"Split up and try, pay attention to safety."

After Shen Chengyi finished explaining her idea, she pointed out several places Wei Ran had mentioned that she still remembered somewhat, because whenever they went on missions they always avoided those places.

"If it can't be avoided, it needs to be discussed in advance." Regarding cooperation, Shen Chengyi indicated that this required Wei Ran to step forward and discuss with Cheng Nan, as the two of them were more familiar and had more common ground; she herself was only Deputy Captain, and her usual responsibilities were also about combat arrangements, so it was more stable for everyone to stick to their own duties.

Wei Ran hummed in acknowledgment and nodded, putting the map away again.

"I'll touch base with Cheng Nan," no matter where they were finally assigned, they would have some mental expectations.

After tomorrow's mission was laid out, the evening sleeping time belonged to personal time.

The temporarily erected tents didn't keep warm as strongly as imagined, but the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors could still be dozens of degrees; Shen Chengyi wore thick clothes, and although the protective suit had been taken off, the down jacket and pants were still on.

The sleeping bags were laid flat on the raised moisture-proof mats, Shen Chengyi slept in the innermost corner, with several short-haired female team members beside her.

Everyone was cooperating for the first time, all being relatively cautious; exchanging names counted as conversation.

Shen Chengyi learned a few more names, went to sleep with anticipation for tomorrow in her heart.

…………

Before six o'clock, everyone in the tent was woken up, quickly crawled out of the sleeping bags to wash up simply, put on the protective suits they had taken off, Shen Chengyi walked out of the tent and saw a snow-white, quiet scene.

This might be the benefit of after the snow; even though the sun hadn't come out yet, they could rely on large patches of white to see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Cold air rushed toward them, firmly blocked outside by the protective suits on their bodies.

Wei Ran walked to Shen Chengyi's side and stood still, her slightly distorted tone mentioning that the temperature outside could easily reach minus fifty degrees, their mission was very arduous.

"What about the others?"

"Busy packing luggage and preparing breakfast," Wei Ran spread both hands, gesturing for Shen Chengyi to go inside quickly; she would go find Cheng Nan, and after breakfast it would be time for the day's mission assignment.

Still a bowl of green vegetable porridge; judging by appearance alone it wasn't very attractive, but the taste turned out to be unexpectedly good.

"Tsk, there's canned meat and concentrated chicken soup inside," last night was purely vegetable porridge, this morning the recipe had been improved.

As an old hand who dealt with field meals all year round, Wei Ran knew the taste of these things too well, smiling and encouraging Shen Chengyi to keep it up; their dinner tonight would definitely be better than yesterday and this morning.

"If we can finish the mission early and hunt some small animals around to bring back, dinner will be more abundant."

Wei Ran licked the corner of her mouth, indicating she had hunted quite a few small animals before, including some mutated animals; needless to say, the taste of those animals was really good, flavorful and could provide energy for physical ability consumption.

However, such small animals were not many, because normal mutated creatures were mostly large, and many were inedible plants; even if they were animals, most were insects or hard-to-swallow rats, so people found it quite difficult to break their bottom line.

"Are there wild chickens and wild rabbits outside at this time?" Or rather, mutated varieties of domesticated rabbits, because there were many farms around the shelter.

Shen Chengyi had previously gone to the farms to collect supplies; some farms raised livestock such as the most common chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, and sheep, and also dug up ponds to raise fish.

"There are, there are; those mutated domestic animals have survival abilities not inferior to original wild animals." Although the official uniformly called mutated animals living in the wild "wild creatures," the wild chickens and wild rabbits in Wei Ran's mouth were domestic mutants, one of the main sources of wild meat.

"Okay, we'll complete the official mission first, and if there's time we'll go check the situation."

If they really hunted back mutated animals, they wouldn't lose out.

After the vegetable porridge for breakfast was all eaten, the temporary tents used to block wind and rain were also dismantled, things were put back into the truck again, and the Commander-in-Chief's side separately called the captains of each small group over.

The four directions of southeast, northwest; among them, the south had more mutated creatures, so the Commander-in-Chief simply arranged two teams totaling four groups to go there, while the other three teams each went to a direction, completing specific clearing missions and returning on time.

Wei Ran's luck was relatively good; she was assigned to the east side, which was the direction they came from.

However, "the east side borders the south; if the danger in the south is greater, we might need to provide support."

