Chapter 483: Reconciliation
"Okay!" Tang Bai didn't waste any words. He turned around and discussed with several responsible persons for a few minutes. He made adjustments quickly. In a short while, the group set off neatly.
The slope continued down for dozens of meters, and the surrounding area was pitch black, completely different from what everyone imagined the subway passage to be like before the apocalypse.
Fortunately, it is spacious enough to accommodate two cars running side by side. The speed is not fast and the surrounding situation can be seen clearly under the illumination of the headlights.
At the beginning, everyone remained vigilant. However, after realizing that only some small rats and burrowing animals appeared from time to time, and the number was incredibly small, the whole team gradually relaxed their vigilance.
Several heads of the Pingjin bases also began to discuss the opening of an underground passage.
At the same time, Lu Weiyi was struggling forward wrapped in wet clothes.
Last night's rain increased the humidity in the gloomy jungle. Lu Weiyi, who was wrapped tightly in a blanket, was soaked in sweat, his hair was dripping with water, and his cheeks were flushed.
Thanks to the constant intake of salt and sugar water along the way, he did not feel any discomfort.
With mental tentacles exploring the way in the distance, Lu Weiyi avoided all situations that required fighting along the way. He even withdrew the mental barriers around his body that separated him from various insects, just to maintain the best supernatural state and ensure that he would be able to fight if he encountered that SS-level mutant plant.
He would be hit by falling insects from time to time. Even if he was wrapped tightly, that soft and sagging feeling could still be clearly conveyed. The hairs on Lu Weiyi's body never stopped standing, which kept his mind tense all the time.
When the energy a thousand meters away fluctuated violently, it was instantly captured by his mental power.
Lu Weiyi climbed up a big tree and saw a fight going on around the rocks at the landing point. The distance was too far for him to distinguish the specific types for a while. He was not sure whether it was a fight between mutant animals or involving their teammates.
The towering jungle in the middle just blocked that place. All kinds of supernatural powers were flying within the field of vision, and the invisible energy fluctuations brought down a large number of trees.
Lu Weiyi frowned and thought, then finally returned to land and continued on his journey.
At this time, around the rock, the golden eagle was fighting with a mutant.
To be precise, it should be a fight with that SS-level mutant plant and countless mutant plants commanded by a wood-type mutant.
The golden eagle landed directly at the meeting point and rested for the night in the deep pit he had created, using the aircraft door as a cover.
The surroundings were silent and silent, which was almost impossible in the jungle of the end times. Especially in such an empty place, not even a single mutant bird was attracted. The golden eagle felt uneasy, and when the sky got a little brighter, he immediately decided to leave.
After leaving a message for his teammates, he walked towards the direction where he remembered the most teammates had fallen. However, not long after, he discovered that the circle on the top of the mountain, like a bald spot separating the forest, rain, rock and soil, was a kind of plant winding on the ground.
Compared to the mutated and gigantic plants and animals everywhere around, this plant is unique only in that its leaves are marked on each one. Its leaves are not much bigger than a fingernail, and the flowers hanging on them are light green in color, the size of a finger, and look like azaleas when they bloom.
Clusters of flowers hang down, and different colors appear in different areas. If it weren't for the exactly same branches and leaves, it would be easy to think that this is a different plant.
But there was no sign of any insects on the leaves, and they didn't even have the humane stretching of stems, leaves or flowers of other mutated plants. They looked like the most ordinary things before the end of the world, and anyone could step on them. The golden eagle looked at the leaves that were less than calf height and felt a creepy feeling in his heart.
The mutant plants that attacked the helicopter were moving too fast, and Golden Eagle didn't see what they looked like at the time. He covered his nose and took a deep breath, but didn't detect any scent of flowers or plants, only the fresh feeling of the air after being washed by heavy rain.
He retreated carefully, keeping a distance from the mutated plant. When the other party did not show any signs of trouble, the golden eagle did not actively attack. It changed direction and moved forward again. After a circle, it found that this place was completely surrounded by the plant.
The golden eagle ignited a red smoke around him, hoping to warn his teammates of the danger. He was about to use his supernatural power to attack and leave, but two fire dragons erupted before him. One was hidden in the jungle in the distance, and the other rushed towards the direction of the golden eagle.
Wherever the fire dragon passed, the plants that had been silent at all instantly made way to avoid it, and the movement was so fast that no one was hurt at all.
Without thinking too much, the golden eagle took advantage of the path created by the heat wave and ran towards the direction of the fight.
Looking from a hundred meters away, the mutated plants had lost their peace. The ground was a dark red with a hint of black, and even the stems and leaves of the green flowers were stained with a hint of dark red.
Where the mutated plants were lifted up, white bones were exposed, some of which were human and some were animal. Flesh and blood were mixed with soil, and a stench of decay rushed towards us.
The white roots of the mutated plants that had broken away from the ground were tinged with black, which was caused by the blood that had been soaking deep into their texture for a long time.
