Volume 3 Chapter 35 Big Harvests

From the beginning, she noticed that something was wrong. It was only because the illusion was too real that she fell into a trance for a moment.

The person who appeared in her illusion was actually Mulin. Mulin… The two of them came out from the orphanage together. It can be said that they were dependent on each other. When the days were hard, the two would share a dried bun. They didn’t even have any pickled vegetables.

In their most difficult days, they stuck together. They were sad together and prospered together. To this day, Shao Qing could still remember what Mulin had said. If you were a man, I would marry you.

However, after the end of the world, she had traveled over half of China but she did not encounter Mulin. To be honest, Shao Qing had given up hope a bit.

After all, it was the apocalypse. No one would dare say that they can last until the present. Even Shao Qing who was very confident in Mulin did not dare say it.

She could only leave her worries in her heart. Unexpectedly, Mulin appeared in this environment.

When the vine pierced into her chest and tried to draw the blood, Shao Qing realized what was happening. However, she had not broken free. She just wanted to see Mullin once more.

A zombie… where could they get the blood?

Shao Qing casually ripped off the vines piercing into her body, glanced around, and immediately found the unconscious group. They were all tied with a thin vine.

Others were fine, but Yan Qiyue couldn’t stand it. He was a normal person and if he lost too much blood, he would die.

Shao Qing hurriedly cut off the vines from Yan Qiyue’s body and covered the wounds that had been punctured by the vines. The wounds were very thin, but there was still a continuous flow of blood.

Yan Qiyue wrinkled his brows, his face pale. After the vines were cut off, he suddenly opened his eyes and hugged Shao Qing: “No!”

Shao Qing was startled and quickly asked: “What’s wrong? Sorry? It was my carelessness…”

Yan Qiyue’s eyes were a little disorganized. After concentrating his focus on Shao Qing, he was relieved and hugged Shao Qing tightly: “Don’t leave me…”

Shao Qing assumed he probably saw something similar in his illusion where they might have broken up.

After soothing Yan Qiyue, Shao Qing rescued everyone else. During this period, Yan Qiyue held his knees the whole time. He had encountered an illusion earlier. In the illusion, Shao Qing saved many, many people, but they wanted to kill Shao Qing due to her being a zombie.

Yan Qiyue couldn’t stop it. He vaguely remembered that he had been cut into a pile of flesh, only having a relatively complete hand left that was holding onto someone’s trouser leg.

He was obviously dead, but he was still able to look at those people hurting his beloved. Her pain, her despair, they were deeply imprinted in Yan Qiyue.

Yan Qiyue felt that even if he breathed out gently, he would be terribly heartbroken and in pain. This was because he knew that with Shao Qing’s character, if she really encountered a large disaster, she would really go save the people.

As for those inferior people, as long as Shao Qing’s identity is discovered, they will try to kill her.

Even though he knew that this kind of thing was unlikely to happen, Yan Qiyue still couldn’t help shaking. He couldn’t help being afraid, can’t help thinking.

What if?

With any matter relating to Shao Qing’s safety, Yan Qiyue did not want to face even the slightest of risks.

After Shao Qing rescued everyone, they were all awake. Everyone’s illusion was different. The only similarity was it was related to emotions.

Happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.

After saving everyone, Shao Qing focused her attention on the flower in the center. It was stunning.

Anyone who saw everything would have probably thought the tree was the most suspicious. This tree was taller than Guang Guang. The pavilion was like a cover that had its branches extending out for the many small firefly-like creatures resting on it. This made the whole tree appear as if it was glowing.

But what caught Shao Qing’s first glance was the vines wrapped around the tree. The vines looked very thin and docile. Even with spikes, they seemed to have a certain softness to them. The vines extended into the crown of the tree where a beautiful flower stuck its head out of the canopy.

The soft petals were large and a gorgeous red. The part that was slightly darker, reflected its delicate flower heart, the contrast was like comparing blood from the vein and artery.

The stamens curled up like small tentacles, very harmless. However, Shao Qing looked at the flower and couldn’t move her eyes.

