Chapter 634: The Awakened
After practicing all night, Cheng Lin didn't know what had become outside, but thinking about the crazy grass and trees that grew after midnight last night, he faintly had a little guess.
But when he walked downstairs and came to the street, he was still startled by the scene in front of him.
I saw that the road had become dilapidated, and the trees on both sides of the road had skyrocketed, showing not only thicker, taller, denser branches, but also the expansion of underground roots.
Thick roots emerged from the dirt, cracking the smooth pavement like congested veins.
On the road, except for the middle part, the sides are already uneven, cracks everywhere, those masonry paved roads are even worse, the weeds in the cracks of the masonry are clustered out, and large pieces of dirt are spread, and in serious places, the masonry is backlogged and broken.
There was also a faint mist in the air, which obscured the sun's rays, leaving only an obscure coldness between heaven and earth.
Cheng Lin walked on the street, in the past, it should have been a shuttle of traffic, but now, only a few vehicles are struggling to move forward, and in the distance, you can hear the mournful sound of horns.
People from nearby homes and shops came out one after another, some of them stopped blankly, and some of them were cleaning up the billboards that had been destroyed by the crazy growth of trees.
At this time, many people have just walked out of the house, and when they see this strange scene, they immediately make a noisy noise and ask the people around them, but they can't get an answer.
"It's better than I expected."
Cheng Lin muttered and breathed a sigh of relief, his worst expectation was that the entire city would be in ruins, but now it seems that it is much better, and the main damage is on both sides of the road.
"Most likely, it's because there are fewer plants in the city, and the revival of Reiki hasn't reached its peak yet."
Cheng Lin nodded secretly and walked towards the familiar morning shop, the shops were open as usual, but the boss looked a little worried: "Who knows what's going on?" As soon as I opened my eyes, the grass grew bigger. ”
Cheng Lin paid the money and asked, "Did you call the police?" ”
"Do you still need to call the police?"
"Yes."
Cheng Lin nodded, and then left with a bite of the bun, the shopkeeper looked at this familiar high school student, and always felt a chill of compassion on his spine.
This student can't help but be a little too calm!
……
Cheng Lin didn't care too much about what other people thought, and since the city hadn't changed much except for the weird atmosphere, he continued to walk towards the school.
On the way, while eating, he opened his "hazy eyes" and looked at it, and found that most of the plants emitted a very faint light, very faint, and as for the possible "special species", he did not see it for the time being.
Breaking through the fog and coming to the school gate, he found that the school gate seemed a little deserted today.
Walking in, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw that the originally flat playground had become potholes, with many cracks, as if it had been earthquaked, and through his perception, he found that the concentration of spiritual energy here was higher than in other places.
"Could it be that the grass seeds in the soil layer under the playground have sprouted?"
Cheng Lin looked at the green and tender plant stalks that were revealed in some cracks, and couldn't help but guess.
Silently walked through the broken pavement and entered the school building, fortunately, the power of the grass seed to sprout was still limited, so as not to overturn the building.
It's just that the situation in the corridor doesn't seem to be very good, Cheng Lin clearly saw that the crack in the door of an office was stuffed with green blades of grass, and it was no surprise that the potted plants inside were growing wildly.
There were also faculty members tearing and clearing the weeds, and everyone had some kind of unspoken panic on their faces.
Pushing open the door of the classroom, Cheng Lin took a look and found that many students had arrived, but the number was significantly less, it should have been delayed at home, and his parents did not let him come.
At this moment, the students are huddled together, both panicked and excited, discussing what they have seen and heard on the way to school this morning.
"Cheng Lin! You're finally here! ”
Suddenly, Sun Xiao, who was sitting in the center of the discussion, stood up abruptly and shouted in a trembling voice.
This immediately caused everyone to look at the door.
Cheng Lin frowned, slowly walked to his seat with a little discomfort, took off his schoolbag, and looked calm: "Something?" ”
Sun Xiao walked over, his mental condition seemed to be in some kind of uneasy excitement, and his face was paler than usual:
"You ...... yesterday Yesterday PE class kept me away from plants...... I don't know why you say that, but when I went to bed last night, I put the flower pot in my bedroom on the balcony. ”
"Well, and then?"
"And then ......" Sun Xiao swallowed and spit, as if remembering a bad memory, he shuddered and said, "As soon as I woke up this morning, I found that the pot of flowers had squeezed in through the crack in the window, became very long, and extended all the way to my bed, and I had already touched the foot of the bed at that time, like ...... It's like it's trying to get me! ”
His narrative was straightforward and lacked good modifiers, but when he heard this, the students present felt an indescribable sense of discomfort welling up in their hearts.
"Oh." Cheng Lin blinked and nodded to indicate that he understood.
