Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter 186 Ancient Temple in the Mountains

This is not a time of peace; the importance of food is self-evident. If they didn't have Xiaxia, those supplies would be everything.

The other party took everything without a second thought, but that would cost them their lives.

“Miss Long, I…” Old Master Liu wanted the supplies back, but when he thought that the other party had already run away, and that Miss Long and her group were already being kind by letting them follow, he opened his mouth but ultimately did not speak.

He lowered his head, wiping his eyes dejectedly. He was so useless; he even managed to lose the supplies while packing them.

“I left a tracking item on them. If you want your supplies back, I can give you directions,” Long Yangyang said.

"Really?" Xia Tian asked in surprise. He could tell that Grandpa Liu felt very guilty about the supplies. He and Tongtong could temporarily stay with Miss Long after entering the base, but it was different for Grandpa Liu and the others.

Once inside the base, you'll have to rely on yourself for everything. Even if he helps you, he's too far away to be of immediate help. Having supplies on hand makes a huge difference compared to not having any.

Xia Tian believed that even if only a portion of the more than 500 tons of supplies were given to the base, it would be enough for the old man and his family to settle down there.

They had already learned about the Qingdu base from Long Yangyang; there were jobs there that ordinary people could do. With these supplies, they might be able to arrange a relatively easy job for the old man and the others.

After all, their group consisted of the elderly and the young, and most of them were orphans and widows. These supplies were not just food for them, but also a guarantee for their future livelihood.

Long Yangyang gestured for Xia Tian and the others to get in the car. Relying on Miao Miao's connection to her seeds, the group followed Lin He into the mountains.

"Long Yangyang, this place is full of mutated plants!" Qiu Ling, the team's human radar, quickly alerted them after spotting the mutated plants.

"Although most of them are first- or second-level mutated peach and pear trees, there are just too many of them." Moreover, these densely packed mutated trees grow in a staggered and orderly manner.

It doesn't look like wildly growing fruit trees at all; it looks more like a specially cultivated orchard. But is that possible after the apocalypse?

“I’ve already had Miaomiao temporarily take control of these mutated fruit trees; that woman is inside,” Long Yangyang said. Miaomiao is a level nine mutated plant, so controlling these mutated plants, which are not even level three, is incredibly easy for her.

What she was curious about was how so many plants with supernatural abilities could appear in this mountain? You know, in the mutated peach forest they had encountered before, apart from Yao Yao, there were only three plants with supernatural abilities.

These peach and pear trees have crystal cores, unlike Miao Miao's rose army. Could it be that the people behind Lin He have mastered the technology to mass-produce superpowered plants?

Long Yangyang was clearly very interested in this method. The fruits of mutated plants all possess special energy, let alone the fruits of plants with supernatural abilities?

After the car entered the orchard, Long Yangyang found that the road was very flat and did not look like a mountain road at all.

“Yangyang, according to the original map, there is a mountain god temple nearby. This mountain god temple still had some worshippers before the apocalypse. Many people came during festivals, so the road was repaired.”

Yun Cangshu compared the map with the one before the apocalypse and said, "As for the orchard, it's not shown on the map. Why don't we follow the navigation?"

If you're driving, it's better to take the flat road if possible.

“Okay.” Long Yangyang nodded in agreement. Qiu Ling had surveyed the area and found that besides these supernatural plants, there was only a level three fire-type supernatural dog, which was nothing to worry about.

Lin He was right there, showing no signs of leaving, so it didn't matter if she took a longer route.

Under Miao Miao's control, the first and second grade peach and pear trees made way for a road that vehicles could drive on. To Long Yangyang's surprise, the car did not bump much when driving on this road, just like a flat road.

"Yangyang, the route we're on basically overlaps with the route on the map," Yun Cangshu said, looking down at the electronic map on his phone.

"It seems that the other party used these mutated plants to completely hide the original path," Fu Muyu said. It has to be said that this is a very clever method.

After the apocalypse, mutated plants are extremely troublesome and difficult to kill. Most people would be terrified at the sight of such a large grove of mutated trees, fearing that there might be even more powerful mutant plants deep within the forest, and would turn around and leave.

However, Lin He probably didn't expect that they had Long Yangyang here. The supernatural plants in Long Yangyang's possession were all extremely powerful, and they didn't take this orchard seriously at all.

"Won't these peach and pear trees send us any information after we come in?" Qiu Ling asked. Mutated plants possess a faint intelligence, let alone more powerful mutant plants; the higher the level of the mutant plant, the higher its intelligence.

"It's alright. We just arrived, and Miao Miao took control of these fruit trees. Besides, didn't you check? The highest level of superpower here is only level six." Long Yangyang dared to venture deep into this place because of the powerful superpowers of her group.

According to Qiu Ling's detection, there are nearly a hundred plants with supernatural abilities in this mountain. Apart from a level 5 mutated pear tree and a level 4 mutated peach tree, the rest are level 1 or 2. The only mutated animal is a level 3 fire-type dog.

As for the two level-six ability users, Lin He's ability attack power is not strong. As for the other one, although the effect of decomposing ability is unknown, a level-six ability is simply unable to cross two levels to cause damage to a level-eight ability user.

"Sister Long, that woman is inside. There are quite a few other people with superpowers inside as well," Qiu Ling said, pointing to the ancient temple in front of them.

"What a coincidence." Long Yangyang smiled. They were following the road on the map leading to the ancient temple, but unexpectedly, they ended up at Lin He's headquarters. So they were living inside this ancient temple.

After the end of the world, the ancient temple was already dilapidated, and most of the main structure had collapsed. Apart from the main temple, although there were some cracks and the walls were peeling, it was still able to provide shelter from the wind and rain.

In the courtyard of the ancient temple, there was a peach tree and a pear tree. After Long Yangyang entered, she immediately asked Miaomiao to control the two supernatural plants.

"Woof woof woof!!!"

As Long Yangyang and her group stepped out of the car, they were greeted by a golden retriever over three meters tall. The golden retriever warily eyed Long Yangyang and the others, its front legs slightly curled, its left paw occasionally scraping the ground, assuming an attack posture. A low growl emanated from its canine teeth, as if it were about to pounce at any moment.

The level-three superpowered dog was clearly quite intelligent and had already realized that Long Yangyang and the others had come with ill intentions.
