The invisible vines twisted and turned, gently summoning the light veins within the mutated plant. Light green light spots responded to the summons and surrounded Lin Xuan.
The tentacle-like vines tentatively touched the light spots, gently rubbing back and forth...
"Ah!" The tentacle swallowed a speck of light.
Lin Xuan suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Why------------?"
What's going on? She actually has a really delicious taste!
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" After a few more bites, the Invisible Vine devoured all the surrounding light spots and swayed wildly with joy.
A surge of pure energy coursed through Lin Xuan's body, giving her a feeling of satisfaction, like she had just finished a meal.
She didn't know if other wood-type ability users could absorb the energy of mutated plants like she did. In her previous life, she wasn't an ability user and didn't know much about this.
However, now there is another way to absorb energy, which is a very exciting discovery.
Lin Xuan happily shook her head as Xia Feng carried her, and seeing her adorable little face, he couldn't help but give her another kiss.
Wipe her mouth! Ugh, so annoying, did her brother not shave this morning? It's prickly and hurts.
The cloaking vine continued to lure the tiny specks of light within the plants, and Lin Xuan continued her "coughing and groaning!"
She discovered that plant energy is gentler and easier to absorb than crystal energy, and her body was saturated with it in no time.
Fearing an accident, I quickly retrieved the invisibility vine, which I was still enjoying. Be careful, and don't be as reckless as your older brother. Little Bao, drink in moderation and be mindful of the energy you absorb.
They drove on and off, and around noon, the group surprisingly turned back onto the highway.
The road ahead had clearly been cleared by human intervention; there were no abandoned vehicles or haphazardly growing mutant plants, and it was very clear.
People speculated that the conservation station might have hired someone to clean it up.
If the roads were clear, there was hope of reaching the base that night, so all the vehicles stepped on the gas and sped off.
At noon, everyone ate some biscuits and snacks. Zhou Xinran brought some food and water to Du Mingliang's side.
They haven't had any food since yesterday, and Zhou Xinran has been providing them with relief. They haven't managed to kill any mutated beasts along the way.
Peng Yu completely obeyed Zhou Xinran's orders. Zhou Lerui didn't care; she could always find a way to get food from Lin Xuan. Cao Zhiyong could only keep his opinions to himself no matter how much he objected.
Neither the items he brought from the villa nor the supplies Xia Feng later distributed to them at the service area had anything to do with him.
In the afternoon, Xia Feng took over driving, and Lin Xuan continued her mukbang from the passenger seat. After the Invisible Vine had consumed a lot of plant energy points, Lin Xuan found that she couldn't eat as much as before.
When she first awakened her invisibility wood-type ability, she was terrified by her own appetite and worried that the supplies she had collected might not be enough for her and her brother, two big eaters.
With plant-based energy supplements, I feel much more at ease. It's not that eating too much is a problem, but rather that the solid feeling of fullness that plant-based energy brings is incomparable to any amount of food intake.
She told Xia Feng about her ability to absorb energy clusters from plants, and Xia Feng also felt that there was still a lot of room for development in her ability.
"Perhaps you can try to control the direction of these supernatural light spots when your own energy is abundant." He took the cold chicken noodle roll that Xiaobao couldn't finish from his mouth and swallowed it in two bites.
Wow, it's pretty spicy.
"Or we could observe what changes would occur if the energy points inside the plant were drawn out of the body."
Lin Xuan nodded. Her brother's suggestion had given her some new ideas, and she would try it out when she had time.
The convoy didn't take a break at noon, so she fed her brother some ready-made rice balls and steamed buns that she had prepared before the trip.
When I felt almost full, I took out two more cups of fruit tea to drink.
"What flavor is yours?" Before the apocalypse, Xia Feng rarely ate snacks or drank beverages. After the apocalypse, thanks to Lin Xuan's mukbang videos in the passenger seat, he unlocked many things he had never eaten before.
Lin Xuan was surprised to find that her brother loved snacks and milk tea.
Hilarious! Does his brother think that only instant noodles and biscuits are junk food?
That's right, in Xia Feng's mind, instant noodles are the worst food in the world, practically poisonous.
The reason is that Lin Xuan didn't like to eat when she was a child and was always picky about food, but she had a special fondness for instant noodles.
Her mother, Ms. Ye, was a nurse, and this profession made her even more disgusted with instant noodles and other fast food.
So every time Xia Feng came to take care of Lin Xuan while he was working the night shift, he would tell him not to buy instant noodles for Lin Xuan.
Over time, Xia Feng subconsciously came to believe that instant noodles were poisonous and should not be given to Xiao Bao.
As Lin Xuan grew older, I relaxed my control over her eating instant noodles a little, but I still didn't let her eat too much.
"Mine is passion fruit flavored." Xia Feng made this fruit tea for me before we set off. It was filled with lots of ice, and it was sweet and sour, cool and refreshing, perfect for a hot day.
"Let me have a taste." Xia Feng finished his own cup in a few gulps.
Lin Xuan quickly held up the cup and handed the straw to Xia Feng's lips.
"Hmm, this is delicious too." Xia Feng took a sip, and half the cup was gone.
Smacking her lips, she wasn't satisfied and dared not drink any more of Xiao Bao's. The child was already pouting, and she was afraid of pissing him off.
"By the way, don't throw this cup away. Collect it later, and I'll use my superpower to reassemble it so it can be reused."
"Huh?" Really? Lin Xuan didn't expect her brother's superpower to have such an environmentally friendly use. It's really something.
Around 5 p.m., after speeding for more than four hours, we started to see other vehicles around us, so the protection station should be not far away.
Finally, a prominent sign came into view in the distance.
S Province Temporary Survivor Protection Base, exit the highway at the next intersection, go straight for 700 meters and turn left.
