Chapter 104 Apocalyptic Fall, Zombie Siege 15
The school playground was already full of cars, many of which were high-ranking members of the Brilliant Base who had rushed over after receiving the news. Even within a single base, there are many opposing forces. They had heard from their subordinates that two experts who dared to directly enter the botanical garden had arrived, so they had to come and see for themselves.
The crystal scorpion, accompanied by the dodder, foraged for food in the surrounding area, basically taking down all the third-tier zombies. A cloth bag hung from the dodder vine, its glittering crystal cores dazzling to the eye. It also took down quite a few fourth-tier zombies, but with the vine and scorpion working together, taking down fourth-tier zombies was relatively easy.
They sensed the king's presence from afar, and the two of them stopped hunting and obediently waited for Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu in front of the iron gate.
The mutated scorpion was enormous. It wobbled and crawled to the front of the iron gate, startling everyone. After all, it was a mutated beast. Judging from its eerie blue stinger, this scorpion was ferocious. Two fourth-level ability users were about to attack the mutated scorpion when they were pulled back by the people around them.
The man whispered in his boss's ear, "Boss, this scorpion is a mutated pet that the two inside tamed. It obeys them a lot. Let's wait and see. If it attacks us, we can kill it then. We have several fourth-tier members. Dealing with a fourth-tier mutated scorpion is a piece of cake."
After listening, the fourth-tier ability user pondered for a moment, then put away the flames burning in his hand and carefully stared at the mutated scorpion. If it made any unusual moves, he would definitely kill it first.
Inside the iron gate was a lush green area. Suddenly, two black figures appeared at the end. The one in front had a skirt fluttering, while the one behind wore a windbreaker and had a cold expression. They walked out one after the other.
A collective gasp rippled through many corners of the playground. They hadn't been unaware that such a ferocious mutated plant was something they'd considered sending people to eradicate.
However, six months ago, when they sent twenty ability users for the first time, none of them returned, and all of them were found dead. At that time, they were basically the top combat force of the Glorious Base, all of them were third-level ability users. That battle severely damaged the Glorious Base, and since then, this area has become a forbidden zone, and no one has ever mentioned cleaning up the botanical garden again.
The botanical garden was put on hold. They never imagined that these two would return unharmed, and judging from their intact appearance, the situation was probably overwhelming; the high-level plants were no match for them.
As the two drew closer, the delicate rose by Luo Shu's ear deeply stung the eyes of the high-ranking members of the Glorious Base. According to the communications sent back by the first batch of ability users who had entered at great risk, that high-level plant was a rose. These two were terrifying to think about!
While other forces were still observing, Du Hua, the eldest brother of Du De, who was designated as the next leader of the Du family, took the lead and walked up to Luo Shu and Zhao Qing, smiling and trying to get close to them: "Gentlemen, my brother just told me that we became friends after a fight. It was my stupid brother who didn't recognize your greatness. Please don't be angry."
After saying that, he yelled at Duds, who was standing to the side, "Get over here and apologize!"
Dud didn't dare to be presumptuous. The fact that these two were able to come out of the botanical garden unscathed proved their extraordinary strength. His older brother was ruthless; if he could win over two experts by sacrificing his own younger brother, he probably would think it was a very worthwhile deal.
Dud hardened his heart and slapped himself twice across the face. The two slaps were extremely loud. Most importantly, with so many people watching, Dud's little bit of reputation that he had built up at the base was completely used up.
We've lost both substance and face, but no matter how important substance and face are, they're not as important as our own lives!
Du De flattered, "Please don't hold it against me, gentlemen. I'm just a fool who didn't recognize the true Buddha. Our Du family has some influence in the Brilliant Base. I wonder if you two could do us the honor of giving our Du family a chance to apologize?"
Luo Shu didn't speak, her fingertips playing with the bright red rose she had taken from her ear. Du De's eyes followed her slender, jade-like hand, his mouth watering. But when his gaze fell on the rose, he suddenly looked away as if burned, lowering his head and daring not to look again.
Du Hua was still trying to win their favor, but he didn't get any response from them. He was getting a little embarrassed when he felt something touch his shoulder. He was about to wave it away impatiently when he turned around and was terrified. A vine was wrapped around the tail of the huge crystal scorpion, which was as big as a car. The vine that had touched his shoulder was that slender vine.
Du Hua didn't dare to show his displeasure anymore. His legs were a little unresponsive, and he struggled to move to the side to make room for the mutated scorpion. Du De's wrist, which was being held by his brother, was in pain. He knew that his brother was obviously terrified. Du De lowered his head, a mocking smile on his lips.
Tsk, I never thought his good older brother would suffer such a setback.
The crystal scorpion raised its tail in front of Luo Shu, with vines wrapped around it, hooking a cloth bag full of crystal cores. The vines were also very obsequious, handing the bag to Luo Shu as if they wanted to give her everything.
Luo Shu didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up the bag, weighed it in her hand—it was quite heavy—and handed it to Zhao Qingshu. Zhao Qingshu put it in his spatial storage. Most spatial abilities are used for storage; someone like Zhao Qingshu who uses a spatial blade is probably one of a kind in the entire country.
The people from the Glorious Base were even more surprised. This man was a space-type ability user, so wasn't this woman the one who had just entered the botanical garden and captured this rose?
This woman in a dress, retro sunglasses, and crystal sandals? They simply couldn't believe it. Many people were pulling their hair as they sorted through the incident. Even if they didn't want to admit it, they knew this woman was unfathomable and not to be trifled with.
Then Luo Shu leaped onto the crystal scorpion's back, and the scorpion carried her out of the playground. Zhao Qingshu naturally followed behind. With such a scene, no one dared to stop them. Only after Luo Shu swaggered away did the whispers in the playground grow louder.
Seeing that his king's clothes were "tattered and worn out," Zhao Qingshu immediately set off along the highway to find a more prosperous city to pick out some new clothes for his king. He also felt that his own clothes needed to be replaced. Without further ado, he started the car and headed towards the distant city.
The people keeping watch outside saw them leave and quickly drove off at a distance, maintaining a safe distance without losing them. Who wouldn't be intimidated by the crystal scorpion on the car? Who would dare get so close?
The car drove along, stopping and starting, and finally came to rest in the outer city of the Brilliant Base. This area was mainly inhabited by ordinary people, and because it was close to the Brilliant Base, it was relatively safe, so many people lived here.
Having driven all the way here, Zhao Qingshu hadn't seen any clothes that suited his taste, so he could only pin his hopes on this bustling area with its street vendors.
The underlings watching them had already sent a message to their boss, saying that the two had entered the outer city of the Glorious Base.
Many factions held meetings all night long, without sleeping.
