Chapter 266: The Quagmire
The trembling voice fell, and everyone present suddenly became nervous.
"Like...... It's to see that there are fewer people......" Liu Peng couldn't make up his mind, and looked around hesitantly.
With insufficient lighting and a limited field of vision, a team of 100 people could not see all of them in the woods, and only an approximate number of people could be obtained based on the size of the crowd.
Du Ze counted his subordinates as soon as possible, and in order to avoid visual errors, he simply answered by roll call.
One by one, Du Ze's expression became more and more solemn.
The number of Falcon Squad participants in the mission was 40, but now after the count, only 36 people remain, and 4 people are missing!
Du Ze took the lead, and the rest of the team immediately began to count the number of people. Soon, the preliminary data was reported to Liu Peng.
The glamorous female assistant lowered her voice, "The Falcon squad is missing 4 people, and the other teams are missing 3 people combined, and 7 people are already missing." ”
Liu Peng's face froze, "Have you found everything nearby?" ”
"I've searched all over it, no, I haven't found the living or the dead." The assistant frowned.
With the enjoyment of rights comes the responsibility of responsibility.
Liu Peng brought 100 people out to perform the task this time, and Liu Peng will also be assessed above. If the fight starts and is eaten by zombies, it's okay to say, but now I don't see a single zombie face, and 7 people have been lost, and he will be punished when he goes back.
Suddenly, nearly a tenth of the population was missing, and the people in the ranks were suddenly in turmoil.
The ones with fixed teams are better, and the remaining small teams are immediately ownerless. Although everyone looked down on Liu Peng, a relationship with mediocre ability, but now that it was time to make an idea, everyone invariably turned their attention to him.
Someone has to take the blame, right?
"Have you noticed that the missing ones are all men?" Someone in the crowd raised their voices in surprise.
After his reminder, more people soon discovered the anomaly of the missing person.
"All of them are male, about 25-35 years old." Someone was quick to sum up the common ground.
Zhang Tuo, who looked nervous, suddenly jumped up, and pointed at Sun Lu excitedly and yelled, "Where did you get my brother!" ”
Sun Lu frowned unhappily, "Are you crazy?" Am I a kindergarten teacher? Still have to be responsible for watching a few of you giant babies who haven't been weaned? ”
"When my brother rescued Zhang Miaomiao, you were upset, and you scolded them for being a waste of sperm worms! The people who are missing now are all different from you at the time, what are you pretending? The more Zhang Tuo spoke, the more excited he became, and he rushed up to fight with Sun Lu, "Vicious woman!" ”
After he said this, everyone present looked at Sun Lu with a hint of suspicion.
Sun Lu's team is all women, and the missing people this time are all men. This kind of coincidence inevitably makes everyone have more divergent thinking in their hearts.
"Don't be funny, if I want to kill this piece of shit, do I have to sneak around?" Sun Lu shook off her short ear-length hair contemptuously.
Even in the deep space base full of talents, her combat power ranks among the top few. This time, it's just to brush up on the contribution of the new members of the team, so I brought people over to do the task.
"It's you pig brains, when did people start to lose them? It started when they saved this suspicious woman! You don't doubt Zhang Miaomiao, but you suspect our Sun team, what a bunch of fools. Sun Lu's deputy Li Jingjing said with a cold face.
The public criticism suddenly turned to Zhang Miaomiao.
Facing several suspicious glances, Zhang Miaomiao's pale and blood-lost little face suddenly tensed, and a weak voice squeezed out of her throat, "It's not me, I haven't left the team the whole time, how can I kill someone in front of so many of you?" ”
The licking dog No. 1 and No. 2 next to Zhang Miaomiao hesitated, and finally decided to stand up and protect the goddess, "Yes, Miao Miao has always followed the big army, and she has never been alone, so she has never had a chance to start." ”
"They all said no! What about the man? Can people still grow wings and fly?! Liu Peng complained for a while, picked up a flashlight and hurriedly swept towards the darkness deep in the dense forest, "Get up and find someone for me!" ”
The boundless night is like a silent mouth of blood, swallowing the light of the flashlight in an instant.
Everyone was vigilant and unwilling to take the first step.
Zhang Tuo's eyes were red, and seeing that everyone was reluctant to move, he simply rushed into the night alone, "You bastards! Lao Tzu went to find it himself! ”
After a chaotic running sound, Zhang Tuo's figure gradually disappeared from view.
Everyone waited in silence for a minute or two, and someone couldn't hold their breath and whispered into the thick night, "Zhang Tuo, come back!" Let's find out together! ”
All that answered him was the rustling of leaves.
Liu Peng couldn't sit still, and immediately ordered everyone to immediately look in the direction where Zhang Tuo disappeared.
Except for Lu Sheng and Sun Lu's team, the remaining dozens of people shrank into a ball and moved their steps carefully.
Before he could get a few meters away, someone let out a scream.
