From Apocalypse Boss to Farmer: My Vegetables Make Me Stronger!-Chapter 212 - 203: Species Isolation

Gu Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on He Yue.

The last time the convoy encountered the Pangolin mutant, only the base’s Guard Team suffered heavy losses. Even He Yue, their captain, had lost his dignity as a man.

The great families had always valued their pride. The people backing He Yue thought they had victory in the bag by being the first to control whatever was in that sinkhole, but they ended up suffering a huge loss instead. They would definitely have to settle that score.

’The only question is who they’ll blame for it.’

At this thought, Gu Xi’s gaze shifted imperceptibly from He Yue to Mr. Xu. The Abnormal Ability Research Institute had also suffered heavy losses in the recent ambush. Aside from Ye Nan of the Healing System, almost everyone was wounded, and several high-level ability users had died...

Looking between He Yue and Xu Hai... Gu Xi vaguely understood. The Qee Family had likely blamed the Research Institute for what happened last time.

And the heavy losses the Abnormal Ability Research Institute suffered this time were probably the Qee Family’s way of settling the score.

After figuring out the twists and turns of the situation, Gu Xi’s gaze fell on Ye Nan again.

This girl had deliberately made Ye Junhan act in front of everyone just now. She was probably trying to take the opportunity to show the Guard Team that the Special Service Team—or rather, Ye Junhan—was on the Research Institute’s side.

But she herself might not be on the same page as the rest of the Institute.

By taking the initiative to do this, she was likely also demonstrating her own value and... dispelling certain people’s suspicions.

She was also reminding them that there was something wrong with the tail.

’Clever girl.’

As for the box with the special culture fluid in her hands... Qi Xiang was probably right about it.

A mature, hybridized giant-tailed monster was massive, and Ye Junhan had already reported it. Even if the Research Institute wanted to retrieve it now, it would be extremely difficult.

Given the circumstances, it was better to find another way.

So their current target was the tip of the tail that Ye Nan had already placed in the special culture fluid.

With the regenerative abilities of a hybridized giant-tailed monster, they might actually be able to "plant" it like a cutting and successfully cultivate another one.

He Yue must have caught wind of something, which was why he had rushed over.

His deliberate attempt to stir up trouble in public wasn’t just to provoke the people from the Research Institute; it was more likely a way to test Ye Junhan’s attitude.

After all, with the rumors that had been circulating for years about Ye Junhan and Ye Nan... it was impossible for He Yue not to be wary.

And right now, the strongest combat force in their convoy was Ye Junhan and his Special Service Team.

Gu Xi glanced at Ye Junhan and fiddled with the small green sprout on her fingertip.

Among the group, Ye Junhan was the first to notice that something was wrong.

The unseen, dangerous presence that had been following the convoy—and then suddenly vanished after they made camp—had reappeared.

For some reason, Ye Junhan felt this might be related to Gu Xi.

He lifted his gaze to look at her.

Gu Xi’s expression was calm, but that very calmness made Ye Junhan raise his guard to the highest level.

Like Qi Xiang, Ye Junhan was also worried that Gu Xi would lose control of her emotions...

Ye Junhan tightened his grip on the scimitar in his hand.

By now, no one in the room was speaking anymore. Even He Yue and Xu Hai, who had just been engaged in a verbal sparring match, had closed their mouths, their expressions grave as they both looked up toward the distance.

The entire encampment suddenly fell deathly silent.

The oppressive feeling of a deadly threat was so heavy it was hard to breathe.

Just then, Zhao Qingxiao’s voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Captain, we’re surrounded."

Only then did everyone realize that the mutant plants surrounding the camp had suddenly gone wild, instantly forming a terrifying "green wall" that sealed off the entire camp airtight.

An unknown, terrifying danger watched them menacingly from not far away, while the suddenly appearing "green wall" blocked all their escape routes.

"Could it be a malignant transformation?" someone guessed.

But someone from the Research Institute slowly shook their head.

