Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

If the end of the world had not yet come, and if he did not have to rush to Haijin City to find Gong Youqing's family, Yu Xiaowei would really plan to stay here for a few days to enjoy himself.

"This is really nice. There is also a space for people to light a fire. We will light a bonfire here and cook some food." Before getting off the car, Yu Xiaowei could see the open space not far away. He was full of enthusiasm for cooking because that was the key to getting points!

"It's really great. The cabin is even more charming based on this outside world." Zhang Shengyi nodded in agreement. After marking out the parking lot, he parked the car at the designated location.

However, when Yu Xiaowei was about to get off the car, the large mutant lobster following behind him used its claws to hold the car door to stop him from moving.

"Move aside, Red Fur, don't block the road." Yu Xiaowei frowned, closed the window and asked the giant mutant lobster. The name "Red Fur" was given by Xiaobao, so she decided to continue using it. Because there was a baby sitting on the other side of the car, she would need to step over if necessary, so she signaled the lobster to move aside.

However, the giant mutant lobster did not move at all, insisting on holding the car door and the windows of the cockpit to prevent anyone from leaving.

Shang Yun seemed confused and was about to try to unlock the car door when he saw the large mutant shrimp quickly swinging the two huge claws on its arms.

After observing for a while, Yu Xiaowei was surprised by the lobster's puzzled movements, and stopped pushing it away, and turned to talk to the lobster. "What happened?"

Unfortunately, although the mutant shrimp was able to understand and execute some of Yu Xiaowei's simple instructions, it was unable to express its own wishes or thoughts through language - that is, when it insisted on pushing the car door, it actually did not allow any human members to get out of the car.

"Xiaowei, what's wrong with that guy? It seems that he doesn't want us to get off the bus." Shang Yun, who was sitting in the front row, noticed something was wrong and asked Yu Xiaowei. After all, she tamed it.

"It seems so, but I don't understand what it's saying. But since it doesn't allow us to get off the car, maybe there is something we need to explore there." Yu Xiaowei said as she looked around. Her five years in the apocalypse were not in vain. As expected, her eyes focused on a certain spot and stared at it for a long time. Finally, she suddenly realized it and patted the giant mutant shrimp on the head: "What a good boy! I understand now. Let's go to the other side."

After that, Yu Xiaowei shouted to Zhang Sheng, "Master Zhang, let's move forward now until we reach the first target point, but remember to drive slowly so that I can see the situation ahead clearly first."

"I understand." Although Zhang Sheng didn't understand what Yu Xiaowei had found, he could infer from the giant mutant shrimp's previous behavior that it must be hiding something. He saw that Yu Xiaowei had found a clue and would not ask any more questions. Instead, he drove the vehicle forward.

Wu Nan and Liu Peng, who had been waiting in the car because of their inactivity, immediately started their cars and followed the car when they saw it moving forward again. At this moment, a green object like a vine stretched out from the bushes and tightly wrapped around the tires of Wu Nan and Liu Peng's car.

"What happened?" Shocked, Wu Nan stepped on the accelerator, but he felt that the axle seemed to be also entangled in the same thin wire.

Yu Xiaowei quickly lowered the car window and shouted to the back, "Senior Liu Peng, quickly set it on fire!"

After hearing this, Liu Peng reacted quickly and immediately gathered a fireball and threw it at the green "finger-like" thing surrounding the top of the car. When the fireball touched it, the thing immediately shrank quickly, but this did not make it completely retracted.

Seizing the opportunity, Liu Peng immediately fired another fireball. Yu Xiaowei let the giant mutant shrimp return and was responsible for clearing the smaller entangled objects around it.

With the help of the giant mutant shrimp, Liu Peng quickly threw two more fireballs into the thickest green entanglement, which made those creatures feel pain and quickly pulled away. Only some of the smaller entanglements were left. At this time, Wu Nan stepped on the accelerator and finally got out of the predicament.

The giant mutant shrimp responded by galloping forward and the car finally stopped.

When I looked back at the original scene, it seemed as if nothing had happened and everything was calm and peaceful again.

After finally escaping from danger, he found that the place where he had fought before had returned to such a peaceful state, as if nothing had happened. This inevitably led Liu Peng to ask, "What kind of ghosts are these?" This section is titled "Not Fixed" to describe the uniqueness of this situation and the psychological changes of the characters.

"Strange, what happened just now? Why did it suddenly disappear?" After saying that, Liu Peng turned to Yu Xiaowei: "Xiaowei, why don't we go to another place? Is there any wild animal here? Could that be a mutant wild animal?"

