"The direction Starseed is pointing at … the plant is inside this big gap!"
Jiang Liushi carefully stared at the cave-like gap, and his heart was beating like a drum.
The cave was less than one meter wide, and it was so dark that one couldn't see the end.
If there was something strange inside, the risk would be very high.
"Brother Jiang, I didn't find any spiritual fluctuations."
Ran Xiyu used her spiritual power to explore the cave gap for a while, and then she shook her head.
Ling, who had followed Jiang Liushi, quickly killed the scattered zombies in the grass. She, Zhang Hai, and Sun Kun were divided into three directions, guarding the side.
Jiang Liushi felt relieved and went into the cave.
Although the cave was dark, it could not block Jiang Liushi's vision.
The cave was very big, like a mutant beast's cave. The ground was obviously thick with fangs.
Jiang Liushi's eyes suddenly shrank. In the depths of the cave, he clearly saw a pile of huge corpses.
It was a mutant beast's corpse, more than three meters long and more than one meter high.
The corpse had been completely dried up, leaving only a layer of skin and some internal organs.
There was a huge wound on the corpse's abdomen.
A pigeon egg-sized mutant nucleus was lying quietly in the wound.
"Level-1 mutant nucleus?" Jiang Liushi could not help but smile.
Although he didn't know how the mutant beast died, it was really worth it to leave behind a level-1 mutant nucleus.
Above the corpse, a small cluster of thorny thorns protruded.
In addition, he did not see any plants that could secrete active metals.
[Detected the energy fluctuations of the plant … detected the energy fluctuations of the plant …]
The strange thing was that the Starseed in his mind was repeatedly reminding him.
Jiang Liushi frowned slightly. Where was the plant?
No matter what, he had to get the level-1 mutant nucleus first.
He just took a step forward and stretched out his hand toward the nucleus in the abdomen of the corpse.
A sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, there was a strange movement under the corpse. Thorns burst out, overturning the sky full of dust.
Under the seemingly ordinary thorns, the part buried in the soil was actually innumerable flashing metal-like barbs.
Not only that, the thorns secreted a kind of smelly mucus, which flew to Jiang Liushi's body.
But the moment the thorns burst out, Jiang Liushi's brain reacted.
He quickly retreated and dodged most of the barbed metal needles.
However, some of the needles and mucus still stuck to his body, burning a few holes in his clothes.
Fortunately, Jiang Liushi's body had been strengthened, so the corrosive mucus only left a few white marks on his skin.
"Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"
Hearing the noise, Zhang Hai and Ling quickly rushed over, just in time to meet Jiang Liushi.
Behind Jiang Liushi, there was a monster-like giant thorn, covered with yellow soil, rushing to the entrance of the cave.
It seemed to sense that it didn't catch its prey, so it slowly retreated.
"Mutant … mutant plant?"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Hai was quite shocked, and he was dumbfounded.
Jiang Liushi nodded. The Starseed in his mind was still constantly reminding him, so he could confirm that the mutant thorns in front of him were the mutant plants.
Unexpectedly, there was more than one type of xenogeneic plant here.
Not only could there be xenogeneic plants that could secrete active metals, but also mutant thorns that could camouflage and hunt for meat.
"Ying, drive the MCV over, and use the mechanical arm to dig out the mutant thorns inside!"
Jiang Liushi felt a little scared. That plant was too dangerous, even Ran Xiyu's spiritual detection couldn't detect it.
But since even he felt that it was dangerous, if he could dig it out and open the 'Xenogeneic Plant Cultivation Laboratory', it would definitely be a great weapon.
Jiang Liushi ordered, and the MCV's two long mechanical arms stretched out and rushed into the cave.
Under Ying's control, the mechanical arms were like an extension of her life, so she could accurately grasp the situation in the cave.
After a while, the struggling mutant thorns were carefully dug out.
The level-1 mutant nucleus also fell into Jiang Liushi's hands.
However, many of the mutant thorns' rhizomes had drilled into the mutant beast's corpse.
At that time, the Starseed's prompt sounded in Jiang Liushi's mind again.
