Chapter 80
The dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and it was "dawn" in the sky.
The abandoned streets were silent; all the noise had vanished without a trace.
The stones protecting the modified car were slowly moved aside, and Qian Hui lifted her head from Nan Tingjin's arms, looking bewildered and uneasy.
Then, faint sounds came from the direction of the human teams on both sides, but no further attacks were launched.
The plants were confused and nervous, not knowing what had happened.
The situation was critical just now. The lightning and fire walls that were so close disappeared in an instant, and the protective netting on the other side was completely shattered.
The cactus in the driver's seat peered out and saw several humans lying on the ground.
It tried to launch a few missile spikes, which landed and exploded in the ruins, but there was no sign of retaliation from the other side.
The carrots were most clearly visible from high above, so they hurriedly landed the aircraft.
Just now, a shockwave suddenly erupted, which blocked all the attacks. And lying in the very center of the shockwave was Yuzu.
The person in the other car, Peanut, reacted immediately and rushed out of the car.
The pomelo lay quietly on the ground. Big Peanut gently called to it and then carefully reached out to help it up.
Seeing that the pomelo's eyes were closed and it showed no reaction, and that its shell felt hot to the touch, Big Peanut asked anxiously, "Huh?"
Yuzu had some small wounds on her body, probably from being cut by wind blades and gravel when she forced herself to get off the car during the hurricane.
Several other plants inside the car gradually gathered around, followed by the sound of a car door opening from behind.
"Youyou!" Qianhui rushed forward anxiously and took the pomelo from Da Huasheng's hand.
The aircraft landed nearby, and Carrot quickly ran over.
While checking on Youzi's condition, Qianhui took out a few pills and gently put them into its mouth, confirming that it had simply fainted from exhaustion due to using a berserk attack earlier.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief and gently wiped the dust off the pomelo with his sleeve: "Alright, it should be fine now..."
The tiny wounds on Yuzu's body healed quickly, and her body temperature began to drop, but she still did not wake up.
Qianhui held it, feeling both heartache and lingering fear.
The carrot standing to the side looked serious as it looked up and glanced around.
The sudden increase in the strength of the human team, and Yuzu's crucial outburst, were both unexpected by it.
This time I was careless, and even though they were prepared, an accident almost happened.
If the mimosa plant hadn't noticed in time and had been attacked by these humans... the consequences might have been even more serious.
Fortunately, the nuts and carnivorous plant weren't available, but thankfully there was a pomelo...
With Nan Tingjin's intervention, a large number of attacks were forcibly slowed down.
Carrot quickly swept the area, and the plants were mostly unharmed, as were the two modified cars.
With a "whoosh," it instructed some of the plants to stay behind temporarily, while it led the remaining plants, along with the cabbage, to check the situation in the direction of the human groups on both sides.
As soon as he approached the ruins, Carrot immediately smelled a strong stench of blood.
The humans' modified vehicles were almost totaled, and several people lay on the ground, their fates unknown. Only two or three were still breathing.
They were seriously injured and looked horrified. They still tried to escape, but they were blocked by the four-leaf clover before they could run two steps.
Just then, familiar footsteps approached.
Carrot turned his head and saw that it was Nan Tingjin.
His gaze was icy as he looked at me, and the stone beside me trembled slightly.
Since these people are still alive, it is most appropriate for Nan Tingjin, as the only human ability user in the team, to interrogate them.
The carrot thoughtfully moved two steps aside to make way for him.
Nan Tingjin stepped forward, and the suspended sharp stone pressed against the throat of a superhuman.
His gaze swept over them, and he asked in a cold voice, "What have you done?"
All the previous attacks were definitely not the kind of power that an ordinary superhuman possesses.
The man trembled, his face filled with fear: "I...I..."
He took out an empty medicine bottle from his person and explained the team's entire plan.
This includes information such as which base they came from, when Wen Jue escaped, the drugs they were given, and what kind of effects they would have.
Up to this point, their team's progress was actually very smooth, and even if they were accidentally discovered by the plants, reinforcements arrived in time.
The medicine given by Wen Jue played a crucial role.
As planned and instructed, they all took the potion and "exploded" at the same time, their attacks amplified several times over, resulting in near-terrifying power.
Even though Nan Tingjin's move was unexpected, the number of alien plants was not large, so they seemed to have a high chance of winning and at least being able to return to the base safely.
However……
The unexpected turn of events shocked the superhumans on Earth. They couldn't figure out where they had gone wrong, and their thoughts were becoming increasingly chaotic. They dared not utter a single lie.
"I don't know..." He was still very frightened, his eyes gradually becoming dazed, and he inadvertently revealed that the base was preparing to launch a surprise attack on Blackridge Mountain.
Carrot was furious. He went up and kicked the man, then searched his body and found a communicator, only to discover it was damaged and wouldn't turn on.
Lettuce looked around and saw that the corpses lying on the ground had different deaths; some looked like they had been burned, while others had broken bones all over their bodies.
Seeing this, it had a general idea of the pomelo's abilities.
And those potions used by humans... are equivalent to turning all superhumans into supernatural plants with berserk abilities.
The superior alien plants are incredibly powerful, partly because of their berserk abilities, which are difficult for many ordinary plants to evolve, and the same is true for humans.
