Inside a container truck outside the county seat.

The explosion rang out a kilometer away, but the superhumans in the action team sat calmly in the carriage, some sitting cross-legged on the ground, and some even forming a circle in the middle, playing cards with great interest, with a pile of crystal cores next to them as chips.

One of them, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, threw down a card: "Damn it, how much longer do we have to wait here? I need to go back."

"It should be soon."

The person next to him replied, "Once the explosions over there stop and all the explosives those idiots were carrying have detonated, then it'll be fine."

Hearing this, the man with the cigarette in his mouth became even more impatient and said irritably, "Tsk, damn it, they don't even know how to hurry up and die. After they're all dead, we still have to deal with the remaining zombies."

"Yeah—hey, stop talking, Captain Jia is here."

The person who spoke quickly patted his companion next to him, who then hurriedly exhaled the smoke, stubbed out the cigarette, and stood up, saying, "Captain Jia, you're here. What can I do for you?"

"No, I just came to see the brothers."

Jia Lan waved her hand, sat down to the side, and casually asked, "By the way, how's the matter I asked you to handle?"

"That woman?"

The superhuman who spoke thought for a moment: "It shouldn't be a problem, Captain Jia. Although we can't detect her location, so many people are looking for her, and with the explosions already started, she's probably been blown to bits by now and won't survive."

Upon hearing this, those around him echoed his sentiments.

Although Jia Lan was worried, seeing the explosions echoing throughout the county town, which seemed to be about to uproot the earth, she felt somewhat relieved: "That's good, you did a good job."

"Still playing cards?"

"Yes, Captain Jia, would you like to come along?"

"No, no."

Jia Lan waved her hand and leaned leisurely against the container. As long as Ruan Qing'an was dead, the knot in her heart would be untied, and Xu Wenshan and Lu Ting would not expose any flaws. She felt much more relaxed now.

But at this very moment—

A black figure suddenly landed in front of them, and Jia Lan's relaxed smile froze. She subconsciously turned her head away little by little.

On the open ground outside the container truck, amidst the flames of the explosion in the county town, a petite figure holding a long knife strolled over. The aftershocks of the explosives ruffled her hair, and her face was icy cold.

The sunlight fell, reflecting off the sharp blade, almost piercing Jia Lan's eyes. Her voice trembled slightly: "You..."

You're still alive?!

Before she could say anything, it was too late. In the instant the fierce wind swept past, the entire container was pierced through. Jia Lan felt a sharp pain in her abdomen as she was kicked straight into the container.

'Ding!'

The knife tip pierced the carriage next to his head.

Jia Lan turned deathly pale with fright, while the other superhumans were pushed far away by the impact, leaving her completely isolated and helpless.

Seeing the cold expression on Ruan Qing'an's face as she lowered her eyes, Jia Lan's throat tightened with fear. She wasn't a pure combatant, but she didn't think there should be such a huge gap between her and Ruan Qing'an. How could... how could he not be a match for her?!

Ruan Qingan raised an eyebrow: "You seem quite surprised to see me. Did you think I died in the explosion?"

"Heh, heh heh..."

Jia Lan gave an awkward smile: "How could that be?"

But whether she admits it or not, Ruan Qing'an already knew what kind of person this woman was, and sneered: "Captain Jia, this is no fun. You've wanted me dead for a long time."

"Now that I've finally finished my business, it's time to properly settle things between the two of us."

"You've come up with all sorts of underhanded tricks. Are you really that worried that I'll expose your psychic abilities, how you seduced two leaders into becoming your subjects, and how you're using them for personal gain?"

The people with superpowers weren't actually that far away. Jia Lan suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking at her with almost horrified eyes: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."

Ruan Qing'an paused, the blade stuck in the carriage slightly shifting, pressing against Jia Lan's neck: "I didn't take your petty tricks seriously, and they're really not worth my time, because do you know a saying?"

