Chapter 295

As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Little Flower turned its head towards the man.0

To everyone's astonishment, the stem of the flower rapidly lengthened.0

The enormous flower lunged fiercely towards the man.0

Man: !!!0

Others: !!0

Not only could this flower understand human speech, but it could also attack!0

But in the next moment, they realized they had been too naive.0

This flower not only attacked, but its attack power was incredibly strong!0

When the man first heard Yun Xiaoxiao's words, he was shocked and froze for a moment.0

But that shock was only due to Yun Xiaoxiao's arrogant tone.0

He didn’t believe that the morning glory would actually eat him.0

But when he saw Little Flower coming towards him, he knew she wasn’t joking.0

He quickly launched an attack, thinking to strike first.0

A flower, right? Surely it couldn’t be immune to fire?0

As luck would have it, he was a fire-based ability user!0

It was just a big flower—how could he not handle it?0

What a joke!0

Confidently, he conjured a ball of fire and hurled it at Little Flower.0

But in the next instant, he was utterly stunned.0

Not only did the fire fail to burn the morning glory, but it was blown back by a sinister gust of wind!0

The man frantically tried to defend himself, barely managing to avoid being burned.0

Before he could fully recover, he was seized by a powerful suction force.0

Then, his body flew uncontrollably through the air.0

The moment the man was swallowed by the morning glory, the scene fell into dead silence.0

Only the sound of the howling wind and the friction of snowflakes against the air could be heard.0

It seemed as if everyone’s breathing had stopped.0

“Alright, Little Flower, spit him out now.”0

Yun Xiaoxiao’s voice broke the silence at just the right moment.0

The man was spat out by the morning glory like a discarded mouthful of saliva, landing on the ground.0

Since he hadn’t been inside for long, he was still conscious and hadn’t passed out.0

At that moment, his face was filled with terror and confusion.0

It seemed he hadn’t yet processed what had just happened.0

“Now that you’ve seen Little Flower’s power, would you like to try Little Cutie’s?”0

Yun Xiaoxiao ‘politely’ asked.0

The man hastily shook his head.0

No way!0

Who would want to try something so deadly!0

Yun Xiaoxiao curled her lips slightly, her expression calm, and then slowly scanned the others.0

“As you all just saw, both animals and plants, like humans, have been affected by this virus.0

This means they, too, can develop abilities and begin to mutate.0

Although it’s only a small number now, who can guarantee it won’t become more widespread in the future?0

The deep mountains are home to the most forests and animals.0

If we move in there, regardless of the issues I mentioned earlier, what will we do if we encounter a large-scale outbreak of these mutated plants and animals?0

And let’s not forget about islands.0

Do you think there are no plants or animals on islands?0

And what about the fish in the sea—either mutated or turned into zombies?0

Who’s to say they won’t grow legs and come ashore?0

When we’re surrounded on all sides, where will we run?0

So, are these places really safe?”0

Yun Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.0

“And you haven’t even considered that zombies can mutate too. Some of them might develop intelligence—smart zombies.0

These intelligent zombies could even control zombie hordes.0

When they run out of fresh meat, do you think they’ll try to find humans and devour them?”0

This is why she firmly supported Peng Shaowei’s plan to eradicate the zombies.0

She knew the challenges humanity would face in the future would only grow, not diminish.0

The zombies were just the first wave.0

At this critical moment, as they were about to attack Rong City, she couldn’t allow anyone to undermine morale.0

“Yeah, there’s really no safe place anymore.”0

After hearing Yun Xiaoxiao’s words and witnessing the power of Little Cutie and Little Flower, everyone’s mood turned heavy.0

Especially those who had experienced the zombie siege at the Western Base—they understood exactly what Yun Xiaoxiao was trying to convey.0

“If plants and animals really start mutating, won’t humanity even have a chance to catch its breath?”0

“That’s why we need to go back to the original point—the significance of this war against the zombies.0

We must take advantage of the fact that the plants and animals haven’t yet mutated on a large scale, and the zombies haven’t developed highly intelligent leaders. We need to eliminate as many zombies as possible to give humanity a slight chance to breathe.0

This isn’t just for others—it’s for ourselves too.”0

“Exactly. Even with so many of us together, fighting zombies is already so difficult.0

When that time comes, trying to survive alone won’t be easy.0

Only by uniting can humanity have a chance to survive.”0

“Right!”0

“That makes sense!”0

Amid the chorus of agreement, Yun Xiaoxiao walked up to several people.0

“You, you, and you—come out.”0

Those she called out exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion.0

The others also looked on, puzzled, unsure why Yun Xiaoxiao had singled them out.0

“Uncles and aunties, were you planning to sneak away when you had the chance?”0

Yun Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, her big eyes wide and innocent.0

But there was no warmth in that smile.0

Hearing this, the hearts of the few skipped a beat.0

How did this little girl know?0

They tried their best to hide their panic, waving their hands frantically.0

“No, no, absolutely not!”0

“Why would I want to run away? You can’t just accuse people like that.”0

“Yeah, don’t make baseless accusations.”0

Yun Xiaoxiao lightly pursed her lips. “But weren’t you thinking of sneaking away, letting others go out and risk their lives fighting zombies, while you enjoy the fruits of their labor?”0

Having been exposed, the expressions of those few crumbled.0

Everyone immediately realized Yun Xiaoxiao was telling the truth.0

These people really were planning to sneak away!0

And this was after Yun Xiaoxiao had explained the stakes.0

Wasn’t that the same as desertion?0

How shameless!0

As everyone glared at them, Yun Xiaoxiao wasn’t idle. She walked up to a few others and called them out.0

“I wasn’t planning to run!”0

One of them immediately raised his hand.0

He was terrified Yun Xiaoxiao would pin that label on him.0

“Me neither!”0

“Same here, I’ve always been with the group. Don’t slander me!”0

The others quickly chimed in.0

But Yun Xiaoxiao smiled. “Yes, you weren’t planning to run.”0

“Then why did you call us out?”0

One of them frowned, clearly annoyed.0n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He realized that no one who had a conversation with Yun Xiaoxiao ended up well.0

This feeling was particularly unpleasant.0

Sure enough, in the next moment, Yun Xiaoxiao said something that shocked everyone.0

“Because... even though you didn’t run, you’re the slackers in the group.”
