Outside the flower cultivation base.

Led by Xiao Tianping, Hou Fuping and his men secretly infiltrated the base.

The group of more than a dozen people didn't dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing the dragonfly king beast.

The moonlight was faint, which provided some visibility.

After successfully entering the base, the group was immediately excited to see the rows of greenhouses.

They quickly entered the first greenhouse.

The greenhouse was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Xiao Tianping said, "Close the greenhouse door, turn on the flashlight, and remember to shine the light downwards, keeping the brightness low."

The plastic greenhouse doesn't block out the light; in fact, it lets in light. If the light is too bright and attracts that dragonfly king beast, they're all doomed.

Under Xiao Tianping's command, several superhumans turned on their flashlights, and the greenhouse was immediately filled with light.

"Search quickly, hurry up!"

"Yes."

Soon, some people began searching for spirit cores in the greenhouse.

But after searching for a few minutes, these people became puzzled.

Not a single one found, not a single one.

"Damn it, this is really weird, there isn't a single one."

After searching for a while, Hou Fuping couldn't help but curse.

"Has it already been searched?"

"How is that possible? That ferocious beast has been guarding outside the whole time. How could someone have gotten there first?"

"That's strange, let's go check out the second greenhouse."

Led by Hou Fuping, the group went to the second greenhouse.

After searching the second shed for a few minutes, the group started cursing again.

"Damn it! What happened? Why aren't they in the second greenhouse either? Could they have already been picked?"

"Impossible! We've been guarding that only route these past few days, and no one has come to the Matoushan base."

"Could it be the group that killed Wang Heng today?"

"But they went during the day, how could they possibly escape the pursuit of that ferocious beast?"

......

A group of people were talking at once, their voices sounding quite loud in the silent darkness.

Because Xiao Tianping had said that the ferocious beast had poor hearing, they did not lower their voices.

But their voices startled Lin Mo.

......

Inside the greenhouse where Lin Mo was located.

He Ning also heard the noise and said to Lin Mo, "It sounds like someone's coming."

"Let's go out and take a look."

Lin Mo led He Ning out of the greenhouse and could vaguely see a faint light shining from the second greenhouse.

At this moment, Hou Fuping and his group also came out, preparing to split up for the search.

When Lin Mo saw Hou Fuping and his group, he was about to go up and take care of them, but then he had another idea.

Looking at Hou Fuping and the others, Lin Mo ordered He Ning, "Use your superpower to shoot at the feet of those people."

Hearing this, He Ning asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Why so many whys? Just shoot when I tell you to. Stop talking nonsense."

Lin Mo slapped He Ning on the back of the head, urging her to hurry up.

He Ning pouted. Although she didn't understand why Lin Mo did this, she still used her flamethrower and fired a few shots into the distance.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three flamethrower bullets struck the ground not far from Hou Fuping, creating three craters and scattering sparks.

The splashing sparks also illuminated the vision of Hou Fuping and the others.

"Who?! Who fired the shot?!"

This startled Hou Fuping and the others, who looked around in surprise.

However, Lin Mo and He Ning were hidden in the darkness and quite far away, so they couldn't see them at all.

"Shoot it on the greenhouse next to us," Lin Mo ordered He Ning.

"Okay."

He Ning raised her gun and aimed again.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three more shots were fired.

Three flamethrowers struck the plastic greenhouse behind Hou Fuping and his entourage.

It's important to know that the greenhouse is covered with highly flammable plastic. The plastic greenhouse will ignite the moment it comes into contact with a flame and burn rapidly.

Upon seeing this from a distance, Xiao Tianping immediately shouted, "Oh no! Put out the fire quickly!"

Under Xiao Tianping's orders, the others finally reacted and used their supernatural abilities to stop the greenhouse from burning.

However, none of them possessed ice or water-based abilities, making it impossible for them to stop them immediately.

At this moment, a rustling sound of flying objects could be heard in mid-air.

Then, the Dragonfly King appeared above everyone's heads.

"Whoosh!"

"Thump!"

With a heavy thud, an F-type ability user in the crowd had his throat slit, dying without even a scream.

"Rustling sound~!"

"Ah~!"

"Help! Help me!"

