Countless white roots, like cicada cocoons, appeared beneath the giant pine tree. This was a hunting method the pine tree had learned from other animals. It didn't need to kill humans or animals directly; it only needed to trap them inside the "root cocoons," and those animals would slowly die in despair.
When there is absolutely no sound, the pine tree's roots will pierce into the rotting flesh like some kind of eerie tentacles, and then, like sucking on jelly, swallow all the rotting flesh and remains.
These things are constantly evolving.
At this moment, Shen Huai is also one of these root cocoons.
The pine tree had pierced his chest, leaving a fist-sized hole with flesh turned inside out and bone visible.
Shen Huai's face was deathly pale. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, nor did he know where he was.
All he knew was that he was very likely to die here.
Has Ye Hong already fallen to this state before he was even caught?
Shen Huai's thoughts began to drift, and for a moment he couldn't even feel his own body.
The pain had gone numb, and the blood from the wound had stopped flowing.
Shen Huai used his remaining supernatural ability to control the flow of blood, but this could not save him; it was merely prolonging his life and delaying his death.
The giant pine tree's attack power was simply too great. Shen Huai felt that even if Shen Qi came, he might not be able to save him successfully.
Besides, Shizaki won't be coming.
Because the human base needs him.
Shen Huai slowly closed his eyes. He suddenly remembered when he was an undercover agent. In order to find Ye Hong's true identity, he had paid a lot and even almost forgot that he was once a policeman who served the people.
In fact, one can rarely see any sense of justice in him.
More often than not, they are simply unreliable.
Because he's an undercover agent.
If someone is clearly on the side of justice, how can they be a qualified undercover agent?
Ye Hong killed tens of thousands of people, but now that natural disaster has struck, the demon is still alive and well, and has even established his own organization.
Shen Huai was unwilling to accept this.
He also felt powerless.
Because his strength was too weak, what good would it do even if he caught up with Ye Hong?
It's useless.
He can't win...
He couldn't beat that huge pine tree either.
He might die here today.
Shen Huai slowly closed his eyes, and his breathing became extremely slow.
My heart is beating with difficulty; it's a suffocating beating.
That broken heart may soon stop.
Shen Huai thought to himself that his heart had truly suffered because of him, not only had a part of it been taken away by Ye Hong, but now it was about to lose all its sound.
Shen Huai's brows furrowed deeply. He hadn't even properly met his parents yet, hadn't spoken to his older brother, and hadn't said goodbye to his younger sister, Shen Tang...
Not yet, I want to see Qiao He one more time.
Shen Huai had too many regrets; his mind was filled with all his past experiences.
He has no say in the future of humanity; he's not some all-powerful savior.
The only thing Shen Huai could think about was that if anyone could kill Ye Hong in the future, he would call them "Big Brother" or "Big Sister"!
I'd be willing to be someone's slave in my next life.
Shen Huai gritted his teeth and muttered, "Am I really going to die here? Damn it... that dog Ye Hong isn't dead yet!"
Shen Huai was having difficulty breathing; he felt pain.
The pain in his chest was so intense that he simply couldn't ignore it.
Just as Shen Huai's consciousness was fading, he heard a sound as if something was being ripped apart from his left.
Shen Huai opened his eyes with difficulty and looked over.
In the darkness, a black shadow seemed to appear.
Shen Huai couldn't see clearly until Qiao He's sweet voice came: "Yeah, that guy isn't dead yet, how could you die first?"
"Shen Huai, wake up and have some fun!" Qiao He and Bo Shiwu appeared in Shen Huai's cocoon like saviors.
Shen Huai was dumbfounded; he subconsciously thought he was hallucinating.
"Could I be... really hallucinating? This pine tree is quite nice... giving me a glimmer of hope before I die," Shen Huai muttered to himself.
Unfortunately, it was too quiet here; Qiao He and Bo Shiwu could both hear what Shen Huai was saying.
Qiao He sighed in exasperation. She immediately summoned the paper doll of Qiao Hua and then treated Shen Huai's wounds.
The tiny paper doll Qiao Hua ran to Shen Huai's side with her short legs.
Qiao He was unable to replicate Qiao Hua's regenerative abilities, so he could only treat Qiao Hua's most serious injuries first.
Upon closer inspection, Qiao He noticed that Shen Huai had many wounds, large and small, with hardly any uninjured flesh. His clothes were also tattered, which covered his vital areas.
Qiao He sighed softly, "Don't die, Shen Huai."
"We still rely on your poison to kill the enemy," Qiao He said softly.
Shen Huai chuckled: "I really wasn't hallucinating..."
Bo Shiwu said in a deep voice, "Of course it's not a hallucination. Hold on, your injuries can be healed."
Qiao He nodded, "Yes, did you know? Huahua's superpower awakened regenerative ability, and your heart can be restored."
Hearing this, Shen Huai's eyes lit up slightly: "Really? Hua Hua... that's amazing..."
Qiao He said proudly, "Of course, look whose little kitty it is."
Shen Huai gave Qiao Hua, the paper doll, a thumbs up.
The paper doll Qiao Hua suddenly paused and said to Qiao He, "Shen Huai has lost too much blood and is about to go into shock. He needs a blood transfusion immediately."
Qiao He frowned deeply. "This is bad. There is no fresh blood in the Blood Jade Space."
At the time she was stockpiling goods, she had no way to stockpile human blood.
She, an ordinary person, naturally had no way of accessing the blood bank, and even if she did, it wouldn't be easy to get the blood out.
Later, when natural disasters struck, blood supplies became even more scarce. Coupled with the onslaught of extreme weather events such as floods and extreme heat, much of the blood in the blood banks ran out.
Qiao He had forgotten about this incident, but unexpectedly, she was going to have to donate blood to Shen Huai at this time.
The next moment, Shen Huai indeed fainted. His lips were deathly pale, and his face looked extremely pale, as if he were about to die.
The paper doll Qiao Hua said seriously, "Mom, my current ability can't produce blood. You need to give me the blood as soon as possible so I can transfuse it into Chen Huai."
Bo Shiwu immediately stretched out his arm: "Try losing to me first."
Time is of the essence, and there is no other way.
Qiao He nodded: "Yes, and mine too, let's see if we can match."
The paper doll Qiao Hua hummed in agreement, then a soft light emanated from her palm. She then began drawing blood from Bo Shiwu, attempting to channel it into Shen Huai's veins...
