End of the World Cycle

I looked at the list over and over again, but couldn't make any sense of it.

She was definitely going to take Liu Bo away. Regardless of whether he was powerful or not, the three dogs seemed to only listen to Liu Bo except for herself. There was a horizontal line behind Liu Bo's loyalty, and no data.

After asking Xiaobao, I found out that Liu Bo didn't even know what loyalty was.

Apart from Zhou Lili, Miao Zhe has the highest loyalty of 97, followed by Xu Kai and Dr. Lan at 96.

There are a lot of people with 95 loyalty, but they are all unsuitable. They are either too old, or have families to support, or their special abilities are not that strong.

After all the calculations, it seems that Muzhe is the better choice, after all, she will have to operate some computer-related things after going out. Having Muzhe is also a guarantee. She also plans to go to the first base. If Muzhe is not in the first base, they will definitely be exposed.

Xie Qin set his eyes on Huang Yuanyuan's name.

Ordinary people, loyalty 85, bringing her along is undoubtedly a burden. But think about it carefully, under the guidance of Dr. Lan in the past two years, Huang Yuanyuan has made the fastest progress. Not only is she a general practitioner, she is young and has a good physique.

Now that the healing psychics Dr. Lan and Liu Xiangyi are both old, it is unrealistic to take them away, so Huang Yuanyuan seems to be a good choice.

Her relationship with Miao Zhe could perhaps become a bond. After all, it wasn't too dangerous outside yet, so she could be taken out for observation first, and if possible, she could be made a regular member of the team later.

(Xie Qin, Xie Ran, Xu Yangyang, Shui Liqing, Shui Limu, Liu Bo, Miao Zhe, Huang Yuanyuan)

Xie Qin wrote down the names of eight people, and the number was decided. Then Xie Qin handed the list to Zhou Lili. Zhou Lili was careful and good at observing people's hearts. To be on the safe side, except for Xie Ran, he went to meet these people separately.

Especially Huang Yuanyuan, he spent a day taking Huang Yuanyuan shopping and chatting. After getting along with her for a while, he didn't feel there were any major problems, so he started to tell Huang Yuanyuan about joining the Wuliang team.

After finalizing the candidate, Zhou Lili called Miao Zhe to start making plans for Xie Qin based on his memories of his previous life. The starting route was set in the southernmost primeval forest.

Everything is aimed at improving Xie Qin's abilities, and the naturally mutated plant crystal core is the goal of their team.

Before setting off, Xie Qin exchanged the combat uniforms belonging to their team in the system mall. Different from the ones Ning Cheng gave her before, the combat uniforms exchanged in the Doomsday System were similar to military camouflage and more concealed, but they were mainly black and looked more refined.

After changing their clothes, several people stood together and looked like a team.

Xie Qin glanced at Xu Yangyang, who was just fifteen years old, and couldn't help rolling her eyes. She had finally transformed herself and grown to 164cm tall. But Xu Yangyang was only fifteen years old and already 175cm tall. Who could she go to for justice?

Xu Yangyang looked at Xie Qin with stars in her eyes and admired her very much. Her boss was perfect, good-looking, good-tempered, smart, kind, and had strong superpowers. What she could see was a slim and beautiful woman with long legs, leaning on Xie Qin's shoulder.

Xu Yangyang was so happy that Xie Qin was willing to take her out to do the mission that she didn't sleep well for three days.

If Xie Qin knew how she looked in Xu Yangyang's heart, she would probably blush. It is said that beauty is in the eyes of lovers, but one would never expect that the same is true in the eyes of subordinates!

To put it in a way that it was before the end of the world, Xu Yangyang was a die-hard fan of Xie Qin, and even his farts smelled good.

Before departure, several people were arguing over the issue of getting in the car. They all wanted to ride in the same car with Xie Qin, but Shui Limu was smart and knew how to drive, so he jumped into the driving seat with his long legs.

The only thing left was Shui Liqing, Xie Ran and Xu Yangyang struggling, and in the end the three of them played rock-paper-scissors, and Xie Ran walked to the second car at the back in a sullen manner.

The second car was driven by Miao Zhe. It was a pickup truck with modified tires. It had five seats in the front and the back compartment was just big enough for three dogs to lie down.

Miao Zhe looked at Xie Ran coming over, smiled and shook his head, then handed the meat bun in his hand to Huang Yuanyuan.

"Will it be dangerous to go out?" Huang Yuanyuan was still worried. It was not that she didn't want to, but she had finally survived and had a stable life, and she didn't want to disrupt this peace.

But after two years of living together, she was worried about Miao Zhe. Her relationship with him was already shallow before the end of the world, and she didn't want to lose the lover she had finally welcomed.

"Don't be afraid, the boss is very strong. Besides, I'm here to protect you."

