Chapter 46 Weird Dreams

The purpose of their coming here was to search for supplies. Now they haven't found the snow vehicle and are trapped in this hotel. Although the facilities here are good and there is food and drink, plus the supplies in Qin Muxue's space, staying here is not a long-term solution after all.

Shi Yan seemed to see through her thoughts, "If you want to find some means of transportation, I seemed to have seen it when I was looking for something before. There is a warehouse behind the kitchen, and there are several snowmobiles parked there."

"Really?" Qu Yanbai stood up suddenly, wanting to go find those snowmobiles with great interest. The purpose of their coming here was to find these snowmobiles.

Wu You stood up and followed him, "Brother Qu, I want to go and see it too, wait for me."

Now only Qin Muxue and Shi Yan were left here. Shi Yan sat opposite Qin Muxue. "I also made some coffee. Would you like to drink some?"

He actually remembered that she had often made coffee to drink in the morning to cheer herself up since high school, and it had to be black coffee, the bitter and astringent kind.

"Okay." A bowl of hot coffee was soon placed in front of her, without milk or brown sugar.

Qin Muxue took a sip, and the bitter taste immediately spread from her mouth. It was even doubly bitter. "Ahem, you actually still remember that I used to add double the amount of black coffee to avoid feeling sleepy. But this is a little too bitter..."

After living a new life, her taste seems to have changed a little. Even coffee with milk and brown sugar can be drunk by her. After all, people always have to change.

"Sorry, I only remember your previous taste..." Shi Yan showed an apologetic expression.

"It's okay, just to perk myself up." She drank the coffee in one gulp and said thank you.

Then they heard Wu You's scream coming from the kitchen. When Qin Muxue and Shi Yan hurried over, they saw a basement under the warehouse. The basement was covered with a thick layer of vines that wrapped up the snowmobile.

When Wu You saw Qin Muxue, he immediately ran to her side and shouted, "Sister Qin, what are these things? They are so scary!"

Entangled in the vines were the corpses of various animals. Some had only bones left, while others were half-rotten and emitted a foul and unpleasant odor. A child like Wu You would definitely be scared if he saw them.

But Qin Muxue did not let him escape this time. Instead, she made him look directly at these things. He came out for training, and she must make him familiar with these scenes as soon as possible. "Don't be afraid, they are just some corpses. They won't hurt us."

Qu Yanbai couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "What I wonder is, how did these animals get into this basement?"

He has wood-related abilities and can feel the mental fluctuations of the vines in front of him. Could it be that these vines have also mutated?

Shi Yan used his palm as a sharp blade without any hesitation to cut the vines in half with a few "swishes", leaving a mess on the ground.

Fortunately, he was very quick and didn't damage the snowmobile at all. He said calmly, "Can you see if the snowmobile can still be used?"

Qu Yanbai looked at this scene in surprise, then came to his senses and sat on the snowmobile and tried to start it. "Fortunately, it can be started."

Qin Muxue planned to take all these snowmobiles away. There were four or five in total, which was just enough to carry all of them.

A vine quietly came around the corner and went behind Wu You. Before Wu You could react, Shi Yan took the initiative and cut the vine off.

Wu You turned around with lingering fear and saw that the vine was still rolling and twisting on the ground like a snake. "Brother Shi Yan, what's going on?"

"It seems that the plants here have evolved, and the vines will attack the relatively weaker ones among us."

Qin Muxue touched Wu You's head to calm him down. At this time, Yan looked at them, and his eyes suddenly emitted a dark light, and then returned to normal.

"Let's follow the vine and see what's going on with this plant!" Qin Muxue suggested. If it is a mutated plant, it should also have a crystal core.

At this moment, everyone suddenly had a bad feeling, "Oh no, Manman is still sleeping in the room, I wonder if this vine will attack her."

Qin Muxue's heart tightened and she quickly ran towards the guest room.

After opening the door, Ding Manman looked at them nervously and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing." Seeing that Ding Manman was safe and sound, Qin Muxue finally felt relieved.

She explained to Ding Manman the vines she had just seen. "I suspect that these vines will absorb the vitality of living things. I just saw the remains of many animals around the vines."

She suddenly thought of the woods they saw outside when they arrived at the hotel. The temperature in the woods was not that low. She found it a little strange at first, and now it seems even weirder.

Moreover, there are so many mushrooms growing in that place, but the soil environment doesn't seem like it would grow mushrooms.

She suggested: "Why don't we go to that forest first?"

"You mean the woods we went into before?"

Qu Yanbai also agreed with her proposal. If they wanted to destroy the vines and find the crystal core, they must now find where the roots of the vines are.

At this time, Ding Manman's stomach growled at an inopportune time. "Sorry, I'm a little hungry." She touched her stomach awkwardly.

Qin Muxue smiled and threw her a bag of bread. "You missed the delicious food made by Shi Yan. Eat some bread first!"

Ding Manman listened to their discussion while chewing bread.

Shi Yan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said, "Isn't entering that forest the same as entering the territory of the mutant plants?"

This is also what Qin Muxue is worried about. "That's true, but we have Qu Yanbai."

Qu Yanbai is a wood-type mutant who can control plants that have not mutated.

At this time, Ding Manman was eating bread and found that the window seemed to be blocked by something, and the light outside was completely blocked.

