Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444: 247 Side by Side (Third Update)

The changes in the fissure weighed heavily on both of their hearts. Now, it would be even more difficult for them to rendezvous with the others. They just didn’t know how much time had passed.

The persistent tree roots were like running into a hail of bullets! Fang Yuxin squinted her eyes, and then a heavy machine gun appeared in her hand. With the magazine attached, she aimed the gun and pulled the trigger, bullets bursting out like a downpour. The roots never saw it coming and were blown apart before they could even react.

The remainder of their bodies limply collapsed on the ground, motionlessly playing dead. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

Bai Ye gripped his sword handle tightly, ignoring the tree roots feigning death on the ground. Pulling Fang Yuxin along, he said, "Let’s get out of here fast, and leave this place!"

Fang Yuxin nodded, walking alongside Bai Ye, matching his pace. They followed the edge of the fissure for a while, and then Bai Ye stopped. He looked at the endless fissure ahead and said to Fang Yuxin, "We can’t go on like this, the crack is too big. We don’t know how far we have to walk to reach the end, we must find another way."

Fang Yuxin’s face was very gloomy. She was aware of the problems Bai Ye raised, but the thought of not being able to quickly reunite with her family made it impossible for her to calm down.

"Then what do you suggest?" she asked, struggling to suppress her anger, eyes fixed on the fissure ahead, full of regret for not having taken the risk to jump over it earlier.

Bai Ye guessed her thoughts and couldn’t help but advise, "It’s already happened, stop thinking about it. It was too dangerous back then. If you really had jumped, you might not have seen your family, and you could have even fallen into the fissure!" He hesitated for a moment, then patted Fang Yuxin on the shoulder, "Yuxin, don’t worry. They’ll be okay; you should trust them."

Fang Yuxin let out a long breath, taking out her tablet and checking the map. She had cast a small spell on the computer to seal the battery life, ensuring no power would be drained as long as the device was not in use.

They picked a direction and walked side by side. They were attacked several times along the way, but this time they showed no mercy, killing all the Mutant Plants that attacked them, gaining several Crystal Cores. The Crystal Cores of the Mutant Plants were different from those of the zombies; they were of the Wood Element and purer.

Bai Ye thought of Fang Yuxin, who was exactly the Wood Element and didn’t really want the cores, so he let her take them all. Fang Yuxin, however, didn’t want to take advantage of Bai Ye’s kindness. After taking the Crystal Cores, she gave him some purified Level 1 and Second-level Crystal Cores.

Bai Ye didn’t refuse but felt somewhat dejected after taking the Crystal Cores. He liked Fang Yuxin and had privately come to think of her as his wife. He felt the Crystal Cores were suitable for her use, and it was natural to give them to her. Yet, Fang Yuxin had intentionally split them with him, clearly marking a boundary between them.

He felt uncomfortable inside but didn’t dare confront Fang Yuxin. Instead, he vented all his anger on the Mutant Plants, and as a result, Fang Yuxin ended up with even more Crystal Cores.

They had left the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion at seven in the morning, and by the time they emerged from the forest, it was almost two in the afternoon.
