Chapter 399 drooling with desire
Chapter 399 drooling with desire
"Is it Niu Niu?" someone asked in a low voice, their tone filled with the uncertainty of someone who had just survived a disaster.
"It must be Niu Niu! Didn't you see it eating those vines just now?"
"But... it hadn't even eaten anyone else yet, so how did those vines just disappear on their own?"
Discussions began, tinged with confusion and lingering fear.
DouDou's little face was still wet with tears, and she looked just as bewildered, but she quickly smiled through her tears: "NiuNiu is so amazing!"
Niu Niu slowly crawled back to the barrier where Dou Dou was, looking bewildered, while its whiskers stretched towards the flower market, as if it didn't want to miss out on this buffet.
Fu Xiaojian remained silent.
He stood inside the barrier, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Fan Wanwan and Xu Si.
What just happened happened so fast that he didn't have time to catch the details, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Those vines were definitely not destroyed, but rather "taken away".
And in the entire team, there are probably only two people who can do this.
Xu Si, who possesses unique qualities, and Fan Wanwan, who holds a botanist's degree.
He felt that Fan Wanwan was more likely to be the one.
If it were Xu Si, he would have intervened and dealt with the situation when he 'detonated' those seeds one by one.
He looked at Fan Wanwan, seemingly seeking an answer.
The woman was looking down at her empty palms, her expression one of perfect bewilderment.
But Fu Xiaojian always felt that something was missing from that expression.
He then looked at Xu Si, his meaning clear.
Naturally, they wanted to check one by one whether there were any hidden dangers in the convoy.
Seeing Yi Yi shake her head earnestly, he withdrew his gaze and temporarily suppressed his doubts.
"Jiang Li, the barrier can be removed now."
Jiang Li's face had already turned pale; maintaining dozens of barriers at high intensity had almost depleted her sequence energy.
Hearing Fu Xiaojian's words, she relaxed her grip with a sigh of relief, and the translucent light shields shattered silently like soap bubbles.
The moment the barrier was removed, a suppressed cry erupted in the camp.
The ordinary people who had been parasitized sat slumped on the ground. Some covered their faces and wept silently, some clung tightly to the people around them, and some looked down at the red marks left by the vines on their skin, their fingers trembling as they dared not touch them.
Although Jiao Jiao provided them with timely treatment, the psychological trauma was difficult to heal.
Ivan was the first to stand up.
The wound on the back of his hand had completely healed, and he showed no signs of dejection.
He simply looked at the 'Road Book' in his hand and sighed softly.
Yang Shu squatted on the ground, spread his wings out completely, and examined them over and over.
The dark red patterns had completely faded, leaving only a faint pink ring around the edges, as if they had been stained by something.
"Gone?" he muttered to himself, reaching out to touch it before quickly pulling his hand back, afraid that the vines might reignite.
Fang Bo lay motionless on the ground.
He looked up at the dark red sky above, his chest heaving violently, and a suppressed, almost choked gasp escaped his throat.
Allowing a monster to feed on you is not a pleasant experience for anyone.
However, the most fortunate thing is that I didn't die and lived for another day.
When the vines sprouted from his skin, he thought he was going to die.
It wasn't because of the vines themselves, but because he felt that perhaps dying wouldn't be so bad.
But at this moment, he is still alive, and there's nothing good about being alive.
He slowly sat up and reached out to touch the small, still-present red marks on his neck. He had thought that the places where the vines had sprouted would leave deep scars, but they hadn't.
When I gently pressed my finger on it, it felt the same; there seemed to be no difference.
In the center of the camp, Xu Si stood still, his gaze fixed on the stunning flower market in the distance.
Having had that experience, no one in the team would want to get in.
Xu Si also didn't want to go in, because even he found this thing eerie.
The sea of flowers that buried the entire city seemed to him more like the city's tombstone.
Central Camp
Fan Wanwan stood quietly in place, the little flower in her palm had completely disappeared without leaving a trace.
Her expression remained perfectly blank, like that of an ordinary woman who had been frightened and hadn't yet come to her senses.
But Xu Si noticed that her breathing was slower and deeper than usual, and it seemed that the sequence energy was also a little different.
It wasn't the calm that followed fear, but rather a kind of satisfaction.
Like a wild beast that has just finished a meal, enjoying the tranquility of digestion.
"Wanwan, are you alright?" As the barrier was lifted, Tashan walked towards Fan Wanwan.
He truly took Fu Xiaojian's words seriously.
Fan Wanwan seemed to be startled awake by the sound. Her body stiffened slightly, and then she turned to look at Tashan with a gentle smile on her face.
"It's nothing, I was just a little scared."
Before today, Fan Wanwan had always been happy to accept this man's advances.
However, now her gaze is more focused on the flower market in the distance.
Her future seems to lie there.
"It's good that you're alright!" Tashan said awkwardly, unsure of how to express himself.
Whether before or after the apocalypse, winning over women has never been his forte.
He could even be described as somewhat slow-witted.
If Fu Xiaojian hadn't mentioned it before, he wouldn't have thought of it at all.
Seeing Tashan looking somewhat helpless and only able to chuckle awkwardly, Xu Si withdrew his gaze.
He stopped staring at the two of them.
He already knows what he needs to know; the rest is up to the woman's own choice.
The chaos in the camp gradually subsided.
Jiao Jiao weaved through the crowd, and 'echoes' and 'recoveries' circulated among the convoy members as if they were free.
If we had maintained this refresh and feedback rate all along...
She might be the first member of the team to advance to Sequence 5.
Crow and Cow had already been taken back into the nest space by Bean.
DouDou immediately rejected NiuNiu's request to eat.
That thing is terrifying; even the outermost vines have this incredible ability.
If it were in the city center, or if it were a more advanced kind of eerie place, it would probably be a very dangerous situation for a level 2 Niu Niu.
Therefore, she definitely doesn't want Niu Niu to take any risks.
Moreover, the convoy is currently not short of supplies and does not need Niu Niu to produce supplies.
So she was even more unwilling to allow it.
The crows, however, only wanted to return to their nest space.
The pressure from outside was too great; at this moment, all it wanted to do was to live a life of ease and wait to die in the space.
Under Fu Xiaojian's command, the convoy retreated several miles until the outline of the flower market disappeared from everyone's sight.
For such an eerie city, aside from its scenery, no one would have any lingering attachment to it.
Only one strange creature, like an incompetent husband, coveted the flower market.
Xu Si also didn't want to cause any more trouble.
That 'real dragon' is still right before my eyes.
