Chapter 4: Ambush

Wei Wei waved his torch incessantly, calmly repelling wave after wave of rattan attacks. He slowly backed away, slowly approaching the survivors' camp.

Coldly, several vines suddenly emerged from the ground and wrapped tightly around his legs. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly fell from his horse to stabilize the next plate. Without stopping, he once again forced back the many rattans that were rushing to attack.

"Damn it." He struggled to lift his legs to get rid of the vines on the ground, but found that he couldn't break free. The vines on the ground seemed to be very different from the vines that were constantly attacking him in mid-air, they only wrapped tightly around his legs, but they did not actively attack him.

He tugged a few times, and found that these vines drilled out of the ground were full of toughness and elasticity, and they were grasped in his hand like cowhide bands, and it was very laborious to pull.

With a "poof", a rattan took advantage of the gap between Wei Mi's head and pulling the vines on his legs, and knocked out the torch in his hand with lightning speed. Many rattans swarmed up, and they were about to tie Wei Yi to the cold.

"Get down!" A thunderous sound came suddenly, and Wei Yi immediately fell to the ground without thinking about it.

With a whoosh, something flew over his head, forcing back a large patch of rattan.

"When, when, when..."The sound of metal being struck kept coming. Many footsteps surrounded Wei Yu at the same time, protecting him in the middle.

Someone quickly swung a knife to cut the vines on his legs, and when he pulled him up, he quickly retreated.

"Good brother, we meet again." A familiar voice sounded in Wei Mi's ears, and Wei Mi turned his head to look at it in disbelief.

A familiar face, a familiar military uniform, and a pair of equally familiar and powerful hands, who could it be if it wasn't the officer?

"You're still alive?" Wei Yi said with a little surprise.

The officer nodded, pulled him back, and said, "I'm hard." Let's get out of here. ”

Wei Yi nodded, and as the officers quickly retreated, behind them were a dozen soldiers with shields. The servicemen were divided into two teams. A team held shields in both hands, blocking the vines in mid-air. The sound of "dang, dang, dang" came from the shield from time to time, and one bulge after another appeared visibly on the inside of the shield.

The other team of people is a sharp lightsaber in each hand, the sword body is glowing with light, all the way cutting the vines that emerge from the ground, those cowhide band-like vines, in front of these lightsabers, like paper paste, "brush, brush, brush..." are neatly cut like leeks.

The players on both sides of the team waited for an opportunity to attack from time to time, cutting vines that pierced from mid-air one after another, reducing the pressure on the outermost defensive team.

They retreated slowly and methodically, until they were still a few meters away from the place where the survivors gathered, and Wei Yi noticed that there were many soldiers here.

These servicemen are uniformly dressed and have almost the same weapon configuration. One of them held shields to block the rattan attack, and the other team held lightsabers and constantly swung their swords to cut the thorny rattans. The survivors were guarded in the center by these soldiers, and they were extremely safe.

"Uncle, come here quickly." An immature voice shouted loudly towards Wei Yi.

Uncle? Wei Yi was a little stunned, he was obviously still very young, at most he was his brother.

The officer pushed Wei Yi and nodded at him: "Go there, it's safer, and leave the rest to us." You're good. We'll talk later. ”

Wei Yi nodded, and retreated into the circle of survivors, escorted by the soldiers. The little girl pulled her father, the person who was desperately saved by Wei Yi, and squeezed to Wei Yi's side. She used her other hand to hold Wei Mi's big hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Wei Mi would be gone.

Wei Yi smiled at them, touched the girl's head, and said with a smile: "You can call me Brother Wei, my uncle is still quite far away from me." ”

The little girl looked at her father with some bewilderment. Her father shook his head with a smile, pointed at Wei Yi, and then pointed at his own chin, and said, "Brother, you have a big beard, you look bigger than me." ”

Wei Yi stretched out his hand and touched it, only to find that his beard had grown very long, as if he hadn't paid attention to it for half a month, and he could almost grab a handful with his hand. How long have you been unconscious? He thought for a moment, but he couldn't remember anything.

"What's wrong?" The little girl's father saw that Wei Yu suddenly stopped talking, but was just pondering, and asked with concern.

"Oh, nothing, just wondering how we get out of here." Wei Yi didn't know what to say all of a sudden, so he could only divert the topic.

Before the little girl's father could give an answer, Wei Yi heard the answer he wanted to know.

The first team immediately escorted them to the safe zone, and the second team blocked them. Armored vehicle fire cover. The officer loudly laid out the retreat mission. Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

The powerful artillery fire of the "boom boom" armored vehicles and the dense fire that followed them temporarily suppressed the attack of the rattan. But Wei Yi clearly saw that the damage of those bullets and artillery to the rattan was extremely limited. The huge vine in the distance seemed to be unconcerned about this, and continued to stretch out its vine to intercept the group.

