Chapter 221 Dean is controlled
"The zombies behind are chasing us relentlessly, there are so many of them." Ning Yuan, who had been following behind, panicked when he saw the dark mass. The gap was not just a few times, but dozens of times. There was no suspense at all.
"Master, something is wrong ahead." Lin Yimu, who was driving, looked at the road ahead covered with pink flowers. The flower buds as big as footballs were half-opened. He didn't know whether he should drive in.
"Mutated plants?" Gu Qingji had seen the situation around the mutated ivy. It was wild everywhere, but there was green grass around it.
Even though the temperature is rising now, it is still difficult for plants to adapt to the temperature difference between day and night, and very few of them recover, let alone bloom.
Lu Weiyi also saw the scene.
If it were usual, he would definitely ask them to take a detour, but this time the zombies chasing them from behind didn't give them any choice. He gritted his teeth and said, "Drive in."
While Lu Weiyi urged Lin Yimu to speed up, he used his mental power to shield the entire car and said to several wood-type ability users, "Feel where the roots of the mutant plants are."
"Okay," Gu Qingji responded, as he had experience before. He then told the other two people the method and divided the areas.
As the group stepped into the sea of flowers, the zombies following them surged in, followed closely by the truck, with no sign of slowing down.
Lu Weiyi was now even more certain that these zombies were being controlled. The other party was at least higher level than him. Otherwise, when he put up the mental barrier, the zombies would definitely lose his trace and walk around aimlessly, without any sense and still chasing them.
"Lu, isn't this different from a mutated plant? Why isn't it moving?" Antonio had witnessed the scene when the mutated ivy attacked people. Seeing that they kept walking forward and there was still no movement around, he began to wonder if they had made a mistake.
Especially since the zombies behind them were chasing them closely, they could only move forward at full speed.
Lu Weiyi shook his head, his eyes fixed on the zombies behind him, "Be careful behind, Liu Rui, be alert, if anything goes wrong, immediately form a circle of fire dragons around the car."
"Yeah," Liu Rui responded, his eyes fixed on the mutated plants around him.
"It moved...it moved...I...fuck..." Xu Sa said excitedly, and then became terrified. He pointed in a direction not far behind him with an incredible look on his face.
They saw zombies following them, from far to near, and all the blooming flowers opened instantly and attacked the zombies around them. The leaves under the flowers were like hands, hugging the zombies tightly. The zombies struggled and fell to the ground. The blooming flowers opened wide to swallow the zombies' heads, and when they opened again, only a bunch of debris was left.
"Liu Rui, burn all the flowers around the zombies"
Lu Weiyi took out two guns that Lu Xi had experimented with from the space. Although they could not withstand the fire crystal cores, they could still be used once. He took out a few fire crystal cores and threw one to Li Zhuang and Antonio respectively.
"Stop the mutated plants from continuing to absorb the crystal core." After absorbing the crystal core, the mutated plants will only continue to grow stronger, and by then I'm afraid they will be destroyed here.
The mental zombies among the zombies should have also noticed the situation. After all, their IQ was limited. At first they were still controlling the zombies to hide, but later they gradually lost control. The zombies no longer chased them, but stopped and looked around blankly.
After two "bang bang" shots, Lu Weiyi threw the gun into the space at the first time. The three fireballs each covered a large area, and the gaps were filled by Liu Rui's fire dragon. The zombies and plants were instantly engulfed in fire.
An ugly zombie hiding among the zombies quickly dodged the flames and stood in a bush that was not affected by the flames, but was not attacked by the surrounding flowers.
"That's the one." While Lu Weiyi was speaking, the zombie ran towards them, and at the same time a powerful mental force came towards them, "Everyone be careful."
As soon as Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he removed the mental barrier and used his mental power to meet the opponent. The small green branch in his hand also attacked the zombies immediately. The invisible mental power collided and tore in the air. This was an invisible struggle, but the fluctuating energy could be felt.
Li Zhuang and Antonio quickly provided support. They built a dirt wall and trapped the zombies in a small area. Several flying knives attacked the zombies. Seeing that the zombies had no way to retreat, there was a gunshot and a row of flying knives fell to the ground.
"..." Antonio turned around, his eyes full of disbelief. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. He fell straight down into the carriage.
"Dean, what are you doing?" Gu Qingji controlled the transformed ivy to tie up Antonio's falling body and shouted at Dean in confusion.
On the roof of the carriage, Dean was holding a gun in his hand. After shooting at Antonio, he shot at Li Zhuang again. The others were also confused by this sudden situation and did not bother to stop him.
"Bang" another shot was heard, and everyone was shocked. It was Li Zhuang who used his supernatural powers to block the bullet.
"Control him." The psychic zombie had already broken free from Li Zhuang's blockade because of Antonio's temporary failure. Lu Weiyi was surprised that the mental power of the psychic zombie, who was obviously higher in level than him, could be comparable to his. He thought for a long time that this was just a feint to the east and attack in the west.
