Chapter 116: A Blood-Sucking Tree

The next morning, as usual, I went out for morning exercises, and then for breakfast, but today I didn't do daily training, but I went out on a task. The military camp is not a charity, and it will definitely not raise these people in vain, so whether it is an elite team like Wang Xinxin and others, or ordinary soldiers, the frequency of missions is very high.

Wang Xinxin and the others basically send out tasks every week, and sometimes they even have to go out twice a week. That's because it takes a long time to do a task every time.,Like the early days of the apocalypse, the task that you can go back on the same day is now not seen at all.。

The reason for this situation is, on the one hand, because the places closer to the S base are basically looted, so if you want to have a rich receipt, you have to run farther, and those small harvest troops naturally can't look down on it, and it will be too much to collect and cover the expenses in the end.

On the other hand, the situation outside the base is getting worse and worse, and there will be casualties almost every time you go out on a mission, for no other reason, mainly because the evolution rate of mutants is always faster than that of humans, if it weren't for the fact that human IQ is much higher than that of mutants, you can use many other tools, it is estimated that if you continue to develop at this rate, human beings will have been wiped out long ago.

When I went out on a mission before, I was just some zombies, and occasionally I encountered some mutant animals. But gradually, the evolution of the plant was also completed, and although the mutated plant could not move at will, its combat effectiveness was absolutely not to be underestimated.

As if to punish humans, the existential threat to humans who were originally at the top of the food chain turned out to be all the food of the past, which has to be said to be a very ironic thing.

Because the living conditions of human beings are getting worse and worse, the barracks have become more careful when they go out on missions. Although it was already summer, the barracks truck they were sitting on was sealed, but the military truck they sat in the previous winter was ventilated everywhere in order to save costs. Such an experience of cold in winter and hot in summer is really painful.

But there is no way to do it, now these mutants have become more and more powerful, if this is still just wrapped in a broken canvas, I don't know how many people will die every time they go out. Even if the carriages are now welded into steel plates, the casualty rate is still very high.

However, although the safety of this has been improved, in this hot summer, sitting in a carriage sealed with steel plates, the key is that there is no air conditioning inside, and if you sit down all the way, even if you are safe and sound, you will not encounter a mutant mutant, and it is estimated that you will lose a lot of combat effectiveness due to heat stroke. So if it's like this, it's definitely not going to work.

Fortunately, although the air conditioner must not be turned on in order to save resources, it is still possible for the water to provide more water for the soldiers to quench their thirst, and the ice to provide some ice cubes to cool down in the carriage. So it's not hard to support this way.

Because the number of Adepts has increased a lot, the ratio of Adepts in each team doing a mission has also increased a lot. Before, there were three Adepts with twenty ordinary soldiers, but now it is possible for five Adepts to bring twenty ordinary soldiers.

Although theoretically speaking, this arrangement, everyone's security has improved a lot, but the mutants that can't stand it are becoming more and more powerful, if you encounter that kind of boss-level mutant, it is estimated that even if a whole team is a strange person, it will be difficult to play a role, and even the whole army is very likely to be wiped out.

Due to the rampant mutants in the outside world now, not long after leaving the base, the convoy in the barracks stopped. I don't care if it will attract more mutants because of the use of hot weapons, after all, staying outside for a longer period of time will greatly increase the risk of casualties, so in order to be able to reach the destination as soon as possible, the entire convoy is full of firepower and bombards against the zombie group that is surging in the wind, as well as the mutant animals that are concentrated in the mixture.

Fortunately, there were no particularly powerful mutants in it, and the barracks did not spare ammunition and attacked with heavy firepower, so it only took ten minutes to end this short battle. After quickly cleaning the battlefield and collecting the crystal nucleus, the convoy set off again.

In this battle, Wang Xinxin and the others didn't even make a move. Because after the end of the world, scientists have found that with the evolution of mutants, it is likely that soon guns and ammunition will have no effect on mutants, and the country has stored a large number of guns and ammunition in order to prepare for the end times.

It is precisely because of this that the base has not been too economical in the consumption of guns and ammunition in line with the principle of making the best use of materials. And in the early apocalypse, guns and ammunition are much more effective against mutants than abilities, especially when encountering a large number of mutants, and a strong attack with firepower is simply the only way to save your life.

But when it comes to dealing with more powerful mutants, the ability is more varied and targeted, so it's better than the ability.

In order to preserve the strength of the ability to deal with the more difficult mutants that may appear at any time, as in the previous situation, the ability usually does not need to take action, especially the high-level ability, which is also considered a good steel to be used on the blade.

I really don't know how many times there will be such a small battle along the way, so for the fight outside, Wang Xinxin didn't even look outside, and the situation was as usual, although the convoy stopped five or six times on the road, but each time it was quickly resolved.

