Apocalypse King System

"Noisy!"

Liu Wanting said disdainfully. Although the man in front of her concealed it well, she could see through the despicable thoughts he was hiding. Who knew what dark ideas he was plotting?

If it were any other woman from Order here, with just one glance, Wang Meng would have been sentenced to death. However, Liu Wanting still considered herself a soldier and maintained her military responsibilities in many aspects. Given her personality, it was challenging for her to engage in slaughter.

Of course, when it came to orders from Order, especially those from her leader, she would execute them without hesitation.

After more than five years of battles and honing, Liu Wanting, once slightly immature, had grown into a true female commander capable of leading tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops into battle.

She had never forgotten the vow she made to fight for Order and for her leader. However, mixed in with this dedication was a growing admiration and reverence for men.

While Liu Wanting still felt puzzled by many of Derick's ideologies, her loyalty compelled her to carry out any order from her leader. She remained steadfast as the sharpest sword in his service.

Returning to the present, Liu Wanting looked at the man before her with indifference and contempt.

Wang Meng, feeling the weight of the woman's scornful gaze and commanding tone, flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and frustration. "Just answer me, where are you from, and what happened with that vine just now?" Liu Wanting said coldly.

Although Wang Meng felt extremely unhappy, looking at the majestic golden eagle beside him, he couldn't help but shudder and had a thought he couldn't quite believe.

"Could this mutated animal be the pet of this woman?"

He shivered, hurriedly responding. Though he wasn't sure if his assumption was correct, in the midst of the apocalypse, the last thing one wanted to provoke was those who appeared well-dressed and lacked nothing.

This implied they had a profound background or held significant power. The ordinary survivors, struggling to get enough to eat and withered away, could not possibly look so vibrant. It was almost as if they were from the time before the apocalypse. Wang Meng had seen the high-ranking officials in the Tianhe City base, and not many had such an aura.

"This plant is from the Tianhe City Botanical Garden, and it has green vines that consume people?"

Liu Wanting immediately became interested. She had sensed something peculiar about the vine just now. When she let go, the tentacle retracted at an extremely fast speed, disappearing without a trace.

"Yes, that's right. The tentacle just now belonged to that giant gray-white vine. It has already eaten several of us."

Wang Meng's eyes showed a mix of fear.

"Really? It seems you're quite lucky to survive such an attack. More than ten people, and only you lived."

Liu Wanting looked at Wang Meng meaningfully, causing a chill to run down his spine.

"Alright, take me there. Let's verify what you said."

"What? I won't go. This is suicide. That monster is too terrifying; I can't go."

Wang Meng kept stepping back, his face full of fear. He didn't want to experience the feeling of being hunted again.

"I'm afraid you don't have a choice!"

Liu Wanting gave a cold smile. After years of war, her decisive and ruthless temperament showed, frightening Wang Meng to the point where his legs went weak, nearly sitting on the ground.

"Oh God, who is this woman? Such terrifying eyes."

With just one glance from Liu Wanting, Wang Meng felt like his heart was about to stop. The dense, almost visible killing intent seemed to indicate a scene of corpses and blood.

At some point, the head of the golden eagle also lowered, its sharp gaze fixed on Wang Meng. With a beak over three meters long, it seemed as if it could devour him with a single bite whenever he retreated.

Wang Meng even doubted whether his relatively robust physique, which might seem impressive to ordinary people, was sufficient to fit between the giant eagle's teeth.

"You, you're not military personnel, how can you force us to go to such a dangerous place?"

Wang Meng was drenched in cold sweat, standing still out of fear.

"Little Jin, take him. Let's go."

Liu Wanting gave a command, then directly flew onto the back of the golden eagle.

Before Wang Meng could recover from the shock, he was grabbed by the eagle's sharp talon, hanging on it. The eagle's wings vibrated, and with a speed that broke the sound barrier, it flew directly towards the direction of the botanical garden.

In just a few seconds, the golden eagle landed on top of a small building in the botanical garden.

The enormous eagle's claw almost occupied the entire rooftop. In front of the massive size of the golden eagle, the small building seemed to have less than half its body left. It looked as if a child were standing on top of a soda can, as if the building could collapse at any moment.

Not far from the giant eagle, a sea of green vines entangled with the giant gray-white vine. At this moment, the green vines had covered half the height of the giant vine, absorbing its life force.

The gray-white giant vine, perhaps due to devouring a few people just now, finally had a moment to breathe and was resisting the devouring of the green vines.

"Interesting, a botanical garden with two mutant plants of the same species but evolving in different directions. It seems this place is not simple."

Liu Wanting spoke with interest.

Leading Order's team in battles for so many years, she had seen countless things. Mutant plants, which might seem novel to others, were nothing new to Liu Wanting. Due to biological characteristics, most mutant plants had a low level of evolution, comparable to a Level 3 mutant zombie at best. Considering their rarity, not many people paid attention to them.

However, Liu Wanting was seeing such a massive vine emitting such a strong vitality for the first time. Judging from its aura alone, it could rival Liu Wanting's Level 7 magnetic control ability. This was a formidable power she had gained by killing thousands of zombies. A full-powered attack from her could easily destroy a city.

Both the giant vine monster and the sea of green vines exuded an extremely rich life force.

If the women from the Wood Temple, who possessed wood-based abilities, had come, they might have been able to discern more. Unfortunately, Liu Wanting was gifted with magnetic control abilities and could only sense that these plants were extraordinary without understanding more.

"Han Yan!"

Wang Meng, captured by the giant eagle's claw, trembled with fear, afraid that this colossal creature might crush him like a little chicken at any moment.

Watching Han Yan's figure passing through the pierced underground pipeline, escaping towards the outside of the botanical garden, Wang Meng couldn't help but shout angrily.

If this woman hadn't concealed the danger of this mission, how could he have ended up in such a predicament?

Liu Wanting flashed her figure and instantly appeared on the ground. With a lift of her hands, Han Yan and Wen suddenly felt like they were caught by an invisible giant hand. The ground above their heads cracked open, and the two of them flew straight out from inside.

"What's going on?"

Han Yan still looked bewildered, then saw the woman standing on the ground, her pupils shrinking.

"Squawk..."

In the distance, Little Gold let out a sharp roar. Liu Wanting, who was about to say something, turned her head.

It could be seen that, seemingly due to the arrival of Liu Wanting and Little Gold, the attacks between the green vines and the giant vine became even more frantic. Both sides were devouring each other, and the decisive moment was approaching.

At this moment, Little Gold roared, and with a gentle wave of its paw, it threw Wang Meng directly into the midst of the battling vines.

After a momentary daze, the entwined green vines quickly wrapped around Wang Meng. The gray-white giant vine was also unwilling to fall behind, and several tendrils followed suit, vying for dominance.

Liu Wanting glanced at the somewhat excited Xiaoqing, her expression unchanged. Although she generally didn't take the initiative to kill living people, she also didn't mind if others did.

Having received the flesh and blood thrown by Little Gold, the attacks from the two sets of vines visibly accelerated. In no time, the ocean of green vines completely covered the gray-white giant vine.