"Yeah. I believe in the boss, and I believe in you too." Huang Yuanyuan looked at the back of Xie Qin's head in the back seat of the car in front through the car window and nodded.

How should I put it? For Huang Yuanyuan, Xie Qin is a ray of light in the darkness. Being able to help her can also be considered a comfort to herself.

Xu Yangyang in the front car used his agility to get into the back seat and sit next to Xie Qin. Shui Liqing reluctantly sat in the passenger seat.

Two modified off-road vehicles drove out of the base.

There were ruins all along the way, with some plants growing on the ruins. It hadn't been that long, and the plants weren't lush. Except for the collapsed road surface, there was still some road surface in other places.

The car in front led the way, while Xie Ran in the car behind operated the instrument to record the road conditions. The map was generated in real time and transmitted back to the base. Every time the car reached the limit of the base station, it would stop and find the right position to set up a small base station.

The location of the base station is shown on the map with a red dot, which also facilitates the maintenance of the base station. After all, communication is so important that instant information transmission is essential.

Their signals expanded little by little, gradually connected like a net, and kept in touch with the base at all times.

On the way south, Xie Qin watched as more and more areas were covered with green. The vegetation became lush and there were many zombies, but he didn't encounter any people.

The vegetation now is still normal. Along the way, we only saw some plants that had just mutated. It is estimated that even the crystal nuclei have not condensed. When we reached the outskirts of the mountain in the southern primeval forest, Xie Qin stopped the car.

After three days of travel, it was already past four in the afternoon when I arrived at the outskirts of the forest. It would undoubtedly be dangerous to go in at this time. When I thought about how I almost died in the forest in my previous life, I couldn't help but become alert.

"Let's take a stand here." After getting off the car, several people stood next to Xie Qin. After Xie Qin spoke, he began to prepare in an orderly manner.

Soon four RVs were released. Miao Zhe got into one and began to assemble a computer. Dozens of drones were also charged and placed on the table.

Xu Yangyang was also helping to debug the communication headset. After the debugging was completed, no one was distributed.

After the equipment was ready, it was almost seven o'clock. The four RVs were placed in a fan shape with a canopy and tent set up in the middle. Inside the tent, Xie Qin placed some daily tools, some fresh fruits and vegetables, and two boxes of hot weapons.

Under the canopy were some firewood that Liu Bo and his friends had brought back from the outskirts of the forest, and a dining table. It was a bit chilly at night, and everything around was pitch black, with only the crackling sound of a fire burning outside the canopy.

Dinner was prepared by Zhang Mingfang in advance. Eight delicious set lunch boxes were prepared for each person, and they sat down at the table to eat. During the meal, Miao Zhe took out the communication equipment and small base stations, and explained to everyone how to use them and how to build a simple base station.

Each person also has a positioning screen similar to a watch. The red color represents the location of the signal base station, and the green color represents the location of the team members. Everyone can add base stations and find teammates based on the information above.

This team is very strong. All of them have fourth-level superpowers, especially Xie Ran, whose mental control is infinitely close to the fifth-level level.

If Xie Ran is given the fourth-level capsules for another two months, he will definitely be able to break through to level five. Sometimes Xie Qin is really envious, because when it comes to himself, he can only rely on inhalation and plant crystal cores. So he only upgraded the space system to the fourth level before leaving.

The next morning, Miao Zhe, Huang Yuanyuan and Xie Ran stayed in the camp. Miao Zhe operated the equipment, and 18 drones set out from the camp to begin investigating the situation in the forest.

Xie Ran spread his mental power from his original position to the surroundings to ensure the safety around the camp. As an ordinary person, Huang Yuanyuan stayed by Miao Zhe's side. It was safest to have the protection of Xie Ran and Miao Zhe.

Xie Qin led the dog and Liu Bo to the north. Shui Liqing and Xu Yangyang went into the forest northeast, while Shui Limu went southeast alone.

Ah Ha led the way, Ah Wu and Ah Hua scouted on both sides of Xie Qin, and Liu Bo walked in front of Xie Qin. He was so strong that he could easily overturn trees and create a clean path for Xie Qin.

Xie Qin couldn't help but twitch his lips and grabbed Liu Bo's arm.

"Uncle, we don't need to. We can go around this tree."

Liu Bo has a fourth-level ability, and with his studies at school, he already has basic communication skills. He scratched his head with a silly smile, then nodded heavily.

"it is good!"

About 800 meters ahead, Xie Qin heard a dog barking. Then there was a low growl that exuded hostility. Xie Qin knew that it had encountered prey. He quickly followed.

At first glance, it was the most common mutant hare. It looked the same as a rabbit, but was much larger, about the size of an adult large dog, but its incisors were very long and pointed, and its ears were triangular and looked very hard.

