These plants are lush and dark in color, and their leaves shimmer in the sunlight.
The trees used to be a different color, lush and vibrant green.
Now these all look like a deep green tinged with brown and black, exuding an eerie and bewitching aura.
"Brother, do you think something might happen? These trees look strange."
Cheng Shaolin also kept a wary eye on the trees outside. When he heard Li Xiao asking him a question, he turned to look at Li Xiao.
"I don't know, we need to be more careful. Be cautious and don't let our guard down."
Without Cheng Shaolin needing to say more, everyone else understood that now was not the time for jokes; they needed to be constantly aware of the situation outside.
"Brother, do you think these trees might have mutated? Animals can mutate, so plants might too," Li Xiao said worriedly.
"You're right, that's possible. It's alright, we'll be careful, we're not afraid we can't handle it, don't worry." Cheng Shaolin knew the seriousness of the matter, but still comforted him.
"Xiaoxiao, it's okay. It's still a plant after all. Plants are afraid of fire. Brother Cheng is their nemesis. Don't be afraid," Shao Jie said from the front to comfort her.
"That's right, I'm afraid of fire. I had completely forgotten about that." Li Xiao was immediately delighted. It was good that there was a way to control it; she was just afraid she wouldn't be able to.
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, but then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiao was still pondering in her mind what else she could use the space for.
As they drew ever closer to the county town, everyone perked up and prepared to take action.
The road was relatively smooth with little congestion, and we slowly approached the area of Tongshan County.
The towering mountains are already in sight, and some of the greenery has already overwhelmed the buildings in the nearby forests.
Have the plants already spread into the county town?
No one was sitting anymore; they all stood up and looked out the window.
In the quiet county town, part of the surrounding area is surrounded by greenery, and the houses are all hidden.
"Oh my god, this looks too, too..." Shao Jie blurted out, his eyes wide.
"It looks so deserted. These trees are all so big." Zheng Yongnian looked out the window in surprise.
“Yes, plants have already taken over human living space.” Yu Yanbin looked calmly out the window.
Everyone fell silent.
We're getting closer to our destination, and the general outline of the county town is becoming clearer.
The deserted roads meander through the streets and alleys.
The deserted streets were only sparsely populated with a few zombies wandering aimlessly, occasionally letting out a "ho ho" sound.
For some reason, the trees and flowers planted by every household in the county town in front of and behind their houses are growing exceptionally lush.
This is something you can't see anywhere else.
Some of the jujube trees planted in front of the houses are already three stories high, and their branches have covered the entire two-story building.
The pink roses planted in the courtyard of one house have already climbed over the wall, crossed the street, and rushed into the courtyard of the building opposite. They have completely covered the courtyard, the street, and the rooftops, obscuring everything completely.
There were also some banana trees and sycamore trees, whose leaves could be used as umbrellas. Their broad, thick leaves densely covered the sky, leaving no gaps and creating a large expanse of shade.
This place is dominated by greenery. Even the spider plants, which usually look delicate, have grown to be robust and strong, not to mention the cacti, which are truly tall and imposing.
It's on someone's second-floor balcony, obstructing their normal growth. It's even pushed through the roof tiles above it, and it's charging upwards with unstoppable momentum.
Some of the vines grew so well that they damaged some of the buildings.
It broke through many buildings and courtyard walls, spreading out randomly in all directions.
The thick branches and vines were exposed to the scorching heat, and sharp thorns that gleamed coldly could be seen growing on the stems of these branches and vines, making them both sturdy and eerie.
In some places along the road, unidentified vines were laid out, hindering their progress.
Yu Yanbin unleashed his supernatural power, transforming his metal-based ability into countless golden throwing knives that flew towards the vines on the ground.
The vines snapped along the width of the road.
Cheng Shaolin threw several fireballs, and the vines caught fire, burning to ashes in less than two minutes.
They kept chopping and burning along the way, and the car slowly drove onto the road leading in.
The houses on both sides of the road were almost completely destroyed. The yards planted with trees were unrecognizable from what they used to be, with only branches and leaves covering the entire area, blocking out the sun.
"It's scary when trees grow too big," Tian Tian muttered softly.
"Yeah, anything in excess is bad," Li Xiao casually agreed.
"Xiaoxiao, do you think any of these have mutated?" Tian Tian pressed.
"Of course there are, so be careful."
"Um".
"Boss, where should we settle down today?" Shao Jie asked Yu Yanbin, who was standing to the side, while staring outside.
"It's a troublesome matter. I didn't expect this county town to be like this. It's also not easy to find a place to stay." Yu Yanbin was also very troubled.
Li Xiao's eyes lit up. "We can't live in there for long. We can make our own place."
Cheng Shaolin turned to look at her, unsure of what she meant. "What do you mean?"
Li Xiao then laughed, "Why don't we just find a place and build our own place to live?"
Yu Yanbin was also puzzled at this point, "How did you build it yourself?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, Li Xiao didn't mince words, "We'll build a house ourselves. Brother Peng is an earth elementalist, so building a house is easy for him. Also, Captain is a metal elementalist, so we can just add another layer of protection, right?"
Li Xiao looked at everyone with her bright, sparkling eyes, and she thought this was feasible.
Even if you live in a house in the county town, you still don't feel safe. No house is as safe and secure as one you build yourself.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shaolin and the others' eyes lit up.
Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin's eyes met, and they both saw the affirmative answer in each other's eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, you can give this idea a try. You're really quick-witted!" Xiao Peng laughed heartily.
He also wanted to try and see if he could build a house himself.
Now we need to find a suitable place, a spacious place, and one that is free of trees and flowers.
Green plants can mutate, so we can't let that risk exist around us.
"Brother, does this road lead to the county town?" Li Xiao asked Cheng Shaolin, who was standing next to her.
"Uh, yeah. What's wrong?"
"Look, the county town is now completely covered by trees. How can we find any space inside?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shaolin agreed.
There are no houses to be seen in the county town, so why should we go inside to find a place?
"did you mean?"
Li Xiao smiled and said to him, "Since we're going to build a house anyway, why don't we just prepare a place ourselves?"
Cheng Shaolin smiled and patted Li Xiao's head.
"Yan Bin, we don't know what dangers might be inside. Let's find a place outside."
Yu Yanbin nodded. He had heard what they were saying, and that was even better.
"Let's find a place outside then, see where that's suitable."