The hallucinogenic scent came from this flower. It can be said that it was this flower that had just led Shao Qing and the group into a hallucinated state.

The more delicate it looked, the more dangerous it felt to Shao Qing. It made Shao Qing feel that this flower was irrigated with blood to become its present colour.

As soon as Shao Qing threw off the effects of this flower, it immediately curled up consciously, showing a harmless look. It tried to bluff its way out, but was discovered by Shao Qing.

Shao Qing sneered and released Da Hua, her vines and Guang Guang to guard Er Dai and the rest. Only when they were out of harm’s way could she focus on dealing with this flower with peace of mind.

It’s relatively simple for her to suppress this flower. It was quite high rank, but still incomparable to Shao Qing and her group of ‘little brothers’.

But Shao Qing wanted to see what its capabilities were to decide whether to use it as her sixth plant.

After all, the space in her hand was limited. A precious quota needs to be determined through careful research, otherwise it will be troublesome to conquer it then find out it wasn’t a good choice and try to change it.

Then Shao Qing discovered that the greatest ability of this flower was hallucinations. If its hallucinations were superimposed with Guang Guang, the effect would be even better. Its vines can also assist Shao Qing’s vines. Once Guang Guang is released, this flower hidden within Guang Guang, vines released, whoever entered this field will die.
Shao Qing happily conquered the flower, then found that its most powerful ability was actually not hallucinations, but an ability similar to that of Xiao Baozi.

It can take root into humans, animals, and even plants, then when drawing blood and plant juice, it can convert it into energy to feed itself.

That is to say, as long as there are living creatures around it, when it has exhausted all its energy, coupled with its hallucinogenic ability and vine’s attack power, few were its opponents.

Especially relying on the tree with the strong vitality that it attached to, it was basically invincible.

Unfortunately, it was unlucky as he encountered Shao Qing. Shao Qing was simply his nemesis. For one thing, Shao Qing had no blood. She would not provide any energy to it. Second, it stretched out a vine and wanted to pierce the surrounding plants. Its body drew some energy, but as soon as the fine vines stretched out, they were interrupted by Shao Qing’s vines…

Silence for a second.

After following Shao Qing, Shao Qing has basically doubled her power. She was not afraid of fighting in groups. If she was in a crowd, she could release Guang Guang, plant this little red flower named Xiao Hong*, spread the dodder seeds, have vines in hand, Qiu Tang in ambush, and have Da Hua collecting heads. When her power was exhausted, Xiao Hong could absorb energy and feed it back to her. She was invincible.

* little red

Shao Qing was satisfied. She prepared to take the wounded family members away. Then Xiao Hong shrank around her wrist and suddenly extended its tentacles and pointed to the back of the big tree.

What’s in there?

Shao Qing ordered Er Dai to stay with Guang Guang and to take good care of everyone. Then she walked over. As soon as she went over, Shao Qing was dumbfounded. There was a deep hole behind the big tree.

The pit is deep, but you can see something under the pit as soon as you lower your head.

There was a huge thing like a bud at the bottom of the pit. Ignoring the outer coat, this bud looked more like a giant heart.

There were many bones hanging on the pit wall, as well as the bottom of the pit. It is estimated that many animals or humans were this hearts scraps.
Xiao Hong vaguely conveyed the information to Shao Qing that these prey were all thrown in by the surrounding plants to act as fertilizer.

This heart is a kind of plant and wasn’t a plant. It contains a lot of energy. Once it is mature, if you swallow it, you will have a chance to upgrade to rank 7 or even rank 8.

As the overlord of the surrounding area, Xiao Hong took this thing as something that belonged to it and was waiting for it to mature to eat it.

But it didn’t expect it to become something belonging to Shao Qing…So Xiao Hong couldn’t help offering its treasure. It was reluctant to abandon something it kept for so long and reluctant to offer it to other plants.

Rather than allowing others to take it easily, it is better to give it to its owner. The venture of dubious merit has set sail. Of course, the stronger Shao Qing was, the better it is for it.
