Chapter 195 Mud Becomes Ice
Li Huiyin looked at the large pool of meat paste in front of her and couldn't help but cover her mouth and find a place to vomit.
Xu Zhiyang was also nauseated by the smell. "Fuck, why does it smell so sour and stinky? So disgusting..."
Ji Chen curled his lips: "It's normal, it should eat rotten corpses and the like, so it smells bad."
The men retreated back into the city wall, and Xu Zhiyang carefully patched up the hole. After he finished, he remembered something and asked, "Brother Ji Chen, how are these bugs' reproductive abilities?"
Ji Chen's eyes darkened. "It stands to reason that mutated animals have good reproductive abilities, but their life cycles are short."
Xu Zhiyang nodded, then his body suddenly tensed up and his expression changed drastically.
Lu Nian was the first to notice something was wrong: "Xiao Yang, what's wrong?"
"There are various...many, many..." Xu Zhiyang frowned.
"There are a lot of things running towards here quickly!"
Ji Chen asked hurriedly: "What position!"
Xu Zhiyang shouted, "Front gate! The energy fluctuations at the front gate are the strongest! Go!"
From a distance, the four heard a huge banging sound coming from the front door. The alarm sounded in the city, and the long and piercing sound made their hearts sink.
The gunshots started quickly and became increasingly frequent until a deafening sound from explosives was heard. Xu Zhiyang's heart skipped a beat and he quickened his pace.
When they arrived at the front door, even those who were used to big scenes were stunned for two seconds.
The largest gap in the base's door was filled with various large mutant animals, which kept roaring and scratching at the sturdy iron door in front of them.
Seeing the humans inside, the animals became more agitated.
Xu Zhiyang was glad that at least there were no birds for the time being, otherwise it would be difficult to guard the place for a while.
Just as he was thinking, the ground suddenly shook violently. Xu Zhiyang staggered and was suddenly picked up by a huge fox and thrown on its back.
"Nian Nian." Xu Zhiyang shouted, "Get down!"
The fox lay on the ground, and used its front paws to pick up Li Huiyin and Ji Chen to protect them. No matter how the ground shook, they were not affected for the time being.
The earthquake lasted for more than a minute, and broken stones on the wall fell down. Fortunately, the larger stones were stuck tightly and did not fall and hit anyone.
The group of mutant animals lurking outside the base gate were also shocked.
Until the earthquake stopped, the moment Xu Zhiyang stood up, a pair of green plant wings appeared on his back and flew straight over the standing wall.
A dazzling light rose in Xu Zhiyang's hand, like a meteor across the sky, and he used the light to observe the situation outside.
Back at the base, Xu Zhiyang spoke very quickly:
"Herds of mutant animals appeared outside the base. The tremor just now caused a row of towering trees to grow from the ground 500 meters away. I predict that more mutant plants will break through the ground soon."
Xu Zhiyang looked at Ji Chen and said, "Brother Ji, I suggest that the entire team enter a level one alert state. If I can't handle the situation outside, I will deploy heavy firepower."
In the current situation, Xu Zhiyang’s intervention is the best option, as the heavy weapons brought by the army cannot be used within the base.
The gap in the base gate is not wide enough for the cannon barrel to pass through. If you are not careful, this huge gate will be destroyed.
Ji Chen agreed: "Qian Yi, Hui Yin, Lu Nian, you go with him."
Xu Zhiyang used golden energy to create a pair of wings for Li Huiyin, then took Lu Nian's hand and spread the wings to fly.
As for Qian Yi, he found a place to dig a hole and escape.
As soon as he got outside, Xu Zhiyang opened the fan in his hand and blew them all away without saying a word.
The raised yellow sand drilled into the eyes of the mutant animals.
Xu Zhiyang: "Niannian, transform back into your largest beast form when you land. Be careful of mutant animals. Call me if anything happens!"
Lu Nian nodded: "Don't worry, leave the door to me... Look!"