[Xenogeneic plant-mutant thorns, Verbenaceae metamorphosis mutant, carnivorous, likes acidic soil environment deficient in nitrogen …]
[Captured mutant thorns, triggering the opening conditions of the Xenogeneic Plant Cultivation Laboratory … Opening the laboratory requires more than two kinds of xenogeneic plants, two level-2 mutant nuclei, and the required metals are as follows …]
[Hint: The opening of the hidden project will affect the MCV's future evolution direction.]
Jiang Liushi was surprised to see the information given by Starseed.
It was worthy of being a hidden evolutionary project. Unexpectedly, opening it required two mutant nuclei and a pile of rare metals.
Opening the Energy Research Laboratory only required one level-2 mutant nucleus.
It could be seen that the level of the Xenogeneic Plant Cultivation Laboratory was higher than the Energy Research Laboratory.
However, Jiang Liushi needed three level-2 mutant nuclei to further evolve the MCV.
If he spent the level-2 mutant nuclei on the laboratory …
Jiang Liushi smiled bitterly. He didn't have many level-1 mutant nuclei, let alone level-2 ones.
But he made up his mind to open the Xenogeneic Plant Cultivation Laboratory first.
Through Starseed's prompt, he also knew how important the hidden project was, as it could affect the MCV's future evolution direction.
Moreover, the hidden project was not an evolutionary project that could appear with the upgrade of the MCV. It needed to be triggered by Starseed himself, and there were certain random conditions.
If he missed this opportunity, there would be no such opportunity.
In order to make long-term plans and to ensure the survival of the xenogeneic plants, Jiang Liushi had to open the Xenogeneic Plant Cultivation Laboratory.
After making a decision, Jiang Liushi threw the mutant thorns into the MCV's storage space.
Although it had special requirements for the cultivation soil, its vitality was tenacious, so it wouldn't die in a short time.
[Starseed, continue to scan the surrounding xenogeneic plants' energy fluctuations …] Jiang Liushi said in his mind.
A few hours later, the sun was high in the sky.
With a loud explosion, a hundred-meter-tall building collapsed with a loud rumble.
The earth trembled a few times.
For a time, dust filled the sky, and gravel splashed, covering the surrounding more gloomy.
Most of the hundreds of zombies on the opposite side of the street were crushed into flesh and blood by the collapsed buildings.
The heads of some lucky zombies that escaped were also smashed by the Battle Union's soldiers with iron hammers.
"Reporting, the sixth district has successfully prevented a large number of zombies' sneak attack. 16 ordinary soldiers and two paranormals have died …"
"Reporting, the first district has destroyed the Qianxiang Building. Seven ordinary soldiers and three paranormals have died in the explosion. Two level-1 mutant zombies have been killed …"
…
One by one, the district leaders reported the battle situation to Ran Yunsha.
They had entered the hinterland of the forbidden area, and finally, they encountered several large zombie attacks.
Fortunately, the Battle Union had prepared for it. They had brought a lot of explosives and other weapons, and they had dispatched many elites. They had barely resisted the wave of attacks.
However, Ran Yunsha knew that the Battle Union couldn't afford such casualties.
Every soldier here was a force that would fight for her utopia in the future.
She had to leave as soon as possible.
However, the paranormals who had gone to look for her sister and the others hadn't returned yet.
She also didn't see Jiang Liushi's minibus.
Ran Yunsha couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The only thing that comforted her was that in the cultivation tank in front of her, there were seven extremely beautiful golden flowers.
The roots of the flowers were inserted into the dark soil, which was mixed with mutant beast meat, some iron, copper, and other metals.
The stamens of those flowers secreted a golden metal liquid.
That thing was the goal of her trip, Active Metal.
"… Last time, we got eleven, and there are four left … As long as we find all of them, the Battle Union will leave here …"
She couldn't help but worry. Why hadn't Shi Ying Squad returned yet?
'Bang!'
A crisp shattering sound rang out.
Following the sound, Ran Yunsha saw a tall figure smashing a lone zombie into pieces.
The zombie's body had become a pile of broken meat on the ground.
The Battle Union's soldiers were so scared that they almost peed their pants. Several district leaders were also shocked when they saw that scene.
