Just like how humans evolved their superpowers in the apocalypse, animals and plants also mutated. Especially the plants that didn't show themselves in the past, they quietly became more ferocious than the most ferocious zombies.
Moreover, because of the impression that plants gave people, at the very beginning, no one would guard against those plants at all, so they suffered a lot of losses. The biggest loss was when only two people escaped from a team of more than fifty people.
Since then, superpowered people would rather take a detour when carrying out missions, or even go to places with zombies, than go to places with lush plants.
Therefore, even if there might be more food in remote mountainous areas, for safety, most superpowered people would rather go to those big cities with zombies than those mountainous areas.
After all, you know what you will face in the city, but you don't know what you will encounter in the mountainous areas.
At this moment, after hearing Jiujiu's words, Xu Zhe and Hei Bao exchanged glances and inexplicably felt that this method was feasible.
However, those mutant plants were too strong, and getting their seeds was a big problem.
Xu Zhe and Hei Bao frowned and asked Jiujiu, "What kind of mutant plant seeds do you need?"
Jiujiu blinked and thought for a moment, "How about this, you take me there tomorrow, and I will take the seeds of any plant I find suitable. What do you think?"
Xu Zhe and Hei Bao wanted to object, but they didn't know anything about plants, so letting Jiujiu take a look was the best choice. Xu Zhe and Hei Bao could only nod and agree with Jiujiu's suggestion.
After all, only by seeing the power of those mutant plants with her own eyes, Jiujiu could find the most suitable species.
The next day, Xu Zhe, Hei Bao, and Jiujiu told Director Wang their idea, and under Director Wang's grateful expression, they drove out of the safe zone.
To find the seeds, they naturally had to go to the mountainous areas.
Fortunately, Xu Zhe and Black Panther had cleared the roads near the safe zone during this period of time. So, in less than a day, the three of them arrived at the mountainous area without any mishaps.
There were many trees in the mountainous areas, especially when there were no buildings, so those trees grew even more luxuriantly. As soon as they entered the mountain village, they couldn't see the sun outside anymore.
Logically speaking, no one would come to a remote mountainous area, no matter if it was a safe zone or a base, so there should be a lot of zombies here. However, the strange thing was that the village had been dead silent ever since they appeared.
Because this place was too quiet, Xu Zhe and Hei Bao were even more nervous than usual. Their nerves were stretched taut, and they were ready to fight at any time.
Both Black Panther and Xu Zhe were ready for a big fight, but what happened next left both of them dumbfounded.
Jiujiu walked to a withered sapling, reached out to touch the trunk, and said in a gentle voice, "Do you want to go home with me?"
If Jiujiu was talking to the big tree in the middle of the village that covered almost half of the village, Xu Zhe and the black panther would not be so confused. However, Jiujiu was talking to the sapling that looked like it was about to die. It seemed a little strange.
Hei Bao and Xu Zhe walked behind Jiujiu, and asked in confusion, "Little Shuang, are you okay?"
Hearing Hei Bao's question, Jiujiu shook her head slightly, "I'm fine."
After answering Hei Bao, Jiujiu continued to touch the trunk of the sapling, and said in a low voice, "You see, you're lonely here. Come with me, and I'll talk to you every day, and it'll be lively every day. What do you think?"
Hei Bao turned his head to look at Xu Zhe, and asked him with his eyes, "What's wrong with Jiujiu?"
Xu Zhe shook his head, indicating that he was also a monk who couldn't make sense of it.
Xu Zhe and Hei Bao looked confused, but Jiujiu's face was gentle.
Jiujiu's fingers continued to touch the trunk of the sapling, and she said in a gentle voice, "Since you don't want to go, I won't force you."
Jiujiu's fingers touched the trunk reluctantly, and then she turned around, looked at Hei Bao and Xu Zhe, and said, "Since he doesn't want to go with us, let's find someone else."
After Jiujiu said that, she grabbed Xu Zhe and Hei Bao's arms and dragged them out.
However, before they walked out of the small village, they suddenly heard a childish voice behind them.
Jiujiu and the other two turned around and saw that the wilted sapling from before had completely struggled out of the ground and was now chasing after them with a hop.
Although it had left the ground, the withered leaves of the sapling had become glossy, and the way it jumped was like a puppy, indescribably cute.
Jiujiu, who already knew the true identity of the sapling, was still fine, but Xu Zhe and Hei Bao, who saw such a fantasy scene for the first time, were a little dumbfounded, especially Hei Bao, who almost subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and asked Xu Zhe in disbelief, "Xu Zhe, am I dreaming? Why am I seeing the sapling running?"
The corner of Xu Zhe's mouth twitched, and he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, because he also saw that the sapling could run, and it was running towards them.
The sapling became smaller and smaller as it ran, and by the time it reached Jiujiu, it had become a small branch that was only as tall as Jiujiu's calf. If it weren't for the shiny green leaf on its head, Xu Zhe and Hei Bao would almost suspect that the withered sapling that looked like it was about to die was their illusion.
Jiujiu bent down and placed the sapling in her hand, lowered her head and kissed the green leaf of the sapling, and asked in a low voice, "Can you help me find some mutated plant seeds?"
Feeling Jiujiu's lips gently kissing its leaf, the sapling's trunk blushed a little, and the green leaves swayed, and then they heard a childish voice, "Okay."
The sapling jumped down from Jiujiu's hand and ran away again. Looking at the back of the sapling, Hei Bao couldn't help but ask Jiujiu, "Xiao Shuang, what's the situation with that sapling?"
Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled, explaining, "There's a number one esper, and there's a zombie king among zombies. Naturally, there's also the most powerful mutated plants."
Even though Hei Bao had seen that the sapling could run and talk, when he thought of the sapling, his mind automatically filled in the image of the sapling's withered appearance. The corner of Hei Bao's mouth twitched, "He's the most powerful among the mutated plants?"
Jiujiu chuckled, "Yes, why, you don't believe it?"
Hei Bao smiled awkwardly, scratching the back of his head and saying, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that his appearance is a little … a little different."
