Mission in Progress 05

Wen Yan retracted the fire in his palm, and Tang Xiaoyan slowly calmed down. She said nothing but just shed tears silently.

Jiang Lin was unsure what to do with the jar of plants in her hand. Wen Yan saw her dilemma and took the jar and burned it.

"Ahhh, how dare you." The experimenter's eyes were wide open, as if their eyeballs were about to fall out.

He suddenly stood up and ran out the door so fast that Jiang Lin and the others had no time to stop him.

Tang Xiaoyan slowly got up from the ground: "If I become like them, please kill me." Her voice was extremely calm.

"What secrets does this experimental base have?" Jiang Lin wanted to know more information from Tang Xiaoyan while she was conscious.

Unfortunately, Tang Xiaoyan's eyes became distracted again as soon as she finished asking. Jiang Lin sighed resignedly as he heard a rustling noise outside.

The four of them looked at each other and walked out of the room. In the dim experimental base, a bunch of experimenters with green eyes appeared and looked at them as if they were looking at food.

"Come closer and act accordingly." Wen Yan took out his weapon and pointed it at the group of experimenters.

But Tang Xiaoyan acted as if she didn't hear anything and suddenly ran forward frantically.

"Come back!" Jiang Lin grabbed her wrist and pulled it back forcefully.

An experimenter walked out from behind, his body began to twist abnormally, and dark green vines crawled out of his mouth, constantly growing longer.

"What are these things?" Chen Siwei couldn't believe his eyes. Are these people in front of him still human?

"Run." Jiang Lin pulled Tang Xiaoyan and ran towards the exit.

Wen Yan followed behind, throwing fireballs at the experimenters behind him while running to cover their escape.

"You can't escape." Countless vines slowly crawled along the ground in the dim passage to their feet and grabbed their ankles.

Sheng Wei fell first, and Jiang Lin used his ice skates to cut off the vines surrounding her feet. But it was too late, and he was also entangled by the vines that caught up with him.

"Woo, woo." Tang Xiaoyan had been tangled like a cicada pupa when Jiang Lin saved Sheng Wei.

Jiang Lin was not at an easy time either. There were many broken vines at her feet, but there were still endless vines coming towards her.

Wen Yan carefully avoided his teammates' bodies and burned these strange vines.

"Be careful." Jiang Lin acted quickly and cut off the vines that were about to bind Wen Yan's hands.

Seeing Wen Yan escape, she breathed a sigh of relief, but before long, the vines seemed to be enraged and rushed towards them in an overwhelming manner.

In an instant, several people were wrapped like cicada pupae.

Jiang Lin wanted to use her supernatural powers to cut off all the damn vines, but a cold touch climbed up her neck and quickly tightened, and she lost consciousness instantly.

The experimenter looked at the people wrapped like cicada pupae with bloodthirsty greed in his eyes, as if he was looking at some delicious food.

An experimenter who looked obviously of higher status stepped out from the darkness and said, "The king wants to see her."

As soon as the words fell, several experimenters withdrew their gaze, but the vines continued to drag them into the abyss of the experimental base.

When Jiang Lin regained consciousness, she felt like she was hanging in the air with her head down. The feeling was so uncomfortable that she felt like vomiting.

It was still dark around her, and she should still be inside the cocoon wrapped in vines.

Jiang Lin concentrated her attention and felt the water molecules in the air. The water resources here seemed to be extremely abundant, which greatly enhanced her potential for supernatural powers.

I don't know when the fine water vapor had penetrated into the bodies and cracks of these vines.

"boiling."

In an instant, all the water vapor evaporated, and the high temperature caused the vines to fall one after another, twisting painfully on the ground. Jiang Lin took out his dagger and cut them off one by one.

When she got up from the ground, she was surprised to find that the place was almost full of experimenters, and they were looking devoutly in her direction, not behind her.

Jiang Lin turned around and a strangely shaped tree appeared in front of her.

The roots of this tree are deeply embedded in the underground water, crisscrossing the entire underground water system.

The stump was very wide and thick, but it was covered with plants that were in jars at the time. Dense fungi grew on the stump, absorbing its nutrients and living in symbiosis with it.

Jiang Lin's scalp tingled when she saw this. She couldn't help but touch her face. Fortunately, her mask was still there.

She suspected that this highly fertile fungus was spread through spores, and that these tiny spores entered the human body through water and air and reproduced.

So are these experimenters still human?

The chill spread to every part of his body. Jiang Lin used an ice knife to cut off his companion who was also hanging upside down on the tree. One of the vines started to catch fire. Wen Yan walked out of the fire with some ash on his face.

Tang Xiaoyan and Sheng Wei are still in a coma.

"Wake up my guest." Murmurs were heard around.

All the experimenters' attention instantly shifted from the tree to Jiang Lin.

"Are you ready to receive my blessing?" The voice was filled with obvious joy.

A thick air rushed towards Jiang Lin and Wen Yan. Jiang Lin closed her eyes for she was afraid that these ghost things would parasitize in her eyes.

Wen Yan waved his hand, and the air began to burn, with a burnt smell.

I have to say that his fire ability is really useful here, Jiang Lin sighed.

"How dare you." The voice that originally held contempt and joy turned angry, and the eyes of the group of experimenters below seemed to want to eat them.

