On the sunlit Main Street, scattered Zombies wandered aimlessly, seemingly unaware of the threat posed by the nearby plant. Some of these aimless, mindless Zombies even approached the giant Carnivorous Plant without realizing they were in danger.
As it continued to feed, the Carnivorous Plant's petals became more vibrant. Despite the absence of wind, its leaves swayed up and down, changing direction until it finally faced the sun and let out a sigh of relief.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
The rhythmic sound of breathing caused the approaching Team to exchange glances. They had seen turtles move at lightning speed and rabbits that could hunt tigers, but now even a plant seemed to have its own consciousness, capable of breathing and sleeping?! This...
"Well, it's normal, right? It's the apocalypse after all. Hehehe..."
Except for one little princess who had always lived under protection and had never been on the 'front lines.'
"What kind of monster is this? I hope it doesn't suddenly pop out from the ground later; that would be terrifying~"
Liu Xindream patted her chest, feigning fright as she spoke softly. Unfortunately, her delicate voice did not evoke any sympathy; instead, it drew a group of hostile glares. Everyone was already tense from encountering an unfamiliar monster, and her words only heightened their anxiety!
A man of average height and appearance stood behind her, Protecting Her, and he was already annoyed by her behavior.
In the pre-apocalypse world, girls like her might have stirred protective instincts in many men. But now, in this post-apocalyptic setting while on a mission, one careless mistake could lead to disaster. This woman was scared by a Third-Level Zombie and screamed, instantly attracting dozens of Zombies.
If he weren't under her father's command, he would have taken care of her long ago. Instead, due to his trembling legs, he had to carry her. It took them half an hour to cover less than two kilometers. Now listening to her nonsense made him finally lose his temper and drop her from his back.
"Can you please speak properly? Don't you know how dangerous J City is?! You're already useless and still looking for trouble?!"
His disdainful tone made Liu Xindream furious, but she wasn't foolish enough to retort. She was weak and had just made a mistake; she would definitely need their protection later. Causing discord now would only harm herself, so she wisely pouted and fell silent.
"Hmph! I'll deal with you when we get back to base!"
"Shh!"
Liu You'er listened to the noise behind her, her expression cold.
"Take it out while it's sleeping! Liu Xindream and Coward will hold the line and take care of the Zombie we lure in. The rest of you come with me!"
Liu Xindream was satisfied with this arrangement, but Coward was displeased upon hearing this.
"What do you mean? How do we account for killing this monster? Chuze said that besides 100 gold coins for bringing back its corpse, we could also get a bottle of Advanced Liquid!"
Advanced Liquid is different from Evolution Liquid; Evolution Liquid can enhance abilities and is used to break through barriers, potentially allowing someone at an early stage to advance to a mid-stage, but it also depends on luck. However, Advanced Liquid is different; just a small bottle can allow an Evolver to directly advance—going from Second-Level to Level Two, and from Level Two to Third Level.
Although a person can only use it once in their lifetime and it is only applicable to those below Sixth Level, for him at Sixth Level, it was like a shining mountain of gold.
"You'll exert the same effort staying here. The Zombies that come later might even have five Sixth Levels! Just hope you don't ask for help then!"
Though Coward frowned at the slightly provocative tone, he knew this was the truth and obediently stood there.
He was only at the late stage of Sixth Level himself; if a Sixth Level Zombie really came, it would indeed be troublesome. He turned his gaze to Liu Xindream beside him, who looked pale, and sighed silently.
He could only hope she wouldn't hold them back.
Liu You'er observed the softened attitudes of those around her and sighed inwardly.
Finally listening~
But she really couldn't understand why things were like this. It shouldn't be the case; after all, the battle with Zhao Ling had caused a stir throughout the base. The moment she stepped outside, she attracted attention like a monkey, with almost everyone discussing how impressive she was and how badly Zhao Ling had been beaten. Because of the hassle, she hadn't gone out for several days.
Yet why did these accompanying Ability users not believe in her strength so much? Day after day, they mocked her and looked down on her. If she hadn't just taken down those five Zombies to prove her strength, Coward might have even tried to fight her.
