Chapter 274: Palpitations
"Wow!"
"Ugh!"
Rogue A and B struggled to get up, and then an unknown mixture of solid and liquid was spat out of their mouths, and the two of them couldn't help but bend down, holding their hands against the wall, and constantly making painful vomiting sounds.
The two of them first experienced the turmoil of the car rolled up by tree branches, then Li Jian carried them and jumped from a four-story building, and then they were carried by Li Jian like a sandbag, constantly dodging left and right, and turning dizzy in the high speed.
The two of them had already felt their stomachs tumbling because of this, and they should have been unable to help vomiting when Li Jian was carrying them, but now they were able to endure it until this time, and they had persisted for quite a long time.
After the unknown mixture in the stomach was spit out by the two of them, the two of them wiped the corners of their mouths with their clothes as if they were prostrating, and collapsed weakly against the wall, looking like they had exhausted all their strength.
As for Li Jian, he looked at the fork in the road where he escaped with the two of them before, even though his heart was no longer beating, he still gasped for breath, as if he wanted to take back the scattered souls.
That's right, Li Jian is still apprehensive about the scene just now.
At this moment, the ten sharp claws of his hands are still reflecting a terrifying cold glow in the noon sun, his face is also covered with a delicate mask covered with strange black lines, and there is an evil black qi entwined on his body, and now he still maintains the state of using the power of the claws and the power of the mask. These two powers, because of the moment of life and death just now, are now perfectly fused, so that Li Jian can use the power of claws and the power of the mask at the same time, which is another breakthrough in his ability to transform into a zombie, a fundamental improvement in strength.
It's a pity that now he. He didn't have the heart to look at this change in his body now, and his whole mind was still haunting the scene just now.
Almost...... It's just a little bit ...... I'm going to die here......
As soon as this thought appeared, Pu firmly occupied his entire mind, and Li Jian realized for the first time that he was so close to death. From the beginning of the apocalypse to the present, Li Jian has not faced life and death crises, he has encountered all kinds of dangers, but like this time, it is so close. The feeling that he really felt like he couldn't live was the first time he felt it. The sense of danger from the huge mutant tree still lingered in his heart, making him can't help but think about it, and he can't help but palpitate.
After a long time, Li Jian closed his eyes, took a deep breath like a human being, and then adjusted his emotions, and at this time, the rogue A and B seemed to have regained a little strength. The two of them stood up trembling and trembling, like unsteady drunks running out of a bar in the middle of the night.
I saw a strange wriggling of Li Jian's body, and he withdrew the power of his claws and the power of the mask, after coming back to his senses. He finally noticed the change in his body. The simultaneous use of these two powers is indeed a proof of his ability to transform into a zombie, and deep down in his heart, Li Jian is still happy for this change in himself. Although most of his emotions were still haunted by the escape from life and death just now, it could not hide the reality of the change in his abilities.
Now he can use the power of the claw and the power of the mask at the same time. This undoubtedly made his survivability jump again, but he also clearly felt that using these two powers at the same time would not consume much of his time to transform into a zombie. Suppose that when he is usually in the normal zombie form, the rate of consuming transformation time is 1, and after using the power of claws, the rate of consuming transformation time is 1.5, while the power of giants is 1.7, and the power of masks is 2, then now that he uses both the power of claws and the power of masks, then Li Jian feels that the rate at which he consumes transformation time is about 3. Although it seems that using two powers at the same time is not simply adding up the rates of using these two powers separately, but this kind of consumption is not a joke, if you really want to keep it like this, then it won't be long before Li Jian's first transformation time will run out today, which is not a good thing for the current crisis-ridden end times.
Li Jian, who had changed back into the form of an ordinary zombie, looked at the hooligan A and B who were still staggering when he walked, and seemed to be about to fall to the ground if he was not careful, and asked in a loud voice.
"Are you two alright?"
The hooligans A and B supported each other, as if they wanted to wave their hands to Li Jian to signal that they were okay, but this movement seemed to make their stomachs twitch and churn, but because the disgusting mixture in it had been spit out by them just now, they could only retch violently, looking very painful.
