"If I’m not superfluous, then what am I?"
Qu Shiheng looked at Hua Mi with a disdainful gaze.
After the initial stockpiling period, the resources of Xiang City Base had generally reached a supply-demand balance.
There was even a surplus.
So, the appeal of whatever resources Hua Mi still had in her possession was insignificant to the survivors.
Plus, it had been a long ti since she had gone out to slay monsters. In the eyes of the survivors, she seed to have gradually beco Gong Yi’s underling, a role like being the mother of two children, or the managent commander of Xiang City Base.
But such roles were replaceable. It wasn’t that only Hua Mi could fulfill them.
"Keeping you around isn’t much use either. After you die, I can take care of Hua Xiuning for you. Anyway, your daughter is an idiot; she doesn’t understand anything at all. With or without you as a mother, I bet she wouldn’t feel the difference, a fool with no sense of the outside world, haha."
Qu Shiheng spoke with great pleasure, and as he did, Hua Mi, with a cold face, stepped forward quickly and went on the offensive, "Looking for death!"
Her ex-boyfriend, leading a few n with the highest superpower levels in their team, had Hua Mi completely surrounded.
Suddenly, Hua Mi stood still, spun around, and pulled out a long knife, slashing at a burly man who blocked her path.
The man narrowly dodged Hua Mi’s untechnical slash, and there was a burst of laughter from the crowd. This was the extent of Hua Mi’s strength; despite the effort she put into that slash, she hadn’t inflicted the slightest injury on them, which showed just how consistently she lacked progress in her combat abilities.
"Sorry." Hua Mi continued wielding her long knife, "Didn’t perform well there, let’s go again."
A few n by her side charged at her, each strong enough to topple a building, all of them high-level superpower users.
Hua Mi narrowly dodged an attack from a power-type superpower user. The spot where she had been standing cratered deeply from the foe’s strike.
"I would still advise you to obediently comply and let us kill you. That way, you’ll suffer less pain in death. Your son just died, how crushed must your heart be? As a mother, when your child dies due to your lack of care, you should follow your son to hell."
Qu Shiheng spoke from a distance, aiming to unsettle Hua Mi’s composure.
Indeed, Hua Mi was provoked. Furious, she swung her knife and knocked a power-type superpower user to the ground,
"Who told you my son was in trouble? My son is perfectly fine; why are you cursing him?"
Qu Shiheng’s expression changed, "Your information is confused. Your son has already been taken by Zhang Chuchu’s people into the Mutated Forest and died there, along with Qin Zhen’s child. Are you suffering from amnesia, not rembering this incident?"
The current Hua Mi appeared weak, in both strength and stature, nowhere near the few n who surrounded her. However, she was incredibly agile.
Those power-type superpower users clumsily trying to reach Hua Mi were finding it difficult. What was originally thought to be a sure victory was easily being dismantled by Hua Mi; she expertly took down half of the n without any visible effort,
"No need to ss with my ntality, Qu Shiheng, your little tricks are too weak."
Qu Shiheng clenched his teeth and raised his hand to launch an attack at Hua Mi. He couldn’t wait any longer; if Gong Yi were alerted, Hua Mi would be even harder to kill.
"Qu Shiheng, you’ve actually made so progress, huh."
Hua Mi took two steps back, eyeing the large fireball Qu Shiheng had hurled in front of her, and dodged to the side.
Qu Shiheng’s expression faltered, surprised that Hua Mi had recognized him, "How did you recognize ?"
Flicking off the sparks from her clothing, Hua Mi said, "Isn’t it obvious? You’re so ugly and your gaze is so fierce, I’d recognize you even if you turned to ash."
While she spoke, an ex-boyfriend approached from behind Hua Mi, intending to ambush her.
Hua Mi’s reflexes were as if she had eyes on the back of her head. She was about to strike her ex-boyfriend with a reverse blow when, out of nowhere, a vine appeared like a suddenly erging serpent, binding her ex-boyfriend tightly.
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone, including Hua Mi herself.
She looked in surprise toward the direction where Gong Yi and Hua Xiuning were sleeping. If there had been mutant plants around, Gong Yi would have warned her beforehand; however, Gong Yi had said nothing. So, where had this thick Mutated Tree Vine co from?
Her ex-boyfriend scread miserably as he was wrapped in the sturdy Mutated Tree Vine, his body feeling as if it were being pierced by needles. In monts, his flesh and blood were drained, and he withered rapidly until only his skin remained.
Hua Mi took two steps back as Qu Shiheng witnessed the terror of Mutant Plants for the first ti; a high-level superpower user had been killed almost effortlessly in just a short span of ti.
Behind Hua Mi, several other strength-type superpower users from Qu Shiheng’s team were also ensnared by the suddenly appearing mutant plants around their waists.
By the ti Hua Mi looked back, those people had beco mummified corpses.
This place was no longer safe, so Hua Mi imdiately found an opening and moved toward the area where Hua Xiuning and Gong Yi were.
Just then, Qu Shiheng also spotted the gap and set up a huge Fire Wall on Hua Mi’s escape route to prevent her from leaving through that gap.
Qu Shiheng was the first to flee the strange area infested with Mutated Tree Vines.
Upon entering the gathering place, he began gathering the high-level superpower users in his team, "Forget the dead weight, let’s get out of here first."
Gong Yi, carrying Hua Xiuning, erged from the house to find the survivor gathering place in complete chaos. The cries of won and children rose and fell in a cacophony.
People were running in all directions, and Gong Yi, with Hua Xiuning in tow, rushed hurriedly to where Hua Mi was located. Using his spiritual power ability, he had seen that his wife was in danger.
Those surrounded by the Mutated Tree Vines were long dead, their bodies reduced to just clothing.
Even Gong Yi himself found it inexplicable; this survivor gathering place had shown no signs of mutant plant activity, aside from the man-made tragedies.
Where had these mutant plants co from?
He didn’t have ti to think further. The most urgent task was to rescue his wife.
The mutant plants and the superpower users had inherently different levels. That is to say, no matter how high the level of a superpower user, if they ca into contact with mutant plants, their flesh and blood would be rapidly drained.
Such creatures were truly terrifying.
However, when he set Hua Xiuning down and ran toward the area of Mutated Tree Vines, Hua Mi had already burst out of the flas, unscathed, standing before Gong Yi.
"What happened, what’s going on? How did you co out on your own?"
