Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 402 Little Stone and Little Ginseng

Perhaps the captain's words were too apt, causing the burly man to overthink things. Even if the other party was after supplies, the fact that he bravely rushed out at this moment, unafraid of death, was itself a moving act.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and his movements became even more ruthless.

"Brothers, we're all unlucky and injured. We might turn into zombies. Let us do something good before we die. We'll cover you, you guys hurry up and grab your stuff and leave!"

There were too many zombies for their two teams to fight off, but escaping was definitely an option. The newly transformed zombies were slow; most people could outrun them.

Their ferocious appearance is so intimidating that many people don't have the courage to come out.

That was exactly what the captain wanted to hear. He feigned being moved and wiped away a tear: "...Thank you!"

He spoke those two words with such weight.

The other party naturally appeared moved as well, but the burly man didn't notice that, apart from the captain's sorrowful expression, the other team members all wore cold expressions. Even Little Ginseng had a blank face; in reality, he simply didn't understand the situation.

Even if he takes human form, it will still take him a long time to understand the interactions between humans.

Having traveled through many worlds, Yu Liu gradually came to understand many things. For example, in the current situation, it was clear that the captain wanted to use the other party, but the other party foolishly fell for it.

The captain concealed his grief, and a high temperature rose between his hands. Two fireballs, about the size of basketballs, slowly took shape in his hands, radiating scorching heat.

The color gradually changed from golden yellow to red, and then to deep red, clearly containing enormous energy.

There were too many zombies in front of the supermarket, and they were clustered together. This was the perfect opportunity to use area-of-effect abilities, which could not only blow up more zombies but also clear a path. As for the burly man and others mixed in with the zombie horde, the captain believed they would hide.

After all, nobody wants to die before they are dead.

As the fireball released more and more energy, the expressions on the faces of the other members of the team became noticeably more worshipful, especially the only girl in the team, whose expression could almost be described as fanatical.

this way...

The little ginseng was clearly drawn to the girl's expression.

They look a lot like those people I've seen before...

Something moved in his heart.

Carrying Yu Liu on his back, he slowly approached the girl.

"Hey."

He freed one hand and carefully poked the other person.

The other person's fervent expression froze, and they frowned with impatience, their expression turning disgusted: "What?"

His tone was also very unpleasant.

The little ginseng didn't know what he had done to offend her, but his doubts were more important. He leaned closer and whispered, "Do you really admire him and like him a lot?"

He pointed to the captain, who was preparing a powerful move.

The moment her captain was mentioned, the girl's expression changed immediately. Two red clouds rose to her cheeks, and she clasped her hands together, saying shyly, "Of course, the captain is so amazing, no girl would dislike him."

At this point, she glanced rather hostilely at the jade willow that the little ginseng was carrying on her back.

Noticing the hostility in her eyes, Little Ginseng, carrying Jade Willow on her back, avoided her gaze and became wary of her.

"What are you looking at? Stone would never like him, she can only like me!"

The little ginseng's expression of "like" was different from the girl's. The girl didn't notice the difference and gave them a meaningful look: "So you two are a couple."

That way she can rest assured.

"But your girlfriend's name is Stone? Who came up with that name? It's so awful!"

Upon hearing this, the little ginseng immediately became unhappy: "I named it, so what? You have a problem with that?!"

He held his head high, looking proud.

The others who were listening to their conversation were amused by him, and Wang Qing made no attempt to hide his laughter.

Little Ginseng didn't know what was wrong. He didn't want to talk to this group, but he still hadn't figured out his own problem, so he moved closer to the girl and asked, "Then why do you admire him? And them, I see you all seem to admire him a lot, like... like he's one of those celebrities on TV!"

The little ginseng thought about it carefully and finally remembered. The person he met back then seemed to be one of those celebrities on TV. Because he was a celebrity, many people treated him with utmost respect, and many, many people liked him and obeyed his every command.

