Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL) - Chapter 455

Capítulo 455: Chapter 454: Back at the north base 5

As for Luciel’s awakened plants, they were also interested in them and asked how they could distinguish them properly and how they could find them.

Because if they had a lot of such plants that could also fight for them, then they could further strengthen the base and improve their defenses.

However, Treyton immediately refused for him even after they offered more supplies, saying that they should leave it to their own plant users to discover them on their own.

Luciel didn’t mind sharing it, but since Treyton had refused for him, he also didn’t say anything. However, he still shared the method on how to form a link with plants to help other plant users avoid having a lot of detours when contracting plants.

As for looking for conscious plants, if they still had no idea about it even after seeing Mr. Acacia, Sun, and Thorn, then it simply meant that they didn’t have enough ability, as they didn’t even know how to learn something when the reference was already in front of them.

They also became interested in the two mutant cats that came with the people they had rescued after learning that the cats were really close to their owners.

It was the same reason they were interested in Luciel’s conscious plants.

They thought that if they had more mutant animals willing to protect the people with them, then it would be good.

Well, it’s indeed good, but mutant animals were even harder to control than conscious plants.

According to the novel, mutant animals also had their own thoughts and continuously developed their intelligence as they grew stronger.

The development of their intelligence was more gradual than conscious plants, which was why, unlike plants, they weren’t asleep for a long time and didn’t suddenly awaken after humans woke up.

Animals already had more obvious intelligence to begin with, so the further development of their intelligence was gradual and mostly connected to how strong they currently were.

If they get stranger, their intelligence would also improve a little.

Of course, the improvement of their intelligence wouldn’t be as big as when they had just woken up as mutant animals but it would continue improving after their strength improves.

In his original world, they didn’t have mutant animals they could communicate with because all of them had gone astray and mostly joined the monsters’ side.

And even if they didn’t join, they were also very aggressive and thirsty for blood, except for a few who were still helpful due to their very deep bonds with their humans.

However, in the world he was currently in, the energy wasn’t polluted and didn’t cause an immediate drastic change in animals, which was why most of them became more intelligent instead.

Of course, most of them were still heavily influenced by their instincts, and a lot of them didn’t want to be under human control. Many preferred to live on their own and even hunted humans for food, so not a lot of mutant animals could truly be helpful to humans.

According to the book, there were also people who could establish a link with mutant animals just like forming a link with conscious plants, but very few could do so.

There were no superpowers specifically involved in controlling animals like plant superpowers that enabled plant users to form links and talk to plants through the connection of their energy.

That was why in the book, only one person was ever recorded to have done so, thanks to their mutated telekinesis power and their connection to animals.

Of course, some people still had strong bonds with the animals they owned before the apocalypse, so when those animals mutated, they continued to stay with them and help them.

But those connections were considered unreliable compared to forming a link, which had stronger binding power than just deep affection.

Even without forming a link, or even if they didn’t have any special abilities related to animals, people could still basically understand what mutant animals were trying to say depending on their reactions. It was easier than understanding conscious plants like Mr. Acacia.

And if they found a smart parrot, they could understand mutant animals even better without needing to form a link.

However, it was still unreliable because without a link, they couldn’t restrain the animals if they went on a rampage.

So Treyton’s family, who learned about forming links with conscious plants, also thought about forming links with mutated animals. But since they didn’t know much about it, they only said that they would let some people try it later.

Luciel knew that they probably wouldn’t succeed, but he didn’t say anything because they might indeed discover something else.

After they talked more about the events they were interested in, they then focused on how well they performed in their main mission.

Their main mission in going out this time was to collect food supplies and construction supplies for the base, and they had managed to collect a lot.

This time, Treyton had to talk more about it as Astrid wasn’t fully aware of how much they had collected since she wasn’t involved in listing and tallying the items.

Treyton told them about the places where they collected the supplies and what exactly they had gathered.

Treyton also gave them the list that Yang had prepared—of all the things they had collected that would be surrendered to the base.

Of course, they had already separated the supplies that would remain with their team.

After Treyton’s grandpa and uncles scanned the quantity of supplies in the list, they praised them once more.

They were genuinely happy about the amount of supplies collected, as it would at least be enough for the base to consume for a year.

Well, for the current population of the north base, it would probably only last for six months if they weren’t thrifty, but it would last for a year as long as they were more frugal and properly allocated the supplies they had.
