That night, Ji Chenning led a few people to City Z on a military helicopter. The helicopter hovered over the suburbs. The nuclear explosion was extremely destructive and the helicopter had nowhere to land.

"Drive to the sky above Linquan Temple and jump down directly."

Ji Chenning stood by the hatch, looked at the situation below, and gave orders in a deep voice.

"Yes, Captain Ji." The driver operated the vehicle skillfully and reached the designated location in less than two minutes.

"Let's go." Ji Chenning was the first to jump down with the package on his back.

Others followed.

Several people descended rapidly from a high altitude. Ji Chenning squinted his eyes to confirm their position. He turned over lightly in mid-air and looked up at the four people who were falling later. He clenched his right fist slightly, and the space field expanded.

The five people had already stopped in mid-air, about twenty meters above the ground.

"Shh." After giving the order, Ji Chenning closed her eyes, and the huge mental power gradually expanded to the entire mountain with herself as the center.

Several people waited quietly for the results of her mental investigation. In less than half a minute, Ji Chenning opened his eyes, and a hint of dark red flashed across his eyes.

"Team Season, how's it going?"

Seeing that she had been silent, Qiao Qiantong hurriedly broke the silence.

Ji Chenning used her supernatural power to control several people to land safely. She looked to the southeast and described the situation of the mountain calmly. "I thought it was the Zombie King who controlled all this, but I didn't expect it to be a tree in Linquan Temple."

The tree that he had just detected with his mental power flashed through his mind, and Ji Chenning was also shocked.

An ancient tree that is hundreds of years old is still "lush and green" in this doomsday, with dark vines entwined around the treetops and red flowers hiding green silkworm pupae.

And the things inside these green silkworm pupae seem to be alive. The transparent green mucous membrane is constantly floating up and down, just like the rise and fall of the chest when breathing.

"It's just a tree, I'll burn it down!"

Ji Chenning stopped Qiao Qiantong and said, "Don't be impulsive. Dr. Rong and I will go check the situation first. There are a few weak energy points halfway up the mountain. Go and take a look. Be careful."

"Yes." The other three nodded and moved towards the middle of the mountain with the help of night vision goggles.

"Sending them away is to protect them." Rong Yunqiu walked beside Ji Chenning and spoke lightly.

Ji Chenning looked towards the direction of Linquan Temple on the top of the mountain and tightened his gas mask. "This tree will emit a faint floral scent, which will paralyze the human brain and induce living things to keep approaching. Although there is a gas mask, it is only temporary. The closer you get, the stronger the floral scent will be."

"I remember that the tree in Linquan Temple was an osmanthus tree. Even if something had mutated, it was abnormal for the fragrance to be so strong."

Rong Yunqiu's hands kept moving, and his ice ability froze the vines that were trying to wrap around the two of them.

"In fact, we can infer it. We already know it from the top just now. Although the nuclear explosion affected a large area, only the side of the mountain facing the nuclear power plant has traces of fire. The other dead grass is contaminated by the nuclear power plant."

As they were talking, the two had already reached the top of the mountain. Ji Chenning raised his hand, and a blue-purple flame ignited in the palm of his hand, instantly illuminating the entire abandoned temple.

“What you’re trying to say is that the tree didn’t just mutate because of the zombie virus and the apocalypse, but it was also affected by the nuclear pollution.”

"That's right."
