Chapter 12 The end of the world has come, and no one will be spared.
Jiang Jie opened the car door and felt the morning air. He felt that the temperature seemed a little lower today. Although it was not as hot as in a car with air conditioning on, there was still a feeling of heat hitting his face.
He remembered that this abnormally high temperature would not last long and would gradually return to normal summer temperature after a while.
Lin Mian, who had just finished washing up, came over and stood behind him, asking him what he wanted to eat.
Jiang Yan turned around and said, "Let's eat some fast food. After that, we'll leave as soon as possible and arrive in City Y before noon."
Lin Mian nodded when he heard this. There were quite a few instant food buckets in the car, such as vegetable porridge, spicy and sour noodles, which were also suitable for breakfast.
He turned around and prepared to boil some hot water.
“Ah! What is this?!!”
“Young Master!!”
A scream came from the nanny car not far away, and the door was suddenly opened. Two tall and strong men jumped out from inside, posing a vigilant posture towards the car.
A green vine stretched out from the door of the car, twisting irregularly and hitting the door with a snapping sound.
It was also accompanied by the panicked voices of the young people inside.
"Why would something like this come out of my body?!!"
"Help me catch it!"
The two people under the car looked at each other, not daring to move.
The main reason is that this twisting vine is too similar to those alien creatures. For a moment, I didn't dare to get close to it. Who knows if it will suddenly pierce through me like those things.
Jiang Jie leaned leisurely against the car door and watched the show. Now he knew why the person in the car had a fever.
Lin Mian stuck his head out from beside him and saw vines coming out of the wide-open car door from a distance. He shrank back a little in fear, "Is that an Altered Thing? Should we leave quickly?"
Jiang Yan looked at him sideways, raised his hand and put it on his head, pushing him back into the car. "It's not a big deal. Go boil some water."
Seeing him so calm and composed, he probably knew what was going on. Lin Mian felt that if there was any real danger, the other party would definitely be more vigilant than he was.
This was the experience gained over the past two days. The man was always able to predict danger in advance and lead him to avoid those alienated creatures, so that they had not encountered them head-on until now and were safe and sound.
So, now I just turned around and continued to boil water.
On the other side, the young man who had been in the car finally got off.
When the two tall and strong men saw the vines spreading out from his palm, they hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Wait!" The young man was also very nervous. He swallowed and suddenly moved his hands. "I think I can control this thing!"
Hearing his words, the two men exchanged glances and said nothing.
The young man stared at the vine in his hand and waved tentatively.
With a "snap" sound, the cane hit the ground directly with the sound of breaking through the air. The sound sounded very painful.
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he retracted his hand, and the vine suddenly disappeared in his palm.
The two tall and strong men paused, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
The young man was no longer panicked, but began to get excited. He moved his hands again, and the vines that had disappeared reappeared from his palms.
He waved his hands excitedly twice, "Hahaha, fuck, do I have super powers?"
After all, I am still young, and when something strange happens to my body, my first reaction is not worry but happiness.
He even tried to raise his other hand and throw out a vine, controlling them to coil around him. The scene looked magical and fantastic.
But his excitement did not last long. His face suddenly changed, the vines disappeared, and his body shook and he was about to fall.
The two bodyguards, who were in shock, came to their senses and rushed forward to support him. He looked like he was exhausted.
The newly awakened superpowers only last for a very short time. If he plays like this, it would be strange if he is not exhausted. Jiang Jie raised his lips and smiled.
He still remembered that at the beginning, he felt powerless and exhausted after just putting in a bucket of water. He could never squander it like he does now.
The young man could no longer stand, and two people helped him into the car. One of them paused and suddenly turned his head to look at him.
It was the man who had come to see him twice.
Sensing the evil thought that flashed across his eyes, Jiang Jie's lips curved wider and his eyes began to reveal a hint of excitement.
But the other party hesitated for two seconds, and finally just nodded at him, turned around and got into the car.
Jiang Jie was a little disappointed, as he had thought he could have a warm-up before the meal.
In the RV, Lin Mian, who had boiled some hot water, called him and asked him what he wanted to eat. He returned to the car feeling a little bored.
While eating, Lin Mian couldn't help but ask, "Does that person really have super powers?"
Although he was in the car, he could still see the scene over there through the window, and the other party was so excited that he could hear it clearly because his voice was so loud.
Jiang Jie, who was slurping his hot and sour noodles, raised his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Perhaps. Just like plants and animals have undergone some kind of alienation, humans may be the same. These recent events may be the Earth promoting biological evolution."
"You mean, that's not some special case, and maybe many people will have this superpower in the future?" Lin Mian stopped drinking porridge.
Jiang Jie nodded, "God has to be fair and give humans some ability to protect themselves."
"Yeah, that's right." Lin Mian felt that what he said made some sense, and said with a bit of envy: "Then these people are really lucky. Now that they have become stronger, they won't be afraid of those alien creatures anymore."
Hearing this, Jiang Jie glanced at him. He didn't know whether the other party had awakened superpowers in his previous life. After all, they had only met briefly that one time.
