Han Xiao stared at the scene in front of him, an indescribable feeling welling up in his heart, and he became more curious and inquisitive about Chen Ruoruo.
He unconsciously pulled Chen Ruoruo's hand, and just when he wanted to take a closer look, he saw the green vine like a green snake, climbing up quickly along the hand held by him and Chen Ruoruo, and then tightly wrapped around his arm.
Han Xiao's eyes widened immediately, and he was filled with astonishment and surprise at this bizarre scene. He hurriedly tried to shake off Chen Ruoruo's hand, but it was too late.
He tried to use his other hand to pull away the vines, but found they were incredibly tough and impossible to break free from. Instead, the vines tightened around his arm as he pulled.
"Hmm..." As the vines continued to tighten, Han Xiao felt his arms tighten and hurt. He couldn't help but groan, and he unconsciously used more force to hold Chen Ruoruo's hand.
"Let go..." Chen Ruoruo frowned and looked at Han Xiao, and her hands moved a few times. If he hadn't grabbed her suddenly just now, she would not have failed to react.
"I..." Han Xiao looked up at Chen Ruoruo and was about to say something when his hands were entangled by vines and he was powerless to do anything.
He felt the tense force on his arm suddenly loosen, and then saw the green vine quickly retreat, finally shrinking to Chen Ruoruo's wrist. At the same time, Chen Ruoruo suddenly broke free from his hand, and her originally fair hand had already turned crimson.
"I believe Captain Han is not being a hooligan..." Chen Ruoruo said quietly while looking at Han Xiao with her dark eyes.
"..." Han Xiao lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look into Chen Ruoruo's eyes after hearing what she said. His eyes fell on her fingertips that were pinched red. His expression was dazed and his face became hot unconsciously. He kept kneading his sore and painful arms. Just now, for a moment, he felt that his bones were about to be twisted into a knot by the vines.
"Brother Han, are you okay?" Jiang Yang came forward to support Han Xiao and asked, frowning and looking at Chen Ruoruo. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Hmm..." Han Xiao frowned and moved his arms.
"Sister Ruoruo, I want to see it too..." Tao Dan walked up and said to Chen Ruoruo.
"Aren't you afraid?" Chen Ruoruo asked, looking into the little girl's eyes.
"I'm not afraid..." Tao Dan's eyes sparkled as he answered without any hesitation.
"..." Chen Ruoruo looked at Han Xiao and the others around her, but found that they were all standing quietly, deliberately avoiding looking at her. Even Han Xiao and Zhou Zhiguo didn't say anything.
"It's not as obedient as this one..." Chen Ruoruo looked at Tao Dan and pointed at the fool lying beside him.
"Yeah... I'll be careful..." Tao Dan nodded
"Okay, if you are interested, you can come and take a look..." Chen Ruoruo put her hand on the table after saying that, but this time, she did not point the vine branches on her wrist towards Tao Dan.
Then three more people came over. They and Tao Dan stood in different directions, curiously observing the vines wrapped around Chen Ruoruo. They looked at them carefully, as if trying to find out what was abnormal about the vines.
In view of what happened to Han Xiao just now, the few of them did not dare to touch the vines rashly, and could only try their best to observe with their eyes.
The others waited silently, not making a sound. Their eyes followed the movements of the people and the vines, feeling a mixture of nervousness and confusion.
"Thank you, Sister Ruoruo..." Tao Dan and the other three exchanged glances and thanked Chen Ruoruo.
"Yeah..." Chen Ruoruo nodded.
Then a few people walked over to Han Xiao and his group.
"Ms. Chen, thank you so much..." Han Xiao didn't expect that Chen Ruoruo would allow others to do so, and expressed his sincere gratitude to her.
"..." Chen Ruoruo looked at him, still hugging his arms, and waved her hand.
"Ms. Chen, we will come to see you again in three days..." Zhou Zhiguo said to Chen Ruoruo.
"Yeah, okay..." Chen Ruoruo nodded.
Then the group hurriedly left Chen Ruoruo's residence.
"Captain Zhou, do you know how she got the mutant vines..." Han Xiao couldn't help but ask Zhou Zhiguo as soon as he returned to the base office.
"This... seems to have been brought down from the mountain by the mutant animals she raised. I didn't expect that she brought it all the way to the base..." Zhou Zhiguo thought for a while and then said.
"Did you notice anything unusual about the vines?" Han Xiao said to Tao Dan and the others behind him. They had just observed the vines closely.
"It doesn't look any different..." Ma Qian frowned, her tone filled with confusion. As a senior biologist, she was familiar with all kinds of mutant plants and animals, but she had never seen the vines on Chen Ruoruo before.
"That's true. I didn't detect any signs of Chen Ruoruo using any supernatural powers..." Mu Jiao said as she nodded slightly in agreement and then fell into deep thought.
As a wood-type mutant, she didn't feel any fluctuations in Chen Ruoruo's superpowers the whole time. This was something that had never happened before. She frowned and pursed her lips, as if she was trying hard to think about the reason.
"Hmm..." Tao Dan, standing nearby, also frowned and murmured softly. Despite her young age, she possessed a high IQ and a deep understanding of various supernatural powers. At this moment, recalling the strange scene she had just witnessed, she felt quite bewildered.
"Tsk..." Han Xiao's arm discomfort grew more severe, becoming unbearable. Frowning, he stripped off his shirt. Then, the others saw that his once muscular arm was now noticeably swollen, with a terrifying black bruise entwined around it. As Han Xiao moved, it drooped limply at his side. Even when he tried to lift his right arm, not only was he powerless, but his arm showed no response.
"Captain Han, are you okay?" Zhou Zhiguo hurried forward to check and asked worriedly.
"Brother Han, let me take a look..." Jiang Yang took out the medical kit he carried with him. At the same time, he quickly went up to check Han Xiao's arm.
