Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You - Chapter 125 - Fighting the Piranha Flower
Chapter 125 – Fighting the Piranha Flower
Su Shanshan’s expression was anxious. Gu Jincheng held her hand gently to comfort her and asked, “How did you know that it was a man-eating flower?”
Just now, she had only touched this tree root and instantly sensed what it was.Ā How could an ordinary lady be very familiar with things like Piranha Flowers?Ā Even he had never seen a Piranha Flower. A hint of contemplation flashed across Gu Jincheng’s eyes.Ā What kind of person is this woman?
The pale Su Shanshan did not notice Gu Jincheng’s gaze but said quickly, “I’ll explain to you in the future. We have to leave now.”
Gu Jincheng frowned but did not retort.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, there was a sudden noise from upstairs. A bag hit the stairs on the third floor and landed at Su Shanshan’s feet.
At first, Su Shanshan looked up but did not see anything. Then she looked down and saw that this backpack was a little familiar. She picked it up and opened it. There was a Leaping Mercenary Group’s badge inside. Su Shanshan instantly remembered that Jinsi carried this backpack. They were indeed here!
She looked up at the place where the backpack fell from earlier, but she could not see anything. She only knew that the backpack had fallen from the fourth floor.
On the fourth floor, a pair of eyes was staring intently at Su Shanshan on the third floor. However, his body was entangled with tree roots, and his mouth was covered. Only his eyes and nose were exposed. He had used all his strength to throw his backpack down.
His eyes were filled with anxiety. He wondered if Su Shanshan would realize his intent.
Su Shanshan put away the backpack in her hand and turned around to push Gu Jincheng as if she was going downstairs. Many tree roots surrounded them at the same time, blocking their way.
The tree roots were swift and carried dozens of wind blades.
Su Shanshan looked like she was about to rush out of the mall. There were more and more tree roots, as if all the roots of this Piranha Flower were gathered here. When the tree roots tried their best to stop them, Su Shanshan suddenly turned around and made a dash for the fourth floor.
The tree roots did not react for a moment. When they reacted, Su Shanshan had already brought Gu Jin to the fourth floor.
Once they reached the fourth floor, the tree roots stopped chasing after them. The entire fourth floor was as quiet as the first floor, as if there was nothing there.
Su Shanshan closed her eyes and sensed carefully. A faint rustling sound rang in her ears. This sound made Su Shanshan open her eyes slightly. Her lips curled up into a smile.Ā Found!
She was not prepared to escape just now. Since she had confirmed that Jinsi and the rest were here, no matter how dangerous this Piranha Flower was, she would not abandon her friends and run away. Besides, the Piranha Flower was just a little harder to deal with. It was not without its weaknesses.
Gu Jincheng pointed at a room and said, “Go in.”
Su Shanshan clearly sensed that the Piranha Flower was in another room and did not understand what Gu Jincheng meant, but she believed that Gu Jincheng would not give an order for no reason. She nodded instantly and pushed him into this room.
The door was not locked, so they went in easily. The sign on the door had fallen but as Su Shanshan came in, she realized that this room was actually the surveillance room of the mall.
If they had encountered such an enemy hiding in the dark before the apocalypse, they would indeed have an advantage in coming to the surveillance room. But nowā¦ Su Shanshan picked up the broken microphone on the table and looked at it. The surface of the microphone was covered in dust. This room should have been empty before the apocalypse, so it was not attacked by zombies. Other than being a little dirty, the rest was intact.
“We can’t use these cameras anymore,” Su Shanshan said.
Gu Jincheng pointed at another corner and said, “What we need is that.”
Su Shanshan followed his hand. All she could see was a big wooden box in the corner.
“Come closer and take a look,” Gu Jincheng said again.
Su Shanshan walked over, half believing him. Still not finding anything, she pushed open the box. A black rat scurried out from the wooden box. The rat was as big as a cat. Su Shanshan, who was shocked and about to shoot an ice blade at it, retracted her hand when she saw the rat’s green eyes.
