Wei Shengyi sneered: "As expected, it's a plant."
He had felt something was off earlier. This thing didn't look like an insect; instead, it gave him a sense of familiarity. His mutated genes originated from plants, so it was normal for him to feel something was amiss.
The branches grew longer and longer, sprouting from the skin and flesh, making one's scalp tingle.
The dark green rhizomes, of unknown plant species, exhibited remarkable vitality, with their protruding stems circling around the microorganism, quickly reaching a length of three or four meters.
The tail hadn't fully emerged yet, so you can imagine how long this thing was.
Wei Shengyi was not afraid. He let himself be surrounded, his gaze never leaving Shang Wangliu's wound, until the thing was completely out before he let go and slowly stood up.
The things wrapped around his body began to tighten as if his movements had startled him.
Wei Shengyi met Si Yu's gaze, and with lightning speed, used his dagger to cut through the encirclement and escape. Si Yu, without any hesitation, flicked a flame at him, and with a "sizzle," the flame ignited.
Although there was no sound, the rolling dark green branches fully expressed the word "pain".
Wei Shengyi glanced around, his face darkening. "Hurry up, those things are coming."
Without needing a translator's explanation, the sprawling, dark green branches appeared in their sight, as if gravity had no effect on them, floating over in mid-air one by one.
There was one just now, but now there's a dense, overwhelming mass of them. You'd think they'd wandered into a seagrass meadow in the deep sea.
There were too many bullets, and they were basically useless. Not everyone could set fires like Si Yu, so it wasn't uncommon for bullets to pierce people's bodies.
Micro-translation can save one, but not all.
Besides, he wasn't a good person himself, and staying together would make them too conspicuous. He decisively said, "Spread out. Those who can't hold out should find a way out." Whether they survive or not depends on their own fate.
After saying that, he grabbed Kong Sang's wrist and ran off in one direction.
Nie Kongsang cannot get into trouble until he finds a way to be free.
After running with the person for a while, they realized that the person hadn't said a word. When they turned around, their faces darkened, and Nie Kongsang's other hand was being held tightly by another man.
He thought it was a trip for two, but it was actually a trip for three.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Changli asked with a half-smile.
While rushing around in such a hurry, Wei Shengyi's mouth didn't stop either: "They've already broken up, yet he's still clinging on. Disgusting, what a jerk."
If it weren't for the timing, Kong Sang would have burst out laughing. You know what, it really did have that vibe.
Kong Sang composed himself after his palm was scratched.
I don't know if you'll get hurt, but I know you're probably going to be in trouble.
Dali shook off Weishengyi's hand that was holding Kongsang and led the group to hide to the side.
The menacing creatures that had caught up with them, resembling seaweed monsters, seemed uninterested in them and instead surrounded Wei Shengyi.
Her pale green eyes grew cold, and the ordinary grass and plants around her grew wildly, twisting their slender bodies and fighting with the seaweed demon.
Pale green and dark green intertwined, the two kinds of juices splashed out from the cut pieces, and the sweet taste began to cloy the throat.
"It tastes like the liquid from the leaves and branches. My God, did it grow up drinking saccharin?" Even Kong Sang, a seasoned lover of sweet soup, couldn't stand it.
Lin Changli covered Kong Sang's mouth and nose with one hand and coughed for a while.
Wei Shengyi was also coughing from the spiciness, but fortunately his superpower was strong enough to fight his way through and reach Kong Sang. The three of them continued on their way.
Those things behind can't be completely eliminated; there are too many of them.
We can only head to the next red maple forest area that Julie Pello mentioned first, because apparently these things can't be followed there.
But perhaps the plant mutation genes were too attractive to these things, and they kept pestering Microbiome, and just when things seemed to be going well, the red leaf area was within reach.
Yin Wu and his men burst out of the red maple forest, and without uttering a sound, they opened fire...
It seems he's quite unhappy about being tricked by Kongsang.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, the three of them were sandwiched in the middle. Kong Sang was protected by Lin Changli and was not injured.
Wei Shengyi was in a bad situation; most of his attention was focused on the things aimed at him from behind, and he was hit by a hail of stray bullets in the chaos.
"Huff!" Kong Sang was panting heavily. The journey, especially in such an uneven terrain as the rainforest, had exhausted him.
Luckily, I have a history of night runs, otherwise it would have been really tough.
"Huff, huff..." There was an injured person beside him who was panting even harder.
They were originally going to the Red Leaf Forest. However, Yin Wu's firepower was too strong, and they were forced to turn back. They are currently hiding in a small cave.
Lin Changli was at the cave entrance, using water bubbles to seal off the seaweed monsters that were determined to enter, but seeing that more and more were gathering, Lin Changli estimated that he couldn't hold out for long.
Staying put is tantamount to waiting to die, but the problem is...
As she glanced at the bright red stain spreading across Wei Shengyi's abdomen, Kong Sang's brows furrowed.
Kong Sang had anticipated the difficulties of this journey, but the initial setback still exceeded his expectations, and Wei Sheng's translation suffered a blow...
His blood-stained hand gripped her wrist, his pale green eyes like new buds sprouting after the rain, both resilient and fragile: "Master, are you going to abandon me?"
Her brows furrowed even more, and before she could speak, Wei Shengyi wrapped her arms around Kong Sang's waist, much like a large cat being affectionate.
The next second, he was thrown aside and slammed against a wall, clutching his bleeding abdomen and coughing violently.
"If you dare touch her again, you'll die here." Lin Changli disliked Wei Shengyi's translation. In some ways, they were the same kind of people, willing to sacrifice their dignity to survive.
He clearly wanted to kill Sangsang, but he was injured himself and was willing to lose face and try to win Sangsang's heart. He would be a ticking time bomb sooner or later, so it was better to let him die here.
At this moment, Lin Changli was filled with murderous intent and naturally showed no mercy in his attack.
Kong Sang had already seen through Lin Changli's meaning, but... the black market was very useful. She was now completely on the opposite side of the Nie family, and it was the perfect time to frantically recruit connections.
Peach Blossom Eyes flickered slightly as she stepped forward to help Wei Sheng up, saying, "I won't kill you. I said... I won't humiliate you, nor will I set you free. You came to the rainforest to help me, so I won't kick you when you're down."
If you loosen the rope around someone's neck, they'll be the first to pounce on their owner.
Lin Changli's expression darkened slightly, but he ultimately refrained from making a move.
He had someone lean to one side, then lifted the garment to examine the wound. He looked up at Wei Shengyi, whose face was pale but still as exquisite as a gentleman in a painting.
“You have something from An Xiuqi in your heart. I’ll help you remove the bullet and use immortality to stimulate cell activity. You should be able to withstand it.”
"Immortality, that green gene drug? I saw it in An Xiuqi's hands during the apocalypse."
Kong Sang nodded: "It is something that can save lives, but it also consumes life itself, but you have no choice right now."
She closed her eyes and then opened them again. In her eyes, Wei Shengyi had no secrets at all. With the blessing of the purple light, everything about her blood, bones and muscles was very clear. The bullet stuck in her flesh was quite obvious.
But Kong Sang didn't rush to operate it. Instead, she took out a portable mirror. She had long wanted to see if she was as non-human as Nie Jingxing...
