Lord God, do you want a wife?

Chapter 172: A Guide to Flower Growing in the End Times (42)

Shao Lianqing ran and crawled, not daring to stop for a moment.

She knew that the root system of this mutant plant must be very developed.

If she didn't run far away, she would most likely be caught and end up like those teammates, with not even a complete body left.

Her body was shaking, she was breathing heavily, blood and sweat mixed together on her face, and the burning pain in her back reminded her of the horrific experience she had just had.

An unknown amount of time had passed until the surrounding high-rise buildings turned into rows of factory buildings, and only then did Shao Lianqing stop.

The surrounding buildings were dilapidated and there was deathly silence all around, with only the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the empty factory buildings.

There were no brown vines to be seen around. Shao Lianqing leaned against the wall and slowly sat down, panting.

This place was very secluded, so she confidently tore off the strips of cloth from her clothes and bandaged her wounds.

She had originally thought that since she was the only one in the entire team who returned to the base safely, Fan Guanghui would definitely be suspicious.

This wound also gave her an excuse.

After fighting desperately, she was severely injured by the vines. When she woke up, she was the only one alive.

Shao Lianqing quickly thought of the most advantageous excuse in her mind. Although it was a pity that she didn't get the crystal core, at least she saved her life.

It’s just… Jiang Lu.

Shao Lianqing shook her head and cursed herself for being soft-hearted. Jiang Lu saved her only because he was a third-level psychic and the person in the team most likely to kill the mutant plants.

She leaned against the wall. When her tense nerves relaxed, her consciousness became blurred, and she was also losing blood.

At first she just felt a little sleepy, and she knew in her head that this place was not safe, but extreme fatigue gradually overwhelmed her consciousness.

Finally she fell into a deep sleep...

Shao Lianqing was in a daze and didn't know how long she had slept.

She only felt a dazzling sunlight shining on her body, and when she realized that she had fallen asleep in a remote factory building, she felt a sense of fear in her heart.

Then she felt something was wrong with her body.

Her supernatural power has actually reached level four!

She was ecstatic, thinking that she was indeed the chosen one. Even if she didn't absorb the crystal core of the fourth-level mutant plant, her water-based ability would be able to reach the fourth level so quickly!

It really worked for God to let her be reborn.

She shook off the dew and dust on her clothes and felt the wound on her back, which seemed to have scabbed over and was no longer bleeding. She walked towards the base with joy in her heart.

Her supernatural power has reached level four. In the face of absolute strength, she believes that Fan Guanghui knows how to choose.

She even thought that it would be great if Fan Guanghui died under the vines of the fourth-level mutant plant.

Then the sharp blade base can be held in your hands.

She was in a state of extreme excitement along the way. She saw that the surrounding buildings had been beaten into ruins by the vines, but she didn't see the shadow of the vines.

I thought that they had probably attacked once and then retreated.

She originally thought that the third-level supernatural power could compete with it, but she didn't expect that all her teammates were useless and held her back.

Now that she is at level four, she is not afraid at all even if the vines come back.

When they were almost at the base, Shao Lianqing saw corpses and blood all over the ground. These were the traces left by the mutated plants.

There was no one guarding the city gate. A large section of the city wall had collapsed, and many psychics were repairing it. Everyone was very busy, and no one noticed that she had returned.

Perhaps because they knew that the base had been through a great war, there wasn't a long line of people lining up to join the Blade Base like when she had just arrived at the base.

She straightened her clothes and tried to look less disheveled.

"Shao Lianqing!" Finally someone recognized her. Just as a smug smile appeared on her face, she saw the expression on that person's face changed from surprise to anger.

He strode towards Shao Lianqing, and she could see clearly that this man was the guard who had looked at him with admiration before, and his name seemed to be Zheng Xingyu.

At this moment, there was no light in his eyes as before. He loudly questioned: "Shao Lianqing! How dare you come back! You scum!"

Shao Lianqing's smile froze on her face, and she obviously didn't understand where Zheng Xingyu's malice towards her came from.

A trace of uneasiness surged in her heart, but she quickly adjusted her mood and looked at Zheng Xingyu coldly: "What are you talking about? I fought for the base and almost died at the hands of mutant plants!"

Zhang Xingyu snorted coldly: "You fought for the base? You basically ran away!"

Shao Lianqing's mind suddenly went blank.

Why would he know?

Could it be that any of those people came back alive?

But aren't those rubbish all first or second level mutants? How could they possibly escape from the fourth level mutant plants...

Shao Lianqing's heart sank, and she soon realized that things might not be as smooth as she had imagined.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he saw more and more people gathering around him, with obvious anger and disdain in their eyes.

Looking at her is like looking at a piece of garbage.

"I know you are very angry now. Those who died may have been your comrades-in-arms and friends, but I have indeed tried my best. You also know that it is a level 4 mutant plant. It is so powerful..." Shao Lianqing tried to explain, however, her words did not calm the anger of the crowd, but instead aroused even greater waves.

"Are you saying that you did your best by leaving your teammates behind?"

"People like this deserve to die outside. You are not welcome at the Blade Base!"

"She is still cursing others to death. I think she is the one who deserves to die the most!"

Shao Lianqing's face turned pale, and she cursed these idiots in her heart. It's just a few people who died. Who cares about them? They have to be good people and stand up to speak for them. It's really pretentious.

I thought that maybe one or two survivors had come back alive, which was why they were so angry. My brain was working fast and I had made up an excuse in just a few seconds.

"Everyone, be quiet. I swear I didn't run away at that time. I just wanted to lure away the mutant plants and let them escape. That's why I did that. The situation was critical at the time. They might have misunderstood me..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"She said she wanted to lure away the mutant plants. Does she want us to think of her as a hero?"

"Too selfish. Such a person actually wants to be a senior leader of the base. I'm going to find Minister Fan!"

"Me too! Minister Fan must not allow this kind of scum to stay in the base any longer!"

There were more and more people around, more and more people protesting, and the noise was very loud, but Shao Lianqing still heard the most crucial information from everyone's words.
