Chapter 1167: Road to the South
After crossing the river, there are naturally many roads, all of which can lead to the highway. The ruins of the city are everywhere, but they have only taken a few steps when Zhan Lian and An Ran encountered mutant animals. Zhan Lian got out of the car and hunted the mutant animals while taking out the crystal cores. An Ran stood beside the car and controlled ordinary flowers and plants to eat the mutant animals that blocked the way.
Controlling ordinary flowers and plants consumes much more energy than controlling mutated plants. Fortunately, Anran had several crystal core diggers in her backpack. When fighting monsters or resting, she would release the crystal core diggers to dig crystal cores for her.
There are a lot of mutant animals in the south, and the crystal cores dug out from their bodies are very large. One crystal core is enough to sustain her for a while. She grabbed a bunch of large crystal cores at once and absorbed them. She had to fill up the energy in her body each time. Only when she felt she could hold on would she and Zhan Lian continue to move south.
So who says this isn't a form of exercise? Although An Ran wasn't in Jiangbei, every time she took a step south, the energy emanating from her body expanded. With her as the center, the energy radiated outward in a circle, satisfying the needs of the mutant forest in Jiangbei and controlling the ordinary plants in Jiangnan.
She was anxious to go to Xiangcheng, so she forced herself to increase the coverage of her supernatural powers. Over time, this made her control over her supernatural powers and her own energy throughput much stronger.
The road to the south was bumpy but full of hope. About the time An Ran and Zhan Lian got on the highway, Wawa called again. This time the signal was much clearer than last time, and An Ran could barely hear what Wawa was saying.
An Ran was chattering on the phone, explaining the precautions for the doll. As she spoke, she couldn't help crying.
Zhan Lian, who was sitting next to An Ran, put his arm around An Ran's shoulders to comfort her, took the phone from An Ran's hand, and spoke to the doll on the other end of the line with a serious expression, giving her some instructions. Before he could finish his words, the phone signal on the doll's end was gone again.
Such a young child has lived in Xiangcheng for so long. When An Ran thought about it, she felt extremely heartbroken, but also somewhat relieved. Since Wawa could survive from Xiangcheng, why should she worry about the child in the future? Wawa's cell phone signal was intermittent. Every time he spoke to An Ran on the phone, Zhan Lian would call back to Jiangbei and ask those experts to check Wawa's geographical location. It can be seen that Wawa and the other children were moving north and had already got on the highway.
As long as An Ran and Zhan Lian go to meet them along the highway where they are, the day when the family will be reunited will not be too soon.
As night fell, the weather in the south dropped sharply. The sky was a cold deep blue, covering the overgrown grass on one side and the other. After a group of mutant birds passed by, An Ran and Zhan Lian settled down in a forest.
If they go further, they should be able to leave Xiangbei and enter Xiangcheng. They made an appointment with Wawa to meet on the highway. Seeing the distance between them getting shorter and shorter, An Ran and Zhan Lian became more and more happy.
Outside the forest is a wilderness that is not under An Ran's control. She will rest in this forest tonight and start controlling the forest on the opposite side tomorrow.
Zhan Lian went to deal with those mutant animals and did not come back for a long time. An Ran waited around a fire for almost an hour, then called on the surrounding trees to help her find Zhan Lian. She found Zhan Lian crawling under the shadow of a tree, motionless.
