Chapter 682: Chapter 670: End of the World Dimension 58

They had initially planned to leave the next day, but Lin Hao wanted to prepare some things for his son. Knowing that the group acquired some seeds, he asked them to wait one more day.

Lin Hao gifted his son the newest weapons developed by their base, ensuring that he could protect himself even after exhausting his superpowers.

He gave Yan Mo a bagful of seeds, weighing about a pound in total. He explained to Yan Mo that due to the lack of time, he just grabbed all kinds of seeds he could lay his hands on and couldn’t arrange anything else. It was up to Yan Mo to sort the seeds.

Yan Mo and his team didn’t complain, and through systematic scanning, they quickly identified the seeds.

After preparations were done, they left the base at dawn.

Following the system’s navigation, they drove to the city Lin Jingyang had mentioned: M City.

The closer they got to M City, the denser the vegetation they saw, all tall and flourishing.

Had it not been for the existing data, they would have thought they were entering a primeval forest.

"We can’t continue driving from here. We will have to walk." Yan Mo parked the car as he noticed their path blocked by rocks, trees, and various other plants. He alerted the others.

[You’re approximately five hours away from the city. Gear up.] The system issued a prompt.

With no other recourse, they shouldered the backpacks they had prepared prior and got out of the car.

Xia Yue retrieved the car and then they started walking. The vegetation was dense, but thankfully they had Ziluo to help. Through the plants, Ziluo dispelled any hidden insects, snakes, or ants.

"Be careful. This area is teeming with danger." Ziluo warned the team based on the information she got from the plants.

Yan Mo and the team nodded. They trusted her words, not daring to risk their lives on uncalculated risks.

As they ventured deeper,they encountered more and more superpower beasts; their levels increasing progressively. Many resembled pets from the pre-apocalyptic era. To avoid inevitable fights and wasting their time, Mo Si scared off the beasts by emitting his aura.

After nearly six hours of perseverance, they finally arrived at the area where the exhibit had been held.

The buildings here were almost entirely overwhelmed by vegetation. High-rise buildings were clothed in greenery.

Upon arriving, they realised they were surrounded.

Regarding the various superpower beasts that encircled them, their eyes filled with savagery, as well as the massive birds hovering in the sky - as if fearing their escape - the group unconsciously swallowed hard.

There were at least over two hundred superpower beasts, mostly middle to high-level ones. A tough fight seemed inevitable.

Xia Yue, Xia Xi, Mo Si, Yan Mo, and Ziluo positioned themselves cautiously around Lin Jingyang, enclosing him in the middle for protection. Together with the system nestling in Lin Jingyang’s arms, they were ready to lend aid should he land into trouble.

"Roar"

"Caw"

"Hoot"

The highest-level superpower beasts were squawking, seemingly in discussion, as they observed Xia Yue’s group.

"System, what are they saying?" Xia Yue asked the system telepathically.

[They’re saying that a bunch of weaklings have arrived. Apart from Lin Jingyang who possesses a level two superpower, the rest of you don’t even have superpowers. They are debating how you got in here; it’s too strange.] The system provided her with the translation.

[Now, they’re deciding who gets to claim you.] The system continued.

"Can we communicate with them?" Xia Yue asked after a moment.

[You may try. Given the high levels of these superpower beasts, it would be better to avoid killing them if possible.

Besides, you’re here to acquire seeds, not to fight.] These arguing beasts might have what the system needed.

"You’ll act as the interpreter. We can’t understand their language, but you can." Xia Yue immediately instructed the system.

[It will cost you three thousand Cosmic Coins for translation on this plane.] The system quoted its price succinctphatically.

"You’re as good as a highway robber. That’s too expensive," Xia Yue complained upon hearing the price.

[Technically speaking, I’m not supposed to help you. But if you’re willing to spend, that’s a different story. What we’re conducting is a fair trade, which doesn’t infringe the rules.] The system thought its price was fair and reasonable, setting a standard benchmark.

[You need to decide quickly. They’re gearing up to attack.] The system urged her.

Seeing the agitated superpower beasts, Xia Yue gritted her teeth and accepted the deal reluctantly. As she saw her Cosmic Coins decrease by three thousand, she couldn’t help but wince.

Immediately after the transfer, the system leaped from Lin Jingyang’s arms and approached a group of leading superpower beasts.

"Kitten, don’t go." Seeing the system making its way towards the beasts, Lin Jingyang shouted nervously.

"Don’t worry, it’s heading there to negotiate," Xia Yue reassured him, pulling him back and silencing him. She wanted to see how the system would handle the situation.

Overhearing Xia Yue, Yan Mo looked over in surprise.

"I paid it to negotiate. We are here for seeds and there’s no need for us to fight them," Xia Yue explained to him.

Declaration />

She and the others nodded in agreement. If they could avoid a fight, then it was definitely preferable to do so.

With so many superpower beasts in front of them, even if they could win, the victory would be hard-fought and costly.

The system walked up to a few of the leading superpower beasts and spoke to them.

[Gentlemen, we do not want to fight with you. We heard about the plant and animal exhibiting event that happened in this city before the apocalypse. We believe it left behind many seeds and we want to gather some for our use.

We are willing to inconvenience you, and we can offer something in exchange.

We will leave promptly after we get the seeds, and we will not intentionally harm any superpower beasts.]

Who knew what the plant and animal exhibit was like but it even had tigers, lions, and eagles.

The tiger gazed at the kitten in front of it, listening to its words, gave a couple of roars in reply.

"Roar roar roar - human words are untrustworthy. If it were not for them, this place would not have turned into what it is today." The Tiger Beast retorted, its distaste for humans palpable.

The eagle chimed in, in disagreement as well. "Caw ~ Human words are too hollow. We should devour them. This territory belongs to us and we won’t allow them to intrude."

[We have the utmost sincerity. Our strength is greater than it appears on the surface.] The system spoke patiently.

It turned its head and motioned for Mo Si to release a bit of his aura so the beasts could sense it.

As instructed, Mo Si released some of his hidden aura. Animals are most sensitive to threats and danger.

Upon sensing Mo Si’s aura, some superpower beasts grew restless and anxious. They felt a sense of impending danger.

[Now you understand, right? We genuinely don’t want to be your enemies. Once we get the seeds, we will leave.] The system spoke again, addressing the leading beasts.

The leading superpower beasts certainly sensed it, and after a brief consultation..

"Roar roar roar - let us see what you have to offer. If it’s good enough, we might give you some leeway. But remember what you said earlier. As long as the other superpower beasts don’t attack you first, you cannot harm them either, or we won’t hesitate to fight to the death." The Tiger Beast let out a few roars, speaking to the system.
