Chapter 56: Let's go watch a movie

'It's fine, the boss is thick-skinned.' Drunken Nocturnal, who never thinks things through when drunk, was kicked by Xiuzhi the next second and nearly fell to the ground.

'Idiot, you can speak with some sense.'

Ever since Xiuzhi called Drunken Nocturnal an idiot once, he seemed to have become addicted to it.

Drunken Nocturnal sighed with an expression that he could do nothing about this loyal dog, and explained to Chang Li,

'Okay, in fact, in January and February, the extremely cold weather might freeze the boss, but the current temperature is nothing for the boss.'

Since the end of the world, every January and February has been extremely terrifying for everyone.

In that extremely cold weather, snowstorms will sweep the entire world, dripping water into ice, making it impossible to move even one step outside. Even if you stay at home, you may very well freeze to death.

Chang Li nodded without saying anything more, but secretly glanced at the two people in the darkness again. He thought to himself, if men are not afraid of the cold, are women not afraid of it too? It seems that the boss of Drunken Night is also an asshole who doesn't treat women as human beings.

Also, in this end of the world, you simply cannot treat anyone as a good person.

Although Yuying didn't want to, she had to share a fire with Drunken Night and the others. Chang Li hadn't given them any fire-starting tools, and she and Xu Yushan didn't have any either. They didn't have the same ability to keep out the cold as Mo Wen, and if they didn't come near the fire, they would freeze to death.

Yuying felt ashamed and hung her head. Xu Yushan took meticulous care of her throughout the whole process, his face full of concern.

Gee, here comes another pair of dog abusers. Drunken Night pouts.

'Not that I'm saying, what exactly happened to you guys?' Perhaps feeling that the quiet atmosphere was too strange, Chang Li rubbed his smooth skull and laughed at Yu Ying, 'A team with a seventh-order mutant can lose someone in this place in District 2...to be honest, it's really rare.'

'What do you mean!' Feeling that Chang Li's words had a disdainful tone, Yu Ying opened her eyes wide and angrily said, "This is our first time in the Land of the Dead, how can we compare with you wandering guys!'

'First time here..." Drunken Night laughed, "No wonder.'

'No wonder what?" Yu Ying's mood was already bad, and now it is even worse, 'If it wasn't for that damned alien plant, do you think my boyfriend could have disappeared here!'

Alien plant?

Even Xiuqi raised his head in surprise when he heard this word.

In the Huaguo country, alien plants are mainly distributed in two places: one is the poisonous fog area at the junction of the north and south, and the other is the Forest of Death in District 7 of the Land of the Dead.

No one has ever heard of anyone encountering an alien plant in District 2 of the Land of the Dead.

'What kind of alien plant did you encounter?' Chang Li asked with a frown and a grave expression, suddenly feeling a bad feeling in his heart.

'Nepenthes.' Yu Ying looked up. When they arrived, she had done some simple research on the strange plants, and she could now call the name of the strange plant that had attacked them.

Recalling the scene of Wanda being pierced by the sharp teeth of the Nepenthes, her heart could not calm down no matter what.

'Why would there be Nepenthes in Area 2?' Xiu Qi frowned with some confusion on his face.

The Nepenthes was named after the Nepenthes before the end of the world because of its resemblance to it. It is mostly distributed at the junction of the northern and southern regions. Only the fifth and sixth districts of the Deadlands can see this alien plant, and it has never appeared in the second district.

'Wait a minute.' Chang Li suddenly changed his face. He stood up and shouted at Yu Ying in surprise, 'Did you not pull out the Nepenthes by the roots? !'

Yu Ying was stunned. Before she could say anything, the soil beneath Chang Li's feet suddenly began to sink, and a pair of huge sharp teeth on either side pierced the soil and bit towards his feet.

Chang Li was after all a person who had wandered in the land of the dead, and he was very trapped, but he still avoided it keenly. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he landed, he felt a sharp pain in the calf of his leg. The Nepenthes with barbed tentacles wrapped around his leg, and a fierce tug caused him to trip and fall to the ground.

The huge petals broke through the soil, and the orange outer membrane was still stuck with a layer of sand.

Xiu Qi was the first person to get away from this place of trouble. He watched from afar as Chang Li was about to be dragged into the Pitcher Plant's mouth, expressionless as he raised his hands and wrapped them around his arms.

Most alien plants in the end times have consciousness, and the Pitcher Plant is no exception. If someone encounters it and does not uproot it, it can pursue revenge even if they hide in the ends of the earth and the corners of the sea.

But this is quite similar to Drunken Night... Xiu Qi thought teasingly. This time, the Nepenthes was obviously going after Yu Ying and the others. Chang Li was attacked because he had come into contact with Yu Ying and picked up her scent.

He looked up at Mo Wen's direction and saw that Mo Wen was sitting higher up with Yu Lan, watching the fun, feeding Yu Lan while they watched, enjoying themselves immensely.

Yu Lan stared at the piggyback plant with great interest, itching to rush up and take a bite, but unfortunately she was pinned down by Mo Wen and couldn't move at all.

Seeing that Mo Wen had no intention of intervening, Xiuzhi watched the show even more complacently.

The piggyback plant was not a very dangerous exotic plant, and as long as it was uprooted, it would have no deterrent effect.

Zhang Xin hugged his head and hid as far away as possible, not watching the show or gloating, but avoiding the danger obediently.

Now the only people left in the middle of the conflict were Drunken Night, Yuying, Xu Yushan, and Chang Li, who was about to be eaten.

Drunken Night was very righteous and took out a dagger to cut the long whiskers of the piggy bank plant, saving Chang Li.

'Are you okay?' He tugged Chang Li's arm and dragged him back a little, smiling lightly as he asked, his gaze falling on the bloody, mangled calf that had been hooked by the barbs on the long whiskers.

Unlike zombies, xenomorphs and mutant beasts that injure people will not turn them into zombies, so there was no need to worry about Chang Li turning into a zombie.

'Thank you, I'm fine.' Chang Li used Drunken Nightless's arm to stand up, looked at the Nepenthes in front of him, who gave up on him and turned his petals towards Yu Ying, who dodged.

'Ah!' Yu Ying screamed, hid behind Xu Yushan, stumbled and tripped.

Xu Yushan, on the other hand, was in a sorry state, having used the sand and gravel on the ground in front of him to erect a barrier.

'A seventh-level earth-type mutant is actually this weak?' Drunken Night rolled his eyes in disbelief. He was a healing-type mutant, and he could have solved this strange plant without using his mutant power. 'I think I know how her boyfriend died.'

He was killed by his stupid girlfriend.

'I'll do it.' Chang Li sighed in exasperation, ignoring the wound on his leg as he stood up.

He took out the pistol he had strapped to his waist and fired two shots at the Nepenthes. He then charged forward with all his strength, landing a shot at the thick stem of the plant.

The Nepenthes seemed to feel the pain, shaking its petals as countless tendrils whipped towards Chang Li.