The girl was amused by the description of the little ginseng: "Our captain isn't like those celebrities on TV. This is the apocalypse, and those celebrities are all useless. Our captain is much stronger than them. As for why we admire him, didn't you see? Our captain has awakened a superpower, and it's a fire-based superpower! He's super powerful!!"

As she spoke, a fervent look returned to the girl's face.

Her words made the little ginseng ponder for a moment.

Yu Liu didn't know why the little ginseng was asking these questions. Since transforming into human form, she could now remain conscious for extended periods. Poking the little ginseng, Yu Liu asked curiously, "Why are you asking these questions?"

"Hmm..." The little ginseng's eyes reflected the image of the captain standing in front, his hands burning with fireballs. "Stone, do you think we would be better off if I became like him?"

This question left Yu Liu speechless for a moment.

Since she was injured protecting the little ginseng a few months ago, the other party seems to have changed.

She has been in this world for about half a year, and the stone she possesses cannot become a spirit on its own. It is only because of her arrival that it has become a demon.

The little ginseng became a spirit around the same time as her. The other ginseng grew under a rock, severely compressed by the rock, but it was also very old. A few months ago, a ginseng harvester came up the mountain to harvest ginseng. When he sat down to rest because he was tired, he discovered the ginseng hidden under the rock. It was only a few small leaves that had been compressed, but it was a ginseng that was a hundred years old.

A century-old ginseng, and a wild one at that, can fetch a good price on the market. Naturally, the ginseng harvester didn't want to miss out on such a fortune. However, a large rock was pressing down on the ginseng, and no matter what he did, it wouldn't budge.

If the stone is pressing down, you can't dig out the ginseng.

The ginseng gatherer eventually gave up, but in his anger as he left, he picked up his shovel and struck the stone.

With that one powerful thrust, and considering the stone had been exposed to wind and rain and its surface was already extremely fragile, this single blow actually cracked the stone in two.

Yu Liu's soul attached itself to the smaller half, continuing to suppress the ginseng. However, since half of her original body had been cut off, she was also greatly affected.

Little Ginseng saw all of this. After that, he changed somewhat, and sometimes he even swore to Yu Liu that he would definitely protect her in the future.

Yu Liu couldn't bear to refuse, so she said ambiguously, "I think so."

After all, it's the apocalypse, where strength reigns supreme. Little Ginseng's strength has been proven, and he's definitely much stronger than that fire-type ability user. It's certain that he'll be worshipped and even revered by others. However, in this apocalypse, a world where the so-called order has been disrupted, standing out might not be a good thing.

"Never mind," Yu Liu thought. "Standing out for others isn't a good thing for Little Ginseng, but it might have some effect on the wish she wants to fulfill."

Realizing the wickedness of human nature, Little Ginseng was able to calm down. Then she could persuade her again. After all, he was the incarnation of A-Ning, so he should listen to her. If possible, her wish would have a chance to be fulfilled.

Since her wish from the last world failed, Yu Liu didn't want to repeat the same mistake in this world.

In the previous world, although Yu Liu was not captured, she died prematurely. As an important figure, her death would definitely cause chaos, not to mention that Tang Shuai had turned evil.

As expected, the wish failed.

"In that case, I want to become like him!"

Having received Yu Liu's "encouragement," the little ginseng was full of fighting spirit.

The other team members, especially Wang Qing, laughed mockingly when they heard his words.

"Hey, little green-haired guy, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Hey Wang Qing, what kind of random suggestions did you come up with? How did you end up bringing in an idiot?!"

"What idiot? He's obviously got something wrong with his head, but he's pleasing to the eye, and the captain likes him too, right?"

They whispered amongst themselves, oblivious to everyone else.

The captain, a superhuman with an evolved physique, keenly caught their words and noticed the displeasure flashing in his eyes. He, the captain, was charging into battle while his teammates laughed and joked behind him; anyone who saw this would feel uneasy.

"Shut up, everyone!"

