Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 172 All Members' Mission
I haven't seen the sun for more than a year. Although most of the sunlight is blocked by the branches and leaves above my head, the spots of sunlight falling on my toes allow me to still feel the warmth of the sun.
If the trend in the previous life had continued, Blue Star should have just experienced its second extreme cold, and the fourth month after the extreme cold ended was followed by an acid rain period that lasted for more than a month.
This means that Blue Star will have at least three months of peace, during which time all countries are rushing to build bases and restore various energy constructions before the end of the world.
Gu Tongwan secretly sighed that he was lucky as he encountered good weather as soon as he went out.
It was just that she hadn't seen plants for a long time, so she felt that the plants after the apocalypse were a little weird. For example, there was clearly a big banyan tree above her head, but this banyan tree was at least thirty meters tall, and its leaves were the size of a palm. There were also many large trees like the banyan tree that were at least dozens of meters tall along the way.
The vegetation here is so lush that it has covered all the surrounding buildings with a layer of fresh green. If she could not barely make out the shops and high-rise buildings along the street before the apocalypse, she would even think that she had mistakenly entered a tropical rain forest.
When she was in the empty city, there was not a single green plant all year round, but here, the plants have mutated into something terrifying. She even saw a Sedum serrata growing out of a crack in the front wall. This plant was only ten centimeters in size before the end of the world, but now it is at least half a meter tall.
And the strangest thing is that she walked here for about half an hour and still didn't encounter any humans or mutant animals. Even the most basic bird calls and insect chirps were gone.
The blood vine on the back of her hand was restlessly moving under the skin, and before she could give the order, a small vine about one or two centimeters long had already appeared. However, it did not act rashly without her command. It seemed as if it had sensed the difference in this world and was eager to understand the surrounding environment.
We identified the surrounding vegetation as we walked, and saw many special vegetation that could only be seen in botanical gardens before the end of the world.
The creeping grass spreading out in the shop on the left is dozens of times larger in appearance, but its oblong, oblanceolate leaves are still easy to recognize.
There are many vines on the ground on the right. The originally white hairs on them now look as sharp as needles. If you accidentally fall into one of them, you will probably get hurt.
It seems that there has been no sign of human habitation here for a long time, otherwise the vegetation would not have grown so lushly.
From the front, you can vaguely see the wide road. There are still a lot of vegetation on both sides of the road, but these vegetation seem to have vitality, and the branches and leaves that spread out in the wind can be controlled freely.
And most importantly, once she approached, the vegetation suddenly became quiet, and the branches that had been twisting wildly before were now very obedient.
Gu Tongwan glanced at Aoao and Tutu on both sides. The two dogs seemed very calm and still walked with steady steps.
The blood vine on the back of his hand was no longer restless. After it popped its head out, it remained very quiet.
Gu Tongwan glanced at the long road in front of him, took out his motorcycle, put on his helmet, and accelerated to full throttle, intending to drive forward for a while. He didn't know where he was yet, so the only thing he could do was to move forward along the road.
***
Thirty miles away from Wucheng.
Wucheng, as a county-level city, had been under the control of Jiangcheng before the end of the world, but now it has fallen into a "forbidden zone".
The first wave of a small-scale beast tide appeared here three days ago, and the Second District (Jiangcheng Base) sent out 300 guard members to suppress it.
There are two off-road vehicles parked near the outskirts of Wucheng. The exterior of the vehicles is already mottled, and one of their doors was even damaged when they were performing another mission. So they simply rebuilt a new door using stainless steel of a different color, and reinforced the four tires. Although the vehicles look a bit funny, the performance of the off-road vehicles is unmatched by other flashy vehicles.
In a building next door, a man with a crew cut was frowning, holding a sniper rifle in his hand. As the sniper in the team, he was waiting boredly for today's target to appear.
Just at this moment, a sharp female voice came from the intercom.
"Zimo, has the target appeared?"
Ye Ziqiu was standing on a 30-story building at point B. The building had survived two major earthquakes and was still standing.
The strong wind made her windbreaker rustle. She squinted her eyes and looked at the road below which was half covered by various vegetation.
Geng Zimo touched his nose and answered in a somewhat depressed tone, "Not yet. I'm wondering if those people at the institute made a mistake. They insisted that they detected a large target nearby. We've been waiting since 3 a.m. yesterday. Almost 12 hours have passed, and we haven't seen a shadow."
Geng Zimo is one of the team members who just returned from a mission in Kyoto. As the team's top sniper, his shooting skills are comparable to Ye Ziqiu's dual guns.
At this time, another clear male voice came from the intercom. He didn't sound very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Brother Zimo, Sister Ziqiu, I'm almost bitten to death by mosquitoes. Can I switch seats with you?"
Xu Qingzhi, who was lying in the bushes feeding mosquitoes, said aggrievedly. He was one of the "Hunters" who were sent to Kyoto like Geng Zimo. He had just returned to the team not long ago and was the youngest among them. He was good at exploration and criminal investigation. His sense of hearing was hundreds of times better than that of normal people and he could detect situations within at least ten kilometers.
"Aokiji, if you are a man, don't be a coward. Come on, be full of energy. We asked you to go on a mission with us right after you came back. You have to perform well, right?"
Liu Hun's unruly voice chuckled into the intercom, which immediately provoked Xu Qingzhi to refute.
"Brother Liu, we are still the flowers of the motherland. Please be gentle to minors. Things like charging into battle should be left to you adults."
Liu Hun immediately smiled and said, "That won't work. I have a family to take care of. It's not convenient."
At this time, Fang Tang's voice also appeared on the intercom.
"Liu Hun, where the hell did you get your family from? Haven't you always been alone?"
Liu Hun said jokingly, "You know nothing. Who knows if the women I've dated over the years have left me with a child?"
"Brother Liu, if that's the case, then you are worse than an animal." Xuyang's gloomy voice sounded through the intercom at this time.
"Yes, yes, Xuyang is right, that word is well used." Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but smile and agree.
"Aokiji, keep up the reconnaissance, it should be soon."
A cold voice immediately interrupted everyone's laughter and cursing, and the only sound in the intercom was the "sizzling" sound of electricity.
Chen Yanxi, dressed in black, stood on a willow tree several dozen meters high, with willow branches on one side entwined around his feet.
And at that moment, the whole tree seemed to be frightened and began to tremble. The willow branches wrapped around his ankles seemed to be frightened and scattered in an instant.
He could only see that there was a thin layer of frost on the place where he was standing, and even a row of icicles hanging down from the entire trunk of the willow tree, all of which were formed in a brief moment.
Today they were sent out to carry out a mission of level B. It is said that before the beast tide comes, a special mutant will appear here, and this mutant seems to be carrying the red crystal core needed for the research in the mountains.
It happened that they had just arrived in the second area not long ago, so the team members had to get familiar with the terrain here as soon as possible. Chen Yanxi would take action when all the members were present.
Normally, Ye Ziqiu, Fang Tang and Xu Qingzhi could complete missions below level B. All members would be mobilized only when carrying out S missions.
But today is a little different. Chen Yanxi also wants to go deeper into the restricted area to investigate some of the plants that had mutated some time ago.
These plants seem to be gaining more and more consciousness of their own, and seem to be able to control low-level mutant beasts.
At this moment, Xu Qingzhi's voice on the intercom suddenly became cautious.
"Boss, the target has been detected approaching within five kilometers!"
