Chapter 44: Escape from the Wasteland
The sound of the wind was whistling, mixed with the roar of a distant mutant beast, floating in their ears, as if it had come from another world, but Qin Ji and the others knew that this was not the voice of another world, this was the reality they had to face now.

The red light that shone the world poured down on the crowd without obstruction, and with their solemn expressions, it was like a wizard who was practicing witchcraft worried about the failure of his experiment.
"We, what should we do?"
Xu Qiantong spoke dryly, she had experienced such a blood moon, and she also understood how desperate the arrival of the mutant beast tide was.
Wu Chengping and Fu Jiu had never experienced the tide of mutant beasts, but just listening to Qin Ji's description, they could guess the seriousness of the matter, so their faces were not so good-looking.
Qin Ji stared into the distance, as if he could see something from the boundless darkness, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "If I say that I have a way to believe you, I won't believe you, but I can guarantee that I will not give up on you even if there is only a little hope of survival." ”
"Our vision is limited, so I don't recommend that you rush at night, plus we don't know the possible route of the mutant beast tide, so it's best to wait in place, we won't feel it when the mutant beast appears, and when the time comes, it's not too late for us to find a chance to escape. ”
Qin Ji's tone was very calm, and his face was habitually cold, but listening to his faint words, even if they knew what was about to happen, everyone still felt a trace of stability.
"What are you afraid of, you still have my hole card, Miss Ben won't die without help. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was still a little dull, Ding Muyin stood up, she didn't know why everyone had a desperate expression, in her opinion, no matter how many mutant beasts could escape her singing, as long as she came out, they wouldn't have anything to do at all.
Wen Qianluo rolled his eyes, but he didn't break Ding Muyin's illusion, he didn't know anything but was the happiest.
"Hey, we can't decide which direction the mutants are coming from, but we don't have to do anything, right?"
Fu Jiu walked in front of Qin Ji with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, such a world could simply excite him at any time.
"What do you mean?"
"Let's make traps together. ”
Fu Jiu symbolically rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was gearing up, if someone else did it, it would only make people laugh, but if he did it, it had a little more chic.
"Good. ”
Without thinking too much, Qin Ji agreed to Fu Jiu's suggestion, instead of putting everyone in a panic situation all the time, it was better to find something for them to do, which could not only relieve their emotions, but also bring some trouble to the mutant beasts.
Qin Ji has been following Fu Jiu's side because of his earth-based ability, and Wen Qianluo also added some of his own opinions on the side, and everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized, even if they were still worried in their hearts, they didn't show it on their faces.
Because it was not clear where the mutant beast would come from, Qin Ji and the others had set traps around the place where they were, and the progress should not be fast due to the lack of tools, but because of Qin Ji's presence, the release of a skill was a deep pit, which greatly shortened the time.
At the same time, considering that there will be mutant beasts emerging from the ground, Qin Ji also specially compressed the soil layer of those traps and deep pits several times, and the hardness is basically comparable to a steel plate, even if the pit worms want to drill out, it will take a lot of work.
It didn't take long for the tremors to come from all directions, and the ground beneath their feet was almost flipped over, and the roar of the mutant beasts became clearer, and their hearts trembled with it.
I felt it! One of the directions shook the most violently, and the tide of mutant beasts was about to surge!
"Let's go!"
Qin Ji picked up the backpack on the ground, chose a direction and signaled to everyone.
The speed of their running is not fast, the mutant beast has not yet arrived in front of them, even if their hearts are beating fast, they actually don't have much sense of urgency, plus they don't dare to consume too much physical strength, for a while, no one ran forward frantically out of fear.
Soon, they had to increase their speed, under the reflection of the blood moon, they could already see the outline of the black pressure of the mutant beast tide, even if there was no blood moon, just the red pupils of the mutant beast were enough to make them aware of the existence of the mutant beast.