In the past few days, Liu Peng had been listening to Yu Xiaowei talking about various mutations. The mutated crayfish and mutated pufferfish he had encountered before made him think that the situation they were facing now might also be a life phenomenon similar to mutation.

"I'm not sure if there are any wild animals here, but that one is obviously not an animal." Yu Xiaowei shook her head. Based on the clues provided by the mutated giant crayfish, she had carefully examined the surroundings. In fact, at that moment, she had already noticed something unusual, but she didn't expect it to be so obvious.

"If it's not an animal, then what is it?" Even after close contact, Liu Peng still couldn't guess its true form. When he noticed the sticky thing winding in front of him, he only saw a bright color. It was indeed in the shape of a tentacle of a creature.

"It's very likely a mutated plant, such as a vine." Yu Xiaowei replied to Liu Peng.

Yu Xiaowei had been warned by the mutant crayfish "Little Red Skin" before, so she carefully observed the surroundings. As a result, she noticed something unusual between the vines - compared to the way the vines on other trees around them grew around the trunks, this vine seemed tighter.

And when looking from above the tree, traces of its attachment are clearly visible, which means that the contraction of the vine is not the result of natural growth, but is compressed later.

According to their experience in the apocalyptic world, although those plants have changed, they are still relatively lacking in essential intelligence. Therefore, it may be difficult to detect them at the beginning, but careful observation will reveal their differences from the environment and then identify them.

However, Yu Xiaowei had not expected that the vines could evolve to such a large form. If she had known this earlier, she would probably have left the problem area first. If she got stuck in it, it would have been very difficult. Fortunately, Liu Peng had the special ability of fire, which was just right for him to deal with this situation.

"Plants can also mutate? Can they become **organisms?" Liu Peng was shocked after hearing Yu Xiaowei's description. This kind of phenomenon is extremely rare, and since everyone was experiencing the doomsday scene for the first time, they were extremely surprised by Yu Xiaowei's description.

It is no wonder that he had such a reaction, because after its transformation, the mutant vine regained the most vivid color of its young growth period, which was completely different from the surrounding vines that had turned gray-brown.

In addition, this mutation caused the vines to secrete mucus, making the originally flexible and new vines covered with a sticky layer, which resulted in Liu Peng being unable to directly identify which type of biological mutation it was when he used his special ability to attack it.

"But we are already quite lucky, because there is only this mutant vine around. All right, pack your bags and prepare for accommodation! Everyone should have a good rest, because we will rush to Haijin City with all our strength tomorrow.

Today, Youwei called Youqing again. However, the quality of the communication was gradually deteriorating, and the call was disconnected after a brief conversation. But this ensured one thing: Youqing and her family were doing well, which made Youwei feel relieved.

Imagining the meeting in the near future makes your face full of anticipation for the novelty and joy that will come tomorrow.

Walking around with the transformed lobster, she noticed that the lobster seemed sluggish and confused. It seemed to only know how to move forward and run all the time, although this was not completely useless - it had a certain alarm function.

After walking around a few times, she found that the results were as expected. Apart from the known mutant vines, no new mutant plants were found.

"Okay, we've finished our inspection. Is the stove assembled?" As she inspected the surroundings, others had already built a new fire pit on one side of the open area and set up the cooking equipment.

It was previously designed for the convenience of tourists, but because it was a little too close to the mutant vines, no one obviously wanted to be eaten as lunch by these creatures while they were on the road.

One solution was to eat fast-prepared foods. The service station convenience store they had visited earlier was also stocked with a lot of daily food supplies.

However, no one wants to miss the dishes carefully prepared by Youwei - that kind of taste lingers in people's mouths for a long time - so in order not to miss such delicious food easily, they would rather spend extra energy to rebuild a stove for her to cook, rather than settle for nothing.

At this point, the inspection work has been completed and the prototype of a simple stove made of bricks has appeared.

"Wow? Where did you find those bricks?" There are trees and other plants all around, so how did these bricks get there?

"Xiao Liu and Lao Wu just went to the kitchen that was prepared for travelers and brought it back." Peng Fei was a superpower of the Flame Element after all. Moreover, the kitchen was a certain distance away from the location of the mutant plant. Even if they were suddenly exposed, they would have enough time to escape. Therefore, they decided to take it directly.

She nodded: "Well, you don't have to worry about stewing the ham, let me do the rest!"
