"Baby, don't move, your dad will be back soon!"

A woman touched her belly tenderly and whispered to her stomach with warmth.

A week ago, she was officially diagnosed as two months pregnant by the medical team led by He Tingting, and received more care from everyone. Now, she basically doesn't need to do heavy physical work.

"Now that the sun is in the west, in half an hour, the hunting party will be back! Mom goes to see what is delicious, can you bring it to the baby?" she continued to talk to the baby in her belly, and then looked up at the sky, suddenly a little inexplicably worried.

She has always considered herself lucky.

As a school student, if there is no end times, this child in her belly will definitely not be born. The end times deprived her of everything, but gave her a new little life. She didn't even know whether to thank the last days for the gift to her.

And what made her feel even more comforted was that the father of this new life was outside, busy fighting for the future of their family of three!

It can be said that it is a miracle that they have been able to come together to the present day in the great tribulation of the last days!

She was a little flustered.

"There's still a group that hasn't come back, it's almost half past four!"

When Xu Shuqing heard Cheng Gongyuan's report, his brows furrowed into iron bumps. It's already winter, and it's getting dark early. For safety reasons, the base stipulates that hunting parties travel after 7 a.m., return at 1 p.m., and return to the base by 4 p.m.

Under normal circumstances, the hunting team will come back around three o'clock, and if they don't return at four o'clock, then something is basically wrong.

"Do you know which way you're going?" Jiang Mantian asked.

"To the south, in the direction of the University. Cheng Gongyuan's face was ashamed, after all, he brought the person out, and now a complete group of 15 people is lost like this. He remembered that there was a member of the team who only learned a few days ago that his girlfriend was pregnant, and he didn't know how happy he was.

"So I took twenty teams and searched south separately to see if there were any clues, and then went to look for them, whether they could find them or not, and tried to come back within two hours. Long Yuandong, He Dali, Cheng Gongyuan and I will go together, Chairman Xu, Teacher He, Xu Yue, you will guard your home together, and wait for our news!"

The crowd couldn't think of any better way, so they simply made preparations, counted the number of people, and set off south.

Once out of the city walls, twenty groups dispersed, each about 30 meters apart, so that they could echo each other.

Jiang Mantian and He Dali, Long Yuandong, Mu Yuanyuan, Lu Yan, Zhang Ziwu, Xiao Mengge, Wei Chuanfeng, Mo Fei and others are all old partners of the previous special operations team, and they also have a tacit understanding with each other.

Entering the forest, the light is dim.

In the woods near the city walls, there are often people coming and going, so the road is vaguely recognizable, and it is not difficult to travel. But the further you go, the denser the trees become, and the road becomes more potholed, making it extremely difficult to walk.

He vigorously held a steel rod and opened the way first.

Everyone cheered up, covered each other in the back, and walked with their tails.

After about a thousand meters, a few hornets three fingers wide flew buzzing, rolling up and down around He. He vigorously waved his long sleeves to drive the hornets away, and the hornets scattered and reunited, lingering endlessly, making people so irritable.

Seeing this, Lu Yan exhaled and spewed out a burst of flames, which immediately completely scorched a wasp. Seeing this, the rest of the hornets dispersed and rested on a clump of red broadleaf grass nearby.

The blades of the red grass snapped shut, and the two hornets caught them with great agility. The wasp struggled, but could not get out, but was completely wrapped and melted by the red grass leaves, and the bones were gone.

Jiang Mantian saw clearly that this grass is called Venus flytrap, which is native to the relatively barren wetland grassland, and was gradually transplanted to the home as a green plant.

In the past, the Venus flytrap could only catch a few small flying insects and flies, but now that it has evolved to catch such a large wasp, it seems that it has more than enough power to swallow even the larger mammals over time.

He vigorously swept away with a stick and destroyed half of the rope grass. Jiang Mantian said: "It's important to get down to business, don't be busy cleaning it up now." ”

The crowd carefully bypassed the Venus flytrap and moved on.

After a few hundred meters, He Dali suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Instructor Long, you go to the front to open the way, I feel a little dizzy!"

Long Yuandong followed the prestige and was taken aback, only to see He Dali's sunken eyes, pale face, and a few grass whiskers sticking messily on his head, I don't know what was wrong, he stepped forward to support him and said, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little thirsty!" He said weakly: "You go to the front to open the way, I'll just rest!"

Jiang Mantian went over to check, and suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Fatty, take off your clothes quickly! Everyone pay attention to vigilance!"

Everyone stood in formation according to the words, but they couldn't help but wonder: "What is going on?"

Jiang Mantian took off He Dali's shirt, and saw that his back was close to his neck, and there was a dodder plant, the root of which had penetrated deep into the flesh, the color was crimson, like a needle, and it was continuously absorbing He Dali's blood.

Everyone saw the scene, and their hair was terrified.

Cuscuta is a parasitic plant, and although there are a wide range of hosts, they are generally only parasitic on plants. Now it can be directly parasitic on people, and what is even more terrifying is that after its parasitism, the host has nothing to detect, and when it is discovered, it is likely to have reached the point of being out of control, and it is simply impossible to prevent it, which is really chilling.

Jiang Mantian pulled out the dagger, pulled out the dodder seed from He Dali's back, and then applied a large amount of iodine wine to disinfect it, and did a simple bandage.

The dodder silk dug out made Lu Yan burn it clean.

Shengsheng dug out a piece of meat from his body, and He sweated vigorously like a pulp, but from beginning to end, he didn't say a word. After a short rest, he was alive again, and he didn't take the wound just now seriously.

Although he understated it and laughed it off, the others did not dare to be careless, and carefully examined the skin on his body to confirm that there was no parasitism, and then readjusted his equipment and continued to move forward.

In less than two months, the forest has become so sinister that in the long run, the situation of mankind is really worrying. Unless humans rapidly develop equipment that is sufficient for self-protection, or their bodies evolve to a fairly advanced level, they will not be able to stand on their feet.

Perhaps in a few years, no one will be able to safely survive outside the base, and even the base itself will no longer be safe.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mantian's heart added a trace of heaviness.

Long Yuandong led the way first, walked for a while, and stopped: "If you go further, it should be the scope of the National University." I remember there's a wisteria tree not far ahead, let's go there and have a look!"

"Huh, so fragrant?"

Long Yuandong's spirit was shocked, and he turned a thorny forest, and a fiery red and enchanting canna was displayed in front of everyone, reaching as high as people's shoulders, competing for beauty.

The fragrance comes from the canna.

Long Yuandong didn't have time to appreciate the praise, and the grass and trees on his side suddenly shook violently.

I saw that Brother Xiao Meng walked forward, his eyes were frightened, his hands were waving, and he grabbed the void, as if some evil spirit was entangled with him, and he shouted loudly in his mouth: "Get out! Get out! Don't come here! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu pinched you to death!"

In addition to Brother Xiao Meng, Wei Chuanfeng also stepped forward, his eyes were wandering, his expression was contemptuous, and he roared out of tune: "There is a crooked river in front of my brother, and my sister is singing a sweet song opposite me......!"

"The fragrance is poisonous! Everyone cover their mouths and noses, and quickly retreat!" Jiang Mantian knew that something was wrong, and said loudly: "Far East, you pull the two of them back!"

"Give me back!" Long Yuandong grabbed one person's belt with one hand and pulled it back.

Everyone retreated seven or eight meters backwards in embarrassment, and Jiang Mantian said: "The fragrance of canna can make people hallucinate, don't smell too much! We must avoid here!"
