The group of people hiding in the shadows were slightly surprised. They knew that Bo Shiwu was very strong, but they did not expect that this man would be so powerful. They did not make a sound, but this man was able to detect that someone was there in the first place.

Soon after, a dark-skinned man said loudly, "We mean no harm."

Qiao He and Bo Shiwu looked in the direction of the sound and saw the dark-skinned man standing on the fifth-floor window sill, holding a gun with the dark muzzle pointed at them, not moving an inch.

Qiao He laughed and said coldly, "No malice? You're pointing a gun at us and you don't mean any harm!"

Dark-skinned man: "Didn't you also lower your guard?"

"I can see you're all superhumans, that's rare! If you want to know what's going on here, why don't you lower your guard and we can talk first?" the dark-skinned man said kindly. He glanced around and then whispered, "Those vines will be coming back soon. You must be missing a few of your men, right?"

"They were all taken away by those vines."

"Come in first, otherwise the vines will come over if the ground shakes."

Qiao He and Bo Shiwu exchanged a glance. Qiao He learned from the "Playing it Off" system that this man indeed had no ill intentions, at least not now.

There was malice in his words at the beginning, but it has completely disappeared now.

Qiao He squinted and said to Bo Shiwu, "Let's go, he's right."

Bo Shiwu nodded slightly; he completely trusted Qiao He.

The two of them temporarily entered the building.

Before long, a group of people came down, men and women, all covered in dust and dirt, but they were generally in good spirits and exuded a resolute aura.

Qiao He found it strange and asked, "Are you from the military?"

A woman asked in slight surprise, "How did you know?"

"Holy crap, does this little girl have mind-reading abilities?" someone exclaimed.

The dark-skinned man frowned: "Stop talking."

These people are all idiots. They just blurted everything out after being asked a question.

The dark-skinned man looked helpless and said in a low voice, "We are indeed from the military, so you don't need to be too afraid."

"There are not many people left in this city, including those in the surrounding cities; most of them have been taken away by that vine."

The dark-skinned man spoke with a solemn expression.

Qiao He raised an eyebrow slightly: "Then why aren't you in a hurry to leave?"

The woman who had spoken earlier gave a bitter smile: "We can't leave; we can't move an inch."

Qiao He: "What do you mean?"

The woman said, "Once those vines have wrapped people up, do you think they'll let us go? Especially on the outskirts of the city, it's easy to get in, but getting out is harder than climbing to heaven!"

The dark-skinned man nodded: "That's right. After the vines take people away at first, they don't kill them immediately. They are intelligent and know how to hoard food."

Qiao He was slightly surprised: "What? Stockpiling?"

Dark-skinned man: "Yes, what's amazing is that after it takes people away, it doesn't let them starve to death. Instead, it raises them first, and then when it gets too hungry, it picks out the older ones to eat."

Qiao He and Bo Shiwu's expressions immediately turned serious. "Are you telling the truth?"

The woman said helplessly, "Even if it's not true, it's probably very close."

“That’s one of our men who risked his life to escape. Even with his legs torn off, he still crawled out bit by bit to tell us these things!” The woman’s eyes reddened as she spoke, and her voice trembled as she continued, “So I don’t think he’s lying. When he was dragged away by those vines, his back was broken… and his intestines were spilling out!”

The dark-skinned man said in a deep voice, "Stop talking. They just arrived. Don't scare them."

Upon hearing these things, Qiao He's expression grew increasingly grim.

Start with the elderly.

Lin Qiao is in danger!

The group of people in front of her were indeed not lying. With the "lie detector" of the "playing dumb" system, Qiao He knew that what they said was true.

Bo Shiwu said in a deep voice, "We can't wait any longer, we need to go find Grandma and the children."

The woman was shocked: "What? The people who were taken away were elderly people and children?"

"That's terrible! Who knows if those vines will attack the old man..." the woman murmured nervously.

The dark-skinned man said, "No, it ate just a few days ago."

“You don’t need to worry too much. We’ve figured out the vine’s feeding schedule. It’s not eating people right now, but after a while, we don’t know if it will randomly pick an elderly person to eat.”

Qiao He's gaze gradually turned cold: "Do you know where the vines' lair is?"

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

The dark-skinned man said, "I advise you not to rush over there, you'll die!"

"Its strength is increasing day by day; those vines were only one-tenth of its power."

“If you go to its lair, you definitely won’t come back,” the dark-skinned man said in a low voice.

Qiao He: "But we have a reason to go, we must go."

Bo Shiwu nodded: "It can't be that Grandma and the children are in danger."

"But..." The dark-skinned man wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

They also wanted to go in and save people.

Their teammates and their families are inside!

There are also countless innocent civilians!

Being dragged away by a mutated monster like that would be hard for anyone to accept.

“We don’t have any superhumans,” the woman said in a low voice.

“You’re all just ordinary people… I think you two are probably both superhumans, but there are too few of you. If you really go, it will be a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!” the woman said worriedly.

Qiao He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you willing to come in with us to rescue them?"

The dark-skinned man froze: "Us?"

"Yes, I have the ability to protect you and be your support."

"But the prerequisite is that you must work your hardest to kill the vines! Even if it takes all your last bit of strength!"

Bo Shiwu glanced at Qiao He, as if to say, "Can we really trust them?"

Qiao He told him with her eyes that it was okay.

The dark-skinned man fell silent: "We have no weapons, only our strength."

"Shortly after the natural disaster struck, the vines began to move, quietly taking away all kinds of stockpiled supplies, whether it was food, daily necessities or anything else."

"Later it was all about robbing people, and many people just disappeared without a trace."

Qiao He said, "Now that we have a chance to rescue everyone, aren't you going to seize it?"

Everyone present was stunned. "But we have nothing!"

Qiao He smiled, narrowing her eyes: "We do."

"My superpower can create everything!"

Qiao He threw out a smoke bomb.

She wouldn't just casually tell everyone that she has a Blood Jade Space, and that her kitten has an even bigger, upgradeable space!
