Because it had rained, the road was very difficult to walk on, very muddy, and your shoes were very heavy with mud.
Everyone had to stop and scrape the mud off their shoes before continuing.
"Sigh, who would have thought that walking could be so tiring? And to make matters worse, it started raining. If it hadn't rained, we would have already covered more than half the distance by now."
Gao Qi used a stick as a crutch to support himself as he walked, feeling that if he stopped now, he would never be able to move forward again.
"Say less, talking takes a lot of energy." Zhou Yuan patted his arm, his breathing heavy as he spoke.
At this moment, no one dared to say they weren't tired. If only they could use their superpowers, they could just have a speed-type superpowered person carry them flying. Just thinking about it was wonderful.
Two hours later, after many stops and starts, they finally arrived at supply point number 2, each took a set of supplies, and continued on their way.
The team behind them had been hungry for a day because they hadn't reached supply point number 1 before.
They really didn't expect that supply point number 2 would be so far away, and they certainly didn't expect to encounter such a heavy rainstorm, so they changed their route and headed towards supply point number 2.
However, they had been hungry all day, so their stamina was a bit lacking. Because of this, the Licheng team and the Haicheng team had already taken a big lead over them.
Even the Yangcheng team, which had only separated yesterday, received the supplies before them and continued their advance.
Fang Xiyue kept observing the trees around her, and she felt that everything seemed too peaceful.
Since the beginning of the apocalypse, she has only seen the mutated rat and that level-three cactus once, and it seems that she has not seen any other mutated plants or animals.
The more this is the case, the more dangerous it seems! After all, what we can't see or perceive is the most dangerous.
"Everyone be careful, there must be mutated plants and animals in the mountains, and they are not low-level."
If they have been evolving and upgrading during this period, they may have already broken through to level 2.
"yes."
Hearing Fang Xiyue's words, everyone became even more cautious, and Zhao Liang dared not stop releasing his mental energy for even a moment.
"Captain, there are a lot of vines ahead, and they don't look like ordinary plants."
Zhao Liang walked directly to the front and told Jun Nanxuan what he had seen.
But the road ahead was the only one they had to take. If they took another road, they would have to go a long way around, and they weren't even sure if they would encounter mutated plants if they took a detour.
"Attention everyone, there may be mutated plants ahead. Be careful, survival is the priority! If we can't defeat them, we'll take a detour."
People have a natural tendency to test things out; they feel regretful if they don't try, because what if it passes by too easily?
Taking a detour will involve a lot of unnecessary travel, and you might arrive before you've even reached the halfway point, so try it first. If it doesn't work, then you'll have to take a detour.
Everyone nodded seriously, and Song Yifan also gave his teammates very earnest instructions.
The two groups started walking in that direction, but they were attacked by vines shortly after they got there.
The vines snaked and stretched out, attacking the superhumans. They were fast and agile.
The speed-type ability users from both teams quickly grabbed onto their team's healing ability users, ready to dodge at any moment.
The others began to use their powers to fight back against the vines' attacks, with flames, frost, and wind blades intertwining.
The vines were burned by flames, frozen by frost, and cut by wind blades, but they seemed unfazed. If they were broken, they would continue to grow, and if they were frozen, other vines would take their place.
They have only one goal: to kill any prey that intrudes into their territory, and their attacks are relentless.
After battling the vines for nearly half an hour, Fang Xiyue kept cutting them with her Ice Soul Sword, but to no avail. It seemed she had to find the location of the crystal core.
"Nanxuan, let's go find its main body and pry out the crystal core, otherwise none of us will be able to get through."
Fang Xiyue turned to Jun Nanxuan, who was standing back to back with her, and said.
"Okay." Jun Nanxuan nodded, said something to Ye Zimo, and the two of them headed towards the direction from which the vines were coming.
At this moment, Chu Xingyan arrived with his Yangcheng team and, seeing the situation, quickly offered his assistance.
He looked around but couldn't see Fang Xiyue anywhere, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Ye Ziming, where's Yueyue?"
Chu Xingyan hurriedly ran to Ye Zimo, who was closest to him, to ask. They usually called Ye Zimo "Brother Mo," but in their anxiety, they called him by his name directly.
"They went to find the vine's main body. Since you're here, I'll go help!"
As he spoke, Ye Zimo ran in the direction where Fang Xiyue and Jun Nanxuan had disappeared.
Chu Xingyan and Song Yifan exchanged a glance and followed after him. They couldn't feel at ease until they could see the person.
If they're going to die, they'd rather die together! Of course, they'd prefer to live! Live together!
They didn't believe that a mutated plant could be so troublesome.
At this moment, the main force also caught up, and upon seeing the situation here, they all instinctively retreated.
But the vines were clearly enraged and began to attack indiscriminately, with more vines flying out to attack the newly arrived contestants.
"Run! Run!"
Zhang Bo was originally at the front of the group, but when he turned to run, he was blocked by the people behind him.
Unable to dodge in time, he was directly entangled by the vines, which tightly wrapped around his body and dragged him to the ground.
Zhang Bo's face and arms rubbed directly against the ground, causing immediate bleeding. The wounds were filled with mud, exacerbating the pain.
Zhang Bo struggled desperately, but the vines were too strong for him to break free. Fear gripped his mind, and he even forgot that he was a superhuman.
"Zhang Bo, use your ice-type superpowered sword to attack it!"
Zhang Bo's teammates didn't want to save him, but they were also entangled in the vines, so all they could do was shout loudly, hoping to bring Zhang Bo back to his senses.
But Zhang Bo was completely terrified and couldn't hear what his teammates were shouting. He was struggling in vain.
"Zhang Bo, press withdraw! Press withdraw!"
Some teammates were extremely anxious. They could give up the championship, but they couldn't let anyone fall here. They shouted themselves hoarse, but Zhang Bo didn't make a move.
He'll die if this continues! Those present struggled against the vines in an attempt to save Zhang Bo.
On the other side, Mu Yunfan was desperately cutting the vines with his golden longsword. He had been searching for a long time but had not seen Fang Xiyue's shadow, nor even the shadows of her four husbands.
He was extremely anxious, fearing that something had happened to them.
He quickly headed towards the Licheng team to see if he could get any useful information.
Leng Yu followed suit immediately. She was just as anxious as Mu Yunfan. Fang Xiyue was one of her few friends, and she couldn't ignore her.
Fang Xiyue and the others, whom the two were worried about, were currently fighting against the main body of the vines.
It was an enormous man-eating flower, as tall as three people. The huge flower opened its blood-red maw and kept attacking the six people below. The size difference was enormous.
