Chapter 397 Crimson Vine



"That's right!"

Luo Yi suddenly thought of something and turned sharply to look at Shen Nanchuan, "Doesn't the Shen family have mutated plants? Why don't we let them go up to the city wall to help!"

Especially those vine-like plants; they can completely replace the ability users, and can even directly attack those monsters, greatly reducing our resource consumption.

"Do you think I haven't thought of this method?" Shen Nanchuan spread his hands and gave a bitter smile. "They simply don't listen to me."

"this......"

Luo Yi's eyes widened suddenly. He was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and asked in astonishment, "Then what are they doing here?"

"Chen Zheng told me that An An had explained the reasons in advance that allowed them to come with the main group."

Shen Nanchuan sighed softly, "So if we want to assign them tasks, we'll have to wait for An'an to come back."

"All right!"

Luo Yi sighed as well, "Hopefully they'll arrive soon, but—"

He leaned forward, past Shen Nanchuan, to ask Qiao Huaxi beside him, "What exactly did they go about?"

"It was scouting before, but now..." Qiao Huaxi shook her head, "I don't know."

As they were talking, a huge gray eagle swooped down from the clouds, circled once above them, and then turned and flew away.

"I'm not seeing things, am I? That's... Big Grey?"

Luo Yue rubbed her eyes, watching the gray eagle's departing figure, her eyes flashing with disbelief, "How did it get so big!"

"I don't know, but I do know that Nanxing and An'an have arrived!"

A smile unconsciously appeared on Shen Nanchuan's face. He took Qiao Huaxi's hand and hurriedly turned to walk down the watchtower.

Luo Yi and his sister, along with Chen Yang, quickly followed.

Just as Shen Nanxing and his group arrived at the gate of the Shen family's encampment, they encountered Shen Nanchuan and his group of five who had rushed over.

"Go south, safe and sound!"

Shen Nanchuan strode up to them and looked them over carefully.

Seeing that they were just a little tired and otherwise unharmed, their tense faces relaxed slightly.

"You brat, didn't you even send us a message? Do you know how worried we were about you!"

Shen Nanchuan punched Shen Nanxing on the shoulder in annoyance.

Shen Nanxing smiled wryly, silently accepting his elder brother's loving punch without offering any further explanation.

"Sister An'an, who is he?"

Luo Yue looked at Long Yuan curiously, a look of amazement flashing in her eyes. What a handsome young man!

"He is Long Yuan, Xiao Zhanzhan's older brother."

She got separated from Xiao Zhanzhan when the apocalypse broke out, and has been looking for her ever since. She just happened to run into us this time, so she came with us.

Jiang Nian'an gave a brief explanation.

Shen Nanchuan and the others looked at Long Yuan and Xiao Longzhan, who bore no resemblance whatsoever. Although they felt something was off, they didn't ask any further questions and greeted Long Yuan warmly.

Longyuan responded to each of them.

People were peering at them from all sides, most of whom were from other factions.

Shen Nanxing's eyes darkened slightly. "Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside!"

"Alright, your accommodations have been prepared long ago. I'll take you there!"

Shen Nanchuan immediately stepped forward to lead the way for them.

He had barely arrived at his destination, and before he could even sit down on the sofa, military personnel came to invite Shen Nanxing.

Shen Nanxing didn't leave in a hurry; he first sent Shen Nanchuan and the others away.

"An'an, you should rest well. I will tell the guards at the door not to let anyone disturb you."

Shen Nanxing half-squatted in front of the sofa, gently stroking Jiang Nian'an's face, his voice tender.

Jiang Nian'an nodded with a smile, and Shen Nanxing got up and left.

After taking a relaxing bath, Jiang Nian'an went back to her bedroom to rest.

The kids next door, Xiaolongzhan and his friends, were still playing around and making a huge fuss.

"Brother Longyuan, Xiao An, Xiao Yin, shall we go for a walk outside?"

Xiao Longzhan couldn't stay still for a moment. He leaned against the window, watching people come and go outside, and made an enthusiastic suggestion.

"Okay, this is a good opportunity to get familiar with the surroundings!"

Long Yuan thought the suggestion was good. He first took the three little ones into the bathroom to take a bath and change into clean clothes before taking them out.

The Shen family's encampment occupied the largest and best open space outside of the military's, with uniform tents neatly arranged together.

Some of the superhumans were lifting stones for exercise, some were running around the residential area, and many more were gathered in twos and threes talking.

"Little Zhanzhan!"

Just as they were about to leave the residential area, a voice suddenly called out to Xiao Longzhan.

Xiao Longzhan turned around and saw that it was Shen Qi.

"Brother Chen Qi!"

He immediately turned around and ran towards Shen Qi.

"Brother Chen Qi, what are you doing?"

Xiao Longzhan blinked, looking puzzled, at Shen Qi, whose hands were covered in mud and who had a large ditch at his feet.

"Hey, when we came out this time, the mutated plants were also distributed to each team. Our team was given a level 5 wood-type Crimson Vine."

Zheng asked me to take care of it, but I don't know what I did wrong, I angered it, and it burrowed into the ground and won't come out. I had no choice but to try and dig it out.

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Longzhan's lips twitched slightly. "Brother Chen Qi, you've really come up with a brilliant idea!"

Stop teasing me, and help me think of a solution!

Shen Qi looked at Xiao Longzhan with a bitter face and pitiful expression, "Otherwise, I'll be in big trouble when Brother Zheng comes back!"

"I'll give it a try!"

Long Yuan stepped forward, and under Shen Qi's scrutinizing gaze, lightly tapped the edge of the pit with his foot. "Come out!"

'brush--'

The next second, the crimson vine sprang out of the pit and obediently stayed at Longyuan's feet.

Long Yuan bent down and grabbed the crimson vine.

The crimson vine is three meters long and as thin as an index finger. Its entire body is a bright and captivating red, like a carefully carved ruby, shimmering with a faint light, which is very beautiful.

"Wow!"

Looking at the crimson vine that was being pulled by Long Yuan without any resistance, Shen Qi exclaimed in disbelief, "How did you manage to make it so obedient?"

"It's a secret~"

Long Yuan smiled but offered no explanation.

Although Shen Qi was very curious, he was a sensible person and did not press Long Yuan for an answer when he saw that Long Yuan did not want to talk about it.

"Here you go, it won't run away again, right?"

Long Yuan glanced down at the Crimson Vine, which trembled and nodded repeatedly.

"What a good child!"

Long Yuan gave a curt compliment and handed it to Shen Qi, who quickly took it.

The crimson vine curled up and wrapped tightly around Shen Qi's arm, burying its head directly into his clothes and hat, not daring to look at Long Yuan at all.

Shen Qi was completely baffled by the Crimson Vine's unusual behavior. "What's wrong with it?"

"I guess they felt bad for causing you trouble!"

Long Yuan glanced at the timid Crimson Vine and casually made up an excuse.

Does this guy get embarrassed too?

Shen Qi scratched the back of his head, muttering to himself.
