Chapter Twenty-Five: Strange Plants
This terrible thought popped up in Chen Ran's mind, and he was immediately denied by himself.
The mutant tiger is too powerful, he can't see it enough at all, and when facing the mutant tiger, Chen Ran felt a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart, which was out of biological instinct.
Hopefully, there will be a chance to capture the mutant tiger's heteronucleus in the future.
Chen Ran and the three of them walked through the street and came to the place where the kamikaze team was hiding, and he said loudly, "We are here to help you, and there is no malice. ”
Wei Changfeng walked out from behind the cover, put away the dagger in his hand, and saluted Chen Ran, but his eyes stared directly behind Chen Ran.
"Old Xiao?"
Wei Changfeng suddenly became excited, his hands kept trembling, his face was cloudy, he walked quickly, and at the same time said in his mouth: "Old Xiao? Is that you? You're going to say something. ”
Chen Ran stepped aside and looked at Wei Changfeng and Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun walked out from behind Chen Ran, he didn't expect that what he saved was actually his former comrades-in-arms.
"Old Wei, it's me, Xiao Jun!" Xiao Jun stood up straight and looked at Wei Changfeng in front of him for half a minute.
The nervous faces of the two immediately stretched, stretched out their arms, and hugged each other fiercely.
"I didn't expect you to save me in a predicament, and I owe you a favor again."
"I haven't been in touch for several years, and I can't imagine that you actually arrived in Shuangjiang City? Are you coming out of the base? ”
Wei Changfeng nodded: "I came out on a mission on the orders of the special commander. ”
Xiao Jun was puzzled: "Special commander? ”
Wei Changfeng explained: "When the end of the world struck, the Liangjiang Military Region became a special command committee, also known as the special management committee, and the committee is now in charge of everything and is responsible for everything in the base. ”
"Truth be told, I'm looking for a base, seeking asylum, where is the base?"
Wei Changfeng said: "Most of the bases in the country are stationed in military regions, building a self-contained defense system, but several military regions have been attacked by zombies and mutant monsters. The Liangjiang Military Region, as a base in the southeastern region, is still operating normally. ”
Xiao Jun and Zhao Mingyu were overjoyed, they had worked hard to find the base, and now that they had met Wei Changfeng, it would be much better as long as he led the way.
"Let me introduce, Wei Changfeng, my former comrade-in-arms in the army, iron buddy, Chen Ran college student, surgeon Zhao Mingyu." Xiao Jun introduced each other.
Wei Changfeng, Chen Ran, and Zhao Mingyu both shook hands: "Wei Changfeng, the captain of the kamikaze squad of the Southeast Liangjiang Military Region." ”
When Chen Ran shook hands with Wei Changfeng, he felt that the calluses on his palms were very heavy, and the knuckles were deformed.
After the kamikaze team was saved, the tense nerves of the team members relaxed, their senses returned, and pain and hunger swept through their bodies.
Chen Ran and the others had dry food on them, and hurriedly handed it to Wei Changfeng.
Wei Changfeng cast a grateful look, and a group of people repaired for half an hour first.
"Old Wei, have you completed your mission, when will you return to the base?" Xiao Jun and Wei Changfeng sat together, talking about the current form while reminiscing about the past.
Wei Changfeng took a bite of dry food: "Let me tell you straight, my mission this time is to come out to repair the communication base station, especially satellite communication, the country's southeast, northwest, and middle five major bases have been lost for half a month, and the commanders of the committee instructed that they must be repaired." ”
"It stands to reason that the base of the military region should have its own communication base station, all of which are military, what are you doing in Shuangjiang City? Civilian communication equipment is simply unusable, and it's the opposite direction. ”
Wei Changfeng said dejectedly: "The experts in the base also know this truth, but they still haven't repaired the equipment of the base after spending two whole weeks, so they have to send us out to see if we can solve this problem from another angle." ”
At this time, Chen Ran walked over, sat down beside Xiao Jun, and said, "Captain Wei, you see the zombies and abominable monsters running around the streets, these things are beyond the scope of our cognition, then there must be something that our current technology can't explain." ”
"Let's blame the biological mutation on the virus for the time being, so how to explain the fog in Shuangjiang City and the base communication equipment that can't be repaired? Is there something else that is disturbing the order of the whole world? ”
"The experts in the base just can't find the reason, we humans seem to be trapped by an invisible net, and no matter how much we struggle, it's just in vain."
"After the repair, I will return to the base immediately, and last reported what happened in Shuangjiang City last time, the Destruction Sect occupied the city, scourge the scattered people, and the biological mutation continued to accelerate, and the degree of mutation was greatly increased."
