Volume 1 Afterglow of Doom Chapter 12 Into the Mountain

The sky was hazy, and Yingzheng, who had been sitting in the van all night, rolled over. The morning air is exceptionally fresh, with the fragrance of earth, and you can't help but take a big breath.

It didn't take long for the fat man, who was sleeping heavily, to roll over and wake up, looking at the somewhat bright sky with some surprise.

"Brother, did you stay all night?" The fat man said with some concern.

"Well, I'm an E-class genetic, it's not a big problem not to sleep at night, let's pack up and eat something first, and then enter the mountain when the fog clears."

With that, the two of them simply ate some compressed biscuits and checked the equipment on their bodies, especially firearms. After seven o'clock the fog cleared, leaving a wet jungle, and the two of them raised their feet and walked deeper into the forest.

According to the map, through this jungle to the outskirts of Zhucheng, if it goes well, it will take about a day, the two of them speed up their pace, and strive to reach Monkey Lake before tonight.

It is a natural lake in the middle of the jungle, marked on the map, and is called the Monkey Lake because of the presence of monkeys around it, and it is right on their path.

This unknown jungle really has a bit of a tropical rainforest, and the trees that have been transplanted have grown extremely tall due to genetic mutations, and there is a feeling of being hidden from the sky.

Ying Zheng knocked on the bark with his hand, which was as hard as iron, and made a dull "bang" sound. The ground is full of unknown plants and animals.

The longhorn beetle the size of a human head has a brilliant color on the carapace on its back. There are blue monocots, and the seemingly tiny rhizomes bear purple fruits, the size of a fist, and the charm is so enchanting that you can't help but want to take a bite.

Ying Zheng glanced back at the fat man rubbing behind him, he was curious about the brightly colored fruits.

Ying Zheng urged: "Go fast and fat, the brighter the color, the higher the danger." The fat man reluctantly quickened his pace.

After a moment, the two stopped.

"Brother, why don't you leave." The fat man was a little puzzled, just now it was obviously Ying Zheng urging himself to go faster.

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Didn't you hear anything, fat man." It seems to be a cry for help. ”

After hearing this, the fat man smiled and said, "Where does this bird not poop come from?" Brother, I really didn't hear it. ”

Ying Zheng nodded, he touched his chin with his hand, thought for a moment, and changed his original course.

"Go this way." After speaking, Ying Zheng set off, which was the direction from which the voice came.

It wasn't long before the two stopped in front of a large tree, from which a cry for help came from. At this time, the fat man also heard the sound of babbling.

"Brother, is this a cry for help?" The fat man was a little puzzled, although there was indeed a voice, but it was not a cry for help.

Ying Zheng nodded, although it was a babbling sound from the big tree, but he didn't know why he thought it was a cry for help. The two of them circled around the tree, and soon discovered the source of the sound.

It was a small monkey entwined in tree roots, about the height of a human calf, brown all over, with a red butt. It seemed to be entangled in the roots of the tree and couldn't get out, so it let out a cry for help.

Even the fat man could see it, "It's really a cry for help, brother, you are really a god." Let me save it. After saying that, the fat man picked up the knife and put it on.

Ying Zheng stopped him with his hand and said, "Wait, something is wrong. ”

The fat man had no choice but to stop, not questioning why. Ying Zheng and the fat man slowly took a few steps back, and the surrounding area of the big tree was very empty, and there were no large animals and plants. The trees bear small green fruits, which are fragrant and look very healthy.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment, and his spiritual instincts told him that the tree was in danger. He stepped on the soft rotten leaves under his feet, and Ying Zheng slowly brushed the rotten leaves away with his feet.

Hidden under the deep rotting leaves are roots and bones.

Ying Zheng hurriedly pulled the fat man back, and in the next second, a brown whip-like object attacked Ying Zheng's face door at a rapid speed.

Ying Zheng quickly pulled out the [Silver Sparrow] and slashed it, and the whip-like object was directly cut in two. The section that had been cut out of it lost its vitality after a few twitches on the ground, and green juice flowed out, while the section connected to the source slowly retracted, hidden in the layer of rotten leaves.

The two quickly retreated out of the range of the whip-like object. At this time, the fat man reacted and hurriedly drew his knife to defend.

"Brother, what did you say was that?" The fat man asked, a little shocked.

Ying Zhengze made a preliminary judgment, "It should be some kind of vine plant, a parasite of that big tree, strictly speaking collaborators." Large trees rely on green fruits to attract animals, and the fruits should be very toxic or narcotic. The function of vine plants is to wait for the attracted animal to be put into a pulp after the fruit is put into it, which is also conducive to the absorption of nutrients by the tree, without waiting for the food to rot. ”

Ying Zheng slowly lifted the lifeless brown vineman on the ground, the vine man's skin was relatively tough and had spikes attached.

