Chapter 15 All the Way East (continued) - Meat * worms block the way

Unlike zombies, mutant beasts are just creatures that absorb certain strange energies to evolve and become more powerful, they are still animals in nature, and they have little need for human flesh and blood.

Moreover, in just five months, the fear of humans in the depths of their souls has not been washed away, and they generally do not take the initiative to attack.

When the puppet carriage is running at full speed, it is about the same as a motorcycle, the speed reaches **ten or even hundreds, and the noise produced is also considerable, the convoy gallops over, the silence of the mountains and forests is broken, and from time to time a group of birds and beasts are startled, circling and following for a while, and returning to the nest.

After four days, the convoy finally left the Hengshan area.

When the convoy officially got out of Hengshan District, there were only 17 of the 30 convoys left, except for the necessary drinking water and emergency food, everything that could be thrown away, and the rest were some equipment that could not be discarded, which was what the camp relied on for survival and development.

When the tall building appeared in everyone's eyes again, everyone couldn't help but cheer. Although food is abundant in the mountains, the water source is clean, and there are almost no zombies...... With all these benefits, everyone still doesn't want to stay in the kind of place that is filled with a powerful aura that makes people feel weak and vulnerable from the bottom of their hearts.

Mutant beasts are really terrifying, a hundred times more terrifying than zombies, ten thousand times more terrifying! This is what everyone in the team thinks, at least for the time being. Everyone would rather face the sea of zombies that may gather at any time than spend an extra minute in the lair of the mutant beasts.

The Hengshan area is very vast, and there are many residential areas near the railroad tracks. Along the way, there are hundreds of thousands of zombies who have died in the hands of everyone, which is also one of the reasons why this idea has taken root and grown.

The intersection of Railway No. 320 and Railway No. 211 is in Ningxiang, and if the convoy wants to get on the 211, it must pass through the two cities of Huancheng and Mixiang, slip under the noses of more than two million zombies, and finally cross the Xiangjiang Bridge, head north, and arrive in Zhucheng.

A day later, on September 12, the convoy arrived at Ningxiang Station. The railway station of the Tianxia Empire has always been famous for its large number of people, although Ningxiang Station is only a small station, the number of zombies stranded here is about three or four thousand, plus the zombies wandering near the station, one is not careful, it is very likely to attract tens of thousands of corpses. What if a smart zombie comes out......

Before entering Ningxiang, the research team modified the carriage to make it quieter and more capable of filtering breath, and the "filter cover" was enough to cover an area of more than three meters nearby. In this way, as long as you are careful, it is not a big problem.

However, when it was time to leave the confines of the station, a big problem was still in front of everyone.

"There's a situation ahead!" Under the solemn warning of Wu Jue, the Heavenly Eye Master, the convoy that had just picked up the speed slowed down again.

Lu Yuangang's stretched brows tightened again: "How much trouble?" ”

"It's huge." Wu Jue rubbed his eyebrows and spread his hands, "Go over and see for yourself, remember to be careful, that thing is not easy to mess with." ”

There were five people who had been investigated in the past, and they all knew how to restrain their own aura, and their abilities were similar to those of the assassin in Lin Cheng. However, Lin Cheng was much stronger than them, he circled around the four of them like a god, Luo Tian only felt cold, and his sense of existence was much weaker.

When the "trouble" that Wu Jue said entered the eyes of the five people, everyone finally understood why Wu Jue showed a constipation-like face and had a headache.

There are only two railroad tracks in Ningxiang Station, which itself is like the middle part of an hourglass, which violently binds the two ends, and then opens up after a few hundred meters, suddenly opening up, showing a wide enough for six trains to run in parallel.

And that "trouble" happened to be blocked at the fork of the railroad tracks, and with its huge size, it blocked the way of the convoy!

It was like a flesh* worm, more than fifty meters long and six or seven meters high, and its skin was as dark and brown as a zombie, like cracked leather, revealing scarlet ravines. The top of the "back" of the flesh* insect is covered with tentacles, like dead snakes, hanging down on their stomachs, at least ten meters long, very tough. On both sides of the "lower abdomen" of the flesh* worm are short and thick tentacles like green worms, which penetrate into the solid gravel ground and are difficult to shake.

Looking at the thick "meat * worm" blocking the road in a daze, the five people looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Is this thing alive or dead?" One asked, confused. On the lookout of the flesh worm alone, there is not a trace of activity.

Lin Cheng took a deep breath and regained his composure: "It's alive!" I could feel the energetic response hidden beneath the thick epidermis, and it seemed to be in a dormant state, sluggish. However," Lin Cheng's eyes flashed, "The energy response of this thing is very similar to that of zombies, I'm afraid it is related to zombies, and most of them are new varieties evolved from zombies......"

Zombie?! The four of them were shocked. Lin Cheng's analysis was correct, but because of this, several people were even more frightened.

"Can we get around it, it's dormant anyway, as long as we move lightly, maybe we can get through." Suggestions were made. In this place, it is not advisable to fight with such a behemoth.

Luo Tian stared closely at the narrow pattern in the skin ravine of the zombie flesh* worm, and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult!" You see, there are a lot of patterns on its epidermis, and their distribution is regular, and I guess it's probably its sensory organs, and I'm afraid we'll wake up just if we get close to her. If you want to get around, it's extremely unlikely! ”

A few people looked closely, and they were shocked to find that those strange black stripes were not only distributed in the scarlet ravines, but also covered with something like fluff, protected by a strong skin, difficult to attack.

Suddenly, it moved!

The five of them trembled, and hurriedly withdrew their murderous gaze, for fear of waking it up in advance.

