Chapter 73: Hallucinogenic Misty Forest
"Who is the Zombie King?"
"Where are we going to kill it?"
Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun had been so nonchalant about accepting the mission, but now faced with the questions of the Invincible Squad, they couldn't answer a single word. Old Man Lu also looked clueless. Did they have to find the Zombie King themselves? How could they find him in this vast sea of people?
"hiss."
Three days had passed since they had been showing off their prowess in the mission hall. The bracelets of Lin Jiashu and the other four emitted electric currents to remind them to complete the mission as soon as possible.
"Why are you two okay?"
Their hands twitched in pain, but Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun acted as if nothing had happened.
Looking closely at their wrists, there was no trace of the bracelets.
"When you have good things, you don't even think of pointing them out to us."
"Exactly. I'm almost numb from the electric shock. I didn't sleep at all last night."
Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei muttered a few words, then smiled and asked Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun for help.
The vine was bent lightly, and the bracelets on the five people's wrists broke and fell to the ground.
The staff in the bracelet monitoring room found something wrong and reported it to Lu Xingshan.
Lu Xingshan waved his hand. He never thought that a few bracelets could stump Chen Xun and others.
"Can't you find Song Yu's experimental data?"
Zhuo Xu shook his head. He had searched the entire laboratory building of Jiangye City General Hospital but didn't see a single piece of waste paper.
"Someone took it."
Lu Xingshan looked at Zhao Nanyu in the surveillance footage and had a rough guess in his mind.
Shortly after leaving the ancient city base, Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun turned back to look at the camera high up in the base.
"Sister Nanyu, Brother Chenxun, what are you two looking at?"
Wang Silei followed their gaze and saw that the ground was bare and empty.
"It's photogenic, come and compare it."
He obediently followed Zhao Nanyu's instructions and made a "yeah" gesture to the air. Seeing this from the other end of the surveillance camera, Lu Xingshan became more serious about the abilities of Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun.
The zombie horde near the ancient city base was almost cleared, and the invincible team drove to the misty forest outside the ancient city base.
The more dangerous the place, the more likely it is that the Zombie King is hiding.
Before the end of the world, the Misty Forest strictly prohibited anyone from entering or leaving. After the end of the world, the fog increased more than three times, and people standing outside could only see a mass of white.
"Are we really going in?"
"This eye won't go blind."
"Why don't we search somewhere else? Maybe the Zombie King isn't here."
Without giving the Invincible Squad any time to talk nonsense, Xiao Teng tied the seven people into a row, and Zhao Nanyu gave each of them a gas mask and a loudspeaker.
"Axun."
Chen Xun took the lead and walked in first. Sun Jingrui watched them disappear one by one in just a second and shouted anxiously.
"Cover your mouth and nose. The fog in this forest is poisonous."
They didn't have military-grade gas masks, so they couldn't protect themselves from the poisonous fog and still had to hold their breath.
The sky was filled with white. If it weren't for the vines tied around their waists, the seven members of the Invincible Squad would have been dispersed long ago.
"Axun, this won't work. We're going in the wrong direction."
Sun Jingqi stepped on empty air, and Sun Jingrui picked her up. They lay on the ground and reached out to feel around, and they found that they had accidentally entered a swamp.
The sound of the horn was several seconds late in reaching Chen Xun. Looking back, he saw that two people were missing: Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei had fallen in.
"Hold on tight and climb up slowly."
"Don't struggle. The harder you struggle, the deeper you sink."
Chen Xun and Chen Zhou each stretched out an arm to pull Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei. The swamp in the misty forest was bottomless and had a strong absorption force. Not only did they not rescue the people, but they almost pulled the two brothers Chen Xun and Chen Zhou down with them.
The branches of the small vine also helped, and it took the combined efforts of five people and one vine to pull the two people up.
"There's something down there."
"Something is pulling at us."
Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei couldn't wait to catch their breath, and quickly pointed at the swamp and told everyone to hurry up.
"ah."
The grass under the seven people's feet changed in an instant, and a big hole appeared. All the members of the Invincible Team fell down without exception.
Chen Xun hugged Zhao Nanyu and protected her tightly with his body. The strong feeling of weightlessness made everyone dizzy.
When they opened their eyes again, the seven of them were trapped deep in the swamp, with their gas masks gone, and their faces exposed outside the swamp.
"Help, is there anyone who can help us?"
"We are here, there are living people waiting to be rescued."
Lin Jiashu and Wang Silei shouted at the top of their lungs, but the only response they got was the bird droppings thrown from the sky by the misty forest.
"Stop shouting. Who else would come into this damn place except us?"
"How strange! How could there be a swamp in this misty forest?"
"What are we going to do now? The swamp has overflowed. It won't be long before our heads are submerged too."
The swamp in the misty forest began to swallow them. Zhao Nanyu felt an external force restraining her feet, and her face sank a little every time she moved.
"Nan Yu, don't move."
Among the seven people, Zhao Nanyu was the most miserable. The others were able to hold up their heads because of their height, but Zhao Nanyu was the shortest and the swamp had buried him up to his waist.
Chen Xun became anxious and dug at her with his hands stuck in the swamp, which only caused her to sink even deeper.
"Woo woo."
Not daring to move anymore, Chen Xun changed his strategy and decided to rescue the buried little vine first.
He reached his hand to his waist, calmed down and untied the knot, then threw it out of the swamp in one go. Chen Xun's body sank rapidly.
"Hmm."
Xiao Teng turned around and grabbed Chen Xun's head, pulling out half of his body.
When Zhao Nanyu saw this, he felt mixed emotions.
Teng, your master is here.
"Brother Chen Xun, please save us."
Chen Xun grabbed the vine and climbed up, subconsciously trying to save Zhao Nanyu for the first time.
A thick fog suddenly rose in the Misty Forest, and the Invincible Squad came to the white snow.
After staring for too long, several people became snow-blind.
When Chen Xun dispersed the fog, the swamp in front of him disappeared, and Zhao Nanyu, Chen Zhou and others also disappeared.
"Nan Yu, Nan Yu."
He stumbled and dug at the original spot with his bare hands, while the little vine also dug hard into the ground.
"Chen Xun, I'm here."
The mist blew into his ears, and Chen Xun heard Zhao Nanyu calling him, and hurriedly moved following Zhao Nanyu's voice.
"Xunxun, come and save me."
"Nan Yu, Nan Yu, I'm here, where are you?"
In the misty forest, Chen Xun couldn't find Zhao Nanyu for a long time and gradually realized something was wrong.
Hallucination, it's an illusion.
"Who? Who's there? Get out."
There was someone behind the tree, and Chen Xun's thunder ability knocked down the tree.
A woman slowly walked out of the fog. Her face was covered by a veil and could not be seen clearly. She was wearing a bright red dress and red high heels, dancing gracefully in the forest.
"Chen Xun, do I dance well?"
"I'll dance for you every day, okay?"
"You must come and see me dance at the school performance tomorrow."
Those past events flashed by one after another. Chen Xun's eyes widened and he murmured, "Xi Ya."
