Chapter 140: Aftermath
Sanshuifu Town
As far as the eye can see, it seems as if the entire town has been flooded. All the buildings, large and small, are covered with greenery, some of which are even squeezed out of the cracks in the windows, one by one, intertwined and entwined around each building.
The green vines are wrapped around the high and low wires, and the circles of vines are like thin wires slowly forming more and thicker wires. With vines like twine, the entire street is covered like a regular roof.
The road was also covered with vines and weeds, and the windows of nearby houses were directly covered with the plants inside, as if they were stuffed with green plants, until they could no longer be plugged and crowded. As soon as the wind blows, the flocculent greenery floats up and falls again on top of other plants.
Soon, those plants began to shake violently as if they had been awakened from sleep, and the vines and plants began to expand wildly outward in an instant like a group of awakened antelopes.
"What are these?" Han Xiaoxiao took a step back.
He watched the vines under his feet being trampled on by himself, and immediately wrapped around his feet and climbed the rock. Looking at the vines that climbed the rock, Han Xiaoxiao unceremoniously burned them down with the fire in her palm.
The vines ignited by the fire seemed to sense the threat of Han Xiaoxiao, and slowly retracted the vines, beginning to expand along his feet in both directions.
"Ahh A voice rang out immediately.
A small warrior who followed behind was now entangled in those vines all over his body. Just when a few people next to him stretched out their hands to pull the vines, those vines seemed to feel threatened, and quickly surrounded the little warrior in the middle, and the tighter and tighter contraction twisted the little warrior into a twist, and the bones of the deformed body that were squeezed and twisted were squeezed out. Red blood seeped out from within, until finally inside, and screams drowned out in the vines.
"Stop." The tall man who led the group saw that the environment around them was starting to be unfriendly to them, and the vines began to slowly surround them, and if they continued like this, they would face the same things as their fallen comrades.
The tall, black-clad man made a gesture, and all the soldiers split into two and immediately rushed out.
"Xiaoduo, take Miss Xu and them to find a place to take refuge." The big tall man commanded their guide.
At this time, Duomu was a vegetable, about to blend in with the surrounding scenery, he shook his head, "This place has changed again, there were not so many plants before, and those plants have never killed people, I have never encountered this situation, I ......"
"Shut up." The tall man looked at Duomu and was already frightened by what happened just now, he immediately went up and slapped Duomu, watching his scattered eyes slowly gather.
The tall man gripped Duomu's shoulders with both hands, and the weight on his shoulders became heavier and heavier, "You are not a child now, you are the hope of your whole village." At this time, no one has an advantage over you here, calm down and think about it, you can't lose to these plants with no brains and no feelings. ”
His words probably worked, and little by little they entered the ears of many acres.
Duomu listened to the words one by one, and every sentence seemed to be very important, but why couldn't he turn his mind for a long time, and he couldn't hear it in his head at all. What to do? He couldn't understand what the captain was saying?
What should he do?
There was a buzz in the panicked Xiaoduo's mind, he couldn't figure out where he should lead people to, and all the places in front of him seemed to be those man-eating vines. A hand quietly held him, and the slightly cold temperature made him look down unconsciously.
It was a slender hand, a woman's hand. He raised his head along the hand and saw Xu Xuening's smiling face, and his heart unexpectedly adjusted his breathing with her smile.
"Breathe slowly, follow me." He listened to the voice as if it were nothing.
"Look at me, look at me...... Look at me......" The voice kept repeating, these three words kept echoing in his mind, and finally, he raised his head and looked at Xu Xuening.
Xu Xuening's voice came into his ears again, but this time the tone was much firmer.
"Think about where the safest place you've ever seen, and where the plants are the least close."
"I ......"
Before Xiaoduo could speak, the voice sounded again, "Don't say it, think about it." ”
He obediently closed his mouth, thinking about where the hell is the place where plants don't like to grow......
"Water...... Next to the waterhole, there is a place where there are no plants. ”
"How could there be no location in the waterhole?" Han Xiaoxiao felt strange when he heard it, and he turned his head to look at the acres while forcing back the approaching plants around him with fire.
