I lay low and gave up, but my servants were caught in a cycle of life and death.

"What is it?"

Lu Yan landed on the ground and folded his wings. At that moment, he really wished he had a chair to sit on.

"I have no idea."

"I don't know?" Standing and chatting was tiring, and Lu Yan was in a bad mood. "You'd better tell me the truth, that everything you say is true and useful, otherwise, I'll destroy you."

As Lu Yan spoke, a chess piece appeared between his fingertips. He tossed it around in his palm, saying, "I have hundreds of these chess pieces..."

"No! No!!"

The pain of being bombarded by chess pieces is still vivid in my mind; even the old banyan tree's aged voice trembles slightly.

"I have lived in this world for over five hundred years, with roots extending thousands of feet, and I am very sensitive to everything underground."

On the day the end times came, I clearly sensed countless grains of rice falling, burrowing deep into the earth, releasing white and blue light, and changing the soil and water of this world.

But I really don't know what that thing is.

Lu Yan frowned. "Are there still any rice grains underground?"

"It's gone. It's long since dissolved into the soil and water."

On the first day of the apocalypse, the original owner received a text message warning from the authorities: "Never drink tap water."

I've heard that the White Eagle Empire is researching biological weapons. Could the apocalypse be a biological crisis they created?

Because of the rise of the Xia Kingdom, they can no longer become the world's hegemon, so they simply want to drag the whole world together to restart?

wrong!

In addition to zombies and zombie beasts, the post-apocalyptic world also features mutated beasts, mutated plants, and people with superpowers.

If the White Eagle Empire possessed this technology, it could conduct secret experiments and create a large number of superhumans, making the world theirs. Why bother with all this extra work?

So, where did these grains of rice that pollute our blue planet come from?

Lu Yan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so he simply stopped thinking about it and opened his bracelet to call Pang Shi'an and Zhou Zhengqing over.

Banyan Tree Spirit: !!!

The old banyan tree was so angry that its branches danced wildly. "You broke your promise again! I told you everything I knew, and you still won't let me go!!"

"I only said that if you don't talk, I'll destroy you, not that I'll let you go." Lu Yan tossed the chess piece in his hand and smiled approachably.

The wind stopped.

The trees fell silent.

The old banyan tree resigned itself to its fate.

If you fight, you can't win; if you run, you can't escape.

Heaven is going to destroy my old banyan tree!

The kitchen knife was the first to fly over, appearing next to Lu Yan.

Since consuming the military knife, it no longer appears as a kitchen knife, but as a handsome and powerful Tang sword. At this moment, its blade is gleaming, clearly having been repaired by Xiaobai.

The moment the banyan tree spirit appeared, the kitchen knife instantly transformed into a chainsaw, snarling, "Little White says, to cut down trees, a knife won't do, you have to use a chainsaw! Master, let me go in and have another look at it!"

"Buzz! Buzz buzz buzz!"

Upon hearing the sound of a chainsaw, the old banyan tree trembled reflexively.

"No, no! Young brother! I've decided to accept your contract! Now, I'm on your side!"

Lu Yan looked at the kitchen knife and chuckled, "When did you eat a chainsaw?"

"Just now, Xiaobai made this for me. And he said the chainsaw he made is an improved version; the old chainsaws needed electricity, but mine don't. I just need to ask Uncle Hei to charge it regularly!"

The sound of the cleaver was filled with the joy of discovering a new continent and the ruthlessness of wanting to devour the old banyan tree alive. "If I ever encounter a big guy like this old banyan tree that I can't cut with one stroke again, I'll turn it into a chainsaw or a drill. No matter how strong it is, it'll die!"

"Sasasa"

The old banyan tree was terrified!

Its greatest fear in life is the chainsaw of sanitation workers!

Hey kid, didn't you want a contract? Come on, hurry up!

Just then, Pang Shi'an and Zhou Zhengqing drove up in an SUV.

Pang Shi'an jumped out of the car excitedly, "Brother Yan, Brother Yan, has the old banyan tree decided to accept the contract?"

Upon hearing the word "contract," the old banyan tree immediately perked up, its body trembling as it shouted, "Contract! Contract immediately!!"

Lu Yan laughed, spread his wings, and soared into the air, flying high before breaking free from the constraints of the Heavenly Chessboard. "You better behave yourself. If you dare to do anything malicious or hurt anyone, I'll immediately annihilate you!"

Zhou Zhengqing, who had just gotten out of the car, stared blankly at Lu Yan in the sky, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, you old bastard! You're safe now, but you don't care if I live or die!"

Pang Shi'an laughed loudly as he ran towards the old banyan tree, bit the tip of his right finger, and quickly drew a contract pattern on the palm of his left hand before pressing it against the trunk of the old banyan tree.

A red light burst forth where their palms met. A moment later, the light vanished, and Pang Shi'an shouted with delight, "It's done! Hahaha!"

Zhou Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Yan landed again.

Pang Shi'an stroked the trunk of the old banyan tree with great affection. He had witnessed the power of the old banyan tree firsthand. If it weren't for Lu Yan's chessboard, they would probably all be dead at the hands of the old banyan tree today.

Hey!

This powerful banyan tree spirit is his!

Haha!

"I won't be traveling with you guys anymore! I need to take the old banyan tree back to base first!" Pang Shi'an said, then leaped onto a branch of the old banyan tree and sat down. "Old banyan tree, let's go!"

"Wait a minute," Lu Yan called out, "Are you planning to let the old banyan tree walk back by itself?"

"Huh? If he doesn't go back by himself, how will he get back?"

"First, it moves so slowly that it would probably take it several days and nights to walk back to Qingfeng Mountain on its own."

Second, look at the places the old banyan tree has passed through…”

Lu Yan pointed to the damaged cement road, "If we let people walk back like this, what's the point of having a road at all? Are we going to have to spend a lot of money to repair it in the future?"

"Ah, oh!" Pang Shi'an suddenly realized and jumped down from the tree.

Zhou Zhengqing looked at Pang Shi'an and shook his head helplessly. This guy probably put all his talent into physical fitness, and didn't have much brains!

Zhou Zhengqing turned on his bracelet and finished making the call. "I've called the base. Someone will come to take you back later."

"Alright, I've finished helping you form a contract with the third mutated beast. I'm leaving now."

Pang Shi'an grabbed him, "Go? Where are you going?"

"Get to work!" Lu Yan slapped his hand away. "I have to wipe out all the zombies in Qingcheng City within half a month!"

After Lu Yan finished speaking, he spread his wings and flew back to the RV.

Of course, he wasn't the one who did the work.

"Tsk! I'm only now realizing how powerful this old banyan tree is. In this huge neighborhood, there aren't a single zombie, not even a mosquito."

Looking down from the air, Lu Yan realized that Emerald Bay was unusually quiet. Apart from the crooked buildings that indicated it had once been inhabited, there was not a single living creature.

Whether zombies or humans, they were probably all drained dry by the old banyan tree and turned into its fertilizer.

"Dad, brother!"

The parrot saw them from afar and squawked excitedly, hopping and jumping on the railing.

"Woof!" (Dad!)

Lu Bao excitedly tilted his head back and shouted wildly.

Shen Rang, Xiao Li, and the siblings below the car all looked up at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan landed and led them into the car.