His calm attitude contrasted sharply with the rest of the rest.
"You...... Don't you want to say something else? Sun Xiao opened his mouth.
Cheng Lin groaned, and suddenly smiled: "Maybe it likes you and wants to touch you, it's as simple as that." ”
Sun Xiao's face suddenly became bitter, and he said directly:
"Don't tease me, can you? This is obviously not right! You must know something, don't you? ”
He asked expectantly.
Faced with this strange incident, Sun Xiao instinctively panicked, and was afraid that his parents and sister would worry, so he didn't dare to tell his family.
In the morning, I hurriedly cleaned up the pot of flowers with a knife, disposed of all the living plants in the house, and told my family not to approach the plants, so I came to the school in a hurry, and I looked forward to seeing Cheng Lin and figuring out what was going on.
And what he saw along the way made him even more uneasy.
"Me? What can I know, it's just to tell you casually, don't scare yourself. ”
A gentle smile appeared on Cheng Lin's immature face and said comfortingly.
Sun Xiao was about to say something, when suddenly, a piercing scream came from outside the window!
"Ahh
The scream clearly belonged to the schoolgirl, and her voice was sharp and penetrating, breaking through the gloomy fog and coming in.
Everyone was stunned and rushed to the window.
In the morning, the windows should be ventilated, so the windows are open, and the class is on the first floor, which is very close to the students.
Cheng Lin also walked over, and immediately his eyes shrank, only to see that from a dark crack propped up on the playground, dense white and green leaves burst out, like a messy ball of hair, with flying hair, and like some kind of strange underwater creature, it was rushing towards a girl who fell to the ground.
The latter, however, had already weakened his legs and could no longer move except screaming.
Cheng Lin silently opened his hazy eyes and found that the light emitted by the wriggling plant was higher than that of other plants.
"Is this the best in evolution?" As soon as Cheng Lin's thoughts arose, he suddenly realized that he saw a slender figure on the playground running over violently, blocking between the girl and the worm animals and plants.
The figure was running so fast that it was hard to imagine how fast an ordinary student could run.
"Song! It's Song from the next class! ”
Someone in the class exclaimed.
It was indeed Song, but it was different from the vigorous and heroic posture when we met again later, she was still soft and weak at this time, and she was a typical little girl who studied well.
People couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't understand where she got her courage, only Cheng Lin's eyes moved slightly, and he realized something.
The next moment, people only saw Song's thin figure suddenly trembling, gritting her teeth, as if she was very hard, and then, she suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed it forward, and a crackling sound of air being squeezed and exploding sounded.
An invisible "air bullet" shot out and hit the clump of plants, whose leaves trembled, let out some kind of weird chirp, and retreated into the cracks in the surface.
Seeing this scene, the people watching both on the playground and in the classroom were stunned.
"What happened?"
"What did she do? Why did it suddenly ring, that's it? ”
The chatter paused, diluting even the fear of the plant.
Song, who sent out the air bomb, turned even paler, and her body shook slightly, obviously, it was not an easy thing for her who had just woken up.
Gritting her teeth, she turned around and squatted down to pull the girl on the ground, but she couldn't pull it up for a while.
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, someone shouted again.
I saw that the worm animal and plant that had already retracted suddenly rushed out again, and countless branches flew, straight as a gun, stabbing at Song's back!
This scene was something that everyone didn't expect, and in the classroom, some girls directly covered their eyes and didn't dare to open it again.
At this moment, suddenly, another figure appeared in a classroom on the first floor, this figure moved faster than Song, jumped out of the window, turned back and stepped on the wall, and at the same time the figure jumped, a swirling light mixed with fiery red and turquoise suddenly flew out, extremely fast.
Flame Slash on!
At this moment, Cheng Lin skillfully combined the two abilities of "Low Temperature Fireball" and "Spiral Cutting" to condense it into a first-class ability "Flame Cutting" and threw it forward.
He hadn't used this ability for a long time, but with his knowledge of the Six Rank Realm, he didn't have a trace of sluggishness when he used it at this moment.
"Whoosh......"
A flame of light swept by, striking accurately, and in an instant, the wriggling plant broke open and burned, and the leaves withered rapidly, and in a terrible roar, they turned into a charred dead mass.
At this time, Song had just turned around.
In the midst of countless shocked eyes, Cheng Lin, who was wearing a school uniform, slowly landed on the ground, glanced at her, and then immediately turned his gaze to the dead plant and frowned.
……
in the classroom.
The students of Class 3 had already grown their mouths in shock, as if they had not reacquainted themselves with this inconspicuous classmate until this day.
"Squad leader...... Is that really Cheng Lin? A classmate couldn't help but ask.
Sun Xiao swallowed and foamed, and said with some uncertainty: "Yes...... Right? ”
