Crazy Evolution of End Times Rebirth
Chapter 81 Mushroom
When the two left the 'Mirror Flower Pool' and returned to the room where they stayed, it was already bright outside. Although they hadn't slept all night, they were in a very good state of mind, and the four giant bees were even more energetic.
It's just that the house they lived in was in chaos, and the big bed they lived in was even smashed.Fortunately, Qiao Nan threw the package into the space when he fell asleep, and now they were worried about the jujube saplings and the analog monitoring glasses that were thrown away to nowhere.
The jujube sapling was put down by Qiao Nan in the small compartment. Although the door there was also damaged, it was obvious that the monster was huge and there were no living things inside, so even if the outside of the compartment was severely damaged, the innermost Jujube saplings escaped unharmed.
However, due to the absence of the adapted temperature and soil, the few saplings were a little listless.At this time, Qiao Nan no longer hesitated, and directly sent some mysterious energy to the jujube sapling, and the sapling obviously improved.
Qin Shaoheng rummaged through a pile of sawdust and broken furniture for the simulated monitoring glasses.
At the beginning, Tang Feng used several combinations of materials for simulating glasses to the sky, wishing to say that it was invulnerable.Now Qin Shaoheng only hopes that the glasses are strong enough not to be broken like wooden beds and furniture.
Although the monitoring screen can also be manually operated to 'remote monitor the aircraft', the effect and convenience cannot be compared with the analog monitoring glasses.
It's a pity that Qin Shaoheng rummaged through the pile of sawdust, but found nothing; he finally found it among the 'debris' piled up by a giant bee in the corner.
Qin Shaoheng encouraged the little thing, checked the simulated glasses and found no damage.Although I don't know how it encountered water and fire, but compared with the broken and slag-covered furniture on the ground, at least the degree of sturdiness is absolutely passable.
Qiao Nan looked at the pile of so-called 'debris' in the corner, and suspected that they were actually a badly damaged bedside table.
After the destruction by the monsters, there is not even a place to sit in the room.Qiao Nan and the others first dismantled some micro-devices installed inside and outside the room, and then found a place to stay in this residential building.
Qiao Nan fed the four giant bees, and gave Qin Shaoheng rations from the package he carried with him. The two ate while watching the surveillance video from last night.
They knew very well that something must have released a large amount of mist with anesthesia and illusion effects last night, which caused the two of them to fall asleep and not wake up when the weird carrion woman arrived.
The fog obviously wasn't just for the two of them.Judging from the performance of those berserk bodies attracted by the bloody smell and the paralysis of the four giant bees, the mist should have anesthesia and illusory effects on non-berserk species, and it is very likely that it is a kind of " Casting a wide net' type of biological hunting behavior.
And to be able to release such a large amount of mist, either the creature that produced the mist had a very large size, or it had an absolute advantage in number.
Although the fog will make ordinary people unable to see things, it has no effect on the multi-functional 'eyes' of the 'long-distance monitoring aircraft'.It's just that no matter how intelligent the "long-distance surveillance aircraft" is, the system chip plays a leading role after all.
Many new species have been recorded in the chip, but they are mainly aimed at dangerous species that actively attack. It is difficult to achieve a large number of capture comparisons and warning reminders for non-active attack species.
In the absence of a specific target, except for humans and human crazy bodies, some dynamic creatures are relatively easy to be captured by surveillance aircraft.Species that are often in a static state are not easy to be captured, especially mutant plants that have no obvious changes in shape, which are the most difficult for monitors to detect.
At present, the monitor focuses more on the capture and warning of dangerous species, and it is impossible to provide a detailed capture comparison for every flower, grass, tree, and wood that does not move.
That is very likely to cause even a leaf to fall, and the monitor will give a warning prompt.
From the pictures taken at night, it can be seen that some time after nightfall, a very light mist began to escape from the large area of withered woods.
However, this kind of fog is too thin. If they hadn't manually compared and captured it, the monitor would default to the fog that commonly exists in the forest at night, and it would be impossible to give a warning.
Gradually, the withered trees began to emit mist. Compared with the same return, we can see some different changes in the withered trees.
