Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 41 Mutant Tree

Ye Qiu Mian turned around and looked at him coldly. "I have things to do and don't have time to waste with you."

"Don't even think about leaving until you explain yourself!"

The man in gray saw that she was in a hurry to leave and thought she was guilty.

He rushed up to her, trying to grab her and get her to explain herself.

Ye Qiu Mian narrowed her eyes and flicked a wisp of spiritual energy over.

The man in gray was sent flying backward and crashed heavily onto the tiled floor.

The living room was covered in blood, and he had slashed a bloody path through it.

When he looked up at the steps, he found that the woman was gone.

The man in gray got up and tried to give chase, but was stopped by the man in black and white.

"Don't chase after them. They kindly saved us, we can't go looking for trouble with them, what's the difference between us and animals?"

The man in black and white looked extremely distressed, and his voice became hoarse from crying.

Upon hearing this, the man in gray lowered his head and remained silent.

...

Ye Qiumian chased the zombie all the way out of the city.

The zombie was incredibly fast; if she hadn't used her spiritual energy to boost her speed, she would have almost lost it.

After an hour of tracking, they arrived at an abandoned industrial park.

In the pitch-black night, moonlight peeked through the misty clouds, casting a faint glow.

The faint light shone on the mottled walls of the industrial park, giving off an eerie, cold glow.

Ye Qiumian also got a clear look at the environment in the industrial park. Discarded mechanical parts were scattered everywhere, and black oil stains remained on the ground.

Many fresh footprints were clearly visible on the oil stains.

Ye Qiumian curled the corners of her mouth into a mischievous smile.

That smile had a sinister quality, sending chills down your spine.

"Come out~"

"I've chased you all the way here. Do you think hiding will do you any good?"

The industrial park was silent.

"If you don't come out soon, I'm going to come looking for you!"

There was still no movement around.

"Here I come!"

"Once I find you, you're finished, hehehe."

Ye Qiumian released her divine sense to cover the entire industrial park, and soon found the zombie in a warehouse in one of the buildings.

Oh no.

They are two zombies.

At this moment, the two zombies were quietly hiding in a large, abandoned iron box.

Ye Qiumian smiled and quickly walked over.

Arriving at the warehouse entrance, she raised her hand and tossed a wisp of spiritual energy into the iron box.

I've found you.

As she finished speaking, the iron box was sent flying by the spiritual energy.

The two zombies darted out of the iron box road in a flash.

The iron box fell to the ground at that moment, immediately becoming twisted, deformed, and splitting apart.

Ye Qiumian looked up and saw two zombies standing close together.

To be precise, it was one zombie riding another zombie.

The bruises on the face of the zombie on his back had faded considerably, and the fangs in its mouth were only slightly longer than teeth.

The eyeballs have returned to their normal black and white color.

It seems that as the zombies' strength increases, they not only have the opportunity to regain their intelligence, but they can also gradually return to the skin color of normal people.

Judging from their speed just now, the zombie being ridden should be a speed zombie.

It was controlled by the psychic zombie on its back and made to work for it.

I didn't expect this psychic zombie to be so smart!

As soon as the two zombies appeared, they immediately attacked Ye Qiu Mian.

"court death!"

The psychic zombie uttered two words, its voice hoarse and unpleasant.

A faint, almost imperceptible, yet murderous, spiritual energy surged towards Ye Qiu Mian's mind. At the same time, the psychic zombie riding on the back of a zombie wielding a large cleaver flew rapidly towards her.

Ye Qiumian channeled her spiritual energy into her feet, dodging the large cleaver, and then unleashed a burst of spiritual energy with her backhand.

The two zombies were also very fast, quickly dodging the attack.

The two zombies fought back and forth for several more rounds. Finally, Ye Qiu Mian got tired and released her divine sense to attack the mental zombie.

Then he successfully killed the two zombies and also dug out their crystal cores.

Mental zombies are at level five, while speed zombies are at level four.

Ye Qiumian weighed the crystal core in her hand, feeling that something was amiss.

She looked closely at the psychic zombie's face before realizing that this zombie wasn't the same psychic zombie from the zombie horde that day.

She couldn't help but frown. The psychic zombie in that zombie horde was already at level five.

Now we've encountered a fifth-tier mental zombie.

What about the zombie king that the zombie horde encountered? Just how powerful was it?
Have the zombies become so powerful in this period of time?

When I get back, I need to inform Li Hongbo of this news.

Ye Qiumian put away the crystal core and left the industrial park.

On her way back, as she passed a lake, a dark shadow suddenly darted past her from behind.

what is that?
Ye Qiumian raised an eyebrow, turned around curiously, and chased after him.

When she got closer, she saw a tree with two flexible, hand-like branches extending out, wrapping around two zombies.

When its branches loosened again, the two zombies had turned into a single desiccated corpse.

Ye Qiumian: "..."

Has she encountered a mutated tree?
After entering the apocalypse, plants and animals also have a chance of mutating.

But the chances of that are too slim. In her previous life, she died young and naturally never encountered it.

Since her rebirth, this is the first time she has ever seen a mutated tree.

This is a very rare occurrence.

I wonder if the mutated plant has a crystal nucleus?

At this moment, the mutated tree by the lake suddenly trembled.

It had just inexplicably sensed a danger rising from beneath the tree roots.

It stood motionless by the lake, just like an ordinary tree.

If Ye Qiu Mian hadn't witnessed it absorbing the energy and life force of the two zombies, she wouldn't have known.

They probably really think it's just an ordinary tree.

Ye Qiumian walked towards the big tree and stopped five meters away from it.

She raised an eyebrow and said softly, "You're a mutated tree, aren't you?"

Big Tree: "..."

can not hear!
can not hear!
I am not a mutated tree!

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

Big Tree: "!!!"

I'm just an ordinary tree, how can I speak?!
Ye Qiu Mian noticed a few leaves trembling, but pretended not to see and continued, "So they haven't developed sentience yet and can't speak for the time being?"

A sly glint flashed in her eyes. "Then let's see if a crystal core has formed yet. I'll dig it up and use it to buy vegetables."

The big tree can't hold on any longer.

If we keep installing it, its crystal core will be gone!

It began to shake violently, and the branches on both sides suddenly stretched out, quickly covering the heartwood.

It looked so wary, as if it was afraid Ye Qiumian would dig out its crystal core.

"So you really are a mutated tree?"

Ye Qiumian opened her big, bright eyes, which were full of surprise.

Big Tree: "..."

So she was just bluffing?

The tree was very angry, extremely angry, incredibly angry!
How could humans be so evil!
That's absolutely awful!

The big tree shifted its roots to the side, resolutely ignoring her.

Ye Qiumian looked at the tree in front of her with a smile; it stood quietly before her.

But she seemed to see the shadow of a sullen child.
