As soon as the green seed touched the dry sandy soil, it immediately came alive! It drilled into the soil at a speed visible to the naked eye, took root, sprouted, and put out tender green branches!

But in just a few breaths, under the astonished gaze of everyone, a sapling about half a person's height rose from the ground! The sapling's branches and leaves were green and full of vitality.

What is even more incredible is that on the tender branch at the top of the sapling, there is a fruit the size of an apple, which is completely green and translucent!

After completing this series of operations, Hongdou was obviously exhausted. His little body swayed a bit and he looked listless.

It took light steps and rubbed against Su Wan's feet. It rubbed her ankle affectionately with its little head, then it dived into her pocket, found a comfortable position, and fell into a deep sleep, even making a slight snoring sound.

Su Wan slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand, and carefully picked the green fruit hanging on the tender branch.

What on earth is this?

Su Wan held the green fruit in his palm and looked at it carefully.

The fruit is the size of an apple, quite large.

"What...what is this?" Xiao Han came closer and stared at the fruit in Su Wan's hand. "The red beans spit out by the mouse...turned into small trees and grew big fruits?!"

A mouse sucked in a top-grade crystal core and then spit out a seed. The seed instantly grew into a tree, and a fruit grew on the tree.

A'mo also walked a few steps closer and couldn't see what was different about this fruit, except that its color was quite beautiful.

Li Kui also stopped crying temporarily and looked at the fruit with his red and swollen eyes.

"This fruit... seems edible."

"Eat? Su Wan, don't do anything rash!" Xiao Han hurriedly stopped him, "This thing is from an unknown source. What if it's poisonous? Rats are very evil to begin with."

Su Wan hesitated for a moment and looked at Lu Shiyan.

Lu Shiyan was also weighing the options. Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of gunfire and faint roars.

Almost instinctively, everyone picked up the weapons around them and quickly formed a defensive formation with the off-road vehicle as the center.

Lu Shiyan pulled Su Wan behind him and looked towards the direction where the sound came from.

"What's going on?" Xiao Han lowered his voice and listened attentively, "It sounds like they are chasing someone."

In the twilight, vision was obstructed, but the chaotic movement was approaching their location at a very fast speed.

Soon, a staggering figure appeared in their sight.

He was a man who looked very young, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a tattered windbreaker.

His body was covered in blood and one of his legs seemed to be seriously injured. He ran with a limp, and every time he landed he left a blood mark of varying depths on the sand.

Not far behind him, four or five men armed with machetes and homemade guns were chasing him with ferocious looks on their faces, shouting and cursing.

"Don't run away, you little brat! Hand over the things and I'll give you a quick death!"

"Damn, you're quite a runner! I'm going to break your legs when I catch you!"

The young man who was being hunted apparently also noticed Lu Shiyan and his group. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but the pursuers behind him did not give him a chance to choose.

He gritted his teeth, used up his last bit of strength, and rushed towards the SUV, "Help..."

"Stop!" Xiao Han raised his gun and warned loudly.

However, the young man was already exhausted. He stumbled and fell heavily on the sand about ten meters away from them, kicking up a cloud of dust and unable to get up again.

The pursuers behind him were stunned when they saw that there was an off-road vehicle and a group of people here, and then their faces showed even more greedy and ferocious expressions.

"Oh, there's an unexpected gain?" The bald man in the lead licked his cracked lips, his eyes swept back and forth between the well-maintained SUV and Su Wan, the lust in his eyes undisguised, "Brothers, it looks like we're lucky today! We'll take both the car and the woman!"

Lu Shiyan's eyes suddenly turned cold, like ice that had not melted for thousands of years.

"Looking for death." He opened his thin lips and uttered two words.

Without waiting for those people to react, A'mo's figure flashed out like a ghost, and the gun in his hand made a dull and unique sound.

"Bang!"

The bald man who was rushing in the front suddenly had a bloody hole between his eyebrows. Before the greed on his face disappeared, his body fell straight back.

The remaining few people were frightened out of their wits by this sudden scene. Just as they were about to raise their guns to fight back, Xiao Han had already made his move.

Several invisible wind blades flashed in the dim twilight and cut their throats precisely.

Blood gushed out, and several people covered their necks, making strange hoarse noises, following the footsteps of their boss.

The whole process took only a few breaths, clean and neat.

The young man who was lying on the ground in despair was now looking at the group of people with wide eyes and horror on his face.

After solving the trouble, Lu Shiyan didn't even look at the corpses. His eyes fell back on the green fruit in Su Wan's hand.

He walked up to the surviving young man, looked down at him, with no warmth in his voice.

"Want to live?"

The young man shuddered when he was looked at by him, and nodded subconsciously. His lips had lost all color due to excessive blood loss.

Lu Shiyan turned around and extended his hand to Su Wan.

Su Wan immediately understood what Lu Shiyan meant. Without any hesitation, she handed over the green fruit.

"Ashi, this..." Xiao Han was about to speak, but was stopped by Lu Shiyan's eyes.

Lu Shiyan squatted down and handed the fruit to the boy.

"Eat it."

The young man was still in shock as he looked at the emerald green fruit handed to him. He didn't know why these terrifyingly powerful people wanted him to eat it, but his instinct to survive overwhelmed everything.

The young man didn't understand why the man asked him to eat the fruit, but he didn't want to die. These people were very powerful and it would be easy for them to kill him. There was no need to beat around the bush, so he took the fruit and took a bite.

vomit……

What the hell is this?! Sour? Bitter? Astringent? Or an indescribable rancid smell?

Countless unbearable tastes exploded in his mouth, his stomach churned, and he almost couldn't control the urge to vomit it out.

Lu Shiyan quickly blocked his mouth and said, "If you want to live, you have to eat it."

A trace of despair flashed across the young man's eyes, but he finally swallowed the fruit with difficulty, enduring the nausea that was rising straight to his head. Then he looked at the fruit that had only been injured on the skin...

Suddenly I don't want to live anymore. This is too disgusting...

He now seriously suspected that this group of people were not saving him, but torturing him in a more cruel way.

Xiao Han's mouth twitched as he watched from the side. He couldn't help but take a half step back, retching exaggeratedly, and said to Su Wan in a low voice, "My goodness, it seems to be very unpalatable..."

The young man looked ashen and glanced at Lu Shiyan in despair.

Whatever, just die! The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn!

He closed his eyes, revealing a tragic expression of bravely sacrificing himself and dying bravely, like a martyr rushing to the execution ground, and took another big bite.

The indescribable stench filled his mouth again, and he resisted the urge to vomit, and swallowed the fruit pulp almost with the determination to die. This time, he learned his lesson and tried not to let the horrible fruit pulp stay in his mouth for too long, holding his breath and trying to swallow it whole.

"Gudong."

He felt like he was not eating fruit, but swallowing a complete set of the Ten Cruel Tortures of the Qing Dynasty.

With every swallow, his face turned paler and his body shook more violently.

He even began to wonder if he would be the first unlucky person since the apocalypse to die not from zombies, not from hunger, not from evil hearts, but from eating too unpalatable fruit.

For a moment, he suddenly didn't want to live anymore... Really, it would be better to just die.
