Chapter 51: Captured

In fact, this tree is not a "tree" in the true sense of the word, in fact, it evolved from zombies. The Mercuryians had organized a lot of resistance battles to fight the zombies, and the pile of bones was the product of the humans who killed the zombies and piled them up and burned the corpses.

But at that time, one of the zombies crawled out of the tomb, and the roots of a big tree were left in its body, and after it died, due to too many corpses, the roots of the tree were retained, and the virus was too tenacious to survive and began to hide in the roots, so that the roots were hidden in the rotting flesh and blood, absorbing the nutrients (fertilizer) of these dead corpses and began to thrive.

Over time, the mutated tree began to hunt humans and zombies, capturing them, sucking their bodily fluids with tentacles that resemble suction cups, and then placing their corpses under its own rhizomes for fertilizer.

Is this still a tree? After Relo found out that it was a bleeding tree, he was already deeply suspicious.

Boom, boom, the roots of the big tree are surging like a Hollywood blockbuster, and those roots are less than a small grappling hook, once they are caught, you seem to be hooked by thousands of wires, even if you are broken free again, you will be stripped of a piece of skin, not to mention this terrible virus, who knows if it will infect yourself?

Lei Luo slowly retreated, but every time the roots of the tree grabbed him, he quickly slashed out, and the silver blade flashed with cold light to cut off the tentacles of the opponent, and fell to the ground in pieces.

Roar~! The tree was in pain, but it was even more determined to capture the prey, which had been hungry for too long and needed this food to replenish its nutrients.

Lei Luo retreated cautiously, and the big tree followed fearlessly, and he couldn't help but spit and spat at the mouth, wondering how to deal with this tree!

"Be careful!" A female voice suddenly came from the corner behind him.

Lei Luo turned his head to look, and found a woman looking at him in rags, her face was covered by stains, and she couldn't see it clearly.

"It's coming!" The woman screamed, and then suddenly a dive jumped onto the bus, holding two grenades in her hands.

Lei Luo hurriedly turned his head, only to find that those roots had rushed to him like fangs.

"Nima!" Lei Luo instinctively bent down, and with a stroke of the long knife, cut off a few more of those roots, and then a short body dived, and his left hand had already taken out a throat cutter and quickly slashed the remaining roots that were close at hand.

Poof, he sat on the ground, but saw more tentacles trying to crawl on his own, like a monstrous ant team.

"Hurry back!" The girl had already jumped up from the bus, and the grenade's tab had been ripped off, and then she threw it into the mouth of the tree with its mouth wide open.

Lei Luo didn't think about it, kicked his feet back, pushed back with both hands on the ground, and just fell back, nervously pulling away from those roots.

"Get out of the way!" The girl threw away the grenade and immediately jumped out of the car, then pulled up Relo and rolled over and hid behind a car.

Rumble~! With a loud bang, the broken roots of the plasma flew in the air, and Lei Luo opened the dilapidated car door and hid, pulling the girl into the car as well.

Boom~ The earth shook violently, and the glass outside the car window was full of slime, but fortunately, the glass was not broken, which was considered lucky.

Whew~! The two of them gasped as they watched as the waist-thick tree slowly fell to the ground, and its roots shook a few times before it stopped.

"Hehe" The two looked at each other unconsciously, and then laughed.

The strange tree finally fell silent, and the girl got out of the car first, although her face could not be seen clearly, but she felt very young, probably similar to Lei Luo, only to see her quickly jump on the roof of another car and run into the distance.

Lei Luo couldn't help but follow: "Where are you going?" ”

The girl's voice returned: "I'll go find some gasoline, if this tree doesn't burn to death, it will probably rekindle!" ”

Lei Luo looked back at the tree and the slime broken branches scattered on the ground, and immediately said, "Wait for me, I'll go with you!" ”

"Hurry up!" The girl did not stop and continued to run through the ruins.

Rumble~! A fire was lit on the corpse of the tree, and the girl did not speak, but wore thick leather gloves and picked up the larger roots around her and threw them into the fire. Lei Luo had no gloves and could only watch from the sidelines, he himself was more puzzled, why could he understand the other party's language, and he could still answer fluently, could it be that when Thunder forced himself to enter his memory, the language of this planet had also been entered?

There are thousands of languages in the interstellar world, and if all of them are input, Lei Luo's brain will have already exploded, and it can only be said that the people on this planet have also been influenced by the Titan civilization, and the languages have an amazing similarity, so it will make Lei Luo's answers fluent. Otherwise, what other languages does Wesker learn, and can't you just memorize and type a few?

