Chapter 111 They Came to Our Door
Ji Xian's eyes reddened, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces. His fingertips dug into his palms, silently chanting, "Hold it in, don't cry. If I cry, that bastard He Zhuo will laugh at me for the rest of my life..."
He Zhuo opened his mouth: "Old Ji..."
Before he could finish the sentence, "We don't do things like dripping horse urine into eyes," Lu Nange interrupted him: "Have you guys been paying attention to the rewards on the radio?"
He Zhuo instantly bristled: "Just thinking about this makes me angry. I can forgive Gangzi for the last time. But Gangzi is still a bird, and his corpse got the same reward as ours—3 days' worth of basic supplies?"
Lu Nange: "What? My Gangzi isn't worth much?"
The macaw slapped He Zhuo across the face with its wing: "Baldy! %#*&*$#&****!"
[Hey bald guy, my net worth is at least ten times yours!]
Ji Xian watched the two, a human and a bird, playfully fighting, a slight smile playing on his lips. He thought to himself, "Thank you for coming to save me."
Gu Qi patted his shoulder silently.
After everyone stole glances at Ji Xian's expression and confirmed that he wouldn't cry, they immediately switched gears—
He Zhuo, hands on his knees, asked, "Tonight, are we sneaking into the red-label zone or just walking in openly?"
Lu Nange abruptly withdrew her outward-projected spiritual power, her eyes sharpening, and she abruptly stood up: "No need to think about it anymore, they're here!"
Gu Wan: "No, we've been so careful, how did these people find us?"
Gu Qi: "It's normal for someone to be watching such a large base!"
Lu Nange's body was surrounded by faint energy fluctuations: "Are you ready? There are at least a hundred people in this mighty force!"
He Zhuo: "As expected, we're not the main characters..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Nange dashed out the door like an arrow.
A sudden gust of wind swept through the courtyard, causing the air currents to become turbulent.
"Bang--!"
The bomb, which should have exploded inside the courtyard, was forcefully blown back by the sharp wind blades.
Those with special abilities activated their powers to block, while onlookers had already retreated to the back, thus avoiding any accidental injuries.
Ding Feng staggered a few steps from the shockwave of the explosion, exhaling a puff of black smoke, and roared with a ferocious expression, "Fang Heng! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
Fang Heng's eyes turned sinister. He raised his hand and waved, "What are you standing there for? Go!"
At the Chiayi City base, hundreds of superhumans following Ding Feng surged towards Lu Nange and her group like a tidal wave.
Lu Nange quickly shoved the walkie-talkie into Wen Qing's hand: "Sister Wen Qing, Gangzi will help you blend into the crowd. Protect yourself!"
Wen Qing gripped the walkie-talkie tightly and nodded emphatically: "Be careful!"
Gangzi let out a low growl, hooked its sharp claws, snatched Wen Qing in its mouth, and soared into the air, its speed so fast that it left only a blur in the air.
Ding Feng and his group only had time to catch a glimpse of a giant bird flying by before it vanished without a trace.
A chaotic battle erupted, and the roar of colliding energy instantly drew everyone's attention back.
Using the building as cover, Gangzi put Wenqing down at the corner and then flapped its wings to return to Lu Nange's side.
Wen Qing quickly grabbed a handful of wall plaster and smeared it on his face.
He rolled his clothes against the wall to disguise himself as disheveled, then walked out of the alley and silently blended into the crowd.
She absolutely cannot get caught and become a burden to Nan Nan and the others.
She retreated to a safe distance with the other survivors who were watching the spectacle, and watched from afar as Lu Nange and the others fought among the enemy. Her heart was in her throat.
When the macaw returned, Lu Nange and her group were already surrounded.
The battle situation is clear—each person must simultaneously face attacks from more than a dozen enemies.
The three girls and the child were naturally defined as the weaker party.
Most of the enemies swarmed towards Chi Yanzhou and his group.
'Zhizhi' wriggled in the pocket of Lu Beiye's overalls.
The slender branches split and grew at a visible speed, silently wrapping around the limbs of the attackers.
"What the hell is this thing?" the entangled superhuman screamed in terror, struggling desperately to break free.
Another companion, whose body was also entangled, began to tremble in his voice: "...it's getting tighter and tighter, digging into my flesh..."
Several quick-reacting superhumans immediately launched an attack.
The fire-type ability user unleashed flames from their palms, while the metal-type ability user's blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight... both slashing at the branches.
However, something even more despairing happened—new shoots immediately sprouted from the burned cuts, and the severed branches took root as soon as they hit the ground.
In the blink of an eye, more branches broke through the ground, as if consciously searching for new prey.
"No...don't come any closer!" a superhuman screamed and backed away, only to be caught by a suddenly rising branch that wrapped around his waist.
'Zhizhi' finally finished its hunting preparations and slid lightly out of the deer's pocket.
The moment it hit the ground, countless branches shot out in all directions like an explosion.
The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence at that moment, as everyone stared in horror at the mutated plant that had suddenly launched an attack.
The next second, screams erupted one after another.
'Zhizhi' controlled the whole scene here.
On the other side, Lu Nange, Luo Xingyou, Gu Wan, and Lu Beiye joined Chi Yanzhou and his group in the battle.
Add Gangzi, who pulls off a sneak attack...
Ding Feng's men were immediately thrown into disarray.
Some retreated in panic, while others frantically unleashed their supernatural abilities, and the once tight encirclement began to crumble...
Fang Heng rolled awkwardly, barely avoiding the whistling wind blades.
He stumbled and lunged at Ding Feng's side, his voice hoarse with terror: "Master Ding! That mutated plant...was it Mr. Zhou's?"
Ding Feng's face twitched involuntarily: "That damn thing, wasn't it kept in the city center? How did it end up here?"
He abruptly shook his head, gritting his teeth, and said, "Forget it, never mind all that, contact that Zhou guy immediately! Tell him to bring reinforcements..."
Fang Heng hurriedly pulled out his walkie-talkie and switched to a secure, encrypted channel: "Mr. Zhou, this is Fang Heng from Master Ding's side. Something terrible has happened!"
A crackling sound, like the flicking of a viper's tongue, came through the crackling of electricity: "Speak."
"We encountered intruders in Zone C of the Blue Label Zone, and a mutated plant has appeared on site..."
"The exact location?" The other person's voice suddenly became urgent.
"They're in Blue Flag Zone C! Mr. Zhou, the enemy's fighting strength is formidable..."
"Wait..."
While Fang Heng was speaking, another group of superhumans on their side collapsed.
The wounded henchman slumped to the ground, clutching his bleeding shoulder and wailing, "Brother Fang, where did these evil spirits come from? The plants and birds they raise are monsters!"
Fang Heng's voice was filled with regret: "If I had known... I would have been able to seize that batch of supplies this afternoon?..."
