115: Chapter 115 Marching into the Qinling Mountains! S-Class Forbidden Zone? We're Here for Tourism!

Since he had decided to go global for supplies, Su Yang, being a man of swift and decisive action, immediately began his pre-departure preparations.

"This trip to the Qinling Mountains is a long journey, and it's deep in the mountains and old forests, so the conditions will be tough."

Su Yang stood in the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over the women who were looking at him expectantly.

"Therefore, not only do you need to be able to fight, but you also need to be durable."

"Chu Ling, Mary, you two are coming with me."

"Yay!"

Chu Ling and Mary high-fived.

A Zombie and a Vampire—one with skin as tough as copper and bones of iron, the other with an undying body—were indeed the perfect combination of a tank and an assassin.

"Su Qingcheng, you're coming too."

Su Yang looked at the Red-Clothed Female Ghost floating in the air.

"The Qinling Mountains have heavy Yin Qi, which is perfect for your abilities, and I need a personal... ahem, a personal bodyguard to serve tea and pour water."

"Yes, Master." Su Qingcheng bowed slightly, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

"As for Yingxue..."

Su Yang looked at the gentle white-clad female ghost.

"The house cannot be left unguarded. Although we have Big Black to watch the door, it is a plant after all, and its brain isn't very sharp."

"You stay behind, cooperate with Big Black to guard this Spiritual Plant field, and by the way, protect Yuqing and the others well."

"Yingxue will obey." Although Jiang Yingxue felt a bit disappointed, she still nodded obediently.

"What about us? Boss, can we go?"

Reba and Liu Waner raised their hands with anticipation.

"You two?"

Su Yang looked at these two delicate and pampered young ladies and the big celebrity.

"You two just stay home, farm, livestream, and count money."

"In those desolate mountains, there's no Wi-Fi, no takeout, and not even a bathroom. Can you handle that?"

"Ah... no Wi-Fi..."

The internet-addicted girl Reba instantly deflated.

"Alright, Yuqing, book the tickets."

Su Yang waved his hand.

"First class! No, charter a plane!"

"We have money now, so we shouldn't mistreat ourselves when we're out and about, especially not our Divine Beast."

He patted Rice Bucket, who was gnawing on a piece of jade on his shoulder.

"This guy's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and ordinary planes probably won't let us bring it."

"Understood! I'll arrange it right away!"

Ye Yuqing had completely adapted to her role as a wealthy housekeeper by now.

She made a phone call, and within half an hour, a private business jet flying directly from Jiangzhou to the vicinity of the Qinling Mountains was already on standby at the airport.

...

3:00 PM.

The northern foothills of the Qinling Mountains, a temporary airport designated as a military restricted zone.

A luxurious Gulfstream G650 slowly landed.

The cabin door opened, and Su Yang, wearing sunglasses and a casual sportswear outfit, stepped out, followed by Chu Ling holding a bag of snacks, Mary holding a parasol, and Su Qingcheng in a red dress with a cold and glamorous Aura.

The style of this group looked completely out of place compared to the heavily armed and solemn-faced soldiers and special agents around them.

"This... this is the ace Consultant Su sent by headquarters?"

On the tarmac, a middle-aged officer in camouflage with a firm face, who was in charge of receiving them, frowned.

His name was Lei Zhan, the leader of the action team for the 749 Bureau's Northwest Branch, and also the commander-in-chief of the Qinling blockade line this time.

Looking at Su Yang's laid-back appearance, as if he were here on vacation, the disappointment in Lei Zhan's eyes was undisguised.

"Is Elder Zhang senile? An S+ level restricted zone, and he sends a rich kid here to gain some prestige?"

"Captain, don't talk nonsense. I heard this guy did some big things in Jiangzhou." The adjutant next to him whispered a reminder.

"Big things? Hmph, I think it's just hype."

Lei Zhan snorted coldly, though dissatisfied, he still walked up.

"Consultant Su, I am Lei Zhan."

He didn't salute, just stiffly extended his hand.

"Welcome to Hell."

"Hell?"

Su Yang took off his sunglasses and glanced at the Qinling mountain range in the distance, shrouded in clouds and mist, as if covered by a green barrier.

"The air is quite fresh, much better than Jiangzhou."

He didn't shake Lei Zhan's hand, but instead turned around and pulled a bag of potato chips out of Chu Ling's snack bag.

"Captain Lei, right? Is the car ready? I'm in a hurry."

The ignored Lei Zhan had veins bulging on his forehead.

Arrogant!

Too arrogant!

He suppressed his anger and pointed to a jeep parked nearby.

"Get in the car! But I'll say it upfront: once you enter the blockade zone, you're responsible for your own life! Don't expect my brothers to act as your babysitters!"

"Don't worry."

Su Yang jumped into the car and pulled back Rice Bucket, who was gnawing on the seat cover.