What she didn't know was that while she was at home, Zhao Ling was glowing with health and patrolling energetically. Everyone found her condition puzzling; wasn't she supposed to be seriously injured?
In less than half a day, someone claimed that Zhao Ling's injuries were serious, but it was actually a rumor spread by the subordinates of Radiant Lightning. Zhao Ling had merely underestimated her opponent and sustained minor injuries. Clearly, people preferred to accept this explanation; after all, no one wanted the image of a revered figure in their hearts to be shattered.
Naturally, they considered those to be "rumors," and Radiant Lightning was probably just that.
In a world devoid of entertainment, rumors spread like wildfire throughout the base. This news rekindled the spirits of those who had been somewhat disheartened, even more so than before.
The impression of Liu You'er shifted from envy and admiration to disdain, viewing her as nothing more than a scheming rat.
This plan had originally been orchestrated by Chuze to help her evade inspection. As a member of the base himself, he could not allow its reputation to suffer or its morale to wane.
So when she left, Chuze "thoughtfully" informed her that the road would be easier to navigate when it rained, while other routes would flood. As a result, she "just happened" to run into Liu Xinxuan and her group! It was "just coincidental" that they healed Zhao Ling's injuries.
Evading inspection, defeating Zhao Ling, tricking Liu Xinxuan into providing treatment, and restoring the base's reputation...
It was all intricately planned out... However, Liu You'er would only realize this later; for now, the priority was to eliminate this plant.
She didn't care about anything else, but the Core hidden within the Evolved Plant had an absorption rate of 100%. If given to Little Red, the unique healing power of the Evolved Plant's Core might awaken it!
In less than ten minutes, the Zombies on Main Street had mostly been dealt with by Liu You'er and another Level Five speed ability user. Given the urgency of the situation, only they could effectively eliminate them before the Zombies could roar.
As for those further away, Liu You'er discreetly used her Mental Power to drive them off.
She gave a thumbs-up behind her; the other Ability users hiding in the alley quietly emerged and followed Liu You'er. As for Xuan Mo, unless ordered by the doctor, he saw no need to act and remained on the second floor of a small supermarket to watch the show.
A gentle breeze stirred up dust from the ground, creating a faint rustling sound that seemed unusually pronounced in the stillness of the street.
Why was it so quiet?
As Liu You'er halted, the four people behind her were about to say something when she shouted, "Scatter!" The next second, she grabbed someone nearby and vanished from sight.
Others were taken aback, and it took a second for them to react. Unfortunately, the Carnivorous Plant's leaves had already rapidly extended, wrapping around an Ability user.
The captured Ability user realized he was completely ensnared and unable to move. In a hurry, he activated his metal transformation. He was already at Level Five, and bullets couldn't penetrate his defense. Who would have thought that these seemingly fragile leaves would ignore his ability and tighten their grip? The pain made him scream, and the white bone at his shoulder was even pressed against the skin.
"Ahhh! Help me! Help me!"
Hearing his cries, the others turned pale, except for Liu You'er and the person she had rescued.
"You spoke up for me earlier; I'll save you this time. We're even now."
The man was somewhat surprised by her words. At that moment, he had only been annoyed by the noise and had no intention of helping her. He didn't expect to encounter such a person in this apocalypse.
His expression unchanged, he turned to look at the Ability user who was now completely entangled and had lost all semblance of humanity, ultimately being stuffed into the Big Mouth.
"I'm Xiang Chuyun. Let's cooperate!"
Liu You'er raised an eyebrow and calmly asked him, "You just reached Level Seven; what do you have to offer?"
Not far away, the loud crunching sound of chewing could be heard, but it did not interrupt their conversation. The two who had narrowly escaped earlier were less than five meters away from joining them.
Xiang Chuyun chuckled lightly and stepped forward, closing the distance between them to less than half a meter. This made Liu You'er feel somewhat uncomfortable, but she held her ground. He towered over her by more than half a head, so he slightly leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"I can see through my opponent's weaknesses."