In order to prevent the terrifying branches from attacking out of thin air again, Li Jian directly used the power of giants to take the two away from this place, and then found a place where there were no zombies and looked clean and safe, and took a break here.
"Boss...... That twig...... It's really terrifying...... It's even more terrifying than zombies......"
Rogue A said with palpitations, and the two of them were really deeply touched by this. After all, Li Jian was carrying the two of them desperately, and the two of them were in a state of head back and feet facing forward, although they were bumpy and swaying along the way to the point that they had no soul, but they could still see that the speed was extremely fast, and nothing could resist the terrifying thick branches that it penetrated. Therefore, the two of them naturally deeply felt the horror of the huge mutant tree, so the crotch of the two of them was still wet, and there was a faint smell of urine coming out under the crotch of the two.
Compared with the hearts of the two, Li Jian, who came back after adjusting his mood, was thinking about why the thick and indestructible terror branch just now was motionless at the last moment. With a gap of just ten centimeters, it could penetrate Li Jian's body in an instant, bringing him back to become another pitiful collection of corpses in its huge canopy.
"If I'm not mistaken, when you get there, it's already the limit of what it can reach......"
Li Jian thought about it, and finally felt that this guess was more reliable. Because Li Jian had estimated that in that place just now, the straight-line distance from the huge mutant tree was almost a hundred meters. If the attack range of this huge mutant tree is a radius of one hundred meters, it is already quite terrifying and huge, and if it is combined with its huge body, it is not too strange to have such an attack range, but it is still a bit beyond Li Jian's cognition.
Li Jian didn't believe that the branches of this huge mutant tree could stretch indefinitely, like those sci-fi movies before the end of the world, and could stretch endlessly. If that's the case, then neither zombies nor humans will have to do their best to survive in this world. Because no matter where you hide, you will eventually be found by this stout branch that can stretch infinitely, and then become another casualty hanging from the canopy.
"If you say that its attack range is about 100 meters in radius...... So why didn't it attack us when we drove into its territory? Rather, it waited until we came to it before it began to attack...... In addition, if its attacks are indiscriminate, that is, whether the opponent is a human, a zombie, or even a dead thing such as a car, it will attack without exception. So why did it attack me desperately when I controlled those ordinary zombies to intercept that branch......
"Could it be...... Is it because of my ability to transform into a zombie......"
Li Jian's expression was solemn, and on that thick and terrifying branch, he vaguely felt that the huge mutant tree was a touch of vague malice specifically aimed at him. Only in this way can Li Jian's doubts be partially solved, in addition to the other part being involved in other factors, Li Jian also feels that if there is any difference between himself and the hooligan A and B, it is that he has the ability to transform into a zombie, and they don't have it.
Since he couldn't fully understand this terrifying giant mutant tree, Li Jian thought to himself, then don't worry about it. Because, if he doesn't die, he won't die, he won't be stupid enough to step into the attack range of that huge mutant tree again, if he steps into it again this time, it is likely that the gods will not be able to save him.
Li Jian took out the map of the province that was still hidden by his hands at the critical moment just now, and then found a pen to draw a large red cross in the place where the huge mutated tree was located on the map, and used it as the center of the circle to draw a large red circle within a radius of about 100 meters, which was used to warn others not to approach this area before returning to the island in the middle of the lake.
There are some things that I would rather not understand than risk trying with my life. This truth is not absolutely correct, but at least for now, Li Jian's attitude towards that huge mutant tree is like this.
After the hooligans A and B recovered, Li Jian and the others confirmed their location again, and continued to move towards the dock next to the inland transportation river that Lin Ying had guided them before. Li Jian estimated the distance and the rest of the day, and hurriedly found a new car nearby, striving to get there before dark. Then tomorrow morning to look for the guns and ammunition that I don't know exist, this is Li Jian's plan, and the hooligans A and B have no objections, so a few people set off again.
If you really want to say it, that is, this time, Rogue A drove more carefully than last time, this is to avoid the situation of the huge mutant tree he met just now, after all, no one can say, will there be somewhere, such a terrifying mutant plant will emerge again, after all, it is now the world of plants, what will happen, it is really unknown.
