Chapter 923: Chapter 923 Just a Wood Element
"Oh? Help?"
Lu Hao chuckled softly; these people surrounding the entrance didnât look like they were here to help.
"Xiao Hao, youâre back!"
Lu Guanhai and Huang Yunxiang inside the house didnât expect Lu Hao and the others to return so quickly today, but since Lu Hao and Su Jin had returned, they no longer worried.
Seeing Lu Guanhai and Huang Yunxiang holding Lu Wang and Lu Xi, the three understood why the family had just kept the door tightly shut â presumably, the whole family who went out to fight zombies hadnât returned yet.
"Is this how you ask for help? What do you mean by blocking someoneâs door?"
Lin Xiuyuan protectively asked, knowing his familyâs safety was threatened, his fondness for these people immediately vanished.
"Are you the Heart Talk Team?"
The man in the gray coat now looked at the three, but Su Jin couldnât be bothered with them as Lu Xi and Lu Wang had spotted them, reaching out and babbling "mom" and "dad."
"Xiao Jin, this team, I donât know where theyâre from, but they knocked on the door and asked to borrow our Mental Element Ability User for a few days. When we said no, they blocked the door and insisted on staying until we agreed."
Huang Yunxiang explained the situation clearly in a few sentences.
Su Jin felt relieved seeing Lu Xi and Lu Wang werenât scared. "I understand, leave this to us," she said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, donât get us wrong, weâre not hooligans; we just want to borrow someone briefly,"
A cheerful young woman stepped out and explained.
"Do you think our people are easy to borrow?"
Su Jin retorted.
"Hehe, we just heard the SS-level Heart Talk Team reputation, but itâs because of your strength and the Mental Element Ability User in your team that we..."
The womanâs words were interrupted by Lin Xiuyuan.
"And what? Do we know you? Isnât this ridiculous?"
"Young man, donât say that. We are all human and survivors; shouldnât we help each other? We know youâre worried, but we assure you, after clearing out a mall with your Mental Element Ability User, weâll return them to you,"
Li Xunyan patiently continued.
Their team, also refugees from the K Province base, stumbled upon this area and were thrilled to find many places still stocked with supplies. The vast Y Autonomous Region had few survivors, so they targeted a few malls. But those places were undoubtedly zombie hotspots, so when they heard the Heart Talk Team had a âliving mapâ Mental Element Ability User, they became interested.
However, the reputedly formidable Heart Talk Team seemed hard to negotiate with, and the cold-faced man had already issued an eviction order.
"No borrowing, and you better not come back,"
Lu Hao said coldly, grateful they returned early today; who knows what these people would have done otherwise.
"Weâre also trying to kill more zombies and contribute to humanity. Are you really not lending?"
The man in the gray coatâs face instantly changed.
"Not lending, not lending,"
Lin Xiuyuan waved them off, not even wanting to glance at this rabble.
"Think carefully. Our team has over forty people, and your Heart Talk Team only has ten,"
Li Xunyan said with a smile.
"Oh, dear! Youâre so scary! But itâs quite a large group just to borrow one of our people. Tsk tsk, not very impressive, are you?"
Lin Xiuyuanâs words made Su Jin chuckle, even Huang Yunxiang found it satisfying to hear him push back occasionally.
But this angered the group, and people behind them began to voice criticism.
"Weâre not keeping your people. The more friends we have, the easier future problems will be; wouldnât we help you if you were in trouble?"
"Weâve come so many to plead, and you donât give us any face?"
"If youâre really worried, you can come with us. We wonât harm your partner,"
"..."
Su Jin picked up Lu Xi and Lu Wang and went inside, returning alone shortly after. She nodded at the family outside, then looked at the group outside with a hostile gaze.
"Iâm the Heart Talk Team leader. At no time will any member of the Heart Talk Team be lent to anyone else! What youâre doing is inciting a mob. If you donât leave after three counts, donât blame us for being impolite!"
Su Jin said coldly.
"Yan Zi, itâs said the Heart Talk Team leader is a Level Eight powerhouse. Maybe we should go back for today,"
A man stepped behind Li Xunyan, whispering.
"Havenât you noticed? There are only five of them now, and two children inside. Are you willing to give up so many supplies? Besides, even if sheâs a Level Eight, itâs just Wood Element,"
Li Xunyan naturally was unwilling to leave easily. If they could take one of the children hostage inside, the Heart Talk Team might have no choice but to lend someone.
"Exactly. If we can take that Mental Element Ability User..."
The man in the gray coat felt impatient, imagining an ever-reliable living map, they wouldnât fear going anywhere.
A returning team had gathered to watch, mostly for entertainment value.
"Ignorance is terrifying; they dare provoke the Heart Talk Team,"
"What backwater place is K Province? They dare mess with SS-level people?"
Onlookers thought these people must be crazy; moralizing the Heart Talk Team wasnât enough, now they vaguely intended assault.
"One, two, three..."
Lin Xiuyuan smiled, showing three fingers. Su Jin only gave them three seconds, clearly not intending to let them leave.
"So, youâre really not leaving?"
Su Jin smiled, determined that if she didnât scare them off today, sheâd never feel at ease leaving people at home again.
Using Wood Element Ability slowly, an intense oppressive force descended. Not only Li Xunyan and the group showed changed expressions, even the onlooking team sensed the overwhelming pressure!
Countless vines and green branches spread rapidly; within moments, everyone saw only green. In the next moment, Li Xunyan and the others found themselves in the dense greenery of a forest without entrance or end, dependent on the few light beams above for visibility.
"What is this?! An illusion?"
A man behind looked around in shock and shouted.
"Itâs not an illusion! Itâs real! She conjured a forest!"
Lu Guanhai had already set up a small bench at the door, watching with interest. Those people inside were probably doomed! Every leaf and branch in that closed forest was under Su Jinâs control, serving as her eyes and weapons.
