Zuo Feng gently stroked her head and smiled, “Alright, if you like it, it’s yours.”
Xiao Mi Tao immediately cheered, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and pecked Zuo Feng on the cheek before running off.
She pulled over the newly subdued variant, and Xiao Mi Tao named the variant “Mu’er.” The two symbiotic spirit beasts were named “Mu Jingjing” and “Mu Lingling” respectively. As for the Pigeon eggs laid by Mu’er, after some discussion among the girls, they were named “grain crystal.”
Xiao Mi Tao’s upcoming tasks were quite heavy; she still had to research and name those strange plants one by one. However, for now, no one had any immediate plans to plant these in the base.
Currently, everyone still needed to keep Mu’er, Mu Jingjing, and Mu Lingling close for safety.
“Alright, girls, time to sleep. We have a busy day tomorrow!”
The girls nodded obediently and returned to their beds.
Before long, the rhythmic sound of breathing filled the tin-plate room. Zuo Feng, holding Da Bai Tu and Xiao Mi Tao, slowly closed his eyes.
As night deepened, the tin-plate room became quiet.
However, a storm was brewing in Dream City.
This night, all medium and larger forces in Dream City were destined for sleeplessness.
The Sanshui Gang was not a small-time player like the Flying Eagle Gang, to be wiped out so easily.
It was one of the top ten major forces among the small and medium-sized powers in Dream City. News of its demise quickly spread, shocking all major forces, who convened emergency meetings overnight. A storm to carve up the Sanshui Gang’s territory suddenly swept through Dream City.
Even Peerless Apocalypse and the Three Giants were alarmed, sending out scouts to gather information.
As for Feng Yundan, who had been released, he knew that, severely injured, he would find it difficult to protect himself in this storm. He could only reluctantly choose to go into hiding, fleeing Dream City overnight to avoid the immediate danger.
Once his injuries healed, he would try to make a comeback.
Although Firefly was at the center of this storm, Zuo Feng didn’t care. The girls had worked hard all day and deserved a good night’s sleep.
The next day, the Firefly girls set off again, transporting over 100 technical personnel and supplies back to Firefly Base. Of course, Xi Luoluo and her son also went along.
Only Zuo Feng and Xiao Mi Tao remained in Dream City. At this moment, inside the tin-plate room, Zuo Feng sat leisurely on a stool, holding Xiao Mi Tao. Fox Yaorao also sat nearby, her eyes filled with excitement. Having only learned of the Sanshui Gang’s demise that morning, she was too shocked to speak.
Although she didn’t know the specifics, she knew it must be related to Zuo Feng.
That was the Sanshui Gang! Now, the outside world was in an uproar, yet Brother Zuo remained so calm. How much confidence must he have! Fox Yaorao felt incredibly fortunate that the powerful backing she had found this time was truly immense!
“Any intel recently?” Zuo Feng asked Fox Yaorao softly, occasionally teasing Xiao Mi Tao.
“Brother Zuo, the biggest intelligence right now is the demise of the Sanshui Gang.”
Fox Yaorao said urgently, “All major forces are secretly vying to carve up the territory. Moreover, the news that you and your group entered the Sanshui Gang to scavenge supplies has also spread. Many forces are inquiring about your whereabouts, hoping to get a piece of the pie.”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Feng’s lips curved slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He said casually, “Ignore them. If any short-sighted force dares to test us, then I don’t mind going to their headquarters to scavenge a bit.”
Fox Yaorao’s heart tightened at his words, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes. She continued:
“Dou Paopao has made significant progress. She’s close to contacting the higher-ups of the Wild Wolf Gang, and I believe there will be results soon. The other girls also have some information, which is currently in the verification stage.”
Zuo Feng nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes: “Tell them not to rush too much; safety comes first.”
“Understood, Brother Zuo. I’ll go make the arrangements now.”
Fox Yaorao stood up and left.
