"Isn’t the grass over there greener?"
Bai Yifan suddenly pointed in a direction far away.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai followed Bai Yifan’s finger, looking in the direction he pointed.
In the distance, there was a lush forest, and the very center of the forest was indeed greener than other places.
"Could it be mutated plants?"
Bai Xiqin’s eyes lit up.
Mutated plants can be kept in space, and even if they’re not used personally, they can be very important "currency" in the apocalypse.
"Wouldn’t that an we’re hitting the jackpot?"
Bai Yifan’s eyes shone even brighter than Bai Xiqin’s.
He’s poor!
The second poorest in the family (the poorest is Leng Yebai)!
If he could get so treasures, wouldn’t he be rich?
Thinking of this, Bai Yifan rubbed his fingers together slyly, "Sis, could we discuss sothing?"
"Talk."
Bai Xiqin looked at Bai Yifan from the corner of her eye.
When it cos to discussing things, it all depends on her opinion. If she agrees, then Bai Yifan is right.
If she disagrees, Bai Yifan might as well not have said anything.
"Can I try to ta the mutated plants later?"
Bai Yifan tugged Bai Xiqin’s sleeve with two fingers, widening his eyes to look cute.
He also wanted to earn so extra inco!
The crystal cores at ho were all harvested by Mom and Grandma, and the zombies were all killed by Sis, Brother Leng, Mr. Bai, and Grandpa.
He had absolutely no source of inco.
Fight the zombies? He can’t kill them and might get bitten.
Gut the crystal cores? Too scared, he only dared to hold the bag.
In short, he’s very poor.
Bai Xiqin frowned, silently brushed Bai Yifan’s fingers away, and then rubbed the goosebumps on her arm.
"Alright." Bai Xiqin said quietly, "But no acting cute in the future."
He’s too old for that; doing it might get him beaten up.
"Got it!"
Bai Yifan instantly bead with joy.
He could dig up the mutated plants, plant them, and then sell them.
Make a fortune in crystal cores!
Leng Yebai quietly glanced in the green direction, his eyebrows barely twitching.
The aura of superpower from over there is quite astonishing!
Bai Xiqin winked at Leng Yebai, signaling him not to say anything.
No matter what, Bai Yifan is a man, always hiding behind the adults whining like a girl.
Bai Xiqin thought it was ti to toughen him up.
Otherwise, she always felt like she had a little sister!
In order to show his determination to earn so extra cash, Bai Yifan purposely walked at the front.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai followed behind him leisurely.
Although Bai Yifan’s legs were a bit shaky, he didn’t slow down.
God bless, hopefully, the mutated plants ahead will love taking an owner, just like Grandpa’s mutated climbing vine!
After walking for about half an hour, the scent of plants in the air grew stronger.
The freshness of the leaves mixed with the aroma of the soil was so overwhelming that instead of feeling comfortable, it felt stifling, hard to breathe.
The three stopped in front of a large tree, a tree greener and more lush than the others.
Heavy branches bowed under the weight of verdant leaves; it was a peach tree, its leaves a rich green.
March and April are peach tree flowering months, but this peach tree only had lush green leaves, none of the flowers blood.
"Is this large tree a mutated plant?"
Bai Yifan looked at the big tree in front of him, sowhat unsure.
His superpower wasn’t as potent as Sis’s, he could only vaguely sense unusual energy nearby.
"Yes."
Bai Xiqin gave a faint glance at the thick leaves of the peach tree.
Bai Yifan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It seed this mutated plant wasn’t dangerous, he just needed to dig a hole and uproot the peach tree.
He could earn quite a few crystal cores!
Bai Yifan rolled up his sleeves, didn’t even ask Bai Xiqin for a shovel, and squatted in front of the peach tree with a dagger.
The dagger stabbed into the peach tree, imdiately piercing the tree’s roots.
"Ah! Who dares to harm !"
Suddenly, an angry voice ca from the peach tree.
Bai Yifan got a huge fright, shrank his neck back; he didn’t dare to look up, his voice trembling, "Sis, this mutated plant can talk now, does that make it worth more crystal cores?"
Bai Yifan was desperate for money.
Even in this situation, he should have jumped up and hid behind Sis.
But he held back.
Having this chance to make a windfall, let him be bold just this once!
There usually aren’t such good opportunities, since the Bai Family usually takes down zombies.
Zombies and the talking peach tree; Bai Yifan decisively felt the peach tree seed friendlier.
Bai Yifan gritted his teeth, not lifting his head, and stabbed the dagger into the peach tree again.
"Geez! Who is it! Keeps trying to harm , the emperor!"
A boisterous voice ca from the peach tree.
Above sounded a slight rustling, the dense peach tree leaves swinging wildly.
Clatter ―
Bai Yifan couldn’t help it, dropped the dagger, decisively enveloped himself in a golden glow, and then hid behind Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.
Even though shaking all over, the mont he hid behind them, his hands and legs stopped trembling, his heart no longer pounding intensely.
Don’t ask why; seeing Sis and Brother Leng’s back was exceptionally assuring.
Nurous peach tree leaves fell to the ground, the peach tree shook violently as if caught in a level-eight gale.
"Speak, who sent you, the minion from below, to assassinate , the emperor!"
A boisterous voice ca again from the top of the peach tree.
"The Jade Emperor sent !"
Bai Yifan poked his head out from behind Bai Xiqin, glared at the peach tree fiercely.
Damn Tree Demon, daring to scare this baby, just wait! His sister is skilled, she’ll surely beat you!
"Heh! Just the Jade Emperor, not a match for the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!" The voice from above the peach tree echoed again.
The voice spoke nonsensical words, seeming a bit deranged.
As soon as the voice fell, the peach tree trembled again, slender leaves falling off and quickly shooting towards Bai Xiqin and the others.
The peach tree leaves seed to slice through the air, Bai Yifan could hear the sound of the air being pierced.
Bai Xiqin flicked her fingers, an invisible control power instantly acted on the peach tree leaves, stopping them in place.
"Li Jing, didn’t expect you to be so skillful, prepare to face !"
The boisterous voice just ended, and even more leaves fell from the peach tree, the leaves’ speed toward the three grew even faster.
Bai Xiqin narrowed her eyes, she could feel an unusual superpower covering the peach tree leaves.
The superpowers used by human superpower users and those by zombies are sowhat different.
High Rank Zombies’ superpower energy is violent, making people uncomfortable.
But Bai Xiqin had seen Zhang Yiming use his superpowers, the energy felt no different from normal superpower user energy.
Usually, when High Rank Zombies use superpowers, their brains hold almost no consciousness, just savage nature.
Yet the energy covering the peach tree leaves felt a bit wilder than zombie energy, and a bit more frenzied than human-used energy.
Bai Xiqin once again reached out, harnessed all her control power, blocking the fiercely charging peach tree leaves.
But the impact of the peach tree leaves was too strong, it didn’t stagnate, instead rushed toward them even faster.
