Chapter 940: Lu Xi's Acceleration Special Ability
The team led by Peng Liang had seventy-two people. Excluding the seven killed by Kou Ning outside with a single blow and the three whose arms were chopped off, there were only about 60 people left.
"I don't care about the others, but the lives of these two, I want them,"
Guo Yang pointed at Peng Liang and the fierce-looking Chen Nong, simply because these two had provoked them more than once and had even threatened their safety.
"I, I am an Invisibility Ability User. If used properly, I can get you a lot of things, you can't kill me!"
Peng Liang still didn't know how he was discovered, but none of that mattered now. He just wanted to survive.
"Just as well, we don't lack anything,"
Guo Yang found Peng Liang a bit noisy. An iron needle pierced into a pressure point on Peng Liang's body, and he immediately felt a heart-piercing pain all over, but he could only keep his mouth wide open, unable to make any sound.
No one present saw how Guo Yang inserted the needle into Peng Liang's body. Now, they all had to face the matter of how to deal with the remaining people.
"Please let us go. We promise not to follow you anymore,"
Tian Xinmei sobbed, snot and tears mingling. Just now, Kou Ning had scared her to death. Who said people from the Heart Talk Team were soft-hearted? Why did she feel like every one of them was like a devil?
"I say we just finish them all, clear and quiet,"
Kou Ning said from the side.
"The way you kill, I'm afraid zombies from hundreds of miles around could be attracted,"
Lin Xiuyuan still remembered Kou Ning's brutal killing methods outside.
"Hand over the mastermind of this matter, and the remaining people…"
Su Jin just felt a headache. Couldn't all these people go kill zombies? Still, she took out a handful of seeds and planted them in those people in front of everyone.
Tang Xue also thought this was the best method—only deal with a few masterminds, and the remaining people would also be sufficiently intimidated.
Tian Xinmei never thought that she would be identified as the mastermind by the remaining dozens of people.
"It's not me, I didn't, I really didn't,"
Tian Xinmei hastily shook her head and said.
"If you guys weren't the most enthusiastic, we would only have followed them to the next base from a distance,"
Zhai Qiang said.
"Pah, easy for you to say. Didn't you get tempted when you heard about the RV and supplies? This was all your own choice!"
Tian Xinmei shouted, seemingly intending to rush in and make a scene.
"Guo Yang, shut her up,"
Lu Hao frowned and said. Even after reaching H Province base, he would still have Guan Shouzhong keep an eye on this group.
Early the next morning, Tian Xinmei was turned into tree fertilizer in front of the remaining people. Zhai Qiang and the others, though freed, just wanted to distance themselves from Su Jin as far as possible, thinking of the time bombs in their bodies.
Besides Tian Xinmei, Peng Liang and Chen Nong were also quietly dealt with by Guo Yang.
"Remember, the seeds in your body will always be there. If I find out you harm others again, a tree is what's awaiting you,"
Su Jin said to those people before leaving.
"Rest assured, we won't think of crooked ways again in the future,"
Zhai Qiang agreed, now just hoping these people would leave quickly, determined never to encounter them again.
"Why do I feel like we're the bad guys?"
Su Xiangzhe said, seeing the way those people avoided them like the plague.
"Bad guys, then bad guys. We don't care about that. I just want to get back to S City base quickly,"
Su Jin was still thinking about the Snow Spirit Flower. Last night, staying with Tang Xue and others, she wasted a night in nurturing the Snow Spirit Flower. Once back at the base, she had to be a proper Flower Farmer.
However, after entering the RV and bringing Lu Xi and Lu Wang into the space, she found that the Snow Spirit Flower had sprouted another branch. On that branch, there was a small, tightly closed flower bud, indicating that the Spirit Field was indeed very beneficial to the growth of the Snow Spirit Flower.
Plus, with the one from Yin Chengtian, they now had three Snow Spirit Flowers. It was a good development.
"Flower~ Flower~"
Lu Xi also slid down from Su Jin's side, looking happily at the flower bud. A soft glow of wood element ability released from her small hand, making Su Jin's eyes widen.
Lu Xi actually directly caused that tiny flower bud to bloom!
"Xixi! You…"
Su Jin didn't dare disturb Lu Xi, as she wanted to see how Lu Xi made it bloom. To know that the pot of Snow Spirit Flower she gave to Yin Chengtian had been nurtured for three days, yet it still looked the same.
"What's going on?"
Lu Hao and Nie Qing had just entered the space when they heard Su Jin's exclamation, so they quickly ran over.
Lu Xi was clapping happily around the Snow Spirit Flower she had made bloom. Su Jin told the two about what had just happened.
"Could it be because Lu Xi's wood element ability is very strong?"
Su Jin couldn't help but think, is her child an ability prodigy?
"Probably not. Xixi hasn't advanced her ability,"
Lu Hao couldn't explain why either.
Nie Qing also scratched his chin in thought. He had seen how slow Su Jin was in nurturing the Snow Spirit Flower, but this Lu Xi… why did she have such an ability? He couldn't say.
"Maybe this child just has a special affinity with this Snow Spirit Flower…"
Nie Qing could only make up such a reason.
"It's just a pity Xixi only likes to nurture it for two or three minutes each time,"
Su Jin said with some regret.
"Take it slow,"
Lu Hao comforted. Now that the Snow Spirit Flower could even sprout branches in the Spirit Field, it was only a matter of time before more Snow Spirit Flowers grew.
Su Jin transplanted the newly grown Snow Spirit Flower to another patch of Spirit Field, hoping they could each grow another on their own.
Watching Su Jin, who was again nurturing the Snow Spirit Flower, Lu Hao picked up Lu Xi and Lu Wang, heading back into Lu Residence, not letting them disturb Su Jin.
...
After the Peng Liang incident, the Heart Talk Team, along with Tang Xue and the others, sped up considerably, reaching H Province base by the afternoon.
This time, however, Guan Shouzhong and the others did not personally come to greet them.
It's not like they always needed someone to greet them, but after completing the entry procedures, Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin noticed something unusual in the base.
"Xiaowei, Xiaowei!"
Yin Chengtian saw a familiar person. Last time he and Shi Jin stayed here for a while, they made a few friends, with Wei Gaoyi being one of them.
"Xiaotian? Shitou! What brings you here?"
Wei Gaoyi turned to see them, his face revealing undisguised delight as he asked.
"Just passing through, we're planning to return to the S City base after a rest. Did something happen at the base?"
Yin Chengtian asked.
"Ah, yes, but it's basically settled now."
Wei Gaoyi sighed.
Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin exchanged glances. 'Basically settled'—what did that mean?
