A powerful third-tier ability user like Li Zhi is considered one of the most outstanding individuals among ordinary people.
That's why he was able to turn this town into a paradise where only they lived.
Unfortunately, they ran into the Bai family.
Under the same energy level, water will ultimately overcome fire.
Although Grandpa Bai Zhengxuan is a level three ability user (water, wood, fire), he has not neglected any of the ability training.
The elderly have a very simple mindset: they just don't want to cause trouble for the younger generation.
The world is in the apocalypse, and the living environment is even more harsh.
Unlike Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Liu, who lived carefree lives, he had family.
We're getting old, we can't be a burden to our families.
Besides these, what he least wanted to see was an elderly person outliving their child.
After hearing Bai Yifan recount Bai Xizhu's nightmare, Bai Zhengxuan could imagine what he and his wife would do if something really happened!
It's alright if he dies, what he can't accept is watching his juniors die one by one in front of him.
While at the Fire Phoenix Security Base, he would go out and have fun with Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu during the day, enjoying the good old age.
At night, he diligently absorbed the crystal cores, hoping to protect the children.
Bai Zhengxuan looked at the young face in front of him, shook his head slightly, and showed no mercy. In the middle of the powerful current, the tender green ivy rushed towards Li Zhi with the current.
The water flow grew stronger, extinguishing the flames enveloping Li Zhi.
The mutated ivy's lush green leaves became incredibly sharp, and following the water flow, they instantly wrapped around Li Zhi's body.
The green vines suddenly grew rapidly, splitting into even more lush green tendrils, and rushed directly towards the boys behind Li Zhi.
"Ah! What is this?!"
"Damn it! Cut those vines down!"
The boys brandished their knives, but they couldn't cut through the vines no matter what they did; they could only watch helplessly as the vines bound them up.
The sharp leaves cut through the skin, revealing streaks of blood, from which blood slowly flowed out.
Compared to the injuries on the victim's body, these minor injuries are relatively minor.
Bai Zhengxuan had always been an old man who loved children, and for the first time, he showed no mercy.
More and more vines grew, eventually binding all the boys together. The more they struggled, the more vines clung to their bodies, and the more wounds they sustained.
"ah--"
The victim, who was huddled in a corner of the yard, suddenly shouted out loud, his eyes fixed on the teenagers.
The blank stare in his eyes finally became less confused, and gradually, a hint of resentment appeared.
The demons were no longer able to move freely, yet they still dared not approach, only glaring fiercely.
“You are free now. When we came here, we saw a lot of cars in the town. There should be plenty of cars available. If you can go home, then go home! If you can’t find your way home, you can head north. There is a safe base there.”
Bai Zhengxuan spoke gently to the wounded victims, then retrieved the section of the ivy that belonged to him and wrapped it around his wrist.
They seemed not to hear Bai Zhengxuan's words, their eyes fixed on the boys lying on the ground bound by vines, their fingers clenched tightly together.
Blood dripped from his fingers onto the ground without him noticing.
The Bai family silently walked through the courtyard and searched the small building, only finding the badly injured victim, but no one else.
In addition, several pure energy crystals were also seen.
These pure energy crystals are all taken from people's heads. This must be the method Li Zhi mentioned for quickly improving superpowers!
Once they were sure no one else was there, the Bai family quietly left.
Just as they stepped out of the gate, a scream echoed from the courtyard.
The screams seemed to be a signal, and for a moment, screams rose and fell.
The Bai family paused for a moment, said nothing, silently found the skateboard in the corner, stepped on the skateboard, and skated away towards the bus.
The road remained deserted, with neither zombies nor humans.
Only dilapidated cars parked alone by the roadside and traces of human habitation remain.
From then on, there was no one left in the entire town who belonged there.
Once outside the town, the Bai family members took off their protective suits outside the bus and burned the suits, which were covered in black powder, to ashes.
Holding my breath, I quickly boarded the bus, closed the door, turned on the air purification system, and then gasped for air.
"Phew—" Bai Yifan breathed a long sigh of relief, looking towards the town, and said softly, "If only it would rain heavily to wash away all that black blood, otherwise it would pollute the air too much."
"It's sunny every day, who knows when it'll rain heavily!"
Bai Zhengxuan looked at the sunset in the west and shook his head slightly.
It was already evening, but the weather was still so hot, and there wasn't a single dark cloud in the sky. It certainly didn't look like it was going to rain heavily.
"Grandpa, aren't you a water, wood, and fire elementalist? Just send down a heavy rain and wash this all clean!"
Bai Yifan blinked, speaking with a serious expression.
In his eyes, everyone in his family is quite capable, whether it's his grandfather or his older sister, they are all very competent!
Bai Zhengxuan looked at the endless, dark town and almost choked on his breath.
Just thinking about such heavy rain could kill him!
"I can't do it!" Bai Zhengxuan waved his hand. "If I could do something so incredible, I'd celebrate by not eating for three days!"
