"Brother, will this explosion hurt Zhou Lerui and the others?" Lin Xuan asked Xia Feng anxiously.

"No, Xiao Bao, don't panic. Zhou Lao Er has always been lucky." Xia Feng quickly patted Lin Xuan's head.

The baby was so frightened that even its baby hair stood on end.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have experimented with my superpowers. Who knew it would cause such a commotion?" Lin Xuan was truly filled with regret.

"Experimental superpowers? Xiao Bao, did you cause this explosion?" Xia Feng asked.

"Yeah, didn't you tell me to try to draw out all the energy orbs from the plants? Who knew those energy orbs would just keep getting bigger and bigger until they exploded." Is his brother cursed? Every idea he has about superpowers ends up causing trouble.

Xia Feng was speechless and felt guilty. He hadn't expected that his idea about superpowers would have such great power after Xiao Bao put it into practice.

If Xiao Bao hadn't had his spatial ability, the release of that energy would have blasted them both away.

"I'm sorry, baby. I won't give you any more bad advice. This is all my fault. You can hit me to vent your anger..." Xia Feng grabbed Lin Xuan's hand and started hitting his own face.

Lin Xuan only complained in her heart, but wasn't really angry with her brother. She quickly pulled her hand back forcefully.

"I'm not angry with my brother. Let's not waste time here. Let's go out and see if we've blown up Brother Zhou and the others."

Feeling that the smoke from the explosion outside had mostly dissipated, the two covered their mouths and noses with wet towels and came out.

Xia Feng held Lin Xuan tightly; it was so dark outside, he couldn't let go for even a moment.

The violent explosion dispersed the thick fog in the area, and Lin Xuan's flashlight illuminated half of the street.

We walked through the ruins they had blasted out.

Under the intense light, the town's streets appeared eerie and strange.

Not far away, every house was enveloped by mutated plants, whose branches grew desperately upwards, twisting in mid-air.

Xia Feng held Lin Xuan firmly with one arm, gripping the machete in the other, ready for battle at any moment.

As they hacked and slashed, the invisible vines, fearing that Xia Feng's large cleaver might accidentally injure them, dared not swing their weapons and could only cling tightly to the two of them for protection.

The tips of the attacking vines all had something that looked like a human hand growing from them. When that thing got closer, it turned out to be half a zombie arm.

Plant branches creep into the arm to form meridians, controlling the five fingers with black fingernails, allowing for flexible movements.

These mutated plants fused perfectly with the zombie's arm, forming a new variant.

Fortunately, these mutants were not sturdy. With the powerful chopping of the machete, the zombies' arms were cut off and sent flying into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

However, these detached arms will soon be reattached by new plant stems, and they will continue to grow wildly.

Xia Feng led Lin Xuan through the block and arrived at a gushing stream.

The stream was right next to the town's buildings, and when the flashlight beam shone on it, Lin Xuan was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.

The stream was no longer filled with water, but with purplish-black algae, which contained countless zombie corpses.

The zombies' heads were still above the water, their heads severely decomposed, and their mouths were still opening and closing as if tearing at something.

This is practically a living zombie pit.

Ah! Spain!

Lin Xuan couldn't help but swear.

"Xiao Bao, you can't swear." Xia Feng recognized the phrase as something Lin Xuan had learned from watching a TV series, and from the tone of the voice, he knew it was definitely an insult.

It's really hard to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things. Xia Feng won't allow that to happen.

"Where did they go?" The two ran along the riverbank for a while but couldn't find them.

Less than fifteen minutes had passed between Zhou Xinran and his sister going out to look for someone and hearing Zhou Lerui's scream.

But they've been looking for someone for almost half an hour now.

Could they have really been killed by the explosion?

Lin Xuan was both anxious and scared. If they really killed her, she would never be able to live in peace again.

"Brother, let's go back and look for the place where the explosion just happened. Maybe they're trapped under the brick wall."

Lin Xuan's tone was a little anxious.

"Okay, let's go back and take a look." Xia Feng bounced Lin Xuan up a bit, then rushed into the alley by the river, intending to take a detour back from there.

Not long after entering the alley, we saw a house burning not far ahead, with flames occasionally leaping out of the door.

Fire-based superpowers...

Zhou Xinran!

Xia Feng quickly ran over to provide support.

The entrance to the house was completely engulfed in flames. Through the fire, one could vaguely see Zhou Xinran carrying Zhou Lerui on his back, desperately trying to avoid the hands of the alien plant zombies.

Although the plant zombie hands were still burning, they scratched relentlessly, making eerie squeaking noises.

Zhou Xinran swung his machete haphazardly, occasionally unleashing a tongue of fire to burn the things.

Xia Feng released a lightning dragon that circled around Zhou Xinran and struck him with electricity.

The zombie's arm was instantly electrocuted and fell to the ground.

Zhou Xinran looked up and saw Xia Feng's tall figure through the fire door, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

"Old Xia! Come quick, save me!"

His shout was so loud it made a huge noise.

The invisible vines swiftly passed through the fire gate, tightly wrapping around Zhou Xinran and his sister, and pulled them outwards.

The two were pulled out of the house.

After the four met up, they didn't waste any words and quickly ran to an open space.

A net of lightning surrounded the four people, and the outstretched arms were struck by electric shocks.

After crossing this street, there is an ancient bridge ahead, and under the bridge is the same stream where algae and zombie bodies are intertwined.

Running on the ancient bridge, Lin Xuan looked down and saw the zombies below desperately stretching their heads upwards to bite at the air, making a crackling sound.

The algae carried the zombies along, and it was unclear where they were going.

After the heads of the zombies that passed under the bridge were washed away, they turned back towards Lin Xuan, their two dark, hollow eye sockets staring at them.

Lin Xuan gripped Xia Feng's shirt tightly and turned her head away from the heads.

Not far past the ancient bridge is a three-story pagoda. The area around the pagoda is very open, and there are not as many exotic plants here.

Xia Feng cleared away the plants around the tower with a circle of electric netting, then carried Lin Xuan into the tower.

Zhou Xinran also carried Zhou Lerui on his back and followed behind.

The tower was cramped and filled with broken bricks and tiles, and the stone walls were covered with dust and cobwebs.

In the middle is a narrow passageway leading to an upward staircase, and on both sides are separate small houses without doors, all of which are not very spacious.

Zhou Xinran used a flame to singe the spider web before putting Zhou Lerui down from his back.

Zhou Lerui had already fainted, and only then did Lin Xuan see the two of them clearly.

Half of Zhou Xinran's body was covered in a purplish-black unidentified liquid, and his sun protection clothing was so torn that it was completely unrecognizable.

Zhou Lerui was in an even worse state; her entire body looked as if she had been pulled out of a dirty ditch, and her beautiful curly hair was tangled and covered with a lot of algae.

The sun-protective pants were torn open at the thigh, revealing scratches that were turned inside out, with dirty, sticky fluid stuck to the wounds.

Lin Xuan gasped; Zhou Lerui had been scratched.
