After hearing the commotion, Han Yingtian, Xiang Xi, and Cheng Cheng quickly left their room.

Once they stepped out of their room, they were surprised to see that Nan Muran and her group were nowhere to be found. Logically, their alertness should have been better.

They went to knock on the doors of Nan Muran’s group, only to find that there was no response from within.

Confused, the three of them exchanged puzzled glances, and then they reacted quickly: “Go to 909, hurry.”

They ran down the fire escape stairs and continued rushing down until they reached the hallway on the ninth floor.

Inside the luxurious room 909, after realizing the intention of the person behind him, Jin Tailing decided to jump out of the window with the large vine and escape.

“Xiaobai, don’t let go of the large vine,” Nan Muran said, exerting all her strength to redirect her restricted spiritual power, taking full control of the entire 909 room, preventing Jin Tailing’s large vine from escaping.

At the same time, she began to use her vitality to lift the restrictions on Xiao Liu, hoping to get his help.

Seeing Xiao Liu suddenly spring out, Jin Tailing’s face changed. A level-seven mutated plant, a level-five peak, along with Nan Muran and Si Ye, meant he had no chance of winning and escaping was even more difficult.

In this situation, he could only choose to leave one behind with the large vine. Without hesitation, he firmly chose to save himself.

The large vine, left behind in the room with no way out, was visibly shocked that it was abandoned by the human it trusted.

Xiaobai: The human abandoned you.

Xiao Liu: That human is a bad person, and you’re still with him.

The large vine remained silent. That human had promised to help it grow strong.

At that moment, Nan Muran suddenly took out a machine gun and began shooting wildly at the large vine.

Taking advantage of the moment when the large vine was in pain, she quickly climbed its body and found the white flower at the very top of the vine, stabbing it without hesitation.

As a plant-based ability user, Nan Muran always knew where to strike a plant’s weak point.

The weak point of the large vine was the white flower at its top.

Once the white flower was attacked, the entire vine rapidly shrank until it became the size of a finger.

At the same time, a dark blue crystal core appeared on the ground out of thin air.

Xiaobai started to wiggle excitedly. It wanted the crystal core to level up. It was currently at a level-five peak, and with this, it could directly break through to level six.

“Here you go,” Nan Muran said softly as she stroked Xiaobai.

Then, Nan Muran crouched down and used her knife to directly attack the small vine on the ground, intending to completely destroy the large vine.

Xiaobai: Can you spare the large vine? It’s already turned into an ordinary vine.

Xiao Liu: No, it killed both you and Ye Ye before.

Xiaobai: Let Nan Muran use her vitality to absorb all of the large vine’s remaining life and juices.

Xiao Liu: Why?

Xiaobai: This way, Nan Muran will never be afraid of her abilities being sealed again.

After hearing Xiao Liu’s words, Nan Muran immediately carried out the plan.

The large vine, now only the size of a finger, was absorbed by her and turned into ash, disappearing without a trace.

Xiao Liu: Xiaobai, weren’t you just pleading for the large vine? Why destroy its remains so quickly?

Xiaobai: I don’t understand.

Xiao Liu: You’re such a fool.

Si Ye watched as Nan Muran absorbed the last of the large vine’s power and said, “Go after Jin Tailing.”

“We can’t. Our big problem is here,” Nan Muran frowned as she sensed Chen Shuhan and over thirty ability users approaching.

While Chen Shuhan had been away from the hotel for the past three days, checking the personnel entering and leaving the Lan City base and adding new members…

Zhou Ling was at Villa No. 2, trying to convince his father to stop any contact between the Chen family and the genetic laboratory.

“Genetic laboratory? What nonsense?” Zhou Gang was skeptical after hearing Zhou Ling’s words, feeling that Nan Muran and her group were very suspicious.

He didn’t believe that the Chen family would do something so insane.

The Chen family had been in government for generations and still had some clarity in their core values. Although there were frequent problems with small matters and Chen Shuhan had been selfish, constantly playing games with him in the base, Zhou Gang still trusted them on major issues.

Zhou Ling hadn’t expected his father to trust the Chen family so much.

Looking at his father, who was so confident, he asked, “If there’s nothing to it, why does Chen Shuhan care so much about my uncle’s family? Is it because he likes Zhou Jing? Is Chen Shuhan such a pervert?”

“Zhou Jing is a medical doctor, and my uncle and aunt are top professors in genetic science,” Zhou Gang said, but then felt a pang of unease in his heart.

“And what about the scientific exchange seminar tomorrow afternoon at three o’clock at the base hotel? What did the Chen family tell you about it?” Zhou Ling continued questioning.

Zhou Gang knew the answer: “Chen Shuhan specifically mentioned that it’s just a regular medical exchange meeting where they want to find some colleagues to research anti-zombie virus medication.”

“You believe that?” Zhou Ling was ashamed for the Chen family’s excuse. Anti-zombie virus? The dead are dead. How could you fight it?

“What nonsense…” Zhou Gang was angered by his son’s lack of belief.

Suddenly, urgent voices came from outside: “Ling Ge, Ling Ge, bad news, big trouble!”

“What’s going on?” Zhou Ling, still focused on the base hotel, was startled.

“Chen Shuhan… He brought the ability users from Villa No. 5 to the base hotel. It seems he’s going to cause trouble for Miss Nan and the others.” The voice was breathless from running too fast.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling immediately dropped any further argument with his father and rushed toward the base hotel.

“A-Ling, come back! A-Ling…” Zhou Gang watched his son run off, frustrated and angry.

Not even understanding the full situation, rushing headlong into danger.

But with the Zhou family’s only heir, he couldn’t just stand by. What a calamity.

Turning to his secretary outside the study, he said, “Secretary Liang, come with me to the base hotel.”

Coincidentally, the Zhou family’s twenty-odd ability users were staying at the base hotel, so they might be able to help.

Father and son headed straight for the base hotel.

At the same time, a war was on the verge of erupting at the base hotel.
