277 Wood Mantis

"Okay, I got it. Be vigilant. Ning Yi put down the walkie-talkie here.

Naturally, the people in the off-road vehicle also heard Nanxing's words, and they couldn't help but cheer up two hundred percent and began to guard the surroundings.

In the pickup truck, Zheng Xin spread her spiritual power, and the scope that her spiritual power can cover now is not large, so it only plays the role of the last vigilance.

As the vehicle got closer to the lavender nursery, the scent of lavender flowers became more intense, and the people in both cars also smelled this unique aroma one after another.

In the year 3700, Nanxing had never smelled this flower in the real world, but in the world of White Deer and the world of the game, Nanxing had seen lavender up close, and the taste was almost the same.

To be honest, Nanxing doesn't like the smell of lavender too much, and always feels that if you smell a little more, the base notes will have a faint smell. But the lavender fragrance here is slightly different from the taste in Nanxing's memory, the floral fragrance is strong but not smoky, and it also has a hint of sweetness, which is very good.

Yuan Xiaolang twitched his nose, "This fragrance smells so good, it turns out that lavender is this fragrance." ”

"It's the scent of lavender, but I always feel a little different." Luo Yunyun also put her nose to the position of the car window, sniffing the fragrance of flowers in the air, "This smell is a little familiar, have you ......smelled it somewhere?"

After an uphill driveway into a downhill driveway, a large field of lavender flowers came into view from afar.

It was a sea of lilac, as if you were in a dreamlike world. The unique scent of lavender wafts in the wind, and the air is filled with sweetness, even if everyone is wary of insects at this time, they have to admit the beauty of this nursery.

Lavender is a plant with small flowers and slender stems that shape the shape of wheat and small purple flowers bloom at the top of the stem.

The two cars stopped two hundred meters from the lavender nursery. From the countless flowers that can not be seen at a glance, it is not difficult to see that the entire lavender nursery covers a huge area. At this point, you can see that there is a passage in the middle of the lavender nursery that can be used for a car.

"Boss, do you want to go this way?" Yuan Xiaolang looked at the depths of the road as he looked at Ning Yi.

Ning Yi didn't speak, but his ability surged, forming wings directly behind him, and he flew into the air with a flap of his wings.

Looking down on this lavender field from the air, you will find that the whole nursery actually looks even more spectacular. At the distance, this lavender nursery is rectangular, and they are now facing the long side, if they take a detour, first of all, they have to drive along the lavender nursery for a long time, and when they reach the top of the long side, there is no ready-made road on either side, which means that if they make a detour, they can only travel in the land, which is very bad for the convoy, because the bugs like to hide in the dirt.

And the road in the middle of the lavender nursery is the length of the two short sides, which is definitely the shortest way to pass the lavender nursery route, and this road does not look long. And the road leads to a building in the middle of the flower field, and after entering the building, the road continues to the end of the flower field.

Ning Yi weighed the time and danger, and then fell from the sky and returned to the off-road vehicle.

Ning Yi didn't let everyone get out of the car for a meeting, but directly turned on the walkie-talkie, "Rectangular flower field, we are facing the long side, there is no ready-made road on both sides, if you detour, you can only drive in the land." The shortest route is about five kilometres, and there is a building in the middle of the flower field, and after passing the building, you can drive about the same distance to leave the lavender nursery. That's the situation right now, and I'd like to hear from you. ”

"I didn't find any bugs in my perceptual range." Zheng Xin first said what she perceived, "It's not normal for such a large plant to have no bugs. ”

Yuan Xiaolang had a different opinion, "It's not good to have no bugs, I don't believe that there is anything more difficult to deal with than bugs." ”

"At our current speed, five kilometers would take about 15 minutes. Even if there is something strange in the lavender nursery, with the strength of our human weapons, can't it last for fifteen minutes? Qizai, who rarely spoke, said a word.

Everyone talked about it for a while, some said they wanted to take a detour, some said they wanted to cross the flower fields, and finally Ning Yi decided to walk through the lavender nursery.

"Everyone's abilities are ready, the eighth is full of plants here, which is more suitable for you to play, you should pay more attention. Let's go. With Ning Yi's order, the two cars drove into the lavender nursery one after another.

Entering the lavender nursery, the fragrance seems to fade a little. Due to the occasional obstacles such as stones on this road, the speed of both cars is not very fast, about 20 kilometers per hour.

Because of some changes in light and shadow, Nanxing felt that there seemed to be a lot of dust in the air.

"There's something like dust in the air." Nanxing reminded loudly.

Hearing this, Lao Ba reached out and grabbed a handful in the air, and then Nanxing saw him rubbing it with two fingers, and then spread out his palm to look at it, and then said: "It's a plant spores, this thing should be very small, the lavender spores here are a little too big." ”

"Do you need to wear a gas mask?" Zheng Xin, who was in the co-pilot, turned his head and asked.

"It's better to bring it just in case."

