Chapter 793: Chapter 793: A Meager Gift
The small sapling was casually pinched in Leng Yebai’s hand, with green leaves displaying the patterns of the enchanting Mandala Flower.
Usually in the space, this little Fusang Tree was the most fragile one.
Despite being called fragile, among this forest, it was the vitality exuding from its leaves that was the most intense.
A kind of indescribable aura surrounded the small tree, with a faint mist lingering around it.
The air had become much fresher.
The energy overflowing between the pine and cypress trees was slowly drawn towards the small Fusang Tree.
For a moment, it was hard to tell whether the mutated pine and cypress trees were giving willingly, or if the small Fusang Tree was stubbornly taking.
Zhong Beihai’s eyes were almost glued to the Fusang Tree leaves, wanting to pick a leaf to confirm, but he couldn’t bear to touch it.
This was the legendary Fusang Tree!
Even after seeing countless illustrations, it is usually hard to recognize this as a Fusang Tree at first glance.
But this tree was so peculiar, that even he, as a regular person, could see the mist surrounding the tree.
With just one look, he confirmed it.
"Can this be used to create a cure? It must be able to, right?"
Zhang Feng stared unblinkingly at the small Fusang Tree, a hint of emotion appearing on his stern face, with mist gathering in his eyes.
A man doesn’t easily shed tears.
The thought of the zombie virus cure being almost crafted brought tears to his eyes.
"Experiments are still necessary, this vitality is too intense, I’ve never felt this mist from any mutated plant, I believe the legendary Fusang Tree can resist the corruption of the zombie virus."
Zhong Beihai vigorously rubbed his cloudy eyes, his wrinkled fingers trembling violently.
Even now, he dared not touch the small Fusang Tree in Leng Yebai’s hands, fearing it might be damaged with a single touch.
"Where did you dig up this tree?"
Zhong Beihai looked at Leng Yebai, a glimmer of hope in his eyes,
"Are there any other mutated plants with such rich vitality? According to records, the Fusang Tree is called so because it is formed by two intertwined Mulberry Trees."
"No, there’s only this one."
Leng Yebai replied calmly.
He couldn’t say that the other one was the Mutated Mandala Flower wrapped around Xiao Niu’s wrist!
"Even if there is only one, it is definitely a divine object. You must take the Fusang Tree and Mr. Zhong back to the Alliance immediately, and start the research right away."
Captain Zhang took out a clean white handkerchief from his pocket, gently wiped the gold-rimmed glasses, put the glasses back on, and added,
"Thanks to Xiao Niu and Xiao Leng, the value of this tree is very high. If a cure for the zombie virus can be developed, you will be humanity’s saviors."
"It was a trivial matter, just happened to come across it. If it weren’t for Captain Zhang bringing us up here, we wouldn’t have found the Fusang Tree, even if we hadn’t dug it up, you would have seen it later."
Leng Yebai handed the small sapling to Zhong Beihai.
For Xiao Niu and Leng Yebai, it was indeed a trivial matter, casually pulling the small Fusang Tree from the space.
Effortless.
Zhong Beihai quickly received it with both hands, very sincerely.
Hearing Leng Yebai’s words, Captain Zhang chuckled softly, continuing,
"Even so, thank you very much."
Thanks for the three melons and two dates from the wealthy family.
For them, it was just a small sapling, but for humanity, it was an entire rank up.
Humanity had taken a big step forward in the fight against the zombie virus.
"Brother Leng is really amazing, he just casually dug up the Fusang Tree!"
"Yeah, yeah! Dug it up just right!"
"Hope the apocalypse ends soon! The Fusang Tree will definitely save the world!"
The Bai Family members flattered on the side, as if it was really Leng Yebai’s luck that was overflowing.
"Truly someone well-read and experienced, the whole family recognizes the Fusang Tree."
Captain Zhang’s face twitched, unable to hold back.
It’s tiring to watch the play.
Really wanted to expose them!
"Ahem, we are a family of scholars, often reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so we know a bit more."
Liu Jing lightly coughed, looking at Bai Yifan.
Signaled him to take over the conversation.
This child is good with words, hoping to get by.
"Right, right, my family is a family of scholars, knows a lot, a lot." Bai Yifan said to himself,
"My grandfather is a teacher who teaches kids to read, teaches and educates people."
"My dad is a lawyer; if the kids are not taught well, they will come in handy when they grow up."
"If sentenced to death, my forensic grandmother can still dissect and let them shine for the last time."
"Lastly, there’s my mom, who arranges their remains for a peaceful burial."
After finishing, Bai Yifan even nodded self-satisfactorily.
Look, look, their whole family is serving the people, being knowledgeable and courteous, what’s so surprising about it?
Captain Zhang: ...
Even though he already knew, hearing Bai Yifan string it all together still shocked him.
This must be the legendary one-stop service!
Bai Yifan’s theory not only shocked Captain Zhang but also left the Bai Family members unworried about what Captain Zhang just said for a moment.
"Then we’ll be off now."
Zhong Beihai, holding the small Fusang Tree, didn’t want to stay here for another minute; he had just set his eyes on many mutated plants, but didn’t have the time to dig them out; now, he didn’t plan on taking them at all.
With the life-vibrant Fusang Tree in hand, humanity’s future was in his grasp; he needed to hurry back and research it.
Compared to the Fusang Tree, all other mutated plants’ brilliance wasn’t as dazzling anymore.
And Captain Zhang’s attitude gave Zhong Beihai a glimmer of hope.
With Captain Zhang’s ability to foresee the future, urging him to hurry back for research, it precisely proved that this small Fusang Tree really had the potential to develop a zombie virus cure!
Captain Zhang nodded, softly instructing six powerful individuals on a few things.
He explained the path back.
The six powerful individuals listened earnestly, believing Captain Zhang guided them on the safest path.
"Thank you again; you will certainly be remembered by all of humanity."
Zhong Beihai solemnly said to Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.
"A trivial matter, no need to tell others, less trouble!"
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai both looked innocent, waving their hands.
For the sake of the act, they even put a bit of dirt on their hands, making them look grubby.
Zhong Beihai, looking at their selfless spirit and the shining image of doing good without seeking fame, instantly felt the two’s figures grew even taller.
Who says young people are unreliable?
Zhong Beihai felt that Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin were more reliable than anyone!
Such a precious plant, they contributed without hesitation!
Selfless, glorious, resplendent!
Zhong Beihai gave a deep look at the Bai Family before leaning against the Wind Ability User and leaving towards the bottom of the mountain.
A gust of wind blew, and the Wind Ability User and Zhong Beihai disappeared from everyone’s sight, with only the mountain plants swaying in the wind, barely confirming which path the Wind Ability User had just taken.
"Roar――"
Just after Zhong Beihai and the others left, a zombie’s howl suddenly echoed through the forest.
The zombie’s howling resounded through the mountain, the echo infinitely stretched, making it even more eerie and terrifying.
It wasn’t just one zombie howling, but a group of zombies.
With the echo’s aid, it almost sent Bai Yifan away.
"Why are there so many zombies in the mountain?"
As Bai Yifan spoke, he stood between Leng Yebai and Bai Xiqin.
In an instant, Bai Yifan felt safe, the panic on his face vanished, and he even poked his head out to look in the direction of the zombie roars.