How come the boss's abilities had changed? And they had become so terrifying!
Chang Shengkai, who was now Chang Jiashan, had killed a zombie rushing out of the building. Then, he carefully walked into the dark basement of the high-rise building.
After a while, he came out with a golden flower in his hand.
"I got it."
Chang Jiashan held the flower in his hand and whispered to Ran Yunsha.
Although Ran Yunsha had said that she wouldn't kill him, he was naturally afraid of this woman.
Suddenly, he screamed.
The tiny roots of the flower in his palm had actually broken through his skin tenaciously and started sucking crazily.
"Bear with it, this thing likes to suck blood and eat meat! Give it to me quickly, and don't use your ability! "Ran Yunsha said to Chang Jiashan.
Chang Jiashan didn't dare to act rashly. He could only endure the pain of being sucked and threw the golden flower in his hand into the cultivation tank in front of Ran Yunsha.
"Be careful in the future." Ran Yunsha pulled the small roots of the golden flower out of Chang Jiashan's hand and warned him.
"Yes," Chang Jiashan whispered.
His whole body was covered with a layer of fine sweat, and his spirit was bursting with exhaustion.
This time, Chang Jiashan became the main force of Ran Yunsha.
As long as they encountered a powerful mutant zombie or dug out the golden flower, Chang Jiashan would take action.
Chang Jiashan's powerful freezing ability also ensured that the risk was minimized.
However, Chang Jiashan was not like Chang Shengkai. He always did things carelessly. Every time he took out the golden flower, the roots of the flower would drill into his skin and suck it.
He had been sucked seven or eight times.
Suddenly, Chang Jiashan's body trembled, and the muscles on his face twitched for a while.
At this time, Ran Yunsha just picked up a map and carefully observed the location of the golden flower marked by the Battle Crazed Alliance. She didn't notice Chang Jiashan's movement.
"Now, go to Holly Street!"
After determining the location of the next plant, Ran Yunsha said lightly.
The engines of the Battle Crazed Alliance's heavy trucks roared, and they immediately went to Holly Street.
Roar-
When the convoy was just about to enter Holly Street, suddenly a shrill roar came from the depths of Holly Street.
Hearing this roar, everyone felt as if they had been punched in the chest, and they felt suffocated.
"… Level-2 … Level-2 mutant zombie?" A paranormal in the Battle Crazed Alliance could not help but turn pale.
The roar was so powerful that it could only be made by a very strong mutant zombie.
Even if it was a level-1 mutant zombie, although it was very strong, it was not enough to cause such a spiritual impact on them.
"A level-2 mutant zombie?" Ran Yunsha's face slightly sank.
She was very clear that there were more than one level-2 mutant zombies in the Forbidden Area.
Like some powerful animals, mutant zombies had a strong sense of territory. They would hunt each other to continue to evolve.
These level-2 mutant zombies were the key existence of the Battle Crazed Alliance.
After paying the price of blood, they roughly figured out the territory of these level-2 mutant zombies.
Therefore, their route of action did not involve the area where these level-2 mutant zombies were located at all.
However, the actions of zombies were uncertain, and accidents could happen at any time. Now that they heard the roar, it meant that the accident happened at this time. There was a level-2 mutant zombie on this street!
It could only be said that they were too unlucky!
After the roar ended, there was a loud bang.
A tall figure fell from the top of a high-rise building like a cannonball and hit the pile of old cars with a bang. He stared at the people of the Battle Crazed Alliance with no expression.
This figure was tall and mighty. His naked upper body was covered in wounds, and his eyes were filled with blood vessels that crawled like earthworms.
He was carrying a thick metal baseball bat in his hand.
He stood in place, exuding a pressure like that of a prairie lion. His eyes were cold and indifferent.
Beside him, there were seven or eight level-1 mutant zombies.
Immediately, zombies constantly jumped out from the tall buildings on both sides and gathered around this tall figure.
From several other streets, the basements of the high-rise buildings, and the shops, there were also densely packed zombies.
These zombies were actually divided into two directions, blocking the people of the Battle Crazed Alliance.
Roar!
The level-2 mutant zombie roared and suddenly lifted an old car with one hand.