At this time, the monitor captures different changes before giving an abnormal warning.It's a pity that both Qiao Nan and Qin Shaoheng have been paralyzed by the mist, so naturally they can't take any countermeasures.
The 'Long-distance Monitoring Aircraft' automatically selected the screen capture and shooting according to the established program without receiving an instruction to deal with the abnormality, and performed corresponding high-definition processing on the shooting screen.
Through the processing of the picture, the two clearly saw that on the withered trees, there were extremely small red flowers emerging from the dry bark, blooming quickly and then withering quickly after spewing mist.
The picture was adjusted again, and the small red flowers that were seen at first were enlarged again and again.It was only then that the two discovered that it was not a small red flower at all, but an unusually small mushroom.They grow rapidly from dry, cracked bark, then swell and eventually burst with smoke.
And the smoke isn't really smoke, it's their tiny seeds.Through this method, they spit out the seeds and attach them to the surfaces of other non-mutated organisms.
Qiao Nan suspects that the paralysis and illusion of the mist are all because the seeds of these tiny fungi are contacting through the skin, slowly devouring the 'energy' of non-crazy species.
Qin Shaoheng agreed with this, otherwise there are so many trees in Gonglin County, it is impossible that there would not be a single tree that has changed.It is very likely that these tiny fungi sprayed a large number of seeds, causing all the surviving trees to be deprived of 'energy' in large quantities, and no benign mutations appeared in the end.
This kind of fungus does not attack or contaminate crazy species, but it is extremely harmful to non-crazy species.The best way is to burn the forests of parasitic fungi.
But the current drought is very serious. Although a big fire can destroy the fungus, it will definitely cause an immeasurable fire to spread wildly.
Not to mention the nearby Gonglin safety zone, judging from the flammability caused by the current drought, unless there are areas similar to rivers or separated by large areas without combustion aids, a fire can burn from north to south.
If there are not a large number of terrorist creatures, the people can also be organized to dig the fire barrier.This situation is basically a dream.
Qiao Nan sighed: "Why don't we collect some samples and go back to see what Dean Ni and the others can do."
Qin Shaoheng nodded, that's all he can do now.
Qiao Nan tried to collect both the giant bee and the sapling into the 'Mirror Flower Pond', which would make it easier for the two to move.However, he failed after two attempts. He suspected that it was the stone—the Venerable Huangliang who was playing tricks, but the old monster insisted that it was Qiao Nan's own problem.
The reason why Qin Shaoheng and the four giant bees were brought in was because the crisis at that time stimulated Qiao Nan's potential.In the absence of a crisis, unless Qiao Nan's cultivation reached a certain level, it would be difficult to enter the 'Mirror Flower Pool' in a physical state.
Both of them had no choice but to find another safe place and temporarily hide the giant bee and sapling there.However, the giant bee insisted on following the two of them, and they could only go with the sapling on their backs and four small things.
Under the scorching sun, the withered trees looked normal.Qiao Nan and the two had seen many withered plants along the way, so they didn't pay much attention to those trees when they passed by them.
Now knowing the fungus lurking beneath the skin of the trees, both are very careful.
Qin Shaoheng chose a place far away from the woods to put down the jujube saplings, and let the giant bees stay here to watch over them. The two turned on the monitoring function and approached the withered trees carefully.
Qiaonan saw some dead animals around the woods. At first they thought that the animals died of drought.Now, if you look closely, you can see something different.
The long-term severe drought without rainfall has led to the extinction of many plants, and animals have died of starvation and drought due to lack of food.Under this kind of excessive high temperature and exposure to the sun, as long as it is not found, bitten and gnawed by the berserk body, it is relatively complete.
Because the corpses are often not very corrupt, they are baked into 'hard jerky' by the high heat and the scorching sun.
Along the way, the two saw many dry and hard animal corpses, and even human corpses.
But the corpses near the woods here are not so 'complete'.It's more like something has accelerated the decay of the corpses.
Qiao Nan asked Qin Shaoheng to walk behind. He first approached a dry tree, wearing thick gloves and using long tweezers to pick up the dry and cracked skin of the tree, and carefully tore it off.
There are extremely fine red particles attached to the exposed trunk and bark.
Qin Shaoheng brought a sample collection box, and Qiao Nan put the bark in it carefully.
