Those who fought just now have worked hard all day, so let them rest.
Li Xiaotian and the others walked to the courtyard where the cactus had been and went inside the building.
This place is still very well preserved and hasn't been disturbed much.
With such a large mutated plant here, no one would dare to come here.
Perfect timing, now I can take a good look.
"Xiaoxiao, you stay on the first floor, we'll go upstairs."
"Okay." After watching Shao Jie and Zheng Yongnian go upstairs, Li Xiao also walked towards the kitchen.
Upon entering, there is a living room, with the kitchen and toilet on the left and the bedrooms on the right.
Seeing that Li Xiao had gone to the kitchen, Tian Tian went to the bedroom.
For so long, there was no place that wasn't dirty; everything was covered in dust.
When Li Xiao entered the kitchen, her first thought was to check if there was any rice or anything like that.
There was a layer of dust on the table. Li Xiao looked around and found nothing she could take.
Open the cabinet below, and you'll find some jars and boxes that aren't used often.
She took them all out, opened them, and looked inside. There was nothing inside except some large pieces of material.
It's obvious they took everything.
Li Xiao stood up, opened all the cabinets on top, took everything she could, and left the rest as is.
All there is is some seasoning and a few casserole dishes, nothing else.
They came out shortly after, and saw that Tian Tian had already come out.
She stepped forward, and Tian Tian shrugged.
Li Xiao laughed, and Tian Tian shrugged.
It's nothing, it's not surprising that there's nothing there.
The two of them didn't go upstairs, but just wandered around downstairs.
If it weren't for the apocalypse, living in a courtyard like this would be very comfortable.
A two-story house with favorite flowers on the balcony and vegetables in the yard downstairs. Planting in spring, enjoying the cool in summer, harvesting in autumn, and admiring the snow in winter.
It sounds wonderful, but then Li Xiao's eyes darkened, and she gently shook her head.
There are still some traces of farming in the yard, which means that the owner used to grow vegetables, but stopped later, leaving only square vegetable plots.
The yard isn't big, only about 20 square meters.
It's completely bare now, except for a layer of ash.
The cacti are all dead; not a single one remains.
Huh—
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any plants in this yard and the surrounding dozens of square meters.
I think I see green.
Are you dizzy?
Li Xiao wasn't sure either, so she quickly walked to that corner. It was the corner of the building, next to the courtyard wall, with just a small gap.
In this easily overlooked spot, a touch of green quietly hides in the shadows around the corner.
If Li Xiao hadn't been standing at such a perfect angle, it would have been difficult to notice.
It is indeed quite hidden, nestled in a dark corner, making it even harder to see.
Li Xiao squatted down, looking at the small cactus in front of her, wondering whether she should pull it up.
Tian Tian turned around and found that Li Xiao was gone, so she called out.
Li Xiao answered without turning her head.
Tian Tian followed the sound and came over, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here?"
"Yeah, I came here as soon as I saw this."
"What is that?" Tian Tian asked, looking over. "Ah, how come there's something like this!"
With Tian Tian's exclamation, the people resting under the courtyard wall all looked over.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Shaolin was the first to stand up and walk over.
"Ah, that's the cactus. How come there's still one?" Tian Tian frowned and pointed at the cactus on the ground.
Upon hearing that there were cacti, the others immediately got up and rushed over.
It happened very quickly; less than a minute had passed since Tian Tian called for help.
Li Xiao looked up at Cheng Shaolin, who had already walked over, and asked, "Brother, is this something we didn't notice before, or what happened? Should we pull it out?"
"Let me take a look."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao quickly stood up and offered her seat to Cheng Shaolin.
This place is next to the courtyard wall, in a corner, there is a small gap there, the space is quite narrow.
Cheng Shaolin squatted down and tilted his head to look at the cactus hiding in the dark corner. It had only a small, tender green leaf that had just sprouted.
He frowned slightly and glanced back.
This place is several steps away from where the cactus was before, and it's in such a remote location.
If a leaf were to fall and reproduce, it wouldn't be this far away. So how did it end up in this corner?
He thought for a moment, then looked up at Yu Yanbin standing beside him. Both of them were smart men, and they could roughly figure it out just by looking at each other from this position.
"Pull it out." Yu Yanbin's emotionless voice rang out.
"Hmm." Cheng Shaolin responded softly, turned around, and without hesitation, uprooted the tender cactus.
Everyone gathered around to look at the cactus spread out in the palm of their hand. It was a vibrant green, with very small, tender leaves. Even the tiny thorns on it looked like fine, soft hairs.
Yu Yanbin fiddled with it a few times with his hand, "Heh."
He looked up at Cheng Shaolin, who was giving him a meaningful look.
Cheng Shaolin unleashed a bit of his supernatural power, and his palm gradually warmed up.
The cactus, which seemed perfectly normal, suddenly trembled as if it had been electrocuted.
At this moment, they both smiled meaningfully.
"Hey, hey, how, how did it move? Am I seeing things?" Tian Tian rubbed her eyes in disbelief. When she looked again, the cactus roots lying in her palm were still trembling uneasily.
"Ah!" Tian Tian pointed at the cactus and looked at Li Xiao with wide eyes.
Li Xiao was shocked. She had only had a slight suspicion at first, but she never expected it to be true.
"Heh, I didn't expect this to happen." Yu Yanbin chuckled twice, his eyes instantly turning cold.
"It almost escaped. Luckily, Xiaoxiao saw it, otherwise it would have really gotten away with it." Cheng Shaolin enhanced his superpower, and the temperature in his hand became even higher.
As the temperature rises, the cacti become even more vigorous.
Cheng Shaolin didn't stand on ceremony and quickly burned the cactus to ashes.
Looking at the small clump of ashes in his palm, Cheng Shaolin flipped his hand over, and the ashes all flew downwards.
"Go and check everywhere, just in case there are more," Cheng Shaolin said sternly, frowning.
"Go and search everywhere, especially the nooks and crannies. Check every corner carefully and don't miss a single place." Yu Yanbin gave the same order. In order to prevent future troubles, this was the only way.
Upon seeing this, no one dared to be careless in the slightest, and they all lowered their heads to carefully examine every part of the courtyard.
Shao Jie and his companion, who had just come downstairs, were unaware of what had happened. They saw everyone wandering around the courtyard with their heads down, as if searching for something, and they didn't understand what they were doing.
"What are you looking for?" he asked curiously as he approached.
Seeing them come down, Tian Tian quickly replied, "Look for cacti, see if there are any left." After saying that, she hurriedly continued searching with her head down.
Shao Jie was stunned when he heard this.
