An Nuan gave a thumbs-up.
"Xiu Xiu did a beautiful job!"
"Heh heh, Jin Lan helped me research it together. Different runes have vastly different effects."
"The most special thing about this peony flower is that it fuses the effects of Mu Yu and Song Yan's flames. After exploding, if left unchecked, it will linearly weaken. If it encounters something easily flammable, it will reignite, and its effect will be amplified again before weakening."
"If someone tries to extinguish the fire with water and earth, the peony flower will spring back like a coiled spring until all external force is burned away."
"So, to extinguish the peony explosive, you either need an ability like Nuan Zong to devour it, or you need to use flames of equal density to fuse and assimilate it."
"Fu Shao's decomposition ability should also work, but nothing else."
An Nuan understood more or less.
It was a case of the stronger the enemy, the stronger I am; the weaker the enemy, the weaker I am.
If left to my own devices, I'll die quickly; if pressured, I'll rebound and make you taste my power.
An Nuan enthusiastically ruffled his hair, "Xiu Xiu, you're truly a genius!"
Xiu Ao's cheeks turned red, and he smiled shyly.
Back then, he was caged and treated like livestock for amusement. If it weren't for An Nuan, he would have died long ago.
The faction that had imprisoned him back then also involved Jun Ge.
This time, Xiu Ao brought many gifts and planned to "take good care" of Jun Ge.
Xiu Ao said, "Nuan Zong, Jun Ge is also in this city. Could he be secretly colluding with the United Army?"
Of course, he would. That's why she had started making preparations the day before yesterday.
You want to plot against me, but only if you can succeed.
If the news in the city can't get out, and the United Army can't get in, how can they make a move?
An Nuan touched the floral earring by her ear.
"Luo Luo, how are things on your end?"
"The root system has extended three hundred meters underground. Jun Ge's base has been located. Old Bird is leading people to monitor the surroundings. Anyone or any animal that comes out of the base will be killed without mercy."
Luo Luo was in a dense forest, filled with rampant man-eating flowers, walking trees, and peashooters spraying spores everywhere...
The creatures in this forest were bizarre.
But they suited Luo Luo's taste perfectly.
After discussing with a thousand-year-old tree spirit, she merged half of her body into the tree and used the power of the entire forest to locate Jun Ge's exact position.
Luo Luo exclaimed, "Awesome!"
"A base only appeared at a depth of one hundred and fifty meters underground. This place is a natural concave region with water and mountains, so naturally, there would be some creatures."
"They actually covered the top and leveled it to look like flat ground."
"On this flat ground, there are ruins, and thousands of wild survivors are living here."
The more imagination people have, the greater the possibility.
An Nuan couldn't help but recall what a certain celebrity had said: Some things are originally far from you, but if you dare to imagine them, they will draw closer and closer.
Jun Ge had literally changed the topography to hide himself.
It had to be said, he was quite something.
An Nuan turned her head and smiled at everyone, "Things are about ready here. Our counter-offensive plan can proceed to the next stage."
Her father took off his hat and held it to his chest, sighing, "Girl, you're truly not human, but I like it!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Da Xiong still couldn't understand what had happened.
Clearly, they were the weaker side, but it seemed like the situation had reversed in an instant.
How did it reverse?
When did Luo Luo do all this?
Where did these weapons come from?
He couldn't figure any of it out...
The great fire burned until the latter half of the night. Some people noticed the fire growing fiercer. Fighting it was actually making it harder to extinguish.
The main force immediately retreated from the encampment. Because of the wind, they had to fall back ten kilometers.
Watching the raging fire in front of them consume their equipment entirely.
Hao Zi cursed furiously, "Damn it, how did it explode? Who can tell me how those trash got mixed in!"
You ask me, I ask who?
Several leaders shrugged, their faces full of despair.
Tang Qing frowned and said, "Twenty armored tanks, thousands of artillery shells, and five hundred boxes of explosives and firearms are all gone. If headquarters investigates, we'll all be held responsible."
Tang Qing hadn't even accounted for the dead yet.
Not to mention those who died in the fire-fighting efforts.
Tang Qing said with a headache, "The enemy definitely has high-level ability users too, their abilities are probably similar to telekinesis. Should we report to headquarters?"
"Is that necessary?"
A pair of twins sitting on wolfbacks sneered.
"Those useless fools are dead, good riddance to the incompetent. It saves on rations."
"Brother is right, get rid of the useless ones sooner!"
"Exactly. And the equipment, it's nice to have, but it's not essential. We're still here."
The twins were exceptionally confident.
Hao Zi also slowly calmed down, laughing maniacally with a contorted face.
"Heh heh heh, that's right, just a batch of equipment, no big deal."
"Once we conquer the target, boss won't care about that little stuff."
"Besides, there are so many women and children. We can get as much equipment as we want in exchange!"
Hao Zi laughed heartily, "My kin, come, come to me!"
Tang Qing soon heard rustling sounds.
Liu Qing was the first to see something moving and cried out in horror:
"Sister Qing, look, rats!"
Swarms of rats were surging towards them from all directions.
The gray and black rats, dense and numerous, converged on them like a mudslide.
Corpses they encountered along the way were instantly devoured by the rat swarms.
Tang Qing's skin crawled.
"Hao Zi, what are you doing?"
"Heh heh, the vanguard tank group was wiped out, so I'll be the vanguard. I'm going to kill these bastards and turn them all into fertilizer!"
Tang Qing felt sick to her stomach.
This ability was truly horrifying...
The twins were also quite displeased with this ability.
The most resilient creatures in the apocalypse were still the "four pests." One had to admit, these things were truly formidable, impossible to eradicate!
No matter the era, they thrived!
But it was undeniably unpleasant.
The twins complained, "Are your grandsons clean? Won't we get the plague?"
"Funny, have you ever seen a clean rat?"
"But don't worry, we're on the same side. I wouldn't be foolish enough to let you contract the plague."
"But the enemies in front... they might not be so lucky!"
Hao Zi trembled with excitement at the thought of the enemies being torn apart by rats.
Two large incisors protruded from his mouth, making him look like a humanoid rat.
"Watch me kill them!"
Far away at the radar base, An Nuan saw this scene and felt a bit frantic.
Dense swarms were the most difficult to deal with.
Star Devour could effectively eliminate them, but it was too disgusting.
An Nuan didn't want them to perish in her spatial dimension.
What should she do?
