197, Human City (City Plot)

It is probably because of the feeding characteristics of the ant colony that the basin attracts ant colonies, after all, the forests and grasslands in the basin are extremely fertile, and the growth and variety of plants are better than other places.

However, it is also because of the special effect of the ant colony eating plants that the animals in the basin can have a chance to escape.

Good and bad can never be generalized.

The horror and danger of ant colonies are self-evident, but compared to the more aggressive demonic beasts and other alienated beasts, for humans, the danger of ant colonies that can be lured away is relatively low.

Human beings' judgment of the dangers of the natural world is never determined by the strength of the other party, but by the harm that the other party brings to human beings.

Just as there is a saying in human beings called "one pig, two bears and three tigers", the danger ranking of these three wild animals represents the degree of harm to humans, rather than the force value of the three animals.

However, this time Liang Cheng was able to react so quickly, and it was not easy to respond in time. Fortunately, the military in Liangcheng was very effective in the event of the earthquake, and after stabilizing the city, buildings and posts such as lookouts and scouts never slackened.

The danger of the ant colony was discovered as soon as the ant colony appeared, and it was reported as soon as possible, and the research team immediately began to discuss the formula.

It is inevitable that the Liangcheng military will be so vigilant, after all, the current environment is too unfriendly to human beings, whether it is a mutant beast or a mutant plant, they are all anxious.

Recently, the situation in the city has been stabilized, and the hot weather has made people panic again, and even the source of water in the city, the only river in the city, has been dried up a little, and in order to alleviate this problem, the military has concentrated its efforts on digging groundwater.

No, I just succeeded in digging up the groundwater in the city yesterday, and the problem of this water source has just been alleviated, and I haven't had time to rejoice. The scouting team came with terrible news.

The colony of ants devouring all plants and animals was like bright red blood, and the whole body of the person who watched it was cold.

Fortunately, the researchers in the scientific research group are perfect enough, biologists and the like, and in less than an hour, the military took out several potions to drive them away, but those potions and powders are not very effective, and some of them almost make the ant colony riot.

Fortunately, in the end, he managed to make a kind of medicine powder that was very attractive to ants, and successfully guided the ant colony in another direction.

According to the reconnaissance situation, the ant colony had no intention of turning back, and went all the way forward, and it was already ten miles away from Liangcheng.

After receiving the news that the crisis was resolved, the strangers who gathered together also breathed a sigh of relief, and then went back to their respective homes.

In fact, most of them are still reluctant to leave easily, although there is no news from other cities, but the people who have fled one after another have never been cut off, under the catastrophe, the collapse of human society, the disappearance of order, there are countless terrible tests of human nature happening.

Because Liang Cheng had enough troops to reorganize the existence of the receivers, nothing particularly excessive and dehumanizing happened, but that didn't mean those things wouldn't happen.

Everyone lived in a peaceful era before, and they had more or less watched similar movies and television when information was developed, so everyone knew it in their hearts.

In such an environment, naturally no one would want to leave the relatively stable Liangcheng.

Amer and the others are naturally the same, the three of them and one dog returned to the small building and put the sorted baggage in the corner, but they did not mean to take it out again.

Amer had always been cautious, he was waiting, waiting until he was really sure that there was no danger.

Ah Xu came over with the smallest backpack and put the food and drink on the table, and he didn't plan to pack anything.

The world is becoming more and more dangerous, all kinds of abnormal creatures emerge one after another, and the water supply problem in the city has long been a little uneasy in his heart.

Anyway, everything is packed up, so let's do it first, maybe this crisis has not passed three or five days, and the next wave of crisis will come again.

It is not an exaggeration to describe their current life as "precarious".

Yaoyao leaned on Ah Fu to be drowsy, the little girl's spirit was tense for a day, and she would naturally be very tired when she relaxed this time.

Ah Fu lay quietly on his stomach, tilted his head to see that the little master was asleep, and also squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Liang Cheng had just sent away the ant colony, and another city was taken care of by the ant colony.

This time, however, the fearsome colony of mutant ants failed to scare the people of the city in the slightest.

I saw that the ant colony flowing like red and bright blood had just spread to the edge of the city, and it was overwhelmed by countless trees and vines.

