In the early morning, just as the dim sun was just above the horizon, a team of ten people appeared in the open space in front of the seed store in Tongqi District.
Chu Zhitian and Chen Jingwen are patiently waiting for the investigation results of the team members. This time, due to the emergence of unknown things, the knowledgeable Chen Jingwen is indispensable, so Dong Haozhe can only sit in the base camp.
The door of the old house is open, and the courtyard inside is clear at a glance. There is a vigorous and powerful pine tree in the corner, scattered plantain trees with fallen leaves, and only withered vines. The climbing tigers are densely covered with old fences. Some parts of the fence have been dilapidated, revealing some There is a hole, and the blue-gray tiles are clearly visible.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are dried reddish-brown bloodstains everywhere on the ground, and Xiao Ziling can smell the strong smell of blood even standing at the door.
The people in the team died here the day before yesterday, so the smell of blood should have faded away. It seems that there have been quite a few dead people here these days.
Xiao Ziling secretly became vigilant. There are already many awakened people here. I wonder if any of these people are above the second level? Xiao Ziling knew very well that his current ability was equivalent to that of a second-order awakened person, so he was cautious and did not enter the old house. Instead, he led the two team members who followed him back.
Xiao Ziling walked up to Chu Zhitian's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chu, Deputy Team Chen, the yard smells strongly of blood. I'm afraid there are quite a few people who died here in the past few days. Because the situation is unknown, I didn't lead the team in to investigate .”
Chu Zhitian nodded, and asked Xiao Ziling to wait for the others to come back.
After hearing Xiao Ziling's words, Chen Jingwen's expression was a bit solemn: "It seems that the yard is a trap..."
Soon, Zhen Yilong came back with two team members, he shook his head at Chu Zhitian and Chen Jingwen, expressing that he got nothing there.
Dai Hongfei led a team member back last, and he said with a hint of joy on his face: "Brother Chu, Deputy Team Chen, the seeds in the store are indeed gone, but I checked the warehouse carefully, and I found out It's a little unusual, but Brother Chu and Deputy Chen have to go and see for themselves if it's useful."
Hearing this, Chen Jingwen looked up at Chu Zhitian, waiting for his decision.
Chu Zhitian nodded and said: "It's fine if there is any abnormality, let's go and have a look together."
After speaking, he led everyone straight to the warehouse of the seed store.
In the warehouse, Dai Hongfei pointed to a bottomless bowl-sized hole in the corner and said, "Brother Chu, Deputy Team Chen, you see this hole here, and here, here." Everyone pointed out his discovery.
Chen Jingwen snapped his fingers suddenly and whispered, "Water Dragon Shield!"
With this sound, a layer of visible water quickly wrapped around Chen Jingwen's body, and Chen Jingwen, who was on guard, approached carefully, and slowly stretched out a hand to touch the hole.
Then there was another low shout: "Water dragon storm!" Chen Jingwen's hand touching the hole suddenly covered the hole, Xiao Ziling and the others only heard a rush of water rushing into the hole, because of the rapid flow, even if they covered it At the entrance of the cave, several jets of water shot out from between Chen Jingwen's fingers, rushed to Chen Jingwen's body, and were blocked by the water shield on his body.
After about three minutes, Chen Jingwen moved his hand away. Except for the water splashed out, the hole was still bottomless, as if the water flow just now was illusory and did not exist.
"Jingwen, step down!" Chu Zhitian immediately said upon seeing this.
Chen Jingwen dodges quickly, with a sound of "Dian Wu", followed by a flying lightning from Chu Zhitian's finger, directly into the hole.
For a long time, there is still no response!
Dong Haozhe scratched his head and asked doubtfully, "Is it just a mouse hole?"
"No!" Chen Jingwen said categorically, "There is no hair or paw prints at the entrance of the cave, so it is not an animal such as a mouse, and the entrance of the cave is not wet and smooth. Although it is very deep, it is very dry. Although it looks like a round cave at first glance, carefully identify it. It can be seen that it is angular and the soil is rough, so reptiles are excluded."
"Then what made this hole?" Dai Hongfei was puzzled. After all the animals that could make a hole were excluded, what else could make a hole? And make such a deep hole
Zhen Yilong knew that there was no danger at the entrance of the cave, so he squatted down and began to study it. He took out a piece of paper from his arms, and carefully gestured towards the entrance of the cave. Soon he turned his head and said loudly: "I think I found the killer. The real murderer of our team members."
Zhen Yilong's words lifted everyone's spirits, Qiqi watched him and waited for answers.
"The shape of the hole is exactly the same as the wounds on the vital parts of our three team members." Zhen Yilong said while facing the white paper in his hand to everyone, and saw three circular patterns of different sizes clearly depicted on the white paper .
"I drew this according to the wound. Except for some differences in size, the other water chestnuts are exactly the same." Zhen Yilong pointed to the three patterns and continued.
After careful comparison by everyone, it was indeed the case.
"From this point of view, this must be a kind of creature." Chen Jingwen frowned. Although he found some clues, it was still full of fog. There was no such thing in the known creatures.
Everyone fell into the predicament of thinking again, and each was extremely entangled.
In fact, as soon as Xiao Ziling saw the entrance of the cave, he had a faint suspicion in his heart that it was that thing. Hearing what Chen Jingwen and Zhen Yilong said again, he was even more sure that he was right.
The horror in the middle and late stages of the doomsday—the king of plant evolution, with the desire to eat meat, can infinitely extend and attack ubiquitous vines.
The most suspicious thing about this successfully evolved vine plant is the withered climbing tiger that seems to have withered all over the walls of the old house.
Xiao Ziling couldn't bear to see everyone hurt by this, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly heeped, with an expression of enlightenment on his face.
Everyone was awakened by Xiao Ziling's exclamation, and all turned their heads to look at Xiao Ziling.
Xiao Ziling quickly said: "Brother Chu, Deputy Chen, I heard that a few days ago, an evolved animal was discovered? I heard that it also has supernatural powers."
Chu Zhitian nodded and said: "That's right, it's a hunting dog guarding the warehouse. I didn't expect it to evolve and can spew out flames. However, that hunting dog has regained the ferocity of a beast and has a strong sense of attacking humans. For safety's sake , I dealt with it."
Xiao Ziling suddenly smiled playfully: "Since animals can evolve, can plants also? I suspect that this hole is left by evolved plants, and only plants are interested in the seeds of the same plants. But this is just my inspiration I don’t know if it’s reliable or not.”
Xiao Ziling's words broadened the space for everyone to think, and Chen Jingwen first expressed his affirmation: "Xiaoling is right. Our sights should not be limited to zombies and animals. Perhaps plants are also our enemies."
Chu Zhitian's expression became heavy. He understood what this meant, and the living conditions of human beings became more difficult.
