Gunfire erupted in the north of the city, attracting zombies from a radius of several kilometers.
The 100-strong military support team was caught in a pincer attack and was in a critical situation.
They retreated to the tops of the buildings and picked off the zombies below.
The high-level zombies were intercepted and killed by Xiang Yang, Qin Yi, and others.
With helicopters parked on the roof, there's no worry about an escape route; all we need to do is unleash our ammunition.
After Daqiang stopped his supersonic crawling, the kapok tree began to emit red mist again.
Apart from the continuous explosions coming from inside, the people could no longer see what the battle was about to take place inside.
What is the purpose of collecting these kapok flower fruits?
"We almost lost several soldiers because of them!"
Commander Zhang, who was directing the volunteer operation, pointed to the thousands of red fruits piled up behind him.
“These fruits contain powerful spiritual energy, so Brother Chen’s concerns may be justified.”
"Take these fruits back to Professor Liu for analysis, and also bring over ammunition supplies!"
Upon hearing this, a soldier behind the regimental commander packed dozens of fruits into his backpack and ran toward the transport helicopter.
"There are too many zombies, and our ammunition cannot support opening up another battlefield."
Xiang Yang, wielding a heavy sniper rifle, was taking down a level-three zombie detected by his mental perception, as he answered:
"We can retreat after clearing out the large number of zombies controlled by the mutated kapok trees and collecting their fruit."
"I'm asking you, are you one of us or someone else's lackey?"
Commander Zhang slapped Xiangyang on the head, somewhat annoyed by his siding with outsiders.
"Hehe, this is also how they rescued the survivors trapped by the mutated plants."
Xiang Yang pointed to the thousands of survivors behind him who were orderly boarding the helicopter to be transported back to the base.
“That’s true. Our previous explorations didn’t reveal so many survivors within the red mist. If we bomb them directly…”
"This sudden apocalypse, sigh..."
The scattered soldiers on the rooftop were methodically clearing away the zombies.
The helicopter carrying survivors and kapok fruit has taken off and is heading towards the southern war zone base.
Within the rising red mist.
Huang Zhao is still keeping the kapok tree in check.
The bombardment of grenades from the sky never stopped.
With the grenade stockpile previously stored at the military base, there were enough to keep them throwing grenades all day.
The kapok tree has no good means of dealing with attacks from the air.
The branches were no match for Daqiang, and the kapok tree quickly gave up using its branches to attack.
Instead, the kapok flowers that spewed out from the main trunk shot towards Daqiang in the air like a machine gun.
"That's really clever of you, putting your knowledge to practical use!"
Having likely encountered soldiers using machine guns on the outskirts, the kapok tree quickly altered its structure and began using it to deal with Huang Zhao.
"Unfortunately, it's still not fast enough, and besides, this thing is useless against psychic ability users."
The trajectory of each bullet within the mental perception zone was clearly visible.
Even if Daqiang's path is in the bullet's trajectory, Huang Zhao can use his telekinesis to forcefully push the bullet off track.
The aerial battle once again reached a stalemate.
On the ground, King Kong nimbly dodged the entangled branches.
Gorillas are far more agile than humans, so there's no need to worry in the short term.
Suddenly, the mutated kapok tree paused its attack.
Huang Zhao could sense a surge of anger emanating from the other party.
"What's going on? What did the military do to provoke it?"
Huang Zhao's mental perception revealed that the mental fluctuations of the mutated kapok tree were becoming more intense and even slightly stronger.
At the same time, the kapok tree's offensive began to weaken, no longer paying attention to the attacks of grenades and Huang Zhao's mental shock.
"It seems the military's operation to collect kapok flowers outside has been discovered?"
Even while fighting, he dared to be distracted. Huang Zhao decided to give the kapok tree a big one.
At this point, there were no other human survivors left in the red fog area besides Huang Zhao.
We can now use our special weapon against mutated plants!
Hey Kapok Tree, wanna have a smoke?
Huang Zhao directed King Kong to break free from the blockade of the mutated kapok tree branches and retreat outwards.
At the same time, Chen Run's supernatural space on Daqiang's back fluctuated.
A medium-sized oil tanker truck fell straight down from a height of 500 meters.
The tremendous noise of the tens of tons of weight crashing down interrupted the mutated kapok tree's mental energy process of collecting its fruit.
If the tanker truck isn't stopped, it will be severely damaged!
The powerful kinetic energy was enough to break it from the tree!
The roots of the mutated kapok tree quickly attach to the top of the canopy.
They formed a large net, which slightly reduced the downward momentum of the tanker truck.
The tanker truck began to deform under intense pressure, generating a large amount of heat that was transferred to the gasoline it was carrying.
Then a violent explosion occurred!
A mushroom cloud rose from the center of a mutated kapok tree.
Before the explosion, Huang Zhao had already manipulated Da Qiang to escape at top speed.
Therefore, it was only blown around in the air by the blast wave and rolled a few times without being harmed.
The raging flames burned away the red mist that had been repainted on the kapok trees.
The mutated kapok tree trunk was once again displayed to everyone.
The hundred-meter-tall tree was engulfed in flames, and all the few leaves on its crown had disappeared.
The slender branches of the tree crown were burning, like a torch standing on the ground.
Directing King Kong to climb a building, Huang Zhao looked at his masterpiece.
I wonder if you are satisfied with this gift?
The only thing is that the kapok tree didn't establish a mental connection with Huang Zhao, otherwise it would have been driven mad with anger.
As the fire subsided, Huang Zhao directed Jin Gang to continue approaching, unleashing mental attacks on the kapok tree at an even higher frequency.
With Huang Zhao holding it back, it had no time to do anything it wanted.
They could only redirect their offensive entirely to Jin Gang and Huang Zhao on the ground.
The consciousness then carried Chen Run towards the location where the military was stationed.
The plan is to store the harvested fruit in the supernatural space and temporarily abandon the interference with the kapok tree.
As soon as they got close, they spotted a helicopter leaving with some of the fruit and survivors.
Suddenly, I understood why the kapok tree had been in such a hurry to harvest its fruit.
I felt a little annoyed that I hadn't explained things clearly.
The mutated kapok tree is probably on guard now, and will definitely continue to reclaim its spiritual energy after extinguishing the fire.
Daqiang's massive body descended from the rooftop, manipulating Chen Run to collect nearly ten thousand kapok flowers collected by the military from the ground into his supernatural space.
Huang Zhao pointed to the departing helicopter and explained to Commander Zhang and Xiang Yang, the military leaders:
"The act of removing the kapok flower fruit earlier has alerted the mutated plants."
"If it absorbs all the spiritual energy contained within these fruits, its strength will increase dramatically!"
"At that time, it might break through to level seven in one fell swoop!"
"No one can stop it!"
