Su Shanshan quickly retreated, but the cave was still collapsing. Her path was

tightly blocked, so she could only tum back the way that she came. As she ran,

her eyebrows were tightly furrowed. The path that she had painstakingly

cleared had been buried in an instant.

As she ran back, the stones above her head continued to fall on her. Su

Shanshan was forced to dodge left and right, but there were too many stones.

If the entire cave was sealed, she would be suffocated to death.

The situation was critical. Her face grew calmer as her eyes quickly scanned the

area for anything she could use. After dodging another rock, a vine caught her

attention. Her eyes lit up. Oh right, she thought. She could hide in the spot

where she had first woken up.

However, the entrance to the original spot was blocked by stones. By this time,

the cave was almost filled with stones. She did not even have a place to step on

and could only squat on the stones.

She swung an ice blade. Unlike the previous one, this ice blade had a faint silver

light and was extremely sharp. A chill accompanied the ice blade as it struck

the stones.

The stones were shattered instantly, but the scattered ashes were blocking the

entrance, leaving only a small gap. Su Shanshan jumped over and squeezed

through the entrance.

The moment she entered the place, the crack was buried by falling stones. This

part of the cave was not affected by the collapse.

Su Shanshan had seen the situation here before and knew that she was

stepping on piles of bones. But now, she did not feel anything. In the past few

days, she had killed enough zombies to form a small mountain of their corpses.

The long period of fighting brought her back to those eight years of the

apocalypse in her previous life.

She pinched her wrist. This action was a habit she had picked up in her

previous life. Ever since she was reborn, not only had her body become weaker,

but her temperament had also been affected. Without the guardedness and

coldness that she had developed during the eight years of the apocalypse, these

days were a blessing in disguise.

She closed her eyes suddenly and struck the ice blade in her hand to the lef

The sound of flesh being cut rang out. The sound of something else crawling

on the ground became more obvious. Su Shanshan closed her eyes tightly and

relied on her ears to constantly dodge the attacks. Vines from all directions

wrapped around her limbs.

In such a dark environment, it was better to close her eyes and rely on her

hearing to discern the sounds. Her ears twitched quickly, and the ice blades in

her hand hit with precision the spots where the sounds came from. One after

another, the vines were lopped off by her, but more vines surged towards her.

These vines had stopped concealing their voices, and the rustling sounds

became more distinct.

Su Shanshan had no patience for further entanglement with these mutant

plants. Suddenly a layer of ice formed around her, wrapping around her body.

She stopped trying to prevent the vines from getting close to her. In an instant,

she was covered in vines. The vines kept tightening their grip on her. If anyone

was around, all they would see was a green ball of vine. All the vines in the cave

had surrounded her. This green ball was getting bigger.

Because the vines were gone from the walls, some light appeared in the cave.

Only then did she see that the veins on these vines were red, and the liquid

flowing inside was like blood. It was extremely strange.

Su Shanshan’s eyes suddenly widened as a cold light flashed across. She placed

her hand on the innermost vine and shouted coldly, “Break!

Countless silver needles shot out from the inside of the vines, and all the vines

were cut into sections. Light returmed to Su Shanshan’s eyes, and she had to

shut them to get used to it. She walked to the center of the vines and reached

out to fiddle with them. She found the main branch and took out its crystal

core. It was a light green crystal core that was very dazzling under the sun.

Just like that, the mutant vines that had dominated the apocalyptic era and

became the biggest enemy of mankind were destroyed by Su Shanshan

Su Shanshan put away the crystal core. She already had a lot of crystal cores in

her space, including some level-three and level-four ones. They were her

spoils of war these days. She wondered how the situation was outside. With

these crystal cores, she could do many things. The only currency in the

apocalyptic era was crystal cores.
