"Yeah, it wasn't like this when we came here before..."
"Yeah yeah.."
For a moment, everyone was talking and the noisy voices filled the air.
“…” Cheng Xinghua couldn’t figure out why this happened for a moment, so he frowned and said nothing.
"Brother Nan, what should we do now?" Bai Lusong
Long Minnan looked at the vines all over the mountain and suddenly thought of Chen Ruoruo who was resting on a lounge chair next to the cave. In an instant, his thoughts turned in a thousand circles, as if something suddenly flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it.
Suddenly, he thought of the several huge mutant animals that Chen Ruoruo kept around him. He felt that perhaps it was because of those animals that these mutant plants were shrinking. Now that those guys were taken away by Chen Ruoruo, these vines were naturally fearless.
"Wait... maybe we can reap the benefits..." Long Minnan looked towards the middle of the mountain. He felt that with so many supplies on the mountain, the official troops would not be willing to give them up. After they settled Chen Ruoruo, they would definitely send people over to transfer the supplies.
They will stay here and use the official power to deal with these vines. When their strength is weakened and they are no longer able to fight them, they can take the opportunity to go up and transfer the supplies in the cave.
"..." Just now, during this interval, several members of the base who claimed to be powerful came to the foot of the mountain together, trying to use their fire abilities to burn all the vines on the mountain without leaving a single piece.
What was unexpected was that after their fireballs were thrown onto the mountain, they seemed to have fallen into a green ocean and were quickly swallowed up by the green waves without causing any ripples.
Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but be secretly shocked. They couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying power the mutated vines on this mountain had. Fortunately, they didn't rush forward just now.
After taking action, several fire-type ability users discovered the situation on the mountain and were secretly shocked. Then, seeing vines attacking from the foot of the mountain, they quickly retreated. Fortunately, they were on guard from the beginning and did not get too close to the foot of the mountain, so they escaped.
Afterwards, Long Minnan left a few people at the base to wait near the foot of the mountain, and then he took Cheng Xinghua, Bai Lusong and others back to the base. They had more important things to do.
As expected, Chen Ruoruo and the others' journey remained calm, so Zhou Zhiguo and the others returned to the base more than half the time it took them to come. Moreover, the group following Chen Ruoruo also felt unusually relaxed. Except for physical fatigue from traveling for several days, everyone returned to the base in good condition.
Zhou Zhiguo and Chen Ruoruo's return to the base caused a stir. It was evening, the time when the base was most fully staffed. Chen Ruoruo had originally planned to return to the base after midnight, but Zhou Zhiguo, considering safety concerns, decided to bring her in right away.
As expected, everyone panicked and ran back to the shelter after seeing Erlangzi, Wolf King, and several other giant mutant animals following Chen Ruoruo. In an instant, the once bustling shelter was deserted.
Zhou Zhiguo, Qi Jiang and his group were not surprised after seeing the reaction of the people at the base. After all, if they didn't know in advance, they would probably be scared too.
The official troops at the base, upon seeing Chen Ruoruo and the others behind her, had been prepared, even though Zhou Zhiguo had warned them beforehand. However, the sudden appearance of these massive beasts in front of them subconsciously mobilized their special abilities and stood guard at the gate, preventing the mutants from losing control and rushing into the base.
As far as they knew, they had never seen so many large mutant animals. In fact, they were all raised by one person. This seemed completely incredible to them. Humans didn't even have enough food to eat, so it was a fantasy to feed so many mutant animals.
Zhou Zhiguo brought Chen Ruoruo, Erlangzi, and a few wolf kings with him. Qi Jiang and the others followed behind them. The group passed through the complex terrain of the base and headed towards the westernmost part of the base.
As they walked further and further away, the surroundings gradually became quieter and more deserted. Finally, they came to a secluded and desolate corner, surrounded by mountains. In the middle of the open space, there was a small, seemingly simple, one-story bungalow.
This small bungalow is very simple, it is temporarily built with simple steel plates. The area around the house is very empty, and perhaps because of the previous earthquake, the ground is uneven.
The house was located on the only flat land in the area, and there were no extra decorations or facilities around it. However, there were a few tree trunks sunk into the cracks in the ground, leaving only lonely trees with their crowns exposed.
Zhou Zhiguo pushed open the door and motioned Chen Ruoruo to come in. As soon as Chen Ruoruo entered the room, Erlangzi and the Wolf King followed behind him and ran into the room. For a moment, the room seemed crowded. The room was simply decorated, but it was still clean and tidy.
A single bed was placed against the wall, with a small table and a chair next to it. Simple curtains hung on the windows to block out the sunlight. Although the space was small, it was large enough to make people feel comfortable and at ease.
Chen Ruoruo didn't have high requirements for the house. Her RV was fully equipped with daily necessities, and she had never planned to live in such a small house, so she didn't care what the house looked like.
However, she was very satisfied with the environment here. When she followed Zhou Zhiguo to the gate of the base, she used her consciousness to check the entire place. Although this place was not as good as when she was in the mountains, it was remote and she should not be disturbed.
"This is the residence prepared for you. If you need anything, you can tell me at any time." Zhou Zhiguo introduced to Chen Ruoruo.
"Okay, thank you..." Chen Ruoruo nodded in response
"Okay, you take a rest first..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at the crowded room with Erlangzi and the Wolf King, turned around and walked out.
"..." Chen Ruoruo stood up and walked to the door, then saw Xia Xiaoying and a few others walking over from the side.
"Ruoruo, we just looked at it. Although this place is remote, it is still quite quiet..." Xia Xiaoying said to Chen Ruoruo
"Well, thank you..." Chen Ruoruo curled the corners of her mouth.
"It's okay..." Xia Xiaoying waved her hand and said.
"Okay, Ruoruo, you pack up first and we'll come find you later..." Qi Jiang said to Chen Ruoruo.
