This turn of events surprised Cao Yunjin. With her in their mercenary group, they would become the most powerful mercenary group in the base.
“One more request. You can’t announce my identity as a level-five superpowered person.” Su Shanshan did not say why, and Cao Yunjin did not ask. After the two of them agreed on a time and place to meet, he went to join the queue.
He left Wind Leopard behind. Of course, the main reason was that Wind Leopard refused to leave with him and stayed by Su Shanshan’s side. Seeing that she had no objections, Cao Yunjin left it behind.
$u Shanshan stood in the distance and watched Cao Yunjin and the others enter the base. She kept trying to guess the reason why she was chased out. Normally, any base would fight over a level-five person unless someone in the base did not want a high-level person to compete for resources.
This was the most plausible reason she could think of, so she ordered Cao Yunjin not to disclose her identity. She could only wait for an opportunity to enter the base. As long as she and Gu Jincheng could meet, the rest would be easy to handle.
At this moment, Su Shanshan, who was extremely confident, did not expect that the meeting she was looking forward to would be shattered.
Cao Yunjin and the rest slowly disappeared from her sight. Su Shanshan brought Wind Leopard to find a relatively clean house outside the base. She cleaned up the zombies and trash inside and prepared to live here temporarily.
The next morning, Su Shanshan brought Wind Leopard to the back of the base. Cao Yunjin was already waiting there with his men.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Su Shanshan. He quickly went up to her and said, “We accepted a B-grade mission this time. We are going to a place 2,000 meters away from the base to retrieve a plant core. After that, we will be given a month’s worth of residence rights.”
$u Shanshan nodded. “It’s just a small mission. Mercenary missions are divided into C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS grades. SSS grades are rare.”
Of course, the higher the level of the mission, the higher the risk factor and the more generous the reward.
$u Shanshan took out a car from her space. This action stunned Cao Yunjin and the others. They didn’t expect her to be a dual-powered person.
$u Shanshan did not explain. She waved to them to get into the car.
Cao Yifan sat self-consciously in the driver’s seat and drove quickly towards their destination.
They arrived at a forest. It was exceptionally green at first glance. It was abnormally green and there was a strangeness about it.
Su Shanshan got out of the car and suddenly thought of her extraterrestrial meteorite. She followed the method she knew in her previous life and took out the extraterrestrial meteorite. However, the plants did not react at all. Instead Wind Leopard beside her spun around excitedly and even wanted to
pounce on her.
She suddenly understood that this extraterrestrial meteorite was useful for mutant animals, while the one Dr. Zheng had was useful for mutant plants.
Cao Yunjin did not understand what she was doing. He stood behind her and looked at her curiously.
“Alright, let’s go in. Do we take just any mutant plant?” Su Shanshan put away the extraterrestrial meteorite and asked.
Cao Yunjin opened the mission manual given to him by the base. It recorded a type of plant. He pointed at it and said, “Let’s look for this one.”
Su Shanshan gave two looks and led the way inside. The rest of the group quickly followed.
After they got close, the mutant plants did not do anything. Cao Yunjin had been introduced to people in the base, so he said directly, “The mutant plants in the peripheral area don’t have any attack power, but the plants there are carnivorous.”
Su Shanshan nodded. When she walked in, the greenish hue before her eyes gradually tuned red. The roots of the plants inside were red. She could even see the red fluid flowing inside them.
There was a rustling sound. With her previous experience fighting with vines, Su Shanshan quickly swung the ice blade in her hand in the direction of the sound. She fixed the thing on the ground before seeing that it was a tree root. Then she cut the root in half with her Tang sword.
Blood was flowing out from the part of the tree root that was cut. Su Shanshan narrowed her eyes. It seemed that this thing had eaten human flesh and drunk human blood.
Cao Yunjin quickly said, “Sister Su, this is what we’re looking for.”
$u Shanshan did not mind his calling her’ sister.’ She quickly chased after the root that had already run far away. Cao Yunjin and the rest followed. After taking two steps, the root seemed to have sensed danger and a large number of them came from all directions to stop them..