Wei Yi followed the crowd into the retreating armored car, jolting all the way, speeding away into the distance.

"What the hell is this?" Wei Yi sat in the carriage and turned his head to the little girl's father and asked.

"I don't know, a month ago, this thing suddenly came out of the ground. We were camping in the wilderness, and her motherβ€”" The little girl's father was halfway through his sentence, when he suddenly couldn't say any more, just hugged his daughter tightly, and big tears slowly rolled down his cheeks.

"Mom was dragged away by that monster. She was dragged away to save me, and it was all my fault. The little girl hugged her father, buried her head in her father's arms, and wept lowly.

The smell of grief permeated the entire carriage, and many people had lost their loved ones.

"He was right in front of my eyes, and I couldn't do anything about it." Some people couldn't cry.

"I, I shouldn't have run at the time, I should have pulled her." Some wept bitterly with regret.

Wei Yi looked at these people, not knowing what to say. He never saw his parents, and he seemed to have been in a coma for more than half a month. I just hope they're okay.

Suddenly, with a "boom", the armored car that Wei Yi was riding in was knocked out of the air. He hit his head on the inner wall of the armored car and almost fainted in pain.

"Damn, this thing has become a sperm, and it has already set a trap. Everyone quickly got out of the car, two teams to protect, and one team to snipe. The officer's angry voice came from the armored car's radio communicator.

Everyone scrambled to squeeze out the armored car. Wei Yi was supported by the little girl's father and drilled out of the armored car. Blood was bleeding from the corners of his mouth, his forehead was broken, and blood was slowly flowing down his cheeks.

Outside there was a mess, and all the armored vehicles almost broke down. A lot of people were injured. The little girl's father supported Wei Yi with one hand and his daughter with the other, and fled into the distance with the crowd.

Wei Yi was groggy and struggling to walk by herself, but was tightly supported by the little girl's father. The latter said to him: "You saved my life, I won't leave you, my name is Shen Cheng, what about you?" ”

"Wei Yi" Wei Yi replied with a slight dizziness.

"Brother Wei, you are a good person, this is my daughter, Shen Xiaoman, in case I have a three-long and two-short, you can take care of her for me, okay?"

Wei Yi looked sideways at Shen Cheng, was silent for a while, and said with certainty: "You will be fine, we will be fine." ”

"It's different, it's intelligent." Shen Cheng suddenly said this thoughtlessly.

Before Wei Yi could understand why Shen Cheng suddenly said this, he heard the earth in all directions, and suddenly there was a tearing sound. The earth is constantly trembling and cracking. The ground was visibly covered with cobweb-like cracks. Immediately after, the whole earth cracked.

Many, many rattans came up from the depths of the earth. They are like wild dogs that have sprinkled joy, stabbing when they see people, and pricking people when they meet them. There were even rattans like pythons, which instantly wrapped around a person, and dragged them into the cracks, leaving only the person's short and terrible screams.

Countless soldiers didn't have time to take out their shields and lightsabers before they were pierced by the rattan that suddenly burst out. The officer huddled in a corner with a dozen men, struggling to hold on, moving slowly, hoping to save some.

Wei Yi and Shen Cheng protected the little girl and ran all the way forward, trying to find a safe place to hide. However, where is the safe place?

"Ahh A rattan pierced his thigh, and blood spurted out instantly.

Wei Yi didn't think about it, grabbed something with his hand, grabbed the rattan, and smashed it hard.

The rattan was in pain and immediately retracted. Shen Cheng covered his wounds, unable to stand up in pain, blood gurgling down his fingers. Shen Xiaoman clutched his shirt tightly, helpless and frightened. She didn't cry, but her eyes were full of fear of losing her father.

Wei Yi didn't bother to check Shen Cheng's injuries, he looked down at the thing in his hand, it was actually a sword hilt.

"Brother Wei, if you take Xiao Man and leave here quickly, I will definitely not be able to escape. I'll hold you off for a while. Take her with you and get out of here. Shen Cheng laboriously tore a few strips of cloth off his coat and bandaged them around the wound.

"None of us will be fine." Wei Yi checked the hilt of the sword and pressed a button on the side of the hilt.

Several beams of light converged from the air onto the hilt of the sword, instantly forming a lightsaber. Wei Yi used his body to block Shen Cheng and Shen Xiaoman. There was a sparkle in his eyes. He will not run and cannot escape. The worry and fear in Shen Xiaoman's eyes were just like the worry about his parents in his heart.

His parents no longer knew that they were still in this world, and he could not let another person suffer the pain of losing his loved one again. At this moment, he just wants to be a guardian angel and protect the two people behind him.
