Chapter 85 Action Begins! Extremely Hot
The 336th day of doomsday.
Qiao Qiao drew a card with double effect from the blind box.
At six o'clock in the morning, everyone was already waiting outside the Special Administration Bureau.
In Zhou Zhenguo's absence, Wang Fuyun took over the management.
Du Yong was a little irritated and kept pacing back and forth.
Qiao Qiao was a little confused. Tang Mingli said that he used to be the captain of the criminal police team and had a strong sense of justice, but after getting to know him, she found that this was not the case at all.
He looked like a coward who was afraid of death and didn't want to take responsibility, completely different from the person Tang Mingli described.
"Captain Wang, you can set off now."
Soon, a military pickup truck stopped in front of the door, and two soldiers in combat uniforms got out. One of them was actually the pilot who picked up Qiao Qiao and the others? !
"Captain Qian, thank you for your hard work." Wang Fuyun shook hands.
"I will support you in the air." Qian Congnan simply said hello and turned to walk into the Special Management Bureau.
"Who is this?" Ji Ling asked.
Shangguan Jiang explained: "He is the captain of the third squadron of the Capital Region Air Force, Qian Congnan, who will be flying a fighter jet in the air to provide support for this mission."
Then, ten people got on the back seat of the pickup truck one after another, and Qiao Qiao sat in the corner holding the calico cat.
Along the way, everyone was very nervous and no one was in the mood to talk.
One hour later.
"arrive."
The pickup truck stopped at the gate of the National Botanical Gardens.
"We can only take you here. Please take care, everyone." A soldier got off the passenger seat.
Wang Fuyun nodded, "Thank you very much, just leave it to us from now on."
Led by Wang Fuyun, Qiao Qiao and others walked into the botanical garden.
The surroundings were barren and many precious trees had been cut down, probably for warmth during the extreme cold.
The ancient cypress is particularly conspicuous in this environment. Its trunk is more than 30 meters high and towers into the clouds. Its extremely green leaves are flying in the air. If you look at them for a long time, your eyes will feel as if they are being pricked by needles.
"Don't look at the branches of the ancient cypress for too long, or your eyes will get hurt," Wang Fuyun reminded.
The others quickly looked away.
"arrive."
Everyone stopped and saw all kinds of mutated plants within 500 meters ahead, which surrounded the ancient cypress in the middle.
[Mission: Eliminate the mature mutant plant - Ancient Cypress]
[Difficulty: A]
[Task success: SR-level card draw coupons * 5, R-level card draw coupons * 10, SR-level card draw coupon fragments * 10, wind speed fruit * 6 (distributed according to contribution)]
Unfortunately, the mutated plants around are just derivatives of the ancient cypress, so it cannot be considered a mission and there is no reward.
"action!"
Following the order, the ten men were divided into three teams and advanced.
Shangguan Jiang appeared above the ancient cypress. He took out a pack of explosives, lit it and threw it over.
The mutated plants around them woke up after sensing the strange breath, and vines, needles, poisonous mist, etc. all came over.
The next second, Shangguan Jiang appeared at the end of the team, and all the attacks of the mutant plants failed.
"boom!"
The explosive pack was so powerful that thick smoke rose near Cooper.
Guan Rui explained: "After testing, we found that ordinary ammunition has little effect on mutant creatures above the growth stage. Only system-produced ones can cause damage to them."
When the smoke cleared, the ancient cypress tree was completely unharmed, not even a leaf had fallen.
Three of the outermost juvenile mutant plants were injured and one was killed.
Qiao Qiao looked at the traces of the explosive packs and said, "This is quite powerful. If there is only one, it won't be a big deal. If there are a hundred or eighty of them, I'm afraid even mature mutants can be dealt with directly."
Everyone has their own little plans in mind, and their actions have not slowed down at all.
Shangguan Jiang, Wang Fuyun and Xia Momo divided their forces into three groups according to the original plan, forming a triangular formation to attract the attention of the ancient cypress and other mutant plants.
Wang Fuyun put on a crown inlaid with a circle of pigeon egg-sized diamonds of various colors.
After sensing this, the four juvenile mutant plants nearby went crazy and attacked their surroundings mercilessly.
Shangguan Jiang continued to attack in the same way, but unfortunately he only killed one child before running out of ammunition.
The Saker Falcon is huge in size and keeps circling in the air. Most mutated plants cannot leave the land and can only swing their vines to fight against it, but unfortunately they are fooled by it.
Snow Leopard and Xia Momo worked in perfect harmony and attracted the attention of the other one-third of the mutant plants.
Next, it was Qiao Qiao and Diwu Boshan’s chance to take action.
Qiao Qiao patted the calico cat and the dark green vines that had been guarding her and were ready to move. "Go, and be safe."
Everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and then a cute calico cat rushed forward, swinging its three tails, and activated its skill, the Cat's Shadowless Kick, which directly uprooted the roots of the juvenile mutant plants.
Compared to Xiao Qiao, Qiao Man is much more elegant, but also more terrifying.
It had already activated its passive skill, Iron Bones, when it saw the ancient cypress. The attacks from the young mutant plants were like tickles to its body and were simply ignored.
The meter-long vines gently wrap around the opponent, activating the skill of life absorption, draining one life in a few minutes.
Qiao Qiao took the opportunity to use □□ to attack continuously from behind.
On the other side, Diwu Boshan did not approach, but stood where the mutant plants could not attack.
A golden poisonous insect appeared at his fingertips, and then, accompanied by a crackling sound, the botanical garden was surrounded by all kinds of insects.
Qiao Qiao shivered and quickly sprayed insect repellent on himself.
"This is..." Tang Mingli glanced at Diwu Boshan who had an expressionless face. He had no idea that he had done anything terrible.
"Go ahead."
