Chapter 271 Caught

Not long after Jiang Minglang and Bai Li arrived at the gate, Qiao Fei also drove his men from the highway toward Pengcheng.

Hearing the sound of a car in the distance, the five teenagers who had just turned into zombies slowly turned their heads to look. Because they still retained a sliver of consciousness, they were also shocked by this sudden change in their minds.

Just as they were staring at each other, trying to communicate but only managing to utter a futile "ho," they heard the sound of a car gradually approaching.

The car then stopped about twenty meters away from them. The smell emanating from the people getting out of the car stimulated their bodies. Although they wanted to avoid the people, their instincts compelled them to pounce on them without hesitation.

These zombies were unlucky; they had only recently become zombified, and the effects of the drug that gave them supernatural powers hadn't yet kicked in. They hadn't even entered the city gates when they ran into Qiao Fei.

Therefore, the processing becomes very simple.

But no one felt relieved because of this. After the first one, five more came. What about the next one?

How many ordinary people and survivors are these people holding in their hands?
What do they want to do to humanity?
The city gates opened, and Zhang Shaoda drove the car with Lao Sheng in the passenger seat, Jiang Minglang and Bai Li in the back, while Shi Jiashu was left inside the city in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Even Xi Yu came from Yunxi Village to stand guard at the city gate with Shi Jiashu.

The moment the car drove out of the city gate, Bai Li sent out several vines that quickly crawled away in all directions.

As her pregnancy progressed, her supernatural abilities continued to grow. Now, even though she was in Yunxi Village, she could monitor the situation at the North Gate.

Bai Li placed her hand on her belly, and the little one gently kicked her with his little foot.

It's foreseeable that this is a child with the same wood-type ability as her.

Having scouted the area beforehand, Qiao Fei drove extremely fast. When he arrived at a medium-sized auto parts factory in northern Gaocheng, he stopped the car.

However, this is not where those people once or now stayed. Rather, it is where he discovered that those people are currently located, within a radius of no more than ten kilometers.

"The entrance to the breeding farm is marked five kilometers to the west."

One of the green ivy plants detected the group's presence, and after seeing the three large characters "breeding farm," Bai Li's delicate eyebrows furrowed. "The gate to the breeding farm is tightly closed, and they are about to open it and go in."

From Green Ivy's perspective, Bai Li could see that they drove three black minivans, and a total of fifteen people got out of the vehicles, leaving three drivers in the cars.

Upon receiving confirmation, they immediately rushed over at breakneck speed.

However, there were still two kilometers left.
"One of them has a hearing ability; they heard the noise of our car."

At this point, the pothos vines hidden at the entrance of the farm were no longer just one, but twelve. And as Bai Li approached, the pothos vines not only grew longer, but also increased in number.

When Bai Li noticed that one of them was looking in their direction, she went all out. Countless green vines sprouted from all around, almost instantly surrounding the eighteen people who had just opened the gate to enter the farm.

Just then, Bai Li heard one of them shout, "It's Bai Li, Jiang Minglang's wife."

Bai Li: ? ? ?
Why use two names for the same person?
Bai Li herself had no idea that this was how people outside always referred to her, and sometimes they would add, "These two, do they even want anyone to live?"

She was never good at interacting with people before the apocalypse, and even after gaining powerful abilities, she remained very low-key. Since she didn't care about her reputation, she naturally didn't pay any special attention to it.

Initially, Jiang Minglang wanted to hide Bai Li's supernatural abilities from the outside world for her safety, but he later abandoned this idea, thinking that it would have a deterrent effect on the outside world.

At least those who are blind won't bother us.

And that is indeed the case. Just like the three bases that visited before, Bai Li still feels lingering fear when she talks about it. She really can kill people silently and without them even being there.

Who knows what will happen in the future? In any case, so far no one has been able to suppress Bai Li's superpowers.

So when Wendy and You Junyan saw the green ivy sprouting around them, the first thing they thought of was her!
The presence of pothos plants means that Bai Li is not far away from them.

Without time to think about the five people he had just released, or He Yan, who was supposed to have a big outburst today, why the six of them hadn't managed to attract the attention of these powerful figures in Pengcheng, Wendion decisively ordered his men, "You protect Old You and get him out of here, quick!"

