66 Level 2 Mutant Seed

When the destructive commotion finally ended, Long Yu stood up with difficulty.

*Pui*

He spat out the dust that somehow got into his mouth.

He also had to spend some time swatting at his clothes to remove the thick dust covering him.

Once he was done, Long Yu got out of his cover and eagerly examined the results of the battle.

Seeing that there was no more looming figure which stood a hundred metres tall, he sighed in relief.

'Ouch!' Long Yu winced when he felt a sharp pain coming from his body.

He then closed his eyes and communicated with the system.

'Well, that doesn't look too bad.' Long Yu thought to himself.

Compared to his armor covered limbs, his torso was obviously a lot more susceptible to injury during the battle.

Thanks to the ability of the nano-machine exoskeleton armor to absorb impact, he managed to come out relatively unscathed.

With a single thought, Long Yu willed the armor on his arms to disappear. In an instant, the armor dispersed into specks of silver nano-machines, which then receded back into his bones.

"Huuu…" he took a deep breath before using his right hand to skilfully relocate his dislocated left shoulder.

Doing so caused him to feel a brief agonising pain, but at least he could now move his left arm.

He was not worried about the other minor injuries in his body as they would quickly heal by themselves. This was thanks to the inhuman recovery ability he acquired when he got infected by the zombie previously.

Long Yu then re-equiped the nano-machine exoskeleton armor on his arms before heading towards the location of the vampire plant.

What awaited his sight, was the lower trunk of the plant still rooted to the ground, showing no movement whatsoever.

On the other hand, the upper body of the plant was now shrivelled up like a dead tree. Although its size was still gigantic, it was now only one third of its original size.

As for its appearance, the trunk's original red mahogany shade had withered into an ash white colour. Moreover, the blood red veins had turned dark with no signs of life either, which Long Yu couldn't be more happy about.

He was afraid that the vampire plant could regenerate even when separated from its power source. If that happened, it would have been troublesome for sure.

When Long arrived at the lower trunk, he could see the smoothly cut surface caused by the Space Splitter Mines. He could even clearly see the number of rings on the tree, which indicated its age.

True to its description, the set of mines managed to sever the vampire plant entirely. Even if it was made of metal, it would have been cut down all the same.

Regaining his senses, Long Yu hopped onto the trunk. His eyes shone with a blue glimmer as he activated the X-ray Contact Lenses that he prepared beforehand.

"It should be around here…. Found it!" Long Yu exclaimed with delight.

His heart fluttered with joy when he saw the mutant seed inside the trunk. It was safely nestled inside, just a few inches below his feet.

Idling no longer, Long Yu quickly got to work. He squatted down and pulled his arm backwards, with his fist aiming downwards.

*Bang*

With a devastating punch, he created a large crack on the surface of the trunk.

After giving it a few more controlled swings, he finally managed to deepen the crack.

Through the narrow gap, he caught a glimpse of a ruby tear drop shaped object. It was constantly shimmering with a warm red light like a beating heart. There were also thin red veins connecting the object to the interior of the trunk. This was the mutant seed that Long Yu risked his life for!

Without hesitation, he dug the fingers of both his hands into the crack. After straining his arms a little, he managed to widen the gap till it was large enough to fit a fist inside.

He then wrapped his hand around the mutant seed and tugged it with some strength.

*Tak* *Tak* * Tak*

The veins that were connected to the seed snapped like rubber bands.

Raising it to his face, Long Yu examined the mutant seed that was resting on his palm. Its structure was similar to a ruby coloured crystal. With the refraction from the sunlight, it gave the image that he was holding a precious jewel instead of a plant's seed.

[New currency detected: Level 2 Mutant Seed]

Ignoring the notification, Long Yu held it tightly in his hand and closed his eyes as if he was praying.

'It seems like a level 2 mutant core or seed won't do…' Long Yu shook his head in disappointment.

These items from the exchange system were clearly not ordinary. As for the reason Long Yu wanted to exchange for them, there was no need to explain.

Even after doomsday commenced, he had never lost focus of his goal, which was to revive his sister. It was just that had yet to obtain the desired currency for the system.

Based on the 'not available' description, it was safe to assume that a currency of high enough value has yet to appear.

'Does it have to be a level 3 core or seed…maybe even a level 5?' Long Yu shivered at the thought of it.

The mutated vampire plant which produced a level 2 mutant seed was already such a headache to deal with, let alone a mutated creature of the fifth level. Thankfully, such creatures have yet to come into existence. Otherwise, the remaining survivors in this world would definitely be in even more danger.

While Long Yu was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the pitter patter of a person's footstep. He turned around just to see Xixi running towards him with worry on her face.

"What are you doing here? I thought I told you to stay in the car," he lightly reprimanded her.

"But I saw big brother got hurt, so I was worried!" the little girl replied with a teary face.

Long Yu's expression turned gentle as he stroke her slightly messy bed hair. It felt nice to be cared about by someone. It reminded him that he was not alone in this world.

"Alright, just remember to be careful next time. Who knows what other monsters are lying around…" he said in a soft tone while surveying their surroundings.

"Uhh, Xixi?" Long Yu suddenly realised that the little lass was gone.

Just when he was about to call out her name again, he heard a familiar rustling sound.

Long Yu instantly reequipped the exoskeleton armor and got into a battle stance. For a moment, he thought the plant had come alive.

"Big brother, I found something! It smells really good!" a little head popped out from where the vampire plant's leaves were.

She held up a red object in both her palms while standing amidst the leaves of the fallen vampire plant.
