Chapter 695 Storm Stealth, Poison Ivy's Deadly Intent
The moment I stepped out of the hotel's shelter, the whole world seemed to instantly transform into purgatory.
The gale, like an invisible behemoth, raged and roared across the heavens and earth.
A coconut tree as thick as a bowl was snapped in half, its massive canopy swept into the sky and torn into countless flying fragments.
The rain poured down, the raindrops so dense they resembled a curtain of water, stinging the face and making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.
"Well……"
Although Su Qingge's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, she still appeared incredibly small in the face of such extreme and harsh natural forces.
As soon as she stepped outside, a gust of horizontal wind blew her off balance, and the slippery mud under her feet nearly made her fall.
She used all her strength to barely keep herself from being blown away, and every step forward required tremendous effort.
At this rate, let alone reaching the back of the mountain, I'm afraid my strength will be exhausted before I've even walked a hundred meters!
Just then, a pair of strong, powerful arms suddenly lifted her up from behind.
"what!"
Su Qingge exclaimed in surprise. The next second, she felt her body lighten as Lin Chen easily carried her in his arms in a princess carry.
No, it's not a princess carry.
Lin Chen quickly adjusted his position, letting her lie on his broad, thick back.
"Hurry up!"
Lin Chen's deep and powerful voice clearly reached her ears amidst the howling wind.
Su Qingge subconsciously wrapped her arms tightly around Lin Chen's neck and her legs around his firm waist.
When her soft cheek pressed against Lin Chen's neck, which was wet with rain but still warm, an unprecedented sense of security instantly enveloped her.
The outside world was in turmoil and chaos, but his back was like the most solid and warmest harbor in the world.
[God-level Parkour]! Begin!
Lin Chen's feet seemed to be rooted to the ground; no matter how fierce the wind raged, his lower body remained as stable as Mount Tai.
Carrying the weight of an adult on his back seemed like no burden to him at all.
He is no longer walking against the wind, but has started running!
His figure blurred into a blurry afterimage in the dark jungle, sometimes speeding across a huge tree trunk blown down by the wind as if walking on flat ground, and sometimes using the momentum of a steep slope to leap lightly over the rushing mudslide below.
Those obstacles that Su Qingge considered potentially fatal—the whistling broken branches, the sharp metal sheets whipped up by the wind, the deep pits that suddenly collapsed in the ground—were all easily and effortlessly avoided by Lin Chen with the precision of his [God-Level Parkour]'s built-in ability to predict landing points and sense danger.
Su Qingge closed her eyes tightly, buried her face in Lin Chen's neck, feeling the wind whistling past her ears and the man's strong, powerful heartbeat.
She even had the illusion that she wasn't running for her life, but experiencing the world's most thrilling roller coaster.
Just then, Lin Chen, who was running at high speed, suddenly twitched his nose slightly.
[A god-like sense of smell]!
He precisely detected a faint, yet remarkably clear, sweet scent, similar to bitter almonds, mixed in with the earthy, pungent smell of the wind and rain!
This taste... it's cyanide!
Lin Chen abruptly stopped, carving two deep furrows in the slippery mud, before coming to a steady halt.
"What's wrong?"
Startled by the sudden pause, Su Qingge looked up in confusion.
"Hold your breath!"
Lin Chen's voice suddenly became extremely serious, devoid of any emotion.
Although Su Qingge didn't understand why, she immediately held her breath because of her unconditional trust in Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's as he swept over a patch of low bushes twenty meters ahead.
To the average person, it was just an ordinary patch of plants, but in his vision of [God-level Horticulture Mastery] and [God-level Biology Mastery], the shape of that shrubbery presented a bizarre state that completely violated the laws of natural growth.
Their vines have an abnormal dark purple color, and the veins of their leaves are not net-like or parallel, but rather like a circuit board, covered with tiny, shimmering fluorescent nodes.
Under the strong wind, the leaves of these vines rub against each other violently, and some tiny, almost invisible spore powder is released from the glands on the back of the leaves. It combines with the moisture in the air and quickly decomposes into highly toxic cyanide gas!
"Genetically modified Poison Ivy, the work of the Dark Moon Organization, truly insidious."
Lin Chen snorted coldly in his heart.
The insidious nature of this poison ivy trap lies in its use of typhoon days as a natural "fan" to spread colorless and odorless poisonous gas over a wide area.
Anyone who tries to pass through this road will unknowingly inhale poisonous gas and eventually die silently due to paralysis of the central nervous system.
Retreat?
Taking a detour?
In this race against time, that was not Lin Chen's choice!
Without the slightest hesitation, he gently put Su Qingge down and pulled a sharp military dagger from his tactical bag at his waist.
"Wait for me here, cover your mouth and nose, and don't move."
After saying that, his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning once again, rushing towards the poisonous vines with a strange "Z"-shaped movement!
He did not rush directly into the area filled with poisonous gas, but instead moved at high speed around the perimeter of the poison vine formation.
With each step he took, he landed precisely on a protruding volcanic rock.
His "God-level Materials Science Mastery" allowed him to instantly determine that these volcanic rocks were rich in alkaline minerals.
With a flick of his wrist, his military knife drew several silver streaks in the air, precisely severing several of the thickest, cable-like root nodes beneath the ground!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
With a few muffled thuds, a purplish-black, foul-smelling liquid spurted out from the broken end.
Deprived of the energy supply from the roots, the vines that were still frantically releasing poisonous gas seemed to have their power cut off instantly, and the fluorescent light on their leaves quickly dimmed.
After doing all this, Lin Chen didn't even stop for a moment. He bent down, quickly scraped several handfuls of alkaline volcanic ash from the ground with his military knife, then mixed it with rainwater and quickly kneaded it into two sticky lumps of mud.
He covered one of the mud clumps with his mouth and nose, then rushed back to Su Qingge's side with lightning speed, gently pressing the other mud clump, still warm from his body, onto Su Qingge's mouth and nose.
"That's fine. Alkaline soil can neutralize the residual toxic gases in the air."
Su Qingge felt the unique scent of earth and masculine aroma mingling in her mouth and nose, and looked at Lin Chen's calm and composed profile in the wind and rain. Her heart had already completely succumbed to his charm.
This man seemed to be omnipotent.
Without further delay, the two quickly passed through the now-ineffective poison vine array and continued their rapid stealth towards the back mountain.
