Chapter 852: Treat Me as a Dead Man
Chapter 852: Chapter 852: Treat Me as a Dead Man
Captain Zhang and Zhang Yiming stepped aside to make room for Bai Xiqin.
Zhang Yiming had nowhere else to go and he didn’t dare to stray too far, fearing the giant beast from the sea might suddenly emerge.
So, he hid in this forest that was perfect for hiding.
By the time Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai arrived, he had already noticed them and tried to minimize his presence.
In the shadows, he protected Xiao Niu’s little vest.
Unexpectedly, he was still discovered.
Now Zhang Yiming was extremely embarrassed, wishing he could smash Leng Yebai’s head and die right there.
"When did you come down?"
Zhang Yiming kept his eyes covered, making Bai Xiqin doubt how he ever became a college classmate with her, perhaps his family pulled some strings.
How did he get admitted?
Where’s the academic ace persona?
Why does he seem just like Fan Tangtang?
His facial muscles twitched as he silently removed his hand and jumped down from the tree.
He tried not to look at the Fusang Tree, pretending he didn’t know Bai Xiqin’s secret.
Pretending with all his might.
Xiao Niu doesn’t want anyone to know, so he truly doesn’t know, not even if he’s beaten to death he still won’t know, even with the truth right before him he doesn’t see it.
"Ahem, your pet is quite unique."
Finally, Zhang Yiming said this one sentence.
He didn’t mention the space, the Fusang Tree, nor the world-saving matters.
Just like ordinary people greeting each other by casually asking if they’ve eaten.
"Yeah, my pet is indeed quite strange."
Bai Xiqin took the Water Python from her shoulder and in two seconds twisted it into various pretzel shapes.
Water Python: ...
"In front of this guy, don’t bother speaking in the future, he’s an outsider."
Leng Yebai’s chilly voice reached the ears of the Water Python.
Even if Zhang Yiming already knew about it, Leng Yebai certainly wouldn’t admit he was "one of the Bai Family".
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
The Water Python didn’t know what it did wrong, it could only respond with a couple of hisses.
Letting the owner turn it into a pretzel.
It seemed uncomfortable, but actually felt kind of... flattered.
At least, the owner wouldn’t casually twist Taowu nor Qin Yuan like this.
It’s always been one of the most favored.
"Consider me dead."
Zhang Yiming thought for a moment and then earnestly uttered five words.
The dead are the best at keeping secrets, and he truly is a dead man!
And really would keep secrets forever.
If necessary, he could eliminate Captain Zhang who knows the truth to prove his determination.
Bai Xiqin: ...
She felt a chill sweeping through, making the weather much colder.
She never considered Xiao Ming as dead, although he truly is a Zombie, also truly dead...
But hearing Zhang Yiming say it himself, something felt off.
The air was thick with a sense of awkwardness, and for a moment, no one spoke again.
They truly didn’t know what to say next.
"Do you need my help, those guys in the ocean can also contribute."
Zhang Yiming touched his nose, speaking in a low voice.
Wanting to pretend he knew nothing, but this task seemed too massive for this little White Snake.
A snake as small as the Water Python wouldn’t be enough for the sea monsters.
"Ahem ahem, speaking of which you may not believe it, these flourishing Fusang Trees were actually found along the way, heard that planting them in seawater can prevent most fish from mutating."
Bai Xiqin lied through her teeth.
Anyway, it was already exposed, whatever she said made no difference.
But she still didn’t want to openly confess, just wanted to quietly be a slightly powerful Superpower User.
She had no space, no Fusang Tree, just some seemingly silly beloved ones.
Pretending nobody knew anything.
"... I believe you."
Zhang Yiming earnestly nodded, he didn’t refute, and was even convincing his own mind.
Whatever Xiao Niu says, he believes.
Calling a deer a horse can work too.
Anything will do.
However, Zhang Yiming couldn’t help but sneak a glance at those heaps of Fusang Trees.
Inside he was suppressing the stampede of wild horses.
He discovered for the first time, Xiao Niu truly was a big deal among big deals.
Even a few random fruits she showed were enough to benefit survivors worldwide.
Despite the shock, Zhang Yiming felt a lingering worry.
The crime of having a precious jade, is too, a grave one.
If discovered by those with malicious intent, it would be very dangerous, no one could resist such temptations.
Zhang Yiming’s eyes subtly flickered, now finding Captain Zhang poisonous yet somehow pleasing to the eye!
Water Python: ...
Having witnessed its owner’s actions throughout, the Water Python started to doubt its understanding of the world.
What is black, what is white?
Who killed me, and whom have I killed?
"Then let’s get working quickly!"
Bai Xiqin tossed the Water Python out, its pretzel-shaped body swiftly restored in the air, transforming into the likeness of a small snake.
Its body was remarkably resilient, just landing on the ground it promptly bounced onto its little brother, the Mutated Giant Python.
The Mutated Giant Python caught the Water Python dutifully, its icy eyes radiated with a touch of maternal love.
"You just need to toss these trees into the seawater, then you don’t need to worry."
Zhang Yiming directed his words to the Water Python and Mutated Giant Python.
He believed they could understand.
The Mutated Giant Python slightly nodded, its massive tail scooped up several Fusang Trees and moved toward the shore.
"Go go go!"
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
The Water Python cheered for the Mutated Giant Python in two languages, full of merriment and rhythm.
With its small frame, it could only do this.
Luckily it had a powerful little brother!
Otherwise, it would drag out forever, and by then, the bulky Taowu would certainly be the one favored!
The Mutated Giant Python wasn’t annoyed by the Water Python, amidst its busyness it gently nudged the Water Python with its body as if teasing a child.
The first batch of Fusang Trees were thrown into the seawater by the Mutated Giant Python.
When the Fusang Trees hit the seawater, something beneath the water immediately dragged them away, creating huge splashes.
The black shadow slowly vanished beneath the sea, leaving no trace.
Zombies of sea creatures, under the brainwave influence of Zhang Yiming, as long as they surrendered to him, would be at his disposal.
Never to betray.
The commands Zhang Yiming gave them were simple: to plant the Fusang Trees in a suitable spot and guard there without causing damage.
Fusang Trees are full of life, and Zombie sea creatures typically wouldn’t approach such vibrant plants, while normal sea creatures wouldn’t be foolish enough to mess with plants guarded by Zombie sea creatures.
The Mutated Giant Python diligently dragged the Fusang Trees while the Water Python diligently cheered them on.
Going back and forth more than a dozen times, they finally tossed all the Fusang Trees into the ocean.
The Mandala Flower on Bai Xiqin’s wrist gently swayed.
The Mandala Flower had originally grown alongside the first Fusang Tree in the space, these Fusang Trees tossed into the sea were all born of the same root, sharing a lineage.
The tree leaves even bore the Mandala Flower’s pattern, allowing the Mandala Flower to have slight perception of their existence.
More like individual avatars of the Fusang Tree.
"Master, master, I feel the water where the seedlings were tossed is clearer."
The seedlings the Water Python referred to were those hundreds of Fusang Trees.
Compared to the Fusang Tree growing with the Mandala Flower in the space, these Fusang Trees truly were nothing but seedlings.
