The island was shrouded in thick fog, which greatly affected everyone's travel plans.

Lin Shuangshuang held onto the rope, looking around to check her surroundings. This "isolated island" was actually a city, the highest point in the city, which had now been invaded by various mutated plants.

The vines pierced through the building, broke through the roof, and bloomed into a huge flower. In the blink of an eye, it opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and swallowed the mutated bird whole.

Their team was tasked with collecting samples of mutated plants, so all they had to do was collect any plants or seeds they had never seen before.

Wu Zhe led the way, saying, "It's really strange. This place is just like Brother Xiaotian's village. The outside is frozen solid, but the inside is so full of life."

These plants seemed unaffected by the extreme cold, stretching out their branches and leaves to enjoy it.

Huo Ling looked up at his wristband, which showed that the pollution level here was as high as 40%, which could be considered a medium-risk environment. "We can't stay here any longer."

Although they have all taken pills to reduce pollution levels, it is still dangerous to stay in this environment for a long time.

Lorna and the others nodded. "Then let's finish this quickly. There are lots of things that look like wheat growing over there. I'll go over and grab a handful!"

She already had a sack in her hand.

Wu Zhe said, "It's really inconvenient that we can't use spatial abilities here."

Gao Lei said there was no other way, the region was special, "and don't rely too much on space. The apocalypse is ever-changing, and who knows when space will disappear, then we're doomed."

Luo Na and Wu Zhe told him to quickly spit it out, lest what he said come true.

Lin Shuangshuang had already taken the steel pipe out of her space card before coming to the island. This was enough of her weapon. However, everyone still had two guns hidden on their waists: a laser gun and a regular pistol from before the apocalypse.

Zhang Dapeng made sure each of them carried it, just in case, it might come in handy.

They were all fully armed and equipped, so they didn't feel particularly strenuous walking on the deserted island.

It was relatively easy.

When Lorna approached, the mutated wheat, which she had initially thought was harmless, suddenly attacked her, shooting its awns at her.

A fire shield immediately appeared.

Burn these mutated wheat awns; luckily, they were low-grade.

Lorna was startled. "Oh my god, you really can't underestimate them. Even if you're mentally prepared, you'll still be scared to death. Every single plant here is aggressive! This place is too scary."

She told everyone not to touch these plants casually and to be careful around them.

Gao Lei used a petrified flying blade to successfully cut down the small patch of mutated wheat.

Luo Na then picked it up. She was wearing gloves specially made by Zhang Dapeng, so she wasn't afraid that they might suddenly attack again. This time, she successfully picked it up.

Collection task +1.

The three of them agreed that it was like playing a game, strangely interesting.

Huo Ling remained on high alert.

His mental power enveloped the area, and every move within the safe zone could not escape his mental detection; everything was currently safe.

Lin Shuangshuang had already efficiently hauled away half a sack of berries: a bunch of unfamiliar bright red berries, large, purplish-black flowers, grass that looked like butterflies, and ginseng that was spirally intertwined...

The mutated plants are bizarre and strange in shape.

of course.

Some of them, being ignorant, would attack her. Lin Shuangshuang would glare at them and they would wilt. If they still didn't listen, she would shock them to drain their moisture.

Water-based superpowers can be used like this??

The group of passersby who happened to be passing by were completely dumbfounded.

"Water-based superpowers can store water, condense it into water arrows, water spheres, water shields, purify and refine it, and this can even absorb water in reverse?"

"That's a great trick! The principle of water-based abilities is to store water, that is, to collect moisture from the air and various places and use it for oneself. She's precisely purifying it, directly absorbing all the moisture from the designated target..."

"Such strong self-control."

"Is this how the pros play?"

"This skill is terrifying! It's chilling to think about. If things continue like this, wouldn't she be able to easily drain a person dry if she wanted to?"

"Holy crap, a giant mosquito has appeared!!"

Lin Shuangshuang listened to these idle gossips with a blank expression, leaving the little monster speechless.

She turned to Huo Ling, "Should we bring another copy back for Dr. Zhao?"

These plants are indeed very strange; perhaps Zhao Pingsheng will become interested in them.

Huo Ling was digging up a red flower that looked like a skull with a shovel when he heard this, he said, "Sure, take it if you want. If you want to find certain people, you can go find them too."

The first sentence was very serious, but why does the second sentence sound so sarcastic?

Lin Shuangshuang looked distressed. So she hadn't managed to appease him yet? She said in a low voice, "I didn't intend to look for them, and I don't really remember them."

Huo Ling said expressionlessly, "Oh, so there really is?"

Lin Shuangshuang's eyes widened as she accused him, "How could you do this? You tricked me!"

Huo Ling snorted and continued working.

Lin Shuangshuang was unhappy. She walked to his side and bumped his arm with her head. Huo Ling was caught off guard and was knocked to the side by her.

Young Master Huo exclaimed in disbelief, "You actually headbutted me for their sake?!"

Lin the Little Monster huffed, "It's not for them, it's because you lied to me!"

Huo Ling wanted to say, "You haven't lied to me enough. What's wrong with me bluffing you once?" But he kept quiet because if he continued, the acid in his stomach would rise again, gurgling like a belly full of sparkling water.

The two had a falling out.

"Things are getting better now. These two are always bickering after they made up, hehe!" Rona had just killed a mutated dandelion and was digging it up when she saw the young couple bickering, and couldn't help but laugh along.

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe shook their heads, their captain was just too childish to bear.

Because of the hierarchy.

The first half of the collection task was not stressful at all, and several sacks were collected in no time.

As dusk fell.

They found a relatively open spot and prepared to set up camp and rest.

Lin Shuangshuang was checking her harvest from this morning. She had collected a total of sixty-three mutated plants. She could take a picture of each one and upload it to the mission center, where there was a collection list.

When the time comes, bring the physical item back for verification. If there are no problems, the payment will be deposited into your account.

The headquarters always does these details very well.

Lin Shuangshuang registered her account under Huo Ling's account because her personal account was inconvenient. In addition, with the 52 kinds of mutated plants he collected, this account collected a total of 115 kinds of mutated plants, which was a very fruitful harvest.

Unfortunately, that person was still being difficult and wouldn't let her hold his hand, even with the rope around.

Lin Shuangshuang was frustrated. What should she do if her boyfriend was too hard to coax? She should just keep coaxing him. Putting herself in his shoes, she figured that if Huo Ling made a bunch of new friends she didn't know, she would probably feel pretty sad too.