"What's going on? Why did it suddenly get dark?"

Qin Muxue tried to open the window. "It's not that it's dark, but the window is sealed."

Shi Yan quickly removed the vines wrapped around the window and looked outside. "The entire hotel is entangled by vines. It seems that its target is us."

Just as they want to obtain the crystal cores of the mutated plants, the other party also wants to obtain their crystal cores.

"I still don't know what your special abilities are?" Shi Yan suddenly asked.

Qin Muxue, Ding Manman and Qu Yanbai looked at each other and saw them nod. Then she explained, "Mine is a water ability, which can control water. Qu Yanbai has a wood ability, which can control plants. And Manman has a healing ability, which can help everyone recover from their wounds."

Shi Yan touched his chin and said, "I understand."

As the vines outside wrapped around the entire house, it became increasingly difficult to breathe in the hotel.

"Oh no, this mutant plant is very smart. It is absorbing the air in the house."

As everyone's breathing became more and more difficult, Shi Yan immediately cleared a path for them and cut the surrounding vines. His technique was swift and his efficiency was several times faster than that of an ordinary person. No one could even see his movements, and he had a calm expression on his face, concentrating on observing the situation around him.

The others couldn't fall behind and they used machetes and kitchen knives to continuously cut the surrounding vines. Pearl and Baozhu also joined the team and finally they managed to open up a path.

This seemed to anger the vines, and it angrily threw out several vines to attack them, but they were easily dealt with by Shi Yan. He turned around swiftly and cut all the vines that attacked everyone into pieces on the ground.

Finally they cut through the vines around the gate and ran out quickly, gasping for breath and almost suffocating, but luckily they escaped in time.

"I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect that you are so good at body movement, Shi Yan."

Qin Muxue could see that he had practiced before. Shi Yan used to be weak and sickly. He would be exhausted and out of breath after running more than 100 meters. Now he could easily deal with the vines around him without blushing or beating his heart.

Shi Yan seemed to realize something, and he covered his chest and said, "No, I was worried about your safety. I was too nervous just now, so I released this potential, but the ability has indeed improved my physique to a certain extent."

Seeing his face suddenly turn pale, Qin Muxue handed him a few chocolate energy bars and said, "Eat some to replenish your energy!"

After they walked fifty meters away from the house, the vines stopped attacking them.

"It seems that it can't attack areas outside a 50-meter radius around the hotel."

They were now stepping on thick snow, with their lower bodies almost buried in it. If Shi Yan had not been quick just now, they would have been caught by the vines and used as feed.

"The snow is too heavy." The snowflakes in the sky didn't seem to be falling, but rather smashing down.

They could only hide in a small wooden house nearby. The house was originally used to store sundries and contained many broken skis, sleds and other items.

We got out in such a hurry that the snowmobiles didn't take us away, and now we are trapped here by the blizzard and vines.

Although the wooden house can shelter from the wind and snow, it is still very cold. Qu Yanbai handed the broken snowboard to Shi Yan and said, "Please help me break it."

Shi Yan raised his head and looked at him, then chopped all the wooden boards in half.

Qu Yanbai built a small fire and burned the wooden boards, which at least brought some warmth to the entire cabin.

At this moment, Shi Yan's face was pale and he was shaky. Suddenly he fell into Qin Muxue's arms.

Qin Muxue supported him, "Shi Yan, what's wrong with you?"

"I feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Can you let me lean on you for a while?"

It seems that Shi Yan's mental strength has begun to weaken due to excessive consumption.

At this moment, Shi Yan revealed a smile that no one noticed. He lay peacefully on Qin Muxue's legs and closed his eyes.

Zhenzhu took the initiative to walk behind Qin Muxue, gave her a warm embrace, and signaled that they could lean on her.

Hiding in Pearl's arms was like hiding in a constant temperature blanket, and the coldness disappeared instantly.

"Pearl, your fur is so comfortable." Ding Manman couldn't help but want to roll around in it.

Pearl wagged her tail intermittently, looking very comfortable. Ding Manman would scratch her belly from time to time, and Pearl squinted her eyes comfortably.

After a fierce battle, everyone was a little tired.

Especially Wu You, it was the first time he encountered such a situation, and he was still a little scared, "Sister Qin, we won't be captured by that monster!"

"Don't worry! We are here and won't let you get caught."

While Shi Yan was asleep, Qin Muxue took out some food from the space and distributed it to everyone.

It is so important to have a portable space. You can carry food wherever you go. At least you don’t have to worry about starving to death.

Everyone ate sandwiches and drank milk and had a casual meal.

After eating, Wu You felt sleepy, and at the same time he smelled a strange fragrance.

After he fell into a deep sleep, when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was back in Taoyuan Village. No natural disasters had occurred at this time, and he was still playing in the fields with his friends.

And the sleeping Baozhu seemed to have returned to her happiest day, when Qin Muxue was dragging her for a walk in the fields.

Qin Muxue was also very surprised. She was clearly in the cabin just now, so how did she appear in Taoyuan Village now, and she was taking a walk with her dog.

Ding Manman's figure was seen not far away, "Xiaoxue, come back for dinner soon."

It's impossible. Even if it's a dream, it's all too real.
