Su Shanshan quickly retreated, but the cave was still collapsing. Her path was tightly blocked, so she could only turn back the way that she came. As she ran, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed. The path that she had painstakingly cleared had been buried in an instant.

As she ran back, the stones above her head continued to fall on her. Su Shanshan was forced to dodge left and right, but there were too many stones. If the entire cave was sealed, she would be suffocated to death.

The situation was critical. Her face grew calmer as her eyes quickly scanned the area for anything she could use. After dodging another rock, a vine caught her attention. Her eyes lit up. Oh right, she thought. She could hide in the spot where she had first woken up.

However, the entrance to the original spot was blocked by stones. By this time, the cave was almost filled with stones. She did not even have a place to step on and could only squat on the stones.

She swung an ice blade. Unlike the previous one, this ice blade had a faint silver light and was extremely sharp. A chill accompanied the ice blade as it struck the stones.

The stones were shattered instantly, but the scattered ashes were blocking the entrance, leaving only a small gap. Su Shanshan jumped over and squeezed through the entrance.

The moment she entered the place, the crack was buried by falling stones. This part of the cave was not affected by the collapse.

Su Shanshan had seen the situation here before and knew that she was stepping on piles of bones. But now, she did not feel anything. In the past few days, she had killed enough zombies to form a small mountain of their corpses. The long period of fighting brought her back to those eight years of the

apocalypse in her previous life.

She pinched her wrist. This action was a habit she had picked up in her previous life. Ever since she was reborn, not only had her body become weaker, but her temperament had also been affected. Without the guardedness and coldness that she had developed during the eight years of the apocalypse,

these days were a blessing in disguise.

She closed her eyes suddenly and struck the ice blade in her hand to the left. The sound of flesh being cut rang out. The sound of something else crawling on the ground became more obvious. Su Shanshan closed her eyes tightly and relied on her ears to constantly dodge the attacks. Vines from all

directions wrapped around her limbs.

In such a dark environment, it was better to close her eyes and rely on her hearing to discern the sounds. Her ears twitched quickly, and the ice blades in her hand hit with precision the spots where the sounds came from. One after another, the vines were lopped off by her, but more vines surged towards

her. These vines had stopped concealing their voices, and the rustling sounds became more distinct.

Su Shanshan had no patience for further entanglement with these mutant plants. Suddenly a layer of ice formed around her, wrapping around her body. She stopped trying to prevent the vines from getting close to her. In an instant, she was covered in vines. The vines kept tightening their grip on her. If

anyone was around, all they would see was a green ball of vine. All the vines in the cave had surrounded her. This green ball was getting bigger.

Because the vines were gone from the walls, some light appeared in the cave. Only then did she see that the veins on these vines were red, and the liquid flowing inside was like blood. It was extremely strange.

Su Shanshan’s eyes suddenly widened as a cold light flashed across. She placed her hand on the innermost vine and shouted coldly, “Break!”

Countless silver needles shot out from the inside of the vines, and all the vines were cut into sections. Light returned to Su Shanshan’s eyes, and she had to shut them to get used to it. She walked to the center of the vines and reached out to fiddle with them. She found the main branch and took out its

crystal core. It was a light green crystal core that was very dazzling under the sun.

Just like that, the mutant vines that had dominated the apocalyptic era and became the biggest enemy of mankind were destroyed by Su Shanshan.

$u Shanshan put away the crystal core. She already had a lot of crystal cores in her space, including some level-three and level-four ones. They were her spoils of war these days. She wondered how the situation was outside. With these crystal cores, she could do many things. The only currency in the

apocalyptic era was crystal cores..
