Chapter 90 Counterattack
"Qingyin is a good name. It would be nice if I really had a partner like this." Pu Zhi lied without thinking and refused to admit it. Anyway, she had never seen him.
Under the current circumstances, Jinna would not tell these things to anyone casually.
Jin Na looked as if she had expected it. She knew Pu Zhi would not admit it easily. "I understand that you don't believe me now, but the base is not safe now. I hope we can form an alliance and take care of each other in the future. How do you think?"
If there was no other place to go except the base, she would have wanted to move with Team 4.
The other bases are far away, and it is difficult to reach the destination without sufficient supplies. Moreover, the dangers on the road are not to be underestimated. With the strength of Yangyang and the other people in the team alone, it would be difficult to deal with a level four enemy, not to mention that there is now a level five enemy!
Pu Zhi rubbed his fingers and agreed after a moment of silence.
It is always better to have one more friend than one more opponent. Anyway, this alliance is just a verbal agreement now and I don’t need to do anything extra.
"Does the rest of Team 4 know?"
Jinna shook her head and said in a low voice: "They are still too young. I will only tell you this for now."
After getting the answer he wanted, Pu Zhi said goodbye, returned to Villa No. 2, and told everyone the news about the mutant banyan tree.
In the afternoon, the base sent departure notice to all registered teams.
The mission to strangle the level 5 mutant plants requires us to gather at the base gate at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the things the advance team has investigated will be included.
Early the next morning, a large team gathered at the gate of the base.
The army dispatched more than 1,000 people, and together with the hunting team, there were nearly 1,100 people.
There were a total of 40 vehicles, five of which were fully equipped with various weapons, as well as five heavy tanks and three helicopters.
The residents of District 5 had already been awakened by the noise. They poked their heads out of their rooms and discussed the mission in a flurry.
At half past six, the gate of the base opened. This time, the base commander gave special permission to open the gate half an hour earlier.
With the start of the vehicle engines, the team officially set off.
The line was long and the tanks were too wide, so some areas needed to be cleared before passing.
It was already eight o'clock in the morning when we arrived at our destination. The temperature at this time was the most comfortable in the day.
Deputy base commander Cheng Wenxiu personally led the team for this mission. Li Cang and Li Simeng stood quietly behind him, without any trace of their previous arrogance.
Unexpectedly, Xishan was also standing nearby, and it seemed that he had come in the same car this morning.
Everyone stood in their own position, and the hunting teams could chat with each other from time to time. The army stood neatly and fully armed on one side, so quiet that they didn't look like real people.
Ye Zhou held a tablet and stood respectfully beside Cheng Wenxiu, explaining the current situation to him. The soldiers who had been on guard all night did not find anything unusual, so the mutant banyan tree should still be there.
One of the helicopters flew to the location of the mutant banyan tree to investigate the situation. To ensure safety, the helicopter's altitude was maintained above 2,000 meters.
30 minutes later, the helicopter returned and confirmed that the mutant banyan tree was still there and found no abnormalities. It was not even attacked.
Deputy Base Commander Cheng ordered the troops to be divided into six groups to surround the banyan tree.
Following orders, Team Two went to a fixed location with Team Ten, along with a force of more than 100 men.
Almost all of them were holding blue and white laser guns, which were slightly different in style from the previous ones, and should have been improved.
Everyone stopped at the 3,000-meter position. Pu Zhi took the intercom and said, "This is Team 2. The roots of the mutant banyan tree are already hidden in the ground. We are ready to attack at any time."
Ye Zhou replied with a received message.
Everyone looked up at the helicopter in the sky, waiting for them to fire the first shot of the attack.
From three helicopters, three direct-fire missiles after another rushed towards the targets on the ground.
The mutant banyan tree, which had been very quiet all this time, suddenly spread out dozens of strong and flexible roots in the blink of an eye, and rose to a height of nearly 1,000 meters in less than half a second.
It was so fast that no one's head or eyes could react and the missile exploded directly in the air.
Suddenly, huge clouds of smoke bloomed in the air, followed by the broken roots of the banyan tree, and a strange, piercing sound like a cat scratching a blackboard that rang in everyone's ears. The high decibels made people wish they had no ears.
Jinna frowned. She could understand the language of animals but not plants. However, her intuition told her that the sound was definitely made by the mutant banyan tree.
In the air, three helicopters were still dropping missiles without any slack.
The power of each one makes it difficult for the mutant banyan tree to cope with it.
But even so, it still extends its roots to block the attack, and as one root after another is destroyed, new ones will be added.
After firing more than twenty missiles, the mutant banyan tree became completely angry.
Somehow it seemed to have found the trick. It no longer used its roots to hit the missile but instead used its strength to tie it up. Then it cleverly changed its direction and threw it towards the crowd with force.
As luck would have it, the first unlucky guy was Team 1, which was also the location where Cheng Wenxiu and his team were.
Li Cang broke out in a cold sweat and almost instinctively fired a fireball at the missile.
But this was still not enough! Li Simeng and Song Xin were both stunned and could not react at all.
If this missile were to fall, at least dozens of people would die!
At the critical moment, Luo Yun used all his strength to stretch out his hands towards the missile. An invisible resistance and flame cooperated to finally make the missile explode in mid-air.
The huge explosion made people's ears ring, because some soldiers in the front were directly knocked over only a dozen meters away.
It seemed very slow, but in fact only three breaths had passed.
Before everyone had time to rejoice, they began to worry again.
Because the mutated banyan tree threw the six missiles it had just dropped in all directions.
Zhang Xiaobai was quick-eyed and quick-handed. A bolt of lightning shot out from his palm and rushed towards the oncoming missile at the speed of light.
The next second the missile exploded, creating waves of heat that made people dizzy.
Teams in other directions were not so lucky. Only two missiles were intercepted, and two exploded in the crowd.
The crowd suddenly became chaotic.
The people from Team Ten stood beside Team Two, feeling frightened when they saw the yellow sand and thick smoke rising from the ground in the distance.
If they had not been following Team 2, they would have had no ability to intercept the missile.
To be honest, the moment the missile flew over, Cheng Wenxiu couldn't help but take a big step back.
Seeing this situation, he knew that he could not launch any more missiles, so he immediately issued an order to stop launching missiles.
But this pause gave the mutant banyan tree a chance to fight back. Its roots grew wildly and reached the helicopter in just two or three breaths.
The pilot's eyes widened with fear when he saw the roots that suddenly appeared. He reached out to change the direction of the helicopter. The next second, the roots penetrated the windshield that even a gun could not break and went straight into the pilot's heart.
The brown roots stained with bright red blood continued to be powerful as they penetrated the driver's seat and rushed to the back row, killing four soldiers in the back row in an instant like meat on a skewer.
