Chapter 127 Is She Crazy?
"what happened?"
The other people in the room also began to feel uneasy because of the noise.
At this moment, people outside were running out from the surrounding houses one after another, almost all rushing in one direction.
After a while.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
There was a sudden and hurried knock at the door.
Jiang Rong looked out through the peephole and then opened the door.
"All of you follow me." The speaker was Qi Tianchen, the one who had cheated Jiang Rong a few days ago and came to apologize.
"what happened?"
"Beast Tide."
There was no need for Jiang Rong and the others to give orders at this moment. When the others heard the word "beast tide", their faces turned pale and they all stepped forward.
"I'll take you to the air-raid shelter at the base. Let's go!"
After Qi Tianchen finished speaking, he turned and ran towards the center of the base.
They even stopped for a moment to bring out Qi Lingyun, Zhou Qinhe and their daughter who were looking out from inside the house.
Jiang Rong, Ling Lan and several other people with special abilities protected these people in front and behind to prevent anyone from being left behind in the chaos.
Then, before they could successfully hide in the air-raid shelter, the mutant beasts in the sky had already broken through the outer defense line of the base and rushed into the inner area.
The sky was filled with mutant birds, thousands and thousands of them, swooping down in unison, able to kill a person with one stab of their beaks.
"No, we can't make it." Seeing the mutant bird flock approaching in a straight line, Jiang Rong could only hurriedly take everyone to hide in the nearest house.
The door was demolished directly and violently.
But despite this, some people in their team of both young and old were injured, and there was even a child of seven or eight years old who was directly abducted by a mutated bird in the sky.
When Jiang Rong and the others discovered it, there was only a scream in the sky, and then a dense swarm of mutant birds surrounded that place. A moment later, a white skeleton with blood clots fell from the sky.
The child's grandparents fainted upon seeing this.
At this moment, Zhou Qin and the others had no time to hide in the air-raid shelter, so they could only follow Jiang Rong and the others to hide in a house on the roadside.
"Basement, go to the basement."
Each villa has its own basement, but the space is not large and is used for storage. It can be used for hiding temporarily at this moment.
But if the mutated birds outside rushed in, this line of defense would not last long.
Jiang Manman, Xiao Chu and others were responsible for sending those who were unable to fight away.
Jiang Rong and the others stayed there, trying to figure out how to hold on a little longer.
I don’t know how long this beast tide will last.
In her previous life, Jiang Rong had only heard of the beast tide, but she went all the way north and did not stay in each base for too long, so she was fortunate not to have experienced it, otherwise the first people to offer sacrifices might have been those on the periphery.
"Lingyu, how long will it take for the jade talisman to merge?" Jiang Rong asked silently in his heart.
If the space upgrade is successful, it will definitely expand. Then she can temporarily put the mutant beasts around her into the space from time to time, just like last time. Then the pressure and threats they face will be much smaller.
"At least one day." Lingyu said helplessly, the space might not be able to help the master this time.
Jiang Rong nodded and was not discouraged. If the space method didn't work, then she would think of other ways.
At this time, everyone else in the house was also doing their best. Ice arrows, metal darts, fireballs, wind arrows, etc. were all attacking the mutant birds that were attacking the windows with all their might.
Fortunately, everyone's supernatural powers are much stronger now than in the apocalypse. Even if they don't go out, they can control the elemental energy across the wall. However, the disadvantage is that the distance is limited. At most, they can only attack mutant beasts within a five-meter radius of the house.
But it's enough for now.
Jiang Rong, Jiang Hua, Linglan, Qi Tianchen and Chen Haohua are now responsible for six directions respectively.
The two children with wood-type abilities were also not idle. They were now actively promoting the creation of mutant plants underground.
If the original mutated plants had not been cleared out uniformly, it would be quite difficult for the mutated birds in the sky to break through the mutated plant groups that were several meters or even dozens of meters tall.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rong, who was constantly releasing polluting energy, tried to communicate with the white light in his body.
Although the pollution energy can help get rid of some of the mutated birds, there are simply too many mutated birds in the sky, so many that the sky is dark, and they are everywhere near and far.
Even if she drained all her energy to control the polluting energies, she still couldn't kill them all.
If this beast tide lasts for a long time, then the largest human base in Xianfu City will probably be completely overturned.
But the current situation does not allow them to think too much. All they can do is to kill to the best of their ability while they still have the ability.
Half a day later.
The sky was still dark, and the birds outside seemed to be endless. There were still so many that it made people's scalps numb. At this time, the people in the room had already been exhausted and had been relying on the mutant beast brain pills given by Jiang Rong to barely hold on.
Jiang Rong never stopped contacting the white light in her body, but this thing just ignored her. Jiang Rong felt helpless.
Another question is, why did such a large-scale beast tide appear out of nowhere?
According to what Jiang Rong had heard in his previous life, it seemed that the people in this base had captured something extraordinary.
The birds that have been wreaking havoc outside are almost all of the same species: crows.
