Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The entire Hongyan Forest was covered by vast shadows, no different from the night. One had to turn on their headlights to see the road ahead.

Currently, they had to stop because a few trucks had overturned in front of them, blocking the road.

Luodeng opened the car door and saw a baby’s corpse inside. It had starved to death as its hand gripped the car door tightly.

He quickly pulled out the key to open the back of the car and found that it was filled with boxes of mineral water.

“That’s unexpected!” The others cheered, but Luodeng was listless and dispirited. Living in a closed mountain village, he didn’t have a deep understanding of what the entire world had become.

The second car was filled with instant self-heating food, and the third car was a military vehicle. It was carrying military supplies, including military canned food, compressed biscuits, chocolate, and energy drinks. There was also a huge case of guns and ammunition.

“This is great! The car can still be driven!” Bai Yanhui whistled.

He Qiang saluted the car with an unusually serious expression. “…This used to belong to the company that was stationed in Tibet.”

There was a moment of silence.

Instead, He Qiang was the first to turn around. “Let me drive this car. We can’t waste these supplies. They gave their lives up for them.”

Tang Susu then asked Luodeng to move the drinking water to another truck that could still be driven and bring it back to the village. It would be useful for them.

Luodeng didn’t want it, but when he thought of his family and the people in the village, he could only grit his teeth and dispose of the baby’s body.

Everyone had become much stronger. They easily moved the cars that were blocking the road to the side. Some of the vines that were in the way were pulled away. If they were hanging on to the cars, they would use their weapons to cut them down and continue driving.

After they had moved for some distance, the vines that had been quiet suddenly moved quickly, forming a thick ‘vine wall’ at the place where they had stopped just now, completely blocking their way out!

Such “vine walls” covered almost every section of the road at the same time. Some were hanging down, while others were entangled together.

If one were to look down from a higher vantage point, one would find that the group seemed to have fallen into a large-scale trap. The vines that looked like withered branches were like gears that could be adjusted and turned flexibly at any time!

“Something’s wrong…” Tang Susu’s eyes and ears were extraordinary. After a moment of silence, she heard movements that were so subtle that it would be almost impossible to hear.

The entire forest was eerily quiet. Forget about the birds and the animals, they couldn’t even hear the sounds of the insects.

And in this deathly silence, something was moving quickly, faster and faster, closer and closer…

“Susu, we’re surrounded!” Lu Yunxiang shouted over the radio. She was a Chlorokinetic, so she had an amazing ability to sense plants. That was also how she found that there were crystal cores in those trees.

Eighth also said, “If Changming is here, he can communicate with these plants!”

He couldn’t understand it. With the Boss’s love for Tang Susu, why didn’t he send Changming over since she wanted to enter the Red Rock Forest?

“Right on top of us!” Suddenly, a scream was heard. The others instantly looked up and saw that the space above them was formed by countless vines that were like tree stems and were gradually pressing down.

Unlike the roots of the mutated trees, which were more flexible, these vines had oddly shaped stems that were hardened. If they were tied to a person’s body, they would definitely hurt their bodies!

‘Host, this is the mutated Blood Vine “Sargentodoxa Cuneata” that you are looking for. It is the guardian of the forest. Its defense is rated at rank 1. It does not actively attack humans. It will automatically protect the land that it was grown in.’

Tang Susu didn’t expect such a thing to exist.

‘Host, you need to find the main body of this Blood Vine within an hour. Otherwise, you will be completely trapped here and will never be able to leave. When that happens, other mutated plants can easily take your lives.’

As 008 spoke, Tang Susu quickly got out of the car. “Everyone, stay where you are. Be careful! As long as we don’t move, these vines will slow down.”

Then, he called Luodeng, Lu Yunxiang, and Eighth and entered the dense vegetation on the right side of the road.

Mr. Tang looked worried. “Mingqi, Mingzhou, do you want to follow them?”

“Susu told us to protect the others. Staying here doesn’t mean it’s safe.” Tang Mingqi took out his radio and started giving out the orders..
