Chapter 168 Plants Begin to Mutate

Mu Cheng was helpless, but she didn't have much time to explain, so she continued, "Aunt, Big Brother, after the end of the world, a lot of things happened around me. I'll tell you about these things later. Anyway, I don't like Cheng Jiang anymore, and I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."

Su Ziyu looked at Mu Cheng with a puzzled look on his face. "What's going on? Weren't you..."

Mu Cheng said anxiously, "Brother, don't ask anymore. The most important thing now is to ask Aunt to cancel the engagement between me and Cheng Jiang. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for Uncle and Brother."

My uncle hasn't come back today, so let my aunt go find Cheng Hongwei's parents. Cheng Jiang has no way to find any evidence against them, and he can't make a fuss about this matter.

But if it continues to drag on, Cheng Jiang or Commander Wang will take advantage of this incident and spread rumors that the Su family forced their niece to break off the engagement with her fiancé for their own benefit.

Such rumors will have a serious impact on my uncle and my eldest brother. If the other party handles it well, the father and son may even choose to retire in order not to implicate the commander's faction.

Mu Cheng didn't want to think so badly of everyone, but Cheng Jiang deliberately spread the fact that he and she were engaged, which proved that they wanted to use her relationship with him to make a fuss. In order to successfully cancel the engagement with Cheng Jiang, for the sake of her uncle and elder brother, she must immediately ask her aunt to come forward and cancel the engagement with Cheng Hongwei and his wife.

"This..." Mu Yueqin looked at Su Ziyu with embarrassment.

"Okay, let's go now." Su Ziyu stood up. Although he didn't know why Mu Cheng suddenly changed her mind, he had originally looked down on Cheng Jiang. Now that the girl took the initiative to propose to cancel the engagement, he wished that the girl and Cheng Jiang would break up completely.

The three of them walked downstairs together. Just as they reached the living room, they heard shouting outside.

"ah!"

"Oh my god! The roots are moving."

The three heard the sound and hurried out. Xu He retreated to the corner with her son in her arms, looking terrified. Bai Chen and his sister stood far away with pale faces. Several soldiers had no expression on their faces, but they looked very scared. They also stood far away with shovels in their hands and did not dare to get close.

Mu Cheng took a look at the big tree that had been dug up. The roots of the tree were particularly thick, and now each root was twisting like an earthworm. Some of the dug roots were even oozing red and green liquid.

This scene looks really weird.

"Could this tree have become a spirit?" Xu He muttered softly, and took a few steps back in fear.

"It's not a spirit, it's just mutated." Mu Cheng remained calm, unaffected. She raised her hand and threw out a ball of fire. The tree was set on fire, making a few squeaks. The roots struggled for a few seconds before being burned into a piece of charcoal.

What is this?

She had seen even scarier things, plants that ate people and sucked blood with their roots. Compared to those, the thing in front of her was just a small minion.

Bai Xu looked at Mu Cheng and asked hesitantly, "Zhizhi... can plants mutate?"

"Yeah! I've encountered this before in Huai County." He responded and said to Su Ziyu, "Most of the plants in the yard must have mutated. We need to get rid of them quickly. Big brother, you'd better find a few fire-type mutants to come over and burn all the plants."

Mu Cheng's cold voice woke up Su Ziyu, who had been stunned for a long time. He immediately ordered with a serious face, "Immediately arrange for a fire-type mutant to come and clean up the plants in the yard."

After making the arrangements, he looked at Mu Yueqin and said, "Mom, I must report the plants' mutation immediately. There are many plants in the base and they must be dealt with immediately, otherwise it will bring about a major disaster. So I won't accompany you to find Cheng Jiang."