A malignant transformation in plants didn’t look like this.

At that moment, a few hot-tempered Fire Ability users had already made the first move.

It was natural for plants to fear fire.

But something was off. The moment the ability users’ flames covered the plants, they instantly vanished.

It was as if... the "green wall" could devour flames.

Everyone’s expression changed drastically.

One of the Fire Ability users walked over to Ye Junhan and said in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, something just devoured our abilities."

Ye Junhan’s expression didn’t change, but the hand resting on the scabbard at his waist paused for a fraction of a second.

Hearing this, He Yue seemed to think of something and made a gesture to his men.

The members of the base’s Guard Team all attacked, but strangely, no matter what kind of ability they used, it would be completely devoured as soon as it got close to the "green wall."

Seeing this, Xu Hai exchanged a glance with He Yue before walking over to Ye Junhan. "Mr. Ye..."

Just then, a figure flashed past everyone’s eyes like a phantom, crossing over the tall "green wall" in just a few leaps.

Ye Junhan frowned imperceptibly. ’What is she doing going out at a time like this?’

Outside the "green wall," the moment Gu Xi was out of sight, her speed suddenly increased.

She had clearly driven that little thief away before, but just now, she had merely responded in her mind to the team-up invitation it had sent earlier, and sure enough, the little thief had appeared.

Gu Xi had originally lured this thing out because she was unhappy and utterly tired of the scheming between the Guard Team and the Research Institute.

’If they have this much free time to cause trouble, their lives must be too comfortable.’

’In that case, I might as well let them have a real taste of the apocalypse’s cruelty.’

But unexpectedly, after the little thief saw that the "green wall" controlled by her Sproutling could also devour abilities, it suddenly became incredibly excited.

Gu Xi’s mind was suddenly filled with many vague sensations.

The other party was clearly trying to convey some kind of information to her.

But perhaps due to the species barrier, the sensation was too vague. Gu Xi had no choice but to go check it out herself.

Meanwhile, seeing that even a level-four ability user like Gu Xi could get over the wall and leave, the others started getting ideas.

The unknown entity in the distance was too terrifying. Once the fight began, Ye Junhan might not be able to protect them all.

No one wanted to be cannon fodder...

Dozens of ability users, as if by prior agreement, all copied Gu Xi and flew off in every direction, trying to escape.

But in the next moment, with a blur before their eyes, all the ability users who had tried to fly over the "green wall" were left dangling upside down in mid-air.

Knowing that their abilities were useless, some reacted quickly, drawing their cold weapons the moment they were bound...

However, the vines on the "green wall" were dense and numerous. For every one they cut, countless more took its place...

In the center of the camp, Xu Hai pushed up the cold frames of his glasses, while He Yue, his face dark, muttered a curse under his breath.

At this moment, all the spiritual power that tried to probe beyond the green wall was devoured completely.

Even the drones controlled by Yang Liu were knocked to the ground.

No one knew what was happening outside.

Shen Yue thought for a moment, then called the members of their Farming Team to one side and muttered a few words to them.

Ye Nan glanced in that direction, her face pale, and walked to Ye Junhan’s side. Worry was hidden in her features. "Jun Han, Miss Gu just went out like that. Do you think something will happen to her?"

Ye Junhan didn’t speak, silently staring in the direction beyond the green wall.

’She’s so powerful, of course she’ll be fine. But this green wall that appeared tonight will probably attract the attention of certain people very soon.’

Just then, an encrypted video call request suddenly popped up on Ye Junhan’s personal terminal.

Ye Nan glanced at it subconsciously. It was in privacy mode.

Ye Junhan walked to the side and answered the call. He was just about to report what was happening to Xiao Yu when Li Ming appeared before the Light Screen’s camera.

"Jun Han, take Gu Xi to City A as soon as possible. As for everything else, I’ll send people to handle it," Li Ming said, sitting in a wheelchair. His brow was furrowed, his eyes filled with a grim, murderous light.
