After tirelessly serving the five men in the car, the two women naturally knew that they wanted to kill the four people outside the car and take their belongings.
When they heard the gunshot, they looked out the window but only saw a fiery orange glow. Afterward, they couldn’t find any trace of the five people they were traveling with!
Where were they? Had they been killed by the others? Where were the bodies? And what was that orange light just now? Could it be fire-based abilities? But… they had never seen fire abilities with that color before! Even if it was an ability involving fire, there would still be bodies left behind. If they managed to avoid the fire, they would only get scorched, nothing too serious!
Nothing is scarier than the unknown. Their companions were gone, disappeared by the unknown methods of the others. And one of the men was clearly injured by a gunshot. If he didn’t survive, the remaining man might take it out on them, even kill them! Even though the two of them were coerced by those men, it wouldn’t make a difference.
The more they thought about it, the more scared they became. The two women originally wanted to escape in the car, but the group of people always carried the car keys with them when resting at night, fearing someone might steal the vehicle. Therefore, they had to sneak out of the car in the darkness. Their fear of the unknown abilities made them overlook the threat of mutant animals and plants.
But that’s understandable. Ever since they encountered those people, although they had to cook and warm beds for the five men every day, in return, the five men protected them well. They didn’t have to risk their lives going out on adventures, yet they could eat food and ensure their safety. Besides, the curtains of the RV were usually drawn, so they rarely saw the fighting outside.
When the screams came, Xu Song had just finished treating Yue Zheng’s wound and was about to ask, “Is it okay now? Then let Xiao Shu…”
Hearing the screams not far away, the two of them immediately changed their expressions. Xu Song quickly stood up and walked in that direction.
The two women were entangled in vines, and the two mischievous boys were covering their mouths, smirking.
Looking at the way the vines bound the women, Xu Song felt a sense of familiarity. Wasn’t this the method Mo Tiancheng used when tying up prey every time? “What are you guys doing…”
Upon hearing voices, the two women’s fear of the mutant creatures overcame their fear of powerful ability users. “Help us, save us!”
Amidst the screams of the two women, Mo Tiancheng rubbed his head with a smirk. “Hehe… they were acting so sneakily.”
“Yeah, yeah! Chengcheng was afraid they would steal things!” Mo Tianyou nodded seriously.
The two of them were awakened by the screams of the two women in the middle of their sleep. They weren’t allowed to interfere with Yue Zheng and the others during the battle just now, and now that Yue Zheng was injured, these two women were trying to escape secretly. If only they had known they would scream so loudly when they were caught, they would have let the vines suck their blood dry!
As someone who often used vines to capture animals, Mo Tiancheng momentarily forgot the most terrifying attack method of those plants. It was because of Yue Zheng and Xu Song’s request not to let the vines completely drain the prey’s blood, saying it would make it difficult to handle the remains.
Xu Song glanced at the two women who were tied up like rice dumplings in the darkness and sighed. “Let’s tie them up first and cover their eyes.”

After confirming that the wound had completely healed, Xu Song finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned his head on Yue Zheng’s shoulder.
Yue Zheng lifted his hand and hugged Xu Song from behind, patting his back reassuringly. “The wound has healed, no need to worry.”
“But we still need to be careful. What if it had hit somewhere else?” Xu Song couldn’t help but feel terrified at the thought. If the gunshot had hit Yue Zheng’s head or heart, even with the incredible healing ability, it wouldn’t have been able to save his life…
Yue Zheng continued to pat Xu Song’s back, the warmth of his palm spreading through his body. “I’ll be more careful in the future. I won’t let this happen again.”
Yes, he had been too complacent, or rather, he hadn’t encountered conflict with others for a long time, causing his vigilance to decrease significantly.
Humans are different from mutant animals and plants; they have various ways of killing without leaving a trace, shooting from a distance, or stabbing in the back. Sometimes, these methods can be even more terrifying and deadly than mutated creatures.
Xu Song knew that today’s events were not Yue Zheng’s fault. Even he didn’t expect those people to have guns. Who could have predicted that they would encounter a group of people on the road who would try to rob them at gunpoint?
Taking a deep breath, Xu Song suddenly realized another issue. “Did… I kill them?”
It’s not surprising that he only remembered this now. His ability was so destructive, and its effect of obliterating bodies was too pronounced. With just a raise of his hand, the person turned into ashes, and as he reacted, a gentle breeze blew, dispersing even the ashes.
Without seeing the bodies, it was difficult to feel a sense of “killing someone” firsthand. Instead, it felt somewhat unreal and unexpected.
Yue Zheng gently cupped Xu Song’s face and lifted it, lowering his head to kiss his lips. After a long moment, when Xu Song was completely immersed in the kiss, Yue Zheng lifted his head again. “You saved my life.”
