Chapter 233: Chapter 230: Someone Is Immune to This Little Grass?

"The monster’s tongue is poisonous!" Chen Xing turned around at the sound, just in time to see the Adhesion Monster lashing out with its tongue.

Hearing it was poisonous, the Superpower Users scrambled back.

But it was too late.

Two unlucky Superpower Users were struck by the tongue on the arm and thigh.

It burned a hole through their clothes, and the skin beneath instantly blackened. The afflicted areas began to burn with excruciating pain.

Chen Xing pulled a rope from her small backpack, tossed it forward, and dragged the Superpower User with the injured thigh back to safety.

A Superpower User on the opposite side copied her, pulling their injured comrade back.

Then, two Superpower Users stepped forward, and a transparent, wall-like barrier instantly appeared, separating them from the monsters.

Chen Xing took out her spring water again and poured it on the injured Superpower User’s thigh.

The pained expression on the Superpower User’s face immediately eased, and the wound stopped deteriorating.

The one on the other side with the injured arm was in a much worse state, the pain so intense they looked like they wanted to hack their own arm off.

Meanwhile, the Adhesion Monsters trapped between the barriers were piling up, nearly forming a small hill.

The two Superpower Users were struggling to hold back the tide of monsters.

Seeing that the injured Superpower User’s face was turning dark, Chen Xing told the one maintaining the barrier to drop the transparent wall on her side.

She instantly dashed over the monsters’ heads. As she reached the other side, she coordinated with the other Superpower User to momentarily drop their barrier, allowing her to reach the injured man’s side.

Shortly after she sprinkled the spring water, the color miraculously returned to his arm, and the pain lessened considerably.

By now, the two Superpower Users holding back the monsters had expended too much energy and were on the verge of being overwhelmed.

Song Yiguo’s handsome brows knitted together. He said to Vice General Du, "Bring out the Little Grass we got from Ice River Island!"

It was their only gamble.

They hadn’t had a chance to study the Little Poison Grass since bringing it back.

For one, the safe zone had been in turmoil lately, leaving no time for research.

For another, the thing was incredibly toxic. The moment it was removed from its glass case, everyone nearby would be paralyzed—even he hadn’t been immune.

Now, their only option was to bet on it being poisonous to the mutated monsters as well.

Holding the glass case, Vice General Du stepped through a gap in the barrier. The moment he was out, he lifted the cover.

He collapsed instantly. The crawling monsters merely gaped for a moment before stopping their assault, one after another.

Chen Xing: "..." ’My heart goes out to Vice General Du for a few seconds.’

’Actually, I was just about to use Little Grass on these Adhesion Monsters myself.’

The monsters collapsed, but no one dared to take down the barrier.

Everyone had already experienced just how potent the poison was.

Chen Xing walked over and patted the Superpower User maintaining the barrier. "Let me through!"

"But the Little Poison Grass..."

"It’s fine. It has no effect on me!" Chen Xing urged him to open it quickly.

’If we don’t finish off these monsters quickly, what happens when they get back up? Vice General Du’s sacrifice will have been for nothing.’

Seeing Song Yiguo give a nod of approval, the Superpower User created an opening in the barrier just long enough for her to pass through before sealing it again with maximum speed.

Chen Xing walked over, picked up Little Grass, and grabbed the glass cover with her other hand before heading deeper into the tunnel.

She could hear movement up ahead. More monsters were probably on their way.

Everyone was left speechless.

Only after Chen Xing had vanished from sight did Song Yiguo give the order: "Kill the monsters!"

’Someone immune to Little Grass?’

’Or does one become immune by being powerful enough?’

Once the monsters were dealt with, Chen Xing returned, carrying the Little Poison Grass safely sealed back in its glass case.

After leaving a group behind to guard the entrance, Song Yiguo led the rest to find another way out.

When they emerged from the subway station, the thick smoke had yet to fully dissipate, and the sky was a murky black.

Song Yiguo’s mood was as dark as the sky above.

A few hours ago, Chief Li Ruixiao had taken his daughter, Li Sirong, and his son, Li Siqi, to attend the birthday celebration of the southern magnate, Li Chenlian.

’But Mr. Li’s birthday isn’t until the day after tomorrow, is it?’

Song Yiguo had also been invited.

For the safe zone to explode just as Li Ruixiao’s family of three so conveniently left... something was clearly amiss.

He refused to believe the explosion had nothing to do with Li Ruixiao.

Just as everyone was fanning out to check for more bombs, a great wind suddenly began to blow.

The wind was so strong it nearly lifted people off their feet.

Everyone had to link hands and search for shelter.

’This wind isn’t normal!’

Chen Xing sensed something.

’Damn it!’

She yanked her hand free from the person next to her and instantly took off, running against the gale toward the RV.

The wind was so powerful she felt like she could be swept into the air at any moment.

About a minute later, the wind speed grew to an astonishing level, flinging every object in the vicinity high into the air.

Naturally, people were no exception.

Chen Xing was also lifted high into the air. Then, just as suddenly as it had appeared, the gale vanished, and everything fell silent.

She plummeted to the ground, but after a quick roll, she found she wasn’t injured.

Ignoring the state of Song Yiguo and the others, she scrambled to her feet and ran for the RV.

The RV was on its side, several of its windows shattered.

Sister Ping was climbing out of a shattered window, her face a mask of bewilderment.

Li Feibai’s sports car hadn’t sustained much damage, just some surface scratches. The driver, however, was in a sorry state.

After being tossed and dropped, he had luckily landed on the ground. Aside from being unable to get up for a while, his life wasn’t in danger.

The only vehicle left unscathed was the trailer.

But inside, there were only three people.

"Where is everyone?" Only 00003 was missing.

stepped out and pointed to a pool of blood inside the trailer. "They turned into a puddle of blood!" Their tone was almost matter-of-fact, yet it carried an indescribable terror.

Chen Xing immediately scanned her surroundings and saw a person lying on the ground on the far side of the RV.

They appeared to be dead, completely motionless.

"That guy came running from the blast zone. As soon as he saw us, he used his superpower!" Li Feibai pointed to the body, then back at the RV. "Then your friend there panicked, and a moment later the crazy wind started, and... well, this happened!"

His head was still spinning.

’What just happened?’

’The wind was even more terrifying than the explosion!’

Da Bai and Hong Hui were filled with guilt.

Their mission was to protect those two, and they had failed.

Someone had died right under their noses, just like that.

"Sister Xing... I’m sorry!" Da Bai’s voice was heavy with remorse.

Just then, the finger of the person lying on the ground twitched. A jet of flame shot toward Chen Xing.

The flame seemed small, but it was incredibly destructive, leaving a scorched black path in its wake.

It happened so fast that Chen Xing didn’t notice the flame until it was right upon her.

She was just about to dodge.

But unexpectedly, the flame seemed to come under some new control. It instantly changed direction and shot toward 00002.

In an instant, 00002’s body was engulfed, becoming a pillar of fire.

Chen Xing was speechless. ’00002 deliberately absorbed the flame that was meant for me, pulling it onto themself.’

"Don’t use your body’s ability..." Her voice was filled with helplessness.

’But it’s too late, isn’t it?’

Within the flames, 00002’s face was illuminated. They gave Chen Xing a sad look and shook their head.
