Before Yu Fen could catch his breath, he had already leaped up from the ground, scaling walls and rooftops, and climbed to the top of Building No. 1 of Yincheng Yazuo with his bare hands.

"Wow! That's so cool!"

He quickly directed his teammates, "Quick, follow! Get upstairs and provide support!"

They were no match for Cheng Zhen, so they had no choice but to resign themselves to climbing the stairs!

Upstairs, Jiang Xiaoxin, who was eating porridge and egg pancakes, suddenly flinched and her face turned very pale.

Jiang Wan and Jiang Xiaoshu noticed immediately: "Xin Xin, what's wrong?"

"Mother……"

"elder brother……"

Jiang Xiaoxin pouted, looking like she was about to cry: "That bamboo monster, it's alive again! Waaah... no, it didn't die! It just tricked those really powerful hero uncles who were trying to kill it!"

Jiang Wan held her in her arms, patting her and coaxing her, "Xin Xin, try not to listen to its thoughts. We're in our own home now, the doors and windows are all closed, and the safety windows are closed too. We'll be fine. Let's not listen to its thoughts."

She wanted her to voluntarily shut down her powers so she wouldn't be bothered by monsters.

Jiang Xiaoxin didn't even try, shaking her head and refusing: "No way, it went next door, and its neighbor is an old lady!"

Waaah, Grandma definitely can't beat it, and Grandma can't run fast either, waaah, what should I do? Grandma is definitely going to die!

Jiang Wan hugged her, made her look at her, and said to her with utmost calmness, "Xin Xin, listen to your mother. From now on, don't listen to its feelings anymore!"

Jiang Xiaoxin was stunned, seemingly finding it unbelievable: "Mom, aren't we going to save that grandma?"

Jiang Wan shook her head with unwavering composure and determination: "Xin Xin, we can't save her."

This is the way things are in the apocalypse; people can only live for themselves. It's not that she didn't want to save them, but that she couldn't!

She closed her eyes, trying to make her words simple and easy to understand: "Xin Xin, we don't have that ability."

"But Mom, if it eats Grandma, it will become strong, and then we will be in great danger!"

Jiang Wan subconsciously looked up at the surrounding structure. Her gaze darkened slightly as she wondered if this kind of building could stop the mutated plants.

Undeniably, Jiang Xiaoxin's words made sense. After the mutated plants ate people and became stronger, they would inevitably be doomed if they hid in this small house!

"Let's leave now!" Since it's dangerous here, let's move quickly!

"Mom! The Asparagus Fern Monster won't come to eat us!" Jiang Xiaoxin suddenly exclaimed, listening to the Asparagus Fern Monster's inner thoughts. "It said we have Purifiers, and it can't beat us!"

"Mommy, who is the Purifier?" Her little face was full of confusion, then she suddenly turned to her brother, "Is it my brother?"

But before Jiang Wan and Jiang Xiaoshu could reply, she exclaimed again, "Oh dear! A heroic uncle has arrived! Grandma is saved!"

What should have been a thrilling moment felt more like a casual chat or storytelling session to Jiang Wan.

She finally understood: "Has the city guard arrived? The old lady is saved. Can we finally eat in peace?"

She believed she was right; at least, once the mutated plants in the building were eradicated, they wouldn't be forced to leave their relatively safe little home and run around aimlessly.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaoxin complained with a displeased expression: "Mom, how could you do this! Uncle Hero is helping us kill monsters, how can you be so indifferent and ignore him? You're so cold-blooded and heartless! You'll have no friends if you keep acting like this!"

Jiang Wan found her accusations both laughable and absurd, but she considered herself an adult and wouldn't stoop to the level of a child!

Jiang Xiaoxin, however, was incredibly kind-hearted and even started giving orders:

"Brother, brother, you are the purifier! Use your powers to help that hero uncle! Over there, over there, its roots are over there! Oh no, hurry! It's going to attack the hero uncle!"

"Oh no, here it is! It's moved here again! Brother, hurry up!"

"Ahhh! It's here again! It says it hates it when people treat it like a flower, keeping it in a tiny pot. It should be growing freely in the soil! Ahhh, brother, here it is!"

Jiang Wan stared in disbelief as she watched the two little ones jumping around in the small house. She was quite certain that if she hadn't locked the door, these two ignorant brats would have rushed out and cheered for the people at the scene!

She watched for a while with a blank expression, and perhaps influenced by her silly little sister, she subconsciously said, "Since that's what it thinks, you guys have to be careful. Don't let it slip out, or you won't be able to catch it if it runs into the field!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxin immediately directed her brother, "Ahhh, Mom's right! Brother, stop it! It's going to jump out the window and run away!"

Jiang Xiaoshu, who was being directed around like a headless chicken, was completely bewildered and speechless: "Little sister, I really can't do it!"

He only has the ability to purify; he has no skills to actively attack or intercept!

Moreover, he could clearly feel that he could only exert his purification ability when the target was very close to him; he struggled when the target was far away.

His abilities are still very weak!

Meanwhile, upstairs, Cheng Zhen, who arrived first, successfully rescued the old lady who was about to be strangled and devoured by the bamboo monster, and then prepared to kill the bamboo monster.

However, a strange scene then unfolded. Every time the bamboo monster launched an attack, before he could even parry or retaliate, the bamboo monster's scaly leaves would stop a meter away from him.

And every time, his attack hit it.

So, the reality is that this asparagus fern monster can't hurt him, but he can hurt it.

After a few exchanges, the Asparagus Fern Monster was completely terrified, wanting nothing more than to break through the window and escape!

Cheng Zhen, of course, saw through his intentions. Immediately, his cold eyes flashed, and he disregarded his doubts, unleashing his killing move to destroy the bamboo monster!

Everything returned to calm, and Yu Fencai arrived late with his team.

Upon seeing the scene, I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "As expected of our Captain Cheng, you're amazing!"

Cheng Zhen glanced at him coldly, pulled a knife from his waist and threw it to him, ordering, "Come on, stab me!"

"What?"

Yu Fen instinctively caught the knife, initially thinking he had misheard due to tinnitus. He then took two steps back, looking at him warily. "Cheng Zhen, give me the code word!"

Cheng Zhen, unable to contain himself any longer, muttered a curse under his breath: "Idiot!"

He launched an attack in an instant, and Yu Fen was forced to retaliate, but he also heard his words and couldn't help but feel relieved: Thank goodness, it was definitely his captain!

In the brief exchange, Cheng Zhen became even more puzzled. Yu Fen was able to attack him, so it wasn't that he had activated his protective ability again. Then how could the bamboo monster have not been able to attack him?

As he walked down the 17th floor, he subconsciously stopped and turned his head to look.