"Count ......," the small sounds made by countless ants formed a dull hum.

As the buzzing sounded, the ant colony quickly turned around and left the area.

But at this time, it is not for them to call the shots.

In the direction they left, countless ground was broken, the whirring whipping sound continued to sound, and the sudden tree vines seemed to be lurking in the ground for unknown years, and they seemed to have been waiting for the opportunity to raid.

The ant colony saw that the way was blocked, and the ant colony was damaged a lot by the two waves, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound with anger from the ant colony.

Suddenly, all the ants gave up eating, and instead crawled frantically towards the waving vines, once they climbed up, the sharp mouth began to bite hard, and after a while, the vines were bitten off a lot.

The vines that had been bitten off retracted into the soil, and more vines popped up in the blink of an eye.

The battle between the ant colony and the tree vine suddenly boiled over, and the blows and bites continued. And at this moment, in the city not far away, all the human beings are gathered under a green and mysterious tree.

The tree shimmered slightly, and the shape of the fruit was faintly visible in the flower-filled canopy.

A little girl stood under the tree, facing the crowd, she sat quietly cross-legged, her eyes closed, and her mouth was full of words, as if she were praying.

Others sat on their knees, clasping their hands in silence, as if following the girl in silent prayer.

Under the almost silent tree, not a single person moved at the sound of the sound coming from outside the city, and they seemed to be unaware.

After a long time, the noise outside the city ended, and the ant colony collapsed, leaving only a small group of marginal ants to leave smoothly.

The broken vine seemed to be fine, and the tail of the vine branch quickly lit the ground.

Looking closely, I saw that the ants that had eaten to the size of a fist were devoured one by one by the branches of the unfolded vines.

The mutant ant colony that ravaged most of the basin was crushed in this way.

Everything has natural enemies, and this is probably the truth, perhaps this is also a causal cycle, where the ant colony evolves itself by cannibalizing plants that absorb the energy of rain, and then is devoured by a more powerful mutant plant to strengthen itself.

in the city.

The girl under the tree opened a pair of overlapping eyes, looked at the crowd of people praying quietly, and a childish voice sounded, "The sacred tree has a word, and the danger has been solved." The tone was solemn but very calm and indifferent, like a doll.

"Thank you!"

"Dryad!"

The crowd seemed to be lifted from the pause button, and it was boiling in an instant, and the voices of people were noisy, all of them were full of admiration and longing, and the atmosphere of frenzy continued to rise.

At the same time, in the corners of the ruins outside the city, there were figures hidden in the shadows, watching the vines devour the ants, and there was no happiness in their hearts, but they were extremely frightened.

"Head, the Dryad is getting stronger again!" A dark and thin young man looked at the scene outside and exclaimed, his clenched hands couldn't help but tremble.

The young man known as the head watched in obscurity as the vine cleared the battlefield, and there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power on his body, which was the characteristic of a person who had just broken through to a first-level ability.

These people who hide in the shadows are also survivors of the city, but they are not believers in the Great Tree.

When the tree bloomed, and those stupid survivors were tempted into believing in the so-called "sacred tree", some "atheists" chose to leave, but by that time, it was too late.

As soon as the departers reached the edge of the city, they were blocked by countless tree vines, and when they took out their weapons to attack the tree vines, they lost their chance to live.

Seeing this situation, the later ones naturally didn't dare to break through forcibly anymore, so they could only flee back to the city in panic, but they witnessed the terrible scene with their own eyes.

They just returned to the city, and naturally they believed that the mutated tree was the divine tree that saved mankind!

That's a devil's tree!

As for why the tree has not been attacked by the humans in the city, they don't know, but they know that staying here is a dead end.

But know what, they can't leave the city, they can't leave the area shrouded in big trees!

"Let's go, go back to the city." The man's voice was extremely helpless, and before he woke up, he firmly believed that his people would definitely find a way to avoid the vines of the big tree and find a way to leave.

But now, the sensory enhancement brought by spiritual power and the early warning of supernatural abilities made him feel deeply powerless.

In the face of such a terrible behemoth, their previous persistent temptation and persistence was like a joke.

He only now understands that they have survived until now not because they are cautious enough, let alone because they are smart, but because they don't look at it at all!