Seeing Qin Shaoheng fasten the sealing cover of the box, he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "You said that the woods here are completely withered, these things should not have 'energy' intake, how did they survive?"
Qin Shaoheng is not a scientific researcher, and he has no way to give an answer, but he still guessed: "I guess it should have an activity similar to 'photosynthesis'. But this 'photosynthesis' is different from the conventional one, and it should prefer Moonlight... or the temperature changes in the middle of the night can also bring a certain amount of water vapor, this thing is so small, maybe the water vapor is enough for it to survive."
Qiao Nan nodded slightly, Qin Shaoheng's guess was very reasonable.
After pulling out a few more barks, the pair found that the fungus had probably covered the entire tree.
Qin Shaoheng put a piece of bark with tiny red fungus on the ground, and said to Qiao Nan: "Most fungi need a humid environment to grow. This thing can survive drought. Do you think it will not grow?" It likes an environment that is too humid, or...is it afraid of water?"
Qiao Nan shook his head: "Animals and plants infected by viruses are very weird, but we can try..."
Speaking of which, it took out a plastic water bottle, poured a little water on the bottle cap, and then began to drip the water inside on the bark.
Without knowing what would happen, both of them were ready to retreat at any time.
Fortunately, the location where the two are located is cool, otherwise the water droplets may be evaporated immediately.
The tiny fungi seemed to swell slightly when they encountered water droplets, but they did not burst open like the ones photographed at night, but gradually dissolved in the water.
Qin Shaoheng's preliminary guess is correct, but whether these dissolved fungi will germinate, the two of them have no way of knowing.
The two then went to look at the corpses. Almost all the corpses showed obvious separation of skin and flesh.However, Qiao Nan cut their skins, but did not find the tiny red fungus.It seems that these tiny red fungi can only be seen in dry trees.
It seems that the only option is to take the things back and wait for the answers from the animal and plant authorities.
The two walked through the woods when four giant bees approached.
Only then did Qin Shaoheng realize that the four little things didn't seem to like to get close to those withered trees.
Communicated with them with spiritual thinking, although the little things couldn't explain why they hated those dry trees, but they clearly told Qin Shaoheng that those trees would emit some smells they didn't like.
Listening to Qin Shaoheng's explanation, Qiao Nan raised his eyebrows slightly. It seems that evolved species are far more sensitive to danger than they thought.
If the two had noticed the reaction of the four giant bees to the dry forest yesterday, they might not have been paralyzed by those tiny red fungi.
Qin Shaoheng told the four giant bees that if they find something they don't like in the future, they should communicate with him immediately, and the four little bees happily agreed.
Just as Qiao Nan and the two were about to leave with their things on their backs, the 'Long-distance Monitoring Aircraft' issued a reminder that seven people were being chased towards them by two ferocious berserk beasts.
The two will not deliberately look for berserk beasts to kill along the way, because there are too many berserk creatures in the post-apocalyptic world, and they have no tendency to masochistic.Not to mention seeing that humans are in danger, they will rush to rescue them.
No matter how good the two people's kung fu is, they are only two people after all, and they cannot bear the burden of recruiting human beings.But now that they have met, the two of them feel that they still have the strength to spare, so it's no big deal to rescue them.
Qin Shaoheng adjusted his surveillance glasses and clearly saw seven people running away at a rapid pace.The two monsters that pursued them were a giant ape and a huge and strange amphibious creature.
The two guys would give each other a few claws from time to time in the process of chasing them, which is also the key to their ability to escape all the way without being completely killed.
Qin Shaoheng adjusted the picture he saw, and pulled the camera to the giant ape.He said to Qiao Nan who was beside him: "I'm afraid it's a little troublesome... This giant ape should be a human after 'beastization', but I don't know why he survived."
Qiao Nan looked at the main monitoring screen of the tablet in his hand, and after zooming in on the mirror, the clothing remnants on the giant ape were captured, and the dangerous situation given by the reminder was 'ultra-dangerous creature'.
Both of them have seen the video of the last fight of the US people in the Ninth Research Institute. After the 'beastization', they are very crazy, not only causing accelerated infection to the non-mad body, but also attacking the same kind endlessly.