Wei Ran shook her wrist; the protective suit covered her tightly, not showing her facial expression at all.

But Shen Chengyi could tell that Wei Ran was relatively satisfied with the assignment; at least they didn't have to deal with high-difficulty tasks right away. These people had rested hard in the shelter for a period of time and were rusty, so they needed to recover slowly.

The two stood in place for not long before Cheng Nan led her deputy captain over.

"When do we set off?"

Cheng Nan still had her precious sniper rifle on her shoulder; this was her lifeline, even holding it in her arms while sleeping, in case she couldn't counterattack in time when danger occurred.

"Now, the earlier we go, the earlier we return."

Wei Ran stomped her feet, and the four simply returned to their respective groups and got on the vehicles; with the rumbling sound of the truck beneath them, they headed toward the eastern battlefield.

"This is a murderous willow; its branches are impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire. To deal with it, one must first break through a defense of dozens of meters."

Saying dozens of meters was already conservative; this was data from a few months ago. Wei Ran remembered the branches of murderous willows covering the sky and earth, dense like fallen ropes.

Because this was originally a flat hillside, and willow trees were natives here; unexpectedly, after evolution, that willow tree seemed to have obtained a great opportunity, suddenly growing several times larger for no reason, with stronger aggressiveness.

The official originally didn't want to deal with these mutated plants, because plants had developed root systems, were not easy to move, and posed little threat to the shelter.

But now they clearly received reminders from other shelters and even warnings from their own prophecy-type ability users; the official had no choice but to include these mutated plants in the solution, so this murderous willow could not remain.

Shen Chengyi listened to Wei Ran's analysis, mentioning that among their two groups there were ability users: "First let earth-type and water-type cooperate to thicken the ground and fix the murderous willow's root system; then let wood-type and fire-type cooperate to control the murderous willow's branches; finally, let metal-type and other ability users take action, providing fire support to suppress, cut down the murderous willow's trunk, and destroy its vitality."

"Okay, I'll go arrange the notification first." Wei Ran did not object, because what Shen Chengyi said were all normal procedures for dealing with mutated plants; plants had strong regenerative abilities, and unless the plant's root system was dug out, they could only be messed up.

Messing up meant exactly what it said: using the sturdiness of metal-type or the violence of lightning to directly turn the plant's entire root system into a mess.

The benefit of this was not needing to dig out the root system, saving a lot of effort; the downside was that the root system was completely useless. Although crystal cores could be obtained, there was still less extra income.

Unlike ordinary ability users, official ability users could directly hand over supplies to the official laboratory, and the price given by the laboratory was higher than the Trading Center; they could also directly obtain Evolution Potions.

Every part of a mutated creature's body was very useful raw material; every part of the murderous willow could be used. Even the most numerous willow leaves could be made into Mini Daggers as disposable flying darts.

Wei Ran quickly walked around the vehicle compartment once; the content she spoke was to collect various parts of the murderous willow as much as possible on the premise of ensuring their own safety. The distribution was naturally two-eight first, and after returning it would be five-five. In short, the team members who came along absolutely could not be shortchanged.

"That's all. Everyone has dealt with other mutated plants before. Although they can't compare to the murderous willow, plant abilities are more or less the same." It was just that the murderous willow was more dangerous, with stronger group attacks.

"Rest first, replenish your energy. Before ten o'clock, we should be able to reach the murderous willow's territory."

If everything went smoothly, they would still have a few hours in the afternoon to hunt mutated animals around.

Tsk

Indeed, going on a mission with the Official Shelter was more cost-effective than acting alone. Pity that Official Shelter missions weren't easy; those with low strength were more likely to become Cannon Fodder.

As the time drew nearer, soon the Truck beneath them stopped moving.

Wei Ran stood up in the Che Xiang with a whoosh, jumped down to the Ground first, then called for the others inside the Che Xiang to hurry up and follow.

Not far ahead was the Murder Willow, dense willow branches hanging down like vines as thick as fingers.

This Murder Willow was truly huge; from afar it looked like a Forest, but in fact there was only one Murder Willow in the Forest, and everything else was its Branches.

The dark green Willow Leaves remained spirited in the Cold Wind; Shen Chengyi had good eyes and saw the dense small gears on the oval Leaf, sharp as blades, able to easily slice open people's Clothes.

"Be careful, Earth-type and Water-type Ability Users, step forward first and act according to the plan."

