Groot stretched out his branch arms, trying to wrap them around the few people who had yet to evacuate the rooftop.
But the next second, the entire building split down the middle.
Blue-white light erupted from inside it.
Groot's arms froze in midair.
Rocket grabbed him.

Rocket's eyes reddened for a moment. He immediately turned away and kept swearing.

Chen Mo braced both feet