Qin Ji's perception range is more than ten meters, but in the current situation, it is not enough, if the mutant beasts are really approached to a distance of more than ten meters, they are likely to be overwhelmed by the beast tide immediately, but now even if the mutant beast tide army has not arrived, Qin Ji's perception is also infested with pit pitters.
Sometimes they burrow into the ground, sometimes they emerge, like dragons churning in the sea, and the hard ground is a place for them to play freely, but also a place to shelter.
Qin Ji had to release his ability while running, although it may not have much impact on the pit pitter, but it is better than nothing.
Originally, the direction chosen by Qin Ji was the same as the direction in which the mutant beast tide was going, and what he was afraid of was that the mutant beast would change direction after encountering them, and when the time came, they would not have any chance of surviving at all, but now that the mutant beast was chasing harder and tighter, he could only let the team change direction.
"Follow me. ”
Qin Ji ran to the front of the team, causing the people who had originally fled in a straight line to immediately follow him at a ninety-degree right angle and run in the direction of the edge of the mutant beast tide.
The pit worms in the perception really didn't follow again, but Qin Ji didn't slow down, maybe they just didn't react, once they smelled the smell of humans, maybe they would change direction, he couldn't make any guarantees, so he could only use the stupidest way to minimize the danger.
The fundamental purpose of mutant beasts is to hunt humans, they will hunt any human who stands in their way, but they will not let go of humans who run away from the sidelines, especially those who smell their scent.
Everyone listened to Qin Ji's suggestion and didn't rejoice for long, they felt a creepy behind them, someone glanced back, and found that there were mutant beasts biting them, although the number was not as strong as the entire team of mutant beasts, but it was not something that a few of them could resist casually.
Even if they can destroy this mutant beast, there is still a tide of mutant beasts behind them, as long as they take a step slower, they will be overwhelmed by the beast tide.
"Don't stop!"
Qin Ji's cold voice pulled Wu Chengping and Ding Muyin's thoughts back to reality, they fought a cold war fiercely, and then took a step desperately, those mutant beasts were about to arrive in front of their eyes!
Qin Ji was still throwing abilities, one shallow pit after another appeared behind him, those mutant beasts only cared about chasing them, they didn't pay attention to their feet at all, and when they really hit the trick, they just screamed, allowing the later mutant beasts to step on their corpses and continue to chase after Qin Ji and them.
Holding Yuan Jing in one hand and releasing his ability in the other, Qin Ji's ability has been in a state close to exhaustion, but the mutant beasts are getting closer and closer, and he has no choice.
Ability and physical strength can still continue to support, but those teammates who ran in front of them are about to be unable to support it, Qin Ji caught a glimpse of Wen Qianluo stumbling flat, it seems that his physical strength is about to reach the limit.
"Ding Muyin!"
His name was Ding Muyin, and now only Ding Muyin's ability could resist the mutant beast for a while.
In the dark, Ding Muyin didn't care whether Qin Ji saw it or not, he just nodded solemnly, and just stood still, he opened his mouth to make a musical sound that was not like what humans could produce.
The mutant beast tide was divided into two groups at this time, but the team that followed them was only a drop in the bucket for the entire mutant beast tide, but even so, it was enough to make them fall into a desperate situation.
When the music sounded, the mutant beasts in the vicinity all fell, but the mutant beasts in the distance continued to surge forward, until they entered the range of Ding Muyin's sound attack, and then softened their bodies, Qin Ji carried two beast tooth daggers, shuttling among the fallen mutant beasts, often the mutant beasts were killed by Qin Ji before they were unconscious by the music.
Ding Muyin's musical sound has a slightly farther range of influence than Qin Ji's perception range, but it is also very useful, the mutant beast will not cover its ears, and it will not be able to resist this kind of ubiquitous attack, so it is easy to be hit.
The beast's fangs were extremely sharp, and Qin Ji could barely make a big cut in the necks of various strange-shaped mutant beasts, which made Qin Ji kill very happily, quite a heroic meaning of killing one person in ten steps, and not leaving a line for thousands of miles, although all the mutant beasts were killed.
