"What is this?"
The doctor sat by the bed, carefully examining the young man's arm.
He has calmed down, his eyes are dazed, his chest is rising and falling faster, he is breathing through his open mouth, his arms are bloody and mangled, but one can still clearly see a small cluster of green mixed in with the pink tender flesh.
Like a sapling, a newly sprouted sapling.
"Can you hear me?" the doctor asked.
The young man rolled his eyes and slowly focused his gaze on the doctor.
"What's this?" The doctor held up his index finger.
The young man opened his mouth but couldn't speak. His Adam's apple rolled and he managed to make a weak and hoarse sound.
"Hungry... so hungry..."
It feels like I haven't eaten for three days.
The ambulance drove very fast and all vehicles on the road gave way. It arrived at the hospital in just a few minutes and several nurses pushed the bed quickly into the hospital.
…
Underground garage.
The branches were like vine tentacles, dancing and swinging flexibly in the air, changing angles and directions, and attacking everyone one after another.
Although the trapped person has escaped from the state of being tied up, he still has no ability to resist at this time, because different parts of the body begin to itch, and the itching sensation becomes more and more severe, and he cannot control it at all, and even resorts to self-harm.
The branches outside kept blocking and whipping the trapped people, and the people inside scratched their itchy parts like crazy.
Everyone had to cut off the branches coming from all directions, and at the same time find a way to tie up the trapped people with ropes again to prevent them from hurting themselves. They were so overwhelmed that they failed to cut off the branches and were hit hard by them.
"ah!"
Blood was flying from the branches.
"Everybody be careful! There are thorns on those branches!"
The man who was hit by the branch covered his wound and reminded.
Luo Zheyu held the handle of the sickle, swung it half a circle, then let go, using inertia to make the sickle rotate another half circle in the air, and the handle returned to his hand, and this cycle repeated itself, spinning faster and faster.
The huge sickle spun in the air, like an electric fan turned to the fifth gear, blowing everyone's clothes and hair up, bringing a cool breeze...
At the same time, all the branches attacking from above were cut off with a "crackling sound", leaving no branches untouched.
"You take these people and go first. I'll cover you."
He said.
These people must be allowed to leave the encirclement of the strange trees so that they can search for tree roots and set fire to the trees without any scruples.
"You, can you do it?"
During the break in the fight, everyone looked at each other. It was not that they did not believe in Luo Zheyu's strength... well, they just did not believe in Luo Zheyu's strength. They had never seen Luo Zheyu before, and had never heard that Captain Wen had a nephew who was a person with special abilities. In addition, the time and place of Luo Zheyu's appearance were too strange.
Not only did they not believe in Luo Zheyu's ability, they also did not believe in his identity.
"Of course I can."
Luo Zheyu was spinning the sickle seriously without even looking at them.
"But if you don't want to leave, you can. I'll leave first."
As he said this, he pretended to take a step forward.
"Hey! Wait!"
"We believe you."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. The captain of Team 1 was outside trying to stop the tree wall from closing. The deputy captain, Yu Biao, could not take action for the time being because his supernatural power was electricity. Both of them were not here, so he was obviously the third convincing person in the team.
"Quick, all the guards get out, each of you take one, even if you have to drag them out!"
This sentence is said to the team members.
The trapped people were covered in blood from their own scratches. Now they had finally calmed down. They were as quiet as chickens, staring blankly, powerless and unable to walk.
"Come out safely, we'll be waiting for you outside."
The middle-aged man was walking at the back, carrying someone, and spoke seriously to Luo Zheyu.
Luo Zheyu nodded at him.
When a team of members walked out of the garage, about ten meters away from him, and had already walked out of the tree wall.
Luo Zheyu slowly lowered the sickle that was spinning above his head, adjusted his posture and strength, and let it rotate in front of him.
Then he walked slowly, step by step, deeper into the garage.
In that direction, even though the branches were dancing wildly and the fight was so fierce just now, the parts of the tree walls in other directions showed signs of loosening. There were still countless branches and leaves gathered there, densely packed, forming a natural tree wall.
There must be something fishy.
If a team of people escape from the garage with the trapped people, they will certainly encounter more obstructions from the strange trees. It would be better for them to cause some minor damage at the other end so that the strange trees will have no time to pursue them.
Three seconds later.
Luo Zheyu spun the huge sickle with one hand, less than half a meter away from the tight wall of trees.
During this time, the branches that attacked him were dealt with by the sickle in the front, while the branches in other directions were cut off by his sharp nails.
Looking at the dense wall of trees in front of him that seemed to know nothing, Luo Zheyu couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and bend his eyes slightly.
He slightly turned his body and pushed the spinning sickle to the side.
“Ka-ka-ka-ka…”
The branches were cut at high speed by the sharp sickle, and countless wood chips and tree sap splashed all over Luo Zheyu's body and face.
He touched his face, which was hurt by the sawdust, expressionlessly, adjusted the angle of the sickle, and started again.
“Thump, thump, thump, thump…”
The flying wood chips and juice all hit the corners of Luo Zheyu's trousers, leaving several holes in his black trousers.
