Chapter 489: The Situation Is Not Good
Back then, every survivor team’s leader tries to uncover the whereabouts of the Wood and Water-type ability users, but no one knows where they are. Not even Tang Jianjun’s senior officers—Zhan Lian, Luo Feifan—know.
Zhang Boxun might know. But he isn’t greedy. He’s a sentimental man. His ambition doesn’t lie in exploiting these abilities.
He probably agrees to take over these burdens from An Ran simply because he doesn’t want Tang Jianjun’s efforts to be in vain.
Now, both An Ran and Zhao Ru finally understand Tang Jianjun: a kind man, no doubt, but if anyone else possesses such a large group of Wood and Water-type ability users, they would be willing to risk their lives to pave the way for these so-called burdens.
Tang Jianjun leads thousands south, sacrificing countless lives as he retreats, finally reaching this residential zone. Along the way, he gathers supplies—but those supplies aren’t what sustain the group. It’s the hidden abilities of the Wood, Water, and Earth-type users among the burdens!
It’s insane.
If Lei Jiang ever finds out the truth, he’ll probably go insane.
For some reason, An Ran suddenly feels a bit smug, but she suppresses it. She looks at Fatty with a neutral expression, as if she isn’t surprised at all.
Fatty, fired up, continues enthusiastically, “I’ve got it all planned, Miss An. We don’t have to hide anymore. Let’s start by improving the soil here in the community. You keep growing outside the walls—we’ll plant inside. Within a day, everyone can get at least one potato. You, with your powerful wood abilities — you’ll grow them faster than us, right?”
An Ran shakes her head and raises a vine toward him. Fatty’s confidence crumbles, and he takes a step back.
An Ran says coldly, “I can grow this. Want to eat it?”
“No, no, no! Every profession has its specialty. Miss An, your plants are so strong—asking you to grow food is a waste. Just focus on your mutant plants!” Fatty breaks into a cold sweat, waving his hands frantically.
An Ran’s expression grows serious. “I’ll go check the front. We’ll talk when I’m back.”
She originally meant to say: Wait until Zhang Boxun returns, and we’ll see how he plans to organize the production using the Wood and Water-type ability users.
But suddenly, hundreds of flower bulbs begin feeding her information about the frontlines.
She sees a massive carnivorous flower — the size of an entire supermarket — curled up in the night like a giant tongue. The fleshy petals are coated in a sticky mucus.
Zhan Lian and Zhang Boxun are slicing through green vines one by one. Ahead, a sea of flames rages. People are screaming, shouting, weeping—it’s utter chaos.
The carnivorous flower is so massive that An Ran can’t see it clearly at first, but her bulb’s roots keep pushing forward. Slowly, the image sharpens. Beneath the flower is a fully intact supermarket.
Yes—the same supermarket Yun Tao rushed into. Still standing, completely undamaged?!
