Stepping on the ground, everyone has a real feeling.

The soil here is soft and fertile, with a strong earthy smell.

Thankfully, there are protective suits that block most of the smells, which is not unpleasant for the player's keen sense of smell.

Xiang Li walked to the place where the pigeon was shot down.

As expected, the corpse on the ground vanished, not even a single feather remained.

The fat man took a sip: "Phew, this ghost thing, I don't even let go of a single hair!" ”

His voice was under the thick protective suit, and it looked like an urn.

Captain Huang looked around left and right, and the compass in his hand rotated wildly.

The magnetic field here is different, and it seems that we have to use the old way to find our way.

The man looked up at the sky, the dense canopy of trees blocked the sun tightly, and only the dappled and sparse light shone through the leaves, making the environment particularly dark and mysterious.

He carefully observed the rise of the moss on the trunks of the trees around him, and determined the general direction.

"The researcher lost contact with the mutated banyan tree, and we can only probe next to each other."

Captain Huang led the way with a gun in his hand, and the soldiers were carefully guarding the surroundings in the middle.

Cushion back to the pear team.

The surrounding forest was dead silent, and only the sound of people's breathing, footsteps, and the rubbing of clothes could be heard.

If you want to pass through here, you must be careful of the cluttered branches so that you don't get cut through your clothes.

Xiang Li observes her surroundings.

If you don't know the details of this place, almost everyone will think that this is just an ordinary forest deep in the mountains.

How could you have imagined that the danger hidden under the calm is everywhere.

A soldier's hazmat jacket sleeve was pulled by a horizontal branch, and he frowned, and with all his might, he heard a crisp "tear" sound, and his clothes were cut by a jagged branch.

He was wearing army green short sleeves inside, and the sleeves of the outer protective suit were torn, revealing the wheat-colored skin inside.

"What's going on?" Captain Huang heard the noise and turned his head to ask.

The soldier frowned: "What kind of quality is this clothes, why is it broken when you tear it......"

The next second-

The thick brown roots burst out of the earth, like living tentacles, and wrapped the soldier around his ankles, pulling him into the ground!

"Ahhh

The gun fell, and the soldier sank half into the dirt and grabbed the ground with his fingers.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hands and confront the strange roots underground.

The root of the tree that caught the prey was in the way, and after a pause, more tentacles sprang out of the dirt beside the soldier, and the serpent climbed up the soldier's shoulders and pressed him into the dirt.

Da-da-da-da!

The soldiers led by Captain Huang reacted and raised their guns to shoot at the roots of the tree, and for a while, black mud and green juice splashed.

The soldier struggled in terror, and his ten fingers sank into his companion's arm, making long marks: "Save me, Captain!" ”

"Don't move!" Captain Huang yelled at the soldiers.

The more you struggle, the faster and deeper you fall.

The soldier heard the captain's words, recalled the characteristics of the mutated plant explained by the man earlier, and forced himself to calm down.

And it worked!

The speed of the fall slowed down significantly, and the pressure on the companion who was holding the soldier's arm suddenly decreased.

Captain Huang: "Stop shooting!" Don't move, hurry, hurry! Dig him out, be careful, don't touch the roots! ”

Xiang Li and the others summoned weapons to help dig the soil.

Seeing that the situation was good, a bullet lost its accuracy in the panic and actually hit the soldier's shoulder.

"Ahh The soldier screamed in pain, a black hole appeared in his shoulder, and blood dripped down the roots.

The roots of the tree that entwined him skyrocketed several times, and the sudden tremendous force dragged the soldier into the ground.

"Save ...... Hmmm......"

The strength that erupted at the end of his life actually scratched five blood marks on the teammate who grabbed his arm, and half of his sleeve was torn off, tightly clutched in the soldier's hand, and disappeared into the black soil.

The dull screams were muffled under the dirt, and within seconds they regained their calm.

The teammate with an injured arm panicked: "Captain, I'm injured!" ”

Captain Huang: "Cover my wound tightly!" Quick, wrap the gauze around! ”

At this time, his teammates' eyes widened in horror, and they were caught off guard by being dragged into the ground by the roots of the tree under their feet.

Gollum –

The black dirt squirmed several times, and a stream of blood came out, which was quickly absorbed by the soil.

The smell of earth in the air is getting stronger.

"Gross!"

I didn't feel much smell before, but at this time, it smells unusually dull and disgusting.

"Two, what the hell are you doing?!" A teammate roared with red eyes and a soldier's collar.

"It's okay to make a little mistake, everyone never said anything about you! How can you drop the chain today? Killed two brothers in vain! ”

The fist slammed into the stunned boy's face.

"I ...... I didn't mean to......" The soldier who missed the bullet fell to his knees, staring at his hands in a daze.

"I'm sorry!"

He clenched the gun in his hand and aimed it at his temple, and bam!

The moment the corpse fell, it was dragged into the ground by the roots of the tree that washed out of the dirt.

An oppressive silence spread among the crowds.

"Be careful not to get cut through your protective clothing and keep going."

Captain Huang walked in front with a calm face.

Xiang Li and the others looked at each other.

Three people died as soon as they landed, and the land was really terrible.

Xiang Li rubbed the fabric of the sleeve of the protective suit and carefully felt how strong it was.

How can the protective clothing provided by the base for them be inferior, they can't break the fabric with an ordinary knife, and the quality is fine.

It's not the clothes that are the problem, it's the plants that are the problem.

The plants here have undergone apocalyptic baptism and have varying degrees of variation, the most obvious feature of which is that the branches and leaves have become extremely sharp.

Xiang Li: "Captain Huang, try not to touch these plants. ”

Captain Huang nodded: "Attention!" By removing excess branches beforehand, in short, never exposing your skin to the air! ”

Now, the speed of progress is slowed down again.

……

"Ouch, I'm tired." The fat man put his hands on his knees, gasped for air, and wanted to sit on the spot and rest for a while.

Suddenly thought of the scene where the blood soaked in the mud before, and forcibly lifted the falling buttocks.

Eino: "Poof-"

I walked around the forest for a long time, and there was no one in sight.

Captain Huang: "Everyone rests in place for half an hour. ”

I can rest, but I can't stand or sit.

The doctor silently drew a large knife and cut down the large tree that one person next to him could hug and used it as a chair.

The fat man quickly moved his ass up to the trunk of the tree and gave the doctor a thumbs up: "The doctor is so smart!" ”

The group relaxed for a while.

Fat man: "You say, there are people in this mountain......"

Click-

The sound of dry branches being trampled came from the forest.

Everyone stood up abruptly, clenching their weapons in their hands.

"Who's there?!"

A thin, dark old man came out of the woods.

"I'm a villager from Amu Village, are you here to find someone?"