They all thought that these 'lycanthropists' could not survive for a long time without continuous injection of related medicines.But the monster captured by the monitor broke their fantasy.
Qin Shaoheng murmured: "If a large number of these accelerated infection 'beasts' survive, the survival of human beings will be even worse."
Qiao Nan smiled bitterly: "When I think the situation is bad enough, there will always be worse things to refresh my cognition."
Qin Shaoheng adjusted the monitoring glasses, so that the 'long-distance flight monitor' was in the automatic patrol state.Put it on your head, it looks like a slightly larger ordinary sunglasses.
Qiao Nan also put away the flat-panel monitor, and the two quickened their pace in the direction that the seven people were running towards.
In less than half a minute, the two saw seven people running towards them in the distance.
Naturally, they also saw the two people walking towards each other, and someone yelled at them: "Run away, there are monsters."
Qin Shaoheng saw that the seven people didn't deliberately lure the monster over, so he reminded them at the first time, so they had a good impression.
The two running at the back seemed to be protecting each other, and one of them was obviously dragging the other to run.And the person being dragged by it kept throwing something backward.
Qiao Nan's eyesight was superhuman, and he could clearly see that the plant seeds were thrown out.Under the urging of the man, the seeds quickly turned into vines, trying their best to block the two chasing monsters.
The two people running ahead would also turn around and attack from time to time, trying to buy more time for their companions and themselves.
It's just that their attacks are more like scratching an itch to monsters than running with all their might.There is a limit to the use of abilities by all ability users, and the consumption of abilities will also cause a loss of physical energy.If this continues, they will definitely be overtaken by monsters, and they may not even have the energy to fight back.
The people who ran at the front saw Qin Shaoheng and the two stopped unexpectedly, thinking that they were frightened by the monster behind them.Anxiously shouted: "Run, why are you in a daze."
However, Qiao Nan found that the person looked familiar, and he turned out to be a good friend of himself in the "Illusion of the End of the World".Qiao Nan nodded kindly to the man, and danced the triangular thorn in his hand casually, his eyes were fixed on the giant ape behind him.
He casually said to Qin Shaoheng: "That guy who looks like a crocodile looks rough and thick, I leave it to you. I'll try this bald 'gorilla' first..."
Qin Shaoheng was amused by Qiao Nan's words, but his eyes were fixed on the crocodile-like monster.Quickly thinking about the tactics to deal with, but said in his mouth: "Why do I have to deal with a guy with 'rough skin and thick flesh'..."
Qiao Nan didn't give him an answer, he stomped on the ground hard, and the figure jumped towards the giant ape after a few vertical leaps.
The mouth of the man running in the front had already opened into an O shape. These two guys were not petrified at all, they were simply frightened and wanted to die.
Before the virus broke out on a large scale, people would say, 'No matter how skilled you are, you are afraid of kitchen knives'.But after the outbreak of the virus, it was "No matter how good the kitchen knife dance is, no matter how accurate the gun is, it can't resist the monster's claws."
He knew very well in his heart that the two people who took the initiative to seek death would slow down the monster's pace. As long as his group ran with all their strength when the monster was eating them, they might be able to save their lives.
And the only thing he should do now is to run with all his strength and pray that the monster will eat slower, instead of...stopping.
After running another twenty meters, the leading man gritted his teeth and stopped running abruptly.He, Deng Chaoqun, is a friend because of his sense of loyalty, even if the world is in chaos, he can still fight for a piece of the world to survive.
Those two obviously wanted to help them deal with the monsters. If Deng Chaoqun escaped today, his sense of guilt would follow him all the way.
In today's chaotic world, people will die at any time, but it is just a life.But he didn't want to feel guilty when he was about to die.
The person immediately behind Deng Chaoqun cursed and stopped, but the three people behind them just glanced at them and ran away quickly.
Seeing him stop, Deng Chaoqun said anxiously: "Run, why stop..."
When the last two saw them stop, they also stopped.
A sweaty young man looked at the three people who were walking away, and cursed: "Things without loyalty..."
Seeing that they all stopped, Deng Chaoqun said anxiously: "If you are a hero, let me go quickly."
As he said that, he went to push the three remaining youths: "This is not the time to be righteous, let's go!"