Jiang Rong reasonably suspected that some people in this base had either captured the other party's crown prince or directly killed the other party's king.
Apart from these two, there is hardly any other reason that could cause such a large group of mutant beasts to move out in droves.
"Qi Tianchen, has your base captured anything recently?!!!" Jiang Rong asked gritting his teeth.
Qi Tianchen was pale at the moment, and was struggling to hold on. When he heard Jiang Rong's question, his brain worked slowly, and then he seemed to have thought of something and looked shocked.
It seemed that this morning, several powerful psychics brought a group of live mutant birds into the base, and soon after, people from the research institute came and took those things away.
Qi Tianchen thought carefully about the appearance of those mutated birds. He wondered if it was because they were still young, but they looked quite cute. They were not at all like those huge mutated red-eyed crows outside.
Jiang Rong looked at the man and knew that he had guessed about 70% right.
Mutated birds are the most vengeful, and they hold grudges much more than ordinary mutated land beasts.
And the person they captured is most likely someone else's crown prince.
Jiang Rong cursed in his heart at this moment, those people are looking for death, so let them die by themselves, okay? ! ! !
"Where are those things now?!"
Why don't you release it now and save it for the New Year? !
"Research Institute."
"Is it far from here?"
Jiang Rong guessed that even if those crazy people in the research institute knew the reason for the beast tide, they would probably not be willing to release those little mutant birds for the sake of their ridiculous research.
Jiang Rong didn't have a good impression when he heard the name of the research institute.
In the previous life, those research institutes that claimed to be bright and just openly used human bodies for experiments.
Especially those ordinary people who have no power to resist.
At that time, the ordinary human corpses pulled out of the research institute every day... were all body parts, piled up into a small mountain, and no one knew whose head was whose or whose feet were whose. They were just like a pile of rags, pushed out of the back door of the research institute, bleeding all the way, and sent to the crematorium.
Jiang Rong had the good fortune to witness that scene once, and it caused her to have nightmares for several days...
"It's a bit far." Qi Tianchen replied with a bad look on his face.
If it was really as he thought, then he was also partly responsible for this beast tide. However, he really did not expect that such a few small mutant beasts would trigger such a large beast tide.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rong took out a large number of mutant beast brain pills from his backpack and gave them to the other people in the room.
This is not a solution, someone has to solve the root cause of this beast tide, otherwise they will all die in their hearts.
Of course, Jiang Rong could just hide in the space and not die.
But her friends and family were still out there, and she couldn't just watch them die in front of her.
At least she had to try her best until the Lingyu was completely integrated.
Linglan, who had been following Jiang Rong all the way, took the mutant beast brain pill she handed over with a complicated expression.
She knew very well that Jiang Rong did not have these things in his bag.
Everyone present understood the seriousness of the matter, and also understood the meaning of Jiang Rong's question. No matter what the reason, no one stopped him.
Except Jiang Hua.
"I'm going with this little brother. You stay here and don't go anywhere."
Xiao Rong is the life of his old mother. If something happens to him if he goes out now, how will he face his old mother in the future?
Moreover, as an elder, she also possesses special abilities and her attack power is stronger than Xiaorong's. It is definitely not her turn as a junior.
In short, it just doesn't work.
In Jiang Hua's mind, this trip out was a life-and-death situation. Everyone would either live together or die together. If someone really needed to go out, then he, the oldest one, would go.
"Uncle San, you don't care about Manman anymore? What will happen to Manman if something happens to you? Who can you trust Manman to? No one can protect her better than you staying alive and well."
What Jiang Rong meant was that no one would protect Jiang Manman with all his strength like he, an old father, not even she could do it. The most reliable person was only himself, so he had to be well.
Besides, just as Jiang Hua thought, if something happened to her Third Uncle, how would she ever be able to go back to see her grandmother in the future.
Jiang Hua choked up, thinking of his daughter in the basement. If she didn't have any special abilities, she would be without his protection in the future...
Jiang Hua hesitated for a moment.
Jiang Rong has already gained the upper hand.
"Qi Tianchen, draw a rough route. I'll go alone."
No matter who Jiang Rong takes with her now, they will all be a burden to her. It is better for her to go out alone. If she can't bear it anymore, she can hide in the space and use all kinds of weapons in the space.
After hearing this, the people present looked at Jiang Rong as if he was crazy.
There were so many mutated birds outside that the road was almost invisible, and the sky was filled with black feathers as if it was snowing.
Just like that, she still wants to go out alone?
A person with auxiliary abilities going out alone, she must be crazy.
Among these people, only Linglan looked normal. If her guess was correct, then Jiang Rong was indeed the only one among them who could try to get out.
Qi Tianchen had already prepared himself to die, but he was suddenly told that he didn't need to go out and just had to draw a stick figure map.
For a moment, all he could think of was shock.
She is crazy.
"I'm not crazy. Hurry up. If it's any later, no one will have to go out. We'll all die here." Jiang Rong urged Qi Tianchen in a bad mood, who was looking at her in disbelief.
