Chapter 86: Climbing Plants
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
In the command car of the reinforced regiment, the cadres of the regiment gathered together, but everyone's faces were not very good-looking.
"The two classes that went to Chuzhou to explore have not returned to the present; The two classes that went to Nanjing to explore also showed no signs of returning. It's already two o'clock, and according to the distance, I should have been back half an hour ago. We need to make decisions early. ”
Tao Jinyong looked at the map hanging on the wall of the carriage and said in a deep voice.
Chief of Staff Li Yao replied: "There are three options that can be provided now, first, set up camp and send more troops to find the pathfinder team; second, a part of the troops were divided to search, and the large army still set off for Nanjing; Third, don't wait, go to Nanjing first, and then sit back and wait for them to meet in Nanjing. ”
"The situation in Nanjing is unclear, and it is not appropriate to move lightly." Political Commissar Xu Kai shook his head, "I support the first option, camp on the spot, and find people first." ”
"That's what I mean, we have lost a lot of people along the way, only less than 3,800 people, we can't sacrifice more people, everyone can't give up." Kuai Xuhui said.
"Zhou Yan, what do you suggest?" Tao Jinyong habitually asked Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan groaned: "Send someone to find it in the direction of Chuzhou, and if you find it, you will go to Nanjing together, and if you can't find it, you will give up and go to Nanjing as well." We have come so far that it is imperative to enter Nanjing. The night in the wild is not safe and we have to find buildings as shelter. ”
The proposal was briefly discussed and responded.
Zhou Yan personally participated in the search, he has the right eyeball spectrometer group Lv1, the ear wheel radar group Lv1, the all-information tactical ring, the ability to search and discover dangers, no one can compare to him.
A platoon of troops, more than 30 people, riding in several off-road vehicles, avoided the potholed roads, and quickly galloped in the direction of Chuzhou City.
Zhou Yan sat in the passenger seat, holding a pair of binoculars, observing the situation in the distance from time to time, and in the same car as him was Wu Longqiang, a deformed man with iron armor and steel fists, and two other evolutionaries.
"Zhou Tuan, have you found anything?" Wu Longqiang asked.
"Not yet." Zhou Yan put down the binoculars, and what he saw was just lush weeds, when humans died on a large scale, the world lost control, and weeds quickly occupied the lost ground.
He used infrared light to find targets for living creatures, but there were only a few small animals, and he didn't see large mutant monsters, or group mutated monsters.
Didn't see another world either.
"Where are we now?"
"Judging from the navigation, we are now almost at the waist shop town, and there are more than seven kilometers to the center of Chuzhou."
The distance was shortening little by little, but Zhou Yanxin felt vaguely uneasy, as if he felt a very slight danger in the outside environment.
"Xiaohu, slow down the car, inform the next few shifts, and let them be careful."
Xiaohu is the platoon commander of the third platoon of the first battalion, a very young evolutionary, who worked as a guard in the garrison area before the end of the day.
He immediately contacted the whole platoon, slowed down to 20 kilometers per hour, and slowly approached the urban area of Chuzhou. When passing through Meipu Village, the surrounding plants begin to flourish, and various climbing plants entangle the roadside trees, blooming bewitching blue and white flowers.
Except for the sound of the car engine, there is no other noise, and it seems quiet.
Zhou Yan suddenly shouted: "Stop!" Notify the whole row, everyone stops, and reverse! ”
"What's wrong, Zhou Tuan?" Wu Longqiang didn't know why.
"Reverse first, go backwards, keep retreating." When the car retreated more than 100 meters or so, Zhou Yan asked the three-row convoy to stop, then pushed the car door, came to the road, looked at the lush climbing plants in front of him, and was silent.
"Zhou Tuan, what's the situation?" Xiaohu, the leader of the third platoon, walked up to him and asked.
Zhou Yan said: "It's very wrong, these plants are very wrong. ”
"Something is wrong?" Xiaohu took the telescope and looked at it carefully, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the flowers are more beautiful, does Zhou Tuan think they are poisonous?" ”
Wu Longqiang also said: "I can't see if it's poisonous or not, I feel that these are like morning glories, are they mutated, have we come to the new border line of another world?" ”
Zhou Yan didn't answer, just took the automatic rifle in his hand and aimed at these mutated climbing plants.
The light in his right eyeball flickered, and when he scanned it in the infrared band, the climbing plants and the entwined street trees presented a very different picture.
Street trees are dull in color and emit very little heat, but climbing plants are fiery red and emit a lot of heat to the outside.
This kind of heat can already catch up with the thermal radiation emitted by humans.
It's not at all what plants can emit out.
Dada!
The automatic rifle burst into flames in Zhou Yan's hand, and it shot at the climbing plants. When the bullet hits the dense climbing plant, the climbing plant, which was originally at rest, comes to life like a snake, twisting the rattan and dancing wildly to avoid the bullet.
There are also some rattans, which begin to extend in the direction of the bullet, with a snake-like crawling trajectory and a whip-like dance.
After a shuttle of bullets, it caused such an unusual commotion.
The three rows of people, including Zhou Yan himself, were also taken aback by the crazy dancing rattan, and hurriedly retreated, until they saw that the rattan was restricted by the length limit and did not continue to extend, so they stabilized the formation.
"Damn, what the hell!" One of the fighters exclaimed.
"Man-eating tree!"
"It's definitely not a plant on the earth, it's a plant from another world!"
"No wonder Zhou Tuan said to be careful, these plants are too dangerous, I'm sure that the two squads in the second row were caught by these plants from another world!"
The little tiger platoon leader gritted his teeth and asked, "Zhou Tuan, what should I do?" ”
Zhou Yan immediately gave an order: "Try throwing a few grenades, throw them farther away from the side of the road, and see if the plants on the periphery are all mutated in this way, and also, contact the walkie-talkie to see if the people in the second row are alive." ”
The walkie-talkie shouted, but no one responded.
The grenades were thrown, and the rattans of those climbing plants, immediately caught the grenades, and then exploded in the canopy, causing an even greater frantic commotion.
The entire forest is full of climbing plants that can move freely.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan pondered for a few seconds and ordered: "Get in the car, let's take a detour and walk around this forest to see if we can find a place to enter Chuzhou City." If it can't be found, it means that the entire city of Chuzhou has become a different world, and the soldiers of the second platoon have also been killed. ”
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
There were two squads in the second row, and about twenty people came to explore the way, but it was conceivable that they didn't have Zhou Yan's eyes, so they couldn't see the abnormalities of these plants, so they plunged into it.
What the consequences will be, you can imagine.
Walking along the rural paths and around the edge of the jungle of climbing plants, you can see that these plants have occupied a large area of the surrounding villages and trees, and stretches all the way to the Tianqian Expressway in the east. The Tianqian Expressway passes by the suburbs of Chuzhou, and the climbing plant jungle also rubs the Tianqian Expressway.
Judge against the map.
Basically, the entire eastern and southern suburbs of Chuzhou urban area have been occupied by climbing plant jungles.
After only driving at high speed in Tianqian for a while, Zhou Yan gave up continuing to explore, he had already obtained the desired result, this must be a different world, a different world that has descended in the entire Chuzhou City, a different world full of demonic climbing plants.
"Demon Vine World!"
Zhou Yan named this other world.
"Lao Hu, pony, they are dead...... "Xiaohu platoon commander looked out of the car window sullenly, "If I come back one day, I must blow up the demon vine world and kill these murderous demon vines!" ”
