"quick!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
The twins ran to close the safety windows of their bedroom and toy room respectively. Then the two little ones stood in the living room, hugging each other tightly. Their little faces were pale and tense, and their little bodies trembled with fear, their silence filled with intense terror.
Without stopping for a moment, Jiang Wan ran frantically and pressed down the safety shutters on all the remaining windows in the house.
But she was a step too slow; she only remembered to close the security window of the master bathroom at the very last minute, but by then it was too late!
All the other protective windows were closed, forming a tight physical protection system outside the building, leaving only the small window of the master bathroom as a weak gap!
This was the first time the twins had encountered such a situation. Even the usually calm and collected Jiang Xiaoshu was momentarily stunned. Like her sister, she clung tightly to her mother's legs, trembling with fear.
"Mom..." Jiang Xiaoxin was so scared she was about to cry, because she could clearly feel that the monster asparagus fern outside was laughing wildly! It was extremely smug!
"Hehehe, there are three here. Although two of them are a bit small, not even enough to fill a tooth gap, they are all superhumans! If I eat them, I can become even stronger, hehehe!"
Jiang Xiaoxin's body was trembling uncontrollably: "Waaah, I don't want to die, Mommy! It's going to eat us! Waaah, I'm so scared!"
He was so scared that he couldn't even speak coherently!
Jiang Wan herself was also very scared. In her previous life, she had witnessed firsthand how mutated plants could instantly devour a living person!
She scooped the twins into her arms and backed away step by step, while surveying her escape route, thinking that if things got really bad, she should run away as soon as possible!
She has an oxygen-storage RV and plenty of supplies, so surviving isn't a problem.
that is……
She frowned slightly. If this oxygen storage room was damaged, it would cost crystals to repair it, and crystals... were not so easy to obtain!
The two little ones clung tightly to her neck, and the three of them embraced and relied on each other at such close range for the first time.
As the dark green, purplish-red, scaly leaves passed the steadily descending protective window, they pierced the glass with a bloodthirsty force...
Jiang Wan made a snap decision, grabbed the two children, and ran away!
If we don't run, are we going to get eaten by the mutated plants?!
However, when she ran to the door, the expected sound of glass breaking did not occur...
She paused instinctively, turned around, and looked warily at the door of the master bedroom.
"Mom, it's dead!"
In her arms, Jiang Xiaoxin looked up happily, her face full of joy and relief, "The Asparagus Fern Monster is dead! It won't come to eat us anymore!"
What an innocent and silly child!
Jiang Wan couldn't help but pat her head, and walked into the master bedroom with some doubt. She looked at the bathroom, where the small glass window was intact, and the outer protective window had been completely closed.
She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and after being on edge for so long, she collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.
Jiang Xiaoxin hugged her mother's neck, buried her face in it, and gently patted it with one small hand, imitating how her mother used to comfort her, saying, "Mommy, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! That bamboo monster is dead, it won't come to eat us anymore!"
Jiang Xiaoshu, having long since reverted to her usual indifferent demeanor, climbed off her mother and stood to the side, looking at her silly younger sister's expression with a rather indescribable feeling!
Jiang Wan was also a little uncomfortable. She was not used to being so close to the twins, so she used the excuse of asking questions to take Jiang Xiaoxin off her and put her on the bed.
"Xin Xin, tell Mommy, how are you able to hear the Asparagus Fern Monster's thoughts?"
“I can hear it. It just said that my brother and I are superhumans.”
After saying that, Jiang Xiaoxin tilted her head and asked her with a puzzled look, "Mom, what is a superhuman?"
Jiang Wan's breath hitched, her gaze lingered on her for a moment, and finally landed on Jiang Xiaoshu.
She had very mixed feelings. She originally thought it was incredible enough that she had a hollow space in a dead tree, but she didn't expect that the twins she brought with her were not simple either.
She took a breath, trying to remain calm, and asked her twin brother, "Xiao Shu, Xin Xin's special ability is to sense the thoughts of plants, what about you?"
Jiang Xiaoshu glanced at her simple-minded younger sister, sighed inwardly, and then stretched out her left hand to show her the green light in her palm: "I don't know what this is for yet."
Jiang Wan stared at the green light in his palm for a long time before nodding, "Mm."
Then he asked Jiang Xiaoxin, "Can you still hear the thoughts of other plants now?"
Jiang Xiaoxin strained her senses and honestly shook her head: "No, I can't hear anything."
Jiang Wan roughly guessed that Jiang Xiaoxin was still young and her ability range was limited, so she could probably only hear the thoughts of mutated plants within a specific range!
That's good too. If she could hear the voices of all the mutated plants in the world, she, a small person, probably couldn't bear it.
Looking up, she saw Jiang Xiaoshu staring intently at her, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Mom, don't you think we're different?"
Although he was still young, he knew that normal humans did not have superpowers, which was why he did not approve of his sister telling their mother immediately after learning that they had superpowers.
"Of course not!" Jiang Wan wasn't usually a warm-hearted person, but at this moment, she couldn't help but smile gently.
"Because Mom is just like you!"
She winked at the twins, then flipped her hand, and suddenly a plate appeared in her palm, neatly arranged with several egg and vegetable pancakes, which she had fried earlier.
Seeing the twins smile with relief, she suddenly warned them in a deep voice, "But this is a secret between the three of us. We can't reveal this secret to anyone, or we'll all be in danger."
Just as Jiang Xiaoshu thought, there are still more normal people in this world, and they are indeed the odd ones out.
Jiang Xiaoxin was still confused, but Jiang Xiaoshu immediately understood and solemnly nodded, promising, "I understand, Mom. We will definitely keep this a secret!"
As he spoke, he firmly took his sister's hand, determined to give her a good talking-to later so that she would never again be so foolish as to tell people the secrets of their family of three!
Jiang Xiaoxin tilted her head and glanced at her brother, blinking her big eyes, thinking to herself, "She won't tell!"
The family of three, who survived the ordeal, were finally able to sit down at the table for a belated breakfast.
Meanwhile, inside the Yincheng Yazuo residential complex, a team of city guards, having just finished exterminating the mutated plants, was gathering.
Holding a document in his hand, Yu Fen ran towards Cheng Zhen, sweating profusely: "The occupancy rate of this community is not high, but there are quite a few mutated plants. Did you kill the Asparagus Fern Monster? Here, this is the task from above, it was just issued, take a look."
Cheng Zhen didn't answer, frowning as he looked at the 18th floor of Building 1. After a while, he suddenly said, "Damn it! Hurry upstairs!"