Zheng Xin told Ning Yi the words of the eighth child through the walkie-talkie, and under the rear seats of the two cars, they were transformed into boxes that could hold things, and there were many standing items in addition to gas masks.

Yuan Xiaolang took out a gas mask from under the seat and handed it to a few people in the car, while he looked at a heavy gas mask and pouted a little dissatisfied, "Our gas mask is too big and heavy, and the style is still so old, it will affect the field of vision." ”

"It's good to have it, this is still Captain Ning spent a lot of money to exchange it with others." Luo Yunyun put on a gas mask, and when she spoke, she had a feeling of urn sound.

Since everyone had to wear gas masks, the car inevitably stopped, but after just a few moments, Ning Yi noticed that something was wrong.

A mantis-shaped insect actually poked in from the car window, and its forearm was already about to touch Yuan Xiaolang's arm.

"Be careful." Ning Yi stretched out his hand and pushed Yuan Xiaolang to Luo Yunyun's side, and then a small stream of water in his hand rushed directly to the body of the mantis-shaped insect.

Although the current was small, it still washed the insect straight through the car window, but it was apparently only washed out by the water, and as it fell, it was dragged back by the plants behind it.

The appearance of this praying mantis is similar to that of a flower, and at this moment it shrank into the lavender, and Ning Yi's eyes swept but found no trace of it.

Yuan Xiaolang came back to his senses at this time, he was almost attacked by a bug just now, "Boss Ning, what kind of bug?" Why don't I feel it at all? ”

"It looks like a praying mantis, maybe a mutant variant."

Ning Yi told the people in the pickup truck about the praying mantis and the fact that it was being dragged by plants and hiding in the lavender.

"But ......," Zheng Xin looked at the lavender field and wondered, "Why didn't I perceive anything?" ”

While speaking, Curly Hair, Lei Zi and Xing Yuan in the cargo box of the pickup truck also encountered this strange attack of the praying mantis, there were many of them, and the curly hair was pierced in the arm by the "big knife" of the mantis's forelimbs without paying attention, but he also caught the mantis and did not let it retract back into the lavender.

I don't know if it's because of the proximity to the middle building of the lavender nursery, there are more and more mantis-shaped bugs around. A few of them are very large, and they enter directly through the gaps on both sides of the car to attack the tires of the car.

When Ning Yi discovered this, his expression became more solemn than ever.

In the past, bugs jumped out of the ground to attack because they liked to hide underground, but no bug has ever gone out of their way to attack vehicle tires.

In the first eight years of the plague, many characteristics of insects have been discovered through repeated battles with insects, the most important of which is that these insects do not seem to be highly intelligent, they only attack humans by instinct.

The intelligence of insects is very low, so that humans can get a certain respite under the attack of insects, but if the intelligence of insects improves, it will undoubtedly be worse for humans.

"Boss Ning, there seems to be something wrong with the rear wheel of the pickup." Lao Wang shouted into the walkie-talkie.

Nanxing also sensed that something seemed to be wrong with the vehicle, and now the whole vehicle was very bumpy, and it would suddenly drive to the right from time to time.

Seeing that the small blue building in the middle of the lavender nursery appeared in front of everyone's eyes, there were more and more praying mantis insects around, and the front windshield of the car was knocked by several praying mantises, and it seemed that there were cracks.

"Hide in the building." Ning Yi found that there weren't a single bug in the building, and the roads here were too narrow to use fire-based abilities, after all, if the fire was ignited, it would most likely burn them. Entering the building is just a helpless solution.

The door of the blue building was pressed tightly, but with Yuan Xiaolang, a person who could manipulate metal, everyone easily entered the small building.

At the same time, all the praying mantis insects stopped outside the building, seemingly with no intention of entering the small building.

Lao Ba is a wood-based ability, helping to deal with the remaining mantis forelimbs on Lei Zi and Xing Yuan. It's just that as soon as he pulled out two, the eighth stopped.

"These ...... Not bugs. After speaking, Lao Ba walked up to Ning Yi and handed Ning Yi the forelimbs of the mantis that he had just pulled out of Lei Zi's arm to Ning Yi, "This thing looks like a bug, but it's actually a plant." ”

Ning Yi took the mantis forelimbs handed over by Lao Ba and observed them carefully, and sure enough, the two severed knife-shaped forelimbs were actually a kind of wood. Immediately afterwards, Lei Zi also easily pulled out a section of the mantis forelimbs from his other arm, and with a slight force, these forelimbs became something like wood slag.

Thinking of all the praying mantis insects that seemed to be dragging the stems of the plants behind them, Nanxing couldn't help but say, "Could it be that those lavenders outside have changed?" ”

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Ning Yi said in a deep voice.

"It's just that I've never heard of anyone encountering a mutant plant before, and this is the first time I've seen a plant mutation." Lao Wang looked at the wood mantis that was still surrounding the small building outside, and was a little worried.

Lao Ba also followed Lao Wang's gaze and looked at the wood mantis outside, but he had a different opinion, "Is it possible that these plants are man-made?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"
