Wei Chi nodded: "Something is definitely wrong. Let's continue investigating."
Ye Yanling stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then said, "Do you think the strange behavior of this mutated rat has anything to do with its foul smell?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chi looked at him and asked, "You mean, those stenches can stop the strange rats from attacking?"
"No, it's not an attack, it's paralysis."
Ye Tianfei suddenly realized: "I know, they must have accidentally discovered that this smell can paralyze the strange rats, or rather, it can paralyze all strange species, making them mistakenly believe that there are no humans inside. At the same time, this smell can slow down their movements."
Ye Yanling's eyes flashed with excitement: "I'm a little curious to meet the people inside. If our guess is right, then the person who discovered this problem in the first place is simply a genius."
Lin Sheng suddenly spoke up: "Look, there are still strange trees here. Don't their roots and branches look like they're about to attack?"
A group of people quickly looked at the screen, and sure enough, the roots and branches of several strange trees were moving towards the shelter, and they were all very long, which was a bit creepy.
Wei Chi looked at the shelter and said, "Retrieve the drone, plug our noses, and go into the shelter."
This time, everyone was mentally prepared. After plugging their noses again, they took a deep breath and headed to the entrance once more.
Just as they were preparing to enter the shelter, Ye Jingyan and the others arrived at the entrance of Qingshan Park. After seeing the deformed iron gate and the large area of dried blood at the entrance, the group became more vigilant and slowly walked through the gate.
At the top of Qingshan Park, there is a small temple where the local earth god is enshrined. Local residents often come up to visit and sit there when they have free time.
Qingshan Park is well-preserved, lush and green all year round, with different plants blooming in each season, making it clean and beautiful.
Before the apocalypse, this place was only open to the elderly and children under ten years old for free. Everyone else had to buy a ticket to enter, which cost twenty yuan.
But it was no longer the same as before. The plants here were all bare, with only gray snow and blackish-gray plants, devoid of any vitality and lifeless.
As we went up the slope, we could hear a rustling sound coming from the surrounding snow.
Song Jie shuddered at the sound. She looked down at what was in the snow, but she couldn't see anything.
She quickly looked at the others and realized that they all had very calm expressions.
She silently looked away. Fine, she's the weakling here.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Smack!"
Tree roots shot into the air, and before Song Jie could react, a blue ice wall appeared in front of her, blocking the mud and snowflakes stirred up by the tree roots. Then, she was pulled behind Moody, while their ice blades and golden machetes cut down the tree roots in mid-air.
In just one encounter, the roots of the trees that attacked them were all severed.
But this is just the beginning. The park has no shortage of trees, especially since all the trees here have mutated. Now that humans have finally arrived, how could they possibly miss out?
A deluge of tree roots and branches assaulted them, each branch as agile and venomous as a poisonous snake.
Ye Jingyan said to everyone, "Find the tree heart. Only by destroying the tree heart can they die completely."
Everyone knew that without Ye Ling absorbing the evil energy and miasma, there was no need to keep these strange trees; they had to be killed completely, otherwise countless more people would be harmed by them.