Although his three dogs also mutated, the changes were not significant. They were just a little bigger, but only slightly bigger than the mutated rabbit mentioned above. Their claws became much wider and thicker. Otherwise, there were no changes from before.

But when facing the rabbit, Xie Qin clearly felt that the three dogs had become more sensitive. Especially the two Border Collies, they had quietly circled to the sides of the rabbit. The three dogs obviously surrounded the rabbit, but did not take any action.

Xie Qin had trained them for two years, and the dogs were waiting for his instructions. Xie Qin, who was hiding behind a tree, took out a round, long-tubed spoon, and the moment the sound was heard, the three dogs pounced on the rabbit from three directions.

The rabbit was also fast, but it had no way to escape when it was attacked from three sides at the same time. In the moment of hesitation, its neck was bitten off by Ah Hua's sharp fangs.

This was the first time that Xie Qin had directly seen the strength of the three dogs. He instantly felt that the three dogs were just playing with him when they trained with him. Their speed and strength were completely on a different level than now.

Looking at the three dogs, she had an idea. Perhaps the spiritual spring water was also useful for dogs, and dogs would always be her most loyal friends. With this idea, Xie Qin did it immediately. While observing the rabbits, she had already taken out water and asked Liu Bo to feed the dogs.

This rabbit has no crystal core, it should be just the most initial mutation. Xie Qin didn't plan to eat this meat, but he also put it into the space. It should be fine to feed the dog after roasting it.

"Boss, one kilometer to your northwest, there is a Alsophila spinulosa fern, and its crown has reached a diameter of nearly fifty meters." Miao Zhe's message came through the headset. The drone was the first to discover the plant with obvious mutations. The leaves of ordinary Alsophila spinulosa fern are only about three to five meters long when opened. The nearly tenfold increase is definitely not an ordinary mutation.

"clear."

After receiving the message, Xie Qin ran in that direction.

Soon after, Xu Yangyang, Shui Limu and Shui Liqing also received the news and headed towards the mutant plants closest to them.

The primeval forests in the south were even denser than the mountains in Mengga City that Xie Qin had visited in his previous life. Along the way, the plants Xie Qin saw had basically mutated, but the degree of mutation was not serious.

The air was extremely humid, and almost every treetop was infested with fungi. All along the way, the surface of my clothes was damp, but fortunately my combat uniform was waterproof, so it wasn't too uncomfortable.

After jogging for a kilometer, Xie Qin was surprised by the mutated plants in front of him. The Alsophila spinulosa fern had mutated to a height of about 30 meters, and its crown and branches spread out like a huge umbrella, blocking the light from all the surrounding plants.

Everything under the tree canopy had withered and died. Xie Qin was very familiar with that feeling, which was the appearance of a living thing dying after its energy was sucked away. He had seen the Alsophila spinulosa fern on the tree before, but it looked different at this moment.

Thin parasitic vines grew from the leaves, hanging down in the middle of the bush, and occasionally moved like living things. There were also bright red small fruits on them, which looked very uncomfortable.

The two men and three dogs did not make any sound, and they were still standing 20 meters away from the Alsophila spinulosa. The spiritual power spread out, following the trunk to the ground. There was nothing to find, and then it went up along the trunk to the top, which was similar to a nest. Finally, the crystal core of the plant was found.

They were two third-order mutant plants that parasitized each other. Xie Qin had never seen the other plant before, but the crystal cores of the two plants were in the same place. After finding the location, Xie Qin was in trouble. The height was too high, more than 30 meters high, and the trunk diameter was estimated to be about 5 meters. It was unrealistic to cut down the tree and knock it down.

Xie Qin picked up a stone and threw it towards the tree trunk. Before the stone hit the ground, it was entangled by the small thin vines that extended out and shattered instantly.

Xie Qin couldn't help but open his eyes wide. The power of this plant was too great! Fortunately, he didn't act rashly. He was determined to get the two third-level plant crystal cores. He looked at Liu Bo, looked at Gou Zi, and thought about himself. It didn't seem easy to get them.

Plants are not like zombies or humans, who can be directly controlled by their own mental power and will not give themselves time to negotiate. They will indiscriminately attack any plant or animal that enters their territory.

After a while, I thought of two solutions. Either I had to burn it violently, or I had to find a way to make it unaware of me and climb up to get it.

The first method would make too much noise, and such a large mutant plant would consume too much energy, which might not be worth the effort. The second method would depend on Shui Liqing. He looked at Shui Liqing's position, which was about five kilometers away from him and Xie Yuan. It would take time to go back and forth.

I simply marked the location and asked Miao Zhe for the location of the next plant. I will wait until tomorrow when Shui Liqing and I come together to get these two plants.