He shouted sharply to those behind him, "Get ready to kill zombies! Whoever kills the fewest today won't get any food!"

One sentence ignited everyone's fighting spirit. In the apocalypse, food is the most precious thing, and no one who wants to survive wants to go hungry.

Little Ginseng didn't understand why killing zombies was associated with eating, but that didn't stop him from wanting to show off.

After the captain threw out two fireballs that blew up a group of zombies, Little Ginseng quickly tossed a few seeds into the sky.

Those were seeds of the man-eating vine, which he collected specifically after realizing he could control plants. He felt the vines were very useful and could do many things, and since he wasn't sure if man-eating vines existed outside, he collected them just in case.

This is exactly what we need!

Seeing him throw a few small objects into the horde of zombies, the captain immediately became displeased. "What did you throw?"

The zombies have only just appeared, and no one has figured out their habits yet. Who knows if what they throw might cause some unexpected problems!

With so many zombies here, you can't afford the slightest mishap if you want to get any supplies.

The little ginseng didn't bother to answer him. Soon he would be on equal footing with the other party, so naturally he didn't need to care about the other party's attitude. He reached out to the seeds of the man-eating vine, and the seeds quickly sprouted, took root in the ground, and grew.

In an instant, the menacing vines appeared wildly among the zombie horde, their sharp tips piercing the zombies' heads and frantically sucking out their nutrients.

With more nutrients, more vines will split off, and in just a few seconds, all the zombies will be devoured by the frenzied man-eating vines.

The ground was littered with corpses.

The remaining two or three hundred zombies in this small area were dealt with simply.

Simply incredible.

Everyone was stunned by this unexpected turn of events.

They stared at the little ginseng in disbelief, as if it were a monster.

Especially that fire-type ability user, who himself had evolved an ability, so he clearly understood the physical attributes of ability users. Back in the car, when Wang Qing gave him advice, the other person likely heard every word. If the other person were to investigate, then he…

He felt a wave of fear wash over him, and a sense of dread washed over him.

He was even more afraid of Wang Qing.

He simply couldn't believe that this person, dressed entirely in green from head to toe, was actually a powerful wood-type ability user. No wonder the other person was covered in green.

Knowing that the other party was a wood-type ability user, his head-to-toe green outfit didn't seem so hard to accept anymore.

Everyone's gaze was once again filled with admiration, this time not for the fire-elemental captain, but for the little ginseng.

Even Yu Liu attracted a lot of envy and jealousy.

After all, in a post-apocalyptic world, having a powerful superhuman taking meticulous care of you is something to be envied in itself.

Especially the girl in the group, whose gaze toward the ginseng had become fiery, which displeased Yu Liu.

The zombies had all been dealt with, and the crisis was over. The burly man and his group breathed a sigh of relief, helping each other to sit down on the ground. After relaxing, their wounds made them dizzy. They no longer had the strength to bandage their wounds and could only quietly wait for death to come.

Having rendered them useless, the captain naturally changed his demeanor. He calmly walked past them, leading the rest of his team into the supermarket.

His completely different attitude from before made these burly men understand something. They said nothing. Now it was the end of the world, and strength was paramount. There was such a powerful person in the other side's team, so what was the point of saying anything?

Little Ginseng felt a little smug from the admiring looks he received from the others, but he didn't try to take the captain's position. Instead, he walked unsteadily to the back of the group.

As Yu Liu passed by the burly men, she brought her head close to the little ginseng's ear, her breath spraying onto his earlobe, causing him to blush instantly.

Let's help them.

This group of people all seem to be loyal and righteous, but the team they are currently in has quite a few scumbags hidden inside.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you!!"

The little ginseng nodded vigorously; at times like this, whatever the stone said was the truth.

"Then how can we help?"

With a hint of heartache, Yu Liu plucked a hair from the little ginseng.

"Letting them eat a hair might have some effect."

It's a ginseng that has become sentient, so it's very nourishing.
