Chapter 392 Chapter 391 Unfounded Worry

After saying that, Lao Gao immediately used his supernatural power to gather a ball of energy in his hand. Seeing that ball of energy growing larger and larger, Captain Zhang felt something was wrong and shouted, "Not good, quickly retreat."

The trained team members obeyed such orders almost subconsciously. After everyone retreated far away and Lao Gao's energy ball touched the tentacles and exploded, they finally understood why they had to retreat. If they didn't retreat because of this wave of energy, they would probably be affected by the aftermath.

"No, Lao Gao, can you please be more careful? We are all ordinary people and may not be able to withstand your attack."

Captain Wang's words were very tactful, but his meaning was very clear, that is, he almost hurt someone.

Lao Gao, who had just escaped death, didn't think he'd pay attention to such things. But when he looked at his scattered teammates, he realized he'd been too reckless and apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, I almost died just now. I really didn't pay attention. I promise everyone, if there's a next time, I'll let you know in advance."

Yes, it is not possible not to take revenge. The most I can do is think about it and let them know.

Captain Zhang was also helpless towards the four of them. In the end, he said nothing. He just sighed and said, "Alright, let's take a quick look at those tentacles. I don't know if this explosion can kill them."

'ah. '

Screams came one after another from all around them. When they followed the sound, many team members had already been caught by the tentacles on the ground.

The tentacles were blown to pieces by Lao Gao. Logically speaking, no creature could survive in such a form, but these tentacles, no matter what form they originally had, all merged and grew together at this moment. When the team members were not paying attention, its form became larger and larger, as if no matter how many tentacles there were just now, it had absorbed them all into one.

Originally, Lan Jin wanted to use his special powers to save the team members who had just been captured, but he was one step too late. After these team members were captured, they were immediately scratched by the tentacles, and new tentacles also grew out of their bodies.

These newly grown tentacles did not directly harm them, but slowly merged with the large tentacle, until finally the bodies of the team members were absorbed by these tentacles and became its nutrients.

The tentacles, all fused together, were enormous. Captain Zhang panicked and said, "This thing is as tall as a three-story building. Lan Jin, use electricity and see if you can kill it. Everyone, be careful not to get hurt by the tentacles when you're being electrocuted."

However, before Lan Jin started to use his special powers, Ling Jiang froze all the tentacles in place with one move of ice, leaving only the top of the head exposed.

Ling Jiang said, "Come on, Lan Jin, let's do it this way to avoid hurting anyone."

Lan Jin nodded and immediately used his lightning ability to strike down from the top of the tentacle.

The tentacles that were electrocuted continued to struggle on the spot, but after struggling for a while, the tentacles fell to the ground. Ling Jiang then used his ice ability again to freeze the entire tentacles.

The tentacle monster was temporarily dealt with here, but how to transport such a large mass of things, or where to transport it, and what to do next were not their concerns.

Captain Zhou contacted and reported, and soon a group of people came and took the tentacle monster out of the base. No matter what, as long as the base was safe and the residents were safe, it was enough for the time being.

However, the leaders on the surveillance camera had seen Lan Jin and the other three's actions clearly. After a moment of silence, they began to ask, "What's going on with these four people? Their superpowers are so strong that it's a bit unusual."

"Which base were they from before? Let's call their leader over and ask him."

This tentacle will be transported out of the base, and Captain Zhang will be called away by the leaders.

Naturally, there was nothing for Lan Jin and the others to do at the original place, so he received an order from Captain Zhou and went back to continue guarding the store.

Back at the store, Lan Jin was in a bad mood. "We just had a few days of simple life, and I just felt like we were back to the beginning of the apocalypse. How come something like this happened again?"

What Lan Jin called the early stage of the apocalypse was the period after the apocalypse came. Life was hard but there were no monsters to disturb their lives.

God knows that although business was difficult at that time, it was still precious compared to the current situation.

Ling Jiang said, "I don't know where these tentacles came from. I've never seen anything like them before, not even in the dense forest. It can't be a new species, right?"

Huang Jinghe pondered for a long time, and after thinking of a possibility, he said, "Do you think that tentacle looks familiar?"

"look familiar?"

The three of them were puzzled, but after thinking for a long time, they still couldn't remember what it looked like, so they asked, "Just tell me, I can't remember what it looks like at all."

"Don't you think it looks a lot like the plants in the dense forest? Although it didn't grow directly into a tree, its tentacles started out green, then turned a dark earthy color after being blasted by Lao Gao. And after they merged together again, the tentacles, while still soft, became much thinner and more and more like vines."

Sometimes I don’t think about that point and it seems okay, but once I think about it, I can’t look straight at it.

Lao Gao asked again, "So, now you suspect that thing is a tree in the forest, and the tentacles are just its initial form. After being destroyed, it can evolve again. If it encounters something else along the way, I'm afraid..."

"I think they are very dangerous." Huang Jinghe said in a firm tone.

But these are just his guesses, there is no evidence.

Ling Jiang asked, "So what do you want to do? Report your suspicions, but you have no evidence."

"I know, so I just have some doubts and analyze it by the way. As for the evidence..." He couldn't produce any at all, so without any evidence, he had no intention of reporting it to his superiors.

Lan Jin sighed, "Anyway, I feel like the world we live in is becoming more and more fantastical."

Lao Gao disagreed, "Although these experiences may sound fantastical, I still believe they are man-made."

"But man-made things are also terrifying. These technologies don't look like something humans could have done." Huang Jinghe didn't want to continue before he finished speaking. "Forget it, I won't say anymore. The more I talk, the more fantastical it becomes."

"Why think so much? Maybe once the tentacle monster is dealt with, everything will be over. We're just worrying about nothing."

But is it really over?