Zuo Feng watched Fox Yaorao leave, then lowered his head to gently stroke Xiao Mi Tao’s hair, looking at Xiao Mi Tao’s neckline, and began to loosen Xiao Mi Tao’s neckline…
Unbeknownst to Zuo Feng, sketch portraits of him and the Firefly girls had already been posted on the intelligence walls of various major forces. The mystery of how the Sanshui Gang was destroyed remained unsolved, and the heavily injured Sanshui Gang leader was still in hiding.
However, the news that the Sanshui Gang leader, accompanied by Zuo Feng and ten incredibly beautiful women, had raided the Sanshui Gang headquarters last night had spread. Various forces had different conjectures: some guessed that the Sanshui Gang’s demise was related to Zuo Feng; others speculated that the Sanshui Gang’s supplies were actually controlled by Feng Yundan, and Zuo Feng’s group were just a front; still other forces had set their sights on the Firefly Ten Maidens, who were as beautiful as celestial beings.
But the goal of all forces was consistent: to find Zuo Feng and the Firefly Ten Maidens.
Zuo Feng, however, was completely unaware, still leisurely enjoying the fun of teasing Xiao Mi Tao.
Fortunately, the area where Zuo Feng was located received no attention, and no forces had yet discovered his whereabouts.
After some playful teasing, the two quietly left Dream City. They had another task today: to test the specific abilities of those strange plants. They chose a secluded valley and began to meticulously experiment with the characteristics of these plants.
The two chose a secluded valley and began to carefully experiment with the characteristics of these plants.
This experiment took an entire day. In summary, the seeds possessed by Mu Jingjing and Mu Lingling comprised a total of six varieties.
The first type: a plant about one person tall, capable of firing countless leaves with the power comparable to a heavy machine gun. Each plant could fire nearly 1000 leaves and was named “Leaf Blade Machine Gun.” There were 300 such plants.
The second type: trees bearing human-head-sized fruits, capable of throwing fruits as an attack. The bursting fruits contained no less than 2000 watermelon-seed-sized seeds, with power also comparable to a heavy machine gun. Each tree bore nearly a hundred fruits, with an attack range of 200 meters. There were 200 such trees. They were named “Explosive Fruit Tree.”
The third type: a vine-like plant, with its ground portion resembling a shrub. Once planted, its roots could instantly cover an area of ten meters in radius. If any creature entered, roots would shoot out of the soil to strangle it, with enough power to tear a Four Horizontal Bars Zombie to shreds. There were 150 such plants, with an attack range of 100 meters. They were named “Strangling Vines.”
The fourth type: a tree up to 50 meters tall, adorned with magnificent giant flowers. The pistils at the center of the flowers were each two meters long, capable of locking onto targets and firing. The shot pistils were powerful enough to kill a Five Horizontal Bars Zombie. Each tree had about 50 flowers, and each flower contained nearly 50 pistils. There were 150 such plants, with an attack range of 300 meters. They were named “flower pistil giant tree.”
The fifth type: an herbaceous plant about 10 meters tall, with a giant flower at its top, measuring 30 meters in diameter. The flower could move freely and could swallow a Six Horizontal Bars Zombie in one gulp. After consumption, the flower would quickly close to digest. Although it was a close-range attack, its speed after locking onto prey was extremely fast, even comparable to a speed-type Six Horizontal Bars Zombie. There were 20 such plants, named “Devouring Flower.”
The sixth type: a giant tree up to a hundred meters tall, capable of movement. Hundreds of massive branches attacked like flexible giant pythons, stronger than a Seven Horizontal Bars Zombie. Although its movement was slow, each tree had an attack range of 500 meters. There were only 5 such trees. They were named “Python Branch Giant Tree.”
After testing the abilities of these plants, Zuo Feng couldn’t help but feel a surge of ambition. As long as these plants were planted at Firefly Base, they would definitely form an indestructible defense line.
In the evening, the two returned to the tin-plate room. In the bathtub, her pretty face was flushed, her large, watery eyes blinking. Her Feng Ge was actually bathing with her. She felt both shy and excited. Steam rose, mist swirling. Feng Ge’s strong arm embraced her, and she felt an unprecedented sense of security, her heart pounding like a drum. Splashes of water reflected their intertwined figures, as if at this moment, all dangers and worries were shut out, leaving only their warm embrace.
