Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

What's a bit scary is that the newly grown mutated plants are not necessarily the same as the previous varieties.

This is also a mystery to many researchers, who rack their brains but can't find the reason.

"I remember at the beginning, they were afraid of fire; a big fire would destroy them. But these things seem to evolve; they've become heat-resistant now. Sigh."

The driver sighed, while Shi Jinwei listened and observed her surroundings.

There is only a short stretch of smooth road at the entrance of the base; the rest is a broken and impassable section.

The bearded man skillfully turned down and entered the dirt road beside him.

The mission team cleans up every day, and all that can be seen around the base are broken plant roots and messy things.

It's impossible to tell what kind of wreckage it is.

Further away, there are dilapidated high-rise buildings and the plants surrounding them.

Only after leaving the base did I realize that it was just a district in Anping City.

The city of Anping outside is now overrun by a dense swarm of mutated plants and animals.

Most of the dilapidated buildings have become a playground for these plants.

Many vines use them as supports to climb, and only glimpses of the walls and window frames can be seen through the gaps.

As you get closer, you can hear the roars of wild animals, shouts of people, and gunshots.

That was a battle between mutated animals and the mission takers.

Under the dim sky, these sounds and images gave her a more direct sense of what the post-apocalyptic world would be like.

Her mission was to enter the city and hunt down a Jade Dew plant.

The task location is a residential building in a certain community in Anping City.

After asking about the mission location, the bearded man skillfully drove towards the city.

The two decided to go to the mission location first to check the situation. If Yu Lu was not there, they would search for her elsewhere.

Official sweeping missions will not be ignored even if the mission objective disappears.

This will only be attributed to the tasker's failure, resulting in a deduction of 20 contribution points.

Because of the constant influx of people, many roads in the city have been cleared for driving.

The sights she saw after entering the city were even more eye-opening for her.

First, I saw more than a dozen people surrounding a pheasant that was one meter tall.

That's right, it's a wild pheasant.

The mutated pheasant can not only fly, but its long tail is also a deadly weapon.

It fluttered in mid-air, its tail mutated, the decorative long feathers gone.

It turned into a real, moving tail that could attack people.

With a sweep of its tail, which was over two meters long, dust and pebbles flew up all around.

The defensive ability user immediately erected a shield to protect their companion.

Offensive ability users, protected by their companions, continuously unleash their power.

They even differentiate between ranged and melee combat.

There is also the tank (the warrior who draws the boss's aggro in the game).

It's almost like a monster-fighting game has become a reality.

She had read similar novels before; she was young then and found them very exciting.

I think those people are so amazing and cool, they even have superpowers.

However, when you experience it firsthand, you'll only feel that it's a nightmare where you could easily lose your life.

The mutated pheasant's sharp claws easily caught a mutant in its hand.

The mutant screamed as it was crushed by claws.

Blood fell from the sky, splattering on the people around them.

Shi Jinwei saw through the binoculars that the group of people had blank expressions.

He did not show any strong emotions due to his companion's death.

The battle continues...

The second mission team consisted of only four people.

The three of them kept chopping at the roots of a mutated foxtail grass.

A fourth superhuman flew in the sky, attracting its attention.

This guy mutated after the apocalypse and grew to be three meters tall.

The fluff at the top is like a dandelion seed that can fly away.

At this moment, its attention was drawn to the superhuman flying in the sky, and the seeds shot out at that person like bullets.

The person dodged nimbly.

However, the next second, vines appeared out of nowhere and attacked from the other side.

Lift his "head" directly and wrap it around his ankle.

The man nimbly dodged the attack, then pulled out his gun and fired a burst of shots at the vines.

Shi Jinwei then realized that this person's gun was different from the ones used by the others.

What flew out was something like a dart.

After being shot into the vine, the vine swayed and collapsed as if drunk.

"Is this a tranquilizer gun?" she asked the bearded man.

The bearded man nodded: "Yes, but bullets are expensive, at least 2000 contribution points each. Wow, this guy is so rich, he must be some kind of rich kid on a training mission, otherwise this mission wouldn't even cover the cost of a single bullet, he'd be losing money hand over fist."

This also explains why not everyone has a tranquilizer gun, including that big guy at the base entrance yesterday.

Even though the superhumans were fighting in the rain, none of them pulled out this kind of gun, which shows how precious it is.

2000 contribution points are enough for a family of three in the slums to cover their expenses for a month...

As they continued driving inward, the sounds of fighting intensified.

Shi Jinwei didn't see anyone again until she reached the entrance of the residential area, where she finally spotted the third mission team.

This group was even larger, with more than thirty people.

The mission objective is quite interesting; it's actually "Hit-Man Willow".

A willow tree over ten meters tall kept swinging its vines, attacking the surrounding mission participants.

What's even more unusual is that leaves can also be used as "weapons".

Shi Jinwei saw a mission participant nimbly dodge the lashing willow branch, only to be hit by a flying leaf the next second.

A dozen or so leaves shot into his protective suit, making him look almost like a hedgehog.

The man quickly broke out of the encirclement, got into his car, turned on the air purifier, and changed his clothes.

This made Shi Jinwei feel fortunate that she had bought enough protective suits.

The bearded man originally intended to bypass the group and enter the residential area.

However, the entrance to the residential area was almost completely blocked by willow trees.

The two had to crawl under the willow tree to enter the residential area.

Looking at the guy who's almost gone berserk, this is clearly unrealistic.

The bearded man stopped the car and turned to ask Shi Jinwei what to do, whether they should change locations.

Then they heard the group of people burst into exclamations.

Turning around, I saw that the willow tree looked as if it had been split in half, directly split in the middle.

Half of the tree trunk was still attached to the ground, while the other half lay on the ground as if it had been cut in half.

The gasp came from the side where the person had fallen.

The people below are fighting fiercely, and the target doesn't seem to have suffered much damage.

While I was still feeling down, in the blink of an eye, the tree trunk on my side collapsed.

They were so frightened that they all backed away.

A liquid resembling red blood gushed from inside the tree trunk, splattering everyone.

Shi Jinwei was also feeling down in the car.

If this tree were "slender," she might be able to rip it in half.

But the tree is too thick; the tear selection area is only 2.2 square meters.

Although there is no height limit, it is unrealistic to expect such a large object to be "shattered to pieces".

So that's how it turned out to be the external effect.

After the tree trunk was split open, the superhumans were horrified by what they saw inside.

Including Shi Jinwei.

For so many years, we've been slowly grinding down and cutting down these huge plants, one by one.

Cutting it in half vertically, let alone their base, probably never even happened to a large safe city.
