Volume 3: Alienation Chapter 23 First Encounter

"Get out of the way!" Meng Qingxiao shouted, "Stay away from this tree." ”

Meng Qingxiao's attack suddenly accelerated, and he kicked out several times in succession, kicking the tree man towards the bushes on the side.

This place is located at the foot of the mountain, three years ago there was a big road leading to the mountain, the road on both sides of the road is full of precious flowers, because of disrepair, precious flowers are more viable shrubs and weeds to deprive the living space, even the original stone road is almost invisible, all covered by dead weeds.

Bang, bang, bang......

Meng Qingxiao's every punch and kick hit this tree man, he could hear the sound, that sound, as if this tree man was not a real core, he was very strange in his heart, I don't know what principle this mutant man is based on, this thing has now even degenerated into branches, it can't really rely on roots to absorb nutrients like trees, right?

Although he was thinking crankily in his heart, Meng Qingxiao's movements under his hand did not stop at all, he just punched a few times in the same position, and finally broke a branch of the tree man.

A large amount of viscous blood quickly seeped out from the broken branch and blocked the wound, and in just a dozen seconds, the wound of the tree man disappeared.

Meng Qingxiao frowned at all this, and without hesitation, he took off the shotgun from his back and shot it at the trunk.

Their shotguns use single-headed bullets, which are designed to inflict greater damage on mutants at a shorter range, as well as to better protect artifacts.

The shotgun's powerful firepower knocked the tree man down with a single shot, but the result that Meng Qingxiao was expecting did not appear.

I saw that the tree man was like a tumbler, and he flicked his body and stood up again, and the new wounds on its body did not affect its movements in the slightest, and a large amount of viscous blood flowed out from the hole where the bullet had hit.

The one-headed bullet was also slowly squeezed out, but it did not fall to the ground, and the blood that flowed out gradually coagulated, and finally wrapped around the bullet, forming a bulge on the body of the tree man.

During this period, the tree man did not take the initiative to attack, and Meng Qingxiao did not attack, but frowned at all this, and the shotgun could not be used, so he could only hope for the steel war knife.

It's actually very simple to kill this tree man, there is medical alcohol in his backpack, and solid burning, if it doesn't work, he can also contact the military to use a drone to drop a barrel of gasoline, he believes that it only takes a little spark to burn this guy to ashes.

However, he had to think about the consequences, it was easy to burn it, and it was difficult to control the fire at the same time.

It was winter now, and there were a lot of dry weeds and shrubs at their feet, and not far above them there was an ancient building, which was the Qiwang Tower, all made of solid wood, which was really easy to burn.

At this time, the other three mutants who attacked the third group were finally solved under the siege of Yue Zuze and more than a dozen of them, Yue Zuze asked the uninjured team members to support the other teams, and he himself carefully approached Meng Qingxiao.

"Captain."

"Well, be careful, don't get hurt by its leaves."

"Captain, every time it pauses, it should be replenishing energy."

"How?"

"Just now there were five of us who were injured by the leaves of this thing, and the flesh we cut off quickly dried up, and then there will be a lot of roots in the dead flesh, and these roots will also wither along with the drying of the flesh, and normal plants can't wither so quickly, so I feel that it must have been absorbed by it in some way."

Meng Qingxiao nodded, he thought that Yue Zuze's analysis was very reasonable, and said, "This thing is very difficult to kill, my fist can't hurt it, and the shotgun can only cause some minor injuries to it, but it can recover quickly." ”

"Where's your knife, Captain?"

"I cut it off when I cut down a stone man just now."

"Then you can use mine."

"Stay away." Meng Qingxiao was not polite, took it directly, and greeted him again.

Meng Qingxiao had the experience of cutting stones before, and he paid great attention to mastering the skills with the knife this time, he was afraid that Yue Zuze's knife would also be broken, so he did not cut hard, but used skillful cutting.

This war knife is indeed extremely sharp, coupled with his great strength, it seems that he used to hit balloons with his fists, but now he has switched to using needles, and the effect is immediate, it seems to be a light knife, but it leaves a wound more than a meter long to the tree man.