"If we really encounter danger, just don't hold me back."

...

The convoy drove out of the airport, following a simple road that had just been cleared, heading deep into the Qinling Mountains.

The further they went, the more bizarre the surrounding scenery became.

The trees that should have been lush and green were now showing a sickly dark green color.

The trunks were extremely thick, and some even had patterns on the bark that looked like human faces.

The wild grass on the side of the road had also grown to over two meters tall, with sharp serrations on the edges of the leaves, making a "rustling" metallic friction sound in the wind.

"Is this a side effect of the recovery of Spiritual Qi?"

Su Yang sat in the car, looking at the strange phenomenon outside the window, lost in thought.

That legendary [wood spirit pearl] should be in the deepest part of this mountain range.

The massive amount of wood-elemental Spiritual Qi it emitted had catalyzed the plants within a hundred miles, causing them to undergo some kind of atavistic mutation.

"This is just the outer perimeter."

Lei Zhan, who was driving, said coldly.

"Ten kilometers further in, that's the real restricted zone."

"The plants there not only move, but they also eat people!"

"As soon as our drones fly in, they get entangled by vines and pulled down."

"And those mutated wild beasts... even a rabbit can bite through steel bars now."

"Oh? That powerful?"

Su Yang raised an eyebrow, not only was he not afraid, but he became even more excited.

Plant mutation?

Doesn't that mean that there are unclaimed Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine everywhere here?

I was just worrying that I didn't have enough to plant in my Spiritual Plant field at home!

"Screech—!!"

Just then, the convoy suddenly slammed on the brakes.

"What's going on?!" Lei Zhan roared into the walkie-talkie.

"Report, Captain! In front... there's something blocking the road!"

The panicked voice of the driver of the lead car came through the walkie-talkie.

"It's a... wild boar! But... this is too big, right?!"

Su Yang pushed the door open and got out.

I saw a black wild boar as big as an elephant blocking the narrow mountain road ahead!

Its mane stood up like steel needles, and its two tusks were over a meter long, curved like blades, flashing with cold light.

Those blood-red eyes stared fixedly at the convoy, and white hot air sprayed from its mouth.

"Is this a mutated wild beast?"

Mary poked her head out from behind, her eyes lighting up.

"This blood must be very nourishing!"

"All personnel, be on alert! Prepare for battle!"

Lei Zhan pulled out his handgun immediately, while directing the soldiers around him to set up machine guns.

"This pig has thick skin and flesh, ordinary bullets can't penetrate it at all! Use armor-piercing rounds!"

"Roar—!!"

The mutated wild boar didn't give them time to prepare, letting out a deafening roar, its four hooves exerting force, charging towards the convoy like an out-of-control tank with the Aura of shaking the earth and mountains!

"Fire!!"

Da da da da da—!

Dense bullets hit the wild boar, but they only sparked a series of flames, not even breaking its skin, which only enraged it further.

Seeing that the huge tusks were about to hit the lead vehicle.

"What a hassle."

Su Yang sighed and patted Chu Ling on the shoulder.

"Go, throw it aside, don't block the road."

"Alright!"

Chu Ling threw away the potato chip bag in her hand, flashed, and disappeared from the spot instantly.

The next second.

That seemingly petite and delicate beauty appeared abruptly in front of the rampaging giant wild boar.

In front of the huge wild boar, she looked as tiny as a ragdoll.

"Little sister, hurry and dodge!" Lei Zhan was shocked and wanted to rush over to save her, but it was too late.

However.

Chu Ling didn't dodge.

She just stretched out a fair little hand and pressed it against the wild boar's thick tusk.

"Stop."

Boom!!!

A muffled sound.

Time seemed to stand still.

The wild boar that was charging with ten thousand catties of force actually stopped dead in its tracks!

Its hind hooves plowed two deep trenches into the ground, but its head didn't move an inch, held down by Chu Ling with one hand, unable to advance even a fraction!

"This... how is this possible?!"

Lei Zhan and all the soldiers were stunned, their jaws dropping to the ground.

Stopping a mutated wild boar with one hand?

Is this even human?!

"Too noisy."

Chu Ling frowned, clenched her other hand into a fist, and tapped the wild boar on the forehead lightly.

"Go away!"

Bang!

The several-ton mutated wild boar was actually knocked flying like a ball by her punch, drawing a perfect parabola in the air, and landed in a mountain ditch dozens of meters away, making a "boom" sound, and then there was no movement.

Chu Ling clapped her hands, walked back as if nothing had happened, and picked up the potato chip bag on the ground.

"Boss, there are no more chips, I want to eat that wild boar jerky."

Silence filled the scene.

Su Yang looked at the petrified Lei Zhan and smiled.

"Captain Lei, let's continue on our way."

"I said, we're in a hurry."