No wonder he looked so powerful... but he deserved his current fate.
Lettuce shook her head, turned around and left first, intending to check if Yuzu had woken up.
The cabbage, along with several other plants, was on the other side, in a similar situation to the cabbage on this side.
After obtaining the information he wanted, Nan Tingjin raised his hand, and several pebbles swept past, causing the remaining people to fall to the ground one after another, being cleanly and efficiently dealt with.
Carrot rummaged around and found a box in an overturned car. Inside were two intact medicine bottles, which he put away for the time being.
When Nan Tingjin turned back, Qian Hui and the remaining plants went into the car.
He leaned against the window, holding the unconscious Yuzi tightly, seemingly still in a daze.
Nan Tingjin sat down and gently pulled Qian Hui into his arms.
"Were you scared?" he reassured her. "It's all taken care of now, don't be afraid."
Qian Hui nodded gently and hummed in agreement.
He was truly terrified; what if it had been just a hair's breadth off, or some other oversight...
Unable to relax her tense nerves, Qian Hui took out two panaceas and fed them to Nan Tingjin.
Nan Tingjin was not injured, but doing so seemed to put him at ease a little.
Qian Hui didn't forget to ask, "What's going on with those people?"
Nan Tingjin remained silent for a moment before telling him the information he had received.
“I’ve already contacted Yuanji,” he said, patting Qianhui’s back. “We’ll go back right away.”
Qian Hui nestled in Nan Tingjin's arms, and after a long while, she responded, "Mmm."
Before him was the game interface; just moments ago, a new message had popped up in the game.
[Hidden quest triggered! Successful completion will grant you detailed story points.]
[Hidden Quest]: Find the human who created the mysterious potion (0/1)
[Quest Reward]: Detailed Explanation of the "Mystery of Time" Story Points
The human who made the potion... was Wen Jue.
Qian Hui looked up: "You mean... where is Wen Jue?"
“Jianghai Base,” Nan Tingjin paused, “he can’t hide for long.”
He lowered his head and kissed Qian Hui's hair, tightening his arms around her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
“Unless I die,” Nan Tingjin said softly, “no one can hurt you.”
Qian Hui looked tense: "You can't say things like that..."
Nan Tingjin lowered his eyes and remained silent, then touched Qian Hui's cheek.
The plants outside quickly finished cleaning up, and the carrot split off a large number of carrot thorns equipped with electromagnetic cannons, blasting away all the traces.
The situation is now basically clear, but it's still unknown when Wen Jue and the Jianghai base will take action.
When they realize they can't contact the team here, they may not know what happened, but they will certainly be on high alert.
The plants each ate the prepared pills to restore their strength as quickly as possible.
There were also pomelos... Carrot looked at the modified car where Qianhui was.
Besides pomelos, peas consume the most nutrients; they are so exhausted that they practically hang on the cabbage.
The cabbage, while looking disgusted, stuffed medicine into its mouth.
Big Pea also looked at the modified car and made two "whoosh" sounds.
This pomelo has such amazing skills, why didn't you tell me sooner!
Big Pea gritted his teeth, still thinking about those despicable humans, wishing that Yuzu would be fully recovered right now so he could lead them to wipe out the rest of that base.
The carrot gently patted it: "Ooh!"
The pomelo hasn't woken up yet!
Moreover, Yuzu's berserk skill doesn't seem to last long and isn't a panacea, so a detailed plan is needed.
Having experienced this, they must be even more cautious.
After confirming that all the plants in the team had recovered considerably, Carrot urged everyone to get in the car and prepare to return to base immediately.
The two modified vehicles had been cleaned up and showed no signs of having just been in a battle.
The cactus and the four-leaf clover remained the drivers, and the two cars quietly drove away, one after the other.
Qianhui watched the scenery flash by outside the window until she left the nearby area, and finally relaxed a little.
He took out his communicator, wanting to send a message to the chili peppers, but he was afraid that the plants in the base would worry.
After thinking it over, Qianhui only said that she was on her way back.
Even if Qian Hui didn't say anything, Yuan Ji knew the situation. He came in person to remind the plants to be careful lately and to pay attention to any abnormalities.
Upon hearing that Qianhui and her team had been attacked outside, the plants were extremely anxious.
The man-eating flower covered the small mushroom with its leaves and hurried away. The sweet pepper darted around, wanting to rush to pick up Qianhui, but knowing it couldn't go out casually.
Chili nodded to Yuan Jidian, indicating that she understood.
It was also very worried and wanted to send a message to Qianhui to ask if he and the team of plants were injured.
However, the more anxious Chili became, the blank her mind went, and she couldn't think of how to write many words.
It sent another real-time communication request to Qianhui, but it showed that the other party's signal was not very good at the time.
Just then, another communicator in the backpack beeped, and Chili took it out to check.
How's your busy schedule?
Chili pursed her lips, lowered her head, and replied with two symbols: ":(" and "T,T".
Two seconds later, the screen suddenly lit up with a request for real-time communication.
In the past few days, Chili has been in frequent contact with the other side, and both sides have relatively fixed locations with good signal connection.
Chili was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously answered the call.
Then, a deliberately indifferent voice came from the communicator: "Huh?"
