Chapter 196: There is no way ahead

The corpses were stacked on top of each other, densely hidden in the dense roots.

I swept my flashlight over the roots of the trees, and around them, there were countless corpses hanging in the air.

All the corpses were as thin as the rhizomes had just been wrapped, without any moisture.

The branches wrapped around the corpses trembled slightly, as if a wind was blowing past the roots.

Wind?

This is a sealed place, how can there be wind? I don't have to look closely, I know if it's the wind, it's the branches that are shaking on their own.

"Retreat, go."

I tried to make my voice as steady as I could, but it still trembled from too much fear, and when I quickly stepped back, the flashlight in my hand was still staring at the terrible roots.

I've seen it in the security room, and the things that we thought were very aggressive were actually these roots.

It's the first time I've seen a plant that can devour people, but it's also the first time I've seen it, let alone something that can devour so many people.

Ban Hua and Kong Li probably didn't know what was going on, but because of my trembling voice, they felt very wrong, and immediately turned around and ran in the direction we came.

"Rustle"

A dull dragging sound suddenly sounded in the darkness, not loud at first, but as we ran forward, it became louder and louder, and the entire basement was filled with this strange sound.

I swept it with a flashlight, and I felt a cold hair standing on end all over my body, and not far from us, there were bright red and strange branches.

"Run, don't turn your head......"

I roared under my breath, clutched the textbook in my other hand, and ran forward with my head down.

"Bang"

I rushed too fast, and I slammed into the person in front of me.

"Stop and do what? Run. "I looked back at the bright red branches, like tiny poisonous snakes stretching out towards us quickly and terrifyingly.

"No, there's no road, there's no road ahead, there's no road ahead." Kong Li trembled and shouted with a cry in his voice.

I turned my head to see that the door to the basement where we had once entered had been completely sealed by the strong roots of the tree, and there was no crack in it.

"Taiyi ......"

Banhua looked behind me in horror, her voice out of fear turned out of voice.

I grabbed the textbook and jerked it behind me, only to hear a crisp sound behind me, and countless popping sounds.

But it was too late, and all I could do was feel a pain in my arm, as if something had gotten into my arm.

I immediately turned around and grabbed my arm, holding down what had penetrated into my veins through my skin.

Because it was on my arm, I couldn't pull it out with my hands.

The thing that got into his veins felt like a tiny snake, and he struggled frantically under the pressure of my fingers.

I guess I wanted to escape from under my fingers, and the strength was so great that I could barely hold it down.

"You two, take care of yourselves."

I gritted my teeth and stood next to me, my head down and my arm down.

The bite was so hard that it tore through the skin in one bite, and I bit down on my own flesh and pulled a piece of it hard, and a stream of warm blood rushed into my mouth.

Where the flesh was torn to reveal a huge wound, a tiny rhizome that throbbed wildly in the blood water.

The place where my fingers were pressed was in the middle of the roots, and nearly half of the roots were in front of my wounds, where I could not see.

Unable to hold on to the second half of the root, I had to lower my head and bite it with my mouth, and while I released my fingers, my mouth was torn outwards with all my might.

"Snort"

A stream of blood spurted out, blood spurted into my eyes, and everything in my eyes became scarlet and terrifying.

"Phew."

I spit out the branch, but it showed no signs of creeping, as if it had actually become a normal branch.

"Cao Taiyi, come over and help, I'm going to pull ...... away"

"Don't ......"

By the time I was dealing with the branches in my arm, Kong Li had already rushed into the sealed branches, tearing a path through the many branches.

He really worked hard and worked very hard.

In just a few seconds, he could already see the setting sun outside.

The sky was full of red glow, like blood staining the sky and clouds red.

In the last afterglow of the sunset, the surrounding area is full of dazzling bright red, which makes people unbearable to look at it directly.

I rushed over, grabbed Kong Li's clothes and dragged him back,

Kong Li suddenly turned his head to look at me, and said in a terrified voice: "Taiyi, I, I feel, as if something has penetrated into me, into my body." Well, it hurts, it hurts......"

"Smack-smack"

There was a crisp cracking sound around Kong Li, like a cracking sound from a rubber band being pulled tightly by someone, and the rubber band broke because it couldn't bear the pulling force.

I grabbed the clothes on Kong Li's body and dragged them back desperately.

"You come out for me, come out."

"Sting"

I tore off large chunks of my clothes, and I took several steps back because of my own pull, and I almost fell.

When I saw Kong Li's back clearly, I was so frightened that I could barely move my body.

What kind of back is this?

Countless lines bulged high from his back, like tiny vipers hiding beneath his skin.

The poisonous snake twisted and twisted, squirming wildly in his back, and it made people's scalps tingle to watch.

I could see Kong Li's back trembling with pain, his hands wrapped around the branches.

Those strange branches, along the wounds on his arms, entered his veins, and extended all over his body.

"Taiyi, I, I'm not scared anymore, you don't know, how timid I am, every time, every time something terrible happens, I will tremble because of fear, but I am afraid that others will know these things, only, only when I follow you, I will not become so afraid."

"I'm a coward, but I'm not afraid now, haha...... I'm not scared anymore, come on my friend, step on my corpse, run from, escape from here, only you escape, I, even if I die, it's worth it. ”

"Kong Li, you ......"

"Go, go, go, go......" Kong Li shouted frantically, waving his hands.

Many branches around him were pulled off, but more branches fell into Kong Li's wound and invaded his body along his wound.

Kong Li's mouth let out a strange scream, and his body, which was trembling because of the pain, was almost about to explode.

"Go ......"

As soon as I gritted my teeth, I grabbed the already sluggish Banhua violently, and jumped out of the hole torn by the hole with her.

Standing outside the basement, I looked at Kong Li.

His eyes had become blurred, but the moment he met me, he was very clear.

"Cao Taiyi, you, you have to live well, you must live ......"

"Poof"

Countless tiny branches came out of Kong Li's eyes, and the branches pierced his eyeballs, and just like that, they broke through his eyes.
