Chapter 779: Chapter 779: Green Empire
The rest of the Bai Family couldn’t see that Zhang Ping had any issues.
In fact, they even felt that Zhang Ping was a good girl who knew right from wrong.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai were huddled together, very close, and the Bai Family didn’t really listen closely to what they were saying.
It’s obvious that the scene unfolding before them was quite sweet.
Both of them had striking looks, and if they had a child, it would surely be fun.
"Xiao Niu, are the oranges tasty?"
Liu Jing sat on the sofa, watching Bai Xiqin nibble on her clothes with relish, her eyes gleaming.
All signs pointed to the fact that her granddaughter was really pregnant.
Craving sour meant a boy, spicy meant a girl, her granddaughter was eating everything, indicating twins!
"They’re delicious. Grandma, do you want some?"
Bai Xiqin casually took a large orange from her space.
It was just picked from the space’s orange tree, and the stem was still slowly oozing juice.
"No, you eat it!"
Liu Jing quickly shook her head, looking at Bai Xiqin with a kind and gentle expression, the smile in her eyes growing even warmer.
She even nudged Bai Zhengxuan with her elbow.
Bai Zhengxuan smiled broadly, already envisioning the scene when the Bai Family’s fourth generation would be born.
Bai Xiqin handed the large orange in her hand to Leng Yebai, letting him continue peeling it, completely unaware that the elderly couple’s gaze was growing softer and softer.
On the way, they stopped and started. A journey that usually took just over twenty hours by high-speed rail now saw the Bai Family taking a bus, reaching the vicinity of Ancient Kunlun Mountain only on the fourth day.
Along the way, they encountered hordes of zombies and the Mutated Wolf King. The Bai Family faced them head-on, forcibly carving out a path through sheer strength.
On the morning of the fourth day after leaving the safety base, Bai Xiqin lazily sat by the window, opening it to soak in the fresh air outside.
The scent of lush vegetation was everywhere, refreshing to inhale.
Bai Xiqin clearly felt that the Superpower Energy in the nearby air was denser than in other places.
This energy permeated the air, cleansing everything around it.
Through the bus window, one could see the dense vegetation outside, blocking out the sky and sun.
The bus didn’t travel smoothly either, as green vines covered the roads everywhere, causing the bus to shake heavily as it ran over them.
This vegetation appeared much denser than those in other mountains.
Since the apocalypse, the Bai Family had only visited Azure Dragon Mountain.
There, monkeys were led by Zhu Yan, and the Fusang Tree stood tall, having essentially become the mountain’s ruler.
Renowned mountains and rivers like Ancient Kunlun Mountain had energy even more potent than that of Azure Dragon Mountain. The mutant animals and plants it nurtured were more powerful than any biological life found in other famous mountains and rivers.
The flora on Ancient Kunlun Mountain was diverse, boasting over fourteen hundred high-level plants and more than four hundred low-level plants.
A glance revealed the most striking features to be the pine and cypress trees.
The towering green plants blocked out the sky and sun, with only dense greenery visible at a glance, occasionally interspersed with some wildflowers.
The recent snowfall hadn’t dealt a devastating blow to these green plants, which continued to thrive abundantly.
The roads were covered with various vines, completely masking any traces left by humans. Only a careful search beneath the green vegetation revealed small signs that humans had once tread here.
The canopy of green was composed of various green plants, having formed a Green Empire.
This was a kingdom belonging entirely to green plants.
Occasionally, small animals would emit low calls, and larger animals could be seen passing through now and then. Upon closer inspection, these were just ordinary animals.
They weren’t mutant animals.
When any species flourishes here, it’s tough for another to achieve greatness.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain.
As a Green Empire formed here, one might expect many animals to reside here, but when the green plants reached a certain level of strength, formidable high-level biological life found it challenging to make a foothold here.
Plants and animals seemed interdependent, living together in a complex ecosystem.
In reality, animals were a destructive presence for plants.
Animals fed on vegetation.
When vegetation grew strong, it wouldn’t allow powerful mutant animals to exist.
Thus, while the green vegetation filled one’s view, not many mutant animals appeared before them.
This is relatively speaking; the lack of many mutant animals doesn’t mean there were none.
Any species able to take root in the Green Empire would be the most powerful tribe.
What this tribe consisted of remains unknown.
The bus slowly entered the Ancient Kunlun Mountain Range, but there were too many green plants inside, making it impossible for buses or cars to proceed.
Bai Yifan and the Base Commander parked the bus and cars in a hidden spot, locked the doors, and got off.
"The air here is really nice!"
Bai Yifan took a deep breath, a smile on his face.
"The energy fluctuations are also strong. The concentration isn’t as high as that of an ordinary crystal core, but to enhance superpowers, even if you don’t absorb crystal cores, it’s much more effective than outside!"
Bai Xiqin squatted slightly on the ground, running her fingers over it.
After quite some time, she peeled back a layer of green vines covering the topmost part, revealing the soil beneath.
Under the scorching sun, a thick layer of vegetation perfectly protected the moisture within the soil, showing no signs of drying.
She pinched the soil with her hand, still feeling its moisture.
"This place is really something."
Bai Zhengxuan and Liu Jing stared blankly up at a part of the mountainside, a bit astonished.
In that spot, there was a hidden research facility that Bai Zhengxuan and Liu Jing had destroyed themselves.
At that time, the entire mountain shook violently, and large areas of vegetation were decimated.
Now, looking back, lush greenery covered it all, showing no signs of the previous explosions.
The energy fluctuations in the air were still evident, with that mysterious energy spreading through the mountains and rivers, radiating energy into the air.
This energy not vanishing meant that mutant animals and Superpower Users wouldn’t disappear either; the apocalypse would continue.
The elderly couple had initially believed that their self-destruction could devastate the place, reducing energy fluctuations and gradually restoring peace to the world.
But this wasn’t the case.
Everything was still ongoing.
At a glance, mysterious plants firmly protected the entire mountain range, with even the previously destroyed plants now rapidly growing into towering trees.
In the end, they had lost to nature.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Bai Xiqin had just stood up from sifting soil when she saw Bai Anhai expressionless.
Bai Anhai stood calmly among the crowd, clutching a dagger, scanning his surroundings with extreme vigilance.
It was as if they’d entered a very dangerous place.
Bai Xiqin could even smell the scent of ginseng medicinal wine emanating from her father.
Over the past few days, there hadn’t been any disasters, yet he’d consumed quite a bit of medicinal wine.
"The Superpower fluctuations here are intense; it’s almost the best place next to space in existence. Ideally, many people and animals would inhabit here. But the silence suggests danger, so it’s better to be a bit cautious."
Bai Anhai spoke with a great deal of seriousness.
Being cautious never hurts.
Moreover, Bai Yifan’s words made him uneasy, one careless move, and he might become fertilizer for the green plants.
Despite not delving deep yet, Bai Anhai was more tense than anyone else.
