Chapter 124 - : Mutant Plant

Gu Jincheng shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but its strength is very powerful. I can’t find its true hiding place.”

This made Su Shanshan slightly speechless. One had to know that Gu Jincheng’s mental power had already reached level-five. Anything that he could not detect was either level-five like him or higher.

Level-five things were scary enough. Although Su Shanshan was a level-six superpowered person now, superpowered people were ranked lower than zombies. In other words, level-six superpowered people were on par with level-five zombies.

“You can’t even detect it with your level-five mental power. Could that thing be level-six?” Su Shanshan guessed.

Gu Jincheng shook his head. Su Shanshan thought that he was going to say that he did not know. She did not expect him to say, “My mental power is at level six.”

He had always been a level-six superpowered man, but he had never made it known. So, everyone thought that he was still a level-five superpowered man.

A hint of surprise flashed across Su Shanshan’s eyes. In that case, the thing that launched those wind blades secretly must be at least level-six.

Both of their hearts were heavy because they knew that their current safety was only temporary. Once they left this place or the thing in the dark attacked again, they would be in danger.

“Then find it,” Su Shanshan said.

Gu Jincheng nodded. Their thoughts were the same. Instead of sitting here and waiting for death, it was better to take the initiative to attack.

Since it was decided, Su Shanshan pushed Gu Jincheng away from this place, avoiding the attacks of the wind blades along the way as she quickly rushed to the stairs on the second floor to the third floor. Standing on the stairs, they were at least out of the attack range of the wind blades. Before they could heave a sigh of relief, a thick and long tree root attacked them. Su Shanshan instinctively swung the Tang sword in her hand and cut it off. The broken root let out a wail and quickly retracted.

Half of the tree root was twisting itself on the ground. The sap that flowed out of it was crimson like blood and had a disgusting smell.

Su Shanshan fiddled with the root on the ground with her Tang sword. A look of understanding flashed across her eyes. “So it’s a mutant plant with a mind of its own. That makes sense. It seems that this mutant plant has occupied this mall. It has also awakened its wind power, which is why those zombies are trying their best to escape.”

Gu Jincheng saw the tree root’s eyes flash. He reached out to ask for a bag from Su Shanshan and placed the twisting tree root in the sealed bag. Then he handed it to Su Shanshan. Su Shanshan took a corner of the bag with a look of disdain and put it in her space.She could feel the stickiness of the tree root through the bag. Su Shanshan rubbed her fingers and her expression became grave. She said, “This feeling is very similar to a Piranha Flower!”

However, she was not sure. Although she had seen the Piranha Flower once in her previous life, she was too weak at that time and did not dare to approach it. She could only watch from afar. The only thing that left a deep impression on her was that after the Piranha Flower was defeated by superpowered humans, the roots of the Piranha Flower suddenly exploded and fell on her. She could not avoid it at that time. She could not forget the stickiness and foul smell of the roots.

Gu Jincheng looked at her curiously.

Su Shanshan took out the bag with the tree root from her space. This time, there was only seriousness on her face, and not the slightest hint of disdain. She opened the bag and the tree root that was still twisting inside almost jumped out and hit her face. She quickly pinched the tree root through the bag. After carefully observing, her expression changed drastically. “This is the root of the Piranha Flower. Let’s run!”

Piranha Flowers were a headache to deal with for eight years during the apocalypse. They were even more threatening to humans than zombies at one time because they were immortal. Even if they were crushed, they could germinate and reproduce.

The Piranha Flower had a mouth full of sharp teeth. With one bite, anything hard would be chewed up. However, why would a Piranha Flower appear in this place? Shouldn’t the Piranha Flower live in the wilderness, in the mountains, in a place without humans?
