Qiao He stopped the car. Instead of going in directly, they let Qiao Li come out first to smell if there was any strange smell nearby.
Although Qiao Li's special ability has not yet awakened, his nose is becoming more and more sensitive, and he can smell scents from a kilometer away.
A short while later, Qiao Li said to Qiao He, "Mommy, it doesn't smell like a human, but it seems to smell like plants."
Qiao He found it strange, "Plants?"
"Hmm, it smells like plants. But I don't know what kind of plants they are," Qiao Li said softly, lying on the wheelbarrow, his fluffy tail wagging gently.
Qiao He: "Hey, you little burden, let's go outside and use the binoculars to check the situation. All the plants in this city have died. Where did these plants come from?"
Bo Shiwu nodded, his face cold and stern: "Okay, I'll cover for you."
Qiao He nodded, took out a drone and a telescope from her spatial storage, and then got out of the car with Bo Shiwu.
Lin Qiao said worriedly, "Be careful, I'm afraid there might be someone lying in ambush nearby."
Qiao He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandma, it's alright."
"That burden is formidable; the two of us won't be in any danger."
Lin Qiao felt much more at ease. She had to admit that Bo Shiwu was indeed very capable. With him around, Lin Qiao and the kittens felt much more at ease.
After Qiao He and Bo Shiwu went out, they found a tall building. The building was dark and quiet. The interior was cluttered with desks and junk files, suggesting it used to be an office building.
Bo Shiwu protected her, and the two of them went up to the top floor together. They didn't encounter any other superhumans along the way.
When Qiao He stood on the rooftop of the top floor, they could observe the entire cityscape of Z City.
There were overturned vehicles everywhere, as well as dead humans and animals by the roadside. Most of them were completely dead, their bodies severely gnawed, making it impossible to tell what had eaten them. Bones were scattered all over the place, like a living hell.
Qiao He and Bo Shiwu looked through the binoculars for a long time and even sent out drones, but they still didn't find any signs of human life.
"Hey kid, don't you feel like something's off about this city? It's like something's turned upside down," Qiao He said in a low voice.
Bo Shiwu pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, and there are many scratches on the ground, which are from some kind of large, tentacle-like creature."
Qiao He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Could it be an animal mutation?"
Bo Shiwu: "It could also be a human, an ability user who has awakened an animal-type ability, or a plant-type ability, either is possible."
Qiao He nodded: "Let's go back first."
"We're already near Z City, so there's no need to actually go in. As long as we find a place in this area to wait for the extreme cold, it shouldn't be too hard to endure."
There must be something wrong with Z City; Qiao He doesn't want to go in.
Bo Shiwu replied, "Okay."
So the two of them walked back.
But when Qiao He returned, she discovered that the SUV was gone!
Qiao He's pupils contracted sharply. "Where's the car?"
Bo Shiwu's expression turned cold: "She was just here a moment ago."
"Could it be—"
Before Qiao He could finish speaking, she and Bo Shiwu simultaneously heard a rustling sound behind them!
The two of them turned around at the same time, and in that next instant!
A look of terror appeared on Qiao He's face—
Because it was a huge vine that was actually ten meters tall!
The vines, like tentacles, attacked Qiao He and Bo Shiwu frantically.
If they were hit by this vine, they would definitely be crushed into mincemeat!
Bo Shiwu reacted extremely quickly, pulling Qiao He and the other person away from the attack.
However, the vines seemed unwilling to let them go, and as if they had eyes, they chased after them.
With a cold expression, Bo Shiwu activated her superpower. In the next instant, the three-meter-wide vine was severed in half by Bo Shiwu's telekinetic ability.
With a loud bang!
The huge vine was cut down.
The remaining vines seemed to be in unbearable pain, and then tens of millions of thin vines burst out from the cut surface!
If force doesn't work, they'll try a softer approach. Those thin vines, like kite strings, seem to be going crazy, trying to completely trap Qiao He and Bo Shiwu.
Qiao He's eyes turned cold. She took out a grenade from her spatial storage and threw it accurately.
Bang!!!
The grenade exploded, taking with it a wave of thin vines.
Soon, the vine realized that it was no match for Qiao He and Bo Shiwu, and quickly retracted its "tentacles".
Qiao He shouted, "Let's follow them! Grandma and the kittens, look, it's dragging you away!"
Bo Shiwu narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "Fine."
The two then gave chase, but the vine disappeared underground from somewhere and vanished completely.
It's like it climbed up from underground.
Qiao He and Bo Shiwu began searching everywhere, but to no avail.
The vine was incredibly cunning; it could shrink its branches, so it left no trace when it escaped, and they couldn't find any clues even if they tried to catch up.
"We lost them," Qiao He said, annoyed.
Bo Shiwu frowned: "Let's go back and look for it first. Such a big car can't just disappear into thin air."
Qiao He hummed in agreement.
Just as the two were about to leave, Bo Shiwu keenly sensed that there were many gun barrels pointed coldly at their heads.
Bo Shiwu's expression changed slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "Who are you? Show yourself!"
