Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Testing the Herbicide
Not long after they set off, Alex and his group encountered mutant plants.

They were currently besieging a small team of survivors, rendering four or five of them powerless against the vines’ onslaught.

Seeing this scene, Alex nodded.

“Perfect timing to try out our special herbicide and see if it works.”

“If it doesn’t, we retreat.”

The three of them got out of the car and headed towards the mutant plants.

…

Nelson was having a stroke of bad luck, encountering mutant plants.

Encountering mutant plants now was like hitting the jackpot in a lottery.

One was lucky to the extreme, the other, unlucky to the core.

Nelson and his team had just endured an attack by mutant plants and didn’t have any Molotov cocktails on them. Moreover, they were all somewhat injured.

Their captain had even been pierced in the abdomen by a mutant plant and was currently gritting his teeth in agony.

But it was uncertain how much longer he could hold on.

With only four or five of them left and a few handguns, it wouldn’t be long before they met the same fate as their captain, pierced by mutant plants and turned into their nutrients!

The captain lying on the ground suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, seemingly at death’s door.

At that moment, three survivors approached them.

A man clad in silver armor, accompanied by two stunning women.

One exuded a gentle demeanor like water, while the other was as cold as a winter plum.

These three survivors brazenly approached, heading straight for the mutant plants.

What were they planning? Seeking death?!

Didn’t they know how terrifying mutant plants were?

If it weren’t for this invincible mutant plant, how could their captain have died?

Seeing these three unfamiliar survivors about to march to their deaths, Nelson couldn’t bear it and couldn’t help but shout, “Hey! Mutant plants are too dangerous! Don’t go there to die!”

The three halted their steps.

Nelson breathed a sigh of relief.

Seems like they still had some sense.

Then, Alex turned his head and looked over.

Without a word, he directly took out an Energy Pulse Sword.

Nelson’s heart skipped a beat.

How could he have such a weapon?

Wasn’t this something only seen in sci-fi movies?

Mia spoke up, “Alex, stay safe.”

Olivia also gave a slight smile.

“Go for it.”

Faced with the encouragement and concern of the two stunning women, Alex just nodded slightly.

Nelson felt inexplicably sour in his heart, tinged with jealousy.

But then, these negative emotions were immediately replaced by shock.

Damn it, why are you charging straight into the depths of the mutant plant’s roots?!

Did you just ignore what I said?

Nelson shouted, “Hey, don’t joke about your life just to look cool! Mutant plants are very dangerous! Come back quickly!”

Mia smiled and turned her head, saying, “You can rest assured, he won’t be afraid of this mutant plant.”

Nelson almost couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

What’s she talking about?

Is this beautiful lady enchanted by this man?

Mind you, even the strongest teams nowadays are helpless against mutant plants.

But soon, he was astonished, his mouth gaping open.

Alex suddenly accelerated.

The burst of speed was so instantaneous that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

Was this the speed survivors could achieve? Even though he had reached Level Ten himself, his speed was not this terrifying.

“Damn!”

The mutant plant’s vines lashed out suddenly, directly towards Alex.

Nelson couldn’t help but curse.

Their captain had been pierced in the abdomen by such a lash before.

Now, seeing the mutant plant employing the same tactic again, how could he not be shocked?

“Damn!”

Nelson cursed again.

This time, not because of the mutant plant, but because of Alex.

As the mutant plant’s vines lashed towards him, Alex directly grabbed the vines, using their momentum to close the distance.

How many battles would it take to develop such instinctive reflexes and emergency handling?

Just as he was about to rush to the roots of the mutant plant, it seemed to sense his intention, and the vines tightened, enveloping Alex.

The roots of the mutant plant were its vital point, with protection being its top priority.

Alex wielded the Energy Pulse Sword continuously, chopping off the mutant plant’s vines.

But it was futile; the vines quickly regenerated.

If the mutant plant didn’t die, Alex would be worn down alive!

Nelson sighed.

He had seen many survivors who were overly confident in their own abilities, underestimating the mutant creations of this post-apocalyptic world.

In the end, they lost their lives in vain.

But why were these two beautiful women so calm?

Looking at them, they seemed like partners, yet their expressions were so calm.

Could it be that even now, they still believed their partners could escape? They were truly optimistic…

Nelson smiled and shook his head.

At this moment, the mutant plant suddenly went berserk.

Nelson knew that the mutant plant was getting angry.

The vines entwined, obscuring the situation inside.

At this moment, their pressure eased a bit.

Seizing this opportunity, they could take the chance to leave.

Nelson said to Mia and Olivia, “You two should hurry and go!”

“Your companion, I’m afraid, I’m afraid he’s…”

Mia looked over, puzzled. “Afraid he’s what?”

After a few seconds of contemplation, Nelson spoke up, “He’s… damn!”

What did he see? Nelson swore, this was definitely more thrilling than watching a sci-fi movie.

“This is too fake…”

The scene before him was even more artificial than the fake white wine he used to drink in the old world.

The vines of the mutant plant began to visibly turn yellow, wither, and shrink.

Finally, they fell to the ground lifeless.

In just a short ten seconds, all the vines of the mutant plant had completely decayed.

As the mutant plant died, Alex, who had been surrounded by the vines, revealed himself.

Nelson was dumbfounded.

He didn’t die?

On the contrary, the mutant plant did? Didn’t several large teams explicitly say on the chat channel before that mutant plants had no chance of being killed? But what Nelson saw was the stark reality of the mutant plant’s death.

Even its roots had begun to rot!

At this moment, Alex walked towards him.

More accurately, towards his two companions.

Taking off his combat suit, he revealed a handsome face and a well-built figure.

Nelson couldn’t help but roll his eyes secretly.

He’s even more handsome than me…

After taking off his combat suit, Alex walked over to Mia and Olivia, smiling, and said, “The special herbicide is indeed remarkable. Just a drop on the roots of the mutant plant and it withers visibly.”

Mia was pleasantly surprised.

“That’s great, it seems we don’t have to fear mutant plants anymore.”

But Olivia frowned, pouring cold water on the excitement.

“However, getting close to the roots of the mutant plant is still too difficult. Alex can do it, but for us, it’s still quite challenging.”

To address this issue, Alex added, “Applying it to the vines is also effective, although it requires more special herbicide. But in critical moments, there’s no need to be stingy.”

Olivia suddenly realized.
