Chapter 37: Roots

"Let it run." After a few soldiers came out, they shrugged their shoulders at Li Qingshui.

"Heh, no way, the prey is hard to catch." Li Qingshui also smiled back.

"Well, yes, and I feel like even if it doesn't run, we're going to have a hard time dealing with it." One of the soldiers, who looked more mature and steady, said: "Running so fast and so strong, it is not certain how much damage this assault rifle's bullet can cause to it after penetrating its fur!" And the fog was so thick that we didn't dare to shoot at all, for fear of hurting our own people. ”

"Yes." Several other soldiers nodded, "I can only see two or three meters away, and to be honest, the giant dog is standing in front of me, and I can't even see its whole picture." It's over if it's sneak attacked. ”

A few soldiers began to talk to each other, and then the gloom on their faces disappeared, and then turned into a look of fear.

"Fortunately, we didn't catch up, otherwise a few of us might not have come back alive!" It was the mature soldier who made a summary speech, and then smiled at Li Qingshui and the others: "You are still so powerful, you can hunt here." Our military has also sent people to hunt, but we have not touched the slightest shadow of animals. Those domestic things seem to have reverted to their wild surnames after mutating, and the vigilant surnames are ridiculously high, and they can't see a shadow at all, so they run away. ”

"Well, yes, how can you find prey on such a foggy day? We also relied on luck to find our prey, and no, one of our people almost died because of it. Li Qingshui pointed at Liu Chang and said, "It's not easy for us."

"He's the one you're trying to rescue!" Several soldiers looked Liu Chang up and down, "It's good that people are fine, but they were slightly injured, this task is even simpler than we thought!" ”

"Yes, the person who said the task of the company commander will give a pound of meat, how long has it been since I have eaten meat......"

"Goo-toot!" A soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Actually, it's not been a few days, and the key thing is that I haven't eaten much in the past few days!" ”

Several of the soldiers were elated when they talked about meat. Obviously, although the usual "food treatment" of these soldiers is certainly better than that of civilians, it is not much better. Although they had the strength to move, they were all so hungry that their eyes turned green.

Li Qingshui took advantage of the elated talk of a few of them, and asked one of them to borrow a military flashlight, a regular equipment for night patrols, and then pulled Liu Chang aside.

"Come with me down there and have a look, won't you?" Li Qingshui gave him a look and glanced at the direction of the sewer behind the dense fog.

"Do you really want to go down?" Liu Chang frowned, "Isn't this enough to support?" ”

"I want to see what's going on down there."

"Where do you get so much curiosity?" Liu Chang continued to frown, "This doesn't look like your style?" Isn't avoiding danger the choice of people with reasonable surnames? What's going on down there? ”

"Knowing the danger is the best option, so I want to go down and have a look."

"If you want to go, I'm not going." Having just come out of that dark and desperate world, Liu Chang definitely didn't want to go in again - and it seemed so unnecessary to go in this time.

"Okay, I'll go alone!" Li Qingshui said, walked to the front of the sewer, and slowly climbed down the iron escalator.

"What did he do?" Seeing Li Qingshui hidden in the mist, the fat man came over and asked.

"I went into the sewers, I don't know what to think." Liu Chang shook his head, stared at the direction of the sewer for several minutes, and when he saw that no one had come out, he shook his head and said, "No, I have to go down and have a look." ”

"Then I'll go too." Hearing Liu Chang say go, the little girl who had been standing at his feet and didn't speak hurriedly said, "Where are you going, where am I going." ”

"What are you going to do, stay here honestly." As Liu Chang spoke, he pushed the little girl down beside the fat man and said, "Look at her, I'll call Teacher Li out." ”

"Hmm." The fat man nodded and grabbed the little girl who was about to follow.

Liu Chang followed the dim black light and plunged into the sewer. As soon as he entered the ground, Liu Chang's eyes were already shrouded in darkness.

The world inside is still so dark, so the light of the flashlight in Li Qingshui's hand looks so sharp and dazzling here, after Liu Chang climbed into the underground world, he saw the light from Li Qingshui's hand for the first time. The light shot out through the flashlight, imprinted on the dark walls, and reflected the roots of a huge plant.

But once again in this world that frightened him, Liu Chang didn't have the heart to look at any plant roots, and pulled the shelf of the last iron escalator on his feet, Liu Chang shouted at the light source: "Teacher Li, hurry up." ”

"There's no danger here." Li Qingshui smiled at Liu Chang, making this smile look particularly terrifying because of the light of the flashlight, "Come and see, the scene here is too strange." ”

"What's so peculiar, isn't it just some plant roots?" Liu Chang still couldn't reach the ground.

"No, it's a big world!" As he spoke, the light of the flashlight in Li Qingshui's hand moved slightly, allowing the faint beam of light to sweep along his arm throughout the underground world.

Subsequently, Liu Chang saw how grand and prosperous this world was!

It is full of plant roots, some stick to the walls, some run through the sewers, and some go deep into the ground, as if this huge plant rhizome has occupied the underground world of the entire city, and everywhere the light can reach, as far as the eye can see, it is all this thick rhizome, this strange scene, he can't help but think of the myth and legend - the World Tree.

"This ...... What is this? Seeing this strange scene, Liu Chang unconsciously walked down the escalator, stroked a root next to him that was several times thicker than his waist, and asked, "Which tree is this?" ”

"I don't know, it's not in this area at all, it's from a distance." Li Qingshui said, knocked off Liu Chang's hand that was stroking the roots of the plant, and continued: "Don't touch it, there is acid on it, be careful that your hands are corroded." Actually, I suspect that these rhizomes have an attacking surname, but it seems to be dormant now, and it doesn't move us. ”

Before Li Qingshui's words fell, sure enough, Liu Chang saw a few tiny rhizomes squirming slightly under the illumination of the light, like the faint breath of a sleeping personβ€”not like ordinary plants, standing there still.

"No wonder there are no sewer monsters here, all absorbed by this plant?" Seeing these wriggling plant roots, Liu Chang suddenly thought of the scene where they swept over and wrapped himself after injecting digestive juice, and then couldn't help but shiver, "Let's go quickly, we will all finish playing when it wakes up in a while." ”

"I want to take a little sample before I go." Li Qingshui said, dragged a rag off his clothes, wrapped his left hand, and then took out a knife from his arms with his right hand, and cut off a small plant rhizome with a "swish". With this action of his, Liu Chang, who was standing on the side, trembled with fright and shouted, "What are you doing?" ”
