End of the World Cycle

Compared to private bases or teams, Xie Qin trusts the official one very much. In addition, he has a free identity, so he is not opposed to the official one.

When a group of people came towards them, Xie Qin did not hide. On the contrary, she also wanted to know the purpose of the official people coming here. About ten minutes later, a dozen fully armed soldiers appeared in their sight.

"Comrade, we are from the Central Military Region. Which base are you from?" The man went straight to the point and asked after stating his identity.

"The Infinite Base."

"Wulian Base?" The man who asked walked closer to Xie Qin, put down his weapon and took off his protective shield. He looked at Xie Qin with amazement on his face.

"Is it Mr. Guo Dongkang's Wuliang Base?"

"Yes. You know us?"

"Yes, yes. This is the base founded by the eldest son of the Eastern Military Region. The instructor mentioned it specifically when we were studying the terrain of the base. I remember it very clearly. My name is Zong Wenqi, and I am the deputy battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the 7th Regiment of the 107th Army of the Central Military Region. What's your name, comrade?"

"Guo Qinling. No position." Xie Qin smiled and nodded.

"Guo Qinling? I know you!"

"Hmm?" Xie Qin frowned in confusion.

"Two years ago, Captain Qin Zhangqin came to our army to teach zombie hunting. I served as his deputy for a year. He often mentioned you."

"Mentioned me? How did you mention me?"

"Captain Qin is a young talent. Many heads of several military regions have taken a fancy to him and want to marry him. Captain Qin even said he has an engagement, isn't it with you? Commander Guo also spoke about it." Zong Wenqi said with a smile.

Xie Qin sneered, but did not say anything else. Qin Zhang had contacted her over the years, but was always stopped by Guo Dongkang. In addition, the army had heavy tasks and it was a period of frequent natural disasters, so she did not find a chance to come to Wuliang Base in person. Xie Qin almost forgot about this person.

But I didn't expect that Mr. Guo was still planning this.

"Sister-in-law! What are you going to do? We can help you." Zong Wenqi was very familiar with her and started to address her. The soldiers who came with him also looked happy, as if they had seen some rare people.

Xie Qin raised his eyes, glanced at Zong Wenqi and spoke lightly.

"I prefer people calling me by my name." Xie Qin's expression was cold, and she was unhappy from the bottom of her heart. She looked at Zong Wenqi with some displeasure. Even the dumbest person could see that Xie Qin was unhappy.

At this time, a soldier on the side pushed Zong Wenqi's elbow.

"Miss Guo and the others are not married yet, you can't call them that."

"Yes! I am not smart enough, Miss Guo, it is Miss Guo. Miss Guo, do you need help?"

"No, I'm just curious, what are you doing here?"

"We are the advance team. We deal with some mutant plants and animals that we can deal with, and then mark the locations of some high-level plants or animals that we cannot deal with. We will make it easier to publish them on official channels so that private teams can hunt them, or our regular hunting teams can eliminate them."

This was not a secret, and Xie Qin also knew that there were advance teams in the city that marked high-level zombies. However, he did not know whether the authorities had dealt with the animals and plants that had just begun to mutate in a timely manner.

“Have you announced these locations?”

"There aren't many mutant plants and animals right now. We've only been out for a month, and we haven't fully explored this primeval forest yet. So we haven't made it public yet. The only thing left is this area to the west."

Xie Qin seemed to smell a benefit. These people had been here for a month, and all of them were well-equipped and wearing gas masks. They should have already had an encounter with the people from the First Base. The fact that these people were fine proved that the First Base did not dare to be an enemy of the official for the time being.

"Can you give me the location of the high-level plants you marked? I just happened to be out hunting with a team as well."

"This, this is too dangerous. With so many of us, we can only deal with mutant plants below the second level. The rest are basically the third level ones."

"Have you found anyone above level three?"

"Well, those above level three are given Wuzhu. One of them is a double parasitic plant. People from the research institute had already come to study it, but for some reason, the plant died." Zong Wenqi took out a small notebook from his pocket and answered.

"Are there any above level three?"

"No, the highest we found is only level three."

"Thank you." Xie Qin smiled and extended his hand to Zong Wenqi.

"Sister-in-law... No! Miss Guo, it's very dangerous. Do you really want to go?"

"Don't worry."