At this time, the strange tree finally reacted.
The countless branches that made up the tree wall suddenly moved and danced, as if a sleeping giant had finally awakened. They were no longer like the previous trunks with the thickest one meter in diameter, but like a real monster, with several branches that were seven or eight meters wide and like tentacles tumbling and rolling, mixed with countless slightly smaller branches.
They roared silently, the earth shook, and rocks above their heads could not withstand such a huge force and fell down.
Luo Zheyu raised his hand and threw the sickle lightly. The sickle flew out of his hand, spun a circle in the air, and was caught steadily by the handle when it fell.
Without stopping for a moment, he swung the sickle vigorously. The huge branch that was like a tentacle was touched by the teeth of the sickle and broke into two pieces cleanly. One piece fell to the ground, and the other piece danced wildly and hit Luo Zheyu.
He dodged sideways, and the branches hit the ground. The entire underground garage shook three times, and larger stones continued to fall from the top.
He casually cut off another piece of branch that had fallen to the ground with a knife. He looked at the countless branches dancing wildly, as if they were about to overturn the ground, and frowned.
It's not that I'm afraid of this strange tree, but...
The underground garage only has this much space, how could it possibly accommodate all these branches?
Deep within the swaying branches of the strange tree, there is endless darkness.
What makes the underground garage expand the inherent space, and where did the tree come from?
The ground was shaking more and more violently, more and more rubble was falling from the top, and this place could no longer hold on.
Luo Zheyu stood firmly on the ground, and his whole body leaned over as the ground shook, as if he was growing on the ground.
Without exception, the branches that attacked were broken into several pieces.
He really wanted to take the sickle and go straight into the strange tree's nest, but reason stopped him.
After Team One goes out, Team Two will pick them up, and Team One will definitely tell them that there is a man in the underground garage who calls Wen Jin uncle, named Luo Zheyu.
Wen Jin will definitely come down to find him.
If we can’t find him who has already jumped into the unknown space, he will be hit by the branches again…
But I really want to go down and take a look.
Luo Zheyu tapped the handle of the sickle with his index finger and fell into deep thought while chopping branches.
Release the silver-white flame to burn the trees?
No, less than five minutes had passed. Due to the obstruction of the strange trees and the shaking of the ground, it was very likely that a team of people were still staying in the underground garage and had not evacuated.
Create a smokescreen, turn yourself into someone else, and let it out to get away with it?
That's not good either. Although the ability of the illusion has improved compared to before, it is still not enough to make it seem real when people touch it.
Luo Zheyu began to think about it very seriously.
…
“Boom—boom—”
Accompanied by loud noises, the ground began to shake for no reason.
"What's going on!"
"what happened?"
Because the strange trees on the ground suddenly attacked people, the members of the second team who were trying to cut off the branches became unstable and swayed from side to side due to the sudden earthquake.
"The vibration seems to be coming from below!"
"Nonsense, isn't an earthquake a shaking of the ground or a movement of the sky?"
"No, no, I mean, the vibration came from the underground garage!"
"It's true." Wen Jin felt it carefully and then shouted, "Team One must have encountered trouble. Ten of you come with me and go down to take a look. The rest of you stay here and get out of the attack range of the strange tree!"
Wen Jin and ten team members hurried into the underground garage.
After cutting off the branches that blocked the garage entrance, we fought along the way and within a few minutes we met a group of people.
"What's going on?"
He asked, looking into the team while supporting the trapped person held by a team member from the other side.
"Where's your captain?"
The man being questioned shook his head and said, "I don't know. When we evacuated, the ground was not shaking yet. The captain asked us to take these ordinary people out first, and he went in to look for your nephew."
"oh……"
Wen Jin nodded and carried the trapped people out. The most important thing now was to get these ordinary people to a safe place.
Suddenly, he stopped.
"What did you just say!?"
The person being questioned said in confusion: "No, I don't know the situation inside. When we came out, we were only attacked by the strange tree, and there was no vibration..."
"I'm not asking you that!"
"Then, then Captain, let us come out first?"
"No, the sentence after this one!"
"Eh? The last sentence... Did the captain go in to look for your nephew? Your nephew said he stayed behind to cover the rear. Is he very capable..."
"What nephew? What nephew!?" Wen Jin stared with a ferocious expression, his heart beating fast.
The person who answered was frightened and dared not speak.
"Come on, tell me! What nephew?"
"Just...just...he said you were his uncle, his name was...what was it?"
The man who answered turned around and looked at his teammates.
"My name is Luo Zheyu."
"Oh yes, that's the name."
When Wen Jin heard this, her lips trembled and her eyelids twitched wildly.
"Why is he in there?"
"I don't know. He was already there when we went in. He arrived before us... Wasn't it you, Captain Wen, who let him in?"
Wen Jin stretched his neck and swallowed hard, letting the man carry the wounded, saying, "Send these ordinary people to a safe place and come to support me immediately."
He ran deep into the underground garage without looking back.