"! Front! There's a head in front! ”
At the same time, the light of several flashlights instantly concentrated not far ahead.
A few steps away, a blue-black paint-like liquid about half a meter in diameter was slowly submerging Zhang Tuo.
The liquid was like an ointment, and the surface was like boiling water, and oily bubbles the size of ping-pong balls kept gushing out.
Zhang Tuo faced the direction of everyone, and the paint-like liquid had already flooded his neck, leaving only a head with messy hair, staring blankly.
He raised his hands lifelessly above his head, making strange gestures of beckoning.
This terrifying scene almost scared the souls of everyone present.
It's inland, and there's a heavy asphalt road underneath your feet. Even this dense forest that covers the sky and the sun has to open a hole in the road before it can break through the ground.
Zhang Tuo is 1.8 meters tall, where did he come from in the quagmire where he couldn't get in?
"Hurry up, pull him up!" Du Ze immediately ordered his wood-based abilities.
The members of the Falcon team immediately threw out the vines with thick bowl mouths and flew straight to Zhang Tuo's side, "Brother Tuo! Reach out and hold on! ”
However, in the next second, the corners of Zhang Tuo's mouth opened a strange arc, and the godless eyes rolled up slightly, revealing a large area of bloodshot whites.
"Damn, are people scared stupid, why don't you move."
The Falcon team's plant adepts were startled, gritted their teeth and drove the vines around Zhang Tuo's wrist, "Brother Tuo! You catch! We'll pull you up! ”
The thick vines at the mouth of the bowl quickly wrapped around the forearm in their hands, and several members of the Falcon team pulled back desperately with all their strength, trying to pull Zhang Tuo out of the quagmire.
But Zhang Tuoshan was like a few hundred catties of lead tied to him, and the four or five of them couldn't pull a single bit!
"There are a lot of people, so it's lively."
Just when everyone was thinking of a way, Zhang Tuo suddenly showed a cruel smile, and tightened his arm and pulled a handful of vines.
Before the members of the Falcon team could react, two people were dragged to the ground by Zhang Tuo, dragged by the huge inertia of the vines towards the bottomless quagmire.
At the critical moment, Du Ze made a quick decision, pulled out a long knife and struggled to cut the vines that pulled the two of them, which saved the two unlucky eggs.
After tossing this time, the paint liquid in the quagmire had not reached Zhang Tuo's chin.
As the corners of his mouth raised, the blue-black liquid stuck to his teeth, and his expression of horror was chilling.
What's even more disturbing is that the bubbling liquid under him is gradually expanding as it devours Zhang Tuo's body!
Just now they saw that the diameter was only half a meter, but now the diameter is obviously larger!
This puddle of mud is like life, expanding as it is swallowed.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other.
"Captain Du, what should we do......?" The remaining members of the Falcon Squad looked at Du Ze nervously.
Du Ze's face was pale, and he was silent and did not speak.
In the last days, there is a price to pay for saving people, and when the price paid is greater than the value of the rescued, the deal is not worth it.
This time, Liu Peng was extremely nervous, and kept urging Lu Sheng, "You guys, go over and get people out!" Don't you have earth-based abilities? In this case, if you don't make a move, what about keeping the ability for the New Year? ”
When Lu Sheng and the others heard this, their faces immediately sank.
She wanted to get the materials of the Qingshan base and the news about the zombie virus vaccine, so she indulged Liu Peng to jump until now.
But this does not mean that Liu Peng can always be unscrupulous in front of her.
Targeting them three times and twice, and specifically pushing the most dangerous things over, are they really being bullied?
"Did I give you face?" Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Liu Peng with a pair of cold eyes.
didn't wait for Liu Peng to speak, Sun Lu next to him choked unpleasantly, "Commissioner Liu, you are not sick in your head, right?" Who brings the people and who is responsible for dealing with them, and the people of the Falcon Squad have an accident and let others wipe their butts? ”
"You have to pee out when you catch a toad, don't you?"
Sun Lu glanced at Du Ze, turned around and pushed Liu Peng, "Don't look at a few young girls who are bullied to death, stay a line and see each other in the future." ”
She was a warm-hearted person before the end of the world, and she awakened her powerful talent for the first time after the end of the world, so she usually does what she wants, and if she can't get used to it, she has to say it directly.
What's more, Sun Lu is also a young girl, and she knows how difficult it is for women to survive in the last days, so the members of the team are all women, in order to take care of each other.
Liu Peng's face was flushed with Sun Lu's choking, but he didn't dare to really turn his face with Sun Lu, and finally simply sat on the ground with a broken can, "Then what do you say!" You're so hot that you go! You bring people back! ”
"Just go, at least I won't dare to make a move while watching my subordinates die."
Sun Lu glanced at the silent Du Ze with disdain, and motioned to the bespectacled little girl behind her with her eyes, "Throw a vine to the opposite tree, tie a rope around my waist, and pull me back immediately if something is wrong." ”
