Two off-road vehicles drove towards the center of the city.
Half an hour later, the vegetation became more lush.
After finding a secluded place to park, Lu Nange put the two cars into the space.
As everyone walked inside, the air began to be filled with the smell of damp humus.
The deeper you get into the center, the stronger the musty and suffocating feeling becomes.
It's like the smell of a mountain forest that has been covered by trees all year round and never sees the sun.
The building was almost completely swallowed up by the vines, and sunlight could only barely seep in through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
Lu Nange suddenly raised his hand: "Stop!"
"Nannan, what's wrong?" Everyone instantly entered combat mode.
Lu Nange took out three telescopes and handed them out: "The plants in front... are moving."
The scene ahead came into view—a towering tree stood in the center of the city, with countless branches spreading outward like blood vessels.
Chi Yanzhou: "All the branches and vines we encountered should be branches of this mutant tree?"
Lu Nange nodded: "It looks like bacteria, but also like nerve endings.
It may not be able to take care of those that are far away. In fact, it moves slowly during the day, so the branches and leaves on the periphery become quiet.
But once it enters the canopy, anyone who gets close will probably be strangled..."
He Zhuo gave a thumbs up: "As expected of my little sister, you are so knowledgeable!"
Lu Nange glanced at him and said, "Take the telescope and look up."
The three people holding the telescopes raised them and looked up at the tree trunk.
The thick trunk blocked out the sun, and its countless branches blocked the sky above the center of Jiayu City.
The branches and leaves are entangled on the tree trunk. If you look closely, you can see dried corpses in the gaps...
Lu Nange: "Take another look at the ground."
Looking down, I saw countless dead bones piled up at the roots of the trees.
"Wait for me here, I'll go take a look inside." Just as Lu Nange was about to take a step, he was stopped by everyone.
For the first time, Lu Nange's words were rejected so neatly.
They said in unison: "I'll follow you!"
Lu Nange's temples were throbbing: "...What are you doing with those heroic expressions? I'm just taking a look, not trying to get killed!
Gangzi and I are just like that. If something goes wrong, Gangzi will grab me and leave."
Ji Xian looked at the people who were in a stalemate and moved aside a few steps speechlessly.
Unexpectedly, my feet suddenly felt soft, as if I had stepped on rotten meat.
He stomped his feet subconsciously, but felt something wrapping around him.
A thick vine suddenly wrapped around Ji Xian's waist and abdomen.
His face flushed instantly, and his hands tried in vain to tear at the vines that were getting tighter and tighter.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!"
Several wind blades flew past Ji Xian's ears, and at the same time, several golden flying knives cut the vines.
Ji Xian fell to the ground, gasping for breath, and was held up by Gu Qi and He Zhuo.
"Gangzi!"
The macaw swelled up instantly, spread its wings, and icicles hit the tree trunk like a rainstorm.
"Run!" Everyone took advantage of this opportunity to retreat quickly, and did not stop until the surrounding vines calmed down.
