Chapter 2: Pandemic variants

Motorcade.

"Can you get rid of it?"

Looking at the surging epidemic variant in the rearview mirror, the beautiful woman in sunglasses in the passenger seat asked in a deep voice.

"It should be fine."

The young man in the driver's seat replied with some uncertainty. As soon as he finished saying this, a crisp pop suddenly came from the left rear of the car, and the jeep, which was speeding on the desert, almost overturned.

Under the protection of the seat belt, the three people in the car were not injured, and then the young man immediately stopped for inspection.

"Captain, the tire has burst."

On the vast desert, the tire burst on the way to escape, this unexpected situation undoubtedly made the already young and vigorous young mentality explode.

"Can it still be repaired?"

The beautiful woman in sunglasses also got out of the car, glanced at the tires that were no longer flat, and turned her head to ask. Along the way, this is already the Nth puncture.

"I can fix it, but it will take some time."

After the beautiful woman in sunglasses spoke, the originally angry young man instantly quieted down and replied very happily.

"Time ......"

With dust and smoke behind her, the sunglasses beauty looked at everyone in the team, and a trace of thought flashed in her eyes: "Is ten minutes enough?" ”

"Almost."

The youth replied.

"Hmm."

The beauty in sunglasses didn't say much, but the young man felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

There are still a lot of supplies in the car, and if they can't replace the spare tire within 10 minutes, they may have to leave the supplies in this car behind.

Yali Mountain is large.

By the time everyone had picked up their guns, loaded their bullets, and prepared to fight a defensive battle in three vehicles, the epidemic variant had already set foot in the oasis.

The piercing sound of gunfire rang out from the side of the convoy, and an extremely fast epidemic variant running on all fours fell in response, and was directly shot in the head, and blood sprayed all over the ground.

Why did you start fighting??

At this time, in the center of this oasis, Zhou Yang looked at the battlefield in front of him, constantly thinking in his mind.

Zhou Yang, who is new to the world and knows little about this world, does not plan to expose his particularity to prevent unexpected risks.

If you don't help, it's the right thing to do.

help, but it is easy to put yourself in danger......

At the moment when Zhou Yang didn't know how to make a decision, the behavior of the sunglasses beauty surprised him.

Help!

"Stand back."

The beauty in sunglasses shouted in a deep voice.

In each of her hands, there was a ball of fire at this time, and when the people of the convoy made way for her, the beauty in sunglasses combined the two balls of fire into one and threw them at the epidemic variant in front of her.

The fire and the plague variant meet, and a thick fire spreads out.

The epidemic variant died on a large scale, but Zhou Yang saw the beauty in sunglasses stumble in an instant, throwing these two balls of fire, which didn't seem easy for her.

"Sister Yaya, it's okay."

The little girl was closest to the sunglasses beauty, so she quickly held the sunglasses beauty who was about to fall, and asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Glancing at her watch, the beauty in sunglasses forced a smile, but the time on the watch was still half the way to ten minutes.

What to do......

……

The sudden burst of fire stunned the Plague variants for a moment, and they simply couldn't understand why the flames suddenly appeared, and why their companions died suddenly.

But this cessation is temporary.

The thick flames could not stop the group of epidemic variants who had no concept of life and death, and they began to rush towards the sea of fire again.

Seeing this scene, the beauty in sunglasses activated her ability again, but quickly retracted it.

"How could it be ......?"

Seeing the death of the plague variants in the sea of fire, the beauty in sunglasses suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Although she couldn't understand why her fire had increased so much, she was undoubtedly relieved that she didn't need to release the fire ball again.

Ten minutes passed......

With the help of others, the young man over there finally replaced the spare tire.

The car started again, and the members of the convoy that were suppressing the attack of the epidemic variants also began to slowly evacuate, and the sea of fire had disappeared for several minutes, but the epidemic variants still did not rush to them.

Everyone feels lucky......

Only the beauty in sunglasses felt a little strange, but she couldn't find the source of this feeling.

"Finally gone."

Seeing the convoy disappear into the desert, Zhou Yang no longer hid himself, and the wooden thorns hidden under the oasis began to stab with a more cheerful rhythm.

At the beginning, under the cover of the sea of fire, Zhou Yang used wooden thorns to stealthily kill a lot of epidemic variants, but then the sea of fire disappeared, in order not to expose himself, Zhou Yang deliberately slowed down the pace of the attack.

And now, the dragon enters the sea!

Killing all the epidemic variants that stepped into the oasis, Zhou Yang looked at those epidemic variants who left because they had no goal, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

He is not a murderer.

But the Soul Eater Ancient Tree roams the stars, and it really can't be a kind creature.

Like other trees, the Soul Eater Ancient Tree also needs nutrients to grow, but the nutrients of the ancient tree must be the essence extracted from flesh and blood.

Therefore, the place where the Soul Eater Ancient Tree appears often represents death and destruction.

There were more than 300 plague variants, but in the end, only three drops of blood-colored crystals were refined.

Zhou Yang buried two drops of blood-colored crystals under the tree, and the other drop was sent to the ancient tree space and placed in the hands of his sleeping body.

After dealing with these, Zhou Yang returned his consciousness to the ontology. Looking at the extremely beautiful blood-colored crystals in his hand, he couldn't help but indulge in it, admiring the beautiful lines on it.

The blood crystals are inedible, but they exude a scent like flowers and plants.

"Let's call you Blood Crystal."

Looking at the transparent and bright blood-colored crystals in his hand, Zhou Yang gave it a name very casually.

The reason for his name is also quite arbitrary, that is, the appearance of blood crystals, shimmering with crystal clear light.

A few hours later, it was still dark.

The convoy that had left in front of Zhou Yang before passed by the oasis again, and drove towards Zhou Yang's east side without hesitation.

"There seems to be a town over there?"

Zhou Yang muttered, and then returned his consciousness to the ontology again.

He doesn't like to use both perspectives at the same time, as that would make him feel like he's schizophrenic.

The night passed.

The Soul Eater Ancient Tree, which had absorbed two blood-colored crystals, grew a little taller, and its strength also increased.

There seems to be no limit to this growth, as long as there is enough flesh and blood to transform it, it can grow greedily.

"Goodbye!"

Stepping into the desert with his body, Zhou Yang said goodbye to the "little animals" around him with a sense of ceremony.

But whether the creatures around him can understand his farewell like this, only God knows.

Since then, the oasis has one less big tree, but more creatures......

And Zhou Yang also embarked on the road of progress.
