Chapter 1177: Encounter Halfway
The news from the northwest was slower because of the distance, and Wu Chengyue had just known that Sikong Chen had led people to retreat. Lin Qiao was already halfway back with his troops.
A lightly modified convoy was still moving at high speed on the road, except for the last one with a large mushroom growing on its roof. The wind is blowing, but it is still standing firmly on the top.
"Whoa~~" In Lin Qiao's car, a half-sized tiger fluttered on the side of the window, roaring a few times at the outside.
Lin Qiao sat on the co-pilot and turned his head back and said to it: "Can you be quiet? Let you go out and run for a long time, you are not tired, I am still tired!"
The little tiger is not slow to run, but it is still too small to have enough staying power. Let it go down and run behind the convoy, and it will only run for half an hour at most before it falls down. The mushroom also liked to run, but after a few hours of running, it jumped on the roof of the car on its own and refused to move.
Only Er Wang and Da Hei were leisurely following in the woods on the side of the road, because they had a sixth-level physical fitness on their bodies that were fine for a few days and nights, and the speed of the car was not very fast. It's like jogging for them.
Actually, the mushroom is the same, but it seems to be bored and doesn't want to run......
"Woo!" was said by Lin Qiao, and the little tiger turned around and yelled at her. Then he got on his stomach and flicked his tail left and right.
"When did you say that Lan Lu would bring you that eighth-level energy core?" Duan Juan asked her as she looked at the road ahead while driving.
"It shouldn't be long, haven't you noticed? After the second outbreak of the virus, the strength of those mutant beasts and mutant plants has increased, and the rapid upgrade has also become faster. Otherwise, where would we be able to see the scene where two level 8 mutant beasts appear together? Now the frequency of level 6 and level 7 is already a lot. Lin Qiao looked out the car window and said lightly.
"It seems to be. Duan Juan thought about it and found that it seemed to be the same.
"However, the level of the human adepts has slowed down, and the zombies have sped up. Lin Qiao continued, and suddenly she looked at the road in front of her and said, "Stop." ”
"Squeak-" Duan Juan braked suddenly, stared at the front suspiciously, and turned her head to look at her again: "What's wrong?"
"Woo-woo-" At this moment, the little tiger behind suddenly let out a low warning sound.
Duan Juan looked in the rearview mirror and saw that it began to shrink, hunched its back and limbs under its body, and its tail curled under its belly. With cracked teeth, the two small round ears on his head were pressed down, and his eyes looked a little panicked as if he had seen something terrible.
"There's something ahead. Lin Qiao opened the car door with a serious expression and went down, stood next to the car and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.
They were originally on a highway, with mountains on both sides, and there were no towns or anything nearby, so they were a little deserted.
Lin Qiao felt a familiar and uneasy aura looming, and he was gradually approaching them.
But she couldn't feel the source of the breath.
She sniffed her surroundings with her nose, and nothing out of the ordinary was there. But she could still feel something approaching.
"What is it?" Duan Juan also got out of the car, walked up to her and looked around carefully.
Lin Qiao raised his hand and directly put the little tiger side into the space with the car, and then shouted to the people behind: "Pay attention!"
After everyone also got out of the car, Lin Qiao put several cars into the space in turn, leaving only people outside.
After hearing Lin Qiao's shout, everyone immediately gathered their attention and looked around vigilantly.
At that moment, the ground of the road began to tremble slightly.
"Underground ......" Li Kui looked down at the ground and said loudly.
Everyone had already felt the vibration coming from underground, from underground, not from the ground.
Lin Qiao frowned, and suddenly a trace of a not very good feeling flashed in his heart.
"Be careful, what's down there might be the same type as those multi-eyed monsters!" she reminded the group, and then jumped to the top of a tall mutant tree in the woods not far away. Stand tall, ready to wait for something beneath the ground to appear.
When everyone saw her move like this, they also followed suit and found some tall trees and jumped up.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the ground of the road began to shake violently, and then cracks began to appear on the road surface. Moreover, the crack was slowly opening wider and bigger, and a dangerous and disgusting aura poured out of the crack with a thick black gas.
"What's that?" Shui Mingjun asked with a frown.
The ink face standing on the branch on the other side of the same trunk as him said expressionlessly: "I don't know, I guess it's not a good thing." The smell is disgusting!"
As she spoke, she frowned and moved her nose, and finally couldn't help but pinch it with her hand.
Looking at the others, all the zombies covered their noses with their hands.
Shui Mingjun sniffed strangely, and then said, "Why do you all seem to smell a very bad smell, why can't I smell it?"
Mo glanced at him and said in a nasal voice, "Because you're not a zombie, do you want to try to be like us?"
Shui Mingjun shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, no need." ”
Lin Qiao also covered her nose, it was a strange smell that was very harsh to her. It smells bad, it's very irritating to their nose, and it's disgusting!
"Wangwang!" Erwang was also jumping left and right on the side !!of the highway at this time, shouting at the cracks.
Only the mushroom spirit and the big black snake slipped into the forest and disappeared, and I don't know where they went. Obviously, they didn't dare to stay longer because they felt that it was too dangerous for them to deal with it.
"Could it be the kind of thing you saw before?" Duan Juan stood on the same tree as Lin Qiao, but the position was a little shorter than Lin Qiao. She asked, crouching down at the branch and looking down at the situation on the other side of the road.
Lin Qiao shook his head, staring at the cracks on the road with a little more vigilance in his eyes and said, "No, the breath is different." And the energy in this black gas is also different, not like it is of the same species. ”
The ground was still shaking, and the cracks were getting bigger. The black gas pouring out of the ground began to spread out in all directions.
Lin Qiao carefully stared at the grass and trees that the black qi came into contact with, and sure enough, there was a situation like what she had seen on the side of the multi-eyed monster.
The grass and trees instantly lost their vitality and withered, but the surrounding area did not turn into pitch black like the area of the multi-eyed monster.
But...... It's a twilight. After the grass and trees withered, they all turned into yellow sand and dust scattered in an instant.
The air quality in this area dropped dramatically.