Because the greenhouse next door was burning fiercely, like a huge bonfire, it illuminated the surrounding area very brightly, allowing the dragonfly king beast to hunt without restraint.

In just a few seconds, several F-level ability users had their throats slit.

Hou Fuping and his group were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

Those people who died were really stupid.

Knowing full well that the dragonfly king beast was incredibly fast, it failed to protect its most vulnerable spot: its neck.

The more panicked you are when you try to escape, the more likely you are to be killed.

He Ning did this very well.

When she was attacked by the Dragonfly King Beast, she did not panic and run away in all directions, but stood still and treated the attack as a defense.

She focused all her attention on the Dragonfly King Beast, thus avoiding being fatally wounded.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hold on until Lin Mo rescued her.

Of course, her actions only prolonged her death.

"Run into the darkness!" Xiao Tianping shouted to the panicked crowd.

The group of people began to run towards a darker, more distant area.

Sure enough, once they ran into the darkness, the dragonfly king stopped chasing them.

At this moment, Hou Fuping also used his supernatural abilities to extinguish the burning greenhouse.

After the flames died down, the surroundings darkened again, and the dragonfly king beast quickly disappeared.

Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but nod.

He had long heard that the Dragonfly King Beast had excellent vision, but it could not hunt in the dark, and it would quickly disappear and lie dormant once the light was lost.

Lin Mo did that just now to test the Dragonfly King Beast's combat capabilities in the dark.

He used Hou Fuping and his group as test subjects.

However, Lin Mo hadn't finished his experiment yet; he wanted to test the Dragonfly King Beast's sensitivity to light.

So he ordered He Ning again, "Shoot a few more flame bullets at those two people to illuminate their surroundings."

Faced with Lin Mo's order, He Ning looked up at him and questioned, "Why did you make me do that? You killed several people."

He Ning finally understood: Lin Mo had made her fire the gun to lure the ferocious beast over. (Based on your reading history, we recommend p>)

"Stop talking nonsense and shoot!" Lin Mo urged.

"I don't!"

This time, He Ning firmly rejected Lin Mo.

"Why did you kill those people? They had no grudge against you. Besides, we are all survivors. We should unite instead of killing each other."

He Ning suddenly felt a sense of guilt; she had indirectly caused the deaths of several people.

"Do you know what these people are here for?" Lin Mo asked He Ning in return.

"I know, they must be here for the spirit cores too."

"Very well, I want all the spirit cores in that greenhouse. What will they do if I don't give them to them?"

Faced with Lin Mo's second question, He Ning understood his meaning.

He Ning didn't think much of it and said directly, "We are all survivors and friends. Our only common enemy is the ferocious beast. Since those people are also here for the spirit core, we should share it with them."

"Only when they are strong enough can they help more people and fight against more ferocious beasts."

Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled.

He really didn't know what to say.

Is He Ning really the so-called saintly figure of the apocalypse?

In Lin Mo's view, she was not some "saintly mother of the apocalypse," but a pure... socialist fighter.

She has lofty ideals; she wants freedom and equality; she wants to protect the whole world.

If everyone were like her, then even the most powerful ferocious beasts would be no match for humans.

But the reality is that in the apocalypse, the thing that is most vulnerable is humanity.

Kindness is the rarest quality in the end times.

So Lin Mo asked He Ning, "How much did you earn a month as a police superintendent before the cataclysm?"

"Hmm... after deducting social insurance and housing fund contributions, it's a little over six thousand. Why are you asking this?"

"If you earn six thousand a month, while some people earn six million or sixty million a month, will they share it with you?"

"You, you're just making excuses, that's completely different from what you said," He Ning said angrily.

"Two different things? In my opinion, they are one thing. I want all the spirit cores in this flower base, and I will not share them with anyone."

After saying that, Lin Mo stopped wasting words with He Ning and disappeared into the darkness in a flash.

"Shedding its shell!"

In the darkness, eight golden swords swiftly thrust out from Lin Mo's body, pale golden energy clinging to his legs, instantly doubling his speed.

"rapidly!"

The moment Lin Mo activated his "Speed" talent, it was as if his legs were strapped with powerful thrusters, and his entire body transformed into a streak of light, rapidly traversing the area, his speed instantly increasing!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Eight golden swords pierced the silent night.

