In the message, Su You gave the location of Kotka City.

It is a famous entertainment city in country A, where hundreds of film and television works are developed and put on the market every year, and there are countless film and television companies and brokerage companies.

Therefore, the city of Kotka is also known as the city of stars, and tens of thousands of young people come here every year to pursue their dreams and aspire to become famous overnight.

Li Sennian is worried that there are too many permanent residents and migrants in Kotka, and there are not a few people affected by the T virus.

The city behind it has been reduced to rubble by storms and earthquakes.

In this case, he received information that the situation in the city of Kotka was extremely serious, and the survivors had to not only deal with storms and earthquakes, but also accept the fact that their own kind had become zombies who had no sense and only knew how to eat flesh and blood.

The base transfer point, located in the Polly Mountains in the south of the city, is a good place to be, where the terrain is high, and the mountains are old and strong.

The problem is that the seaport city where he is now located, north of the city of Kotka, where air access has been completely banned, and private helicopters, affected by communications and volcanic ash, are no longer safe.

The only way to get there is to take a cruise south and then take a car to the Polly Mountains.

In this case, it is also possible that there will be unknown dangers on the road.

"Grandpa, the plants you look at in this photo don't seem to be the same as the ones we saw before."

While eating dinner, Serena took out a photo taken by CCD, and although it was obvious that there was a filter, it made it even more strange that the old vine trees in the garden were getting more and more weird.

Its vines were blood-red with sharp thorns that swayed in the wind, but if you looked closely, you could see that the vines near the trunk were clumped together, bulging, as if wrapped in the corpse of some large animal.

"Isn't this a piranha?" Serena's mother looked at it and thought with a frown, "I remember that only man-eating flowers have this habit, but doesn't this plant live in the rainforest?" ”

Li Xiannian took the photo, pursed his lips and said, "This is the garden behind the manor?" ”

"That's right, this afternoon, I wanted to take some photos in the garden, but I didn't expect to find such a scene in the depths."

Serena tapped her temple: "I heard from the housekeeper who took care of the manor, a gardener of the manor disappeared recently, he thought it was washed away by the water in the rainstorm, and he was busy repairing the manor and didn't have time to investigate. ”

"You mean the old vines in the garden eat people?"

Li Xiannian's expression was solemn, and he immediately summoned the housekeeper of the manor and asked him to take someone to investigate the garden.

He thought for a moment and specially advised: "Remember to bring some guys, I remember that there are collected knives in the collection room, you can also bring them." ”

After all, this incident was discovered by Serena, and after passing through the city of Snow, Serena showed extraordinary courage, and Li Xiannian took a fancy to this granddaughter.

He tapped his cane and said with a smile: "Serena, how about you in charge of investigating this matter?" ”

"No problem, grandpa." Serena nodded in agreement, "Can I bring my classmate Michael?" ”

Li Xiannian smiled and glanced at the young man not far away, because the refuge had also been transferred to the sea with them.

"Absolutely."

Serena was very enthusiastic to keep up with the old butler, and took a lot of swords from the collection room.

She deliberately took a fancy to a set of Tang knives of the Xia Kingdom, which had already been bladed, the blade was thick and simple, extremely sharp, like some kind of dark iron and stone hammer.

At the same time, it is also a treasured collection of grandpa.

"Wow, that's pretty cool!"

When Michael looked over, he found that the hilt and scabbard were carved with exquisite patterns, and under the light of the flashlight, there was a very dark streamer, which was very atmospheric.

"Serena, when did you learn the knife, why didn't I know?"

Michael sighed, after all, he was a childhood sweetheart, and he didn't know when Serena learned this technique.

Listening to Michael's words, Serena was not old after all, and there was a little pride in her eyes, "When I was looking for my grandfather during the summer vacation, my grandfather sent someone to teach me." I didn't expect it to come in handy now. ”

Michael pinched his chin and nodded in agreement, "That's right, maybe there will be a lot of zombies in Kotka City, and it seems that I have to step up my shooting training, but I can't delay you from retreating." ”

"Hmm." Serena could see that Michael's expression was still as relaxed as ever, and she didn't intend to poke him.

At that time, when Resident Evil occurred in Snowy City, his parents were on a business trip and could not be contacted, so they were with them for the time being.

After a series of disasters, communication was interrupted, and the opportunity to contact was lost.

Even Michael, who has always been optimistic, is extremely disappointed in his heart.

Serena sighed silently.

The group took their weapons and equipment and went to the garden.

The night was pitch black, with no moonlight and no lighting in the garden.

As the weather cools down and the storm hits, there is always a strange cold wind floating in the air.

They turned on the flashlight and saw that most of the plants in the garden had withered with the cooling, and their branches were hanging low.

The black-gray volcanic ash that settles on the ground covers the original brown color of the plants and the land, and even the insects have lost their traces, making it seem a little dead and silent.

"It's the old tree." Serena raised her hand and gestured over.

In the depths of the whole garden, the only thing that is alive is the old vine tree in the corner.

Although its blood-red branches hung low, sharp thorns stuck to the vines, they still swayed softly in the wind, and I always felt a strange vitality.

When you get close to it, you can still smell a faint smell of decay.

"What does it smell like? It smells bad. One of the servants fanned the strange smell on the tip of his nose and complained, "It's unbearable." ”

The old butler swept the shotgun in his hand, "Everyone be careful, pay attention to safety." ”

They stopped about three meters or so close to the vines forming a wall.

Serena gestured, and the old butler lit the petrol-stained fire in his hand, and threw it at him.

The rest of the people continued to spray gasoline on the vine wall, adding to the fire.

After being touched by the gasoline flames, the vines were nothing unusual at first, but when the fire burned violently, most of the vines began to twist violently like snakes, and frantically fled towards the roots not far away.

Some of the blood-red vines, which were not injured, noticed the hostility of the humans in front of them, and rushed frantically from the ground. (End of chapter)