The tree man let out a roar, the sound of dry trees rubbing against each other, and more leaves grew on its body, and a large number of leaves swept towards Meng Qingxiao like a hornet's nest.

Yue Zuze, who was not far away, was startled, the feeling of danger in his heart rose sharply, he subconsciously retreated again, if so many leaves hit him, I am afraid that he will be sucked dry in the blink of an eye.

"Oh my god, it's so horrible! How thick-skinned does our captain have to be to avoid being cut by the leaves? ”

A voice suddenly sounded in Yue Zuze's ears, and he didn't turn around to know that one of his team members was talking, so a scorpion swung his tail and kicked back, kicking the team member to the ground, and at the same time scolded in his mouth: "What nonsense." ”

Meng Qingxiao's eyelids jumped, even if his defense power was amazing, such a dense leaf could not guarantee that he would not be cut, if it was injured on his face, he would have to cut his face with a knife.

He hadn't practiced any knife skills, and he couldn't weave a knife net like the knights in martial arts novels, so he had to pull the zipper of the backpack behind him and pull out a coat from it, even if he brought out many bits and pieces in the backpack, he didn't care about picking them up.

Meng Qingxiao put his coat on his head, and then attacked the tree man again in the face of the impact of the leaves.

The pain on the back of his hand kept coming from the sawtooth cutting the skin, Meng Qingxiao was not sure if he was cut, but he couldn't care about it so much, he lowered his head and used the distance between the two of them to judge the position of the other party, raising the knife was a crazy chop, the other party had no hands, but it brought him a lot of convenience.

Meng Qingxiao could feel that the liquid in his right hand holding the knife began to flow, and soon it flowed into the tiger's mouth and between his fingers, and the sticky was almost certainly blood, but he didn't dare to stop, but instead slashed harder.

I don't know how many knives he chopped, but suddenly there was a piece of the tree under his hand, and a section of the tree was cut off by him and fell to the ground, and he saw through the gap in his clothes that the leaves floating in the air seemed to have a brief pause, and then began to fall, so he took the risk of tearing off his coat.

The tree man in front of him had been cut into a blur of flesh and blood, and the red blood flowing from its body seemed to be getting less and less, and now all that flowed out was clear liquid, and there was not a single leaf flying in the air, and it only took a few seconds for it to fall to the ground.

The Treant seemed to want to move his feet, but eventually collapsed to the ground, and its powerful recovery abilities could no longer help it recover.

Meng Qingxiao sat on the ground with his buttocks, panting heavily, although this period of time was not long, but his nerves were highly tense, and he consumed more physical strength than usual training for two hours.

Yue Zuze ran over quickly, and said with a concerned face: "Captain, quickly check and see if you are injured?" ”

"Don't worry, this guy should be fine if he dies." Meng Qingxiao comforted the other party, but he still checked his right hand, wiped the blood on it with his coat, and found that there was no wound on the back of his hand, and he was secretly relieved.

"How's the other squads doing?" Meng Qingxiao asked.

"I'll ask." Yue Zuze hurriedly responded, "This is 00, and each team reports the current situation." ”

00 is the captain's walkie-talkie number, 01 is the leader of the first group, 02 is the leader of the second group, and so on.

But ordinary fighters are different, one group of fighters is numbered from 101 until the end of 110, and two groups to nine groups of ordinary fighters have one more, and by the end of X11.

Yue Zuze asked with his walkie-talkie, he was worried that someone would not dump him, so he moved out 00.

Soon, Min Ke's voice sounded from the walkie-talkie: "A group of two people was slightly injured, no serious injuries, no combat attrition, the report is complete." ”

Then Fei Junding: "One person in the second group was slightly injured, there was no combat attrition, and the report was completed." ”

Yue Zuze also spoke: "Three groups of five people were slightly injured, no serious injuries, no combat attrition, and the report is complete." ”

Yu Rucheng: "One person in the four groups was seriously injured, one person was reduced in battle, and the report was completed." ”

Bao Tong: "There were 0 injured in the five groups, there was no combat attrition, and the report was completed." ”

Zhao Xuchen: "One person died in the six groups, one person was attrition in the battle, no one was injured, and the report was completed." ”

Han Youwei: "One person in the seven groups was slightly injured and one person was seriously injured, there was no combat attrition, and the report was completed." ”

Li Xiaoguo: "One person in the eight groups was slightly injured and one person was seriously injured, there was no combat attrition, and the report was completed." ”

"I am Zhao Pingsheng of the ninth group, our team leader is in a coma, and no one else is injured, and the report is complete."

