Officer Zhao assembled the black ladder explosives and pressed the uneasiness in his heart. Standing in front of the crown of purple roots, he could clearly sense an uncomfortable smell in the air.

It's like corruption, but there's a weird fragrance in it. It's like two extremely different smells, fused together. Other than that, the roots seem to be trembling slightly, like a beating pulse.

The tree is alive, there is no doubt about it.

He took a deep breath, installed the black ladder explosives on the pre-planned structural point, and then quietly waited for the Li Bureau to give the order to set the explosion time.

After a total of twelve black ladder explosives were arranged, Li Ju lit up the watch on his wrist and said in a deep voice: "At the right time, 3:15:33 in the morning." ”

"Set the time......" He pondered for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and said, "23:45." ”

"23:45?" Officer Zhao was slightly stunned, it seemed that there were some changes in the plan, and it was originally scheduled to be detonated at this time the day after tomorrow. For two days, the surrounding civilians will be evacuated on the grounds of a gas leak.

Just when he was wondering, a scream suddenly sounded in the hall, constantly echoing in this claustrophobic space, which was terrifying. Everyone was in a state of flux, looking for the source of the screams.

The soldiers on the perimeter guard, well-trained, rushed in, and the sound of pulling the safety was heard in unison.

"The third breaking point! Lao Qin!"

Someone shouted loudly, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to it, and then they saw a terrifying scene. Lao Qin, the person in charge of the third breaking point, only half of his body was rooted in the roots, and his legs were constantly struggling. Above the waist and abdomen, it was entangled and pulled by dense roots, and it fell into it at a very fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, only the calves were exposed.

The root crown is too large, and the people who installed the black ladder explosives are extremely scattered. From beginning to end, no one noticed how this all happened. But this weird and terrifying scene makes people's scalps tingle.

"Drag him out! quick, quick!"

Director Li's reaction was quite fast, and Liu Changlu, who was closest to him, hesitated for a moment before grabbing Lao Qin's legs. As soon as Bu touched, he trembled like an electric shock, his face was distorted with horror, and his mouth was like a fish starved of water, gurgling and spitting bubbles and making uh-uh sounds.

"Don't use your hands!

The colleagues who rushed over were in a hurry, took off their clothes, covered Liu Changlu's head, and tried to stop the sagging. But he soon discovered that his strength was insignificant, and that powerful suction was like a child tug-of-war with a tank.

In the blink of an eye, Lao Qin's calf was submerged in it, and then Liu Changlu was there. Hundreds of tiny roots, like the dancing gastropods of a centipede, devoured Liu Changlu's head.

This made him furious from the bottom of his heart, and his scalp was about to explode. Fortunately, the soldiers who reacted quickly arrived, took out ropes, tied him and Liu Changlu, kicked the ground with both feet, and pulled back desperately.

Hundreds of young and strong warriors exerted their strength together, although the trend of sinking slowed down. But the strong pulling force caused the rope to dig deep into the skin, and it didn't take long for him to be strangled to death.

The sudden accident made Director Li a little panicked, and a layer of sweat appeared on his head, he hesitated for a moment, and shouted: "Shoot, shoot! Knock off the roots, knock them out!"

The hall immediately reverberated with the sound of bullets, and the wildly dancing roots were quickly opened a gap, and soon the surrounding roots spread over and refilled the gap.

Immediately afterward, all the roots woke up and began to slowly wriggle and stretch. Tens of thousands of tentacles, like crazy demons dancing wildly, like thousands of poisonous snakes crowded together, building a long hill.

The crowd became even more frightened, and they fully felt the strange and evil force gradually awakening. If in the past, when they dealt with incidents, they were like controlling well-trained horses, galloping on a rugged mountain road. So now, they're completely on a bunch of uncontrollable crazy horses, powerless to control the situation, just swinging around on rickety horses and doing some pathetic effort.

Fear crept in.

A strong man has a broken wrist and can only make sacrifices. Li Ju had obviously experienced a big scene, and compared to the unbearable consequence of the annihilation of the whole army, he immediately decided: "Stop the action and retreat immediately." Retreat now!"

Burst......

The knots of strength snapped in response, and the warriors who had exerted their strength fell out like dominoes, and there were constant wailing screams. Half of the flesh and blood blurred body rolled to the ground, and the torn tentacles rolled twice, and actually burrowed into the flesh like a leech.

The half of the body swelled rapidly, and the flesh was full of shocking purple, and then pierced the flesh, growing tentacles one by one.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" grenades, fire grenades!"

The rest of the men fled, and after pulling away, they fired grenades at the canopy of roots like crazy.

An explosion echoed through the hall, and firelight, gunsmoke, stumps, and roots flew all over the sky. A powerful echo that punctures the eardrum and makes everyone deaf instantly.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

The scene got out of control, and Li Ju suddenly had a spirit, if the explosion spread to the black ladder explosives placed on the explosion point. In the event of an explosion, all of them will be turned into meat sauce.

He grabbed the soldiers' arms like crazy, stopping them from bombarding them in a terrified way. The sound of the explosion slowed down, and Li Ju took the lead in retreating, leaving the hall in a cloud of gunsmoke.

Until the elevator went up, everyone was still shocked. Even those special fighters who are one in a hundred can't help but tremble.

Director Li said sharply: "Immediately lock off this place, report the gas leak to the superiors, and evacuate the surrounding civilians!" 24 hours before the detonation time is too short for now. He wanted to detonate the explosives immediately, raze the place to the ground, and bury the roots of those horrors.

On the cold morning of the first month, a faint gray sun hung in the sky in the east, as if it had also reached the end of its twilight years, and had lost its infinite heat of pride.

In the early morning, shopping malls, banks, restaurants, and businesses are still lit up with decorations such as congratulating and happy new year. Everything seemed so peaceful, calm and somewhat desolate.

People who are asleep may still be dreaming. They won't know that just under his feet, a nightmare is being bred. Chang'an City, which has been prosperous for thousands of years, will usher in a drastic change.

Chang'an City, Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

At the highest point on the top floor, Lu Zheng stood with his hands in his hands, admiring the lotus caisson at the top of the tower. The predecessors of the Buddha in the West praised the Tang monks to learn the scriptures and had to travel, a fourteen-word comic poem. On the wall is the legend of the monk burying the swallow and building the tower recorded in the records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty of Xuanzang.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda can be regarded as a landmark building in Chang'an City. Standing here, you can see the ancient city in all directions. But Lu Zheng's expression was very solemn.

Hua Xiangrong told him everything about the Divine Tree, and also told him the worst truth.

The sacred tree is completely corrupted, and it is too late. (To be continued.) )
