I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 873 - 963: Sudden Mutation—Everyone Prepare to Run for Your Lives!
"Yeah, isn’t that a must? So this plant is precious for this reason, saving a lot of the brewing processes and even more grain. You could say it’s almost like a semi-finished product. Imagine how valuable it is?"
The Old Taoist was also marveling at the wonders of nature, that something could be brewed directly within a plant. No wonder this whole area is a sea of rotten corpse insects’ decayed bodies; it turns out the sea inside could brew these things.
Jing Shu had been carefully picking these plant fruits that resembled human bodies.
Especially these eyeballs, with their big eyes open as if they were real, looking quite creepy.
Strangely, even as Jing Shu was about to finish picking these fruits, there was no other movement in the entire swamp, making one wonder if this was indeed a safe zone.
Jing Shu reported the general situation above, and when they learned that these bizarre plants in the island’s interior were actually concentrated beer fermenting agents, they were practically drooling.
"Damn, we’re all stuck in this swamp, unable to move, and their team just got lucky enough to find such a treasure."
"Yeah, comparing ourselves to others makes us furious."
"But those are ready-fermented beer agents, they’re extremely valuable at home. Ever since they stopped using grain to brewing liquor, pre-apocalypse wine prices have skyrocketed."
"If these plants could truly brew beer simply and be cultivated in large quantities, how would this be any different from a mint printing money?"
Speaking of which, even Old Zhou’s voice became a bit excited. The significance of beer fermenting plant agents was too great. Even if the price wasn’t high domestically, they could be sold abroad at a premium to exchange for more useful resources.
So, the strategic importance of this hops plant was extremely high.
Old Zhou’s voice came through the satellite phone: "Good, very good! Jing Shu’s team, try to transport as many of these plants as you can while ensuring your safety, then look for their Seeds to see if they can be taken back for cultivation. If I’m not mistaken, these should be Dark Plants."
Code Seven: "If you’re short on hands, we can dispatch more people from the main ship."
Jing Shu: "Captain Qi, no, we have enough people now. We’ve conservatively estimated that we’ve harvested dozens of tons of plants. This area has almost been picked clean."
Others: "..."
Is this even human language? How could they have harvested so much in such a short time? Isn’t your team just five people?
Only Old Zhou and Code Seven knew that Jing Shu had brought a large troop of insects.
At this moment, Yang Yang’s voice came over the satellite phone:
"Jing Shu, Jing Shu’s team, be cautious of mutations! Just two minutes ago, the passage we had cleared suddenly became much clearer. The decaying bodies in the sea path seem to be rapidly decreasing. This is supposed to be a dead sea, such a mutation shouldn’t occur."
"Commander Yang Yang, is there any connection between the changes over there and the island’s interior? Will this put the members of other elite teams’ bodyguards in even more danger?"
"Yes, yes, we’re still lying here waiting for rescue."
Just as everyone was saying this.
A mutation occurred suddenly!
The ground under Jing Shu’s side started to move, surprisingly bubbling up.
The entire Mud Sea began to bubble with terrifying intensity, just like boiling water.
Jing Shu immediately instructed Tank and others on alert to get on their ball vehicle, saying directly, "Not good! There’s a mutation, let’s evacuate quickly! Hao Yunlai, be careful. Lives are more important, if the goods are lost, so be it, let’s go!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The group began to retreat rapidly, and after receiving the order, Xiao Wei’s insects scurried off, speeding away from this area.
Everyone rushed into their ball vehicles, gasping for breath, as the army of insects pulled the ball tank across the swamp at high speed.
The Old Taoist even rolled over several times, and even the large Xiao Wei couldn’t keep its footing, rolling to the ground.
The Old Taoist, who had just been bragging, clung tightly to the handle, exclaiming, "What’s going on? What’s happening outside?"
Jing Shu held the handle firmly, focusing on the increasingly bubbling area outside: "It’s dangerous over there, something is devouring everything. We’re evacuating first."
"Something? What thing? I don’t see anything out there. It looks safe to me."
Just as he finished speaking, the center of the plant interior, where the army of insects had been, began to collapse.
Just like an earth fissure, it completely caved in.
Originally, a swamp sea was supporting that area, but now, as the center sunk, countless swamp silt flowed in.
Before long, the Old Taoist felt that what was once a flat road was now turning into an uphill struggle.
And behind them was an immense Sky Pit!
The entire island’s interior had collapsed!
If they had been even a bit slower, they would have been swallowed by the Sky Pit behind them!
The Old Taoist trembled with regret, "I shouldn’t have come with Jing Shu, look at the mess this girl has made, this could break the heavens! We’re doomed now."
The satellite phone kept transmitting voices, as other trapped elite team members also started encountering bubbling.
Jing Shu administered them a warning: "The island’s interior has collapsed, forming a giant Sky Pit, swallowing everything. We’re currently escaping!"
"What? The interior collapsed?"
"Oh my God, what do we do? We’re still stuck inside!"
"We’re doomed, Old Zhou, my will is under my bed pillow, please give it to my third uncle-grandpa, tell him I accidentally slept with his daughter, all my inheritance goes to her!"
The Old Taoist: "Can’t you just tell his daughter directly? Why go to your third-uncle-grandfather?"
"I’m afraid her husband will beat me up."
The Old Taoist: "..." What the hell!
Old Zhou: "Everyone prepare, first-level alert, the escape plan begins! All trapped personnel, report your positions. Looks like this old man has to make a trip!"
Old Zhou was ready to risk danger to save people!
Jing Shu immediately said, "Old Zhou, Yang Yang, you prepare to escape first. I’ll figure out the rescue, if nothing else, I might be able to cut off this swamp!"
"You can? Even Captain Code Seven can’t, and you can?"