Wei Ran shouted, then quietly made a hand gesture to Cheng Nan, who was wrapped up tightly not far away, and then saw Cheng Nan take the Sniper Rifle from his shoulder and fire at the Murder Willow not far away with a bang.

As the Gunshot landed, the Murder Willow's Branches swayed without wind.

The Willow Tree located by sound; Shen Chengyi and the others had no cover at all, so before they could do anything, the Murder Willow shot out its Willow Leaves from its own body.

Swish swish swish

The Leaves were like chambered Bullets, landing all around Shen Chengyi.

The Wedding Guests, who had prepared early, either lay on the Ground or hid behind vehicles; in short, aside from some who were accidentally cut, everyone else was An Ran.

The Earth-type and Water-type Ability Users began to exert effort; the two types cooperated, with Earth-types first fixing the Ground, then Water-types moistening the accumulated snow and freezing it, occasionally roots would flip up out of the Ground, causing Earth-types and Water-types to work together to cover the roots with a thick Blanket.

The originally warm and soft accumulated snow turned into an ice surface bright enough to see people. Beneath the ice surface was hard as rock Land. Seeing its roots couldn't be pulled out, the Murder Willow frantically waved the branches on the Ground to attack others.

The Water-type and Earth-type Ability Users retreated accordingly; next was the stage for Wood-type and Fire-type, while those responsible for support were still Weapons like Firearms and gunpowder.

Shen Chengyi was a Lightning-type Ability User, the key figure responsible for delivering the final blow to the Murder Willow.

The long Fire Dragon collided with the extending vines and the Murder Willow's willow branches, smashing out brilliant sparks.

The Murder Willow's willow branches were not easy to burn; firelight splashing onto them would just go out cheaply, leaving nothing but a few black marks.

Sporadic sparks fell onto the Ground and would scorch small holes in the originally frozen solid ice surface.

Helpless, they could only have the Wood-type spread out flat and let the Fire-type fight the Murder Willow.

Shen Chengyi took the opportunity to weave through the Murder Willow's branches, coming to a position near its Tree Trunk, with Gunshots sounding from time to time beside her ears; the Murder Willow branches struck down fell onto the Ground, like a thick carpet.

Holding the Long Blade in her palm, Shen Chengyi held her breath and assumed a stance on the spot.

Inaudible Noise was transmitted from the Murder Willow, causing Ordinary People who relied on Firearms to pause for a moment.

Wei Ran had noticed this situation long ago; once it appeared, she immediately had those Ability Users who couldn't use their abilities yet raise their guns and shoot, providing relief time for Ordinary People.

This kind of mental attack was an innate ability of some Mutated Creatures; if Shen Yao were here now, she could counterattack with her mental ability, but for Ability Users and Ordinary People without mental abilities, they could only rely on their own speed to tough it out.

Shen Chengyi seized the time to wave the Long Blade in her hand, constantly attacking the willow branches surrounding her, decisively chopping them down and putting them into her space.

Anyway, the Murder Willow had so many branches that she wouldn't be discovered if she took a few; the tough willow branches could be used as raw materials for too many things. Thinking of the situation at Home, Shen Chengyi simply went all out.

Chop chop chop

Shen Chengyi killed with a Stare, not at all indulging these willow branches.

Her actions almost made the Murder Willow go crazy; fighting on its own turf and unable to win, it was simply bullying the willow too much!

Shen Chengyi didn't care if the Murder Willow went crazy; she seized the time to chop down the surrounding willow branches, and if she chopped out an Empty Space around her, she would move forward a bit and continue chopping.

The Murder Willow's territory of dozens of meters had no shortage of these branches; even broken branches would grow back, and every Mutated Plant was a Wood-type Ability expert.

On the other side, Wei Ran could no longer see Shen Chengyi's position, but she believed Shen Chengyi could complete this mission beautifully; after all, Shen Chengyi's ability was famous throughout the Official Shelter, and luckily she had acted early to snatch the person into her Team.

Cheng Nan walked over holding the Sniper Rifle, gazing with a heavy gaze toward the Distant place, "Are the Metal-type Ability Users ready?"

The Fire-type and Wood-type attacks were about to conclude; next was the stage for Metal-type, Wind-type, and other abilities, and of course, the most critical Lightning-type Ability was still inside, their trump card, hoping to kill with one blow and completely split the Murder Willow until not even ash remained.
