Chapter 965: Relying Only on Wood Element Ability Users
Su Jin had confidence in the effect of the Snow Spirit Flower. However, for the people in A City Industrial Park, it was the first time they had seen someone healed after being scratched by zombies, and the whole park was in an uproar.
"It's actually a real antidote herb!"
"Everyone can be saved now!"
"We don't have to be afraid of zombies anymore."
"That's great..."
"..."
Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Su Jin and Lu Hao couldn't bear to dampen their spirits. Everyone had just gone through a disaster, so it would be better to let them be treated first before saying anything more.
Qi Liangliang's screams continued, as did the cries of some severely injured people.
"It would be best to give them some water to avoid dehydration symptoms."
Su Jin said to Zhang Hanyu.
"Okay, got it!"
Zhang Hanyu also noticed that the injured were expelling a lot of fluids through their skin, but due to the pain, they seemed completely unaware.
"Captain Su, what kind of herb is this Snow Spirit Flower, and where can it be obtained?"
Cai Jianbin, looking rather disheveled from the recent battle, was eager to know how to obtain the Snow Spirit Flower.
"We found the Snow Spirit Flower by chance on M Peak in Y Autonomous Region. The ones you are using now are grown rapidly by Wood Element Ability Users, and the cultivation difficulty is very high."
Su Jin responded.
Only found one flower?
Cai Jianbin looked at a row of injured people lying on the ground. They had used over a hundred flowers just now—was this going to make it too difficult for others?
"Captain Cai, let's discuss the Snow Spirit Flower matters later. For now, saving everyone is the most important thing."
Lu Hao was also concerned about the injured people's treatment. If possible, he didn't want to see too many casualties.
"Alright, then the three of you should rest here and wait."
Calming himself, Cai Jianbin continued to observe the recovery of everyone's injuries.
"Sister Su Jin, I'm also a Wood Element Ability User. Can I grow the Snow Spirit Flower?"
Xiao Zhen, who had been listening, couldn't resist coming over to ask when she heard that the Snow Spirit Flower could only be cultivated by Wood Element Ability Users.
"Of course, currently the Snow Spirit Flower can only rely on us Wood Element Ability Users."
Su Jin remembered that the first time she met Xiao Zhen, under the guise of Zhang Xiaohong, Xiao Zhen was frail and underweight for her age. Fortunately, in the past two years, she had grown taller and gained some weight. It seemed Cai Jianbin cared quite a bit for his daughter.
Xiao Zhen was delighted. She could also cultivate life-saving flowers!
An hour passed, then two...
More and more of the injured had their wounds healed, including Qi Liangliang, whose wounds were treated by Xiao Zhen using her Wood element ability.
Many of those who survived embraced and wept with their loved ones, grateful they did not have to die...
By now, no one doubted the miraculous effects of the Snow Spirit Flower anymore. Everyone's eyes gazed passionately at the Heart Talk Team.
"It seems Liang Jiuhui's worries were unnecessary."
Lu Hao said.
"Yes, at least we don't need to wait here anymore."
Su Jin initially thought that they wouldn't start going out to kill zombies in the A City Industrial Park until they had some antidote like the Snow Spirit Flower or Antidote, as these things were hard to believe. But they coincidentally arrived just in time for this battle.
"I think we can have Dad and the others come out to trade some supplies."
The two of them said as they walked with Mao Qiqi, noting that the consumption of supplies here was likely about right.
"Sure, it saves everyone a long trip back and forth."
Su Jin smiled, thinking how convenient it was to have a teleportation array.
While everyone in the industrial park was busy praising the Snow Spirit Flower, Mao Qiqi and Su Jin stood guard outside a rest room, allowing Lu Hao to inform their family of the situation here.
"Sister Xiao Jin, this is so fun. Should we pretend not to know each other then?"
Mao Qiqi had never thought that the Heart Talk Team and Dragon Ruler could appear simultaneously. This was just too entertaining for her.
"You can pretend not to know or act as if you do."
Su Jin thought that it might actually be better to acknowledge knowing each other since people often compared the two teams before.
After discussing with his family in the space, Lu Hao decided that the next morning, Su Xiangzhe, Nie Qing, Lin Cheng, and Huang Yunxiang would come out for a trip since Lin Xiuyuan had already arranged to go outside killing zombies with Kou Ning, and Lin Tianhui happened to be off work at home with Lu Guanhai, looking after Lu Xi and Lu Wang.
"It's settled."
Lu Hao came out of the space and informed Su Jin and the others of the next day's decision.
"Oh right, I forgot Mom is off tomorrow; that makes it even more convenient."
Furthermore, since Kou Ning went out with Lin Xiuyuan, and Liao Yifan often stayed active in the guest house during her pregnancy, no one would notice if a few family members were missing for a day.
The incident of High-Level Zombie attacks in A City's industrial park saw reduced casualties thanks to the timely delivery of Snow Spirit Flowers by Su Jin, Lu Hao, and Mao Qiqi, who saved hundreds of people from death. This was witnessed by every person in the industrial park.
That night, Su Jin and Lu Hao had an in-depth discussion with Cai Jianbin about the future of the Snow Spirit Flower.
It was only then that Cai Jianbin realized that these three were representing the S City base.
"You're saying you've discovered zombies eating other zombies?"
Hearing the news that the base leader of S City had returned due to this discovery, Cai Jianbin knew he couldn't be careless. No wonder so many High-Level Zombies had appeared before the snow had completely melted.
"Moreover, we suspect that High-Level Zombies might be evolving some form of intelligence, though currently, it's still quite limited."
Lu Hao said, having repeatedly reviewed footage that the Man-eating Flower brought back, he believed the zombie that attacked the Man-eating Flower seemed to have its way of thinking. However, because it hadn't developed to a certain extent, it didn't continue to chase the Man-eating Flower.
"That's simply unbelievable."
Cai Jianbin found himself breaking into a cold sweat. Zombies without intelligence were already troublesome enough; if they acquired thought, it would be terrifying.
There was good news, though. Remembering today's Snow Spirit Flower, Cai Jianbin's earlier despair was replaced with hope.
"How many Snow Spirit Flowers can a Wood Element Ability User cultivate in a day?"
Cai Jianbin asked again.
"At first, Wood Element Ability Users at the S City base couldn't even cultivate a single flower in a week."
Su Jin replied.
"...Why so slow?"
Cai Jianbin thought of his daughter Xiao Zhen, who could grow vegetable seeds in just a few minutes.
"This we still don't know, but due to a snowstorm sealing the city in winter, our S City base has already used some Snow Spirit Flowers to develop a more effective antidote."
Su Jin took out 10 bottles of the precious antidote and handed them to Cai Jianbin.