After saying that, a huge fireball appeared in his right palm. He swung it at the green ivy, and immediately threw a second one. He forcefully tore a gap in the dense, wildly growing green ivy. Then, together with three other ability users, he protected the bespectacled man in the middle and moved him towards the door.

"They're going to run!"

As soon as Bai Li finished speaking, the car was still speeding along when Lao Sheng opened the door and jumped out.

As soon as he ran, a speedster jumped out of Qiao Fei's car right behind him, and the two of them disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the entrance of the farm, Wendion unleashed his fire magic and his men's superpowers on Bai Li's pothos plants as if they were free. However, the more they attacked, the more alarmed they became, because the pothos plants seemed inexhaustible. Just when they managed to tear open a hole, the opening was quickly blocked by even more pothos vines, and even more were coming.

They grow wildly without roots, their long, snake-like tendrils encircling them. Their long bodies, large, strangely shaped leaves, and powerful vines that lash out are truly something to behold.

Previously, they had heard that Bai Li's special ability was different from other wood-type abilities, not only having good defensive capabilities but also being extremely powerful offensively. They were actually somewhat dismissive of this, thinking that it was just to give Jiang Minglang, this big shot, a chance to glorify his wife. They had exaggerated her abilities from three points to ten.

Tch, what's the use?

In the face of strength, the higher you boast, the faster you'll die.

Is it really that much hype?

At this moment, Wendion and his group could only say, "What a load of bull! Not only did they not boast, but they were being far too subtle."

If you're being honest, they would have run back to their old hideout in the southwest as soon as they released the zombies; they wouldn't have dared to stay here and cause any more trouble.

Of course, one of the reasons is that Bai Li is too much of a homebody. Not to mention leaving Pengcheng, she rarely even leaves Yunxi Village.

Therefore, very few people have actually witnessed her fighting prowess.

Wendy didn't know whether she should say she was lucky to have witnessed the power of the legendary wood-type master.

Before the person even arrived, the vines sprouted endlessly.

So where is her superpower level now?
In fact, no definitive standard has yet been developed regarding the levels of superpowers.

However, I heard it's coming soon. Kyoto is reportedly researching a machine to test human supernatural abilities. The machine can detect the supernatural energy within a person and then classify it into different levels based on the energy level.

Originally, Wendy was thinking that once the machine was made, there would definitely be some announcements about people with high superpowers, and there might even be dual-type and tri-type superpowered individuals, which would make it easier for them to capture people.

However, now...
"Everyone, protect Old Yu and get him out of here." Wendion realized he might be in trouble today, but it didn't matter if he fell; Old Yu had to be saved. Without him, it would be difficult to purify the blood extracted from the superhumans.

Old Yu is more important than him, so we should prioritize protecting him.

The group gritted their teeth and focused their attack on one spot, using metal, fire, and earth elements simultaneously. After tearing an opening through the flying green vines, they even used their bodies to clear a path for You Junyan.

After finally managing to move to the doorway, I saw that all three cars were tied up by pothos plants.

Wendy made a quick decision, "You carry him on your back, quick!"

A speed-type ability user, under the cover of others, carried You Junyan on his back and ran. Bai Li saw this but did not stop him, because she knew he couldn't escape.

Sure enough, the speed-type ability user carrying the other person had only run less than fifty meters when he was suddenly kicked on the head. With a thud, he felt his brains sloshing around inside his head, and his body involuntarily fell to the side.

Then, with a loud thud, he and the person he was carrying crashed into a withered sycamore tree by the roadside.

When he fell to the ground and tried to get up, his arm had been dislocated and his ankle was snapped with a crack.

But he ignored the pain and quickly turned to look for Dr. You.

"Dr. You."

Did I give you permission to speak?

As soon as he finished speaking, the speed-based superhuman's jaw was also dislocated.

Meanwhile, Dr. You, whom he cared about, was tied up by Zhao Kang, a speed-type ability user under Qiao Fei who had come with Lao Sheng. Just like Lao Sheng, Zhao Kang dislocated his arms and jaw.

That wasn't the end of it; after dislocating his arm, the two of them gave him a good beating.

Damn it, a bunch of bastards, they actually injected a normal person with the zombie virus.

