Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Mutated Flytrap

Rustle, rustle~

A barely detectable rustling sound came from up ahead.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai exchanged a glance and silently sat at the very front, their faces still pretending to be nonchalant.

The six strong individuals that Zhong Beihai brought along also started to move, with a middle-aged man standing right behind Zhong Beihai, very close to him.

Providing close protection.

The other five stood scattered around, their expressions indifferent, exuding a chill from their bodies.

"Can they really develop an antidote that turns zombies back into humans?"

Bai Yifan immediately thought of Zhang Yiming and Fan Tangtang.

If only they could become human, enjoy delicious food, and not worry about being bombed by human survivors.

"Of course they can!"

Zhong Beihai replied, his voice filled with certainty.

However, when Bai Yifan looked into Zhong Beihai’s eyes, he noticed a tinge of sadness in them.

What is a zombie?

Zombies are the products of human death.

They fear neither firearms nor weapons, have no senses, and aside from moving energetically, they are essentially corpses.

In other words, such a body cannot survive in a human form.

Many ordinary zombies bear various injuries; some even have large, gaping holes in their stomachs.

Even if there were an antidote that could eradicate the zombie virus, what would become of the zombies?

The most likely outcome is that zombies would turn into corpses, not humans.

Zhong Beihai had been studying the zombie virus for some time. If he found suitable materials to combat it, he was confident in producing an antibody for the virus.

This would make humans immune to zombie virus infection.

But creating an antidote to revert zombies back into humans was truly difficult.

He never gave up, but his age and physical condition might not hold out.

Whoosh—

As Bai Yifan and Zhong Beihai talked, suddenly a dark shadow darted in their direction from the air.

Bringing with it a strong, foul stench.

"It’s a mutated plant, be careful!"

Leng Yebai pushed Bai Yifan toward Zhong Beihai, and the purple lightning at his fingertips shot toward the airborne shadow.

The shadow frantically twisted upon touching the purple lightning.

Only then did everyone realize it was a flytrap.

The flycatcher leaves, usually only the size of a fingernail, had grown to the size of a person.

The open-and-close flycatcher leaves, surrounded by sharp "fangs," had become a lethal cage capable of turning people into sieves.

Its roots swung wildly, obscuring the plant’s core.

It’s hard to imagine the vast size this small flytrap had mutated into.

On the flytrap leaves, besides the black charcoal-like substance formed by Leng Yebai’s lightning, there was also black liquid dripping.

This flytrap had once digested zombies or zombie animals.

After one flycatcher leaf was attacked, massive shadows surged toward the Bai Family members.

Every flycatcher leaf was as large as an adult’s body, opening and closing like a cannibal flower, rushing toward flesh and blood.

"Everyone be careful!"

From the front, a powerful figure emitted a faint, earthy yellow glow, his voice exceptionally calm.

The ground vibrated slightly, and a sturdy earth wall rose, standing in front of the shadows.

"Bang bang bang!"

One flycatcher leaf after another slammed into the earth wall, with black mucus dripping onto it, making a sizzling sound.

The black mucus was highly corrosive, even eroding the earth summoned by an Earth Ability User.

The earthy yellow glow on the middle-aged man’s body grew more intense, continuously supplying energy to the wall as the black mucus eroding holes was quickly repaired.

The flycatcher leaves fluttered madly, seemingly equipped with eyes. Knowing they couldn’t break through the earth wall, they began searching for other routes.

Spraying black mucus everywhere.

A drop of black mucus landed on a nearby tree, severing it at its waist.

The broken part corroded into black charcoal.

More terrifying than concentrated sulfuric acid.

Not just insects; even a human body could be rapidly digested by the flycatcher leaves, turning into nutrients for the flytrap.

Seeing the flycatcher leaves about to come over from elsewhere, another powerful figure sprang into action.

A green glow emanated from him.

He was a Wood Ability User.

He walked directly toward the fluttering flycatcher leaves, with the green light in his hands becoming even more intense.

He didn’t summon his mutated plants but tried to control the flycatcher leaves with his ability.

This was a difficult task.

The strongest explosive power of a Wood Ability User during combat depends on their "Beast Pet," which is the mutated plant the user has tamed.

This mutated plant must already belong to the Ability User to unleash its greatest power without backlash.

The middle-aged man directly choosing to control the flycatcher leaves required tenacity and immense power.

For now, Bai Xiqin would not choose to clash head-on with the mutated plant.

"Chirp chirp—"

The mutated flytrap’s flycatcher leaves emitted a chirping sound the instant they touched the green light.

Plants can produce sounds.

The frequency of these sounds is often inaudible to human ears, just like human brains cannot detect the brainwaves of zombies.

The sound the Bai Family heard wasn’t actually from the flytrap but the reaction between the plant body and the green light.

This sound was mixed with a frenzied rage, not a scream, but it clearly showed it was in great pain.

With a thud.

The flycatcher leaves dropped directly to the ground.

The severed parts of the enormous leaves had some black mucus sticking to them.

The flytrap couldn’t bear being controlled by the Wood Ability User and decided to abandon several of its own leaves.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The shadows in the sky multiplied.

Clearly, the flytrap hadn’t retreated but grown angrier.

"Oh no! Did we run into a flytrap swarm?"

The sight of the densely packed flycatcher leaves frightened Bai Yifan into activating his Golden Light Protection, making him glow brightly, tightly gripping his bronze dagger.

"Look out for the mucus, as long as you avoid it, you’ll be fine."

Leng Yebai murmured, standing before the Bai Family, his purple lightning surging, creating a small energy storm around.

"Fall back, using abilities is too slow."

A middle-aged man, holding a long dagger, emerged, glancing at Leng Yebai with surprise in his eyes.

This man’s ability was special; although a Thunder Ability, it carried a demonic air.

Very dangerous.

Even as a human, his lightning gave the same sense of danger as a zombie.

"Son, come and take a rest."

The Base Commander beckoned to Leng Yebai, exuding a lazy demeanor, clearly not intending to act directly.

The six elite fighters beside Old Sir Zhong weren’t to be trifled with.

Leng Yebai didn’t make a move, but the Thunder Ability around him didn’t dissipate either, standing resolutely at the forefront of the Bai Family, eyes fixed on the direction from which the flycatcher leaves extended.

This wasn’t merely a simple flytrap group hunting exercise.