"This vine is brown in order to better cooperate with the big tree, the brown vine is hidden in the rotten leaf layer is really difficult to find, and the fallen leaves of the big tree cover the animal carcass, it is really a perfect hunt." Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh that nature is strange but also extremely dangerous.

"Brother, what should we do now, why don't we go first?" Hearing this, the fat man retreated.

"I was worried that I couldn't find the gene crystals of the vines, and now it's just time to send them to my door. And you don't want to save that cute little monkey anymore? Ying Zheng quipped.

The fat man was a little embarrassed and said, "Then what should we do?" ”

"The best way to deal with plants is to set them on fire, and we don't have to worry about burning down the entire forest, because the plants here are much smarter than we think."

After saying that, Ying Zheng took out a lighter and a small bottle of military ignition oil from his backpack. Seeing that Ying was sprinkling oil near the little monkey, the fat man couldn't help but remind: "Brother, you will burn the little monkey like that." ”

"I know, you'll see later." Ying Zheng bought a pass and did not say why he did it.

After sprinkling oil not far from the little monkey, Ying Zheng took a lighter and lit it. With the help of ignition oil, the rotten leaf layer, which was not easy to catch fire, began to be slowly ignited, and the fire spread outward although it was small but very firm.

Because it's a rotten leaf, it's a smokeless fire, so it won't attract the attention of other beasts, but it's still a quick one.

The fire soon spread, and the vine man hidden in the rotten leaf layer couldn't stand it anymore. They slowly withdrew from the rotting leaves and writhed in the fire, like snakes. Some of the fire oil was sprinkled on Fujiman, and it seemed to find an attachment point, spreading on Fujiman's body, slowly but surely expanding the fire as Fujiman twisted.

Soon, the fire cleared an open space, and the vine man in the area would not have been able to move to a place where there was no fire if it was not burned black, but the fire was getting closer and closer to the little monkey.

The little monkey seemed to sense the approach of the fire, and struggled harder. Seeing this, Ying Zheng quickly ran into the fire, casually cut off a few crumbling vines that were burned by the fire, and quickly used a knife to cut the vines and roots wrapped around the little monkey's body, and came back safely.

Because the little monkey was close to the fire, if the nearby Fujiman was either burned to death or forced to move, Yingzheng could easily save it.

When he saw this fat man, he understood: "Smart brother, no wonder you don't light a fire from a place far away from the little monkey." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and gave the little monkey to the fat man, the little monkey seemed to be a little exhausted, his body was a little scorched, and it was not a big problem, and now he was staring at Ying Zheng who saved himself with his little eyes, quiet and cute.

Ying Zheng glanced at it and turned back. The fat man immediately became anxious when he saw it, "Brother, what are you going to do?" ”

Win Zheng said in the fire: "I want the genetic crystallization of this vine plant, you don't need it, just stay there." ”

The fat man hurriedly put down the little monkey, raised the knife and slashed Fujiman with Yingzheng.

"You and me, don't be so polite." After speaking, the two of them advanced along the fire, mended all the vines that were not burned, and finally cleaned up the vinemen without shedding a drop of blood.

After walking around, no Fujiman came out to attack him, and Ying Zheng knew that all Fujiman had been cleared. Ying Zheng slowly walked to the root of the tree, carefully brushed away the rotten leaves at the root with a knife, and soon saw a green object wrapped around the trunk of the tree.

There is a high probability that this kind of plant with obvious life activity will have genetic crystallization, Win is slowly using a knife to cut the object wrapped around the trunk of the big tree, which is like flesh and blood, but green, with the extension of the vine man, the color of the vine man gradually changed from green to brown, and it is really gradually adapting to natural survival.

Soon, Ying Zheng found the green E-class gene crystal, which is presumably a little bit mixed with snake genes, which is about the same level as the green armor lizard, and it is not a big problem.

"This vine man sucks flesh and blood, and it's brown, so let's name you Brown Blood Vine." Win positive YY to.

Ying Zheng wiped the crystals clean and slowly put it in his mouth. Although the gene crystals are hard, they melt in the mouth, and they should have some chemical reaction with saliva.

After taking it, Ying Zheng didn't feel anything abnormal in his body, and this genetic modification was not a matter of a while, and after the two of them simply cleaned up, they took the little monkey and headed for the depths of the jungle.
