This terrifying scene almost scared the souls out of everyone present.
This is inland, and beneath our feet lies a heavy asphalt road. Even this dense, towering forest has to first push its way through the road before it can emerge from the ground.
Zhang Tuo is 1.8 meters tall. Where did the mud pit that could hold him completely come from?
"Hurry up, pull him up!" Du Ze immediately ordered his wood-type ability users.
The Falcon Team members immediately swung out thick vines, which flew straight towards Zhang Tuo. "Brother Tuo! Quick, reach out and grab him!"
However, the next second, Zhang Tuo's lips curled into a strange smile, and his lifeless eyes rolled slightly upward, revealing large areas of bloodshot whites.
"Holy crap, is he scared out of his wits? Why isn't he moving?"
The plant-based ability user from the Falcon Team was startled. Gritting his teeth, he used the vines to wrap around Zhang Tuo's wrist. "Brother Tuo! Hold on! We'll pull you up!"
Thick vines quickly wrapped around Zhang Tuo's forearm, and the Falcon Team members strained with all their might to pull him out of the mud.
But Zhang Tuoshan was like a hundred-pound lead weight tied to him; the four or five of them couldn't budge him an inch!
"More people, more lively."
Just as everyone was trying to come up with a solution, Zhang Tuo suddenly revealed a sinister smile, tensed his arms, and forcefully pulled on the vine.
Before the Falcon Squad members could react, two of them were pulled to the ground by Zhang Tuo and dragged by the immense inertia of the vines into the bottomless mud pit.
At the critical moment, Du Ze acted decisively, drawing his long sword and forcefully severing the vines pulling the two men, thus rescuing them.
After all that fuss, the paint-like liquid in the mud had reached up to Zhang Tuo's chin.
As the corners of his mouth turned up, a bluish-black liquid clung to his teeth, his horrifying expression sending chills down one's spine.
What's even more unsettling is that the bubbling liquid beneath him is gradually expanding as it engulfs Zhang Tuo's body!
They just saw that the diameter was only half a meter, but now it's clearly much larger!
The mud pool seemed to be alive, expanding as it was swallowed up.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Captain Du, what do we do...?" The remaining members of the Falcon Squad looked at Du Ze with tense expressions.
Du Ze's face turned ashen, and he remained silent.
In the end times, saving lives comes at a price. When the price paid outweighs the value of the person being saved, the deal is not worthwhile.
This time, Liu Peng was unusually nervous, constantly urging Lu Sheng, "You guys, go and get them out! Don't you have earth-type ability users? Why aren't you doing anything in this situation? Are you saving your abilities for the New Year?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng and the others' expressions immediately darkened.
She only tolerated Liu Peng's antics until now because she wanted to obtain supplies from the Qingshan base and information about the zombie virus vaccine.
But that doesn't mean Liu Peng can continue to act recklessly in front of her.
They've targeted them time and time again, deliberately pushing the most dangerous things onto them. Do they really think they're easy to bully?
"Am I being too polite to you?" Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes coldly fixed on Liu Peng.
Before Liu Peng could speak, Sun Lu chimed in, annoyed, "Commissioner Liu, are you out of your mind? Whoever led the team is responsible for handling the situation. Are you expecting them to clean up the mess when something happens to the Falcon Squad?"
"You'd squeeze a toad until it pees, wouldn't you?"
Sun Lu rolled her eyes at Du Ze, then turned around and shoved Liu Peng, saying, "Don't bully those young girls just because they're young. Leave some room for maneuver so you can meet again in the future."
She was a kind-hearted person before the apocalypse, and after the apocalypse, she immediately awakened a powerful talent. Therefore, she usually does things as she pleases and speaks her mind directly if she doesn't like something.
Moreover, Sun Lu is also a young girl, and she knows how difficult it is for women to survive in the apocalypse, so all the members of the team are women, so that they can take care of each other.
Liu Peng was speechless, his face turning red, but he didn't dare to really argue with her. In the end, he simply gave up and sat down on the ground, saying, "Then what do you suggest we do! If you're so enthusiastic, then you go! Bring her back!"
"I'll go then. At least I won't just stand by and watch my subordinate die without doing anything."
Sun Lu glanced disdainfully at the silent Du Ze, then gestured with her eyes to the bespectacled girl behind her, "Swing a vine to the tree opposite, then tie a rope around my waist. If anything goes wrong, pull me back immediately."
