Chapter 40: The Last Days Are Cruel
And the zombies also gave up Fang Rin's goal, staring at the flowers on the mutant tree with their eyes.
One by one, they gnawed on the roots of the trees that wrapped around their bodies.
Such a large-scale invasion made the mutant tree unbearable, and the whole tree trembled violently, and I don't know if it hurts, if it has pain.
"That's it!"
Seeing that the demon tree and the zombie group were fighting inseparably, Fang Rin didn't delay any longer, and locked on to the red-eyed zombie and the red-eyed zombie pig that had just been dragged in at a glance.
took out the dagger, lightly slashed at the back of the red-eyed zombie's head, and then picked it up, and a corpse bead reached his hand.
didn't care about the blood stains on the corpse beads, put them in his pocket, and Fang Rin came to the zombie pig.
This zombie pig is already dead at this moment, but with this fat head and big ears, Fang Rin didn't know where to start for a while.
He hasn't dissected a zombie yet, is the corpse bead the same as a zombie, existing in the back of the head? What if the zombie beast doesn't produce corpse beads?
"No matter, let's try it!"
Fang Rin's dagger swiped quickly, and between the palms of his hands, the pork continued to fly.
Finally, Fang Rin found a corpse bead in the skull of the pig's brain, although the place was different, but the appearance was no different from the corpse bead of the zombie, and it was larger.
"It's over!"
Fang Rin, who got the corpse beads, looked around, the fountain was almost surrounded by zombies, and the demon tree was still trying to support it, all the zombies were blocked out of the fountain pool, unable to attack its body.
But it was all in his plan.
He set his eyes on the strange flower, which was so close at the moment that the rich fragrance of the flower no longer had to be drilled into his nose without him having to inhale it.
With such a rare treasure in front of you, you can't miss it.
Fang Rin was about to act, but saw that in the zombie group, a red-eyed zombie suddenly appeared, extremely fast, with the help of ordinary zombies to attract the attention of the mutant tree, dodging all the roots, rushing through the defense network of the mutant tree, and rushing straight to the strange flower.
"Damn! There are even beard cuts! ”
The power-type red-eyed zombies may not be able to break through the defense network of the mutant tree, but the speed-type red-eyed zombies are obviously able to do so.
Fang Rin secretly regretted it at the moment, but he couldn't change the fact that he was already a step slower.
The speed of this red-eyed zombie has increased to the limit at this moment, like an afterimage, stepping over the corpse mountain and heading straight for the strange flower.
However, the next scene made Fang Rin's hairs stand on end, and he suddenly stopped.
I saw that the mutant tree seemed to sense the danger, and the trunk of the tree actually squirmed, and the flower sank into the trunk, and the existence of the flower could no longer be seen outside.
At the same time, the branches above shook wildly, and thousands of stems suddenly drooped, and the red-eyed zombie with great speed was entangled in one fell swoop.
I saw the red-eyed zombie struggling frantically, but unfortunately, with the ability of the mutant tree, it had fallen into the trap of the prey, but how did it come out.
In less than a moment, it was wrapped into a mummy.
At this moment, Fang Rin only felt a cold sweat all over his body.
It's too dangerous!
It's insidious!
It's crazy!
If you are one step faster, then at this moment, it is you who falls into the trap of the mutant tree, not this red-eyed zombie.
Sure enough, under the temptation, there are many traps, this sentence is not in vain.
If the roots in front of it are the first line of defense, then these stems hanging from the branches are the second line of defense, and in addition, the mutant tree is able to hide the flower in its body, which is tantamount to the third line of defense.
To obtain this flower, it is necessary to break through three lines of defense in a row.
It was almost impossible for him to get that strange flower, at least not for him now.
And Fang Rin guessed that the end of the world was only nine days, and the mutant tree could not have been so powerful at the beginning, it must have deliberately placed flowers outside to attract greedy people, and then these greedy people who wanted to eat the flowers died in its trap and became its nourishment, and it was the hundreds of zombies and zombies that it killed that provided it with a lot of evolutionary energy, and it came to this point.
Tempt prey to come and die, and then accelerate your own evolution.
Is this still a plant?
This is even more perverted than the evolved red-eyed zombies.
But this method makes perfect sense, don't carnivorous plants rely on secretions to attract small insects into the trap, and then kill and eat them?
It's just that carnivorous plants eat small insects, and this mutant tree eats zombies and zombies!
The degree of evolution of this mutant tree was too high, and Fang Rin understood in an instant that it was impossible to get that extraordinary flower by himself.
I can only give up!
From the moment he met the first zombie, Fang Rin knew that he must be decisive in case of trouble!
At this moment, he chose to give up without hesitation.
Raising his saber, he rounded the mutant trees and lunged towards the opposite side, where there were currently the fewest zombies.
This time, Fang Rin completely exerted all his speed and strength, and without reservation, he went all out to break through.
The saber in his hand was constantly wielded, whether it was a zombie or a tree root, all of them were cut off by him with one sword, quite a god blocking and killing gods, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.
There are fewer zombies on this side, and the demon tree doesn't have the energy to concentrate on encircling him, so he easily broke through.
ran all the way until he reached the other end of the neighborhood before stopping.
Walking around the community, Fang Rin soon returned to the small building where the backpack was stored, took the backpack and iron rod, and left without hesitation.
……
It's getting darker!
And Fang Rin finally saw the shadow of the towering city!
The distance between the towering city and the straight line is no more than five hundred meters from him, and then turning over the community in front of him and passing through the crossroads, you can reach the main gate of the towering city.
In just half an hour's journey, he actually walked until it was dark until he got here, not because he was slow, but because there were too many dangers along the way.
He was even attacked by survivors, and in one of the neighborhoods, a group of people saw him acting alone and became interested in money, and immediately surrounded him and forced him to hand over his supplies.
In the eyes of these starving survivors, it was obviously easier to snatch supplies from the hands of their kind than to snatch them from the zombies, and Fang Rin did not hesitate to defeat all of them.
He didn't kill people, he didn't do good things indiscriminately, but he was too lazy to waste his strength, and when he saw blood, he would attract some strange things to come over, which would be very troublesome.
Although it has only been a few days, he already knows that in this last days, the smell of blood and the sound should be eliminated.
Fang Rin didn't want to get into trouble.
He didn't even use the method of attracting mutated zombies in blood drops anymore to hunt zombies, and what happened in the Pearl Star community made him understand that it was best not to use this method without being prepared.
If you attract something terrible, you may be the one who dies.
The short half-day trip made Fang Rin more aware of the cruelty of the end times in front of him.
It's not just zombies and mutated zombies.
There are so many unknowns in the last days, and there is malice from the human kind, which is enough to set most survivors on the path to death.