Chen Ran looked at Zhao Mingyu and Xiao Jun and asked Wei Changfeng, "Why doesn't the base want those people who are left outside to pick it up?" ”
Wei Changfeng's expression was gloomy: "Why don't the chiefs want to, but ...... The base is now overcrowded, the food can only barely support, and the materials are also very scarce, just half a month ago, the base is still vigorously cultivating, and the weather has not completely cooled down before planting some food. ”
Wei Changfeng patted Xiao Jun on the shoulder: "But don't worry, I will definitely bring the three of you into the base." ”
Chen Ran shook his head and said, "No, I won't go to the base with you." ”
Wei Changfeng was stunned: "You don't go to the base?" So where do you go? ”
"I'm going to find my parents and sister. If I don't find them, I'm not sure, even if I live in the base, I'm still surviving. Chen Ran was very resolute.
Xiao Jun suddenly said: "Chen Ran, there must be a plane in the base, wouldn't it be much faster for you to take a plane to Furong City, you can get there in a few hours, it is countless times more convenient than you take a boat, and it is also much safer." ”
Chen Ran looked at Wei Changfeng, who wanted to speak and stopped, and still shook his head: "That's a plane from the military region base, how can it be possible to fly for me, a little-known little person?" Isn't it, Captain Wei? ”
Wei Changfeng looked embarrassed and "coughed" a few times to cover himself, although he was the captain of the special operations force, he still did not have too high authority in terms of mobilizing resources.
The current operation mode of the base is the same as that of the Destruction Sect guarding the urban area of Shuangjiang City: anyone entering or leaving the base must be approved by the highest leadership, the Special Command Committee, otherwise they will not be allowed to pass.
Chen Ran is very self-aware, how can ordinary grass people He De let the bigwigs of the military region base open the door of convenience?
Don't expect anything from others, but from yourself!
After half an hour of recuperation, all the kamikaze soldiers had regained some of their spirits, and they had gathered their equipment and lined up to get ready to go.
"Take our boat now, the waterway is safer now, and we will make plans when we leave the city."
Xiao Jun discussed with Wei Changfeng and asked the soldiers to get on the boat.
Xiao Jun and Zhao Mingyu's boat was big enough to fit nine people, and Chen Ran's Silence was at the front, exploring the way for them.
The fog still did not disperse, although Chen Ran had the blessing of the alien nucleus, and his various sensory abilities had improved a lot, but it was also limited, and he did not dare to drive the speed of the Silence too fast.
Finally leaving the city, Chen Ran watched the buildings on both sides of the river bank becoming more and more scarce, and his mood was much happier.
As the ship left the city and gradually walked out of the fog, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, at least the Cult of Destruction would not be able to catch up.
In front of it is the mouth where it converges with the Yangtze River, Chen Ran's eyes are full of green, something is wrong, why is the river there covered with plants?
"Brother Xiao, lend me your telescope."
Chen Ran held up the binoculars and looked at it, and was shocked that the place where the Yangtze River and the Jialin River converge was full of oversized lotuses.
The budding lotus flower is the size of a round table, and if it is in full bloom, at least a few people can lie down in the middle.
The key is that there is not only this one, but dozens of them on the river, and oversized lotus leaves are spread all over the river, blocking the waterway in disguise.
Wei Changfeng also walked to the bow of the boat, and also observed it with a telescope for a moment, and was shocked in his heart: "Why did the lotus flowers here grow so big?" A lotus leaf is the size of a third of a basketball court, can plants also mutate? ”
Several people got together to discuss countermeasures.
"We are less than fifty meters away from the lotus, and there are currently two plans, the first one is to break through, but we don't know what the hell this lotus is, I always feel tired."
"Second, take a detour and take a dry road, but then the speed is full, and I haven't found a car yet, and I'm afraid it will take several days to return to the base."
Wei Changfeng said calmly.
Everyone is inclined to the second option, after all, safety first, and there is a lesson from the mutant tiger, no one knows if the lotus in front of them will attack people.
Chen Ran clenched his fists and said, "I'll go and test the temptation!" Don't move yet! ”
Wei Changfeng can take the dry road, but Chen Ran can't, taking the dry road is tantamount to abandoning the Silence, if there is no Silence, Chen Ran doesn't know if he can reach Furong City alive.
Therefore, Chen Ran must take the waterway, and if he wants to take the waterway, he must break through the lotus.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
Lao Tzu has the black technology of the ship soul and the super silence, and he still doesn't believe that he has broken through your lotus?
Chen Ran jumped into the cab, put his hands on the operation panel, and the silence number responded to Chen Ran's thoughts, and started with a "boom, boom".
"The steel plate of the cabin is lowered and started at full speed!"
The Silence reached its highest speed in a very short time, like an enraged bull rushing towards the Lotus River.
The pointed bow of the ship seems to be like a bullet, plunging headlong into the opponent's body!
"Chen Ran, this kid is too impulsive, he can't even pull it!" Xiao Jun was so anxious that his eyes were fixed on the front.
Wei Changfeng somewhat appreciated Chen Ran's courage to fight, a hot-blooded man, cowardly, just do it!
Getting closer and closer to the lotus, Chen Ran seemed to see the appearance of the lotus flower clearly.
Whether it is a green lotus, a pink-white lotus, or a green stem, the surface looks like skin.
Beneath the branches and leaves are flowing blood vessels, which are filled with green liquid.
