Volume 2 Chapter 6 Writing on the Wall
Fu Hongyang really saw it, it was indeed a branch, and there were a few unknown leaves growing on it.
But it is not a branch, and a branch without a tree wriggles and curls like tentacles, with a large mass of twisted, hair-like tentacles growing at the tip.
These tentacles were very much like a kind of sensory organs, opening in mid-air, and then reaching towards Fu Hongyang little by little.
"It can sense me!" Fu Hongyang had already dodged to the side, but the tentacle branches still leaned on the tentacles and still shot towards him quickly.
The steel drill swings the branch with a swing of the hand.
Feeling that the stick could not deal with the branches at all, he quickly changed to a machete.
The knife drawing technique reappeared, aiming at the tentacle branches that ejected again, and it was a Natsuhime eight slash. His strength was very great, and the tentacle branches were not very hard, similar to ordinary tree branches, so after a few slashes, he succeeded in cutting off the wrist-thick branches.
Smack!
The severed tentacle branches, about a meter or so, twisted on the ground like a snake struggling, coiled in a circle and then bounced back into one, and finally stopped moving. The remaining tentacle branches, as if frightened, retracted into the vague canopy of the trees.
"Doudou, pick up the branches, let's hurry up!" Fu Hongyang didn't dare to stay here longer, obviously this weird mutated tree had already "discovered" itself.
Doudou quickly grasped his command, bit the branch on the ground, and fled with him into the distance.
As soon as a man and a dog ran away, more tentacle branches suddenly hung down from the depths of the canopy, ranging in thickness from finger to thigh. The branches whipped at the ground, and the tentacles at the front of them unfolded, searching the surroundings for Fu Hongyang's traces.
Without noticing it, the branches slowly retracted into the canopy, but a dozen ugly, invisible, monkey-like zombies fell from the canopy.
After landing on the ground, he rolled a few laps, and then roared and rushed in the direction where Fu Hongyang and Doudou were fleeing.
Their roars made Fu Hongyang not dare to look back, at least within the range of the tentacles and branches of the canopy, he didn't dare to look back, for fear of being taken into the canopy and suffering inhumane abuse - he didn't know how the big tree had mutated, but now it was undoubtedly comparable to the legendary cannibal tree.
Dangerous.
It wasn't until he ran more than fifty meters away that the outline of the mutant tree had dimmed that he relented slightly.
Listening attentively to the roar of the zombies behind him, he found that there were not many of them, and then looked back, these monkey-like zombies obviously couldn't catch up with him at a running speed, and in the process of running, they were divided into those who ran fast and those who ran slowly.
"It's ugly!"
Fu Hongyang held the steel drill, slowed down his running speed, and was gradually caught up by the fastest zombie. However, as soon as the zombie wanted to pounce on him, he was pierced through his head by a steel drill that gradually expanded in his pupils.
Poof!
Green mucus splatters along the skull in place of the presence of brain plasma.
Fu Hongyang quickly pulled out the steel drill and let out a disdainful sneer: "I thought that you would be very strong when you mutated into this ghost, but I didn't expect it to be no different from ordinary zombies." "To this day, he has encountered several mutant zombies, the iron-bone zombie has the strongest combat effectiveness, and the strong man zombie's combat effectiveness is unknown.
Other mutant zombies, such as frog jumping zombies, spider zombies, baby zombies, twisted zombies, and this monkey zombie, basically have no sense of superiority over ordinary zombies.
According to this method, he killed all the monkey zombies chasing him one by one.
"When I ran away, I vaguely remembered that the monkey zombie must have fallen from the tree, and I had seen something moving in the canopy before, so it should be this monkey zombie...... Zombies who have mutated the ability to climb trees may have good combat effectiveness in trees, so you have to be careful in the future. β
With a black tree and shelter at all times, he is not afraid of zombie sieges, but zombies who can climb trees must be taken seriously.
"Ahh Doudou places the branch he was holding on the ground.
Fu Hongyang immediately picked up the branch and observed it carefully: "Strange branch, bare and occasionally grow two leaves, this ovoid leaf seems to have seen it, but I can't name the tree...... The branches are thick, not slender at all, and the tentacles on them resemble small tree roots. β
The more I looked, the more confused I became, and I didn't know what kind of tree it was.
"I guess I showed it to botanists, and I don't know it, this mutated tree is too weird, and it can even grow tentacles like a jing." He had palpitations at the tentacle branches of the mutated tree.
I took a knife and cut the branches one by one, and found that it was just ordinary wood, and the texture was softer than that of ordinary branches, and there was no more special structure. After thinking about it, he cut off a handful of tentacles and threw them into a plastic oil bottle to see if the mutant queen would eat such a thingβit was produced by the mutant tree, after all.
After a few moments, he threw away the branches, took Doudou with him, and continued along the small ditch.
Soon, the housing area of Taoji Town came into view, and although the voices of zombies were heard in the distance, they came from different directions in the town and were not concentrated. He forked the path and crossed a courtyard wall with Doudou, preparing to shuttle through the house as planned.
This can effectively avoid alarming zombies.
But as soon as I climbed over the wall and entered, I saw that there were two zombies in this house, locked in the room. Judging from the clothes worn, it should be the elderly who stayed at home to resuscitate after death. The doors and windows are closed, which shows that before the old man died, it was to prevent the smog from entering the house.
However, they were eventually swallowed up by the smog.
Opening the door, headshot with a steel drill, and in one go, Fu Hongyang went straight to the hall. Through the doors and windows, you can see the scene of the street outside, which has both a chaotic side and a desolate side. Originally, the streets of Taoji Town have been beautified and managed for several years, and they are already very beautiful.
There are green belts, sidewalks, parking spaces.
However, at this moment, the wreckage of several cars colliding can be vaguely seen on the street, and there is a lot of garbage rolling on the ground; On the other hand, however, all kinds of green plants have crossed the green belt and are growing densely in all places where there is soil.
It's like a town that has been abandoned for years.
Plants began to rebel against human civilization.
A few zombies staggered around the corner and escaped into the haze, and another zombie was stuck in the window of the second-story building opposite, its thin body occasionally waving its arms and making a hoarse cry.
There is no sign of human activity.
The town of Taoji has been abandoned by the survivors, and even the zombies are about to abandon it, except for a few of them, this is a silent place of death.
Fu Hongyang frowned slightly: "There are no mutated trees that can absorb the haze, so it's normal that there are no survivors to settle down." As for the zombies, they should all be attracted by the kind of sperm mutation trees they saw before, and it only takes three or five of these trees to gather all the zombies in the town. β
"Doudou, you stay here and help me look at the bag, understand?"
"Wow!" Doudou squatted on the ground.
Fu Hongyang left the room and locked the door to prevent Doudou from running around.
Armed with only a steel drill, a machete, and two fruit knives, he went up the stairs to the second floor and then flew with a lunge, clutching the roof of the second floor like a parkour master. The roofs were all connected, and he could quickly jump over the roofs of a dozen houses.
Suddenly, his eyes locked on the supermarket wall across the street, which was originally white, but now it was boldly written with red spray paint.
"There are big trees at the fork in the Wanglou, there is no fog, and those who survive hurry up to take refuge."
There are also three lines of small print on the back.
The first line reads: "Taoji Town Government, announced on March 15." β
The second line reads: "Re-proclaimed on March 21." β
