The midday sun is getting hotter and hotter. The scorching sun is burning the streets of the city. The air is filled with a stuffy atmosphere, which makes people feel irritable involuntarily.
On the street, there was a strange scene: seven or eight human survivors stood in a line. The person at the back reached out a hand and grabbed the shoulder or clothes of the person in front, overlapping them like they were playing a train game.
In this hot weather, they were still wearing thick masks, and everyone was sweating profusely, but no one was willing to take off the mask.
The person at the front of the line was wearing a well-equipped military helmet. He seemed to be the leader of the team and was leading the team to confirm the direction.
Every time the direction changed, it was a standard right-angle turn. The people behind looked nervous and did not dare to cross the line.
Compared with the people behind him, Ding Jun at the front was the one under real pressure. The weather was already hot, and he was sweating profusely because everyone else had to wear an extra helmet.
But this is nothing. The main thing is that the view inside the helmet makes him feel scared.
This is a standard military helmet with thermal imaging function. At this time, the field of vision is full of red warmth, and it is almost impossible to find a place to step.
Originally, the team could sense the growth locations of the white flowers with the faint sunlight in the early morning. Now, the whole team relies on this helmet to avoid the invisible white flowers with sharp thorns.
But now the sun is getting bigger and bigger, and the temperature sensor of the helmet can no longer accurately determine the location of the white flowers.
"It's getting hotter and hotter. We have to hurry back. Follow closely and don't step on the wrong spot."
Ding Jun spoke up to remind the people behind him, and their faces tightened and they became more cautious.
But at this moment, a figure in front of them made everyone look terrified in an instant!
It was a creature over three meters tall, standing on two legs. It looked like a bird, but had a dog's head. Its body was covered with long gray-white hair, and its tail alone was nearly two meters long.
The strange bird-beast seemed to have also discovered the humans here, and it dodged and rushed towards this side repeatedly, as if it could see invisible white flowers.
"Hold on tight! Follow me!"
Ding Jun roared loudly, awakening everyone who was frightened to death by the birds and beasts, and the team began to speed up desperately.
But even though the monster was chasing them, everyone still didn't dare to flee, because that would only lead to their death faster.
Ding Jun looked at the orange-red area in his field of vision, concentrating his attention and leading the team to run wildly.
But soon, looking at the completely red front in his vision, he felt a little desperate, and the roar of the monster came from behind again!
Under the dual threat of white flowers and monsters, humans are like prey forced into a thorn cage, becoming fat meat on the chopping board.
"Take a gamble!"
Ding Jun gritted his teeth and led the team to rush out to the open space in the middle of the street. As a blue dot appeared in front of him, no one behind him was scratched! They seemed to have rushed out!
But Ding Jun, whose attention was completely focused on the invisible white flower, had no time to breathe a sigh of relief before the terrifying monster behind him came one after another...
“Ah! Help me!!——”
As a scream came from the back of the team, everyone's heart trembled and their steps became unsteady.
It’s over…
Ding Jun looked back, his eyes already filled with despair. Although the monster could sense the presence of the white flower, it was unaware of its danger...
Behind the last person in the team, the strange bird-beast opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and bit off most of the person's body in one bite. Then it suddenly raised its head and swallowed it. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the blood that spurted out!
As blood spilled all around, blood-stained white flowers slowly appeared in the air, looking strangely beautiful.
As the white flowers began to open and close, rhythmically moving like breathing, the blood that had splattered on the flowers and vines began to seep into them at a speed visible to the naked eye...
At this time, the white petals gradually closed and turned into white buds, and the blood that seeped into them turned into streams of crimson light among the light white vines, constantly weaving through the vines that were invisible in the air until they surrounded the crowd and the monsters.
Looking at the crimson dots that surrounded everyone and were suspended in the air, everyone had despair on their faces. With the death of the first person, the others began to feel the fear of death.
The blood absorbed by the white flowers will follow the location of the prey and be transported to the nearest white flowers to provide nutrients, and then begin to bloom!
As the crimson arrived, the dense petals around it began to turn from white to red, and the entire bud turned a deep crimson before suddenly blooming! A large amount of blood mist spurted out, enveloping the people and monsters in the center!
Soon, as the blood mist dissipated, the people and monsters present were all stunned where they were, but now their eyes were all bloodshot.
The next moment, they started to pounce on each other without any warning, and continued to attack the people around them frantically. If their hands were useless, they would use their feet, and if their feet were useless, they would bite with their teeth. They would knock people to the ground and bite open their throats.
The whole scene was extremely bloody, and the splattered blood was slowly absorbed by the white flowers and turned into nutrients.
However, humans are no match for monsters. As the last person on the field was torn to pieces by the strange bird and beast, the blood had completely dyed the street red.
However, the monster did not devour the body on the ground. Instead, it continued to run madly on the street, trying to find prey to tear apart!
But as the monster's body was cut by the dense vine thorns, blood continued to flow out, dyeing its entire body red, as if it had just walked out of a pool of blood.
Finally, he collapsed to the ground powerlessly. Even so, his eyes were bloodshot as he dragged his body, wanting to tear apart everything in front of him. Only after his blood had drained out did he finally die in relief...
…………
In an alley somewhere on the street, a strange creature slowly walked out. It looked like a cat, but had a dog's head. It was nearly two meters long, covered with black hair and had a fluffy tail.
After the monster walked out of the street, it moved like a snake on the road.
This left Xiaobai and Beibei in the dark stunned. Beibei, who was unaware of the situation, said worriedly, "Is there something wrong with its brain? Will it become stupid if it eats it..."
Xiaobai watched the monster's actions, as if it was avoiding the shadow that appeared in her senses, and then she understood.
"It's hiding from the flowers."
"Really?" Beibei suddenly realized, and then asked curiously: "Can it see those white flowers?"
Xiaobai shook his head slowly, thinking that the other party should be like him, able to detect the existence of Baihua through other means.
But it seemed a little afraid of touching the white flowers. Was it because they could hurt it? This was not a threat to Xiaobai.
"Then let's go, it's time to eat!"
Beibei excitedly told Xiaobai that she hadn't eaten for a day.
"Walk……"
Xiaobai nodded, carrying Beibei on his back and moving towards the monster...
