Chapter 746: Yin Yusheng’s Lazy Ancestor ( 2 )
The members watched as the moss turned into a huge green blanket. As it covered every inch of the area, they saw the mutant ants struggling beneath it. Their struggle only lasted for a few seconds before everything turned tranquil.
The mutant moss looked like a deep sea, calm but deadly.
When the members came to this conclusion, they stared at Yin Yusheng’s back.
Under normal circumstances, he only used his blade or an air gun to kill zombies. They had never seen him use his ability to fight and thought his wood-type ability was an auxiliary one focused on promoting plant growth and healing.
They never expected him to hide his strength and keep such a trump card!
Just imagining him refusing to use his mutant moss to devour all the zombie cockroaches in Lunar City made the members want to beat him. If he had used it back then, they wouldn’t have had to fight for so long and end up smelling like trash.
While the members were complaining, Yin Yusheng was busy coaxing his mutant moss. If Kuikui was a delicate, obedient, and caring little flower, then Xianxian was a naughty, lazy, but domineering ancestor.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use his mutant moss, but it mostly refused to come out. Not to mention working, it didn’t even bother to move. It usually latched onto his core and slept all day long.
Fortunately, these mutant ants had cores, and he could use that to coax Xianxian. Otherwise, they would have had to work overtime again.
Perhaps the mutant ants’ cores were beneficial to it, as the mutant moss suddenly became excited. It sped up and grew taller. It didn’t even leave any openings. As it slipped into the holes, it continued spreading underground.
It even covered the buildings and cars in the area. However, unlike small stones and dust, it didn’t devour the buildings or cars. It only devoured the mutant ants hiding in the cracks and holes.
Watching the mutant moss clean up the ants, Jiao Lizhi said, "This mutant moss is very convenient. It’s even better at cleaning the floor than a vacuum cleaner. Look at how clean the road is!"
When Yin Yusheng heard her words, he almost cried. "Sister-in-law, please spare me. My Xianxian is not easy to control. It’s only because there are so many mutant cores for it to eat that it agreed to come out."
"Oh? So your mutant plants have consciousness?" Mo Junjie suddenly asked with interest.
The moment Yin Yusheng met his gaze, a chill ran down his spine. "Brother, they’re part of my abilities. How could they possibly have consciousness? You have misunderstood me," he said sheepishly.
Mo Junjie stared at him and the mutant moss with a meaningful gaze, but he stopped asking.
While the members were chatting casually, the survivors who were hanging on for their lives stared at them in disbelief.
Some of them had climbed power poles and were already almost at their limits. Although they didn’t know who the Phantom Team was, they feared the mutant ants more.
After a while, one of them finally shouted, "Comrades, can you please save us? We almost can’t hold on anymore!"
Hearing this, the Phantom Team finally remembered the group of people. Most of them had run to building rooftops, while the rest had climbed power poles, signboards, or road signs. They indeed looked pitiful, hanging there like monkeys.
"Bring them down," Jin Xuyan said.
Receiving the order, Feng Yun waved his hand and removed the spatial barrier. With Yin Yusheng’s mutant moss, they didn’t have to worry about being attacked by mutant ants anymore.
The members went to bring the survivors down and let them rest at the back of the team. The survivors had been escaping from the mutant ants for days and were exhausted. The moment they touched the ground, they collapsed instantly.
Seeing this, Gao Bohai and Jiao Lizhi walked over to check their conditions. Besides malnutrition, they were simply exhausted. It was a miracle they had survived for so long.
Since Gao Bohai couldn’t use his energy to heal them, he could only ask Xiao Qi for some medicine, water, and food. As for Jiao Lizhi, she directly used her energy to heal their injuries and improve their physical condition.
For ordinary people, their bodies couldn’t store energy. Even if she transferred her energy into them, it would dissipate over time. So she only circulated her energy through their bodies twice before letting them rest.
For the ability-users, she didn’t transfer energy since they had crystal cores. She only gave them diluted pond water and some food.
It took Yin Yusheng five hours to completely wipe out the mutant ants. When Qin Luzi saw the clear map, he said in amazement, "Captain, all the mutant ants have been annihilated. There are still people hiding in the buildings."
Jin Xuyan nodded and channeled his energy into his throat. "Everyone, we are a mercenary team from the Lin’an City Base, and we are on our way back to the base. We will leave in half an hour. Those who want to come with us, gather as soon as possible."
Even without shouting or using a megaphone, his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. The members looked at their Captain with wide eyes. They never thought an ability could be used this way.
Most of the survivors hiding were people escaping from areas contaminated by the nuclear power plant. They were hoping to find a place to stay.
But along the way, they had met many people who tried to scam, rob, or even kill them. Those who claimed to be from bases were nothing more than bandits, trying to bring them back to their dens as livestock.
After experiencing so much, they couldn’t trust this group easily. But they had seen how strong the Phantom Team was. Even if they refused to go with them, if the team insisted on taking them, they had no way to escape.
