Main Character:

Shen Yao

In their first exchange, both sides were very cautious.

Shen Chengyi did not unleash a big move right away; although the lightning she threw looked scary, it actually contained little energy inside—just a flashy facade.

The Mutant Man-eating Vine opposite looked frenzied, but its swaying vines did not actively attack; instead, they chose to circle within the nearby range.

Even if Shen Chengyi slashed at the vine's roots and stems, it was merely an attempt; the corpses that rose from the dead and fell were one of the vine's responses. Unless all these disturbances were killed or exhausted, she truly could not carve through the Mutant Man-eating Vine's territory.

Corpses of people or animals constantly walked into her range and exploded directly; the shockwaves caused Shen Chengyi no inconvenience, but this repeated provocation made her very displeased.

Tsk

Could it be that the Mutant Man-eating Vine thought she would not dare to attack or had misgivings? Heaven knew Shen Chengyi was merely thinking how to quickly dispose of this Mutant Man-eating Vine before her, after all there were still many human-shaped bombs waiting to explode inside the Shelter; the longer time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it was for them.

Holding the Long Blade in her hand, ready to slide at any moment, Shen Chengyi's forward running speed suddenly increased; she came before the corpse like lightning, and with just a flash of her body, she hacked the corpse in half.

Before it could explode, it lost its original ability to move; the corpse stood in place, unwillingly making sounds, as if wailing in sorrow, or as if cursing.

Shen Chengyi had no mood to investigate what these corpses were saying; her target had always been only this Mutant Man-eating Vine.

Constantly leaping forward and leaping again, Shen Chengyi's movements were neat and efficient; these were advantages brought about by the evolution of the ability within her body—whether in strength or speed, she could now compare with Mutant Creatures.

The corpses that ran out basically lay on the Ground; they quickly lost their Vitality, like a lump of wind-dried Meat, and were reeled back in by the wandering vines.

Boom boom boom!

She threw several more bolts of lightning, releasing them into the area around the Mutant Man-eating Vine; the gathered vines were blasted everywhere by the lightning, liquid of indistinct color flowed from the broken ends of the vines, and at the same time they emitted a rotten, pungent smell.

Perhaps Shen Chengyi, this little bug jumping around, was truly annoying; perhaps Shen Chengyi's movements had injured her own body; the Mutant Man-eating Vine was no longer as calm and gentle as before; it began to become fierce and violent. The vines that originally only moved within the circled range began to attack toward Shen Chengyi's position; one vine after another came and went, as if they all wanted to pounce on Shen Chengyi, drag her into the vine's body, and make her part of the vine.

An Evolver's energy was several times that of an Ordinary Person; Mutant Creatures were also picky eaters—if they could eat a main course with its own flavor, they would definitely abandon tasteless little snacks.

The Long Blade in Shen Chengyi's hand was waved about; the vines surrounding her were hacked into sections, finally clattering down onto the Ground.

Liquid of unknown composition sprayed everywhere; unfortunately Shen Chengyi was still wearing a Protective Suit produced by the Laboratory, which could resist these corrosive liquids, and they could not affect her at all.

The vines became increasingly dense; new branches slowly grew from the originally broken roots; all of this belonged to the abilities of Mutant Creatures—as long as the ability within her body was not exhausted, she could continuously repair herself endlessly.

Shen Chengyi sighed; compared to human Evolvers, Mutant Creatures were still more shameless; this was also why humans chose to illuminate the technology tree, because in competing everywhere in evolution, humans were not as talented as Mutant Creatures; surviving in the End of Days relied not only on ability, but also on the brain.

In the Distant, the Team Members of the Elite Squad were watching the battle ahead.

They very much wanted to rush out to help, but constrained by Shen Chengyi's warning when she left, they hesitated on whether to act.

"Listen to the Captain's Arrangement; if we go over, we'll just add chaos."

Someone clearly knew their own limits—didn't know what skill they had? Were they someone who could participate in this kind of Battle? Honestly hiding was good for everyone.

"But the Captain hasn't come out yet; Qiao Zhe looks like she's not taking advantage."

This was also the key to hesitation; at a glance, Shen Chengyi was being beaten down by the Mutant Man-eating Vine, and the vine's vines were truly very good at bluffing, swinging with great might, and Shen Chengyi could not be seen at all.

"We are Ability Users; although the Captain said we don't need to help, but don't forget our purpose for coming out; the Official's Mission is not the Captain's alone; if we don't contribute, what do we do when we go back?"

