The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

Is anyone injured?

After Ye Xiao asked the question, everyone immediately began to check themselves, carefully examining their bodies for any injuries.

"no!"

Everyone shook their heads. Ye Xiao looked at Liu Yang, who seemed to have finally calmed down from the fear and unease brought on by the series of attacks. He shook his head, grinned, and tried to force himself to say something.

But after seeing Ye Xiao and Bai Hu's gazes, he swallowed back the boast he hadn't yet uttered.

He silently shook his head. "I... I'm not injured either."

At this moment, Liu Yang silently lowered his head, seemingly having lost the confidence he had initially displayed with such arrogance.

Although the scorching sun overhead was burning hot, Liu Yang could still feel the coolness in his hands and feet after his blood had cooled down.

If Ye Xiao hadn't reacted quickly enough, the human-headed cat would have pounced on Liu Yang's face.

He still remembers the feeling of that deformed head falling into his arms. Recalling that terrifying and disgusting face, Liu Yang suddenly felt a little nauseous and couldn't help but gag.

[Milk Egg Not Bland: Seriously? Seriously? Our king of verbal sparring isn't going to throw up, is he?]

[Sanhu: Although it's a little better than the previous two, it's only a little.]

……

Ye Xiao glanced at Liu Yang, who was barely suppressing the urge to vomit, and saw that his eyes were involuntarily welling up with tears. He chuckled.

"Wow, you have a pretty long reaction time, better than Zhou Qirui and the others before. Can you handle it?"

Liu Yang took a deep breath. Gone was his previous arrogance. The reaction in his stomach forced him to compromise with the current situation.

Liu Yang shook his head. "No, no problem."

After the sudden incident, he finally felt a sense of reality in the apocalypse, which was completely different from watching it in the live stream.

Only after experiencing it firsthand did I realize that things were not as simple as they seemed, and that one could lose their life if they were not careful.

Liu Yang, however, was afraid of dying.

But he still had his pride, so no matter what, he didn't dare to show the slightest sign of backing down.

Liu Yang changed his attitude at this moment and forced a smile at Ye Xiao:

"Xiao, Brother Xiao, where do we go next?"

Oh, you can call me Brother Xiao now?

After all, he was still a "pure yet foolish" college student. Ye Xiao thought of himself when he was still in school. After being beaten down by reality, Liu Yang changed very quickly.

Although Liu Yang likes to boast and is stubborn, and cares a lot about his image, he is quick to adapt.

Ye Xiao looked at Tian Haifeng and said, "You guys are familiar with this place, so lead the way. Let's collect plant samples first. There's no rush to collect mutants. Let Lao Gui and the others get used to the battle first."

Everyone accepted Ye Xiao's arrangement without question. White Fox glanced at Ye Xiao, nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised by Ye Xiao's actions.

According to the information provided above, he had also seen Ye Xiao's detailed information.

After graduating from a sports academy, with divorced parents and few close relatives, he worked part-time as a game streamer while looking for a job due to the poor job prospects in recent years.

His physical fitness was pretty good because he studied sports and worked out regularly. He wasn't very sociable. That was all he knew about Ye Xiao.

But upon arriving here, White Fox discovered that, perhaps due to a month of tempering in the apocalypse, Ye Xiao not only possessed a maturity and composure uncommon among his peers, but also leadership and courage.

At the very least, Ye Xiao never showed the slightest fear when facing him, the people from those bases, and the mutants.

Led by Tian Haifeng and Zhou Hu, the group slowly made their way into the heart of the city.

As we walked, a large expanse of green suddenly appeared ahead, unlike the thin layer of green carpet that had previously covered the abandoned buildings.

The dense, lush greenery in the distance evoked a strange sense of disgust and repulsion; the vast expanse of green was so intertwined that no other colors or objects could be seen.

The intertwined giant vines and branches seemed to weave a huge fortress and roof, covering and enveloping the entire area, shrouding all the buildings in the area in front in dense foliage, making them impossible to see.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Ah Zhao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Han Yu and Wang Yao shook their heads, clearly also astonished by what they were seeing.