After beating them up, they each carried one of them back home.

When Jiang Minglang, Qiao Fei, and the others arrived, Wendy and the others were still fighting a bloody battle with Bai Li's Green Ivy. The group of more than a dozen people had exhausted most of their superpowers, and their faces were pale, but they still couldn't break through. On the other hand, Bai Li, who was sitting in the car, had a calm expression and a rosy face, as if using these superpowers had no effect on her at all.

"did you see it?"

As soon as Qiao Fei got out of the car, he whispered to Sanpao beside him, "You guys better keep your eyes open in the future. Don't offend Bai Li easily. She's too ruthless."

Three cannons:
They've always been very discerning, okay? They never offend Sister Bai for no reason. But you, Boss, have offended her several times already because of a dog's loose tongue.

He really wanted to say, "You're the one who doesn't know what's going on, Boss!"

But Qiao Fei obviously didn't realize this, and kept banging on the cannon several times. Annoyed, he simply pushed down with an earthen wall, pressing the two people surrounded by green vines to the ground.

Wendy had seen Jiang Minglang's photo before, and as soon as she saw him get out of the car, she immediately stopped her attack and also told her men to stop in order to reduce unnecessary casualties.

Bai Li tied them up with a pothos plant before gracefully getting off the bus, her large pregnant belly protruding.

She walked straight up to Wendion, stared down at him for a few seconds, and then shifted her gaze to a first-aid kit on the ground inside the door.

Using the pothos plant to pull the item over, Sanpao quickly stepped forward, took it, and opened it. Inside were six small, transparent test tubes.

"What is this for?"

Wendy pursed her lips and remained silent.

Bai Li scoffed, "You're the ones who brought those mutated animals in and locked them up, aren't you? What are you planning? To drug them, then lure them to Pengcheng, and turn them into zombies?"

They're really stirring up trouble one wave after another, never letting up.

The interrogation had nothing to do with Bai Li, and she wouldn't interfere. She simply turned to Jiang Minglang and asked, "There are five pigs and three cows in here. Should we take them back?"

Since you said you were going to bring it, how could you not?

"I'll take care of it. You can go back to your car and rest."

The rest was not Bai Li's responsibility, and Jiang Minglang, having heard that there were live animals in the farm, would not allow her to go in and risk it. Although nothing could hurt her if he followed her, it was better not to go in just in case.

Bai Li glanced around at the dilapidated surroundings. Because no one lived there, and after experiencing heavy snow and scorching heat, many houses and walls had collapsed. Normal trees had died, and those that survived were all mutated.

Perhaps because her wood-type abilities have improved, she now looks at those mutated trees like she's looking at children, and feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity with them.

For example, a hibiscus tree about thirty meters away from her seemed to be swaying its blossoms gently as she looked at it, as if it were greeting her in a very friendly manner.

Bai Li's lips curled slightly, but she then sighed helplessly.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, the mutations in plants were not obvious, or rather, there were not many plant mutations. However, as time went on and the environment continued to deteriorate, not only did all the animals undergo a complete overhaul, but even the plants seemed to have gained intelligence and wanted to compete with humans and animals for territory.

Humans seem to have a dominant position in the short term, but what about later?
Humanity faces not only animals and plants, but also natural disasters and man-made calamities.
She sat in the car, gently stroking her belly, her eyes filled with a hint of worry. Her second child would be born into an apocalypse.

Fortunately, her parents and brother are strong enough to protect her and accompany her as she grows up.

What will happen to animals and plants in the future is unpredictable, and natural disasters are beyond human control, but man-made disasters are the first thing that can be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Bai Li turned her head to look out the window, her gaze lingering on the man called 'Old You' who was being protected by the crowd as he rushed out.

Old You?

You Junyan?
The male doctor who wanted to arrest Zeng Mei?
After returning to the city in the afternoon, Zeng Bei heard that You Junyan had been captured. He gritted his teeth, rushed in, and gave the man a severe beating.

Damn it, so many of his comrades-in-arms were killed by this bastard.

Beaten to the point of near death, You Junyan laughed while spitting blood, "Haha. You think you're done after capturing me? Let me tell you the truth, as long as I'm captured, those people will be released."

good night!
