Chapter 1067: Survival and Life and Death (2)
On the envelope was written in large letters, 'Received by Miss Xie Ting'. It turned out that the hostess of this household was called Xie Ting!
The house is well located, separated by a wall from Xijing Middle School, overlooking the playground and teaching building of the middle school. Although now those sites have been covered with shady greenery and turned into woods. Most of the school's buildings are also hidden in the trees, with only the roofs of the six-storey buildings looming.
These elm forests are also terrifying, where do they get their energy from? Does the human body, which is the foundation of cultivation, really have so many nutrients? It's just ignoring the law of conservation of energy!
I withdrew my gaze from the distance and began to look around for what was defined as 'useful'.
"You see, there are signs of human activity in the woods." Dr. Li shouted in surprise.
The sun is gradually moving westward, and it is already close to 5 p.m. There was not a trace of wind, as if the flow of air was completely absorbed by a black tornado a kilometer away. Speaking of which, how big is the hole under the new pigeon city, the air convection between the inside and the outside world has not been completed so far. What an incredible sight!
Gaps loomed into the tall jungle of human flesh, and beneath the suspended white particles, there were indeed people moving. The new pigeon city is a tourist city, even if the old residents have all changed plants, the tourist base is still very large. After being frightened, the number of people who walked out of the sheltered building to survive is naturally more and more now, a few hours later.
But without gas masks, they are likely to die from pollen allergies and blocked lungs.
The hostess was visibly voyeuristic, and a high-definition telescope was obsessively placed by the window facing the middle school. Dr. Lee was using this evil telescope to watch the people who were trying to survive beneath him.
"Those people are smart enough to cover their noses with a wet cloth." She observes and evaluates. Wu Li collapsed limply on the sofa, gasping comfortably. This girl was overwhelmed with exhaustion after only 6 floors, and her body bones were certainly not ordinary.
I took Lu Xiaoxiao to filter the objects in the house over and over again, but in this small one-bedroom apartment, there is not much to use except for basic furniture. The hostess's life is very lazy, and the things are scattered, I really wonder what she is doing every day, except to sleep.
sighed. Finally, he returned to the living room empty-handed. Dr. Lee was still looking down with his binoculars, and I took out my own binoculars to observe.
The ninth floor, which is not too high for the city. But humans will never be able to climb down, not to mention that except for me, the remaining four are all girls. In movies and stories, there are people who connect curtains one by one and use them to escape from tall buildings. In real life. The difficulty factor of the operation is too high to be considered.
The rest of the way ...... Damn it. I can't think of any other way. The roots are spreading upwards, and I can't see them, but I can guess them. Even if we escape to the rooftop, where will we end up? Suicide by jumping?
It's really the most desperate situation, and I never thought that I would be driven to a dead end by a plant that can't move.
"Ah, something seems to be wrong with those people." Dr. Lee exclaimed. Her sudden voice startled everyone, and everyone gathered around to listen to her live broadcast: "I just saw 33 people in the woods. In the blink of an eye, there were 5 less. Those walking in front seemed completely unaware that someone was missing at the back of the group. ”
I also looked through my binoculars, and in the elm forest, two streets away from the middle school opposite, there was a team of dozens of people walking forward with difficulty. In an instant, a black shadow swept by, and the last few people disappeared suddenly.
"There's something in the woods!" My heart was cold to the soles of my feet. If no one is alive, even if you escape from this building, the forest below may be the real place of death.
"Someone in the middle of the group noticed that the team members were disappearing between them." Dr. Li saw the crowd with sharp eyes. A man was pausing and looking around hesitantly, and then saying something. The team of only twenty people immediately panicked and confused, and the men seemed to be trying to get everyone together, but everyone was afraid and desperately fled in all directions of time.
Here the shadow appeared, like a spider hunting in the middle of the night, with an astonishing length and number. Soon the fleeing man was picked up and dragged deep into the woods. No one was spared.
Seeing the results with our own eyes, we fell into a deep silence.
"It's dead." Wu Li's face was full of despair, she couldn't count how many times she had despaired today, only this time, the feeling of death was so deep.
"We're not dead yet, think about it." I tried to stay as calm as I could.
"Those things on the ground are also the roots of plants, right?" Dr. Li tilted his head back with a complicated expression: "I still remember taking biology class in high school. The teacher also introduced that the main function of the roots of plants is to hold the plant body, absorb water and minerals dissolved in water, transport water and minerals to the stems, and store nutrients. Damn, it's just fart, I knew that grabbing that little old man's neck and throwing him here to take a look, he would definitely be able to change his faith. ”
This young professional woman, her nerves are probably on the verge of collapse.
Lu Xiaoxiao still followed me unreasonably, without much nervousness. It's good to be ignorant of the world and have a simple personality, at least without fear and trouble.
Xie Qianwen pricked up her ears and sighed softly: "Listen carefully, there seems to be a voice." ”
"Plant roots are coming up?" I suddenly became nervous.
"It doesn't sound like it, but it seems to be serious." Xie Qianwen's face turned pale.
We listened carefully and suddenly heard a real 'creaking' sound coming from under the floor, like 10,000 snakes sliding and crawling under the floor.
"Well, are we going somewhere we shouldn't? For example, the nest of a plant's roots? My smile was bitter.
As soon as the words fell, the entire floor collapsed, collapsing as if the end of the world was coming, and life seemed extremely fragile at this moment. Countless finger-thick roots pripped open the floor and emerged from the ground. Only then did I realize that the floor I was standing on was already so damaged that it could not bear the weight. I don't know how long these roots have been lurking under the family's floor, but in short, it won't be too short. Perhaps even its hostess has long been eaten and turned into the main body of nourishment and nourishment.
The floor crumbled layer by layer. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come and your support, which is my biggest motivation. )