However, when the fighting was over and the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield as usual, a mutation occurred.

At this time, the convoy has entered the national highway built by the country before the end of the world, because the road has not been maintained for a long time, the road surface is not very smooth, and there are some plants growing on both sides of the road, which are basically mutated.

However, the mutation speed of the plant is still very slow compared to other mutants, so the soldiers who are cleaning the battlefield do not care, and still concentrate on taking out the crystal nucleus in the head of the lost and mutant beasts, and dragging the corpses of the zombies to the side of the road so that the convoy can drive, and the corpses of the mutant beasts are handed over to the spatial abilities in the convoy to be loaded.

After all, this is also food, and now there is very little food, and it is a pity to waste it, but it must not be able to put it in the carriage. Both mutant beasts and zombies are very sensitive to the smell of blood, and if this is really still in the carriage, even if people can stand the smell of blood, but if they attract a large number of zombies, it will be really troublesome.

But when two or three soldiers dragged the corpse of the zombie to the grass by the roadside, the mutation trembled.

The originally quiet tree beside the road instantly sent out countless branches like these soldiers and swept away, because the incident happened so suddenly, completely defenseless, and the first two or three soldiers to be attacked were all killed.

Red lines flashed on the branches that were rolling the soldiers, and as the red lines continued to surge towards the branches of the trees, the few soldiers who were caught in them quickly lost weight.

The people around watched all this happen in amazement, and for a moment they forgot to hurry up to save people, and seeing that these soldiers were about to turn into dry corpses, everyone suddenly woke up and attacked the big tree.

I saw that the bullets took off for a while, and soon there were a lot of bullet holes on the trunk, but this did not work, and the soldiers were thrown out because they had no value after they were completely drained.

Seeing the tragic situation of their comrades in battle, the rest of the soldiers were frightened and became very angry in their hearts, and once again increased their firepower to attack this strange tree.

Fortunately, there were still people who kept calm, and seeing that the bullet attack had no effect on the big tree, they quickly avoided the attack range of the big tree, and turned back to report this new and thorny situation to the leader.

In fact, the military's convoy contains not only some smaller guns and ammunition, but also some weapons that are as powerful as mortars.

But this distance is generally not enough, and the road Chang after that does not know if there will be a more tricky situation, and the number of mortars they carry is not very large, so the military leaders do not want to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

Since ordinary ammunition can't work, and powerful ammunition needs to be spared, then in this case, you can only send the Stranger to give it a try.

Summoning most of the strangers in the convoy, the commander of the convoy gave a brief introduction to the current crisis situation, and let these supernaturals immediately start attacking.

Looking at the dried corpses scattered around the big tree, the expressions of the strangers became very serious, it seems that this big tree is almost on the verge of advancement, otherwise it should be enough to rejoice so many people and supplement so many nutrients, but looking at the branches of the big tree that has been swaying and actively looking for prey, it is obvious that it is not yet satisfied.

The amount of energy absorbed by a mutant is not infinite, just like the ability absorbs the ability in the crystal nucleus, not that the more it absorbs, the better. Often, once you absorb a dividing line, you want to absorb the energy contained in the crystal nucleus, but you can't absorb anything.

If you go forward and absorb more, although it will not be said to explode and die, because the ability has exceeded the capacity that the body can hold, it will definitely cause a certain amount of damage to the body.

Because it is actually still in the early stage of the end times, the level of both mutants and supernatural beings is not very high, and now all the mutant levels in the last days will definitely not need so much energy if they are normal cultivation.

But in just such a moment's effort, there are already nearly twenty soldiers planted under this tree, and so much energy, even for the cultivation of third-level mutants, is absolutely enough.

No matter how much it changes, it is impossible for the end of the world to appear more than a year after the end of the world will appear more than a level three, so looking at the way this tree still wants to eat, it will definitely not be other cases, it must be that they are very unlucky to rush in time when this tree is going to advance and needs a lot of energy.

After Wang Xinxin analyzed these, her heart settled down, before she saw this situation at first glance, she was also shocked in her heart, and thought that she had encountered some great boss, and she was even immune to ordinary guns and ammunition.

This is just the beginning of the end of the world, and there is such an anti-heaven existence, which almost scared her to death.

But if the tree was advancing, as she had guessed, it would be easy to explain. Whether it's a mutant or an ability when it advances, the whole body has a large influx of abilities, so the overall defense is still very high, and it is possible for cannonballs to penetrate this layer of defense, but it is absolutely impossible for ordinary guns and ammunition to do this.

Summoning most of the strangers in the convoy, the commander of the convoy gave a brief introduction to the current crisis situation, and let these supernaturals immediately start attacking.
