Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 953: 953: Deception

Chapter 953: Chapter 953: Deception

The twigs were slowly being pulled out, but the people on the ground were still asleep.

“This is no longer just malnutrition, this is simply… inhumane!”

Su Xiangzhe squatted down, looking at a man beside him whose face was shriveled to the point of being almost skeletal. Mao Qiqi said these people were Special Ability Users, which meant they were likely a passing team of Special Ability Users.

“I’ll try to use my wood element ability to help them recover a bit.”

After Su Jin said this, she was about to begin the treatment.

“A lot of people are coming our way.”

Mao Qiqi said.

“Hmph, they’re coming just in time. I’ll go meet them.”

Lin Xiuyuan rolled up his sleeves, ready for a big fight.

“Captain Wei, I’ve already destroyed the parasitic seeds inside them. They’re temporarily safe, but since someone is coming, I might need to deal with the culprit behind this first.”

Su Jin said.

She didn’t know what kind of mutated plant this was, but Xiao Cui had just been itching to eat its plant crystal core. It would be quite enjoyable to destroy those mutated plants right in front of Li Yushan.

“Alright, if you can free them from here, I don’t even know how to thank you all enough.”

Wei Jinghang was somewhat puzzled as to how Su Jin knew his surname was Wei, but the current situation didn’t allow him to dwell on this, and it was also possible that Hu Wenbin had told them.

“You continue, I’ll go outside.”

Lu Hao knew what Su Jin was about to do, and he wasn’t going to let those outside disturb her.

The Xiao Cui that Su Jin had just subdued happily ran out again, and this time, it tightly wrapped itself around the thick tree root, as if it wouldn’t allow itself to be pulled back again.

“Eat them!”

Su Jin instructed.

There wasn’t just one mutated tree with a plant crystal core here; she was going to use her wood element ability and Xiao Cui to destroy them all at once.

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to hear a burst of joyous cheers from Xiao Cui in her mind, and next to her, the roots of the mutated plants visibly began to wither.

…

When Li Yushan saw Hu Wenbin running back alone, he realized something was wrong. The thing he feared the most had happened.

Why did the Heart Talk Team have to meddle with things they shouldn’t?

Rumble~

Sounds came from all around, and everyone saw the earthen walls around the village, entangled with vines, collapsing one after another, and the vines that had burrowed into the walls were quickly turning black and withering.

“Boss! Your mutated tree!”

Hu Wenbin was shocked. Could it be that the mutated tree their boss cultivated wasn’t obeying him?

Li Yushan felt a jolt looking at those withering mutated trees.

Little did they know that he hadn’t actually cultivated those mutated trees; he just knew their habits and characteristics well enough and happened to be a Wood Element Ability User.

Now…

Mao Qiqi furrowed her brows as she watched those people running and suddenly turning a corner. A possibility came to her mind.

Could it be that those people were scared off by Sister Xiao Jin and wanted to run away?!

“Brother Xiuyuan, brother-in-law, those people seem to want to flee.”

Mao Qiqi said.

“What? They’re running?”

Lu Guanhai laughed. These people have a good sense of self-awareness.

“Think you can run? Not on my watch!”

Lin Xiuyuan was about to chase them, but a vine stopped him.

“Chase them on my Man-eating Flower. I’ll have the Man-eating Flower bring them all back.”

Su Jin walked out from the back and said.

She wanted those people to understand what real wood element ability looked like.

So Wei Jinghang watched in astonishment as a giant plant was grown by Su Jin right in front of him. Su Jin’s teammates cheered and jumped onto it, and then that Man-eating Flower started wriggling its body and moved swiftly in one direction!

“So it was all true.”

Wei Jinghang muttered.

A green vine wrapped around his wrist, causing Wei Jinghang to jump in fright, but he heard Su Jin say:

“Captain Wei, let me help you remove the mutant seed inside you.”

“Thank you.”

Wei Jinghang was somewhat overwhelmed, realizing that this SS-level Heart Talk Team was actually a group of warm-hearted people.

Watching a slender, reddish-green branch being pulled out of his wrist, Wei Jinghang was a bit startled. Was this thing growing inside his body?

“If parasitized and not dealt with in time, it can be very troublesome.”

Su Jin destroyed the wriggling plant, and the branch immediately shriveled up.

At this moment, a series of screams could be heard drawing closer from a distance.

“Looks like they’re back.”

Su Jin remarked with a smile.

From afar, Wei Jinghang could see that enormous, mobile mutated plant again, with a group of people tied up beside its branches, and the screams were coming from them.

Li Yushan and others were tied up by the mutated plant, and soon it spread throughout the small village. Those who had looked like dead men surrounded them as well.

Have some people come to punish Li Yushan?

Li Yushan was still struggling on the Man-eating Flower’s branches, trying to use his wood element ability to undo the vines binding him, but it wasn’t working at all.

“You pseudo wood element user, do you really think you can control mutated plants?”

Lin Xiuyuan mocked while sitting on a leaf.

“What do you mean by that? Our boss can control mutated plants; it’s just that you happen to be a bit higher in rank!”

Hu Wenbin shouted at Lin Xiuyuan with anger.

“Is that so? Even you guys were fooled. Don’t you know that those mutated tree roots weren’t even cultivated by your Boss Li?”

Lin Xiuyuan found it extremely amusing. Were these people deceived too?

“What nonsense are you spouting? I personally saw Boss Li plant a demonic seed into someone else’s body.”

A man next to Hu Wenbin also argued.

“Oh, that? Well, your boss can do it, and so can I.”

Lin Xiuyuan laughed. If he had known earlier, he would have had Su Jin conjure some of those seeds to try on these people, let them taste what it felt like.

However, with a thud, over thirty people were thrown down beside Su Jin by the Man-eating Flower.

“Li Yushan! Is this what you call healing? You’ve tormented my teammates into this state!”

Wei Jinghang pointed at the people inside who were still unconscious and questioned.

“Captain Wei! It’s Xiao Guan and the others…”

From the crowd, a few people stepped out, incredulously looking at their teammates lying inside. What on earth happened here?

“You claim these are the mutated plants you cultivated?”

Su Jin took out a handful of red fruits, waving them in front of Li Yushan.

“Since you’ve destroyed them, I admit defeat. Kill me or torture me, it’s up to you.”

Li Yushan refused to lose face in front of everyone, maintaining a bold facade.

“Those are nothing but mutated plants with plant crystal cores, not even your creations, yet you want to use them to control others?”

Su Jin looked down at Li Yushan and the others.

“So what if I did cultivate them? Just because you’re higher ranked, you think you’re better than me!”

Li Yushan shouted angrily, eyes wide open.
