I'll slap you in the end of the world, and I'll slap the zombie king away

In the cafeteria, Lin Duanyue was still thinking about what happened at the bottom of the sea last night, especially the tree of life and her inexplicable feeling... So was she feeling something about that tree? Or those creatures?

Shouldn't it be...

While I was thinking about it, I passed by a table of people who were talking about their current mission.

Lin Duanyue overheard the sentence "Mutated plants have tactics."

"They definitely have tactics. Their gathering this time is completely different from the previous gatherings!"

"Obviously, they even know how to attack in the east and in the west -" A person with superpowers shook his head in disbelief, "I was so stupid. I didn't expect that one day I would be teased by a low-level mutant plant!"

"Low-level mutant plants?"

"Yeah! This is fucked up."

"I encountered high-level mutant plants, but I didn't feel that there was any strategy. I just felt that their attack power seemed to be stronger again... It couldn't be that they became weaker after half a month of training, right?"

While the group was discussing, there was a "clang" and a slightly abrupt collision of the dinner plate and the table.

Several people were stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a girl greeting them very familiarly——

This girl is still an acquaintance.

The guy who had a fight with them last time for cutting in line.

Several people:"……"

Several people watched helplessly as Lin Duanyue sat down on the empty seat.

"You're all eating. You're welcome. Keep eating." Lin Duanyue looked as natural as if she had been with a few people. "Go on, where did you come back from your mission?"

Several people were in a very strange mood, and they didn't even move their chopsticks.

Lin Duanyue took a bite of the food and couldn't help but urge, "Speak!"

"..." The person next to her had a sullen face, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said tentatively: "We went to the volcano outside the base."

Lin Duanyue understood, "It must be the mountain that can switch back and forth between snow-capped mountains and volcanoes. I know, we came from there when we came here. What do you mean by the mutant plants that you just said have tactics?"

After hearing what she said, several people also remembered and asked: "When you came here a few days ago, was that mountain a snow mountain or a volcano?"

Lin Duanyue said: "The night I entered the mountain, it was a snow-capped mountain. Halfway up, it started to turn into a volcano."

"Then we probably haven't had time to encounter too many mutated plants." The strong man who had caused trouble earlier said with a serious look, "When we went there this time, it remained in volcanic form for three days."

Three days... In total, it was about the time they witnessed the snow-capped mountains turn into volcanoes, and then they never changed back to the form of snow-capped mountains.

Seeing that other people's reactions were wrong, Lin Duanyue asked: "How many days does it usually last?"

The lean psychic who was hit hardest by Lin Duanyue's dinner plate last time scratched his head and replied: "What you did that night is normal. It usually lasts about a day and completes the transformation in the middle of the night. Occasionally, there are special circumstances. There will be some small changes, but we've never had a volcanic situation for three days in a row."

"What do you mean by a special situation?" Lin Duanyue asked him, "Didn't the tide rise last night? Does this have any impact?"

"No." He shrugged. "After all, the tide rises and falls every day."

This is true.

"The volcanic form lasted for three days in a row, giving many mutated plants on the mountain time to wake up." The strong man among the four said quietly, "So this clearing operation will make us very tired."

"The attack power of advanced mutant plants has been enhanced."

"The low-level mutated plants have changed their mindless fighting style in the past, and they know how to cooperate this time."

"Thanks to the fact that the superpowers on this mission are all experienced, no one was injured."

"Forget it, the situation has been reported to the captain and the others, so we don't have anything to worry about... Hey, by the way, you guys from the special training camp still need to train in the afternoon, right?" The strong man looked at Lin Duanyue.

Lin Duanyue nodded.

"Where are you training this afternoon?" The lean superpower asked.

Lin Duanyue said: "The grassland in the east."

"It's actually a grassland?" The strong man thought for a while and then reminded him, "There have been a lot of changes in mutated plants recently, and the grassland is a gathering place for mutated plants all year round. You'd better be careful."

Lin Duanyue accepted the reminder and chatted with a few people about the ecological issues around Beta Base.

From the snowy mountains in the north to the grasslands in the east, and then to the sea in the south...

Until the four of them were about to finish their meal.

Lin Duanyue asked casually: "Friends, is there any unpolluted environment near the base?"

"Hasn't it been contaminated?" Several people looked at her as if she had seen a ghost.

This is a joke.

The lean superhuman next to her even stared at her rice and asked, "Is your rice not poisonous?"

How could you ask such a stupid question?

Lin Duanyue: "..."

Seeing this, Lin Duanyue silently swallowed the words "like an unpolluted sea area" that she didn't have time to say.

These people are all old members of Beta Base, and they all react like this now. It seems that no one in Beta Base has encountered the situation last night.

However, the strong man thought of something, "But really, there is a place next to our base... so-so can be considered uncontaminated."

Lin Duanyue glanced at him.

But I immediately understood what he was talking about.

The human base to the west of Beta Base, like the egg building base next to Alpha Base, is a place dedicated to providing a living environment for ordinary humans.

The topic ended here, and the four of them left with their plates. The lean psychic left Lin Duanyue's communication account before leaving, and they were officially acquainted.

Lin Duanyue was replying to Yu Ge's message. Someone was sitting in front of her. She raised her eyes casually and couldn't help but said, "Why did it take you so long to come?"

Shi Jiao wiped his face and didn't know how to speak for a while.

Lin Duanyue was not particular about food, so she found a window with fewer people in line to prepare her meal. Shi Jiao crowded around all the windows to have a look, and finally chose the delicious one from the unpalatable ones, and finally quit the queue after finishing the meal. After that, he turned back and started looking for where Lin Duanyue was going... and then he saw Lin Duanyue talking happily with the four strong men.

Shi Jiao: "..."

Shi Jiao was petrified on the spot, and even felt scared: if he and Lin Duanyue met their eyes at this time, he had no doubt that Lin Duanyue would warmly wave and invite him to join.

So Shi Jiao subconsciously walked in the opposite direction.

He waited until the four people left before coming to meet Lin Duanyue.

After hearing what he said, Lin Duanyue said: "?"

Lin Duanyue felt puzzled and actively enlightened: "Don't be afraid of the four of them. The more afraid you are, the more they like to bully you. Now is an opportunity. You have to normalize this twisted relationship."

"No." Shi Jiao said quietly, "It's not them I'm afraid of."

Lin Duanyue: "???"

Lin Duanyue: "Then what are you afraid of?"

Shi Jiao shook his head, "Guess...so what did you guys talk about just now?"

Lin Duanyue glanced at him suspiciously, held her chin and concluded, "The mutated plants seem to have become organized."
