Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter Forty-Four: The Mutant Giant Python

Long Yangyang knew that mutated plants and animals were still edible, after all, according to the book's setting, most mutated plants and animals, apart from zombie plants and animals, were edible.

Especially mutated plants and animals that have evolved special abilities have unexpected medicinal effects.

For example, Long Yangyang's mutated rose has basic functions such as beauty enhancement, anti-aging, and skin care. Long-term consumption of its essence can increase vitality and prolong life.

However, mutated plants and animals that can evolve superpowers are generally powerful and may even have evolved a certain level of intelligence, making them difficult for ordinary superpowered individuals to kill.

After harvesting a large amount of corn, the group continued their journey.

"There are more and more level 2 zombies now," Bai Zhi complained after eliminating a group of zombies blocking their way. They had been traveling for three days and had encountered more than a dozen groups of zombies blocking their road.

Most of them were led by level 2 zombies, but once we even encountered a level 3 zombie.

"Boss, Yangyang, I have a bad feeling if we keep going forward." Yun Cangshu suddenly spoke up. Strangely, his superpower was telling him that continuing forward would bring a sense of impending doom, but he had no idea what the source of the danger was.

"Are there zombies? Or supernatural plants?" Long Yangyang asked.

Along the way, Long Yangyang found Yun Cangshu's precognitive ability to be very useful, as it allowed her to know in advance what kind of enemies would appear ahead. When she encountered a level three zombie, she was fortunate that the zombie gave her an early warning.

"I can't see anything, but I have a very dangerous premonition." Yun Cangshu stared ahead with a solemn expression. "In this situation, the opponent's strength must be too high, beyond my ability to predict."

He glanced down at the car navigation system that Long Yangyang had downloaded earlier, pondering the driving route. "If we take a detour and don't go across the river bridge, we'll need to take the elevated road and enter the mountain tunnel."

The mountain tunnel was lush with vegetation before the apocalypse; what if we encountered a powerful, supernatural plant...?

Feeling unsafe no matter which path he took, Yun Cangshu couldn't decide whether to take a detour, yet he also had a premonition of danger if he did...

"Brother Fu, what do you think?" Long Yangyang asked the man beside her.

"Let's keep going. The sun will be setting soon, and we'll head into the mountains. It'll be even more dangerous at night," Fu Muyu decided. Along the way, they hadn't encountered many mutated plants with special abilities, but each one was incredibly troublesome: willows that wielded wind blades, potatoes as hard as steel, cacti that shot flying needles…

These supernatural plants are at least level two, with roots buried deep in the soil, making them extremely difficult and time-consuming to completely eradicate. Even Long Yangyang, a wood-type supernatural being, would not want to fight them if she did not want to subdue them.

According to their current itinerary, if they take a detour and enter the mountains at night, and happen to encounter a high-level, strangely powerful mutated plant like the mutated rose, even Fu Muyu could easily fall into their trap if he is not careful.

As the sun sets and night falls, darkness seems to cast a shadow over the entire world.

"Cang Shu, how is she?"

"Boss... I feel really bad," Fu Muyu heard the other party's suppressed voice and looked at Yun Cangshu, only to find that the other party's emotions were very abnormal. His refined and handsome face was covered with beads of sweat, and his eyes were looking ahead warily.

Even though everything in front of them was pitch black, even a superhuman with enhanced senses couldn't see what was hidden in the darkness.

"My superpower tells me to run away, run away, but I feel that no matter which direction I choose, I can't sense any sign of life."

He had a premonition that he was being watched by a terrifying hunter with nowhere to escape. He tried to suppress his fear, but for some reason he became more and more afraid, as if his heart was being squeezed tightly and he was about to go into shock at any moment.

Suddenly, two eerie blue lights appeared in the pitch-black night sky, like two large blue lanterns, suspended in mid-air.

"His-"

A cold hissing sound broke the silence of the night sky.

Upon hearing this voice, Long Yangyang and Bai Zhijiao's bodies suddenly stiffened, and they couldn't help but tremble.

Long Yangyang subconsciously moved closer to Fu Muyu, hoping he wouldn't be that unlucky.

"Sister Long, Brother Fu, Brother Fu," Qiu Ling exclaimed as if she had encountered a monster, her pupils shrinking as she stared in horror at the eerie blue light ahead. "Level 5, Level 5 mutated giant python, devouring ability."

"Rustling..."

Something seemed to be wriggling around the vehicle. Considering Qiu Ling's words, could they be surrounded by a mutated giant python?

"Xiao Fei, how many energy points would I need to teleport away from the giant python with a carload of people?"

Long Yangyang couldn't believe that a level 5 mutated beast had appeared less than a month after the apocalypse began. You have to know that the first mutated beast with superpowers in the book appeared three months after the apocalypse, when the male and female protagonists took advantage of the ice to go to the Qingdu base.

Did she experience the same apocalypse as the male and female protagonists?

[Yangyang, 1000 energy points each. A level 5 Devouring Ability can detect spatial fluctuations. I need to mask the mutated giant python's senses before I can get everyone away.]

Long Yangyang: So expensive.

Xiao Fei explained: "Yangyang, you need to understand that my abilities are limited by your strength. The stronger you are, the more my abilities will increase, and the fewer energy points I'll need."

Long Yangyang: Okay, if there's real danger to our lives, just teleport us away.

Energy points can be obtained by killing more zombies, but life is precious and only comes once, Long Yangyang consoled herself.

"Angelica, provide illumination; Yangyang, help me restrain it, and Atractylodes, take the opportunity to escape." Fu Muyu made a decisive decision.

Dozens of fireballs suddenly appeared around the Hummer, illuminating the surrounding scenery. Under the light of the fireballs, Long Yangyang and the others finally saw the appearance of the mutated giant python.

A snake head, as big as a Hummer, hovered in front of it. Its body, winding and stretching for nearly a hundred meters, was covered with white scales the size of a thumb, which gleamed with a cold, icy light.

"Do it."

Extreme coldness spread from Fu Muyu's hand, instantly turning into icicles that froze the opponent's tail. Then, the icicles spread upwards, covering the area with countless layers of coldness. Fu Muyu's ice-type ability, combined with his time-related ability, firmly imprisoned the mutated giant python in place.

The mutated rose surged upwards, its thick vines rising from the ground and climbing the mutated python's robust body. Its barbs plunged deep into the gaps between the python's scales, sucking its blood and flesh.

Long Yangyang placed her palm on the mutated rose vine, unleashing her supernatural power. The bright red roses bloomed alluringly on the vine, filling the air with a rich fragrance, attempting to confuse the people and trap them in an illusion.

"Let's leave now while we can," Fu Muyu reminded him.

Yuan Cangshu floored the accelerator, and the car shot off like an arrow.

"Hiss," the giant python hissed, and suppressed roars came from its mouth.
