Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter Forty-Eight: Crossing the River

"After subduing Little Silver, I feel much calmer along the way." Long Yangyang looked down at the mutated giant python that was pretending to be a silver bracelet on Fu Muyu's wrist. She couldn't believe that such a beautiful ornament was the mutated giant python that was once as big as a small mountain.

Fu Muyu named him Yinzhu, while Long Yangyang simply called him Xiaoyin, saying it sounded more affectionate that way.

“Silver Candle is of a high level, and no mutated animals have appeared along the way. In addition, Miao Miao’s ability to deter mutated plants means we only need to be wary of the zombies that occasionally block our path,” Yun Cangshu agreed.

Before the apocalypse, it would take at most six hours to fly from Kunshan Province to Qingdu. Now, they drove along, stopping and starting, for almost a week, and still hadn't reached the Yangtze River.

It wasn't always roadblocks requiring detours; it was always encountering mutated plants, animals, or zombies. Now that Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu had released the mutated rose and the mutated python, they had far fewer problems.

If it weren't for the fact that the apocalypse had just begun and the survivors still had a lot of supplies at home, the journey might have been even more turbulent.

"Yangyang, aren't you going to tame the mutated ivy and mutated poppy we encountered the other day? After all, they are level three supernatural plants. Are you just going to leave them in flowerpots?"

Looking at the lush green Virginia creeper in the flowerpot in the trunk, and the strange blue flowers with clusters of blossoms whose original species were completely unrecognizable, Bai Zhi felt a little scared.

The mutated ivy can become invisible, and the mutated poppy is not only poisonous but also causes hallucinations, making it impossible to guard against. If it weren't for Miao Miao's reminder, the three of them, except for Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu, would probably have been eaten by these two mutated plants long ago.

I don't know what's going on with this apocalypse. Plants that were originally docile and only needed photosynthesis have all turned into carnivores and are extremely ferocious.

Long Yangyang shook her head, "I already have Miaomiao and Yuyu, and I don't plan to add any more mutated plants for the time being." Wood-type ability users need to consume mental energy to control mutated plants, especially Miaomiao, whose level is much higher than Long Yangyang's, so Long Yangyang has to consume a lot of mental energy to control her.

"Green and Blue have pretty good skills and are at a good level. I plan to take them back to Qingdu to give to my mother and Brother Fu's younger brother. They are also wood-type ability users."

Green is the mutated ivy that can become invisible, and Blue is the mutated poppy.

If a wood-type ability user cannot subdue mutated plants, their combat power will be greatly reduced. They can only be used to grow plants and become farmers. As for purifying crystal cores and healing, once the wood-type ability user's level increases, all wood-type ability users will be able to do it, and it will no longer be precious.

"I thank Yangyang on behalf of my brother." Fu Muyu didn't expect Long Yangyang to have left a plant for his brother, and his gaze fell on Long Yangyang with tenderness.

Long Yangyang avoided Fu Muyu's gaze shyly, "I watched Xiao Muheng grow up. His father doesn't want him, so as his older sister, I definitely have to help him."

Long Yangyang has the original owner's memories, and she still has a deep impression of Fu Muheng, the younger brother she has watched grow up. He is sunny, cheerful, tall and handsome, and has a completely different personality from Fu Muyu.

Thinking about how Fu Muheng was tricked by Fu Yang and ended up being devoured by a horde of zombies in the end of the book, I definitely had to make plans for him in advance.

Upon hearing Long Yangyang mention Fu Mingyuan's name, a dark glint flashed in Fu Muyu's eyes. He needed to return to Qingdu to understand the situation before considering any further plans regarding the Fu family.

The Fu family is different from Mo Qingfeng; it is a behemoth that cannot be easily touched.

"Brother Fu, what are you thinking about?"

Fu Muyu came to his senses and realized that the car had stopped without him noticing. Looking ahead, he noticed that the bridge they were on, as shown on the map, was broken in the middle, with a gap of about twenty meters.

The Hummer was stopped at the broken bridge.

"Boss, can you use ice to build a bridge across the broken bridge?" Yun Cangshu asked.

“No problem,” Fu Muyu replied. As for the issue of the ice melting rapidly under high temperatures, he could continuously output his special ability to ensure the thickness and hardness of the ice.

However, Fu Muyu carefully observed the crack in the broken bridge and said, "It looks like it was broken off by a huge object, and there are also signs of tearing at the crack."

Fu Muyu warily watched the eastward-flowing river beneath the bridge. What mutated creature lurked beneath the calm surface? They had no idea. "Cang Shu, did you sense any danger?"

Yun Cangshu looked serious. "No." He even doubted whether there was something wrong with his superpower. Like Fu Muyu, Yun Cangshu did not believe that there was no danger at all in the vast river.

Haven't you seen how troublesome mutated plants and animals on land are? He doesn't believe that this global catastrophe will leave out the creatures underwater.

"Can animals and plants turn into zombies?" Qiu Ling asked curiously.

"No way, after all, we haven't encountered any zombie animals or zombie plants along the way," Bai Zhi guessed.

"Don't let your guard down, just in case," Long Yangyang reminded her. From what she knew of the plot, there were zombie animals and plants, but the zombie animals and plants would make their first appearance in the extreme winter.

“Staying on the broken bridge isn’t a solution. Should we go across?” Long Yangyang asked. They were currently in the middle of the river, which was extremely dangerous.

Whether advancing or retreating, once attacked, there is no way to escape.

Long Yangyang's teleportation has a distance limit; she cannot teleport the car to the other side in one go. Once her superpower is exhausted, it would be extremely dangerous for her and the car to fall into the river.

"Go forward. Yangyang, conserve your strength and abilities. If we encounter danger, try to teleport everyone away." Fu Muyu waved his right hand, and an ice bridge appeared on the fault line of the cross-river bridge. "Cangshu, let's go."

Just as the Hummer stepped onto the ice bridge, a violent shaking suddenly came from below. Yun Cangshu sensed danger, and a fleeting image flashed before his eyes: "Danger! I saw a blue-haired person, very beautiful."

After cultivating with the purification crystal core for the past few days, Yun Cangshu, Bai Zhi, and Qiu Ling's superpowers have advanced to level three. After advancing his precognitive superpower, Yun Cangshu is now able to see a certain scene in the future.

"Are you sure? It's not an earthquake?" Qiu Ling asked in a panic.

"There's something under the bridge." Fu Muyu increased his power output, continuously reinforcing the area under the vehicle with layers of ice to prevent the ice bridge from being destroyed. "Qiu Ling, see what it is?"

Qiu Ling quickly opened the window and peered down the bridge. Sure enough, there was a huge black shadow pressing down on the thick ice bridge. The shadow's massive body almost completely overlapped with the broken bridge. Qiu Ling could clearly see the markings above its head: Mutant Megalodon, Level 5, Water-based Ability.

"Megalodon? Wasn't that creature extinct?" Yun Cangshu could hardly believe his ears. "Qiu Ling, are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

Yun Cangshu understood Qiu Ling's special ability. As expected, after Qiu Ling's ability advanced to level three, she was able to see more information about the other party. A red bar appeared below the blue bar. Because of this, they recently added Chinese lessons for Qiu Ling when they had nothing to do in the car, specifically teaching Qiu Ling to recognize characters.

Qiu Ling nodded affirmatively.

Yun Cangshu's expression changed. "Boss, it's said that the Megalodon's bite force is extremely powerful."

As soon as Yun Cangshu finished speaking, everyone felt the car shake. Fu Muyu had to widen the ice bridge to prevent the car from falling into the river.
