The distance ahead is 300 meters.
Several people dressed in camouflage collapsed on the snow!
There were others, also injured, who were still desperately protecting Old Zheng as he retreated.
The one currently engaged in combat with the mutated vines is a young man.
He was using a Tang sword as his weapon. He tried to dodge and weave to distract the mutated vine, but he was attacked by it and ended up in a very sorry state.
Just then, the mutated vine seemed to have spotted his weakness!
Several vines began to mimic human combat methods, slowly wrapping around Zheng Rui from all sides.
Zheng Rui began to feel powerless, and it seemed that the purpose of the mutated vine was to wear down his fighting ability through a series of attacks.
"You guys go first! Quickly!"
“But you!”
"We'll stay! Xiao Wu, escort Old Zheng away first!"
"I...no..." Xiao Wu's eyes reddened as he forced back his grief and looked at his comrades-in-arms.
"This is an order!"
"Go...all of you go..." Zheng Rui was almost completely surrounded by the mutated vines, forming a cocoon.
He struggled to pick up the knife, but couldn't even finish a sentence.
The others were still working together, using multi-functional military knives to pull at the mutated vines, trying to give Zheng Rui a chance to survive.
But Old Zheng shouted in a heavy but firm voice, "Everyone! Retreat! Cough cough..."
The men holding military knives looked at the cocoon in front of them, thinking of Zheng Rui, who was trapped inside and whose fate was unknown.
They clenched their teeth, unable to distinguish whether the tears or sweat dripped onto the snow.
"yes!"
Obedience to orders is unconditional and cannot be negotiated.
Moreover, the person who must have been most heartbroken by issuing this order was probably Old Zheng.
They carried their comrades on their backs and then resolutely followed Old Zheng out of the vines' attack range!
When Shen Jing arrived, this was the scene she witnessed.
Old Zheng's military overcoat was pierced in several places by vines, and there were still some bloodstains on it.
She quickly stepped forward, "What's going on?"
Although Xiao Wu was heartbroken, he reacted quickly and grabbed Shen Jing: "Back off! There are vines ahead that could kill us!"
Old Zheng was already at his last gasp. He slightly opened his eyes and saw Shen Jing clearly. "Little Shen... hurry up and go..."
Gu Yan's fingers twitched slightly, noticing that there was only one wounded person ahead, that was...
A smile appeared on his face, knowing that it was his rival from a past life.
What a sorry sight! But he's about to die.
Shen Jing also noticed something was wrong, and she used her mental abilities to extend her detection.
They discovered the cocoon of the mutated vine, and there was actually someone inside!
Just as his comrades were grieving and distracted by the "death" of Zheng Rui,
Without hesitation, she took out a knife from her backpack and was about to rush forward.
Gu Yan wanted to take her hand, but he was too late.
Although he was clearly displeased, he still followed Shen Jing over. "You want to save him?"
"I'm just here for a walk!" That's ridiculous. What's the point of coming if you're not going to help people?
"Mind your own business!" Gu Yan muttered sullenly.
Shen Jing didn't have time to pay attention to his resentment; she had also been surrounded by Gu Yan's mutated vines before.
Knowing that there is air inside, a person can survive for a short period of time.
But the mutated vine in front of us is different from Gu Yan's; it's a failed product from the laboratory!
Who knows if there are any other unexpected changes?
Her psychic abilities penetrated deep into the cocoon, and she discovered that the mutated vines had now calmed down.
“The cocoon will slowly shrink,” Gu Yan said casually.
"What?" This is like being made into dumplings?
Gu Yan looked down at her anxious face and said in a warning tone, "I can save him, but you can no longer have contact with him."
Shen Jing nodded, "Quickly, save them."
Gu Yan coldly ran his fingertips around the mutated vine, "Promise me first."
"After much hesitation, I finally agreed."
"good."
Gu Yan smiled with satisfaction. He used his fingertips to apply a little force and broke a hole in the outside of the cocoon.
Shen Jing went over to help, "Do you know this person?"
Gu Yan's gaze towards her gradually turned strange, and his smile grew more pronounced. "You don't remember?"
While Gu Yan was suppressing the mutated vine, she cut the opening even wider.
Shen Jing carefully examined Zheng Rui's face. "Should I know him?"
Gu Yan smiled faintly, but his expression was one of immense pleasure. "Someone unimportant."
If it's unimportant, why did you care so much about it just now?
She glanced at Gu Yan suspiciously, pulling Zheng Rui away while trying to recall if she knew this person from her past life.
Unfortunately, she had absolutely no recollection of him.
When saving lives, one doesn't have time to think too much, and Shen Jing knows that Gu Yan, with his mysophobia, won't help.
All she could think about was how to get this person away from the cocoon of the mutated vine as soon as possible.
As a result, Gu Yan not only did not make a move, but he also stopped Shen Jing.
Gu Yan made a gesture to the group of dumbfounded camouflage-clad people.
Xiao Wu excitedly told Old Zheng, "They've...they've rescued him! Boss is alright!"
Even faster than he spoke, the others had already rushed forward.
I was really shocked just now. The mutated vines that were baring their fangs and claws before are now limp and hanging down on the ground.
It seems to have lost all its aggressiveness!
But they didn't let their guard down, and two of them protected Shen Jing and Gu Yan.
The others hurriedly dragged Zheng Rui out and then carried him away quickly.
"Comrades, please come back with us."
"Okay, you guys go first." Shen Jing cut off a piece of the mutated vine's remaining branch with a knife.
Upon seeing this, the group paused briefly before taking a section of the mutated vine.
After they had gone some distance, Gu Yan said calmly, "It's from the same source as what that bastard brought back last time."
Shen Jing turned to look at him: "This thing didn't exist in my past life..."
All plants and animals mutate naturally, right...?
What if the mutated plants in the previous life were also man-made?
Gu Yan remained calm. "There was no past life."
Because of his early intervention in this life, Gu Chen noticed some unusual phenomena.
However, there's nothing to fear. The laboratory's goal isn't to kill him, but to force him back to his family.
The murderous vine, and the one in Gu Yan's hand is also a mutated vine, which means that only he possesses the murder weapon.
Then Gu Yan can no longer use the mutated vine in front of others, otherwise he will become the murderer!
The second objective was for the Gu family to reappear as saviors when the mutated vines were rampaging...
Simple, straightforward, yet effective—perfect for the kind of thing Gu Chen would do.
Shen Jing was even more confused, "The snow disaster is so severe, why are they still conducting such perverted experiments?!"
"..." Isn't it normal to sell weapons in chaotic times?
However, Gu Yan didn't say it directly, so as not to make her put him and Gu Chen together.
Hmph, he wouldn't stoop to doing something like that.
Gu Yan drawled, "After all, not everyone can possess superpowers right now."
Shen Jing looked at the soldiers in front of her, her feelings complicated.
So many people were injured in a single attack by the mutated vine.
If an ordinary person were to encounter this, there would be even less chance of struggling.
She tried to calm herself down, but impulsively blurted out those words.
"Elemental abilities can activate superpowers, right?"
