Three days later, Sher had stored up enough food and had no reason not to go out.
"Master, where should we go first?"
The two secretly slipped out of the resort and were now in Nanshi.
I definitely can't stay in Nanshi for long, but where should I go if I leave Nanshi?
There are four cities connected to Nanshi: Wancheng, Yucheng, Xiacheng, and Fengcheng.
Qin Su tried hard to recall, but in her previous life she was trapped in Wancheng, and Gu Mobai didn't allow anyone to tell her about these things, so she was unfamiliar with none of the three cities.
However, according to the map, Yucheng leads to Kyoto. Kyoto is where the elite gather, so they should be better positioned to handle the apocalypse.
"Let's go to Yucheng!"
Upon entering Yucheng, the weather was noticeably cooler.
Qin Su took out a thermometer and found that the temperature here was only 45 degrees Celsius.
"Yucheng and Wancheng aren't that far apart, so why is there such a big temperature difference?"
Xie Erxun stretched comfortably. He had been suffering from the heat these past few days, sweating profusely every day. He had had enough.
Qin Su wasn't an expert in this field and didn't know what was going on.
But the apocalypse is fair to every city; even without extreme heat, the city will still suffer.
Sure enough, the further in you go, the stranger it becomes.
They passed through a place where they saw no one, not even a single animal.
"Is this a ghost town? Why is there not a sound?"
Xie Erxun reached out and plucked a leaf from the tree beside him. Suddenly, the tree shook a few times.
A few drops of water suddenly fell on Xie Erxun's head.
"Why do I feel like this tree is angry?"
Qin Su frowned; she sensed it too.
The world, which had been silent before, began to tremble more and more because Sherxun had picked the leaves.
"We need to get out of here quickly."
When something seems wrong, the first instinct is naturally to leave.
But they walked for a long time and never left Yucheng.
"Why do I feel like we're back?"
Xie Erxun pointed to the big tree in front of him and said.
Besides picking leaves, he also made a mark on the tree.
"We've probably run into a maze."
Qin Su felt a chill run down her spine. She remembered that in her previous life, she had heard of a place where people who entered a maze would be endlessly spinning until they died, at which point they would be thrown out of the maze.
"What is a maze? Is it man-made or natural?"
Xie Erxun didn't understand, but being unable to get out was quite annoying, so he kicked the tree twice more.
Shh! Shh!
Suddenly, the surrounding trees began to tremble in unison. The trees, which had been arranged in a row, began to converge on them.
"Have these plants mutated? How can they move?"
While Xie Erxun was speaking, he was entangled by a vine.
Ahhhhhh...
He was lifted into the air by the vines, while other vines quickly struck him.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
Xie Erxun never imagined in his life that he would be spanked by a plant.
"Master, help me!"
"Waaaah, my butt hurts so much! These vines are so unethical, they even used poison!"
Qin Su looked around at the trees, but they didn't do anything to her; they just kept attacking Xie Erxun.
Do these trees have a clear sense of right and wrong, only attacking those who harm them?
"Mmm, it wasn't enough that they hit me, they even covered my mouth."
Now it's confirmed that these trees can understand human speech.
Qin Su took out a plant growth stimulant from her spatial storage and tried to communicate with them.
"Hello, we didn't mean to trespass here. We're just looking for someone. We offended you before, so please consider this our apology and let him go."
Fearing they wouldn't recognize its value, Qin Su poured the plant growth promoter on the ground, and immediately, the trees around her seemed much more vibrant.
rustling...
The tree began to shake again.
This time, they seemed quite excited.
The tree that had previously tried the plant growth accelerator pointed to Qin Su's pocket, then to Xie Erxun, and made a gesture of putting it down.
Qin Su immediately understood: "You want more plant growth promoters, right? I have some. As long as you release him, I can give them to you."
As she spoke, she opened her bag and showed them the plant growth promoter inside.
rustling...
The trees began to communicate again, and this time, they quickly put Xie Erxun down.
"Mom, they're not just mutants, they're monsters!"
Xie Erxun's mind was filled with all sorts of strange tales from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, and he huddled behind Qin Su, too afraid to come out.
"Everyone, I have some other nutritional supplements that I can give you. I wonder if you could give them to us?"
Shh! Shh!
This time, the leading tree shook its body.
Qin Su noticed that when they approved, the leaves shook up and down, but when they didn't approve, they shook left and right.
She put down the nutrient solution, and the tree began to guide her.
Following the direction the tree extended, they soon arrived at another area of Yucheng.
Thank you.
Qin Su thanked them, and the tree shook once before returning to its previous state.
After walking quite a distance, Xie Erxun finally dared to speak.
"Those trees were so eerie! What were they? Do monsters really exist in this world?"
Qin Su sighed. If it were before the apocalypse, she definitely wouldn't have believed it, but after the apocalypse, so many monsters had appeared. It seemed understandable that plants could awaken consciousness.
I never imagined that plants had already awakened to consciousness so early.
"Don't make a fuss. We might encounter something even more outrageous next. Be prepared."
ha……
After traveling for so long, her body couldn't take it anymore.
That's all for today. Let's go into the space and rest.
She was self-aware enough to know that she would likely be unable to handle any danger outside, so it was safer to hide inside her space.
"Oh, okay, I'm hungry too."
Xie Erxun entered the space and immediately began to eat. He had been expending a lot of energy traveling recently, and his appetite had increased.
"Master, why can the food I eat inside the space be restored, but it can't be taken outside?"
Qin Su's space has now returned to a state where the progress bar is at zero.
"I don't know either, you can check it out."
I couldn't take it anymore, and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep.
Xie Erxun tried several more times, but still couldn't find anything.
"Never mind, since eating in the space can restore my health, I might as well eat in the space to avoid consuming too much energy and making it too expensive for my master to feed me in the future."
Qin Su slept straight through until the next evening.
When they emerged from the space, they found the streets of Yucheng bustling with people.
There were many people setting up stalls on both sides of the street.
"Gentlemen, would you like to change your things?"
Seeing that the two were dressed neatly, someone immediately pulled them aside.
