Chapter 39: Broken Jade
Things often end out of the imagination of human beings.
The woman pushed Jin Zhaoyuan, but it was herself who died in the end, and it was Jin Zhaoyuan who survived.
This has to be said to be a kind of irony.
The direction in which the vine grows is definitely not forward, but upward.
Seeing that the vines were about to roll up to the edge of Jin Zhaoyuan, they suddenly changed direction and rushed straight up.
The roof of the building was suddenly hit and collapsed in a large area.
The falling concrete blocks crushed the woman to death.
Jin Zhaoyuan was lucky and only suffered minor injuries, although he was smashed and bloodied.
He retaliated by kicking the female corpse that had fallen to the ground, buried by shards of reinforced concrete, and a sneer came out of his mouth.
Deserve!
Jin Zhaoyuan looked around, the stairs down had been blocked by vines, and all the passages were basically filled with cement debris. Even the glass windows are obscured by the leaves of the vines, making it impossible to see outside.
Jin Zhaoyuan's watch and mobile phone were still in the private room, and he had no way of knowing how long he had been unconscious, nor what time it was.
There is no exit.
I can't go down now.
Jin Zhaoyuan frowned, wiped the blood around his eyes, and looked up.
A thick vine snaked upward, and the hole was large enough for one person to pass through.
It seems that the only way to go up is to go up first.
Jin Zhaoyuan tentatively picked up the stone and smashed it at the main body of the blue vine.
The stone didn't break through the skin of the vine at all, and it fell to the ground weakly - again, the strange vine didn't react at all, as if it was really just a plant.
Jin Zhaoyuan didn't give up, and took a wooden stick and poked the vine, no matter how hard he used, the skin of the vine did not leave any traces, and there was still no reaction.
Jin Zhaoyuan tentatively threw away the wooden strip, stepped forward and touched it directly with his hand.
It's okay.
Jin Zhaoyuan let out a long sigh of relief.
He clenched the thin, slightly purple burrs on the vine and pulled it up tentatively.
As soon as he pulled it, he felt pain.
But he still exerted his strength, and as soon as he got up, he climbed up the main body of the vine that went diagonally.
Gasping slightly on the vines, Jin Zhaoyuan looked at his hands.
The hands were covered with tiny wounds, and it was clear that these burrs of the vines were not decorations.
The wounds were so small that they stopped without bleeding a bit.
Obviously, the vine's burrs are only defensive.
The angle of the vine diagonally is not large, and Jin Zhaoyuan can completely walk up the vine.
After resting for a while, he staggered a little and slowly walked up.
After a little uphill, he went up through the hole in the roof.
The gym is located on the top three floors of the building.
This multi-functional commercial building is also a high-rise building in the city, with a height of 63 floors, which is not much different from the tallest building in the city.
The top three floors and the top floor are the open-air swimming pool. Up and down the stairs on the side is the helicopter parking stand
At the bottom is the fitness club, and in the middle is the restaurant and bar.
These three floors are one, and they are all rotating floors.
Jin Zhaoyuan descended the vine and came to the restaurant and bar on the second floor.
Fortunately, it was night when the accident happened, and there was no one in the restaurant and bar, so it was not so miserable at this time, and there were three or four people lying on the ground. Dressed in uniform, presumably staff.
Jin Zhaoyuan touched his nose, and suddenly felt that his luck was good, there were more than a dozen people he saw this time and again, but none of them were alive, and he seemed to be the only living person left on the roof of this rotating building.
The cafeteria's buffet area, surprisingly not received much damage.
Jin Zhaoyuan looked up and found that the top of the self-service area was a steel frame structure, and the vines probably instinctively felt that this side was not easy to poke, so they avoided it.
He walked to the self-service area and checked it a little, although he didn't know how long it had been, but it was estimated that it would not be too long, after all, he didn't feel hungry when he saw the food.
But he still picked up the bottled mineral water on the side, made some pasta, and ate and drank casually.
Eating is just incidental, the key is to drink water to be true, and now Jin Zhaoyuan is more or less thirsty.
After eating and drinking, Jin Zhaoyuan wiped his mouth, looked around, and walked in the direction of the safety exit.
Although there was also broken cement on the ground, there was still a gap.
Jin Zhaoyuan cautiously walked through these gaps, he didn't want to make any secondary disasters.
When I went out, I found that there was only the stairs going up, and the stairs going down had been roughly cut off by the vines, and I wouldn't fall to death if I jumped down, and eight times out of ten I would be stabbed half dead by the burrs on the vines.
Jin Zhaoyuan shook his head a little weakly, forced to be helpless, he didn't want to go up, he had to go up.
He walked up slowly, there was not much damage on it, it was rare to be clean and tidy, and the interior of the building was simply two worlds.
On the empty staircase, Jin Zhaoyuan was the only one walking up, and every step he took would reverberate in this empty space.
A slight gasp, although Jin Zhaoyuan was only slightly injured, he was obviously not so comfortable when he went up.
Good luck.