Even though the golden eagle boasted that it had performed many disgusting tasks, it still felt like vomiting when it saw the land filled with piles of corpses.
"team leader……"
The golden eagle looked in the direction where the sound came from. Not far away, two other fire-type mutants in the team, Zheng Hong and Meng Huan, were fighting against the mutants.
The two of them stood back to back, using both supernatural powers and cold weapons to fight off the mutated plants that kept approaching them. There was a person lying between the two of them whose life or death was unknown. The tattered Golden Eagle didn't recognize who it was for a moment.
The mutant plants kept taking the opportunity to move towards the person in the middle, but were blocked by the flames of the two people.
Countless finger-wide knives flew out from the golden eagle, and the stems and leaves of mutated plants scattered all over the sky, forming a rotating circle around him, protecting him as he walked to the three people. The metal circle expanded instantly, protecting all four of them.
Only then did he see clearly that the person on the ground was Xia Ming. His body was covered with dense pinhole-like holes, and the blood that seeped out made him look like a blood gourd.
The surrounding land was solidified into a stone-like substance, preventing the mutant plants from emerging from the ground.
"Who the hell did this--" The golden eagle's eyes turned red and he was filled with anger.
He looked as if he would fight to the death with the other person as soon as he found out who it was.
With the addition of the golden eagle, the three of them formed a triangle, which just placed Xia Minghu in the middle and prevented any mutated plants from approaching.
"It's this fucking mutated grass plant." Zheng Hong separated a flame to block the stems and leaves that were approaching Xia Ming again quietly.
After Zheng Hong and Meng Huan landed, they were not far from the gathering place and were at the edge of the forest.
Zheng Hong simply surrounded his entire body with the supernatural flame and ran towards the direction of leaving the forest. He did not encounter any attacks from mutated animals or plants along the way. Many animals even avoided it when they saw a fireball approaching.
Meng Huan, who was not far from him, had been planning to build a temporary safe shelter and leave at daybreak, but after seeing the shining fireball, he immediately reunited with him, and with the two of them sharing their fire abilities, they safely reached the edge of the forest.
At this moment, the two of them noticed that not far away, a sky full of mutated plants were smashing towards the ground. There, a human-shaped stone object was smashing down with thick roots. The stones fell down, revealing the same field uniforms as theirs.
The unlucky Xia Ming landed right in the mutant plant's nest. When he realized that he was no match for the mutant plants, he immediately condensed the soil on the ground around his body, forming a hard state that was not suitable for plant growth and could not penetrate, and ran in the direction of leaving.
The mutated plants couldn't attack with their roots, so they could only twist themselves into knots and smash towards him. The huge impact force kept knocking him down, and the stones on his body were also shattered. He could only stand up again and again and continue to rush forward.
However, his body was stiff as stone and the weight of it seriously affected his speed.
The drastic consumption of his supernatural powers caused his speed in re-condensing the stone screen around his body to become slower and slower, and roots quickly penetrated into his body along the direction of the crack.
Before long, the double consumption of physical strength and supernatural powers caused Xia Ming to slow down his movements, and he was instantly taken advantage of by the mutation. Countless roots, stems and leaves penetrated into his body through the gaps and cracks.
When Meng Huan and Zheng Hong arrived, he had been wrapped by the mutated plants into a cocoon. Blood dripped down the roots, stems and leaves, dyeing the cocoon surrounding him bright red, and a small piece of red condensed on the ground.
The two men didn't recognize who it was, but just thought it was a member of their team, so they took action immediately.
The giant fire dragon circled the cocoon, and after the plants faded away, a dying bloody man was revealed on the ground.
"Hurry...leave..." Xia Ming said weakly as he was helped up by Meng Huan.
At this time, the mutated plants had already targeted the three of them. Zheng Hong carried Xia Ming on his back, and Meng Huan cleared the way. With flames protecting the surroundings, the mutated plants could not get close to them, but they could not cause much damage to them either. The flames continued to burn them, as if they could never be stopped.
They failed to save people and ended up getting themselves into trouble.
Before Xia Ming fell into a coma, he used the last bit of his supernatural power to condense the surrounding soil into a hard texture that was not suitable for plants to penetrate, thus resolving the attack from one direction for them.
Looking at the mutated plants that completely surrounded them, Zheng Hong finally realized that the reason he was able to leave the forest unimpeded before was not because of his strong abilities, but because there were no high-level mutated plants around.
At this time, the A-level fire ability can only ignite a limited number of stems and leaves, and it mostly just serves as a deterrent. The plant's instinctive fear of fire makes it dare not, or unwilling to, get close.
At this time, the two had already confirmed that this was the mutated plant that attacked their plane. Thinking of Lu Weiyi's final reminder, the two looked at each other and knew the consequences in their hearts.
When an A-level psychic faces an SS-level mutant plant, even if they both have highly aggressive psychics, they are only strong within the same level. It is a fantasy to want to cross the gap of two levels and leave smoothly.
