Chapter 26: Separation
"Jun Ze, Chen Qi, Wang Ming, Sun Xiang, Wei Long, you and the Phoenix team will protect the scientific researchers and retreat first when the time is right. I will lead the Wild Wolf and Tian Lei to break out first." Xiao Chen glanced at everyone and gave orders in a deep voice.
Then his gaze fell on the delicate little woman in his arms, his eyes soft and full of love.
"Brother taught you how to use a gun. Do you remember how to use it?"
Lin Luo looked at Xiao Chen worriedly, knowing what he meant. Thinking of the danger they were about to face, his throat choked with sobs.
Lin Luo forced herself to hold back the tears that were about to flow out and answered softly.
"I remember, brother, don't worry, I will protect myself. You have to be careful, I'll wait for you."
The light in Xiao Chen's eyes seemed to crush the stars. He hugged the little woman in his arms tightly and kissed Lin Luo's red lips deeply and gently.
The two of them reluctantly left. Xiao Chen took one last deep look at Lin Luo, then turned and said to Luo Junze with a serious expression, "Protect her."
The tacit understanding between them made Luo Junze understand the captain's intention. Even if the captain didn't say it, he would protect her with his life.
"He." This one word was as important as life, letting Xiao Chen know that he could safely hand Lin Luo over to them.
"Wild Wolf, Tianlei, follow me. Let's go." Xiao Chen said and set off first, followed closely by Liang Chuan and Zeng Wei's teams.
Lin Luo looked at Xiao Chen's resolute back, and warmth instantly flashed in her eyes. She didn't dare to cry out loud, for fear that Xiao Chen would worry.
Silently wiping away the tears from her face, her gaze gradually became determined. She knew she couldn't hold her brother back. Only by protecting herself could her brother have no worries.
"Don't worry, Captain will be fine." Luo Junze saw Lin Luo was sad and comforted him softly.
"I know." She believed her brother.
Xiao Chen brought two teams to the first floor. Dense zombies pounced on them instantly, and he used the supernatural power in his hands to throw them forward.
Xiao Chen signaled the Tianlei Squad and the Wild Wolf Squad to follow him and slowly lead the zombies to the other side away from the locust tree.
Seeing this, Luo Junze decided to have Xue Ci, Lu Nan, Liang Shen, Wei Long and Wang Ming carry the people. He protected Lin Luo and Luo Yueyue behind him, and the others acted according to circumstances to protect the other people.
There were no zombies under the locust tree, so Luo Junze quickly led his men through it. The locust tree was lush and leafy, effectively concealing everyone's whereabouts.
Just when everyone thought they could cross over smoothly, someone stepped on a branch and broke it. A crisp crackling sound suddenly rang out in the quiet air, and the zombies wandering not far away heard the noise and all rushed over here.
"Damn." Chen Qi cursed and prepared to fight.
Lin Luo gripped the gun tightly in his hand, saw the zombies approaching, raised his hand, aimed and shot.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen looked at the zombies that kept pouring in and thought, this is not a solution, he must find that mental zombie.
He instructed two teams to hold on first and concentrate on searching with their mental power. After searching for a while, Xiao Chen soon found him on the top floor of the office building.
"Everyone, please be careful. I'll be right there." Xiao Chen said and ran quickly towards the office building.
Xiao Chen casually dealt with the zombies he encountered on the road, isolated his own breath, and approached the top floor.
The zombie stood quietly with its back to Xiao Chen, not noticing Xiao Chen's arrival.
Xiao Chen didn't intend to give it a chance to escape. He concentrated his powerful mental strength and stabbed the zombie's central nervous system fiercely. Taking advantage of the few seconds when the zombie paused, powerful lightning attacked the zombie's head, and the zombie slowly fell to the ground.
Xiao Chen approached the fallen zombie and, after confirming it was dead, used a dagger to pick out the crystal core from its head. It was a rare black color.
As Liang Chuan, Zeng Wei and his group were fighting, they noticed that the number of zombies pouring in began to decrease. They immediately saw the dawn of victory and intensified their attacks even more vigorously.
At this time, Lin Luo and Luo Junze were fighting and retreating. Everyone protected the five people who were carrying people on their backs and went ahead. After seeing the last scientific researcher successfully escape from danger, Luo Junze signaled to retreat.
Lin Luo was standing next to Luo Junze, concentrating on killing zombies, and was unaware of Li You who was slowly approaching her from behind.
Li You had been looking for an opportunity to kill Lin Luo along the way. Now that the opportunity had come, a malicious and dangerous look slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her expression was full of madness and murderous intent.
While no one was paying attention, she reached out and pushed Lin Luo towards the group of zombies.
Lin Luo was pushed by a force from behind and fell into the zombie group. The zombies' sharp nails scratched her arm, and they opened their bloody mouths and bit her fiercely.
“Lolo!”
"Little Lolo!"
"sister in law!"
.......
Luo Junze and Luo Yueyue, Chen Qi and Sun Xiang looked at Lin Luo who was surrounded by zombies in horror. They reacted quickly and prepared to rescue him, but something unexpected happened.
The huge locust tree stretched out countless thick branches, extending infinitely, wrapping around and pulling all the people on the ground onto the tree.
Luo Junze struggled with all his might, but the more he struggled, the tighter he was entangled. His skin was bleeding but the entanglement did not stop. His heart ached. Thinking that the girl he loved so much was missing, he wanted to kill himself. He felt guilty about the captain's trust and instructions.
The mutated locust tree can secrete a liquid similar to anesthetic, and the struggling people gradually become powerless.
Top floor.
Xiao Chen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a dense and fine pain spread from his heart. He had a premonition that he was about to lose something he loved.
"Lolo." An unconscious murmur escaped from his lips, and Xiao Chen's pupils were gradually replaced by panic.
He rushed towards the locust tree without stopping. His outward mental power did not find his beloved, and his entire brain was in great pain from the excessive use of mental power.
Xiao Chen ignored the severe pain in his brain, his whole body filled with violent lightning, turning all the zombies nearby into ashes.
Seeing the attacking branches, the huge thunder ball smashed into the thick roots of the locust tree without mercy. A big hole was instantly blown out at the roots, and a piece of it was charred black.
The locust tree's branches swayed wildly in pain, and it stretched out countless branches to try to attack Xiao Chen, but they were all broken by Xiao Chen's uncontrolled supernatural power.
Continuous lightning balls kept attacking the locust tree, and soon the roots of the locust tree began to break, as if it had lost its life. The tree that was lush and leafy a second ago withered in an instant, leaving only a crystal core emitting green light at the root.
Several people hanging on the tree were awakened by the severe pain when they fell to the ground. They found that the branches wrapped around them had withered and fell off with a little effort.
