An hour later, Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing walked out of the shopping mall.

Upon seeing the two of them, Yunfan leaned out of the car window and exclaimed, "You two are finally out! If you hadn't come out, we would have gone inside to look for you!"

Jiang Nian'an smiled at him, "I encountered a small problem, which delayed me a bit."

"A minor problem? What minor problem?" Yunhua leaned out from behind.

Shen Nanxing opened the car door for Jiang Nian'an and watched her get in before saying to Yunhua and the other two, "We encountered a few who slipped through the net, but it's nothing, it's been taken care of."

"They still haven't given up!"

Yunfan was furious and slammed his fist on the cushion beneath him.

Shen Nanxing started the car and replied, "These are the last few small fry. This won't happen again before we get back to Beijing."

Chaos has broken out everywhere, and all communication signals have been paralyzed.

It won't be so easy for his 'good older brother' to find them.

Yunhua and Yunfan were finally relieved.

"Hey Chen, An'an, have you found any clothes?"

Both of them came up empty-handed, and Yunhua wasn't sure if they had made any gains.

"Found them, quite a few, enough for you to wear for a while."

Jiang Nian'an turned around and said, "Not only do we have summer clothes, but we've also found autumn and winter clothes."

There's also an extra square meter of space.

So, besides clothes, we also found a washing machine. That way, we'll have a place to wash clothes, and they'll wear out less.

"That's great!"

Upon hearing this, Yunfan's anger vanished, and he became happy again.

Jiang Nian'an yawned. "Brother Chen, let's find a safe place to rest."

They finished their afternoon's work this morning and didn't get a good rest last night, so they need to find a place to sleep.

"good."

Shen Nanxing zoomed in on the navigation for a couple of seconds, then deftly turned the steering wheel and headed towards his destination.

Twenty minutes later, Shen Nanxing parked his car in front of a detached villa.

Shen Nanxing turned to look at Jiang Nian'an, "How's it here?"

"Sure, I've never lived in a villa before."

Jiang Nian'an stretched and got out of the car.

Yunfan and Yunhua have already gone inside to check for safety.

Shen Nanxing then inspected the small courtyard and locked the gate.

"There's nothing wrong with this courtyard."

Ten minutes later, Shen Nan walked back to Jiang Nian'an's side.

Just then, Yunfan peeked out from the second floor and said, "It's safe inside."

The two walked into the villa.

When she was just a step away from the door, Jiang Nian'an stopped and turned back to look at the morning glories in full bloom on the west side of the yard.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Nanxing followed her gaze and saw only a cluster of colorful morning glories.

Jiang Nian'an turned around, her eyes fixed on the morning glory. "Brother Chen, do morning glories eat insects?"

"You don't want to eat? What's wrong?"

"Look around at the other plants, they are all swarming with mosquitoes, but this one, blooming beautifully, has not been visited by any mosquitoes."

All signs have led Jiang Nian'an to believe that this patch of morning glories has likely mutated and developed some self-awareness.

After the black rain, all plants were contaminated, but only some mutated.

The roots of contaminated plants do not have crystal nuclei and will not attack other organisms or their own kind; they can only provide mutation energy to already mutated plants.

Mutant plants are exactly the opposite of them.

"Brother Chen, I feel like something's wrong with these flowers."

Jiang Nian'an steered Shen Nanxing's thinking toward the idea that plants can also mutate.

At the same time, head towards the direction of the morning glory.

She took out a dagger and held it horizontally in front of her chest, looking menacing.

The morning glory bushes swayed back and forth in the wind, seemingly without any problems.

However, Jiang Nian'an noticed with her sharp eyes that the swaying rhythm of one of the morning glories did not match that of the others.

"Found you~"

With a flick of her wrist, the emerald green vines, carrying a dagger, struck the morning glory.

'swish swish'

Just as the dagger was about to sever the morning glory, it suddenly recoiled downwards.

Shen Nanxing: !!!

Was he seeing things?

How could he see the morning glory moving on its own and dodging a dagger!

Jiang Nian'an wielded the dagger and swept it around, cutting off all the morning glories around the mutated one, before returning it to her hand.

The mutated morning glory, sprouting anew and swaying in the wind, is particularly eye-catching.

"This is—" Shen Nanxing's pupils contracted slightly, "Not only humans and animals, but even plants have mutated?"

The next second, the mutated morning glory proved to Shen Nanxing that it had indeed mutated.

'brush! '

The mutated morning glory twisted rapidly, its body quickly retracting from the fence to the ground.

Then it crawled forward along the ground, heading straight for the two of them.

As it approached the two, the mutated morning glory suddenly leaped up.

The petals were wide open, seemingly lunging towards the two of them.

Inside are two rows of sharp little thorns, like a mouth that keeps opening and closing.

Shen Nanxing frowned, quickly raised his hand, and unleashed more than a dozen electric blades, cutting the mutated morning glory into more than a dozen pieces.

All the buds on the mutated morning glory fell to the ground, but the sharp little thorns inside were still opening and closing.

The juice was spilled all over the ground.

It wasn't the transparent or green color that Shen Nanxing remembered, but a blood-red color like fresh blood.

"Wow, what is this?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Yunfan and Yunhua ran out.

As soon as I came out, I saw flowers with their mouths open all over the ground, and blood red everywhere.

There is also a main vine that twists and crawls on the ground like a snake and grows rapidly.

Whenever the main vine touches a flower, that flower will grow back onto it.

A mutated morning glory bud also lay at Jiang Nian'an's feet.

She lifted her foot and crushed it fiercely, the blood-red juice bursting out beneath her feet.

These flower buds contain the energy of the mutated morning glory; the less of each bud, the less powerful the mutated morning glory becomes.

Jiang Nian'an's actions directly angered the mutated morning glory.

It leaped into the air again.

More than a dozen branch vines, each two-thirds thinner than the main vine, sprouted from the main vine and all attacked Jiang Nian'an.

Shen Nanxing and the other two immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Nian'an, their knives flashing in afterimages.

In less than a minute, the mutated morning glory buds fell to the ground again.

The mutated morning glory, which had just begun to develop a tiny bit of consciousness: "..."

That's too much of a bullying of the flower.

Hehe~

Protected by the three people, Jiang Nian'an blinked and grinned at the mutated morning glory that was searching for flower buds all over the ground again.

She lifted her foot again and crushed the flower buds at her feet.

Then he started running all over the yard.

Like a child who has found a new and exciting toy, she deliberately stepped on all the buds of the mutated morning glory before it could bloom.

Then, amidst the mutated morning glory's furious pursuit and attack, it 'accidentally' tripped over its branch vines.

As luck would have it, I fell right in front of the roots of the mutated morning glory.
