, and most of them are not of high grade.
According to Tan Shengting, their cargo ship would avoid dangerous waters when sailing on the sea, and they were not sure whether there would be other mutant species on the opposite land, so they did not dare to approach the coast at will.
Many mutated animals on the nameless islands are so ferocious that even star-level mutants dare not underestimate them.
Upon hearing that Luo Yunjin was going to other continents to look for seeds and continue to expand the scope of Stone Mountain, Tan Shengting specially called him in to discuss it in detail.
Also traveling with them was Ji Yuejiang, who was rescued by Tan Shengting on a deserted island.
"If you really want to cross the sea, you must pay attention to those deserted islands. Any land exposed to the sea is very dangerous. Moreover, on the sea surface, extreme climate will occur in some sea areas every night." Tan Shengting said in a deep voice, obviously still in fear.
"Before the apocalypse, I participated in an outdoor survival variety show. A total of eight people were thrown on an isolated island. After the apocalypse, some people turned into zombies, and some were abducted by the zombie animals on the island. My ability is quite special. I can control ships, so I built a boat myself and usually hid on the coast. Fortunately, I met Captain Tan half a month later." Ji Yuejiang was very grateful to Tan Shengting.
Lin Xi knew about this matter, but he had never heard that Ji Yuejiang was rescued on a deserted island.
"Many uninhabited islands are rich in resources, and there are indeed many mutated plants that rely on sweet fruits to lure prey." Ji Yuejiang took out his navigation notes.
The notes record the various extreme weather conditions encountered by the cargo ship during its voyage, as well as various uninhabited or deserted islands.
He gave the notebook to Luo Yunjin, "But you are all high-level star-level psychics, plus you have a flying RV, so you shouldn't be any better off than us back then, when we were clueless and stumbling around. I hope this notebook can help you."
Luo Yunjin took the notes and flipped through them roughly, and found that there were many speculations about various islands, as well as rough topographic maps.
"Thank you, this is very helpful to us!" Luo Yunjin put the notes away carefully.
Luo Yunjin was worried that going out would waste time, so he brought little Axun with him so that he could be taken care of more easily.
The nanny tabby cat and ocelot also followed. They are usually in cat mode and there is enough space in the RV to accommodate them.
"If you encounter any danger that cannot be resolved, contact the central base." Luo Yunjin said to Xuan Hongyan and Mo Lian.
Xuan Hongyan was busy running around, and the storage cabinets and boxes in the RV were filled with all kinds of supplies, taking care of everything and bringing out her motherly attributes to the extreme.
I'm traveling around this time, and it will definitely be a few months before I come back.
"There's a signal system on the RV, and I can receive the signal." Qi Chi couldn't help but say, "So if you want to contact me via video, I can help."
Pei Chuan stood by in silence.
Qi Chi asked him to be his experimental assistant, and both of them have been elusive recently.
"Okay, keep in touch if you have any questions." Luo Yunjin also prepared a lot of supplies in his space, so there was no need to worry about supplies.
Lin Xi sat in the driver's seat, Luo Yunjin sat in the passenger seat, and the two cats slept with Axun in the back compartment.
After the car took off, Luo Yunjin heard the prompt sound from Lin Xi's system.
[Ding ding, triggering a hidden mission: Random Adventure, random rewards based on mission completion~]
[Current total gold coins: 13356.]
Luo Yunjin hadn't heard the system's voice for a long time. He didn't expect that Lin Xi had saved so many gold coins.
No wonder he hasn't been seen for a long time and was forced to turn into a cat.
The RV flew towards the sea again.
The sea was calm, and they followed the map to plan to go to the nearest uninhabited island.
The map in the RV was still from before the apocalypse, and hadn't been updated. However, the notes Ji Yuejiang had given her also mentioned an uninhabited island, with many mutant animals and abundant supplies.
After about five hours of flight time, Luo Yunjin was woken up by Lin Xi.
It is still afternoon and the sun is scorching. Through the car window, I can see that the island below is desolate, but there are still plants surviving in some areas, most of which are mutant plants.
There are several small islands around this uninhabited island, with huge rocks standing on each island, and occasionally the roar of wild beasts can be heard.
Black zombie fish occasionally jumped out of the nearby sea water, but they seemed afraid to approach the island.
There is a lot of garbage on the coast of the uninhabited island.
Ji Yuejiang's notes recorded that there were many mutated plants on the island, and their cargo ship had once gone ashore to search for fresh water in the nearby jungle.
However, the water sources here have dried up, and the mutated plants are extremely ferocious. Therefore, they had to retreat, and there are not many records of this island.
But since they all landed on the island safely, it means there is no danger on the shore.
Luo Yunjin also wanted to collect some uncommon mutant plants.
Lin Xi parked the car on the shore.
The child was still sleeping, so Luo Yunjin put the car and the cat inside into the space, and headed towards the jungle ahead with Lin Xi.
Mutated plants also need to drink water. This island is surrounded by polluted seawater. Since the plants can still survive so well under the scorching sun, it means there must be fresh water on the island.
As soon as they entered the jungle, several dry vines attacked them.
Luo Yunjin tried to control these vines, but they paused slightly at first, then grew thorns all over their bodies and attacked even more fiercely.
When the distance between the two was only one meter, Luo Yunjin released the small orange tree, which entangled with the vines. Soon the vines retreated.
The little orange tree grew branch-like limbs and followed Luo Yunjin. Whenever other mutant plants approached, it would simply twist and throw the vines away.
Soon they were in the very heart of the jungle.
Lin Xi grabbed the girl's wrist and said, "There are zombies ahead."
Luo Yunjin was shocked and confused.
A chaotic sound of footsteps was heard, and two humanoid creatures covered with vines emerged from the bushes. The vines on their bodies were entwined and twisted like snakes.
There are also many vines entwined on the surrounding tall trees. The entire jungle seems to be confined by vines. There are all kinds of vines everywhere, wriggling and rotting.
The eyes of the two vine zombies were a dark ice blue, and flesh and bones could be seen exposed on their bodies.
It's like being parasitized by a plant.
"They are all sixth-level plant-based zombies." Luo Yunjin discovered that the zombies could control vines. Their ability level was not high, but they had lived in this jungle for a long time and could perfectly control all the plants in the forest.
Soon, the vines wrapped around the surrounding trees began to slowly wriggle, locking Luo Yunjin and Lin Xi in the circular area in the middle.
The zombie opened its mouth wide and green saliva dripped down.
The small orange tree swung a vine over and broke the head of one of the zombies.
The zombie slowly picked up the head and put it back on its neck. Then it twisted its neck and looked at the orange tree with flames burning in its blue eyes.
Luo Yunjin was worried that the jungle here was created by these two plant-based zombies. If the zombies were killed, the jungle would disappear in an instant, and there might even be mutant animals that relied on this jungle to survive.
The little orange tree had already rushed forward and was wrestling with the two zombies.
The opponent's body is like a building block that can be assembled at will. Even if the small orange tree crushes its body, it can still be assembled and restored quickly.
Luo Yunjin had never seen such zombies before.