Bai Miao sprouted a vine that tied up Dean, confiscated his gun, threw him into the carriage, and shouted to the people inside, "Trap him."
"Qingyue, go save people first." Antonio was still awake, obviously seriously injured, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. Gu Qingji sent him back to the carriage and let Gu Qingyue get off.
Dean's interruption caught the group off guard. The spiritual zombies had escaped and without Lu Weiyi's spiritual barrier, the mutated plants around them began to attack. Those zombies that were not burned to death were surrounded by enemies on all sides and were stretched to the limit, especially since they had lost a major pillar.
It was impossible for Lu Weiyi to defeat the mental zombies by himself. The mental blades he shot several times were dodged by the zombies. Lu Weiyi quickly took out the last crystal core gun from the space and shouted, "Li Zhuang, trap him."
The three-sided earth wall trapped the spiritual zombie in one place again. There was even an extra horizontal bar on the empty side, which completely trapped him to death. At this moment, Lu Weiyi gathered his mental power and attacked quickly to prevent him from using the mental barrier to dodge. At the same time, he shot the spiritual zombie accurately, and the zombie was wrapped in fire.
In the dying struggle, a huge net woven by mental power spread indiscriminately around.
A sharp pain rushed straight to his brain. Xu Sa, who was closest to him, had only half of his ability to attack other zombies. He fell to the ground with his head in his hands and was directly tied up by the mutant grass on the ground. Liu Rui wanted to help him, but he couldn't use his own ability.
The others were not necessarily any better. The adults could still tolerate it, but the children did not understand and suddenly burst into sharp cries.
Lu Weiyi controlled the mental blade and smashed it into the fire. As the mental zombies were sliced into pieces, the dissipated mental power quietly disappeared.
A bunch of teammates were already lying on the ground, all covering their heads in pain.
Lu Weiyi thought about how he looked when he blew himself up in his previous life, and wondered if the people around him exploded with him.
He didn't have time to think too much, because there was a mutant plant next to him, staring at him hungrily and already starting to attack.
Xu Sa just relaxed from being dragged, and before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, a blossoming flower bud came towards his head. Upon closer inspection, there was no pistil inside the bud, but a thing like a mouth, opening and closing as it swallowed his head, "Fuck fuck fuck..."
Before Lu Weiyi could provide timely support, crackling lightning struck indiscriminately, causing his teammates who had just recovered to fall to the ground again.
The conductive mutant plants were even more miserable and silent.
Li Zhuang stood up with the help of the carriage. His hair, which had not grown much, was a little curled and smoking. He bent over and retched for a long time, then spat out a "grass".
As soon as Liu Rui recovered, he staggered towards Xu Sa; Ning Yuan and Wu Yue helped him stand up and dealt with the zombie lying on the ground.
Bai Miao Li Dongsheng saw Lu Weiyi's inquiring gaze and gestured OK from a distance.
All were injured, none seriously.
Lu Weiyi took out the crystal core of the spiritual zombie and prepared to check on Zhuang Aiyi's condition when he heard Dean's panicked cry coming from the carriage.
With a jolt in his heart, Lu Weiyi quickly ran towards the carriage and threw a bag of crystal cores to the people outside the car, "Liu Rui, Xu Sa, Li Zhuang, Wu Yue, Ning Yuan, be alert to the mutated plants."
Xu Sa, who followed him to go in and take a look, was surprised, "Isn't he dead?"
"No." They were only in an area where mutant plants were distributed. They might not even have entered the main root area. How could they be killed by just a little lightning?
Gu Qingji, who saw him coming at the door of the carriage, quickly made way for him.
On the bed at the door, Antonio's blood had dyed the mattress bright red. His face was pale and the conditions were limited. Gu Qingyue at the side sutured the wound directly and sprinkled hemostatic drugs on him recklessly. Seeing Lu Weiyi coming in, he hurriedly asked him for several types of hemostatic agents for injection.
Lu Weiyi looked at him inquiringly.
Gu Qingyue shook his head.
The bullet entered the body from the side, causing a penetrating wound that just hit the spleen, causing continuous bleeding.
Nowadays, medical equipment is limited and further testing cannot be performed. Now diagnosis is purely based on experience.
Dean knelt on the ground, buried his head in Antonio's palms, tears streaming down his face. Antonio stroked his face, looked at Lu Weiyi, and said weakly, "Please."
"No." Dean heard his voice, screamed and looked up, turned to Lu Weiyi, knelt a few steps, and pulled Lu Weiyi's arm, "Help me, help me."
The fair-skinned boy had red and swollen eyes from crying, tears continuously flowing down his face. He looked up at Lu Weiyi, desperate as if he was holding on to the last straw.
Lu Weiyi opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
He looked at Antonio lying on the bed. The big guy looked very weak, his lips gradually losing color, and he whispered, "Baby."
"Lu, Lu--" Dean shook Lu Weiyi's arm and begged.
No one spoke in the carriage for a while. At some point, even Zhuang Aiyi's crying disappeared, and only a few faint sobs could be heard.
