The ground seemed to have been stretched, the area expanded, and the railway tracks had snapped, so they could no longer connect.

The two of them were suspicious—could the original land really stretch and become even larger than before?

“It must have been an earthquake, right?” Henry Clark said.

However, they hadn’t felt any tremors earlier. The situation was extremely bizarre and alarming; now, nothing made sense.

The two of them felt a chill, completely at a loss.

They kept moving forward, and before long, they heard the sound of the railway tracks snapping with their own ears and witnessed the scene: the ground seemed to be stretching, expanding outward.

Henry Clark was dumbfounded, his mouth wide open, unable to utter a word.

“It’s haunted!” he finally shouted.

“Hurry, this area is unstable!” William Carter said, starting to speed up.

Although Henry Clark was chubby, it had been clear since he climbed the train that he actually had good stamina. Even though he was panting as he ran, he didn’t complain about being tired.

“Hmm, is there no way forward?”

Ahead of the tracks, a huge mountain blocked their path.

The strangest thing was that the tracks led right up to the mountain, as if the mountain had pressed down on them. Looking closely, that was indeed the case—if you dug through the dirt and rocks, you could see the buried sections.

Not just Fat Henry, even William Carter was stunned, completely dumbfounded. What was going on? How did a mountain suddenly appear here, pressing down on everything?

“Are you sure there’s a town ahead?” William Carter asked.

“I’m sure!” Henry Clark replied, swearing that he had never seen this mountain before. It seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, pressing down right here.

“There’s no other way. Let’s climb over it. I don’t believe we’ll end up in some unknown world!” Henry Clark said.

“No, let’s go around. It’s not that far!” William Carter stopped him.

Henry Clark was a bit unwilling; he really wanted to find out where this mountain had come from. How could it just appear out of thin air?

“Roar!”

A thunderous roar shook the forest, coming from that imposing mountain. Clearly, there was a terrifying beast!

“How is that possible? That beast’s roar is shocking, but there shouldn’t be any large beasts in this area. Where did it come from?” Henry Clark was shaken.

William Carter pointed at the mountain, and Fat Henry immediately gave up on the idea of climbing over and obediently started to go around.

During this process, they heard several more terrifying beastly roars, and soon after, they heard the screams of people.

“Someone’s climbing the mountain!” Henry Clark’s face turned pale, grateful they hadn’t taken that route.

In the end, the two of them successfully went around the mountain and continued along the railway, hoping to reach the town.

At the same time, they grew more and more uneasy along the way—the gaps in the railway were getting wider, and the ground seemed to be growing even more vast.

What was originally a journey of a dozen li felt like they had walked more than twenty li by the end.

Luckily, they made it safely to the small town.

At this moment, the mist finally cleared, but sunlight still didn’t shine down—it was blocked.

“There really is a giant!” William Carter’s expression changed. Up in the sky, thick vines hung down, all of them massive, with lush leaves.

They blotted out the sky, stretching across the heavens.

It didn’t look like they grew from the ground, but as if they were born from the sky itself, like something out of a myth.

A giant vine covered the sky, shading this entire area.

When the mist cleared, the people in the small town saw this scene too, and panic erupted.

“Run, we have to get out of here now!” Henry Clark shouted.

In fact, many people were already fleeing. Car after car started up, heading for the distance.

“No, we have to flag down a car quickly, while the roads are still open. Otherwise, we’ll be trapped here for sure,” William Carter said.

“What’s the point of flagging one down? Let’s just take one!” Henry Clark shouted.

In the end, they managed to flag down a car. A middle-aged uncle gave them a ride, and together they escaped the city, heading far away.

After the fog cleared, their communicators actually started working again—they could contact the outside world.

William Carter immediately turned his on to check for any shocking news.

“Oh my god, Mount Song, Wangwu Mountain, Luofu Mountain, and other famous peaks are all showing strange phenomena—even the rocks are flowing with purple mist.”

Fat Henry cried out in surprise, having found this report. In just one night, so many major events had happened in the outside world!

“Huh, someone found an ordinary little tree by the roadside, with silver fruit. After eating one, he… actually grew a pair of silver wings?!” Henry Clark was stunned after reading this.

The world was undergoing drastic changes—this was William Carter’s most direct feeling after reading some of the reports!

Chapter 0011: Home

Henry Clark had a strange look on his face, seeming a bit conflicted and shy. He nudged William Carter and whispered, “Do you think that person who grew a pair of silver wings could really soar through the sky?”

“It’s possible.” William Carter nodded, then found it a bit funny and said, “It’s not like you grew wings. Why are you acting so shy?”

“Don’t I also have a bright red fruit?” Fat Henry said cautiously, opening his backpack. The plant he had dug up earlier was still there, wrapped in a transparent bag to keep the fragrance from spreading.

On that plant, there was a bright red fruit, as big as a fist, crystal clear like red agate. As soon as he opened the bag a little, a rich fragrance immediately wafted out.
