Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Plugging One’s Ears While Stealing a Bell
Every Fusang Tree here appears more robust than the one given to Captain Zhang.
Even the smallest one can produce medicine pills enough for survivors worldwide, and if these hundreds of Fusang Trees are planted in the sea, perhaps they can also purify the impurities within the seawater.
After Bai Xiqin emerged from the space, she and Leng Yebai got off the bus.
The sea faintly echoed with the roars of giant beasts, occasionally surfacing with black sprays.
The struggle wasn’t over yet.
The beach was littered with sticky black chunks of rotting flesh, filthy and grimy.
Bai Xiqin wore white shoes, with light frost forming around them.
Stepping onto the beach, she didn’t sink into the sand; the black decaying flesh instantly froze together with the beach.
Leng Yebai, also an Ice Ability User, had a slightly larger range of frost forming around him as he walked compared to Bai Xiqin.
Having just advanced to a Sixth Rank Superpower User, he was exuding a bit of Superpower, a level ordinary Superpower Users could hardly reach.
The corpse of the Zombie King Snake still lay there on the beach, its foul stench detectable from a distance.
The black waves of the sea gradually inched closer to the Zombie King Snake with each crash.
Bai Xiqin, with her keen eyesight, clearly saw that within the black waves were undead jellyfish, completely blackened and filled with decay.
They attempted to edge closer to the Zombie King Snake’s corpse with each wave’s impact.
Some undead jellyfish, eager to devour the Zombie King Snake’s corpse, couldn’t wait for the waves to deliver them, clambering straight out of the water instead.
Unlike zombie fish that used their spines to bounce on the beach, they could only slither like boneless creatures.
The decaying flesh and sand nearly blended together, and many of their tentacles broke from dehydration.
Even so, more and more undead jellyfish crawled out of the sea.
The allure of the Zombie King Snake’s body made them forget their physical limitations, desiring only to consume flesh and blood.
More impulsive than zombies in devouring flesh.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai observed the actions of the undead jellyfish but did not interrupt them.
There were too many undead jellyfish; they had more important things to do. If they didn’t plant the Fusang Trees in the sea soon, there would be even more undead sea creatures.
"Where should we plant them?"
Looking at the vast ocean, Bai Xiqin suddenly felt a bit lost.
The sea’s vast expanse meant that planting many Fusang Trees in a single location would only impact that specific area.
The rest of the sea would still be under the looming fear of undead creatures.
"The Giant Python and Water Python could help."
Leng Yebai thought of the few edible creatures in the space.
The Mutated Giant Python was rescued from the Fire Phoenix Safety Base. Its body was originally enormous, and after some time in the space, its head even started to grow a protruding bone.
It seemed to have a tendency to transform into the legendary Flood Dragon.
They had never unleashed the Mutated Giant Python in combat, but its fighting power was far superior to that of ordinary undead sea creatures.
After all, it consumed tremendous amounts of food daily.
The food it ate was enough to astound the inexperienced Captain Zhang.
Hearing Leng Yebai’s words, Bai Xiqin nodded; there was no other way.
"Let’s release them from there!"
Bai Xiqin wasn’t ready to pull out hundreds of Fusang Tree seedlings on this battlefield directly; many intelligent creatures still inhabited this area. The sea creatures were not something to be trifled with, and it would be troublesome if the old ones in the sea eyed them.
Unbeknownst to Bai Xiqin, Captain Zhang and Zhang Yiming had already secured this area, ensuring a good condition for Bai Xiqin.
The old dwellers of the seabed would be impossible to see.
After walking for some time on the beach, they finally stopped in a dense forest.
Originally, there weren’t any forests on the beach, but after the apocalypse, various plants grew wildly, and human activity had much less impact on nature.
Forests, vibrant with plants, were now commonplace. Even in the city center, vibrant greenery could emerge.
With cautious glances around to ensure there was no breathing presence, Bai Xiqin pulled out hundreds of vibrant Fusang Trees from the space.
As the Fusang Trees emerged, the surrounding forest’s trees began to "boil" with activity.
They swayed their branches, their leaves subtly tilting towards the Fusang Tree leaves.
Striving to absorb the vitality exuded by the Fusang Trees.
For plants, this potent vitality was more crucial than the energy of the Superpower.
Bai Xiqin watched the hundreds of Fusang Trees with satisfaction, her fair fingers making a slight motion, and then a giant green creature and a small white snake appeared on the ground.
It was the Mutated Giant Python and the Water Python.
"Water Python, can you take the Giant Python into the ocean and help plant these trees in oceans around the world?"
Bai Xiqin thought the task was a bit challenging, but she had no other choice.
The Water Python could command snakes; after all, just planting trees shouldn’t be too dangerous, right?
Moreover, Bai Xiqin trusted the Water Python’s speed, believing that if true danger arose, it could flee back safely.
... If it couldn’t return, she would make a big pot of chicken stew with mushrooms for it every year on this day.
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
The Water Python didn’t speak, but it gave Bai Xiqin an endearing nod, hissing like a regular snake.
It was completely like a normal little snake.
"Have you devolved?"
Bai Xiqin was puzzled.
"Hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss hiss..."
The Water Python hissed like sending Morse code, almost speaking out loud.
Its little white tail gestured something in the air, but Bai Xiqin couldn’t decipher what it meant after watching for a long time.
"Speak, or else I’ll hit you."
Bai Xiqin’s forehead vein throbbed, unable to bear it anymore.
"But didn’t the master say that I shouldn’t speak in the presence of others, or I’d get beaten up?"
The Water Python slithered onto Bai Xiqin’s shoulder, speaking weakly.
"Leng Yebai doesn’t count as a ’person.’"
Bai Xiqin rolled her eyes.
The Water Python had excellent comprehension, and since Leng Yebai had always followed into the space, the Water Python and the others were already familiar with him, even knowing he could speak.
So why was it acting so shy today?
Leng Yebai’s mouth twitched upon hearing Bai Xiqin’s reply, adding, "In the presence of outsiders, you can’t speak; in front of insiders, you can."
He wasn’t an outsider; he was an insider.
"Oh, then what about that guy up on the tree; is he an insider or outsider?"
The Water Python’s little white tail weakly pointed at the large tree closest to Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.
On the tree, Zhang Yiming sat on a branch, one hand resting against his face.
Trying to hide, but unable to.
Bai Xiqin: ...
Leng Yebai: ...
Zhang Yiming said nothing, not making a sound. Given Zhang Yiming’s strength and his zombie nature, unless he intended to appear, it was genuinely challenging to notice his presence.
He didn’t need to breathe, after all.
"If I say I saw nothing, would you believe me?"
Zhang Yiming covered his eyes with one hand, speaking in a low voice.
It was quite the cover-your-ears-to-steal-a-bell scenario.
Bai Xiqin: ...
Leng Yebai: ...
