Chapter 586 591. White Claw's Merit

Sure enough, as the screams became more and more shrill, the entire ginkgo tree began to slap its trunk frantically, just like humans committing self-harm. All the roots quickly retracted and moved closer to the ginkgo tree, no longer caring about attacking the group of people.

The moment the scream fell, a white bone claw broke out of the body, holding a green crystal core tightly in its hand, and rushed towards Bai Qi. As the crystal core left the body, the whole ginkgo tree suddenly dried up and withered as if its vitality was drained away. At this moment, countless silver butterflies danced, emitting a fluorescent light and flew towards Lian Qiao.

It turned out that the reason why the Bone Claw was able to find the crystal core and dig it out in such a short time was because the silver butterfly sucked out the supernatural power flowing in the branches of the ginkgo tree, hollowing out its trunk bit by bit, making it impossible for the ginkgo tree to interfere with the Bone Claw's movement in its body, greatly accelerating the withering of the ginkgo tree.

In this battle, Qiao Ziyi and Chen Yang, who were the main forces, fell down the moment the ginkgo tree's attack was withdrawn. Their supernatural powers were exhausted and they could no longer hold on.

Han Yixiao and Bai Qi each held one of them and placed them on the ground. The spacious ground was covered with densely packed dead tree roots.

At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and smiled as if they had survived a disaster. After resting for a while, Han Yixiao and Xiao Zeli flew up the ginkgo tree and cut it into pieces of wood, intending to take them back to use as firewood.

When Qiao Ziyi and Chen Yang woke up, everyone was already on the return bus.

"Where are we going now?"

Qiao Ziyi watched the car driving along a remote route and was immediately puzzled. Isn't it going back to the base? Why doesn't it look like it? Chen Yang also looked out the window, and a big question mark appeared in his head.

"Clear the rail lines."

Lin Shishi looked at the two people's tightly clasped hands and spoke softly.

"Clearing the railway line? Aren't you going back to base?"

Qiao Ziyi thought they would go back to the base directly and leave this task to Qiao Weiming alone.

Lin Shishi rolled her eyes and immediately doubted his IQ.

“Are there any conflicts between the two?”

"Well"

Qiao Ziyi had nothing to say.

Clearing the railway line was Qiao Zixi's third purpose, and it was also the one that took the longest time. After all, no one could have predicted how many difficult problems they would encounter along the railway line from the Northwest Base to the Kyoto Base.

"First find the train, and then we'll take it."

Yu Zhiming, who has had the experience of taking a train in the end times, is more inclined to take the train. It is both efficient and relatively safe. Moreover, the train burns coal, and they just happen to have coal. It's a pity that the coal mine collapsed.

"I also think it's better to take the train."

Tian Yuanyuan doesn't like squeezing in narrow cars, she prefers traveling on the relatively comfortable train.

Qiao Zixi was sitting in the passenger seat holding little Qiao Qiao. In her arms, the little one was sleeping soundly, with her fair and tender cheeks glowing with a pink halo, looking innocent and naive.

Qiao Zixi felt that she had changed a lot. When she first arrived here, she was aloof and cold and resolute. However, as she spent more time with this group of people and experienced more things, her heart gradually softened, and she began to care about their life and death, living, and future.

Therefore, she didn't mind doing something for these people so that they could live longer and better, but there would never be more.
