Chapter 88: This Night
The people in Jinhua Stadium were on guard at all times with the highest vigilance, but nothing unusual happened to the zombie circle, as if the blood-colored giant tree was just an ornamental plant.
Many members of the patrol team had a lot of discussions about the blood-colored giant tree that was visible to the naked eye, and everyone had all kinds of conjectures about it.
"Am I nervous?" Su Ze said in his heart, he is now standing on the sentry post on the periphery of the stadium, striving to lead the defense as soon as possible if an accident occurs.
"What about the drone exploration?" Su Ze picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Long Shan.
"I'm approaching the zombie circle, and I will soon be able to reach the inside of the zombie circle." Yongshan replied.
Su Ze hurried to the operational command center in Yongsan.
There are several staff members here who are monitoring the results of the drone in real time.
"After the experience of our last failure, this time we sent five drones to reconnoiter together at the same time, from different angles and heights. Boss Su, this is also thanks to the batch of electronic components you sent someone to find, which has helped a lot, and has greatly improved the controllable range. Yongshan explained to Su Ze.
Su Ze nodded and asked:
"How long will it take to get inside the zombie circle?"
"It's very close, about a minute or so. This time, all the drones we sent out were remotely controlled directly inside the base, so it will take a little longer. ”
Su Ze looked at the big screens, and he had a hunch that he was likely to see some very unexpected scenes.
"Strange, this location should have reached the range of the zombie circle before." A technician said.
"It's the same on my side, the area where there used to be a lot of zombies is now empty." Another technician said.
A technician's eyes widened as he looked at the screen in front of him.
"Request to enlarge the picture of drone five, repeat, request to enlarge the picture of drone five."
"Do as he says." Yongshan Road.
A new image suddenly appeared on the largest screen, which looked very high in the air, and the entire blood-colored giant tree could be seen on the screen.
"This is?!" Su Ze's eyes widened as he directly saw the full range of the zombie circle.
The original periphery of the zombie circle was the place he took people to last time, that is, the intersection where everyone was surrounded by zombies, but from the perspective of high altitude, the scope of the zombie circle has been greatly reduced, and even its current periphery is far away from that intersection.
Now, what happened seems to be very clear, this blood-colored giant tree may have somehow absorbed a large part of this million zombie group, and even now this zombie group doesn't know if there are millions of them!
As drone five approached, they gradually saw the location of the branch at the top of the blood-colored giant tree.
The appearance of the blood-colored giant tree, from a distance, looked like an ordinary tree, with lush branches and vigorous growth, except that the color tone of the whole body was red, there was nothing special.
But as the drone camera approached, they finally saw the true appearance of the leaves on the branches.
"That's a zombie !!" Inside the combat command center, someone screamed.
No matter how bizarre the imagination of this scene is, no matter how bizarre the imagination is, he will never be able to imagine one ten-thousandth of the horror contained in this picture.
A giant blood-colored tree towering between heaven and earth, the leaves growing on its branches turned out to be zombies!
These zombies are like lifeless, hanging on the branches one by one, hanging like that, densely covering most of the field of vision captured by the drone camera, this scene, anyone who sees it will only feel numb scalp.
"How do these zombies grow on such tall branches, how do they fall to the ground? Are they able to fly? Su Ze frowned, this is not good news, if it is those zombies in the past, even if there are many of them, they can still use the advantages of walls or terrain to defend under siege.
But if zombies are able to fly, they can even hit the interior of the stadium base directly from the sky! You must know that Jinhua Stadium is semi-open-air!
"Number One and Number Two have arrived inside the zombie circle! Request to zoom in. ”
"Agreed."
The two pictures then appeared on the huge screen, one up and one down, showing the scene inside the zombie circle from two angles.
"It doesn't seem like anything special at the moment."
The picture in front of me corresponds to the middle and two sides of the blood tree, except for the red eyes like blood, everything else is similar to an ordinary tree, and even a closer look can see the texture of the giant tree like the bark.
Wait a minute? Texture?!
"Get the drone closer again!" Su Ze said suddenly.
The camera gradually pulled in, and this time everyone finally saw clearly, the crumpled marks on the bark turned out to be the bodies of zombies! Looking closely, some of the zombies' mouths seem to be moving, and everyone who is familiar with zombies can almost hear their never-ending roars in this picture.