"Well...how about you come with us to mark the western area, and then I will personally take people with you there." Zong Wenqi was still worried. The person in front of him was the wife of his idol and the great-granddaughter of Commander Guo. If something really happened and they knew that I didn't help, ten heads would not be enough.

"Okay." Xie Qin smiled. They had originally planned to search in the western area. Now with more people, the search would definitely be faster. After all, their target was the five third-level plants.

Following Zong Wenqi to the place where they had just fought, there was already a second-level golden thread lotus lying on the ground. The number of people was the same as Shui Limu had counted before, thirty people, not one less. It seemed that this group of people was also very careful.

At a glance, all of them were psychics, all above level three. Zong Wenqi, who had just spoken to him, was a level four wood-type psychic. Most of the people in this team were wood-type psychics, and the rest were mainly earth-type and water-type. The four people in the front row were all level four strength-type, and several scouts were speed-type.

This ratio is just right in the jungle, the Wood, Earth and Water elements can all make good use of things in the jungle to fight and defend, plus the combat power of several fourth-level Strength elements, it is no wonder that this group of people did not suffer any losses in such a dangerous jungle.

Zong Wenqi said something to the two people in the lead, and then the two smiled and nodded at him and stopped talking. Xie Qin slowly led the team and carefully observed these people.

These people were well-trained and fully equipped. Except for the time when Zong Wenqi took off his gas mask when he met him, he never took it off again after that. These people were fully armed. Except for the eyes that could be seen clearly through the goggles, everything else was covered tightly.

The team's positioning was also very particular. The team advanced in an airtight circle, and Xie Qin's people were just trapped in the center of the team.

"Ms. Guo, the unknown area is still quite dangerous. You guys stay with us for the time being. As for your dog..." Zong Wenqi was a little troubled as he looked at the dog running happily outside.

"Don't worry about them, but you can pay attention. They will growl three times when they find the mutant plants. As for my people, you don't have to worry too much. Just follow your original plan. We will take care of our safety."

"OK, thanks."

Although she said that, Xie Qin was still surrounded by Zong Wenqi's men. Xie Qin didn't care. She was happy to have someone protecting her outside.

Huang Yuanyuan was interested in the doctor of the military team. She should be a woman in her twenties and a third-level space-powered person. The red cross on the shoulder sleeve of her military uniform distinguished her identity.

Her appearance could not be seen clearly, but her eyes were very determined. She was jogging along with the team, and her movements were very agile. Huang Yuanyuan was jogging right beside her and wanted to speak, but was choked by the woman who raised her hand seriously to stop her from speaking.

Huang Yuanyuan did this because she thought that the military doctors must be experienced, and since it was her first time following Xie Qin, it would be most convenient to ask them for some experience. However, she did not expect to meet a serious and taciturn person.

The team would stop every kilometer, with six people staying behind to install equipment, while the rest would disperse in groups of three to explore in all directions.

Miao Zhe looked at Xie Qin, and Xie Qin shook his head. Everyone knew that Xie Qin was not going to do anything.

Fifteen minutes later, marking dots began to appear on the screen, red for level one, green for level two, and blue for level three. Xie Qin and his men did not move, but instead looked at the color of the marking dots on the monitor.

Almost all of them were red, with only three green ones here and there. After a while, everyone came back, and the thirty people worked together to clean up the mutant plants in the north.

The first-level mutated plants are easy to deal with. If we spread out a little more people, they can be dealt with quickly. By the time we get to the second-level plants, these people will have a place to stand.

Basically, the earth element mutants erected a protective shield in front, and the wood element grew vines from all sides to control the plants. The team's sniper quickly fired through the center of the plant's crystal core.

It took only two minutes from the start of the attack to the extraction of the crystal core of a second-level plant. However, Zong Wenqi and his men used the same method no matter what kind of plant they were dealing with, no matter how powerful or dangerous it was.

He used all his defense, control and attack skills, and never took off his equipment and gas mask, no matter how tired or hot he was. While cleaning up the wreckage, Xie Qin walked to Zong Wenqi's side.

"If you don't mind, we can also help you clean up and set up a meeting point. It will be faster this way."

"This... might be a little dangerous. There are too few of you."

"I believe in my teammates. According to you, if we go looking for the third-level plants, we will die?"

"Ms. Guo, you know, that's not what I meant. I just want to make sure you're absolutely safe."

