The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

They arrived at the back of the office building, in a relatively open abandoned parking lot area.

The view here is expansive, with several partially sunken car wrecks and broken concrete pillars in the distance, making it a perfect test target.

"How do we activate it? It can't possibly understand what you're saying, can it?" Professor Ye looked at the squirting melon in Han Ning's arms with great curiosity.

"Uh... I don't know either."

Han Ning scratched his head, patted the little squirrel's "sponge head," and tentatively asked, "Show me your abilities?"

"Gurgle..." The squirting melon was clearly not that intelligent, and remained motionless.

"Try stimulating different parts," Professor Ye suggested, "Perhaps it has some sensitive areas. A slight touch or a firm touch might trigger a stress response, thus revealing its abilities."

"That makes sense," Han Ning agreed.

The two began to carefully touch and press different parts of the squirting melon with their fingers.

Han Ning first tried gently pressing the thick part below the fruit that connects to the main stem.

Chapter 124 The effect is amazing

After some research, Han Ning pressed on the petiole of the squirting cucumber.

A condensed, almost tangible, deep blue high-pressure water jet, as thick as an arm, shot out from the top of the fruit.

It moved so fast that it left only a blinding blue afterimage on the retina.

boom!

Twenty meters away, the car's hood looked as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

Accompanied by the dull thud of a heavy object falling.

The powerful impact even lifted the entire hood, twisting and deforming it.

Water mixed with engine oil, and various parts fragments sprayed out from the rupture, raising a large cloud of water mist.

The car wreckage shook violently before crashing into the floodwater.

Its destructive power is comparable to that of a sniper rifle.

"Let's see where your limits are."

Han Ning continued to manipulate the vines, pressing them down several times.

"Gululu~"

The squirting cucumber fruit flashed rapidly.

call out!call out!call out!

Three slightly thinner blue water jets shot out from the fruit in quick succession, less than half a second apart.

puff!puff!puff!

The first shot hit the center of the concrete pillar precisely, blasting open a dent the size of a washbasin, sending debris flying everywhere.

The second shot hit the side, creating another large hole.

The third shot followed immediately, penetrating the relatively weak area at the edge.

A large amount of dust and gravel fell from the cement pillar.

After firing ten powerful water jets in succession, the squirting melon became noticeably weaker.

The leaves drooped, and the fruit was even dimmer, as if it had exhausted all its energy.

"It seems like I've overdrawn my budget."

Han Ning stepped forward, carefully observing the plant's condition. A soft, natural blessing light emanated from his fingertips as he gently covered it.

"It's only just begun to bear fruit, yet it already possesses such destructive power, which is quite astonishing," Professor Ye exclaimed. "If it grows any larger, its power will be even greater."

Han Ning wholeheartedly agreed.

He estimated that the power of each water arrow fired by the Little Squirrel was close to that of a full-force attack from an elite Black Serpent Monster, equivalent to the level of a level 4-5 Awakened.

"Let's call you Water Arrow Spurting Melon." Han Ning touched its fruit, and then together with Professor Ye, they collected a lot of seeds from the water arrows sprayed out by the Water Arrow Spurting Melon and put them into a container they carried with them.

After testing the newly mutated squirting cucumber, the two returned to the lab to continue observing the changes in the remaining squirting cucumber plants.

His expression shifted when his gaze swept over the squirting cucumber on the far left.

I remember when he left, this squirting cucumber was only slightly larger than the others.

And now, a round fruit, several times larger than a regular squirting cucumber, hangs quietly on the branch.

"Huh? This plant..." Han Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately went forward to examine it.

He carefully extended his finger and gently touched the plump fruit.

It has a bouncy texture, like pressing on a piece of jelly.

The surface of the fruit seemed to be surrounded by an extremely faint halo.

"Another new mutant?" Professor Ye's eyes lit up.

"Try the method you just used."

Han Ning took the squirting cucumber to a secluded place.

In front of it, several desks were piled up.

Then, following the same method, touch the fat squirting melon.

hum~

Han Ning pressed down on the bottom of the plump squirting cucumber fruit.

The plant trembled slightly.

The surface of the fruit shimmered with light, as if it were accumulating something.

A pale blue liquid began to seep from the surface of the plump squirting cucumber.

This liquid was not as sharp as a water jet; instead, it appeared peaceful and gentle.

"Is there something wrong with the liquid?"

Han Ning felt the refreshing liquid, dipped his finger in it, and gently touched it with his fingertip.

"Um?!"

Current spiritual power: 57/100

On the panel, the value 57 became blurry.

Han Ning continued to apply a little more liquid.

The value of 57 is further blurred.

At the same time, there was a cool power in my palm.

After a while, the spiritual power value finally jumped from 57 to 58.

"So it has the effect of restoring spiritual power!" Han Ning suddenly realized.

"It seems to be a kind of auxiliary squirting melon."

Next, Han Ning and Professor Ye repeatedly tested the abilities of this plump squirting cucumber.

It was discovered that the liquid it sprayed could not only restore the energy of the awakened, but also accelerate the healing of wounds, making it quite useful.

This plump squirting cucumber was named "Healing Squirting Cucumber" by Han Ning.

Chapter 125 Ambush

West of Biyun Resort lies a scene of ruins.

Old Xie put down his blood-stained iron axe, panting heavily, and said:

"Thanks to Xiaoyu's reconnaissance, we had a good harvest today. These black snake monsters are much larger than other black snakes, and they provided enough energy. I feel that my strength has increased a bit."

"Well done, Xiaoyu. You've improved your skills after following Mr. Han for a few days." His companion patted Xiaoyu on the shoulder and praised him.

"Hehe, not at all." Xiaoyu scratched her head shyly after being praised by everyone.

Han Ning did not organize a hunting trip today, so Xiao Yu went hunting with Vice President Xie's team.

He was fast and was responsible for gathering information about the surrounding monsters and helping his teammates locate them.

The group had just finished a small-scale hunt and were returning along the ruins of a half-submerged commercial street.

The water level here has risen again compared to a few days ago, and a lot of garbage is floating on the surface.

"Old Xie, talk to the chairman later and ask him to extend the hunting time next time. It's not even dark yet and we have to go back." A younger team member glanced at the sky, looking somewhat reluctant to leave.

“President Wu is just being cautious. You have to understand that risks and opportunities go hand in hand.” Old Xie shook his head, disagreeing with his companion’s idea.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a shrill wail suddenly came from another side road not far ahead.

"what!"

The sound was heart-wrenching and filled with pain, sounding particularly jarring against the monotonous sound of rain.

"The voice sounds familiar, could it be someone from the association?" one person frowned.

"Quick, let's go check it out!" Old Xie made a decisive move, picked up his iron axe, and ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

Three team members immediately followed.

They followed the sound and rushed into an alleyway lined with rubble on both sides.

Deep within the alley, on a slightly wider stretch of water, floats a twisted, warped wooden door, upon which lies a figure crouching.

His abdomen was pierced by a rusty, thumb-thick threaded steel bar.

The other end of the steel bar was driven deep into the floating door panel, pinning him to it and rendering him unable to move.

Blood continued to gush from the wound, staining a large area of ​​water red.

"Old Ma?!" Old Xie exclaimed in surprise when he saw the man, and was about to rush over to help.

"No...don't come any closer, don't come any closer!!" The awakened one, pierced by steel bars, struggled to raise his head, revealing a ferocious face covered in black lines.
