Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Muchen looked at the scene in front of him with some surprise, and deliberately zoomed the camera in a little closer. Only then did he realize that the demon's skin had turned black, with only two black eyes left under the skin. It was obvious that something had sucked the flesh and blood from his body in a short period of time.

Because the scene was too weird, Muchen even felt a shudder running through his body.

So Muchen decided to let the drone continue to fly forward for a distance, guessing in his heart that this demon species might have been swallowed by other mutant beasts. After all, the demon species in the danger zone may not be the most terrifying existence.

The people watching the live broadcast in front of the TV screen were also frightened by the scene. It seemed that the hunting during this period was too peaceful. No matter whether it was a low-level psychic or an occasional high-level psychic, when hunting mutant beasts, the basic method of attack was to use their own superpowers with the assistance of weapons, the most common of which were knives and guns.

Experienced hunters will use a dagger or machete to slit the throat of their prey, or shoot directly at the fatal part with a bullet.

Currently, the video with the highest number of broadcasts and click-through rates on the base forum is still the moment when "Light Chaser" Shen Lian killed the Bat Queen. Unfortunately, Shen Lian later entered the "forbidden zone" directly. Since he is an S-level mutant, he can enter easily, but the drone has no way to stop him. Not long after entering the restricted zone, he felt the video screen shaking, followed by a screen flicker, until a loud roar, it was obvious that the drone was attacked by some kind of animal or plant and crashed.

The second most viewed video was a video of a mercenary team working together to repel a giant mutated locust tree. The locust tree was at least twenty meters tall, with a trunk as thick as seven or eight meters, and other branches floating in the air to form long whips.

So someone immediately mentioned in the barrage that this might be an A-level mutant plant, which already has independent consciousness and extremely strong attack power.

Generally speaking, mutant plants above level A are rarely seen even in restricted areas. Most of the mutant plants in the restricted area are level BA. However, not all plants will exhibit aggressive behavior. According to the results of in-depth investigations by the guards and scientific researchers, the aggressive behavior of plants in the restricted area is induced by white fog. That is, the thicker the white fog, the more aggressive the plants and animals in the area will be.

Moreover, the restricted area has one biggest feature: any mutant plant above level A in the restricted area will contain a special substance. This substance can be used to develop advanced "recovery agents" and can also be used to assist in improving the level of supernatural powers.

However, since only a few people have the strength to enter the restricted area, it is unlikely to encounter high-level mutant plants under normal circumstances.

But now it is obvious that this group of mercenaries are not very lucky, at least they encountered an A-level mutant plant at the very beginning. They really don't know whether to cry or laugh. If they can successfully subdue this mutant locust tree, the special substances inside will be worth at least tens of thousands of points. Even the locust tree itself can be made into exquisite furniture. Research has found that mutant plants above A-level also have the advantages of moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant. The furniture made from them is not easily corroded even under acid rain.

However, this mercenary team has only twelve people, and only half of them have superpowers. The highest-level ones are the two B-level superpowers in the lead. The others without superpowers can only be suppressed by bullets, but the surface of the mutant plants is hard, and half of the bullets cannot effectively damage them.

The fierce battle with this mutated locust tree has been going on for almost an hour. Two people have been seriously injured, and the rest are gradually losing their strength.

The captain of the mercenary team gritted his teeth and shouted, "Retreat, retreat to the northwest immediately!"

In fact, this decision is correct. If we continue to waste time, the losses will only be more serious.

The drone was thirty meters away and zoomed in to broadcast the action live, so everyone on the screen could clearly see how brutal the battle was.

When the team members heard the captain's order, they immediately turned around and fought and retreated at the same time, until they retreated fifty meters away. Finally, the huge locust tree branch slowly retracted its whip-like branches and stopped chasing them.

"Bah! What bad luck! How come we run into this weird thing?"

One of the team members was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, as if he was still frightened by the scene just now.

The other two team members were taking out first aid kits from their backpacks to stop the bleeding and bandage the seriously injured team members. The injured one was pierced directly through the left shoulder by a branch of the mutant locust tree, leaving a bloody hole, staining the entire shoulder red.

The other person was even more miserable. His entire right hand was cut off and he had already fainted.

These two team members were not psychics, so they were unable to use their psychics to sense threats during the fierce battle just now. When the branches of the locust tree hit them, they had no chance to dodge at all.

If the team leader had not issued the order to retreat, I'm afraid these two team members would have died in this forest.

The team leader took a sip of water and frowned, "Don't take it lightly. This is a dangerous area after all. I'm afraid that besides the mutant locust tree just now, there are other advanced mutant beasts."

A young team member asked nervously, "I remember that there are generally no mutant plants above level B in the danger zone. How come there is an A-level mutant locust tree this time?"

This question suddenly made everyone fall silent, because this change seemed to remind them that if they continued to stay in the danger zone, they would encounter more emergencies. The entire danger zone seemed to have undergone some changes, and the appearance of Class A mutant plants seemed to be just a warning.

The captain hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind. He said solemnly: "Let's take a short break and return to the safe zone before tonight."

"Captain..." Some members of the psychic team were surprised by this decision. After all, they had finally come here, and if they turned back, it would probably affect their personal scores.

"If a team member is worried about not being able to advance smoothly, he can leave on his own. After all, the hunting competition is ultimately an individual battle. We cannot affect individual performance just because we are a small team. But I cannot abandon the injured team member. I will send him to the safe area and wait for the rescue team from the base to arrive before re-entering the danger zone. I will not force any of you to follow me. You can make your own choice."

After he finished speaking, about three psychics chose to leave. They believed that they should not give up easily since they had come this far. The rest were determined to retreat to the safe zone. After all, they did not want to lose their lives here.

***

It is the fifth day of the hunting competition. The competition has entered the first stage of white-hot competition. At least half of the participants have withdrawn from the competition for various reasons. Currently, there are less than two hundred people left.