Following his order, all the insects ignored all pressure and rushed towards the mutated plants like moths to a flame.
There is no plant that does not hate insects. A large number of ants can kill an elephant. Although the insects summoned by Diwu Boshan were mostly ordinary insects, there were too many of them and the plants could not escape. Facing the siege, they had no power to fight back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the third group of people, led by Guan Rui, successfully broke through and entered the vicinity of Gubei.
Gu Bo had sensed the human presence a long time ago, but was too lazy to pay attention to it. But now he is completely enraged.
It just shook the tree trunk gently, and the surrounding area began to surge like an earthquake, with cracks appearing on the ground.
"Everyone be careful!" Wang Fuyun shouted.
Xiao Qiao came back, grabbed Qiao Qiao by the collar, threw him on his back and dodged nimbly.
Qiao Qiao took the opportunity to put away the gun that had run out of bullets and took out the SR-level card magic wand.
She first cast a levitation spell on herself, "Levitatio."
【Successful use】
[Remaining time: 1 minute]
Energy: 9/10
After practicing many times in private, she has figured out how to use the wand.
With her current strength, she can use magic about ten times a day, each time lasting one minute, and can restore 1 point of energy every two hours.
Next, use the fireball technique that restrains plants, "Ignis Globus."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fireball the size of a basketball slowly appeared at the top of the wand and hit Gu Bo.
After all, it is an SR-level card of the same level as a mature mutant creature, and its power is extraordinary.
The fireball immediately caught fire as it touched the emerald green leaves of the ancient cypress.
Diwu Boshan, Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man tied up the only three remaining mutant plants in the growth stage, and the third group took the opportunity to take action.
Tang Mingli used the new SR-level card he obtained after completing the Worm Mother mission - Draw a Prison on the Ground.
[Draw a prison on the ground: Randomly lock a skill or an SR-level card of a mature or lower mutant creature, time limit is 3 minutes, can only be used once a day. 】
[Mission Target: Mature Mutated Plant - Ancient Cypress]
[Locked Skill: Earth Veins Surge]
【Successful use】
Tang Mingli chopped up with his long sword, "Gu Bo only has one skill left in three minutes, everyone hurry up!"
Ji Ling ate a bunch of food with special effects, kept circling around, and took the opportunity to stab the ancient cypress with a poisoned dagger.
Su Qian took out a large bucket of water from the system backpack. Her card [Water Control] could not produce water, but could only control water. It was okay during heavy rain and extreme cold weather, but when extreme heat came and water resources were scarce, she had to carry it with her every time she went on a mission.
The water flows in the air and turns into sharp swords.
Su Qian reminded loudly, "Tang Mingli!"
The five people in the third group had already made a plan.
Tang Mingli used the card - money power at the moment the water sword touched the ancient cypress.
"Don't move!"
During the hottest periods, water is the most precious thing for any plant. The more precious the item is, the better the effect of the currency power will be.
[Countdown: 3 minutes]
Du Yong took the opportunity to use the card to seal the coffin.
The sealed coffin floated above Gu Bo, and the palm-sized coffin quickly expanded until it covered Gu Bo's entire body.
A black smoke drifted out from it, covering the ancient cypress from leaves to trunks.
"I have sealed half of Gu Bo's power. Everyone, act quickly!"
Guan Rui's forest ice and fire man gave him a physique that could ignore extreme heat and cold. He rushed in directly into the flames to fight with them.
Seeing this, Qiao Qiao hurriedly continued to cast magic.
"Terra Spina."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge earth spike rose from the ground and pierced the roots of the ancient cypress.
"Ignis Globus!" ×5
Five fireballs hit Gu Bo. Qiao Qiao took the opportunity to use the effect doubling card he drew in the morning. One of the fireballs was half a meter in size.
"boom!"
Even the ancient cypresses were badly hit, and their thick trunks were shaking.
At this time, Gu Bo paid the price for his underestimation of the enemy. He realized that his strength was gradually weakening in the black fog, and the flames on his body were not like ordinary fire, which could actually have an effect on him.
The ancient cypress was shaking wildly in the air, its originally green branches were burned black and curled by the flames. It was unwilling to fail like this, so it activated its only remaining skill.
[Soul Control: Any creature that smells the scent of Gu Bo will fall into hallucinations. If they cannot wake up after more than 3 minutes, they will become Gu Bo's puppet forever.]
A rich woody scent wafted from the ancient cypress trees, and Ji Ling and Guan Rui, who were closest to the trees, had already been scented.
"Not good, Gu Bo actually has another trick up his sleeve!" Wang Fuyun's face changed, "Everyone evacuate immediately."
Unfortunately, it was too late. Tang Mingli and Su Qian were also in a stiff state. Among the people in the third group, only Du Yong hid far away after placing the seal on the coffin, and thus escaped.
Diwu Boshan retreated quickly, the golden insect on his fingertips flashing, resisting Muxiang's temptation.
The moment Qiao Qiao smelled the fragrance, she hid in the shadow space. The situation was critical, and Yueying took Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man in.
Compared to the other people outside who were still awake, they had already noticed the shadow's existence, but she didn't have the energy to think about it for the time being.
“Hehe…”
She got up and sat on the ground, sweating and breathing heavily. She was almost bewitched by Cooper.
After a few seconds, he forced himself to calm down. The money ability only lasted for three minutes, and Gu Bo had only one skill left, which almost wiped out their entire army. If he had two skills...
Qiao Qiao stood up. The problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it would be more difficult to deal with later.
"Yueying, it's up to you this time."
As the owner of the shadow, although she was not sure whether it was because Moon Shadow was an SSR-level card or not considered a living being, she vaguely felt that Moon Shadow was not within the control of Gu Bo.
The cold voice of Yueying came from the shadow space: "Okay."
It's chaos outside.