A warm current surged through Xu Song’s heart as he silently nodded and pressed his head against Yue Zheng’s chest.
The two little guys yawned and leaned against each other, still covered in a blanket. Looking at the two embracing figures, their heads also leaned together. “Should we go to sleep?”
“Aren’t they going to make us beds?”
“Hmph, they don’t have time to pay attention to us. These adults are all the same. Once they get married, their children get in the way first! They really make people worry!”
“Shh, shh.” The little tree also sensed that the atmosphere over there wasn’t suitable for its presence, so it snuggled up to the two little guys.
That night, the mental exhaustion outweighed the physical fatigue. Although Xu Song tried not to think about the fact that he incinerated five people, it still subconsciously affected him. After all, it was the first time he had personally killed someone. So, he slept heavily and deeply that night.
It wasn’t until the next morning that he woke up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Yue Zheng, who was still holding him. They both opened their eyes simultaneously.
“Did we forget something?”
Yue Zheng frowned, equally puzzled.
The two little guys were still sleeping, leaning against each other. The blanket twisted around them, bundling the two small figures together, sleeping in an odd formation at the foot of the small tree.
The RV by the roadside remained in the same position as last night. After they got up and walked towards the RV, they unexpectedly found two backpacks dropped near the back door of the vehicle.
Following the backpacks to the other side of the vehicle, the two of them silently saw the women lying in a pile of withered vines.
The mutated plants created through psychic abilities would wither and die if not manipulated. With Mo Tiancheng’s Level 2 psychic ability, the estimated duration for their survival was about six hours.
“They… died?” Xu Song looked at the two lifeless bodies on the ground, puzzled.
Yue Zheng nodded. “Suffocated.”
Indeed, their faces were pale, eyes rolled back, and they had lost control of their bodily functions… Their appearance in death was truly frightening, far worse than the five people who were burned yesterday.
“But… how did they suffocate?” Xu Song was extremely puzzled. They had simply tied them up, so why would they end up suffocating?
Yue Zheng smirked and glanced back at the still soundly sleeping little ones. “Let’s burn them. We don’t want the kids to be scared when they wake up.”
Although he doubted whether those two little troublemakers would really be frightened because of these two women’s deaths, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that they were somehow involved.
It was his own fault too. After getting injured yesterday, his body instinctively reduced his heightened sense of hearing, so he didn’t hear the struggling sounds from the two women. Combined with the excessive exhaustion from the injury and loss of blood, he fell asleep immediately. Hence, he had no idea when these two women died.
“Oh, right, we should burn them.” Xu Song had no aversion to the task of cremating the bodies. After a night of rest and Yue Zheng’s subconscious suggestions, he had already tried his best to overlook what happened last night. With a wave of his hand, orange flames erupted, instantly reducing the two bodies and the vines on the ground to ashes.
“I wonder if the amount of remains will decrease each time the ability is upgraded in the future.” He remembered that before the flames were upgraded, burning larger objects would leave behind some charcoal.
“Perhaps. By then, this ability might truly be capable of erasing all traces.” Yue Zheng smiled and made sure that only a small pile of ashes remained from the two bodies, without anything else left. Then, he and Xu Song walked together towards the RV.
“That wouldn’t be bad. Maybe in the future, I can find a job at a crematorium.” Xu Song shrugged.
“Assuming there will be bodies to cremate.” After all, working at a crematorium used to be a high-paying job, and not everyone had the opportunity to enter.
The two little ones had already woken up and were struggling with the tangled blanket. It would have been easy for one child to escape from it, but with two wriggling little ones and a small tree extending at least a dozen roots to join the chaos, the tightly wrapped blanket became even messier, with the roots intertwined… Now even the tree couldn’t undo the knots it had created.
“Help! Save us!”
“Help…”
Seeing their pitiful state and hearing their cries, both Yue Zheng and Xu Song burst into laughter simultaneously. This was truly… morning entertainment.
Xu Song rolled up his sleeves and approached to untangle the blanket, giving each of the squirming little ones a gentle tap on their buttocks. “Stay still, don’t move!” After untangling for a while, he was sweating profusely and glared at the small tree nearby. “You! Don’t move either! You’ve tangled it up! If you move again, I’ll burn you directly.”
The small tree shivered from bottom to top, obediently staying still without daring to move.
Yue Zheng decided not to add to the chaos and turned to pick up the packages that the two women had tried to take with them last night. Biscuits, bottled water, cola, underwear… bras
… sanitary pads… sexy lingerie…
Speechless, he stuffed everything back into the bags. Yue Zheng considered whether he should just have Xu Song burn these two bags as well. Well, he better not. At least there were still some useful things in them.
Wow. So no one’s left but what a way to go…😳 Yes, some things are more useful to the guys than others—lmao! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🌳🦗🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Useful like? 😏
Yeah… not too happy with how they dealt with this
