Chapter 61: Falling into a Trap
Xu Zhiyang immediately concentrated and carefully sensed the energy around him. It was the familiar wood energy, but this energy did not belong to anyone in their team.
What is it?
Why didn't Momo scream?
Even if it was a non-mutated chick, Momo would scream when he heard it.
Xu Zhiyang moved his fingers in the dark, slowly grabbed Zhu Ci's clothes, and quietly stretched out his finger to poke him.
Zhu Ci woke up immediately and was about to hug him, but Xu Zhiyang covered his mouth. In an instant, Zhu Ci understood what he meant.
They slowed their breathing, listening to the faint sounds that were almost inaudible among the sound of the rain.
It was a person's shoes stepping on the grass filled with rainwater.
Until it got closer and closer, and stopped at the door...
Xu Zhiyang had observed this house in advance. It was a two-story bungalow. The stairs leading to the second floor were outside. There was an iron staircase on the left side of the house. It was rusty and looked like it would break at any time.
The house had no door and looked insecure, but Xu Zhiyang created a door using plants to fill the empty space.
The moment the voice stopped at the door, Zhu Ci stood up and slashed out with a knife!
The thing outside the door was obviously hit, and it screamed hoarsely and immediately tried to run away, but Zhu Ci had already gotten out of bed and rushed to the door to catch that "thing!"
Unexpectedly, the thing was extremely fast and moved four or five meters away in just one second.
"Wait for me!" Zhu Ci quickly said, raised his foot and chased after the thing, and the two figures disappeared in the rain.
Everyone was woken up. The first thing Qin Shiyu did was to get out of bed and check on Momo. Afraid that something had happened to him, several people hurried to follow him.
Under the big tree, Momo lay on his front legs with his eyes closed. Even when several people approached, he did not open his eyes as sharp as usual, but lay there motionless.
Qin Shiyu ran over quickly, tears streaming down his face. He frantically groped Momo's body, shouting its name.
Momo closed his eyes tightly and didn't move.
"Momo! Momo!" Qin Shiyu cried.
A child without family, with only a dog to keep him company along the way, if he really lost Momo...
"Xiao Yu! It's okay, look!"
Xu Zhiyang picked up Qin Shiyu and gestured for him to calm down. "Momo's stomach is still heaving, and he's still breathing. He just fainted."
Qin Shiyu wiped the mist off his glasses with trembling hands, held his breath and observed carefully for a while, then he felt relieved.
"It seems...he fainted..."
Mu Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief, frowned, and asked, "But what was that thing just now? Was it a human or an animal?"
Xu Zhiyang shook his head: "I didn't see it clearly, it was too dark."
After saying that, he looked worriedly in the direction where Zhu Ci left.
Suddenly, an even stranger sound came from the dark rain ahead.
Mu Ke was the first to change his expression: "Hurry up! It's a zombie tide!"
The three of them turned pale.
Momo definitely couldn't carry away something that weighed several tons.
Qin Shiyu flew over to Momo and said, "I won't leave Momo. After mom and dad went to the capital, you're the only one who'll accompany me. I won't leave..."
A trace of pity flashed across Mu Ke's eyes, but he finally hardened his heart and picked up Qin Shiyu, no matter how the child struggled.
Li Huiyin was also reluctant to leave, and hesitated, "Who knows, maybe there aren't that many zombies? We can stay here..."
"Impossible!" Mu Ke interrupted her: "There are so many zombies, I can hear, there are thousands of them! We can't hold on!"
Li Huiyin: "But Momo..."
Mu Ke said coldly: "Let's go!"
"Stop arguing!"
On this side, Xu Zhiyang was mobilizing all the wood energy to promote the growth of the trees next to Momo. He poured all the energy into the branches of the trees, urging them to grow faster and longer.
Branches dozens of meters long hung down to the ground, wrapping around Momo as if alive, and lifting it up.
Xu Zhiyang's hands were shaking violently, his face was pale, beads of sweat the size of beans were sliding down his forehead, and a bloody smell rose from his throat.
Qin Shiyu was shocked and forgot to struggle. He wanted to remind Xu Zhiyang that his energy had reached its limit, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Momo is an animal that weighs several tons. It takes a lot of energy to lift it with plants, which is extremely difficult for Xu Zhiyang!
"Xu Xiaoyang! Enough!" Li Huiyin noticed something was wrong and immediately rushed over to stop him.
"Mu Ke! Take them up the tree!"
When Xu Zhiyang spoke, he could no longer hold back and a line of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
The zombie army was already vaguely visible. Xu Zhiyang used up the last bit of energy to exert extraordinary strength and fixed the whole dog Momo between the layers of branches.
Xu Zhiyang finally turned around to look in the direction Zhu Ci left, then closed her eyes and fell down.
.
"Tell me! Where is this place?!"
"I, I, don't, don't, know..."
"How long have you been here?"
“No…I don’t know…”
“Ahem…”
Xu Zhiyang coughed a few times and tried hard to open his eyes, but the bright light above his head made him uncomfortable. In a trance, he thought he was at home.
"Zhiyang." Mu Ke called him and helped the boy up and leaned him against the wall.
It took Xu Zhiyang a long time to open his eyes. He glanced around and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is this..."
Mu Ke pinched his brows and said, "I'm not too sure, I just know that we were captured."
"Where are they..." Xu Zhiyang became anxious, "Huiyin..."
Mu Ke: "They are fine, Momo is fine too. I brought Huiyin and Xiaoyu up the tree, and Momo is safely hidden in the branches."
"That's good..." Xu Zhiyang felt a sharp pain in her throat. "That tree... is very tall and big... They will be fine..."
"Of course." Mu Ke raised the corners of his mouth slightly and praised: "You are amazing."
Xu Zhiyang laughed: "But...how did you get caught..."
Mu Ke's face turned very ugly when he mentioned this: "After sending Huiyin and Xiaoyu up the tree, I was about to take you up with me, but as soon as I landed, I was shot with a tranquilizer gun."
Xu Zhiyang looked up again and found that this place looked like a prison cell, with its back against the wall and the remaining three sides surrounded by solid metal pipes.
What caught Xu Zhiyang's attention was the boy who was hugging his knees in the corner. He was shirtless, had short dark brown hair, and looked at them timidly with clear eyes, full of vigilance.
The boy had scars from electric shock on his arms. When he noticed Xu Zhiyang looking at his arms, he slowly put them into his arms.
As if afraid of scaring him.
Xu Zhiyang wanted to laugh, but suddenly he started coughing violently. He suddenly covered his mouth and turned to the side, coughing for a long time before stopping.
Mu Ke came over and pulled Xu Zhiyang's hand away, and was shocked to see a pool of blood in his palm!
"It's okay..." Xu Zhiyang confessed: "I used too much energy, and it's slowly getting better now."
Mu Ke looked carefully at Xu Zhiyang and saw that her face looked much better than before, so he felt relieved. "I'm glad you're okay. Would you like some water?"
Xu Zhiyang nodded.
Mu Ke was just about to ask the boy behind him if he had any water, but before he could turn around, an unopened bottle of mineral water rolled on the ground and stopped at his feet.
Mu Ke: “…”
"Thank you." Xu Zhiyang spoke in a hoarse voice, met the boy's gaze and smiled at him.
"No, no, you're welcome." The boy shrank back again, wishing he could squeeze into the gap in the corner of the wall.
