"Where are we going, Sister Nan?"
"I'm searching for something…"
"What does it look like?"
"I forgot… but it's a plant." Nanzhi didn't know its exact appearance and couldn't give a clear description.
As they neared the river, Baoyin could only see dead trees and debris, overturned boats and cars, broken furniture, and remnants of houses half-buried on the earth. The ground was uneven and treacherous. Could they really find the plant here?
The sound of flowing water reached their ears.
"I found it." Nanzhi handed Little Snowball to Baoyin. She kept her mental exploration active, carefully scanning for threats before moving closer.
"Chi Chi!"
Baoyin spotted shards of broken glass from windows and car doors. "Be careful! Watch your step, Sister Nan!" Seeing the river reminded her of the resort where they had encountered the enormous carps, and worry tightened in her chest.
