Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 716: Furry Mutated Moss
Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Furry Mutated Moss
"Eaten, eaten?"
Qiao asked nervously.
"Xiao Jin, can the Mutated Moss completely absorb even the moving Zombie Cockroaches?"
Su Xiangzhe asked.
"Yes, you guys look"
Su Jin controlled the Mutated Moss to clear an open space, where just moments before a Zombie Cockroach had crawled by. Now, all that was left was an empty slate stone, without even a shadow of the Zombie Cockroach to be seen!
"Yes, success!"
Noting this, Lin Xiuyuan knew that Su Jin had practically clinched the victory.
"My God, what did I just see? Plants eating Zombie Cockroaches?"
Jerome said incredulously, how could this be possible?
"Miss Su, do we need to keep driving the car forward?"
Qiao had recovered from his shock and delight. It seemed Su Jin indeed had a solution; however, if controlling plants to eat Zombie Cockroaches required constant manipulation, then someone would need to be by its side at all times, right?
"Yes."
Su Jin thought that waiting here would also be fine, but seeing everyone’s curious gazes, and not knowing the actual size of Tawa City, she nodded in agreement.
"Oh dear Miss Su, is it really alright when we drive over your adorable Mutated Plants?"
David’s words became somewhat odd, please forgive him for he was just too happy now; one second he thought they were goners, the next he realized that the enemy had been utterly thrashed by their own ally. The feeling was too wonderful.
"Ahem, no problem, just drive forward slowly,"
Su Jin replied somewhat embarrassedly.
The eyes of everyone in the car didn’t stray from the Mutated Moss. Does this mean that any place with Mutated Moss is an absolutely safe area?
"This Mutated Moss is controlled by my Wood Element Ability. If you encounter wild Mutated Moss outside, don’t hesitate, either run away or burn it, but don’t touch it and don’t underestimate it,"
Su Jin advised.
"Miss Su, if we bring a Wood Element Ability User, can he or she control this amazing plant too?"
Qiao was extremely interested in the Mutated Moss; it was practically the natural enemy of the Zombie Cockroaches. If country Y could find Wood Element Ability Users who could control Mutated Moss, then their Zombie Cockroach problem would be solved.
"If you can find a Wood Element Ability User who can control Mutated Plants, then yes, it should be possible. However, everyone’s special ability power has its own characteristics, and I do hope you can find one,"
Su Jin didn’t have the heart to outright reject his idea; though she hadn’t seen any Wood Element Ability User able to control Mutated Plants in her two lifetimes, the world was vast, so who knows if Y country might find one?
"Qiao, I don’t think it’s very likely; the Wood Element Ability Users we know currently can only make seeds sprout,"
Avril said shaking her head in regret.
"Look, look over there!"
Reese pointed excitedly at a gigantic Zombie Cockroach and shouted. The Zombie Cockroach was as big as a grown wolf-dog, and its head was now being consumed by the Mutated Moss, with a few broken legs still struggling desperately.
"We can stop here for a little while,"
Su Jin explained to everyone.
Because the Mutated Moss didn’t just cover the surface, it reached every house, every corner of these few streets. Now, a store that looked like a shop was completely enveloped in a layer of Mutated Moss on the outside, and every corner inside, even every piece of furniture, would be covered by the Mutated Moss.
"I finally understand why you just told us to wait here,"
Abby shook her head in disbelief and spoke.
"All they had to do was to wait inside the vehicle, while all the zombie cockroaches in Tawa City were left to be dealt with by Su Jin’s mutated moss!
"Thank you for trusting me just now,"
Su Jin said with a sense of humor, although she felt that the gentlemen were almost at their limits just now.
Yves and Paul suddenly felt somewhat ashamed; they had indeed misunderstood earlier...
However, Qiao expressed concern, "Miss Su, I feel that this is a very energy-consuming task. Can your wood element ability continuously control this miraculous mutated moss?"
If Su Jin’s special ability ran out of power, then they would have no choice but to deal with the rest with fire.
"Is Tawa City very big?"
Su Jin asked.
"Well, not very big, it’s about twice the size of Bamboo Village,"
Qiao answered.
He didn’t tell the Heart Talk Team that, after learning that the zombie cockroaches in Bamboo Village had been dealt with, they had specifically gone to the village to scout, so he knew the size of Bamboo Village.
"Then there’s no problem,"
Su Jin confidently replied.
Everyone was taken aback by Su Jin’s response, questioning whether Su Jin’s wood element ability was too powerful or if Tawa City in their Y Country was just too small?
David didn’t dare to continue driving the vehicle forward, now believing that it was safest to keep the car on the mutated moss. He suspected that the zombie cockroaches in the Dead City might all be mobilized, the slopes ahead were already covered with a dense mass of them!
"Oh beautiful Miss Su, may I capture this thrilling moment?"
Morris pointed at the zombie cockroaches outside that were being devoured upon encountering the mutated moss and asked.
Su Jin didn’t know if people from Y Country always spoke with that intonation when excited, but she nodded in agreement anyway. It didn’t matter if it was filmed, she also hoped Y Country would find a way to deal with the zombie cockroaches.
Seeing that Su Jin approved, Morris immediately took out a phone with battery remaining from his space and started recording the video outside the vehicle.
"Well done, Morris, let’s also show them back home so no one dares to say we came out here on a suicide mission,"
Reese said as well.
The atmosphere in the bus suddenly became relaxed and friendly, and the six-person special ability user team started chatting with the Heart Talk Team. Of course, Su Jin and Qiao were doing the translating.
After witnessing the prowess of the mutated moss outside, they realized there was no more danger left for them to handle inside the Dead City. As Su Jin put it, all they needed to do was wait.
"Why aren’t there any zombies inside here?"
Nie Qing asked curiously.
"I guess it might be because of the territorial instincts of the zombie cockroaches? There are no zombies in Bamboo Village either,"
Lu Hao analyzed.
When they arrived here, there were only a few scattered zombies outside the city, very different from the hordes encountered earlier on the road.
"It’s possible, as far as we know, there are no zombies around the nests of zombie cockroaches,"
Qiao nodded and said.
"Cockroaches have been on Earth for over 250 million years, understanding them is probably harder than understanding zombies. When we encounter them, we mainly focus on extermination,"
Su Jin remembered Dr. Pei from the S City base had also mentioned cockroaches, understanding their mystery to completely eradicate them was virtually an impossible task.