Zhou Hu frowned and muttered, "That's strange. Was this area here before? I remember the vegetation was very lush when I came here before, but it wasn't this dense."

Ye Xiao took out his binoculars and looked at the vast green dome in the distance, when Tian Haifeng's voice sounded from the side.

"There used to be a fairly large botanical garden over there, but it seems that something else has changed since the rainy season!"

"Ye Xiao!"

The white fox glanced at Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao took down his binoculars, turned his head, and saw the white fox nod at him.

Ye Xiao understood what the white fox meant. He took a deep breath and said:

"Let's go, let's get closer and take a look."

The group began to move in that direction. Liu Yang moved closer to Ye Xiao and started chatting casually, trying to get on his good side.

"Brother Xiao, we're collecting plant samples, aren't they everywhere?"

Ye Xiao glanced at him, "What value is there in something ordinary?"

Seeing Ye Xiao speak up, Liu Yang immediately replied with a smile:

"So that means it's going to mutate? By the way, do those plants have that seed nucleus?"

Ye Xiao nodded. "Yes, I've heard that anything that mutates has a core."

Liu Yang stroked his chin, glanced at Chen Ge and his group who were leading the way and keeping watch, and whispered:

"Why does the higher-ups want to research this? Do they want to cultivate high-yield grains? Giant wheat ears? Giant rice? Giant cabbages?"

Ye Xiao recalled the botanical garden in the base and said, "I guess so. There are giant ears of wheat in the botanical garden in the base, as tall as trees, and the grains are as big as date pits."

"There's also cabbage, which is similar to banana leaves, but it's said to be more difficult to control. If control goes wrong, it can lead to excessive mutations."

Liu Yang was shocked. "Oh my god, isn't that very dangerous?"

Ye Xiao shook his head. "These are not our concerns. There are experts and researchers above who will naturally do their best to study them."

Researching these things would definitely pose safety risks. Ye Xiao didn't know what the higher-ups were thinking, but judging from their attitude, they should also be well aware that these things posed too great a threat.

Ye Xiao guessed that, in order to prevent the situation from turning out the same way as here, the people above would definitely not allow such a hidden danger to be brought back.

The safest approach would be to establish an experimental base here, conduct research, and then bring back safe and reliable results once successful.

This is the safest and most reliable method.

Ye Xiao felt depressed and upset. He was just a streamer, but now he felt like he was shouldering a heavy national responsibility.

After a while of lost in thought, the group silently followed the edge of the building, crossed several streets, and arrived near the green dome.

They hadn't found a single mutated creature along the way, but this didn't make Zhou Hu and his companions look any better; instead, it made them even more serious.

Han Yu specifically gave White Fox and Old Ghost a word of advice:

"In this situation, the quieter it is, the more dangerous it is. Generally, you can only not see other mutants around the presence of large mutants."

"Because the mutants can devour and merge with each other, this route is too safe, and we haven't seen many mutant plants, which means there must be large mutant plants in the plant area ahead."

Seeing that the white fox and the others were listening attentively, Ah Zhao added some supplementary information from the side.

"Moreover, under normal circumstances, mutated organisms are not afraid of mutated plants. However, if there are no traces of mutated organisms in the vicinity of the mutated plant, it means that the mutated plant is quite dangerous and even other mutated organisms are afraid of it."

As the group gradually approached the green dome, the people who had been talking involuntarily fell silent.

Upon closer inspection, the enormous green dome, taller than a skyscraper, exuded an indescribable sense of oppression, leaving everyone stunned.

The lush greenery and dense foliage intertwined to form a huge canopy, enveloping the entire block in front of it.

It gives people an indescribable feeling of suffocation and oppression.

"My God!"

Old Ghost couldn't help but sigh, Liu Yang suddenly felt his legs trembling, and even Ye Xiao felt his whole body shudder.

For some reason, I had a feeling that the area in front of me was like a green hell.
