With the occasional attacks of zombies and mutated beasts eliminated, a group of superhumans walking in the apocalypse was almost like going on a picnic.
When Lin Xuan first came to City A, she took all sorts of detours and monster-fighting, and it took her more than half a month to get there.
On this trip back to D City, we took the highway the whole way. When we encountered abandoned vehicles that were being intercepted, the superpowered individuals used their various abilities to eliminate them.
The mutated plants were trapped under the ice and could not thrive.
We'll be arriving in City D in less than three days.
On the third day, the convoy was traveling on a coastal expressway leading to City D.
To the left is the sea, in the middle is a highway, and to the right is a cypress forest.
Before the apocalypse, this place was a popular spot for online influencers, with incredibly soothing scenery.
The seawater here is now very dark, even somewhat dirty, and the waves are surging in the biting cold wind.
The once clean and distinctive pebble beach is now covered with a layer of disgusting frozen slime.
The road shows no signs of human construction; the coastline, road surface, and forest blend together to form an uneven, undulating landscape.
The ride on this road was exceptionally bumpy.
The members of the Song of Ice and Fire team leaned against the waist-high car window to look at the sea.
"I've been here once before. The sea was so blue, and when the breeze blew, it felt really cool."
That accent—you don't even need to turn around to know it's Gundam.
"Gundam, how about I open the window for you to get some fresh air and get a feel for the pre-apocalyptic world? Hahahaha."
Lu Zhengping spoke hesitantly.
"Go ahead, go ahead! With this little northwest wind blowing, oh my god, it feels so good!"
Gao Da and Lu Zhengping got along well, joking around with each other without getting angry.
"When I see the sea, I think of the octopus sea monster we encountered at the port."
Su Ye said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, that octopus monster, oh my, that head."
Gundam sat back in his seat.
"That's so exciting! Such a huge octopus, with such a big tentacle. It would be delicious to make takoyaki with it, hahaha..."
Su Ye amused himself, slapping his thigh repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, that octopus monster might actually taste pretty good."
"Cut off just one leg, and it'll be enough for us to eat for a long time."
The team members chimed in, chatting and laughing, completely unaware that the road surface beneath the wheels had begun to crack.
"If we encounter that octopus monster again, let's cut off one of its legs and have a taste."
As soon as Su Ye finished speaking, the car began to shake violently.
Just as the occupants sat up to prepare for the attack, the car was flipped over and thrown into the air.
Jin Hai, a speed-type superhuman, quickly opened the car window and jumped out.
Immediately afterward, the team members closest to the windows also jumped out of the windows as the vehicle rolled over.
The vehicle was still spinning in the air when Xia Feng scooped up Lin Xuan and rammed into it.
Before the two landed, Lin Xuan quickly extended the invisible vines that had been dormant within her body.
The vines grew rapidly towards the cypress grove, casually wrapping around a tree and pulling the two of them over.
The vehicle spun several times before landing with a loud bang, completely deforming itself, and half of the occupants were still trapped inside.
It's not a big problem. As we all know, a car that spins 3600 degrees in the air and lands will not cause any injuries.
The superhumans in the car had all honed their skills to extraordinary levels through battles against mutated plants and animals in the apocalypse.
They quickly crawled out of the car, but before they could even get their footing, they were thrown into the air again.
Some were thrown into the forest, while others rose and fell in place, creating a lively scene like a shower of petals.
Lin Xuan used vines to weave a net, intercepting the captain and several people who were not sure if they were from her team.
The person was safely and steadily transported to the ground station.
As soon as Gu Xinghuo regained his balance, he immediately looked towards the sea.
The scene before him made him want to curse.
He yelled at the ruined highway and the scattered team members, "Su Ye, is your mouth blessed with some kind of magic?!"
The culprit behind this disaster is a mutated octopus monster that has almost filled the entire coastline in the distant sea.
The octopus only showed its dark blue round head and half of its black eyes above the surface of the sea.
They were just traveling on the two tentacles of an octopus that were blocking the highway.
The tentacles were buried under ice, soil, and gravel, and because the area they covered was so large, they hadn't even noticed them.
Its tentacles surged, slowly pulling up the parts buried on the shore.
One of its arms, when raised, could be as tall as a fifty-story building.
As the octopus's tentacles rose from the ground, a massive surge of seawater rushed in, flooding the deep trench left behind and forming a trench that cut across the middle of the road.
The humans who were thrown into the air looked like tiny ants compared to these enormous tentacles.
Many people were thrown high into the air and then fell directly into the trench.
The temperature was below minus forty degrees Celsius, the seawater was icy cold, and their clothes were heavy. Luckily, they were all superhumans, otherwise they would have been dead long ago.
Swimming vigorously toward the forest, Gu Xinghuo also quickly ran in this direction to meet up with the team members.
Lin Xuan did not climb down the tree, but stretched out the vines inside her body, reaching towards the trench with all her might.
With a thought, the vines lost their transparency and began to show a light green color from the roots, gradually covering the entire vine.
A year is enough time for Lin Xuan to understand the properties of the vines that have become one with her.
Changing color and appearing is a piece of cake.
The vines split into two, protecting Gu Xinghuo as she ran.
"Swim this way, hurry, hurry, this way..."
Gu Xinghuo shouted loudly.
The seawater at the edge of the trench freezes, and the frozen portion gradually pushes towards the people who have fallen into the water.
Vines also extended from both sides of Gu Xinghuo's body, chasing the frozen water surface and reaching towards the people who had fallen into the water.
The people who fell into the water quickly swam to the steps formed by the ice, grabbed the vines that were handed to them, and with the help of the vines, they all made it to shore.
"Hurry, hurry, run into the woods, run!"
Gu Xinghuo waved to direct the people toward Lin Xuan.
Snake Woman Huang Xiaoyu struggled to doggy paddle behind the group. She wasn't a good swimmer, and after paddling for a long time, she was still in the same spot, but she did swallow a lot of seawater.
Gao Da had already climbed ashore, but when he looked back and saw Huang Xiaoyu still spinning around in the same spot, even showing signs of sinking to the bottom, he immediately plunged back into the water.
He swam to Huang Xiaoyu's side, put his arm around her neck, and kicked towards the shore.
The mutated octopus's tentacles were quickly flung back, and before Gao Da and Huang Xiaoyu could swim to the shore, the enormous creature slowly crashed down behind them.
Huang Xiaoyu was held by Gao Da, her head tilted back, watching helplessly as the giant octopus tentacles approached, their shadows enveloping the two of them.
"Gundam, don't worry about me, just run!" She tried to pry the arm locked around her neck, but Gundam had a strength ability, and she couldn't budge the solid arm at all.
Gundam didn't say anything, it just kept swimming forward with all its might.
The enormous tentacles were about to smash into them, and Huang Xiaoyu closed her eyes in despair.
What I was thinking was, "It's over, it's over, I'm doomed. My life is over before I've even had a relationship or experienced the pain of being hurt by a jerk."
