Chapter 49: Zhao Feng’s Scheme
“I almost forgot to tell you all, thanks to that flood dragon interrupting, let me introduce you to our new neighbors.”
Sang Chu pointed at the large trees, and they excitedly waved their branches, rustling loudly.
Xiao Yi Fei was startled: “Are these trees… sentient?”
Sang Chu: “It’s the crystal cores. They’ve mutated like us, and they don’t seem to fear supernatural abilities. That’s a good thing for us.”
Sang Jing Wen nodded: “My name is Sang Jing Wen. I live in the mountain hollow behind this large mountain. I hope we can get along well in the future.”
Seeing Sang Jing Wen introduce himself so seriously, Xiao Yi Fei was dumbfounded, but he still introduced himself in a similar manner.
“Um, neighbors, I’m a fire element supernatural ability user. My sister said you’re not afraid of supernatural abilities, I wonder if you could let me try?”
He said cautiously, not because he didn’t believe her, but because seeing is believing.
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
After a series of sounds,
Sang Chu found that she could somehow understand them?
She wasn’t sure if it was because of that crystal core just now.
Xiao Yi Fei: “Sister, what do they mean by that?”
Sang Chu pointed to the large tree on the left that was making the most noise: “Brother Yi, attack it.”
Xiao Yi Fei swallowed and asked again: “Is it really okay? Here I go?”
“Yes, let’s try.”
The fact that mutated plants didn’t fear supernatural abilities was just her subconscious feeling. This was a good opportunity to test it.
Seeing Sang Chu nod, Xiao Yi Fei attacked the tree with restrained force.
Unexpectedly,
With a wave of its branches, it actually deflected the fire!
At that moment, a large red flower suddenly grew from the ground, opening its bloody maw and swallowing the fireball.
Xiao Yi Fei’s spine chilled, and he retreated repeatedly: “Good heavens, these neighbors are so fierce!”
Sang Jing Wen nodded in complete agreement.
Seeing this, Sang Chu was very glad she had learned the mental power supernatural ability. That feeling just now should have been a premonition of risk after practicing it.
She had a hunch that using supernatural abilities was dangerous, but she didn’t expect it to be so dangerous.
These large trees were connected, each fulfilling its role, protecting each other as they grew. It seemed their base was safe for now!
Sang Chu: “Dear neighbors, big brothers and big sisters, your food seems to be our supernatural abilities. If that’s the case, we can cooperate. As long as you can help me defend this first line of defense and prevent anyone from crossing it, we will regularly feed you supernatural abilities. What do you think?”
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
Getting a positive answer, Sang Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Min Feng, however, stared at Sang Chu in a daze, and after a long while, he said, “A Chu, you can hear them speak?”
“I can sense what they want to say. By the way, why did you come back so quickly?”
She didn’t intend to reveal that the laser gun could attack these mutated plants in front of them.
Sang Jing Wen: “Zhao Feng is a zombie!”
“What!!!”
Sang Chu was shocked. How could Zhao Feng be a zombie?
Lu Min Feng opened the image on the optical computer: “It’s true. Zhao Feng and his zombie group are heading towards Hai Shi at full speed. They’re very fast. If we didn’t have hovercars, we would have been much slower. They should reach Hai Shi soon.”
Rustle—
The wind rustled the leaves.
Sang Chu’s heart tightened, and she listened carefully.
“Everyone, take cover! Zhao Feng and them are coming!”
“What?”
Sang Jing Wen and the others were initially curious how Sang Chu knew, but the next second, they saw the leaves of the large trees pointing in one direction.
Sang Chu: “Let’s go back to the underground city first. We’ll leave this place to our new neighbors!”
Sang Jing Wen quickly took out the hovercar, and the group left underground in the hovercar.
The leaves of the large trees densely covered the entire mountain top, making it impossible for Zhao Feng and his group to find a way into the mountains.
“Are you sure Sang Chu and them are in this mountain?”
Zhu Mao: “Big Brother, it’s true. Zombies in this mountain have seen them and said they have many strange weapons that hit accurately, so many zombies have fled.”
Zhu Ling: “Boss, these mutated plants here are so strange. Could it be related to Sang Chu’s new weapons?”
Zhao Feng: “We can’t clear the mutated plants. It seems we’ll need to cooperate with someone to get in.”
Zombies couldn’t destroy the mutated plants, and the mutated plants were even fatal to them. To avoid being discovered, everyone avoided the mutated plants.
But they never expected there to be so many mutated plants on this mountain!
Ge Miao: “Boss, Hai Shi has five major powers, all of them second-rate. I don’t know if they can clear these mutated plants.”
Zhao Feng’s cloudy eyes stared intently at the mutated plants, and he casually conjured dozens of gold bullets, throwing them at them.
‘Bang bang bang—’
The branches swung their dense leaves like playing badminton, batting the bullets back.
“Wind Shield!”
“Earth Shield!”
Zhu Mao and Ge Miao repeatedly activated their abilities to block the ricochets. They saw bullets embedded in their shields.
Zhu Ling: “Big Brother?”
Zhao Feng’s expression turned grim: “Let’s go find the supernatural ability users here!”
The group turned and left, heading to a nearby base.
Quan Jian’s Base
Quan Jian: “You say you’re from Shang Jing, and I’ll take your word for it. But you say Sang Chu stole your supplies and left, that’s a bit far-fetched!”
He didn’t know Sang Chu or who she was, but a woman stealing supplies from Zhao Feng, a Level Three supernatural ability user, and escaping? That was a joke!
Zhao Feng: “If that weren’t the case, why would I travel all the way from Shang Jing to Hai Shi? They are hiding in these deep mountains and are very difficult to find. If Boss Quan is willing to cooperate with us, I’m willing to split whatever we find with Boss Quan!”
Quan Jian looked at Zhao Feng. He had heard of this person and their base. They never traded with outsiders.
No one knew how they obtained their supplies, but rumors said he had many supernatural ability users, allowing them to produce and sell their own goods.
Wood element supernatural ability users were rare in the apocalypse, and they couldn’t artificially accelerate the growth of fruits and vegetables without seeds. These seeds were their blood.
In other words, without ordinary seeds for them to accelerate, to have something to eat, they had to use the blood of wood element supernatural ability users to form seeds and then accelerate their growth.
This would undoubtedly accelerate their death.
Therefore, there were two types of wood element supernatural ability users: one was strong, and no one dared to force them to drip blood to form seeds. In this case, they would be responsible for accelerating growth. The second type was the weak, pure blood bag.
Based on what he, Quan Jian, knew, Zhao Feng’s base never traded with outsiders, so there was only one possibility: his base had blood bags, and possibly more than one!
He was an absolute ruthless person!