Xie Qin didn't say anything else. He smiled and took out a few gas masks from the space and distributed them to a few people. He took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the marked point, then turned and walked in the opposite direction of Zong Wenqi.

Zong Wenqi hesitated for a moment, then said something to a fourth-level power-type psychic beside him. Then the fourth-level power-type psychic and four other people followed Xie Qin.

As soon as they arrived at the location, several people dispersed. Xie Ran and Miao Zhe's spiritual abilities were useless against plants that had no thinking ability, so they took on the central role, looking at the screen to report the location to others. Huang Yuanyuan followed Miao Zhe obediently.

The five people from the Central Military Region who followed were stunned by the actions of these people. Everyone moved very quickly, holding a long sword in hand, and except for the power-type mutant, the others could easily kill the first-level mutant plants without using any abilities.

When they encountered the second-level plants, the little girl with a childish face went over alone. The others didn't care about their teammates' actions at all, as if these mutated plants were just cabbages in their eyes.

The thin pillar of fire pierced into the shaft of the second-level water pineapple like a sharp thorn, and the vegetation that was originally waving its serrated leaves withered instantly. Xu Yangyang nimbly broke open the shaft and took out the crystal core, and immediately went to the next plant.

The five people who originally wanted to help, seeing that these people were able to strangle the mutant plants faster than the thirty of them, suddenly didn't know where to start.

"Lieutenant, can we still help?"

"Follow along, help deal with some of the missed plants, and just keep an eye on Miss Guo's safety at all times."

"it is good."

Originally, it would take about three hours to deal with the mutant plants in a one-kilometer range. With the help of Xie Qin's team, it was done in just one hour.

Before this, Xie Qin would not even look at the first-order mutant plants, but after this hour, he actually had nearly three hundred first-order crystal cores in his hands.

If I can find a way to refine this amount, it will be a considerable amount for me. Although it is a waste of time, it is also an option when I can't find a high-level plant crystal core.

After the two teams met, Zong Wenqi wanted to ask about the situation, but he saw that the five people he sent were panting and had only twenty or so first-level crystal cores in their small bags. Xie Qin and the others were all standing tall and had no problems.

You know, the Wuliang Base team cleared three-fifths of the area in just one hour. It was faster than the 25 of them. It was conceivable that their strength was definitely higher than theirs.

When he heard his deputy say that these people didn't use their powers to deal with the plants, he was even more surprised. What kind of physique is this! He was sure that these people were all above the fourth level of power users, but he couldn't tell what their powers were. This meant that these people's powers were higher than his.

Before this, he thought that the Unscrupulous Team might need their help to deal with the third-level mutant plants, but after an hour, Zong Wenqi realized that their strength was unfathomable, and perhaps they could really deal with all these third-level plants before he left the jungle, without even having to submit a report.

Xie Qin's eyes were all on the moment Zong Wenqi took over the crystal cores from the others and handed them over to the team's military medical caregiver. There were several bags of plant crystal cores, and although they were basically all first-grade, there were a lot of them, and Xie Qin wanted them.

"What do you use your plant crystal cores for?"

"The high-level ones will be sent to the research institute for experiments, and the low-level ones will be given directly to wood-type mutants to restore some of their abilities."

"Can you sell your plant crystal cores? Or exchange them?"

"Hmm? What use do you have for this? To be honest, the research institute has conducted many experiments. Plant crystal cores have little effect on psychics. They can only supplement the abilities of wood psychics. So far, no method of extracting them has been found."

"I must have my own uses. You are just doing an experiment, so you shouldn't need such a large amount, right?"

"It's not useful. Can I ask my superiors for instructions and then give you a reply?"

"of course."

Xie Qin nodded, and then watched Zong Wenqi take out a satellite phone, stand in an open place and start making a call.

After learning that the authorities had not yet developed a method to extract plant crystal cores, Xie Qin felt somewhat regretful. It seemed that Lu Chaoyun was truly a rare talent. At least he had already developed a method to extract plant crystal cores and mutant crystal cores.

Although he had some data, he didn't know as much about the extraction of plant crystal cores as Lu Chaoyun himself. Then he sighed and thought, forget it, there weren't many plant crystal cores anyway, and he still had to eat them, so it wouldn't affect him much if he couldn't extract them.