But perhaps he could take advantage of this opportunity to "awaken" his superpowers as soon as possible. When the two of them are together, there will always be accidents that cannot be concealed.
Rather than being exposed suddenly at that time, it is better to do it naturally.
Noticing his gaze, Lin Mian looked up with a puzzled look.
Jiang Jie smiled and shook his head.
After eating, they didn't pay attention to the nanny car that was still there, and drove directly out of the gas station and headed towards City Y.
While walking on the road, Jiang Jie saw the car following behind him from the rearview screen, and it seemed that it was also going to Y City.
Lin Mian also noticed it, and he said a little worriedly: "We saw what happened to that person, will they cause trouble?"
At this time, exposure is not a good thing. No one wants their secrets to be discovered by strangers.
He was quite alert. Jiang Jie glanced at him. He was bored on the way and just wanted to play with the rabbit. "Maybe."
"What should we do then?" Lin Mian was indeed a little nervous. He turned around and looked back through the car window. "Those two big brothers look like they can fight..."
Moreover, there is also a person who has evolved strange abilities. If a fight really breaks out, his thin arms and legs will definitely not be of any help. No matter how strong a man is, he can't beat three people alone!
Seeing his brows were about to be knotted, Jiang Jie expressed that he was pleased and put away his bad intentions, "It's okay, if you want to cause trouble, you won't let us leave the gas station at all."
He glanced at the rearview screen again. "Besides, that person's current abilities seem unstable. They probably don't want to cause trouble at this time."
After listening to his explanation, Lin Mian thought about it carefully, felt that it made some sense, and breathed a sigh of relief.
I just suddenly felt that perhaps the dangers they would face in the future would not only come from alienated creatures, but also from humans.
He was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't notice that Jiang Yan's face darkened slightly. He turned his face to the side and suddenly turned the steering wheel.
The car made a 90-degree turn and drove into a small road next to it with an uneven surface.
"W-why…"
Before Lin Mian could finish his question, he felt the car body vibrate slightly amidst the bumps. His heart tightened, "Is it another earthquake?!"
Jiang Yan didn't say anything, just glanced at the rearview screen.
Right in front of the road they had just left, a thick plant root suddenly emerged from the ground. If he hadn't turned suddenly, their RV might have been overturned.
Lin Mian also saw it and his face turned pale.
The nanny car following behind them was not so lucky and almost hit the root system. Fortunately, it braked in time, but it was too late to turn around.
Another root broke through the ground and hit their car directly. The nanny car could not withstand such force and turned over to the ground.
At the same time, a huge flower almost as big as the car body emerged, its petals in full bloom, the edges of the petals densely serrated, and the stamens twisting like some kind of soft-bodied worm.
It looked as ferocious as a huge mouth opened wide, ready to swallow its prey. It was nothing like the beautiful and harmless appearance it had before.
As the car sped away, the horrific scene disappeared from the rearview screen, but Lin Mian's face remained pale.
He couldn't quite recognize the species of the flower. It looked like a common wild flower on the roadside that could be seen everywhere, but now it had become a hideous monster.
If Jiang Jie had not reacted quickly, they might have faced each other head-on, and the flower with teeth might have swallowed them in one gulp.
Whenever he thought of this, he felt a little scared.
There must have been another car that attracted attention, otherwise it might not have been so easy to escape.
Thinking of this, Lin Mian glanced at the rearview screen, which no longer had that scene, and his face looked unhappy. "Will they die..."
The road was uneven, and Jiang Jie was concentrating on driving. Upon hearing this, he said, "Probably."
If they don't have hot weapons, it will be difficult to deal with the mutants. As for the young man who has just awakened, with his current abilities, he cannot kill the other party.
But it cannot be said that there is no possibility of escape. It’s just that the car overturned and was surrounded by the enemy, so the possibility of escape is very small.
This is what the end of the world is like, any accident may happen suddenly.
Maybe you were feeling lucky that you were blessed by God in the last second, but died in the next second.
Jiang Jie had seen too many things like this in those three years.
Many times, he himself had a close brush with death.
Even when he was strong enough, he could not escape the fate of death.
Lin Mian fell silent. After the chaos, he had seen too many fragile lives. He couldn't help but think of himself and wondered if he would die in such an accident one day.
The end of the world has come, and no one will be spared.
The originally relaxed atmosphere in the car became heavy because of the accident and no one spoke.
Lin Mian was worried, and Jiang Jie was alert to his surroundings.
There is a lot of vegetation around this section of the road, and there is no guarantee that there will not be other alien creatures nearby. Moreover, the road surface is uneven and narrow, making it difficult for the RV to drive on it. It is better to bypass this section of the road as soon as possible and return to the main road.
Their luck didn't seem to be too bad. Apart from the bumpy road, they didn't encounter any accidents on the trail and returned to the main route smoothly.
The remaining distance is open on both sides, with no blind spots. Even if there are any unexpected situations, they can be discovered and avoided early.
Because they took a detour, by the time they arrived in City Y, it was already past the scheduled noon time.