Xu Zhiyang looked in the direction of his finger and saw tall and straight trees suddenly emerging from the ground. The earth was shaking violently again, even more violently than before.
Li Huiyin yelled, "Why are the trees here going crazy?"
Xu Zhiyang: "The mutated plants are similar to the tree that threw me away at the beginning. They will attack humans!"
Lu Nian asked in panic, "What should we do? Are they going to grow into the city?"
There was another violent tremor, and a towering tree rose from the ground, only a hundred meters away from the city gate.
"It seems so!" Xu Zhiyang's mind was working rapidly, and he suddenly came up with a feasible solution.
Li Huiyin saw through Tiezi's thoughts at a glance, "If you have a solution, tell me now!"
"You two try your best to resist these mutant animals, and leave the rest to me!"
Xu Zhiyang pinched Lu Nian's arm.
"I'm going to let you down now, are you ready?"
Lu Nian took a deep breath and put on a serious face: "I'm ready!"
Xu Zhiyang was amused by him and suddenly folded his wings. The two of them fell rapidly. Before they landed, there was a "bang" and a huge broad-eared fox appeared!
Xu Zhiyang fell on the fox's back. The two cooperated tacitly. The fox lowered its body and used its tail as a buffer zone to help Xu Zhiyang land safely.
Then Li Huiyin and Lu Nian rushed into the pile of mutant animals.
Pangolin Qian Yi slowly emerged from the soil and was about to go over to help when Xu Zhiyang stretched out his leg to block him.
Meeting Pangolin's puzzled gaze, Xu Zhiyang smiled harmlessly, "Brother, can you help me?"
Qian Yi: “…”
There is a little chill on my back.
_
Qian Yi knew that this kid was looking for him with no good intentions.
Sure enough, nothing good happened.
The pangolin was digging a hole in the soil outside the base, and his teeth were itching with anger.
The method Xu Zhiyang suggested was to drill in circles, surrounding the entire base, circle after circle, the deeper the better, and it would be best to loosen the outer layer of dry sand.
But be careful not to touch the foundation of the base.
Xu Zhiyang flew up and looked around the base. He thought it was good and nodded in appreciation.
There was another vibration in the distance, and Xu Zhiyang flew back to the gate of the base. After landing, he put the fan back on his waistband with his backhand, put his hands together and mobilized all the water energy.
The air was instantly filled with moist water vapor, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.
Ji Chen looked through the gap behind the door and found a huge water ball appearing in front of Xu Zhiyang, which was very, very big.
At that moment he knew what he was going to do.
The soil outside the base was too dry, so the pangolins dug holes to loosen the soil. Xu Zhiyang then used water to moisten the upper layer of dry soil, and then... froze the water into ice.
This is to prevent the invasion of mutant plants.
Xu Zhiyang's slightly long hair was lifted up, his brows were furrowed, and the next moment, he controlled all the water to pour into the ground.
The originally dry ground became visibly moist, as if it had turned into a swamp in an instant, and the sandy and muddy ground sank slightly.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xu Zhiyang converted the water energy into ice, knelt on one knee and touched the ground with both hands, and a crisp sound came from near and far.
A thin layer of ice suddenly formed on the ground. As time went by, the ice became thicker and thicker, and the ground was frozen as hard as iron.
Ji Chen's eyes lit up, but he saw Xu Zhiyang's body suddenly shook, and then he barely stabilized.
He's run out of energy!
The base covers a large area and is dry and water-scarce all year round. At the beginning, Xu Zhiyang had to use enough water to moisten the muddy and sandy land.
Just the first step will consume most of the energy.
Half a minute later, making sure he was almost frozen, Xu Zhiyang stood up, his limbs weak, and quickly ran back to the gate.
At this moment, all the mutant animals were difficultly stopped by Lu Nian and Li Huiyin a hundred meters away, and their energy was about to be exhausted.
Ji Chen immediately gave the order in a stern voice: "Captain Xie, open the base gate immediately, and send the first and second companies out of the city to form a formation for support!"