The three of them didn't leave, but the man who followed him smiled instead: "We brothers can die together, there is nothing to regret... Anyway, there is a shortage of food in the base, so it's better to die like a man than starve to death." .”
The young man who just threw the plant seeds hurriedly interrupted them, shouting: "Look behind, these two are too fierce..."
Reminded by him, the three of Deng Chaoqun looked back together.
Qiao Nan had already fought with the giant ape, and the giant ape kept roaring angrily.
Originally, the giant ape was a little excited when he saw the escaped things delivered to his door.He slapped Qiao Nan who was rushing forward, but Qiao Nan turned slightly in the air and easily avoided the great ape's blow.
When the tiptoe was about to pass over the giant ape's body, it hooked the neck of the giant ape, turned around deftly, and stabbed fiercely at one temple of the giant ape with the triangular thorn in his left hand.
Although the giant ape looks huge, its movements are not clumsy at all.Seeing that the slap hit the air, it felt that there was danger above its head, so it hurriedly raised its hand to block it.
Looking at the physique of the great ape, Qiao Nan knew that it was definitely a strong man, so naturally he would not confront it head-on.He tapped his foot on the back of the great ape, dodging his fist and stretching out to grab his big palm again.The three-edged thorn was flipped under the rib of the giant ape, and stabbed down roughly at the position of Zhangmen acupoint.
Although this 'beast-like' guy is also a berserk species, Qiao Nan feels that it is more like a new species between a berserk body and an evolutionary body.So during the battle, Qiao Nan wanted to see if attacking its non-brain vitals could reduce its combat power.
The giant ape was injured, and immediately let out an angry roar, and stopped chasing and chasing other prey, and smashed Qiao Nan with two huge fists.
Qiao Nan's body was close to the giant ape to dodge, and from time to time he poked the giant ape with a triangular thorn.The giant ape's anger became more and more frenzied, and the fists that danced were filled with the sound of a strong wind.
It's a pity that after smashing and beating wildly, he didn't scratch Qiao Nan's clothes, but he was beaten several times instead.
The situation on Qin Shaoheng's side was very strange. The crocodile-like creature did not attack Qin Shaoheng, and one man and one beast stared at each other motionlessly.
Deng Chaoqun scratched his head, and swears in a low voice: "Damn, it's not about fighting for internal strength!"
It's just that the house they lived in was in chaos, and the big bed they lived in was even smashed.Fortunately, Qiao Nan threw the package into the space when he fell asleep, and now they were worried about the jujube saplings and the analog monitoring glasses that were thrown away to nowhere.
The jujube sapling was put down by Qiao Nan in the small compartment. Although the door there was also damaged, it was obvious that the monster was huge and there were no living things inside, so even if the outside of the compartment was severely damaged, the innermost Jujube saplings escaped unharmed.
However, due to the absence of the adapted temperature and soil, the few saplings were a little listless.At this time, Qiao Nan no longer hesitated, and directly sent some mysterious energy to the jujube sapling, and the sapling obviously improved.
Qin Shaoheng rummaged through a pile of sawdust and broken furniture for the simulated monitoring glasses.

Although the monitoring screen can also be manually operated to 'remote monitor the aircraft', the effect and convenience cannot be compared with the analog monitoring glasses.
It's a pity that Qin Shaoheng rummaged through the pile of sawdust, but found nothing; he finally found it among the 'debris' piled up by a giant bee in the corner.
Qin Shaoheng encouraged the little thing, checked the simulated glasses and found no damage.Although I don't know how it encountered water and fire, but compared with the broken and slag-covered furniture on the ground, at least the degree of sturdiness is absolutely passable.
Qiao Nan looked at the pile of so-called 'debris' in the corner, and suspected that they were actually a badly damaged bedside table.
After the destruction by the monsters, there is not even a place to sit in the room.Qiao Nan and the others first dismantled some micro-devices installed inside and outside the room, and then found a place to stay in this residential building.

The picture was adjusted again, and the small red flowers that were seen at first were enlarged again and again.It was only then that the two discovered that it was not a small red flower at all, but an unusually small mushroom.They grow rapidly from dry, cracked bark, then swell and eventually burst with smoke.