Meng Qingxiao frowned and listened to the report, and then asked with his walkie-talkie: "What's the matter with the six groups?" ”

Zhao Xuchen said: "Yang Shen died, he was more unlucky, he fell to his death." ”

Meng Qingxiao shouted, "Fell to death? He didn't fly a parachute? ”

"It shouldn't have been too late, the resistance umbrella was open when he died, but it fell to the ground just after the wind."

"You can even make such a low-level mistake, what else can I expect you to do?" Meng Qingxiao was so angry that he jumped like thunder.

Finally calming down, Meng Qingxiao continued to ask, "What is the situation of the four groups?" ”

Yu Rucheng reported: "We met a mutant with a huge scorpion tail growing on his buttocks, Che Xiaoxu's feet were pierced through the chest with a scorpion tail before his feet landed, although I cut off the scorpion tail in time to save him, but he seems to have been poisoned and is now unconscious." ”

"What about groups seven and eight?"

Han Youwei: "Seven groups of Luo Kai were bitten off three fingers of his left hand, and now the bleeding has stopped and will not affect the next battle." ”

Li Xiaoguo: "Group 8 Lu Cheng is blind in his right eye, which does not affect the battle. ”

"What's going on with the nine groups?"

Zhao Pingsheng: "Two of our team members were entangled in a moving vine, and Captain Wan Qi cut down the vine in order to save them, and she herself was drenched by the grass juice sprayed from the vine, and she fainted within a few minutes, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed." ”

"Did you inject the antidote?"

"It's injected."

"No effect?"

"It should have worked, I feel that her breathing is much more stable, but she still can't wake up."

"Each group calls in drones and sends everyone who needs treatment back to the city for treatment." Meng Qingxiao instructed, "Then all the leaders of each group will come to my place to gather, and the others will stand by, pay attention to vigilance, and report any danger in time." ”

"Yes."

"Oh, Zhao Pingsheng of the ninth group, and you will temporarily take over the position of team leader until your team leader returns."

Zhao Pingsheng: "Yes." ”

"Assemble."

Zhao Pingsheng: "Yes." ”

Soon the leaders of each group arrived, Meng Qingxiao's gaze swept over everyone, and then said lightly: "This is the first time you have participated in actual combat, let's talk about it, how do you feel?" ”

The nine team leaders all lowered their heads involuntarily, and for a while, no one made a speech.

Meng Qingxiao was slightly surprised and said, "Why, just such a small setback hit you like this?" ”

"Let's talk about it as a group." Min Ke said, "My mind is now full of the same question that the captain asked us before we set off, and he asked everyone, is there any cowardice in our hearts?" ”

Min Ke smiled wryly, "To be honest, I was still very unimpressed, we have experienced so long of cruel training, and we have to torture ourselves to death every time we train, I feel that my mind is as hard as iron, but just now, when the captain was working hard for us, all the people in our group vomited, including myself, if it weren't for the help of the brothers in the second group, my group would probably lose a lot this time." ”

Fei Junding, the leader of the second group, said: "You're welcome." ”

Yue Zuze of the third group said: "It's a shame to say that our group has the largest number of wounded, and if it weren't for the team leader, we would probably be wiped out, just a mutant, and it would have made us so embarrassed, it's really embarrassing." ”

The four groups of Yuru Cheng said: "Everyone is too proud, it should be a good thing to use this actual battle to defeat everyone's arrogance." ”

Bao Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't have anything to say, we are lucky that we didn't meet mutants." ”

Zhao Xuchen said: "We haven't met mutants either, it's just-alas......"

Soon, everyone made speeches, and Meng Qingxiao did not participate, allowing them to discuss and summarize, and only after all of them finished speaking, he said: "I am very happy that you can have a harvest, and then assign the next task...... Oh yes, Zhao Xuchen, you go and bring Yang Shen's knife to me, my one is broken. ”
