Chapter 370: Chapter 370: If Only It Would Rain Heavily

A powerful Third Rank Superpower User like Li Zhi, among ordinary people, is considered the pinnacle of existence.

It is precisely because of this that he can turn this town into a paradise where only they live.

Unfortunately, they ran into the Bai Family.

Under the same energy, water will eventually conquer fire.

Old man Bai Zhengxuan, though a Third Rank Superpower User with water, wood, and fire abilities, hadn’t neglected training any of them.

The old man’s mentality was simple: he didn’t want to cause trouble for the younger generation.

The world is already in an apocalypse, and the environment for survival has become increasingly harsh.

Unlike Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu, who live freely and unrestrained, he still has a family.

Being old as he is, he can’t cause trouble for his family.

Additionally, he doesn’t want to witness the tragedy of burying one’s own children.

Just hearing Bai Yifan mention Bai Xiqin’s nightmare, Bai Zhengxuan could imagine what he and his wife would do if something truly happened!

It wouldn’t matter if he died, but what he couldn’t bear was seeing the younger generation die in front of him one by one.

At the Fire Phoenix Safety Base, during the day, he’d go out with Wang Liu and the others, enjoying the delights of old age.

At night, he diligently absorbed the Crystal Cores, hoping to protect the children.

Bai Zhengxuan looked at the immature faces in front of him, shook his head slightly, and without mercy, directed a strong stream of water, sending tender green climbing vines rushing toward Li Zhi.

The water flow grew larger, directly extinguishing the flames surrounding Li Zhi.

The leaves of the mutated climbing vine became extraordinarily sharp, entwining Li Zhi through the water flow.

The green tendrils swelled rapidly, splitting into more verdant vines, lunging towards the youths behind Li Zhi.

“Ah! What is this!”

“Damn! Cut these vines off quickly!”

The young ones waved their knives, but no matter what, they couldn’t slice the vines, helplessly watching as they became bound by them.

The sharp leaves cut into their skin, revealing streaks of blood as it slowly poured forth.

Compared to the injuries on the victims’ bodies, these little wounds were considered minor.

Bai Zhengxuan had always been a loving elder to children, but for the first time, he showed no mercy.

More vines appeared, binding all the youths together. The more they struggled, the tighter the vines became, and the more wounds they received.

“Ah—”

The cornered victim in the courtyard suddenly screamed, staring unblinkingly at the young ones.

Their once vacant eyes now showed a hint of resentment.

The demons were now immobilized, but they still didn’t dare advance, merely glaring viciously.

“You are free now. When we came in, we saw many cars in the town. There should be plenty you can use. If you can find your way home, go home! If not, head north; there’s a safety base there.”

Bai Zhengxuan spoke gently to the battered victims, then retracted the core of the climbing vine, wrapping it around his wrist.

They seemed not to have heard Bai Zhengxuan, their eyes fixed on the young boys bound on the ground, their fingers clenched tightly.

The blood dripped from their fingers onto the ground, unnoticed.

The Bai Family quietly passed through the courtyard, searched the small building, only to find battered victims, and no one else.

Besides, they also saw several energy-pure Crystal Cores.

All these energy-pure Crystal Cores were extracted from human heads, and this must be the method Li Zhi mentioned for rapidly boosting Superpower.

After confirming no one else was around, the Bai Family silently left the place.

As soon as they exited the gate, a scream echoed from the courtyard.

The scream seemed to be a signal, and soon, screams echoed one after another.

The Bai Family paused momentarily, said nothing, and quietly found skateboards in the corner, riding towards the bus.

The path remained desolate, with no zombies or humans.

Only the solitary, old cars parked by the roadside and traces of where humans once lived.

Thus, no familiar faces from the past remained in the town.

Upon exiting the town, the Bai Family took off their protective suits outside the bus, burning the suits covered with black powder to ashes.

Holding their breath, they quickly boarded the bus, shut the doors, and activated the air purification system before taking deep breaths.

“Ah—” Bai Yifan exhaled long and deeply, looking towards the town, whispered, “It’d be great if it rained heavily next, washing away all the black blood. Otherwise, it pollutes the air too much.”

“With the sun blazing like this every day, who knows when there’ll be a heavy shower!”

Bai Zhengxuan looked at the western sunset, shaking his head slightly.

It was already evening, yet it remained so hot, not a single dark cloud in the sky, it certainly didn’t seem like rain was coming.

“Grandpa, aren’t you a water, wood, and fire Three Ability superpower user? Produce rain and wash it all clean!”

Bai Yifan blinked, speaking with sincere seriousness.

In his eyes, everyone in the family is quite impressive, be it grandpa or big sister, their abilities are excellent!

Bai Zhengxuan looked at the vast, dark town, nearly choking on his breath.

Just imagining the amount of rain needed would cost him half his life!

“Can’t be done!” Bai Zhengxuan waved his hand dismissively, “If I could do such unworldly feats, I’d celebrate by not eating for three days!”

Bai Yifan looked at the darkened town, sighing, clasped his hands towards the western sunset, “Dear heavens, please bring down a shower! This gloomy look is too discomforting! Even a mighty force descending to make it rain would do!”

Since Bai Yifan learned to sweep, he was always uncomfortable seeing the messy floors at home, always undertaking the household chores himself.

The town now covered in black blood was enough to upset him just by looking.

“With such an enchanting sunset outside, how could it possibly rain? Immensely powerful beings aren’t commonplace; they wouldn’t come just to bring rain!” Bai Zhengxuan shook his head speechlessly, turning to see Leng Yebai already at the driver’s seat, “Xiao Leng, what are you doing?”

“Nothing, just checking if all the windows are tightly shut.” Leng Yebai responded calmly.

Bai Yifan had spoken; now they would see how the heavens respond with rain.

Since rain was coming, it was wise to check all possible leakages ahead.

Even if Bai Yifan asked the heavens for a rain of knives, Leng Yebai believed it could happen.

Bai Zhengxuan scratched his head, not quite understanding Leng Yebai’s meaning.

As soon as Leng Yebai finished speaking, it began to drizzle outside.

Large raindrops pelted the windows.

The drops increased rapidly, and within a minute, it turned into a torrential downpour.

The rain seemed to form continuous strings, relentlessly beating down on the dark town.

The Bai Family gazed, wide-eyed, towards the west, vaguely seeing the enchanting sunset through the heavy rain.

“Wow! It’s really raining!” Bai Yifan exclaimed happily, pressing against the window, “It must wash away all the black blood!”

In the deluge, the dark town began to “fade,” gradually revealing its true appearance.
