Before Gao Haoyun, Du Kunsheng had heard that zombies had successfully broken the base, and ordered his subordinates to bring most of the survivors into the underground base which was located twenty meters under the ground.
At that moment, he himself was moving speedily toward the broken part of the fence wall, along with a snowstorm. Icy cold, the fierce wind hit the fence wall along with heavy snow and blew off the zombies which had climbed on top of the wall.
The snow reduced the visibility in that area. Nothing could be seen clearly except the heavy snow, and the cold wind made people's scalps numb.
Du Kunsheng's wind and snow power didn't affect zombies strongly. The best he could do was blow those zombies off the fence wall without being able to freeze them. He also made the surrounding superpowered people shiver in coldness and slow down.
But still, the zombie invasion was stopped effectively.
Anyway, whatever happened to Heilong Base, Lin Qiao had no idea about it. She had avoided Wu Chengyue and moved further into the forest near the lake. The floating grass near the lake was thriving, and had covered the guardrail around it long ago. The lake water was muddy and dark, giving out a disturbing vibe.
Lin Qiao stood on a tree by the lake to observe the lake water.
The other zombies scattered behind her and each found a spot. They didn't dare to come too close to the lake, because the lake made them feel threatened. Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili were the only ones who were able to approach the lake without feeling uncomfortable.
After a whole day of searching the outer area of the forest, Wu Chengyue finally found the thunder beast under Moli's guidance and saw its real face.
"It's a flower, isn't it?" Xiao Licheng curiously looked at the purple flower which was standing on the back of a mutated animal.
The flower was beautiful and large, with five petals, each having a purple-red tail. The stamen in the middle of the flower looked like the tail of a phoenix, and at the end of the stamen was an eye-like pattern.
The stem of the flower was grown out of the mutated animal's shell.
Under the flower was a gigantic turtle carrying a huge shell. The beautiful and strange flower grew straight out of its shell.
It seemed that the flower inhabited on the mutated turtle's shell.
"This turtle is so huge. How heavy is it? A ton? Two?" Xiao Licheng observed the turtle with surprise. The house-sized turtle was lying on the ground motionlessly.
"Look, there're electric sparks in the flower!" Moli abruptly pointed at the purple flower and said.
Both Wu Chengyue and Xiao Licheng fixed their eyes in the middle of the flower. As Moli said, they noticed tiny electric currents flashing across the pistil from time to time.
"I don't think the flower is a part of the turtle. They are just using each other. The flower seems to be able to drag itself out of the ground, but it can't move far. I think that's why it planted itself on the turtle, which was able to run all over the mountain. Look, that's a snapping turtle, " Wu Chengyue said after a while of observation.
"It didn't even stick its head out. How do you know that it's a snapping turtle?" Moli glanced at him and asked.
"Look at the shape of its shell and the patterns on it, " said Wu Chengyue smilingly.
Hearing that, Moli and Xiao Licheng turned their eyes to the turtle shell and tried to discover some features that made it different from regular turtle shells. After spending a short while looking at the turtle shell, they started thinking that maybe all kinds of turtles had the same kind of shell.
"What does it eat? How did it grow this big? Are all mutated animals gigantic? Many mutated animals are larger than before by ten or even a hundred times over, " Xiao Licheng said with a frown.
"That's why they're called mutated animals. Isn't that normal?" Wu Chengyue curved his faintly colored, thin lips slightly downward and then said with a smile.
Right at that moment, the purple flower which was standing quietly on the turtle's shell slowly move toward Wu Chengyue and his people. They had a weird feeling that the flower was looking at them.
"This mutated flower has found us, " Wu Chengyue blinked and said.
"It's gonna launch an attack!" The purple flower started swaying, shaking the tails of its five petals. The electric current in the middle of the flower sparkled more and more quickly than before and started growing large.
The group of people looked at the flower vigilantly. They weren't worried that they might be hurt by a mutated flower, but still stayed alert against it. After all, the flower was a strange being for them all.
The world was big. After the apocalypse, all sorts of mutated animals which possessed all kinds of unexpected powers were created. Some creatures even grew self-consciousness after the apocalypse.
The purple light turned itself to the group of people while the electric current inside it grew brighter and brighter.
Sizzle! The sizzling of the electric current was heard from the distance. After that, a series of muffled thunders came from the sky.
Wu Chengyue and his people looked at the sky but saw no dark clouds. However, the thunder sounded quite real.
On the other side of the forest, Lin Qiao confusedly raised her head to look at the sky as well. The sky was blue, with light, white clouds. Where did the thunder come from? Was that actually a boom caused by some kind of weapon?
As the thunder was heard, the turtle which was lying on the ground and looking like a motionless rock started moving as well. Its shell quaked slightly before the turtle stood up from the ground and exposed its four strong legs.
A fierce-looking turtle head stuck out of the shell and looked around. Judging by its slow reaction, its sensations didn't upgrade.
The turtle looked around but found nothing strange. However, the flower on its back had caused the thunder, meaning that invaders had shown up nearby.
After looking around but finding nothing unusual, the huge snapping turtle moved its enormous legs and turned around as it kept checking the surrounding environment. Its legs were enormous, such that it would need two people to put their arms around a leg of its.
Following another thunder and a sizzling noise, a bolt of lightning landed near Wu Chengyue and his people, raising fire and black smoke from the woods. The giant turtle slowly turned around and fiercely stared at where Wu Chengyue and his people were; it seemed to have accepted some kind of instruction.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The turtle quickly moved toward Wu Chengyue and his people, as if the targeted had been located.
Sizzle... Bang! Two more lightning bolts descended from the sky and landed less than a hundred meters away from Wu Chengyue and the others.
Wu Chengyue noticed that before the lightning bolts fell, the electric current in the middle of the flower had raised a little.
It seemed that the giant snapping turtle was not the thunder beast. It was the flower!
