Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 723: Drool

Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin hadn’t brought anyone else with them on their mountain expedition, after all, the situation in the mountains was unclear and too dangerous. With the strength of just the two of them, they still had some confidence in venturing in, but if they brought others, they might become a burden.

The forest was extremely dense, probably because the life force of wild plants was more tenacious. Only a small portion of the plants died from the Zombie Virus, with many plants surviving strongly, among which were many that had successfully mutated and grown abnormally tall.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye’s trip to the mountains this time mainly aimed to find and collect various mutant plants. When the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, Fang Yuxin had Angela revert to her original form and then rode on it, leaping into the dense and mysterious forest reminiscent of primeval woods.

Bai Ye rode on Bai Er, following closely beside Fang Yuxin. Once they entered the forest, he held the Dragon Scale Sword in his hand, cautiously alert to the surroundings, fearing any sudden danger.

The two swiftly weaved through the forest and indeed, Fang Yuxin discovered many mutant plants. These mutant plants all grew vigorously and were clearly different from the other plants around them. Moreover, many mutant plants did not possess attack power.

Fang Yuxin couldn’t tell which aspect the mutant plants had changed in, so she marked out a space in the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, in an appropriate area, and transplanted some mutant plants for future observation.

Whenever she collected plants, Bai Ye guarded her. Suddenly, Fang Yuxin discovered a huge mutant plant. It had enormous leaves on a single stem, with an umbrella-like cluster of red fruits at the top. The fruits were bright red and luscious, as big as longans, packed closely together, forming a "large umbrella."

Fang Yuxin squinted her eyes—this thing looked very familiar!

Then she turned her head to look at Bai Ye and exchanged a glance with him. Bai Ye nodded, "It should be a Mutated Wild Ginseng, looking at the leaves, it’s definitely not small!"

Fang Yuxin also thought it must be the case. She stared straight at the Mutated Wild Ginseng for a while and then planned to approach. Bai Ye quickly grabbed her and frowned disapprovingly, "Be careful! Why are you so reckless? Watch out for dangers around!"

Fang Yuxin thought he was right; such a huge Mutated Wild Ginseng most likely had something guarding nearby. She must be careful! Otherwise, a careless move could mean disaster!

Thus, she released her Spiritual Sense to survey the surroundings and also to check just how large the Mutated Wild Ginseng was. Upon checking, she couldn’t help but gasp—it was just too big!

Ordinary ginseng was quite small, maybe not even as thick as a finger, but this Mutated Wild Ginseng had grown very large, almost the size of a person. Moreover, it had already developed a rather complete human-like form.

Fang Yuxin was somewhat astonished. Could this Mutated Wild Ginseng have already awakened its spiritual wisdom?

She was first surprised, then delighted. Qian Sen had mentioned to her previously that he wanted to research those mutated medicinal plants to see if they were more effective. It was a pity, however, that he was just an Ordinary Person, not to mention his inability to access mutated medicinal plants, even if he did manage to find them, he might not live to harvest them.

Ever since hearing this, Fang Yuxin had kept it in mind, so before entering the mountains this time, she made a special effort to do some homework and found a book detailing various herbs. The book was color-printed, with clear photos of each herb, and Fang Yuxin memorized all of it in her head, paying close attention ever since she entered the mountain.

After the apocalypse, although the majority of humanity did not manage to Awaken as superpower users, their bodies were still affected by the Zombie Virus, resulting in most medicines losing their effectiveness. Those medicines were completely ineffective for superpower users, and while they still had some effect on Ordinary People, it was weak unless one took a large dosage to see results.

After discovering this, Qian Sen had always wanted to research mutant plants and develop new medicines with medical experts. Unfortunately, he never had the chance. Initially, he stayed in a small base, but regrettably, the leader of the small base was narrow-minded and shortsighted, and there were no research institutes within the base either.

Later, he finally made it to the Beishi Base, originally hoping to showcase his talents, only to find that the Beishi Base was controlled by the Six Major Forces. The competition among these forces was quite fierce. Moreover, whether it was the Bai Family, the Qu Family, or Zhao Qiankun, they all held malice towards them, even plotting to kill them!
