Chapter 294: Black Vines

Yao Ran frowned and added, "When my wood element energy connected with the mutant plants, they began devouring it. I think those plants are actually part of a single organism."

She paused for a second and added, her voice tinged with worry, "A Yu, I think there is a giant mutant plant surrounding Juncheng City, in addition to the mutant rat king. This mission... I'm afraid it's going to be hard for any of us to make it out alive."

Listening to what she said, Long Yu responded in a heavy tone, "Even if we don't make it out alive, we must complete this mission. Canceling it will only delay our deaths. It won't solve the problem."

Lowering his voice, he added, "When the mutant rat king appears, I will find a way to separate from the others. I plan to use my wind element ability to kill it from a distance."

Yao Ran pondered for a moment before replying, "Then I will handle the mutant plant. With my wood element ability, I can locate its core."

Long Yu hesitated but eventually agreed. He didn't want her to take the risk, but she was the only one who could deal with the mutant plant.

"Fine," he said. "But retreat immediately if the situation becomes dangerous."

"Alright."

After finalizing their plan, the two joined the others and rested in an abandoned building until sunset.

Before leaving, Wu Lian said, "We will split into three teams. Destroy the designated areas, then retreat immediately and regroup here. Is it clear?"

Yao Ran raised her hand and said, "I've noticed many mutant plants around the city. Please be careful, everyone. There might be a powerful mutant plant in Juncheng City."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in acknowledgment. Wu Lian gave them a solemn look and said, "I hope we all can make it back alive."

With that, everyone prepared their weapons, backpacks, and explosives. Since the sound of engines would attract mutant rats, they continued the rest of the journey to the city center on foot.

Once Wu Lian and the soldiers left, Long Yu looked at his friends and said, "A Xuan, A Qian, Jia Xiang-you guys will handle the business center. Ran Ran and I will take the shopping center."

"Yes, Captain," they replied in unison.

Long Yu held Yao Ran's hand and gave the order, "Let's move."

The five of them left the abandoned building and headed directly to the city center.

Unlike Wu Lian's squad, Long Yu's team specialized in infiltration, assassination, and reconnaissance. Sneaking into a city overrun by hundreds of thousands of mutant rats was challenging but manageable for them.

With Yao Ran using her wood element energy to scout ahead, their journey was smooth, dealing with only a few mutant rats and no mutant plants in sight. After three hours of non- stop movement, they reached the city center.

At the fork in the road, Shi Xuan and the others need to turn left toward the business center, while Long Yu and Yao Ran must head right to reach the shopping center.

"Be careful," Long Yu said as they parted ways.

The three nodded and disappeared around the corner. After they left, Long Yu turned to Yao Ran, took her hand, and said, "Let's go."

Countless black vines covered the walls, and grotesque faces and eyes covered the vines as thick as an adult's body. His grip on the binoculars tightened as his eyes flickered with murderous intent. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}
