Chapter Twenty-Six: A Sea of Fire
The lotus flower that bore the brunt of the danger felt the danger, and in the eyes of everyone who was amazed, the lotus actually moved!
The petals opened, like a bloody mouth, the stem bent, and the lotus bloomed instantly, and the stamens were covered with fleshy thorns.
Chen Ran gasped, could it be that this lotus flower has become a monster? Want to swallow the Silence in one bite?
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
The Silence collided with the lotus bud, and there was a blunt sound of a blunt object hitting the flesh, and the pointed bow of the ship pierced the petals in an instant.
The speed of the Silence slowed down a little for a moment, and Chen Ran's heart moved, and he sped up again!
The petals were torn, and a white sticky substance flowed out of them, and the stems snapped and spewed out a green liquid.
The whole lotus flower trembled incessantly, as if it were a wounded animal.
The Silence crushed the lotus and broke into the lotus array, and dozens of lotus flowers of the same size opened their buds, and the buds emitted a compelling stench.
Chen Ran turned his head to look, and suddenly his soul was scattered, and there were still human corpses lying in several stamens on the left and right, some of which had been corroded beyond recognition, and only the white bones could be seen.
"This lotus flower is cannibal? Sure enough, plants will mutate too! It's horrible! ”
At this moment, the ship's soul suddenly prompted: "Warning, the hull has been eroded by corrosive liquids, causing damage to the surface of the hull, and the damage degree is twenty percent!" ”
"Warning, the hull was eroded by corrosive liquids, which caused damage to the surface of the hull to a degree of twenty-one percent."
"Warning, the hull has been eroded by corrosive liquids, causing damage to the surface of the hull to the extent of twenty-three percent."
……
There were constant warning messages from the ship's soul in his mind, and seeing that the Silence's corrosion resistance was still not enough, the liquid flowing out of the lotus's body had already posed a danger to the Silence.
As the degree of damage continued to rise, Chen Ran was extremely anxious.
Breaking into this large area of lotus, the speed of the Silence slowed down, and countless lotus leaves came to stop the Silence.
The stems were actually crisscrossed in a regular manner, forming a simple net, trying to cut off Chen Ran's back path.
The Silence is surrounded!
If you don't break out immediately, the shell of the Silence will soon be corroded, and Chen Ran won't be able to run away by then.
What to do?
Chen Ran was so anxious at this time that his whole body was soaked with sweat.
Wei Changfeng and Xiao Jun in the distance couldn't help but clench their fists when they saw the Silence being entangled by the lotus, Chen Ran's life hung by a thread, he had to do something.
"Old Wei, hurry up and tell the brothers to make some Molotov cocktails!"
Xiao Jun suddenly thought of an idea.
Wei Changfeng's eyes lit up, and he secretly scolded himself for how his brain was short-circuited, and why he didn't think of this method.
He immediately instructed his soldiers to make Molotov cocktails from the supplies available on board.
Soon dozens of Molotov cocktails were made, Xiao Jun started the engine, and together with Zhao Mingyu, he approached the lotus with Molotov cocktails.
Coming to a place less than two meters away from the lotus, Xiao Jun shouted loudly: "Brothers, hurry up and light the Molotov cocktail, throw it in, and burn this demon flower!" ”
One by one, the lit Molotov cocktails were thrown over vigorously, and Wei Changfeng filled them with fuel and said to Xiao Jun: "I threw the bottles into the air, you shoot!" ”
Xiao Jun understood what Wei Changfeng meant, and raised his aim without saying much.
"Bang...... Boom...... Bang ......"
A series of gunshots came down, and Xiao Jun actually fired no shots, all of which hit the bottles in the air.
The fuel exploded in mid-air, spilling on all parts of the lotus flower like rain, and was instantly connected by a little fire.
At this moment, that large area of lotus flowers has completely become a sea of fire!
The lotus flower was attacked by the flames, and it hurt a lotus, and the stems and lotus leaves retreated, Chen Ran was overjoyed, and suddenly shook the engine, and the silence number seemed to let out a roar, and finally broke through the layers of obstacles and escaped from the heavens.
"Brother Xiao, Doctor Zhao, you hurry up and rush over while this guy is too busy to take care of himself!" Chen Ran said into the walkie-talkie.
Xiao Jun and Zhao Mingyu didn't talk nonsense, the two ships worked hard and attacked desperately.
The lotus flowers in the sea of fire were burned to the ground, emitting a disgusting stench, the buds also dispersed, and the corpses in the stamens rolled down to the surface of the river, and the whole picture was like a Shura purgatory.
"Huhu...... Finally rushed over! ”
Everyone's faces were filled with excited expressions, the end times were dangerous, and if you can live one more day, you will earn it.
The ship spirit conducted a self-examination of the Silence, and the damage was more than 50%, but fortunately it was the outer shell, and no major parts such as the engine were damaged.
The current shell of the Silence was stained with green or white slime, corroding the shell, emitting white smoke and a foul smell.
Chen Ran felt sick for a while, and turned to greet Xiao Jun and the others.
"Brother Xiao, are you all right?" Chen Ran asked with concern.
"Don't worry, we're all right." Everyone checked and found no injuries.
Zhao Mingyu was stunned when he looked at the large lotus flower, he was a surgeon and also studied biological sciences when he was in medical school.