“One force can overcome ten techniques. You can make a move countless times, and I can take the hits countless times, but you have to be careful—if I make a move even once, you might lose your life.”

"For example, like this now."

The blade grazed Jia Lan's neck, drawing a thin line of blood. Her face turned deathly pale. Just then—"Let go of Captain Jia!"

The superhumans who had been repelled rushed forward, looking like warriors rescuing a princess from a dragon, as if Nguyen Thanh An were the wicked "dragon."

Lightning, fire, frost...

All sorts of supernatural abilities emerged one after another, all attacking Ruan Qing'an!

Ruan Qing'an's eyes darkened slightly, and she kicked Jia Lan in the abdomen again. Then she lightly leaped backward and landed outside the attack range.

"Phew... what a troublesome bunch of people."

She paused, closed her eyes briefly, gripped the hilt of the knife with one hand, and a sharp aura emanated from her, as if she could cleave the entire world in two.

Before she could act, countless thick vines burst forth from the ground, blocking out all those people. Eleven, who had followed closely behind, stood behind her, half-embracing her.

"Why didn't you kill her?"

"Wait, could she be the female lead? I almost forgot, you're a mission taker. Killing the female lead with your own hands could violate the Bureau's regulations. Although it won't have a big impact on you, it's still relatively troublesome."

Ruan Qingan paused: "I've killed quite a few people, but I think she should have been disgraced first, rather than dying so easily."

Shi Yi nodded slightly, showing no intention of refuting her words. He raised his hand to block Ruan Qing'an: "Let me handle the rest. At least I'll still be of some use."

"you……"

Ruan Qingan paused, somewhat flustered.

To be fair, although Shiyi and Zhou Ziqi look about 60% alike, their personalities are completely different—Zhou Ziqi watches her do things while he watches the show; Shiyi, on the other hand, likes to do things herself and let her watch the show.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that both of them liked to put their arms around her.

Nguyen Thanh An: Am I a new type of humanoid body pillow?

Meanwhile, under Eleven's control, the thick root system surged again, like a mad giant snake, and the entire sky was dyed a strange and mysterious dark green.

Through the gaps in the intertwined vines, Jia Lan, enduring the pain, saw Ruan Qing'an being half-embraced by a tall, slender man.

Her face contorted for a moment as the vines surged towards her—

"Run!"

"This man is a monster!!!"

Led by Jia Lan, all the superhumans turned and ran, completely terrified, fleeing for their lives.

However, those surging "giant snakes," like deadly demons, viciously stabbed out, leaving behind gaping, blood-stained holes. Lifeless people were carelessly discarded aside like rag dolls, while the mutated plants that had absorbed the blood of the superhumans grew stronger once again.

Jia Lan was already terrified.

She fled hastily, her superpowers operating wildly. She even disregarded her injuries as she ran. The explosives she had prepared beforehand became her only means of escape after all the other superpowered individuals were wiped out.

But when they discovered she had escaped quite a distance—

Eleven's dark green eyes flickered slightly: "As expected of the female lead, she actually has the power to resist. That's quite interesting."

"Qing'an, wait a moment."

Eleven nodded to Ruan Qing'an, then quickly darted forward using its spreading roots to chase after Jia Lan.

Ruan Qing'an wanted to call out to him, but Er Kang's outstretched hand froze in mid-air—Shi Yi was too fast, as if he was dissatisfied that Jia Lan had managed to escape his attack.

Having finally escaped the range of the memory, Jia Lan was in a terrible state. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized no more vines were attacking her, but—

When she turned around, she saw a black dot rapidly approaching!

"!!!"

Jia Lan: Damn it, is this never going to end?!

But when she realized it was Shiyi, the little courage she had mustered vanished instantly. Just as the vines were about to wrap around her, she instinctively screamed—

"Are you interested in Ruan Qing'an? Otherwise, why would you help her? I... I know she has a lover at the base!"

"Whoosh—"

The fierce wind paused.