The door on the top floor is crooked and one is missing. It's not blocked.
Jin Zhaoyuan leaned over, and on the ground, in addition to the shocking cracks, there were obviously a lot less cement stones and the like.
The space on the top floor obviously doesn't have much room for the vines to destroy.
He looked up at the sky, there were no stars and moons in the sky, it was a little cloudy, it was not evening, it was more like about five o'clock in the morning, and the sun had not yet come out.
I finally saw the outside.
Jin Zhaoyuan immediately smiled bitterly again, he came up, but how could he go down?
But no matter what, he still went to the top floor.
As soon as he stepped over, he asked, with a sweet scent.
At first smell, it is faint, very good-smelling, floral fragrance, and then you smell it carefully, but you will feel that this floral fragrance is so sweet that it makes people greasy, bitter, and has a strange smell.
The smell wasn't unpleasant, but more like something was fermenting.
As soon as he smelled this smell, Jin Zhaoyuan's head buzzed.
He was a little out of control, stiff, and walked in the direction of the fragrance of the flowers.
At the same time, he wore it around his neck, and the ancient jade ring that had been handed down by the family began to emit a misty white light at some point.
The closer you get to the source of the floral fragrance, the brighter the light emitted by the jade ring.
But at this time, Jin Zhaoyuan was obviously a little abnormal, he didn't care about this strange scene at all, he just stiffened, followed the taste step by step, and walked forward.
The further you go, the fainter the scent becomes, until you get closer to the target, and the scent disappears completely.
The jade ring on Jin Zhaoyuan's chest shattered into pieces with a snap, and the light on the jade ring silently sank into Jin Zhaoyuan's body.
Jin Zhaoyuan, who was still stunned just now, suddenly shuddered.
An extremely cold snap ran down his spine and into his brain.
Maybe it was the effect of the jade ring, or the faintness of the fragrance, in short, Jin Zhaoyuan was completely sober.
At this time, he realized that he had walked to the edge of the pool on the roof.
The water in the pool has long been missing. A large hole was also pierced at the bottom of the pool, and vines came out directly from the bottom of the pool.
Different from the vines you see when you come up, the vines that come out of the pool are more like bamboo shoots, wrapped one by one, and growing upwards one by one.
Beyond the pool, over the jumping platform of the pool, the vines became thinner and thinner, and only at the top of the pool, there were nine huge flowers.
The white flowers are slightly purple, and each one is a five-petaled flower. Each flower is so huge that it can wrap Jin Zhaoyuan alive.
The strange floral fragrance was obviously caused by these flowers.
But these flowers, unlike the usual flowers, are obviously still different, only petals, no stamens.
At the center of each flower is something like a crystal, slender and crystal clear, emitting a distinct blue-purple glow under the sky that has not yet brightened.
In those rays of light, some phantoms flashed from time to time.
And it is obvious that these lights are colliding with each other, and each collision will leave a beautiful sporadic flash in the air.
Jin Zhaoyuan was dumbfounded.
This kind of surreal picture obviously has enough impact to shock Jin Zhaoyuan, who has already experienced a catastrophe.
He just looked at the nine strange huge flowers in a daze.
Silent for a long time.
These flowers obviously surprised Ning Chen as well.
The floral fragrance just now had no effect on Ning Chen and Li Yue at all, but they could roughly feel that this floral fragrance was tempting/enticing people to approach, and when it got close to a certain range, the floral fragrance would disappear.
This kind of strangeness made Li Yue completely unaware of what role this floral fragrance was playing.
But soon Li Yue knew.
Many "people" came to the roof one after another.
Dead - people.
These living corpses, intact, are stiff and moving forward. Without the lower / half/body, dragging the intestines and coagulated blood clots, mechanically climbing up. Those who lack arms and legs simply jump up.
The bodies of the living corpses are more or less densely porved, which are pierced by the burrs of vines.
Ning Chen looked at the fine and dense holes on the body of the living corpse, and was slightly stunned, but turned around and walked to the edge of the top of the building and looked down.
"If you see no mistake, you can go up directly along the main body of these vines. Ning Chen said.
Li Yue also followed the probe and looked at it, and found that there were living people, who were climbing up the vines, "These living people are also coming up?? What happened to them?" asked.
"I guess I was stabbed by those burrs, and those living corpses should have been stabbed as well. Ning Chen said calmly.
"Glitches, then why didn't these burrs attack us?" Li Yue said suspiciously.
"Because this is already the range of floral scents, the aroma of flowers should have the same effect as burrs. Glancing back, the giant flower that was originally small and dense, but at the moment there were only six left, Ning Chen said lightly.
Li Yue patted his head, it should be right.
These burrs are thin and dense, spreading along the vines, between the earth and the buildings, and it is really a little difficult for ordinary people who are close to them not to be stabbed. What's more, these glitches should have the ability to attack automatically. No matter how many people are stabbed, it is not a strange thing.
Li Yue glanced at the crowd below again, and became more and more curious about what would happen next.
