Chapter Forty-Eight: Re-enlistment
Although they suffered heavy casualties in the anthill this time, fortunately most of them are still alive. At this time, everyone who was still conscious couldn't help but have the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe on their faces.
But just a moment later, thinking about their current situation, worry immediately took over everyone's hearts once again.
The small canteen building where they were hiding had long since collapsed, leaving only the wreckage and no longer for them. And it is not easy for them to find a new place to stay through this dangerous mutant forest.
Although the battle in the anthill just now was fierce, only a few hours had passed.
At this time, the sun has begun to set in the west, and in the end of the world, which is full of mutated creatures, dark means double the danger.
The few people left in their team who were not injured were almost all of them fighting - Wei Qingqing with water ability, Xiaowen with only detection ability, and Guoguo who had no awakening at all.
With their strength, even if they can walk through the woods alive, they are already lucky, not to mention that in addition to An Cheng, who can barely walk, they also have to take care of three other people who are incapacitated.
"It's up to us next!" Guoguo was not intimidated by the difficulties, but was still a little eager to try, and rolled up her sleeves to hug Du Jiujiu, who collapsed on the ground.
"Hey! Do you have any common sense? Wei Qingqing was startled by her actions and hurriedly stopped her.
"They're injured like this, they can't be moved casually, let's find something to drag them in. Otherwise, we alone would not have the strength to carry them all the time. β
Although Guoguo was still a little unwilling, she had to admit that Wei Qingqing was indeed more thoughtful than she thought.
"But we don't have anything now." Xiaowen looked around, but didn't find any tools to take advantage of, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"This ...... Leave it to me......" There was a weakness in An Cheng's voice that couldn't be concealed. However, the current situation does not allow her to rest, and every minute is at stake.
An Cheng looked up at the big tree beside them, although it had grown to a huge size due to evolution, but it could be vaguely seen that it should have been a poplar tree.
The poplar tree has broad leaves and has evolved to be the size of a single bed. I think that the toughness of the blades will also increase a lot, and it is perfect for carrying a few unconscious people.
The only regret is that the tree is too tall, and even the lowest leaves are about seven or eight meters above the ground, so it is not easy to pick them.
An Cheng roughly estimated the height of the blades with his eyes, and then checked the weight of the weapon in his hand. At this time, it was in the form of a spear, and the head of the spear had been mostly corroded by the acidic body fluids of the queen ants, and the volume of the metal had been reduced considerably.
"Xiaowen, take a look...... The tree is not safe. β
Just in case, An Cheng first confirmed the situation of the big tree with Xiaowen. She simply didn't have the energy to fight unnecessarily anymore.
After receiving Xiaowen's affirmative answer, the silver light of An Cheng's ability began to spread on the surface of the metal spear. As the silver light lit up, the spear slowly turned into a thin wire, stretching out towards the lowest blade under An Cheng's control.
Originally, such a transformation process was only an instant matter for An Cheng. But now, she had little physical strength and energy left, and even the slightest movement made her face flush.
Fortunately, everything went well, just as she expected, the petioles of the three leaves were easily strangled by the wire and fell to the ground. The wide blades are just enough for a person to lie flat on them.
After placing the unconscious people, they were in trouble again about where to go next.
The closest to the cafeteria are the girls' dormitory and the boys' dormitory. However, they had killed Yao Meng and Wang Xiong before, maybe they would be hated by others, and if those villains fell into the ground, wouldn't they be sheep and tigers.
"It's better to ...... Let's go to the subway station outside the school gate as planned. Seeing the time passing bit by bit, Wei Qingqing was a little anxious.
"Looks like that's the only way to do it." An Cheng sighed, returned the wire into a scimitar, and walked at the front of the line.
At the beginning, the journey was relatively smooth, and under the detection of Xiaowen's mental power, they dodged several creatures with large energy fluctuations.
However, the mutated grass slowed their pace, and as the sunlight dimmed, the mutated creatures on the ground began to increase.
Left ...... Left front, and right front...... All have strong energy fluctuations. We...... Want to get around? When it was already very close to the school gate, Xiaowen's voice suddenly sounded.
"This ...... We'll be out soon, and if we don't get past here, we'll have to make a long detour......" Guoguo frowned a little embarrassed, she had been nervous all afternoon, and now she was tired and hungry. If you take a detour, you don't know when you will have to walk to the subway station.
"There's no way, now we can only choose to bypass." An Cheng gritted his teeth and reversed direction. She was well aware of the dangers that a detour might bring, but every cell in her body was a reminder that she couldn't fight any longer.
After walking for a long time, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon. A full moon slowly appeared in their field of vision.
The moonlight seemed to have been affected by the energy as well, not the pale yellow they had once been familiar with, but a blood-like crimson.
The blood-colored moonlight shrouded the trees, making everything even more eerie and terrifying.
Guoguo, the least daring, pulled the petiole of the poplar leaf with one hand, and tightly grasped Xiaowen's shirt with the other, and followed the rest of the team step by step, for fear of falling one step behind.
As he walked, An Cheng suddenly stopped, listened intently for a while, and then looked at Xiaowen with a frown.
"Didn't your psychic power notice anything unusual nearby?"
Xiaowen was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "There are no creatures within ten meters of here. β
In order to prolong the detection time, Xiaowen narrowed the detection range to ten meters, which could only ensure that they could detect the stronger beasts in time and avoid them in advance.
Hearing Xiaowen's words, An Cheng's brows furrowed even deeper: "Since just now, I have found that it is a little strange to be quiet here, how can there be no creatures in the woods?" β
Xiaowen realized that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly increased the detection range. In a few moments, cold sweat ran down her sideburns.
"Oh no, we're surrounded!"
