Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter 41 Mutant Plants

"Bang—" "Bang—" "Bang—"

The four of them had barely gotten their bearings after jumping out of the car when they were met with a hail of corn kernels, which rained down on them like a deluge.

To the left is an earth-type ability user, level two. Without thinking, he erected an earthen wall to block the corn kernels. The corn kernels hit the earthen wall, making a crackling sound. The earthen wall was instantly shattered into sieves by the corn kernels, turning into pieces of soil that fell down.

"Bro, these aren't corn kernels, they're practically bullets!" Xiang You patted his chest, still shaken, and complained.

"Stop talking, run! I feel like this mutated corn is above me in level." Xiang Zuo grabbed Xiang You and ran forward, while reminding the other teammates, "Quick, let's get out of the mutated corn's range."

"Bang—" "Bang—"

As they charged forward, they scrambled to dodge corn bullets, earthen walls, golden shields, ice walls, and more from all directions. The superhumans frantically used their abilities to try and block the suppressive fire of the mutated corn.

"Whoosh—" Suddenly, an intact mutated corn fell beside them. Feng Teng instantly felt a chill run down his spine, as if a great disaster was about to befall him. He hurriedly grabbed the two teammates closest to him and used his superpower to teleport away.

"boom--"

The next second, a deafening roar erupted from where they had been sitting, creating a crater nearly a hundred meters wide.

"Even bombs aren't this powerful." Xiang You swallowed hard, still shaken, and looked at the black mushroom cloud of smoke behind him, thankful that he and his brother had escaped unscathed.

"Captain Feng, thank you so much," Xiang Zuo said gratefully.

If Feng Teng hadn't teleported away with him and his brother at the last second, they probably would have been killed by the corn-shaped bombs.

Feng Teng waved his hand, "Let's go back and see if anyone has survived."

After the dust settled, the three ran back to where the corn-shaped shells had landed and suggested to Zuo, "I have earth-type abilities, let's go down and take a look."

The crater created by the corn-shaped shell was nearly a hundred meters long and more than ten meters deep. They didn't encounter a single person on their way here. If anyone did survive, they were probably at the bottom of the crater.

After going down to the left, Feng Teng and Xiang You are waiting above.

Staring right at the deep pit, she felt a pang of regret for having accepted the mission to rescue Feng Wenwen with her brother. "Brother, you're up. Did you find her?"

After returning to the left, Xiang You hurriedly stepped forward and asked the other person if they had noticed anything.

At this moment, Xiang Zuo's resolute face was heavy. He slowly took out some bloody limbs and severed hands from behind his back. They were covered with charred wounds, and it was only by the shape and size of the broken bones that it could be vaguely determined that they belonged to different people.

Xiang You knew that these two people were probably Level 2 ability users who, like their brothers, had accepted Feng Enning's rescue mission.

"Captain Feng, is Miss Long's mutated rose also this powerful?" After experiencing the attack by mutated corn, Xiang You thought of the rose, which is also a mutated plant, and asked.

Upon hearing this, a hint of fear flashed across Feng Teng's face. These Level 2 ability users who rashly came to rescue people were truly ignorant of their own limitations. Did they really think that becoming a Level 2 ability user made them invincible?

Before even reaching their destination, more than half of their personnel had already been lost.

After Feng Teng used his supernatural ability to teleport away from the mutated corn's range again, he answered the question about going to the right.

“That rose is even more terrifying,” Feng Teng said calmly. “The mutated corn is powerful, but its attacks have a range. As for the mutated rose, I don’t know.”

In just one encounter, my brothers and I were dizzy and weak from the scent of roses. Had the other side not attacked us, we would probably have been sucked dry by the mutated roses.

"We've only encountered one mutated corn plant so far, but the enemy might have dozens, or even hundreds, of mutated rose plants. If every rose plant is like the one we encountered..."

Xiang Zuo pondered Feng Teng's words for a moment, then subconsciously took two steps back. He had almost died at the hands of the mutated corn, and he had some psychological trauma from mutated plants. He really didn't want to lead his younger brother to face another, possibly more powerful, mutated rose.

"Captain Feng, I wonder if my brother and I can choose to join your army after returning to Ningshan Base?" Xiang Zuo asked Feng Teng for his opinion.

All he wanted was to survive in the apocalypse with his younger brother. The two brothers accepted Feng Enning's rescue mission because of the generous supplies he offered.

Now that the two brothers have no intention of completing the mission, given Feng Enning's vengeful nature, if he doesn't have a powerful backer, he will probably be plotted against by the other party soon.

Not wanting to leave the base, joining Feng Teng's team with his younger brother might be the best option, since the military is currently the only organization in Ningshan Base that can rival Feng Enning's forces.

Feng Teng quickly understood the brothers' idea. "No problem, as long as you give up the idea of ​​being hostile to Miss Long and her group. Don't worry, Miss Long is different from Feng Enning. As long as you hand over the crystal cores to her, she won't make things difficult for us."

Feng Wenwen will likely be fine, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Given her current condition, it's already a miracle she's not dead.

······

"It's the third day, and Feng Teng hasn't come. Could he have stood us up?" Long Yangyang was getting impatient. She had collected almost all the supplies nearby.

The zombies' levels have clearly increased. In just three days, her Rose Legion has basically taken over all the zombies within a ten-kilometer radius, reaping a huge amount of zombie crystal cores. There are more than 50,000 level one zombie crystal cores and more than 300 level two zombie crystal cores.

She doesn't lack Feng Teng's low-level zombie crystal cores now.

"Is there any need to keep these people around?" Long Yangyang looked disdainfully at the withered superhuman hanging on the mutated rose vine.

“Miss Long, our group keeps its word and will never go back on it. The reason you haven’t come must be because something has delayed you.” Gao Feng forced himself to explain to Long Yangyang.

Feng Teng had been gone for almost a week and hadn't returned. Gao Feng was worried that something might have happened to him, since the zombies' strength had clearly increased significantly after the heavy rain.

In particular, there were mutated plants. Gao Feng recalled the mutated spider plant they encountered in the city center yesterday. Its vines, which resembled steel whips, could instantly lash people and leave them with raw, bleeding skin.

Gao Feng clutched his left arm, which was in a sling, and couldn't help but wail in his heart, "Little ancestor, our group isn't like you. With the Rose Legion in hand, we can walk sideways throughout the entire Ningshan City."

He's only level two. In this world where monsters roam everywhere, his strength is practically nonexistent.

"As for these people, if you don't want to see them, Miss Long, we can help you. Wang Kun, take this brother and bring these people to our room."

While he's still breathing, I should try to save him if I can, Gao Feng thought.
