"We've arrived at Nanlv Middle School. Next stop is Wanchen Garden."
"I'm really worried about the plants in Wanchen Garden. I don't know what they've become."
"Why are all the plants and animals mutating now? We can't eat them."
"Some of them are edible, but their characteristics are too bizarre!"
Just then, a strange-looking large lizard blocked their car.
"???"
"Captain, what should we do?"
"Turn around and run!"
"Yes, Captain."
"Captain, we can't outrun them, what should we do?"
"Drive the car properly."
Xu Jianfang stuck his head out of the car window, his hands brimming with lightning, and lashed out at the giant lizard.
The lizard couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely. Its eyes instantly blazed with fire, and it charged forward, arriving in front of the car.
A sudden stop, and they were just a hair's breadth away from hitting the monitor lizard. Hitting the monitor lizard wouldn't have been a big deal, but they might have been sent flying away in circles.
Wang Haofa's driving skills were quite good. He reacted quickly, reversed the car, and drove away from the giant lizard in an instant.
The monitor lizard was too big, and the car was too small, so they could never find their target.
"Captain, why do I keep feeling like the giant lizard is playing us for fools?"
"It's like they're treating us like toys."
"What should we do? Should we abandon the car?"
"That works too. I always feel like it's playing tricks on us because the car can run."
"I feel the same way."
Zuo Qingya silently took out a purple fruit from her bosom and ate it in one bite. Her head exploded and instantly turned into a lizard's head. At the same time, Zuo Qingya also understood what the giant lizard was saying.
"It's fun, so much fun."
"???"
"Are you really playing?"
Zuo Qingya tugged at Zuo Haijia's hand and said, "Um, Mom, the lizard said it's fun!"
Cao Shun had a knowing look on his face. "I told you, this lizard was just playing with us!"
"Then let's abandon the vehicle immediately!"
"Yes, Captain."
Everyone abandoned the car and sought cover to protect themselves.
Seeing that the car wasn't moving, the giant lizard curiously approached and gently touched it with its large paw. The car still didn't move, so the giant lizard got a little angry, picked up the car, and shook it.
Zuo Qingya and the others quietly hid from the giant lizard, not daring to make a sound.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after safely leaving the monitor lizard.
Wang Haofa patted his chest and said, "That scared the hell out of me."
"Thank goodness, we've escaped another disaster."
Once they were far enough away, Zuo Haijia released another car and drove towards their destination.
Besides the forest and gardens, Wanchen Garden also has a wide open meadow. The grass here grows exceptionally lush, like a green carpet on the earth. Scattered across the meadow are some abandoned buildings and facilities, bearing witness to the splendor before the disaster.
On the edge of Mansun Garden, there is a marshland. The water here is crystal clear, and some aquatic plants and fish grow there. The fish look quite ordinary, but they have two rows of large, sharp teeth.
"It's too quiet here, isn't it dangerous?"
"Isn't that obvious? Where isn't dangerous these days?"
Wang Hao scratched his head: "That's true!"
Zuo Haijia looked at the grassy area, took out a dead rat from her spatial storage, and threw it onto the grass. With a bang, as if receiving some kind of signal, the ordinary grass suddenly grew wildly and instantly devoured the dead rat.
Xu Jianfang looked at his aching tooth and asked, "How are we supposed to get through this?"
"Captain, how about we go through from the outside?"
"This is the only way now."
"There's a swamp on the outskirts, hopefully it's not dangerous!"
Looking at the swamp in front of her, You Chunyuan complained, "This water looks pretty clear! There shouldn't be any danger, right?" As soon as she finished speaking, a fish with a mouthful of sharp teeth bit at You Chunyuan's head.
Fortunately, You Chunyuan reacted quickly and dodged it.
The fish missed You Chunyuan and fell to the ground with a thud. Surprisingly, it could still move. Finding its target, it swam quickly toward You Chunyuan.
"My goodness... what kind of fish is this? It can even swim on land."
"Thank goodness! I'm a wind elementalist, otherwise I would really be dead."
Just then, the water churned, and dozens of fish jumped out of the water.
"Holy crap, this is going to kill me!"
"Having fish isn't enough, look at what's behind you."
"Holy crap, a crocodile? No way!"
Everyone started using their superpowers to attack the swarming fish. Wang Hao was caught off guard and got bitten on the butt by a fish.
With a roar, he tried to use his superpower to burn it, but damn it, he's a fire-type! Wouldn't using fire just burn his own butt?
"Ouch... Hurry, hurry, someone help me get this fish off, it hurts so much!" Wang Haofa said, tears welling up in his eyes.
Xu Jianfang looked at You Chunyuan: "Chunyuan, can you help me post this number?"
You Chunyuan nodded: "Okay."
Xu Jianfang unleashed his supernatural power, splitting the swamp in half. Many fish that hadn't yet reached the shore were chopped until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the place was instantly filled with the aroma of roasted meat.
Cao Shun used water to envelop the fish that jumped ashore, drawing out the oxygen and suffocating them to death.
Zuo Qingya took out her prized possession, the Landmine Fruit, pulled off the tab, and threw it into the swamp. With a bang, the air was filled with the smell of cocoa powder.
"Little girl, are you throwing cocoa powder? It smells so good!"
Zuo Qingya said awkwardly, "No, it's a landmine fruit, it's the one that sprays out cocoa powder."
"Ah! What a waste!" Wang Haofa said, increasing the force of his attack.
"Little sister, stop using that landmine fruit to attack, try something else."
Zuo Qingya thought for a moment and realized that she seemed to have something else that might not smell very good.
Zuo Qingya took out a mask first, put it on Hu Zi's mouth, and then distributed them to everyone. After everyone had put on their masks, she waited for them to be ready.
Zuo Qingya took out something dark from her bosom and threw it into the swamp. The aroma of cocoa powder disappeared instantly, and what she smelled now was... how to describe it! It smelled a bit like the sour water that people in the South like to eat. It was a bit intoxicating and too strong.
The fish and crocodiles, who were still fighting back, stopped abruptly upon smelling the scent, then turned and ran back into the water as if something was chasing them.
Fortunately, Zuo Qingya had the foresight to put on a mask first. Although the mask was too thin, she could still smell a little odor, but it was still bearable.
Seeing that the crocodiles had all run away, Zuo Qingya and the others quickly left the dangerous place.
Once you leave that place, the flavor is gone.
"Finally, we're gone."
"Little sister, the thing you threw away smelled absolutely awful. Even with my mask on, I could still smell it." Xu Jianfang said, unable to hold back his retching.
"Yeah, that's terrifying."
After finding a place to rest for a while, they headed to their next destination.