And the smoke isn't really smoke, it's their tiny seeds.Through this method, they spit out the seeds and attach them to the surfaces of other non-mutated organisms.

Qiao Nan sighed: "Why don't we collect some samples and go back to see what Dean Ni and the others can do."
Qin Shaoheng nodded, that's all he can do now.
Qiao Nan tried to collect both the giant bee and the sapling into the 'Mirror Flower Pond', which would make it easier for the two to move.However, he failed after two attempts. He suspected that it was the stone—the Venerable Huangliang who was playing tricks, but the old monster insisted that it was Qiao Nan's own problem.
The reason why Qin Shaoheng and the four giant bees were brought in was because the crisis at that time stimulated Qiao Nan's potential.In the absence of a crisis, unless Qiao Nan's cultivation reached a certain level, it would be difficult to enter the 'Mirror Flower Pool' in a physical state.

Qin Shaoheng adjusted his surveillance glasses and clearly saw seven people running away at a rapid pace.The two monsters that pursued them were a giant ape and a huge and strange amphibious creature.
The two guys would give each other a few claws from time to time in the process of chasing them, which is also the key to their ability to escape all the way without being completely killed.
Qin Shaoheng adjusted the picture he saw, and pulled the camera to the giant ape.He said to Qiao Nan who was beside him: "I'm afraid it's a little troublesome... This giant ape should be a human after 'beastization', but I don't know why he survived."
Qiao Nan looked at the main monitoring screen of the tablet in his hand, and after zooming in on the mirror, the clothing remnants on the giant ape were captured, and the dangerous situation given by the reminder was 'ultra-dangerous creature'.
Both of them have seen the video of the last fight of the US people in the Ninth Research Institute. After the 'beastization', they are very crazy, not only causing accelerated infection to the non-mad body, but also attacking the same kind endlessly.
They all thought that these 'lycanthropists' could not survive for a long time without continuous injection of related medicines.But the monster captured by the monitor broke their fantasy.
Qin Shaoheng murmured: "If a large number of these accelerated infection 'beasts' survive, the survival of human beings will be even worse."
Qiao Nan smiled bitterly: "When I think the situation is bad enough, there will always be worse things to refresh my cognition."
Qin Shaoheng adjusted the monitoring glasses, so that the 'long-distance flight monitor' was in the automatic patrol state.Put it on your head, it looks like a slightly larger ordinary sunglasses.
Qiao Nan also put away the flat-panel monitor, and the two quickened their pace in the direction that the seven people were running towards.
In less than half a minute, the two saw seven people running towards them in the distance.
Naturally, they also saw the two people walking towards each other, and someone yelled at them: "Run away, there are monsters."
Qin Shaoheng saw that the seven people didn't deliberately lure the monster over, so he reminded them at the first time, so they had a good impression.
The two running at the back seemed to be protecting each other, and one of them was obviously dragging the other to run.And the person being dragged by it kept throwing something backward.
Qiao Nan's eyesight was superhuman, and he could clearly see that the plant seeds were thrown out.Under the urging of the man, the seeds quickly turned into vines, trying their best to block the two chasing monsters.
The two people running ahead would also turn around and attack from time to time, trying to buy more time for their companions and themselves.
It's just that their attacks are more like scratching an itch to monsters than running with all their might.There is a limit to the use of abilities by all ability users, and the consumption of abilities will also cause a loss of physical energy.If this continues, they will definitely be overtaken by monsters, and they may not even have the energy to fight back.
The people who ran at the front saw Qin Shaoheng and the two stopped unexpectedly, thinking that they were frightened by the monster behind them.Anxiously shouted: "Run, why are you in a daze."
However, Qiao Nan found that the person looked familiar, and he turned out to be a good friend of himself in the "Illusion of the End of the World".Qiao Nan nodded kindly to the man, and danced the triangular thorn in his hand casually, his eyes were fixed on the giant ape behind him.
He casually said to Qin Shaoheng: "That guy who looks like a crocodile looks rough and thick, I leave it to you. I'll try this bald 'gorilla' first..."