Wherever Lin Mo went, screams of agony filled the air.

"Aaaaaah!"

"Aaaaaah~!"

"A ghost! A ghost!"

"Run! Run faster!"

......

After advancing to Rank D, Lin Mo activated his "Speed" talent, making him even faster. After a series of screams, Hou Fuping and his group fell into the darkness, all killed by Lin Mo.

In their eyes, Lin Mo was not a person at all, but a "ghost," a "ghostly figure," who came and went without a trace like a phantom!

After killing those people, Lin Mo returned to He Ning's side.

At this moment, He Ning stood there blankly. Although she hadn't seen Lin Mo kill anyone, she wasn't stupid and knew what those screams meant.

She looked at Lin Mo, puzzled, and asked, "Why? Why did you kill those people?"

"Because I'm stronger than them," Lin Mo said calmly.

"You, you've gone too far! Those people didn't provoke you, how could you just kill them like that?"

He Ning was furious. She couldn't understand why Lin Mo would kill those people when they hadn't done anything wrong and hadn't provoked him.

Only when those with supernatural abilities unite and face external threats together can they fight against the ferocious beasts and their common enemy.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep looting spirit cores."

Lin Mo handed a flashlight to He Ning and turned to walk into the new greenhouse.

Lin Mo had just figured out the night vision ability of that dragonfly king beast. If you use a flashlight to illuminate the area, as long as it's not too bright, it won't attack you.

Even if it attacks, Lin Mo can simply turn off the flashlight; he's not afraid of it at all.

Therefore, Lin Mo planned to search the greenhouse for spirit cores overnight, taking as many as possible, and then go to the building to rescue Gu Mei and Su Liyue early the next morning.

He Ning followed Lin Mo into the greenhouse. Watching Lin Mo plundering spirit cores, she stomped her foot angrily and said to Lin Mo, "I'm angry, I'm not going to help you pick spirit cores anymore."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo calmly said while collecting spirit cores:

"Since you're so righteous, shouldn't you repay me for saving you three times? If you don't, wouldn't I be doing a good deed without getting any reward? Wouldn't that go against your ideals?"

"you......"

He Ning was so angry that she didn't want to talk, but she still turned on the flashlight and helped Lin Mo continue to search for spirit cores.

She is not the kind of person who likes to use moral blackmail.

She understood a principle: do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.

Her beliefs were never imposed on others; she only needed to do what she believed in and have a clear conscience.

......

at the same time.

inside the building.

Gu Mei and Su Liyue gazed at the spiderwebs outside the window, feeling melancholy.

Su Liyue murmured involuntarily, "Will he come to save us?"

After hearing this, Gu Mei remained silent for a moment before replying, "Yes."

She could tell that Lin Mo was not a treacherous person, much less a dishonest villain.

He said he would come back, and he definitely will.

However, that giant spider is so powerful that Lin Mo will definitely strengthen himself before returning.

In other words, they may have to wait a long time.

Ten days, twenty days, a month, or even longer.

......

The sky gradually brightened.

This flower cultivation base has hundreds of greenhouses, and Lin Mo and He Ning searched through sixteen of them in one night.

After searching until dawn, Lin Mo roughly calculated that he had collected more than 3,000 F-grade spirit cores, more than 200 F-grade spirit cores, and even two D-grade spirit cores.

Keep in mind that this was on the eve of the cataclysm, before the second massive golden rain had even fallen, and D-grade spirit cores were even rarer than D-grade ferocious beasts.

If we convert F-grade spirit cores to E-grade, Lin Mo currently has about 520 E-grade spirit cores and two D-grade spirit cores.

If all are converted to D-grade, that's approximately fifty-four D-grade spirit cores.

So many spirit cores that they almost filled the red plastic bag Lin Mo brought.

However, these spirit cores are not enough to advance to grade C.

Lin Mo plans to advance to C-level before rescuing Su Liyue and Gu Mei.

He wasn't entirely confident he could kill the B-rank Ghost-faced Spider King.

Only after advancing to level C can he be 100% certain.

So, Lin Mo led He Ning to continue the search.
