"six… five… four…"

Hearing the countdown, Hary felt his heartbeat hasten up in fear. "no.. no, no, no.. that idiot!" he threw open the door ready to jump out.

Tian grabbed him by his neck and pulled him in. she hurriedly closed the door. "What are you fucking doing! Stay in eth fucking car!"

"Three… two…"

"I can't! He is going to die!! I can't allow him to," he struggled in her grip.

Tian did not relent though. "we should follow orders, Hary! Yue probably has everything under control!" she growled pushing him down violently on the back seat.

-n0ve1、com Hary struggled to sit up. "I can't! I won't allow him to do this! I can't… I can't handle this…" he said with a look of defeat.

"One."

Tian hurriedly tied up a frantic Hary in the base seat with the seat belt and constricted him. his metal body was hard to deal with but with an expert hand she was able to hold him down.

"Tian… please… please. He is going to die if I don't do anything. Please…"

Tian froze. "Who?"

"That idiot, Prisitsky,"

Tian did not let go of him but she moved forward and bit and took the walkie. "Yue?"

"Yeah?"

"What is Prisitsky doing?"

"dunno… he didn't specify what he was doing."

"Stop him!!" Hary screamed.

there was a small scratchy sound on the walkie-talkie. "is that Hary?'"

"Yes, he is going crazy. just take care of that crazy scientist, okay? I will hold this brute down."

"Okay?"

Tian placed the walkie down and sat on Hary. "See, Yue has it all under control,"

At the same time, in the front of the lineup, Prisitsky looked around.

The twenty or something cattle still standing. a few had fallen into the pit the ability users had dug. sone was killed by the rocket launcher. mooing loudly the cattle charged ta him.

Prisitsky hurriedly ran to Yue's car, pull the pea vine down from the roof, and wrapped it around his waist and shoulders.

Yue gave him a weird look through the window. he tried to open the door but the mad scientist banged it close from the outside. "What are you doing?"

"I trust you to pull me out." Prisitsky just smiled. This was it.

This was his moment to do something for the people who had been protecting I'm all his life.

He removed his shirt and stretched painfully. The powerful force sleeping in his body started to move. His veins, his bones, His muscles started to turn green and moved like a snake.

Through the back of his neck, a huge branch broke out.

Yue was shocked. "Dad is that…"

"No, I'm not doing anything. It's his ability…." His dad whispered with a deep frown. "it looks like he is in pain…"

Prisitsky groaned loudly. he looked so uncomfortable. He fell down to his knees on the blood-covered ground as more of these branches escaped from his body. Like tentacles, they moved around.

Few of them moved close to his window gently tapping on the glass as if testing it.

"not them!" Prisitsky groaned loudly. "Those! Kill those things first!"

The tree branch, which had a life of its own, paused. Without a second pause, it started to attack the cows that were rushing toward them. With one tentacle-like branch, it grabbed the cows by their necks and with one tentacle it tore into its brains stealing a small white crystal.

Yue noticed that the small zombie nuclear disappear from the branch. It was like it was eating it.

After taking out the crystal the branches did not spare the cows though. It tangled up around it like a huge snake constricting its prey. Small white root-like structures came out of it and started to suck the blood out of the zombies.

Yue watched this in horror.

Prisitsky's ability was not like his dad's. His father had the ability to create and enrich plants while Prisitsky had the ability to destroy. The plant in his body were predators. They were born to devour.

Unlike any muttered plants they were strong, resistant, and smart. It was like an intelligent creature of its own.

It was stunningly fascinating but at the same time fear inducing.

In just ten minutes, the twenty cows and a few other zombies became the tree branch's prey. Their bodies were reduced to a husk that was dissuaded all on the ground.

"hgnmm…" a small groan disrupted his thoughts.

Yue hurriedly glanced down. He couldn't see Prisitsky at all.

A thick layer of the tree trunk was surrounding his body completely. Only a part of his forehead was seen.

"Shit! Dad, pull him out! Pull him out! Hurry up!"

The pea vine that was wrapped around Prisitsky's waist was tugged and pulled by both Fan and Yue. The tree branch seems to notice their movement.

It lashed out by throwing branches their way. But as it got close, priestly shouted from inside the huge tree trunk.

The tree branch paused.

Yue and Fan took this momentary pause to hurriedly pull Prisitsky out of the deadly trap. The poor scientist was already rendered unconscious.

Ye rushed out of the door and dragged Prisitsky in and closed the door in a hurry. "si eh breathing!"

"Yes…"

He let out a deep breath of relief.

"But he is very weak… look at his body," Fan whispered with a small frown.

Yue glanced back. Prisitsky in fac looked a few rounds slimmer. His body was already on the lean side but now it looked malnourished. There was a small green cord-like thing stuck to the back of his neck. "What the heck was that…"

Yue glanced out the window. There was a huge hollow space where Prisitsky was supposed to be. There was a weird bright green branch there. "Was it connected to his body sucking his nutrients."

"Most likely," Fan patted his back. "Drive. Who knows what it will do,"

"Yeah…" Yue started the car and ordered all the vehicles to follow after him as fast as they could.

As if hearing this the tree tapped on his window. Its huge branches fell on their car weighing it down.

Yue glanced up in shock. the windshield was starting to crack. "Fan dear hold out your hand," he held his hand back.

Fan touched his palm.

He immediately copied his lightening ability.

Yue lowered the window a little so that it would fit his broken sword. He hurriedly stabbed the tree and let out a huge amount of current.

The tree trembled violently. parts of the branched turned black like it was being charred from inside.

He took this chance to hurriedly drive away.

The tree couldn't follow them as it was rooted to the ground. It tried to reach out his branches towards them but it failed.

Yue glanced at the rearview mirror. The tree did not bother any other vehicles. It only seemed to be interested in their car.

"Its after priestly," Fan added with a deep frown. "it used to be inside his body.. I guess it feels some sort of connection with him,"

"Connection, my ass! It just tried to eat him!"

The disgruntled tree couldn't stop them. So, it decided to toss out its sharp seed at them. Each seed as sharp as daggers littered the ground. As they drove on it, their tires tore in many places.

"Fucking hell! I hate that tree!!"