Many acres shuddered, "Because it has been cursed a long time ago." There, there's no grass there. ”
He was almost on the verge of crying when he said it, but there was no way to say it. He tried to explain, but he couldn't figure out what he was supposed to say.
"Follow along. Han Xiaoxiao, you and Lao Chang are responsible for the aftermath. "There are two people in the team who can make flames. One is Han Xiaoxiao, and the other is a small man.
After hearing the tall captain say this, the nominated Lao Chang immediately walked out and stood at the end of the line.
"Dude, can you? Don't tell me, I'll support you. Han Xiaoxiao was extremely confident in the fire in his palm, and he looked at the person next to him confidently.
The old man is not tall, his face is sallow, and he looks like a man who has been depressed all the year round, and he always looks like he wants to hide himself in the crowd. Hearing the nomination of the captain, Lao Chang still stood up slowly like a turtle. Hearing Han Xiaoxiao next to him with a happy look, he just nodded expressionlessly, as if he didn't understand what Han Xiaoxiao said.
"Alright, action." After the tall captain watched the team redistribute, he led the people to clear the way.
When an existential crisis hits, everyone knows they can't escape it.
One of the ways to grow quickly is to have the courage to face it all.
All the people lowered their footsteps and followed Duomu towards the front. Footprints step on one footprint, and the footprints left on them disappear again as the plants grow and move rapidly.
In order to reach the place where plants were scarce as soon as possible, Duomu took them through the middle of the road. It was originally a wide road in the town, with bright houses on both sides, but now, it is like walking into a dark forest.
When I looked up, I couldn't see a ray of light in the sky. The houses on both sides have been surrounded by plants and have become one giant after another. Each giant stretched out countless arms and hugged each other, blocking out all the light above their heads.
A soldier who has just grown up carefully follows the row of footprints under his feet, and he must step on them carefully, because beyond these steps may be an invisible killing machine.
Han Xiaoxiao and Lao often used fire to burn the vines that approached. The vine that had stalked their soldier was like a poisonous snake, chasing them closely.
Han Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth and watched the fire in his palm keep coming out, he felt that with such a continuous release of ability, the energy consumption of his body was even faster.
Everything is quiet, and there is not a single zombie to be seen in this town.
But everyone didn't feel at ease, and they panicked more than zombies, this silent town, all of which were in danger. The wind blew slightly, with a hint of warmth, but everyone was in a cold sweat.
Han Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat that kept coming out of his head with his sleeve, and he looked sideways at the person next to him.
Lao Chang stared intently at the plants in front of him, those plants that were constantly approaching, and Lao Chang immediately destroyed them with fire.
"Damn, have you found a way out?" Han Xiaoxiao, who was about to run out of energy, roared at the person in front of her.
The small street of about a hundred meters is now more like walking into an endless abyss with no end in sight.
Every step was thrilling, and there seemed to be countless wild ghosts locked up in the surrounding houses, quietly staring at the group in front of them.
Han Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roar, and suddenly broke the silence for a moment, and suddenly, all the leaves seemed to be lit up, and the rustling leaves began to move rapidly, and the originally stretched leaves were all erected at this moment, rolling up the leaves into sharp awls, and piercing towards the people in front of them.
The sound of piercing flesh sounded in the middle, and the green road along the ground became a bright red blood road.
None of them made a sound, and everyone was suffering in silence, sharing the sharp pain.
Under the green vegetation, blood slowly seeped into the black soil, and suddenly opened a pair of eyes silently that had given birth to life.
Food, there is food
In the rustling soil, tens of millions of neuronal cells transmit the same information, and the same information continues to spread to the large areas of soil under the green vegetation.
Countless voices gradually gathered into an old house, and the wind blew quietly, but this time, all the plants were dead and silent, without sound.
Han Xiaoxiao's physical strength had long been exhausted, but the plants that pursued them followed tirelessly. Suddenly, a sharp thrust came from his feet, and he immediately fell to the side unsuspectingly.
Seeing that he was about to fall into the large leaves, a hand grabbed him hard and held him steadily.
Han Xiaoxiao looked up, and the owner of that hand was Lao Chang.
"Stand firm. I'll come back to the pad. Lao Chang didn't look at him anymore, and carefully cleared the obstacles behind him.