In this case, I'm afraid this tree is a tree of flesh and blood formed by the accumulation of the bodies of countless zombies!
Seeing this scene, many technicians in the combat command center couldn't help but turn pale, which was far beyond the scientific common sense they had always believed in, what kind of existence was a giant tree made of the flesh and blood of millions of zombies...
Even Su Ze was silent.
"The No. 3 and No. 4 drones have arrived to transmit the picture."
This time it was the image of the roots of the Blood Tree, and at the foot of its incomparably thick trunk, there were intertwined tendrils, and its roots did not seem to take root deep into the ground like ordinary plants, but extended far in all directions.
The ends of those roots, inserted into the dense horde of zombies, seemed to be sucking nutrients from them.
The giant zombies that could once be seen in this location, as well as mutated zombies such as scavengers, are now completely out of sight!
Only an endless stream of ordinary zombies stood around the Blood Tree, like a group of followers of a mysterious religion sacrificing their religious relics, day and night, tirelessly.
Su Ze thought about it for a long time, and suddenly said to Long Shan:
"Staff Officer Long, the defense of the base will be handed over to you, and I will directly lead people to the inside of the zombie circle!"
Long Shan was stunned, indeed, no matter how terrifying this blood tree was, as long as its roots were destroyed, I am afraid it would only collapse like an ordinary tree.
It's just that he understands what Su Ze means by this, his family is living in Jinhua Stadium, and now he entrusts them all to himself, and what he wants to go to is inside the zombie circle after all, although there is nothing special from the picture, but who knows what kind of resistance he will encounter if he really goes there?
That's the inside of the zombie circle, where the real heart of the zombie lies!
。。。。。。
"Inside the zombie circle?!" Hearing Su Ze's words, everyone was shocked, it was the real Longtan Tiger's Den.
Especially Liang Yin, he never wanted his good brother to be in danger, but he understood that Su Ze's decision was not so easy to change.
He thought for a moment before saying, "If you must go, then you must go now, at least wait until dawn, have you ever thought that in fact, we don't need to be tough with this blood-colored giant tree?" ”
"Oh?" Su Ze's eyes lit up.
"You see, I also have a gathering place in Wuyi, take 10,000 steps back and say, if we all move there, I'm afraid this blood tree won't be able to threaten us for a while, right?" Liang drink is good and seductive.
To put it bluntly, he was worried about Su Ze's safety, what if he couldn't come back if he went? So he also hollowed out his mind.
"Now we make preparations with two hands, first, first, you are also responsible for the defense here, this blood-colored giant tree has just formed, it is likely that there will be no big moves, second, let's let everyone prepare to move, if there is really a large number of zombies pressing the realm, threatening our safety, then just withdraw as soon as possible."
"And don't we have drones to monitor the movement of the zombie circle?"
"Indeed, you have a point. Then wait until tomorrow to see how it goes! Su Ze said.
For a while, news of the family's relocation spread inside the stadium base, and the people living here began to pack their belongings, but there was no disturbance.
That's just because they saw that Su Ze himself was standing on the sentry and was in charge of the garrison of this base, which was like a needle in their hearts!
The long night was finally over.
It's dawn.
Su Ze hadn't slept all night, with his current level of mental power, it didn't cause him any discomfort, and now he really needed very little sleep.
The blood-colored giant tree was also completely exposed to everyone's field of vision, and almost everyone could see the giant tree as long as they raised their heads, and in the daytime, it even seemed even more strange and beautiful in the sunlight.
Su Ze, who only knew the true face of the Scarlet Giant Tree, didn't think that thing was good-looking at all, he only knew that it was probably the biggest threat he had encountered since the end of the world!
"Boss Su, your mother has brought you food!" A soldier in charge of the sentry next to him reported.
Su Ze was stunned, is it noon so soon? He hurried down to find his mother.
"Son, is something big going to happen this time?" Su Mu glanced at the giant tree in the distance and said worriedly.
"Mom, it's okay, what's the matter with just a tree?" Su Ze smiled.
Su Mu said in her heart, how can it be okay? Her precious son had been standing here all night and half a day, and everyone in the base had packed up their things and was ready to leave.
However, in order not to worry her son, she also smiled and said:
"It's okay, you have to eat all the dishes, I'm here to watch you eat."
"Okay, Mom."
Su Ze's heart suddenly moved, since it was already noon, his skill "Item Upgrade" should have cooled down.
