"But the cult leader was cunning and shrewd, and the young girl was quickly arrested. In order to make an example of her, the cult leader decided to burn the girl and the mutated plant in public."

"After the thousand-year-old banyan tree evolved self-awareness, it regarded all the mutated plants in the city as its own offspring. Upon learning that its offspring were to be burned to death by the humans it had protected for so many years, it immediately flew into a rage, killed the leader of the Holy Light Cult, and joined forces with all the mutated plants in the city to drive all humans out of Shahe City."

"Later, at the girl's and the mutated plant's urging, the mutated banyan tree king changed his mind and decided to only drive the men out of the city."

"The reason there were no women on the escape route was because the women were all staying comfortably in the city."

Banxia couldn't help but wonder, as this person's words were completely different from those of the previous group of survivors.

"I heard that all the soldiers and superhumans in the city were killed by the mutated banyan tree?"

The man smiled wryly: "This is a fabrication by the Holy Light Cult members to trick unsuspecting people into causing trouble for the mutated banyan tree king. In reality, the soldiers and superhumans were simply locked up by it so that it wouldn't bother them."

Banxia inwardly cheered. No wonder these men fell silent when she asked about the woman's whereabouts. It seems they knew their previous actions were wrong!

"However," Banxia asked curiously, "why did your brother say you were courting death when he tried to stop you?"

Did someone forbid this from being spoken of? If she knew who it was, she would definitely take their head.

The man shrugged: "This is too disgraceful. To tell the truth is like tearing off the fig leaf of all the men in Shahe City. They must want to beat me to death. I'm just one person, and I can't fight against so many people. Isn't this just courting death?"

Banxia's lips twitched, and she handed over the remaining half basket of buns: "The other half of the payment."