Jiang Lin was finally able to confirm that the sound seemed to come from that tree.

"Why can trees talk?" As she spoke, boiling hot water fell from the sky onto the ugly tree, and there was also a blanket of ice knives.

Unfortunately, the vines that suddenly appeared blocked the ice knives, but the tree was indeed bulged by the boiling water.

It looks much more comfortable without those densely packed fungi.

"Kill her." The voice was completely enraged.

All the experimenters seemed to be waiting for it to give the order and suddenly rushed towards Jiang Lin's direction.

"You're kidding, these are the experimenters."

Jiang Lin's eyes turned slightly red, and the water under the big tree rose into the air and wrapped around the experimenters as if it had life, and then instantly turned into sharp ice spikes and pierced into their bodies.

But what came out was not blood but green juice.

Seeing so many experimenters vulnerable to Jiang Lin's hands, the voice did not become more angry but admired: "Become my believer, and I will give you eternal life."

"Are you saying that you want me to become a monster like them?" Jiang Lin looked at him with sarcasm.

"No, you will become the master of this land. How about it, are you willing to rule the world with me?" The voice was filled with endless temptation.

"I don't think so."

The water under the tree suddenly churned and hot air continued to rise.

"What are you doing!"

"Of course I'll cook you." Jiang Lin said calmly as if he was talking about something ordinary.

"Hahahahahahaha." The voice seemed to have heard something funny.

Jiang Lin felt very strange. The next second, she felt a light behind her. A strong intuition made her turn around.

I don't know when a vine appeared on the ground, and these vines quickly formed the shape of a person.

"Axin, let her see what real power is." Dashu's voice sounded, and Jiang Lin was stunned for a second. He seemed to have heard the name Axin from Tang Xiaoyan.

In this moment of distraction, the experimenter who had transformed from a vine took the sharp wooden thorn in his hand and stabbed it into Jiang Lin's eyes without hesitation.

Wen Yan was so fast that he didn't have time to react.

"You are not qualified to kill me." Jiang Lin leaned back to avoid the attack.

Then he threw several ice knives forward, which pierced Ashin's body and made him bleed some green juice, but he seemed to feel no pain.

At the same time, more vines surged into the bodies of the experimenters, and all the corpses that were originally floating on the water came back to life.

It's as terrifying as a horror movie.

Jiang Lin's abilities were limited, and he couldn't deal with the tree and fight these experimenters at the same time.

Wen Yan also quickly joined the battle. His ability was very violent, almost like throwing fireballs at people.

But these vines seemed to be endless and kept resurrecting the dead experimenters.

Later on, Jiang Lin was finding it a bit strenuous to fight, and she felt herself getting tired, but their backpacks were not nearby.

When one's mental strength is not focused, one will reveal flaws, and Jiang Lin was no exception. The experimenter named Ashin found her weakness and stabbed her with a sharp wooden thorn with hatred.

"Ah Xin, don't!" Tang Xiaoyan woke up without knowing when.

"No, no!" She rushed over desperately and hugged Ashin's body.

Tang Xiaoyan's joining gave Jiang Lin an opportunity to escape.

The experimenter named Ashin pushed Tang Xiaoyan away without any hesitation, and Tang Xiaoyan fell heavily to the ground.

Ashin turned around and continued to fight with Jiang Lin, while Wen Yan was teasing other experimenters behind her.

These things cannot be burned by wildfires, and will grow again with the spring breeze.

Jiang Lin's mood gradually became irritable. If they delayed any further, the situation would be disadvantageous to them. They had to solve these problems quickly.

"Wen Yan, burn that tree!" Jiang Lin shouted, and devoted some of his attention to dealing with the other experimenters, so that Wen Yan could have his hands free to burn the tree.

Wen Yan didn't hesitate at all, and the fire burned along the vines and even onto the tree.

The experimenters' resurrection rate slowed down significantly because the vines were summoned to the big tree to help put out the fire.

Jiang Lin took advantage of the moment when Ashin was distracted by worrying about Dashu and beat him up, then quickly ran to Sheng Wei's side.

"Wake up, I don't have the strength to carry you." A bucket of cold water was poured directly on Sheng Wei's face, and his hand pressed hard on her philtrum.

"If you pinch me again, I will really die." Sheng Wei woke up slowly.

"No time to joke around, run away quickly." Jiang Lin winked at Wen Yan, and the firepower from the big tree instantly increased.

Taking advantage of this gap, several people ran outside quickly.

"It seems like someone is missing." Sheng Wei said breathlessly while running.

“Who is it?”

"Chen Siwei."

Jiang Lin was silent for a moment. How could he have forgotten him? "It's too late to save him. Get out first."

"He should be locked up somewhere else." Wen Yan said. There were indeed only four of them wrapped like cicada pupae and hanging on the tree.

Chen Siwei should have been sent to a different place.

Faint light shone in from outside, and Jiang Lin felt like he saw the dawn, and his pace quickened a lot.

Finally, they ran out of the base.

However, no one dared to stop. They ran for a long distance and made sure that the base was out of sight. Only then did Jiang Lin, who was at the front, stop.

Sheng Wei, who was following behind, didn't stop in time and pounced on her.

"How can you repay kindness with evil!" Jiang Lin closed his eyes and prepared to welcome the embrace of the earth.