Don't misunderstand; this person wasn't trying to help, purely worried that the reward upon return wouldn't include their share. Going on missions with a Big Shot like Shen Chengyi had benefits and harms.

The benefit was that safety didn't need to be worried about, because Shen Chengyi could draw aggro; generally, Mutant Creatures' aggro was all on Shen Chengyi, and others were completely unimportant.

The harm was the same; Shen Chengyi was too Talented and Capable, able to complete ninety percent of the tasks in the Mission; thus the reward naturally took a large Portion, while others divided the leftover scraps.

Could it be that Ability Users who came out to take Missions were the kind without ambition? If there really were such people, they would surely shamelessly stay in the Shelter and not go out.

So the thoughts of the person saying these words were very understandable; he wanted to get the reward; even if he couldn't help Shen Chengyi at all, having this action meant he wouldn't fear Shen Chengyi not acknowledging it.

Tsk

"Words sound nice; what can we help with if we go up? Put away your Petty Thoughts; causing trouble and failing the Mission will make going back even harder."

Did they think the Official was some charitable Institution? They could come out certainly because of their own abilities, but more importantly because they were sensible and knew when to advance or retreat; if they caused unpleasantness with Shen Chengyi, needless to say, the Official would definitely stand on Shen Chengyi's side; a whole group of them bundled together couldn't compare to the value Shen Chengyi brought.

"Everyone's thoughts don't need to be hidden; if the Captain can't solve this Mutant Man-eating Vine, us going up would just be delaying time."

So don't think about rewards or anything; only hoping the Mission is completed is the real thing.

People with Petty Thoughts:...

Certain topics couldn't be spoken too openly; the reason was just like right before, tacitly pretending to be crazy and foolish here; besides making people Guard Against them, there wouldn't be any other thoughts.

The Elite Squad's topic came to a pause, because they couldn't have a clear purpose; whatever was proposed, someone would speak out in Opposition; so finally, to avoid mistakes, they would definitely conservatively stay in the Original Place waiting for Shen Chengyi to return.

As for those inside who truly worried about Shen Chengyi, worrying was useless; they couldn't help; they could only pray that Shen Chengyi would still be strong and win this time.

Shen Chengyi ahead was still trapped in the vines woven by the Man-eating Vine, hacking back and forth.

The Long Blade was like a residual shadow; its running Route couldn't be seen at all, but looking at the vines piling up more and more on the Ground, one knew Shen Chengyi was handling it with ease.

It seemed this encirclement method could not restrict Shen Chengyi.

Swish swish swish!

The sound of vines landing was very small; Shen Chengyi seemed buried all over her body; she slowly moved her limbs, then suddenly raised her hand and burst out her ability.

Like a compressed ammunition exploding, the gathered vines blasted outward in All Directions; the huge shockwave not only injured the vines but also destroyed the Ground, blasting a deep pit on the Ground with a diameter of up to tens of meters.

Shen Yao jumped out from inside the deep pit, landing lightly and nimbly before the Mutant Man-eating Vine.

Her body was just a little dirty, with not even a trace of damage on the Protective Suit.

She had long passed the stage of using ability without distinguishing friend from foe; Shen Chengyi now could throw a bolt of lightning at her own feet and it wouldn't matter.

On the contrary, her light and nimble movements obviously stimulated this Mutant Man-eating Vine before her; as a Mutant Creature capable of mental control, it naturally had a certain intelligence; to the Man-eating Vine, Shen Chengyi's nonchalance was naked mockery.

Hmph!

It admitted this little bug was more capable than other little bugs, but so what? No matter how capable, she couldn't escape its methods!

Mist began to appear in the original space; it was a dark green gas; in just a moment it spread throughout the entire territory space of the Mutant Man-eating Vine.

Shen Chengyi still stood in the Original Place without moving; at this moment she also couldn't see the position of the Mutant Man-eating Vine; she could only rely on the movement of the vines to judge direction and dodge the various attacks greeting her.

The good news is that these green mists can be blocked by protective suits; the bad news is that these green mists are corrosive, and their corrosiveness is greater than the liquid inside the mutant man-eating vines, causing some corrosion to the protective suit, and one cannot persist for long within this range of mist.

The worse news is that Shen Chengyi tried to leave the territory of the mutant man-eating vine, only to find that no matter how she walked, she could not get out.

Hmm.

It was not that she truly could not get out, but rather that the mental barrier set by the mutant man-eating vine made people lose their sense of direction, eventually getting lost within the territory of the mutant man-eating vine.

