Seeing how quickly Ruan Tian agreed, Wang Ping's discomfort intensified.

Why didn't Ruan Tian refuse?

Wouldn't it be better to be with yourself?

Why did Ruan Tian agree so readily, and now she's so eager to leave?

Before Wang Ping could think about it any further, Ruan Tian had already impatiently walked out of the room. Just as she was about to take a step, she suddenly remembered something.

"Um, which direction is the mine in again?"

Jing Zhenxu, who was standing next to Ruan Tian: "..."

She didn't even know which direction the mine was in, yet she couldn't wait to go down into it. It has to be said that her mental state was very advanced.

“Come with me.”

This time, it was Jing Zhenxu who took the initiative to hold Ruan Tian's hand and led her towards the westernmost direction.

The two had only taken a few steps when Ruan Tian suddenly remembered something, "Did we forget to lock the door?"

"It seems so."

The two returned, and Jing Zhenxu "invited" everyone out of the house, then closed the door tightly in front of them.

After finishing this task, he returned to Ruan Tian's side, and the two continued walking towards the mine.

Wang Ping stared at Ruan Tian's figure getting further and further away from them, feeling even more uncomfortable. Seeing that she was about to walk away completely, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Wang Ping stood on tiptoe and shouted, "Ruan Tian! If you regret it now, it's not too late!"

In response to Wang Ping, Ruan Tian quickened her pace. As if she had heard a ghost's cry, she immediately grabbed Jing Zhenxu and started running, without ever looking back.

Wang Ping: "..."

He almost laughed in exasperation at Ruan Tian's actions; she really did treat him like a monster.

Unfortunately, Wang Ping quite liked Ruan Tian's prickly personality; beautiful roses always have a few thorns.

But she's about to die in the mine. When will she meet the second Ruan Tian?

The remaining members of the Jing family looked at each other, feeling a pang of regret.

I won't be able to suck Jing Zhenxu's blood anymore.

Who knows when the next "Jing Zhenxu" will appear, so that the Jing family can leech off her?

...

Having already disappeared from everyone's sight, Ruan Tian couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Just thinking about the plants in the mine that could be used to process food makes my heart pound.

Jing Zhenxu noticed Ruan Tian's agitated state. "What exactly happened? Ever since you found out about the mine, you've been very excited."

“Hehe,” Ruan Tian laughed heartily, “You have no idea! Jing Zhenxu, my superpower is about to have a huge boost! But it’s not completely certain yet.”

Ruan Tian planned to try out this superpower after she and Jing Zhenxu had settled down in the mine.

The mine was still quite far away, and Ruan Tian's excited mind gradually cooled down. Suddenly, she thought of something very interesting.

"Jing Zhenxu, how do you think these plants reproduce?"

Hearing this, he was slightly taken aback, not expecting Ruan Tian to ask such a question. "I'm not quite sure either."

Jing Zhenxu had never considered this question.

How exactly do plants reproduce?

Perhaps it's like a dandelion, where the wind blows, the seeds drift with the wind, and slowly, after the wind stops, they settle in one place and quietly wait to sprout.

This is how ordinary dandelions reproduce, but what about mutated dandelions?

Moreover, most plants that have evolved too rapidly have unconsciously developed intelligence and their own thoughts.

Will this plant continue to reproduce in the same way?

“On the first day I saved you, I discovered a very amazing phenomenon: among all the plants present, not a single one was a juvenile; instead, they were all fully grown.”

So where did these fully formed plants come from?

The means of transportation that dandelions rely on is a wisp of wind that can lift them up.

So what are the means of transportation for these mutated plants?

Ruan Tian was very interested in these things, feeling that if she could figure them out, she might be able to discover the secret behind the crazy mutations of the plants in City E.

Jing Zhenxu was inspired by Ruan Tian's words. He gave Ruan Tian an appreciative look and praised her:

"You're really amazing. This is a question I would never have thought about before, but you were able to bring it up."

Ruan Tian was so embarrassed by Jing Zhenxu's praise that she couldn't help but raise her hand to rub the back of her head and whispered, "I'm actually not as amazing as you say."

"How could that be? You have a great interest in everything and are willing to explore things proactively, which is what makes you so amazing."

Humans struggling to survive in an apocalypse have probably long lost the courage and strength to live on, and are living in this world with a "live and let live" mentality.

But things are different now. Ruan Tian is like a spark of light, buried in the soil, yet she can still rely on her own stubbornness and passion to gradually emerge from the darkness and bloom into a dazzling flower that belongs only to her.

This is also what attracts Jing Zhenxu the most about Ruan Tian, ​​leading him to survive in the dark apocalypse.

After walking for a while, the two finally arrived at the entrance of the mine.

Unlike what Ruan Tian had imagined, some mines are usually carved into mountains, but this mine was different; it actually extended downwards.

"No wonder Jingzhong said the underground was very damp. So many plants live in these underground mines that never see sunlight all year round. You can imagine what the environment inside must be like over time."

Ruan Tian took two more steps forward, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Jing Zhenxu.

He pulled Ruan Tian back two steps, his expression still calm, but he gripped Ruan Tian's hand tightly and whispered:

"You can still leave now. The dangers underground are beyond your imagination. There are all sorts of things inside. If you go back now, I won't blame you. I'll just be glad you're safe."

"Oh," Ruan Tian reached out and gently patted his shoulder, "I'm fine now, aren't I? You don't need to be nervous. See, I'm perfectly fine now, right?"

But Jing Zhenxu couldn't laugh. He was about to say something when Ruan Tian grabbed his hand and prepared to lead him downstairs.

Seeing Ruan Tian's resolute attitude, Jing Zhenxu finally sighed helplessly and could only lead her down.

A metal ladder built into the rock descends vertically from the mine shaft.

Jing Zhenxu and Ruan Tian switched places, and he decided to go down first to clear the way for Ruan Tian.

After climbing the ladder for a while, the surrounding air gradually became humid, and the light around us became dimmer and dimmer.

Ruan Tian, ​​who was focused on climbing the ladder, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Jing Zhenxu immediately noticed her pause and asked.

"Um... Jing Zhenxu, if a mushroom had legs and could walk on rocks as if they were flat ground, would that be a common phenomenon?"