Zhao Mingyu has always been interested in animals and plants, and occasionally comes to study and research, while sighing at the miracle of the Creator, while thanking nature for its gifts.
But now, Zhao Mingyu is only afraid in his heart, except for horror.
"Dr. Zhao, what did you find?" Chen Ran jumped onto Zhao Mingyu's boat and waved his hand in front of Zhao Mingyu's eyes, thinking that he was scared silly.
Zhao Mingyu came back to his senses, took off his glasses, wiped them with his shirt, and said with a smile: "What can I find?" I just feel that all kinds of things in the last days can't be explained by common sense, and I am very powerless and hesitant. ”
Isn't it? Cognition is overturned, novelty things have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and just accepting it is overwhelming, how can we be relieved?
Wei Changfeng pointed to the silence and asked, "Brother Chen, your ship has been made like this, can you still drive it?" ”
Xiao Jun was also a little worried: "It's really not good, after we go ashore and leave, you can change the boat, and Lao Zhao and I will leave the boat to you." ”
Chen Ran smiled indifferently: "It's okay, just follow what you say, I'll listen to you." ”
The Silence could never be discarded, the shell was damaged and needed materials to repair it, and Chen Ran could just use the ship left by Xiao Jun and Zhao Mingyu to supplement the materials.
The lotus flowers on the water surface were all scorched, and the broken appearance could not be seen at all The ferocity just now, Chen Ran thought about it: There is an heteronucleus in the heart of an animal, and as a mutated plant, it stands to reason that there should also be an heteronucleus.
But I don't know where the heteronucleus of this lotus is hidden?
These lotus flowers act in unison when attacking people, so they can be judged to be homogeneous creatures, and they are no longer the same as the traditional lotus flowers, and the lotus flowers here have only one body.
Then it is very likely that the heterokarysome are hiding underwater, and they are implicated in the body.
Chen Ran raised his eyebrows and muttered, "Did you say that this piece of lotus was burned to death?" ”
Everyone looked at Chen Ran like ghosts: "You don't want to try it if it's dead or not, do you?" ”
Chen Ran sneered, "I don't want to be surrounded again." ”
……
Everyone continued to march, and at a place that was half a day's journey away from the entrance of the Yangtze River, Wei Changfeng asked Xiao Jun and Zhao Mingyu to stop their boats and dock.
"From here, we will go ashore, take the dry road, find our hidden vehicle first, and be able to return to the base in less than two days."
After experiencing several life and death, when parting, Xiao Jun, Zhao Mingyu and Chen Ran were a little reluctant in their hearts.
"Good man, don't be a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, you must say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, Chen Ran, let's meet again!" Xiao Jun clenched his fist and hammered Chen Ran in the chest.
He instructed: "Remember to exercise your body every day, don't forget the killing skills I taught you, your hands are very dexterous, the prosperous era is idle, the troubled times are angry with the knife, when it is time to be decisive, be ruthless, don't have the kindness of a woman." ”
"Brother Xiao, take care!" Chen Ran hugged Xiao Jun fiercely, both of them patted each other's shoulders, and in less than a month, there was a lot of brotherhood between them.
Zhao Mingyu walked up to Chen Ran and said lightly: "I'm not as brave as Lao Xiao, sometimes I'm a little timid, I've been through too much with you for most of the month, and thank you for taking care of me." ”
"Remember the treatment methods I usually tell you, they may come in handy in an emergency, and see you soon!"
Chen Ran nodded seriously and shook hands with Zhao Mingyu to say goodbye.
Finally, it was Wei Changfeng, who respectfully raised his hand at Chen Ran and saluted: "Brother Chen, thank you for standing up at this critical juncture, and I wish you to find your parents and sister as soon as possible." ”
"Furong City is located in the southwest of the country, and the Southwest Military Region is on the side, where is the southwest base, you can seek refuge nearby after you find your family, or you can go to the base of the Southeast Liangjiang Military Region to find me, although my ability is limited, there is no problem in arranging for your family to live in the base."
"We have left most of the supplies on the ship for you, I hope you have a safe journey."
Everyone waved goodbye to Chen Ran on the shore.
Chen Ran stood solemnly, waved his hand and shouted: "Have a safe journey!" ”
When Wei Changfeng left with everyone, Chen Ran's heart suddenly felt a little empty, and he was alone again!
It doesn't matter, you can go it alone!
Chen Ran returned to the Silence and immediately called up the ship soul to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Silence.
In addition to the fact that the shell was damaged to a whopping fifty-eight percent, Chen Ran also discovered a major change in the Silence Talent Tree.
Silence used to be in the 20% of its second talent, but now it has advanced a lot, reaching 45%.
How could such a thing happen?
Chen Ran suddenly thought about it, could it be that after the battle, he would also increase his talent experience?
It must have been so, the lotus was a mutated plant, and at the same time damaged the hull, and such a fierce battle allowed the Silence to use all its abilities to the extreme, so it grew.
This is just like people, only by constantly stimulating their potential and breaking through their limits can they continue to make progress.
Chen Ran was in a good mood, swept away the haze of his brother's departure, drove Zhao Mingyu's ship over, and was next to the Silence to decompose and absorb the materials.
