Post-Apocalyptic: Unlimited Resources, Neighbor's Wife and Sister Beg for the Door to Open

Chapter 112 Another Extraordinary Card, Join Us? (Please Read On)

Lu Zheng immediately noticed the four most crucial words in the message.

'Life's Draw

This is this person's special ability.

Let's look at the following introduction.

It can absorb the life force within a target that contains life force. There is an upper limit to the rate at which life force can be absorbed, but the total amount can be absorbed indefinitely.

Life force that cannot be digested by the body will dissipate outside the body.

It can only absorb life force, but cannot transfer it.

After reading the description of his abilities, Lu Zheng felt that this person was simply the nemesis of the mutated peach tree.

If a person's life force absorption rate exceeds the peach tree's life force recovery rate, then the peach tree will surely die.

I just don't know if it can absorb the life force of the parasite on its own.

After reading the introduction to his superpower, Lu Zheng looked at the other information, the first of which was a photo.

A woman with glasses, an exceptionally prominent figure, and a somewhat serious expression.

[Ding! Survivor detected, in progress]

Name: Nan Yirou

Age: 28

[Position: Biological Researcher at Hokuto Research Institute, Professor of Biology at Kyoto University]

[Evaluation: Talented, sensible, with an outstanding physique, beautiful face, intelligent and kind-hearted, willing to dedicate her life to scientific research]

[Conclusion: Meeting the four requirements of 'virtuous and kind, beautiful and intelligent,' successful protection will grant a Superior Quality Unlimited Resources Card.]

Lu Zheng never expected to discover an extraordinary resource card at this time.

But this woman is indeed very perfect. Like Gu Lingyue, she has the same style, image, and is even a professor who studies biology.

Lu Zheng strongly suspected that the two people knew each other.

But now is not the time to think about that.

This person is currently at the Kyoto base, and Lu Zheng needs to go and pick her up for testing.

However, he is currently only a third-tier ability user, which Lu Zheng feels is not enough.

The spatial gate to the Kyoto base had been retrieved. Lu Zheng first returned to Canglan City through the spatial gate, and then came to the Kyoto base through the teleportation array.

After meeting Nan Yirou, the Kyoto base had prepared a batch of crystal cores sufficient for Nan Yirou to upgrade to the fourth tier, and Nan Yirou was already absorbing them.

Lu Zheng led her through the spatial portal into the Peak Base.

Nan Yirou's eyes lit up when she saw the huge peach tree.

"This is truly a great biological masterpiece!"

She exclaimed in amazement.

With the ability to absorb life, she saw a richer scene. At a glance, she saw a huge peach tree that had sunk deep into the ground, and various debris was being rapidly absorbed by it, allowing it to grow to such a large size in a short period of time.

Moreover, the speed at which the life force flows within its body is simply beyond imagination.

When she saw the big tree, it was as if she had seen delicious peaches; she almost drooled.

Lu Zheng asked:

"Professor Nan, are you confident that you can absorb its life force?"

"No."

Nan Yirou answered directly:

"Even if I reach the fourth or even fifth rank, I still won't be able to drain it completely."

"This thing has a very developed underground root system, constantly absorbing the life force of underground organisms and above-ground debris within its range. Its life force transmission speed is also very fast, and my absorption efficiency cannot keep up with its recovery efficiency."

Lu Zheng called Gu Miantang over and then had her release a petrifying light onto a peach tree branch.

"Professor Nan, do you think you can surpass it after reducing its life activity like this?" Gu Miantang's petrification light ability greatly surprised Nan Yirou. She carefully sensed it, then shook her head and said:
"It does have an effect, but it's not enough."

"The peach tree's spiritual consciousness is very active. If I can also control it, and do both, its life recovery efficiency will be greatly reduced. In that case, once I advance to the fourth rank, I should be able to deal with it!"

Lu Zheng immediately thought of Gu Lingyue's special ability: mental hypnosis.

He hadn't paid much attention to this ability all along.

After all, in daily battles, Gu Lingyue doesn't need to provide support. Although she has been working hard to improve her ability level, she hasn't experienced any difficult battles.

It doesn't have many uses.

That's why it has been overlooked.

Now that Nan Yirou brought this up, Lu Zheng realized that Gu Lingyue's ability was quite a powerful tactic.

"Xueqi, go and bring Gu Lingyue over."

"Professor Gu, it really is you!"

Nan Yirou looked at Gu Lingyue in surprise. She and Gu Lingyue had had many academic exchanges. Although Gu Lingyue was only an associate professor, their academic abilities were similar and they had a lot in common.

Even when we don't meet in person, we often video call to exchange our thoughts and discoveries.

Although they weren't exactly best friends, she knew this person quite well.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Lingyue would also become Lu Zheng's woman.

After deciding to have her come, Wang Shengbang personally told her about Lu Zheng's general situation.

He emphasized one thing in particular: all the women around Lu Zheng are basically closely related to him, and you should not have any conflicts with them.

You absolutely must not provoke Lu Zheng, lest you upset or even anger him.

After gaining a general understanding of Lu Zheng's abilities, she became somewhat interested in him. Seeing Gu Lingyue by Lu Zheng's side only fueled her interest.

Gu Lingyue was also somewhat surprised to see Nan Yirou.

"Professor Nan, are you going to join us too?"

She thought that Lu Zheng had taken a liking to Nan Yirou, and that's why Lu Zheng called her over after Nan Yirou mentioned her.

Lu Zheng coughed awkwardly.

Although he was indeed a little tempted when he saw Nan Yirou, she had no such intentions.

He quickly said:
“Lingyue, the authorities want to remove that big peach tree. The main force is Professor Nan Yirou. Her special ability is life absorption. She needs Mian Tang’s petrifying light and your mental hypnosis to weaken and interfere with this big tree.”

"You guys work together to test the effect first. If the plan works, I'll have the official provide crystal cores to help the three of you upgrade quickly."

Before long, Nan Yirou's eyes lit up as she watched the effects of Gu Lingyue's mental hypnosis ability.

"Very good, the life force transport rate has been greatly reduced."

"This method is feasible, but we need to do one thing beforehand: clear away as many life forms as possible from its roots."

"To prevent it from unleashing its full potential and absorbing the life force of surrounding organisms."

“Mr. Lu, only you have the ability to do this.”

This is something only Lu Zheng could do.

The peach tree has an incredibly developed root system; according to Xiong Jin'er's perception, the largest diameter of its underground root system exceeds twelve kilometers.

The entire Peak Base, including any remaining refugees and slightly larger animals in the vicinity, must be relocated.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zheng said:
"Alright, then let everyone move to Pearl Base."

"Xueqi, go and inform Chief Qiu to arrange an area large enough for 60,000 people to live in as soon as possible, which could be a community on the outskirts of the base."

"Mian Tang, Ling Yue, and Professor Nan, you need to level up as soon as possible. I estimate it will take you at least one night to level up. Tomorrow morning, we'll start working on the peach trees!"
