Chapter 239

Plant mutation?

Exposed to all sorts of severe weather, mutating to adapt to new environments indeed accorded with the theory of evolution.

Whatever. She decided to plant it in the Arcadia for now.

Hoping to find a few more, the three of them conducted a thorough search, but unfortunately, they found no more.

They continued to chop wood, finding herbs when they grew tired.

Having spent five to six days in the thick woods, they'd cleared several hills of trees, enough to keep five to six truckloads of lumber for themselves and donate ten more.

They didn't rush to leave but instead, sought herbs in the dense forest. Over the next few days, they found about fifty to sixty different herbs, the most valuable among them were a young ginseng plant, several wild yam plants, and some goji berries. Stella's eyes were about to pop out looking for them. It was an extreme eye strain; she was exhausted and needed to rest.

And so, their wood-chopping trip ended. With their dog and rabbits in tow, they planned to return to the city.

"Ah...!"

A horrific scream suddenly echoed throughout the dense forest. The chilling sound caused goosebumps to rise. Cooper's fur stood on end, his face fierce.

Jasper perked up his ears, "It sounds like it's coming from another part of the forest."

This scream, even after three years, Stella was overly familiar with it - it was filled with despair. It wasn't a simple distress call.

Over the past three years, whether it was Lukas' group or Jasper, and even Cooper and Rosie, had slowly been healing her. But when the scream echoed again, Stella felt her blood rush to her head, and she instantly drew her gun and loaded it. Jasper noticed her emotional fluctuation, "Don't panic. Let's see what's going on first."

Stella nodded, taking a deep breath to calm herself down.