The girl cleaned up, and Lei Luo said to her, "Did you make the noise behind me before?" ”

The girl glanced back at him, but the work in her hand did not stop, she said: "Yes, this mutated tree has eaten a lot of zombies and humans, and you see that there seems to be nothing in this area quietly, in fact, because it has hunted too much, this place has invisibly become its territory." I saw that you were not afraid of death moving forward, so I wanted to kindly remind you, but I didn't expect you to almost get hit! ”

Lei Luo said "thank you", and then said, "My name is Lei Luo, what about you?" ”

"Jessica, you can call me Jessica!" Jessica said.

Relo said again, "Jessica, thank you, otherwise I might have been hunted down by this monster!" ”

Jessica shook her head: "It can't go far, if you really want to escape, it can't catch up with you, you can see that you're not very afraid of it!" ”

Lei Luo smiled and didn't speak, Jessica threw the last garbage into the flames, the monster's body that looked like a big tree crackled in the flames, its appearance looked like wood could be burned but there was a smell of burnt meat, black blood mixed with fat continued to merge into the flames, playing a more effective role in combustion.

The two of them quietly watched the fire burn on the tree's body, and the sky gradually fell into dusk, Jessica suddenly said: "Actually, I wanted to kill it a long time ago, but it is too powerful, if you don't contain it this time, I won't succeed!" ”

Lei Luo smiled: "You're welcome, kill it, I also have a sense of accomplishment." ”

Jessica looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, we have to go back as soon as possible, this monster dies and believes that there will be other monsters or zombies roaming around the neighborhood soon." ”

Lei Luo asked, "More than twenty years have passed, and the zombies are still dead?" ”

Jessica looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Don't you know that less than three years after the apocalypse, these zombies mutated and cannibalized each other, and many unknown terrible monsters were born?" ”

Lei Luo sighed, and sure enough, the zombies here have evolved!

The tree burned until dark, and he really didn't expect that after it burned out, it was actually a strange skeleton inside, and Lei Luo became more and more convinced that it was an animal and not a plant!

Jessica led him forward and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

Lei Luo followed closely and said: "Coming out of the mountains, the master has been training me, until he died, I had nothing to do before I wanted to come out and walk, who knew that the world would become like this." ”

Relo's lies were full of loopholes, and Jessica only groaned a little and didn't speak again.

Jessica led him down a sewer, down the underground structure, through the iron gates, to a dark hut. Jessica turned on the light switch, and she could see clearly in front of the hut in the dim light.

Relo adjusted to the light before looking at the room, which looked cramped, with a single bed taking up a third of the room. There was a bookcase next to it, and there was a lot of clutter in the bookcase, including food, dinner plates, a few thin books, and a writing hammer, a dagger, a hammer, and so on, neatly arranged in it.

There was a folding table and several plastic stools on the opposite side of the bookcase, and Jessica combed her hair through a small mirror hanging from the bookcase, and then asked him, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Lei Luo said: "What is there to eat?" ”

Jessica threw a bag of food and said, "Compress the biscuits, make do with it!" ”

Lei Luo looked at the hard bag, opened it and smelled the biscuits, but it was not broken, and he ate it immediately. He has been here for more than half a day, and he still hasn't finished dripping, he hasn't eaten a meal, and he actually choked after eating two bites!

"Water, water" Lei Luo took a glass of water handed by Jessica and drank it, then coughed a few times and said, "Damn, it's too dry!" ”

Jessica looked teased, clasped her hands on her chest and said, "Now you should tell me where you came from, right?" ”

Lei Luo said: "Didn't you say it from the mountains?" ”

Jessica sneered: "If you don't tell the truth, it seems that you still have to use some coercive means!" ”

Lei Luo instantly felt a sense of dizziness in front of him, and a bad feeling rose in his heart, looking at the compressed biscuit in his hand, he said intermittently: "Biscuit, biscuit" His eyes were black, and the person had fallen to the ground.

When Relo woke up, his eyes were foggy and he saw what Jessica was saying to a man. His heart tightened, and his body moved, but he heard the sound of clanging, and then he realized that he was actually hanging in the air with iron chains.

Jessica sneered: "Awake? ”

Lei Luo didn't struggle uselessly, just looked at her and the man and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

The man looked to be in his thirties, with bulging muscles and muscles bulging and looking very explosive, and he said, "What do you mean, we should ask you this!" As he spoke, he said, holding Lei Luo's watch in his hand, "What is this, shouldn't you explain it?" ”

Lei Luo said: "It's just a watch!" ”

"It's just a watch, huh!" The man snorted angrily, pressed the switch of the watch, and saw a light and shadow screen appear, and he said: "Such a high-tech thing could be brought out of the ravine?" ”