"Slowly retreat, slowly retreat~~" Lin Cheng retracted his gaze, beckoned the four of them to slowly retreat, returned to the convoy, and told the information about the meat * worm suspected of being a zombie evolution, so that everyone could analyze how to solve this roadblock. (The image of the zombie flesh*worm, a reference to the weevil-like "antiquity" hidden in the train in BLOOD-C)

Due to the special situation, Luo Tian and the others had to kill the meat * worm before it woke up, and they couldn't make a loud noise before it alarmed the nearby zombies. What's even more troublesome is that everyone should try to restrain their own energy fluctuations, because that will attract elemental evolution-type zombies, and it will be even more troublesome at that time.

Must kill with one hit!

But...... Such a big lump, God knows where its core is?!

"I can't see these ...... yet" Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Wu Jue smiled bitterly and spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't do anything at the moment. If he wants to get to that level, he can't go to the yellow level.

After discussing for half an hour, I even called more than 300 people from the convoy to figure out a way together, and the result was ...... There is still no way to kill the flesh* worm in such harsh conditions...... Although there are still two people in the team who have eye abilities, one of them is called "Lingqingmu", and the other is called "Broken Illusion Pupil", both of which are relatively good existences in the later stage, but they are not of any benefit to the current situation.

If you kill by force, even Luo Tian doesn't have the confidence to hit or even kill without knowing the core.

In the end, the only way to do this is to use the stupidest method and attack with enough people to crush the flesh* worms to pieces!

When Lu Yuan and the others were struggling with the candidates, Luo Tian pulled Wu Jue aside.

"Angkor, I remember that you have also reached the peak of the high-level, and you are just one foot away."

Wu Jue nodded, puzzled. "yes, what's the problem?"

"Do you think it's possible for you to break through in the face of great outside oppression?" Luo Tian's eyes flashed with hope.

Wu Jue also understood what Luo Tian meant at this time, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly: "There is such a possibility, but ...... This oppression must be directed against my eyes, you ......"

Facing Wu Jue's questioning, Luo Tian shook his head with a wry smile, then exhaled a breath and said, "However, it should be no problem to give it a try." What if, under great psychological pressure, a breakthrough is made? ”

Wu Jue glanced at Luo Tian deeply, nodded, and agreed. He didn't tell Luo Tian that for relatively fragile eyes, a carelessness could lead to the complete destruction of his "heavenly eyes"!

It happened that the energy response of the Tianyan Master itself was quite weak, and after Wu Jue informed the boxers Liu Qiang (Da Qiang) and the swordsman Li Xiang (Xiao Li) in his squad, the four of them walked to the side and found a carriage that was mostly empty, Wu Jue and Luo Tian entered it, and the other two were guarding outside.

"It's time to go." Wu Jue sat down cross-legged, meditated, and after a few minutes, signaled Luo Tian that he was ready.

Luo Tian sat in the corner, closed his eyes, and his spiritual power was surging out endlessly, forcibly driving the free elements around him, pinching them together, and slowly pressing down on Wu Jue, like an invisible hood, on his head.

The rough inner wall of the elemental hood poked out thin needles condensed by various elements, pressing against the major acupuncture points in Wu Jue's brain, slowly increasing the force, compressing his nerves, forcing his own spiritual power to pour out, protecting the important brain.

Luo Tian increased his oppressive power little by little, hoping that in this process, Wu Jue's self-protection could break through the limit, advance to the yellow level, and become a true "Heavenly Eye Master".

It's hard work, requires a lot of control, and there's no room for mistakes.

Even Luo Tian is also a dark mage, and he has never slackened off in the exercise of mental power, five minutes later, Luo Tian was already sweating profusely, and his face was so white that there was no trace of blood.

Looking at Wu Jue again, green tendons came out from under the skin, jumping and jumping, like struggling poisonous snakes, dyed with a faint blood. In both eyes, countless bloodshots came out, covering the entire eye socket, and from a distance, it seemed to be coated with a layer of red paint, and the color was so bright that it made people feel cold.

Liu Qiang and Li Xiang, who were standing quietly outside the carriage, saw this scene, and cold sweat broke out like grout, soaking through the clothes all over their bodies and wringing out water.

Five and a half minutes, Luo Tian's forehead was also bruised, and Wu Jue's face was the color of white bones, which made his two eyes even more dazzling and terrifying.

In six minutes, streaks of blood oozed from the pores of Luo Tian's face, and Wu Jue's face turned a strange cyan except for his eyes, as if he was wearing a mask, which was extremely hideous.

In seven minutes, Luo Tianqiqi was bleeding, and Wu Jue's eyes were also oozing blood!

Both of them underestimated the barrier between the high-level and the yellow-level, and overestimated their own strength and willpower!

A small early stage of the yellow level, a high-level peak like an ant, actually tried in vain to break the solid barrier between the high-level and the yellow-level with brute force, it was simply - I don't know whether to live or die!

At this moment, the two of them are deeply trapped and can't get out at all!

Liu Qiang and Li Xiang were already frightened, and they didn't care about Wu Jue and Luo Tian's entrustment, so they called Lu Yuan and a few captains over.

Luo Tian and Wu Jue's breath flickered and weakened, and blood poured down from the seven orifices of the two of them without money, and the thick smell of blood spread!

Lu Yuan and the others, who rushed over, almost went crazy when they saw the tragic scene of the two! If it weren't for the fear of disturbing the two of them, Lu Yuan and the others would have to call out!

After a quick exchange of words in the slightest voice, everyone had no choice but to wait for the Dharma Protector on the side, praying in their hearts that the two of them would be able to survive this catastrophe......

There were meat * worms blocking the road in the past, and there were countless zombies wandering not far away, and now there is such a thing as Luo Tian and Wu Jue...... Lu Yuan Wang Ling and the others were about to go crazy, their heads were chaotic and buzzing!

Because of this, no one noticed that the smell of blood had gradually spread......