Qin Shaoheng was amused by Qiao Nan's words, but his eyes were fixed on the crocodile-like monster.Quickly thinking about the tactics to deal with, but said in his mouth: "Why do I have to deal with a guy with 'rough skin and thick flesh'..."
Qiao Nan didn't give him an answer, he stomped on the ground hard, and the figure jumped towards the giant ape after a few vertical leaps.
The mouth of the man running in the front had already opened into an O shape. These two guys were not petrified at all, they were simply frightened and wanted to die.
Before the virus broke out on a large scale, people would say, 'No matter how skilled you are, you are afraid of kitchen knives'.But after the outbreak of the virus, it was "No matter how good the kitchen knife dance is, no matter how accurate the gun is, it can't resist the monster's claws."
He knew very well in his heart that the two people who took the initiative to seek death would slow down the monster's pace. As long as his group ran with all their strength when the monster was eating them, they might be able to save their lives.
And the only thing he should do now is to run with all his strength and pray that the monster will eat slower, instead of...stopping.
After running another twenty meters, the leading man gritted his teeth and stopped running abruptly.He, Deng Chaoqun, is a friend because of his sense of loyalty, even if the world is in chaos, he can still fight for a piece of the world to survive.
Those two obviously wanted to help them deal with the monsters. If Deng Chaoqun escaped today, his sense of guilt would follow him all the way.
In today's chaotic world, people will die at any time, but it is just a life.But he didn't want to feel guilty when he was about to die.
The person immediately behind Deng Chaoqun cursed and stopped, but the three people behind them just glanced at them and ran away quickly.
Seeing him stop, Deng Chaoqun said anxiously: "Run, why stop..."
When the last two saw them stop, they also stopped.
A sweaty young man looked at the three people who were walking away, and cursed: "Things without loyalty..."
Seeing that they all stopped, Deng Chaoqun said anxiously: "If you are a hero, let me go quickly."
As he said that, he went to push the three remaining youths: "This is not the time to be righteous, let's go!"
The three of them didn't leave, but the man who followed him smiled instead: "We brothers can die together, there is nothing to regret... Anyway, there is a shortage of food in the base, so it's better to die like a man than starve to death." .”
The young man who just threw the plant seeds hurriedly interrupted them, shouting: "Look behind, these two are too fierce..."
Reminded by him, the three of Deng Chaoqun looked back together.
Qiao Nan had already fought with the giant ape, and the giant ape kept roaring angrily.
Originally, the giant ape was a little excited when he saw the escaped things delivered to his door.He slapped Qiao Nan who was rushing forward, but Qiao Nan turned slightly in the air and easily avoided the great ape's blow.
When the tiptoe was about to pass over the giant ape's body, it hooked the neck of the giant ape, turned around deftly, and stabbed fiercely at one temple of the giant ape with the triangular thorn in his left hand.
Although the giant ape looks huge, its movements are not clumsy at all.Seeing that the slap hit the air, it felt that there was danger above its head, so it hurriedly raised its hand to block it.
Looking at the physique of the great ape, Qiao Nan knew that it was definitely a strong man, so naturally he would not confront it head-on.He tapped his foot on the back of the great ape, dodging his fist and stretching out to grab his big palm again.The three-edged thorn was flipped under the rib of the giant ape, and stabbed down roughly at the position of Zhangmen acupoint.
Although this 'beast-like' guy is also a berserk species, Qiao Nan feels that it is more like a new species between a berserk body and an evolutionary body.So during the battle, Qiao Nan wanted to see if attacking its non-brain vitals could reduce its combat power.
The giant ape was injured, and immediately let out an angry roar, and stopped chasing and chasing other prey, and smashed Qiao Nan with two huge fists.
Qiao Nan's body was close to the giant ape to dodge, and from time to time he poked the giant ape with a triangular thorn.The giant ape's anger became more and more frenzied, and the fists that danced were filled with the sound of a strong wind.
It's a pity that after smashing and beating wildly, he didn't scratch Qiao Nan's clothes, but he was beaten several times instead.
The situation on Qin Shaoheng's side was very strange. The crocodile-like creature did not attack Qin Shaoheng, and one man and one beast stared at each other motionlessly.
Deng Chaoqun scratched his head, and swears in a low voice: "Damn, it's not about fighting for internal strength!"