Shen Chengyi had no choice but to wield the long blade in her hand to hack at the vines of these mutant man-eating vines; the appearance of the mental barrier posed no difficulty for her, but considering that the mutant man-eating vine became more dangerous the longer it dragged on, eliminating the hidden danger in advance was more in line with her interests.

As time passed, the green mist grew stronger and stronger, and Shen Chengyi saw slight damage appear on her protective suit; although it had not yet reached the point of destroying the suit, if this continued, the suit would not last long.

Helplessly, Shen Chengyi could only manifest her ability to wrap herself in it, and then she hacked and slashed at the surrounding mist as if entering an uninhabited realm.

This was not that she truly could not see, but rather that she identified the positions of the vines through sound, moving bit by bit toward the location of the hidden man-eating vine's root stem.

Shen Chengyi's movements were careful, and for most of the time she was still dealing with the vines flying about, which led to the not-so-bright mutant man-eating vine not knowing Shen Chengyi's purpose, still thinking that its mist had taken effect.

Until Shen Chengyi was no more than ten or so meters from the mutant man-eating vine, when suddenly erupting lightning ability flew past the root stem of the mutant man-eating vine, and only then did the mutant man-eating vine realize Shen Chengyi was making an open action while secretly doing something else!

Mutant Man-eating Vine:...

Detestable human, detestable little bug!

The mutant man-eating vine became violent; it no longer enjoyed the pleasure of toying with prey, nor did it take the person before it lightly. The ground began to tremble, and vines of a darker color constantly emerged from the ground; they were like the tentacles of the man-eating vine and could also spray out liquid like the green mist.

This might be the trump card of the mutant man-eating vine, generally not used lightly, and even when occasionally used, it was aimed at destroying corpses and erasing traces, because the corrosiveness of these liquids was excessively powerful, and they were corrosive to abilities as well.

Shen Chengyi:...

No wonder this mutant man-eating vine could stay here for so long; it turned out it had a trump card in hand, and ordinary people could do nothing to it.

But now that Shen Chengyi had arrived, no matter how strong the mutant man-eating vine was, it was no match for her.

There were pitted marks on the ability on her body, but it had no effect, because Shen Chengyi could replenish energy to this layer of ability at any time.

Shen Chengyi began to continue using the long blade to cut off these vines emerging from underground, while at the same time she had to spin and jump to avoid the pursuit and attacks of these vines.

The entire area was in chaos, and the ability in Shen Chengyi's hand kept being emitted; because of the cover of the green mist, it could not travel too far, but its lethality was still very strong. The vines touched by the lightning were all cut into several segments, scattered and falling onto the ground.

The mutant man-eating vine discovered Shen Chengyi's troublesomeness and wanted to throw Shen Chengyi out, but now it had become a situation where Shen Chengyi did not want to leave. Since eyes could not see, ears could be used; although the sound of the vines moving was slight, it was not nonexistent, and it was still too difficult to hide from Shen Chengyi.

Mutant Man-eating Vine:...

The violent mutant man-eating vine was not easy to deal with; if it were other members of the elite squad, they would probably have become a pool of black water by now. Fortunately, Shen Chengyi had left them outside in advance; even if they were accidentally enveloped by the green mist, as long as they did not go deep into the ground, their safety could still be guaranteed.

Seizing the time to continue moving forward, Shen Chengyi threw lightning ability toward the front whenever she had the chance, striving to blow open the root stem of the man-eating vine.

The root stem was wrapped inside numerous corpses. Shen Chengyi did not have the thought of respecting the dead; even if her lightning caused these people's bones to vanish without a trace, Shen Chengyi still acted decisively, wishing to blow them all into clean nothingness.

The closer one got to the root stem of the man-eating vine, the more intense the other side's resistance became. Whether person or creature, all had the thought of clinging to life and fearing death.

Shen Chengyi no longer held back, using the long blade in her hand to channel her ability into it, and then she ruthlessly plunged it into the pile of corpses not far away with a blank expression.

The members of the elite squad were trapped in the suddenly appearing green mist. Their mindset went from panic at the beginning to calm now, mainly because the effect of this green mist was limited. Although the protective suits on their bodies could not withstand it for too long, they had brought more than one set. Besides, they were only being shielded by the mist and not attacked by other creatures, so their safety could still be guaranteed.

Someone began to have petty thoughts again. Shen Chengyi had not returned, and they were once again shielded by the mist around them. Their safety at this moment did not mean they would always be safe. Whether to pick up weapons and grope forward, wait in place, or retreat and leave—all thoughts ended with a loud roar from ahead and a strong light in the midair. It seemed they were safe.
