[Apocalypse] Awakening of supernatural beings

Because the monster blocked the way, but in order to escape from the sky, Zhou Wen, Cai Qian and others decided to step over the ruins of the building, that is, climb over the ruins of the fallen floors, but this was a dangerous decision.The ruins overwhelmed by monsters are in danger of being trapped at any time, and they are very close to the huge monsters, if they are found, they will definitely die.

Zhou Wen and Cai Qian brought Ren Xi close to the giant mutant, and Ren Xi could see it from a distance.Then Ren Xi realized that it was not a mutant of a creature, it was a super huge plant, like the tree monster set in some game novels and movies, and it also had tentacles.

Ren Xi felt that the tentacles of this tree monster were actually its roots, and its roots spread around like living things, uprooting from the ground. No wonder Zhou Wen and the others said that this monster came out of the ground.

The tree monster moved very slowly. Ren Xi found that it was actually moving forward slowly, but it only moved a few meters after walking for a long time, but its roots and tentacles were very flexible and moved around. These tentacles It protruded into the surrounding collapsed buildings, or got into the ground at will.

Zhou Wen also saw the monster, and he said to Ren Xi, "The monster is searching for prey."

"prey?"

"It's very hungry." Cai Qian also whispered next to him, "Those tentacles have mouths, and if they are found, they can swallow you whole in one bite, just like a snake devouring its prey, without chewing."

"That's how our captain was swallowed up, in order to save the idiot next to me." Cai Qian continued, and glanced at Zhou Wen; Zhou Wen didn't speak, and became silent.

Ren Xi felt that there might be some conflict between these two people. Although they were the only two remaining soldiers in this poor rescue team, their relationship was not good.But this has nothing to do with Ren Xi, as long as Ren Xi finds a way to escape this dead city with them.

The three stood in a hidden place and looked around the surrounding terrain. They had to find the ruins of a building that looked easier to climb. They could avoid the tentacles of the giant dryad and bypass the dryad monster safely. Then climb up the towering Huaxing Building behind the monster, and wait for the rescue of the helicopter on the top floor of the building.

Cai Qian may have been an observer or scout. He took down the binoculars on his gun, looked around with the binoculars, and led Ren Xi and Zhou Wen to choose a route and move forward slowly. They approached that place. It was a huge tree monster. Because the distance was closer, Ren Xi could clearly see the monster's body and head.

The monster is a human tree, its branches are its hands, and the countless roots and tentacles spreading underneath are its feet, but those tentacles are too disobedient, and every time it advances a certain distance, it will burrow around and poke on the ground. There are countless holes, the ground of the entire street is sunken in a large area, and there are countless cracks on the road.

The monster has a huge old man's face, which is the kind of uneven, brown face of a tree. There are many green leaves and huge red flowers on the top of its head. If you look closely, you will find that it is a piranha. It opens and closes, like some kind of baby bird, waiting for its parents to feed it with its mouth open.

Ren Xi really found it incredible. He found that this plant mutant was almost full of mouths, with tentacles and heads, not to mention the even more terrifying giant bloody mouth on its face.

How many people does it take to grow so huge?

Cai Qian finally chose the escape route. He pointed to the ruins of a lower floor not far away, and said to Ren Xi and Zhou Wen, "Just over there, it's far enough away from that monster, and even if Ren Xi, your weak physique can easily climb up."

Ren Xi was a little speechless, but he had nothing to refute.Ren Xi found that even if he became a supernatural person, his physical strength was still very weak, and he might even be a little weaker than ordinary people. Ren Xi's strength was all reflected in his extraordinary supernatural ability.But this ability does not make Ren Xi a martial arts master in an instant.

So Ren Xi had no choice but to obediently follow the two soldiers and began to climb up the ruins of the fallen building. This building seemed to be a relatively short building before. They climbed up along the water pipes and the outside window railings.Ren Xi was the last one, halfway through.While climbing, Ren Xi seemed to hear something. He couldn't help but look down, and saw a very, very thick tentacle spreading along the fallen ground like a snake.

The tentacle is very thick, the thickness of a bucket, and it is covered with strange and disgusting mucus. The tip of the tentacle does have a mouth as Cai Qian said. The mouth of a crocodile is very large and wide open, exposing the densely packed teeth in the mouth. The teeth are not big or long, but they are all like thumbtacks scattered all over the ground. It is estimated that the bite is painful.

These tentacles have no molars, so they really can't chew food. They may use these strange teeth to incapacitate their prey in pain, and then swallow them whole and digest them.

Looking at the tentacles below, Ren Xi couldn't help swallowing in fear. He raised his head and poked Zhou Wen who was crawling in front of him. He lowered his voice as much as possible, and said, "We have a tentacle below us, what should we do?"

Zhou Wen glanced down at the first time when he heard the words, and then he also poked Cai Qian on the top. The two communicated in a low voice for a while, Zhou Wen turned around and continued to whisper to Ren Xi: "Don't make a sound, crawl slowly!" .”

After that, several people took their actions lightly and continued to climb the ruined buildings cautiously. The tentacles below might not have spotted them. Ren Xi didn't quite understand what kind of sensory abilities this monster relied on to search for its prey. There are no eyes, noses or anything seen from the tentacles, they just have a mouth.

Having said that, Ren Xi thought of the many mutants he had encountered, and his impression of them was almost always the bloody mouth.

The soldiers have good mobility, easily and without making any noise. Zhou Wen took extra care of Ren Xi. Every time he climbed to a platform, he would reach out to pull Ren Xi up from below. The tentacles below were still wandering. However, Ren Xi and the others have not been found.

They successfully climbed to the top of the building, ducking down to avoid the sight of the giant tree monster not far away. The tree monster has eyes, but Ren Xi doesn't know if it has eyesight.

The journey went smoothly, Cai Qian's investigative ability can be seen, every time he was able to detect the movement in front of him in advance, and then led Ren Xi and others around without saying a word, although it took a lot of time, but if this continues, they still He was able to reach the Huaxing Building smoothly before the helicopter left.

"The plane is coming!" The Huaxing Building was close in front of us. At this time, Cai Qian had already seen the helicopter hovering in the sky with sharp eyes. Its wings made a loud rumbling sound, which caused a huge noise not far away. Tree monster's attention.The tree monster soon saw the helicopter flying high in the sky, and it made a strange piercing sound, which could almost penetrate the eardrum!After screaming, the tree monster moved towards Huaxing Building.

"Hurry up!" Cai Qian looked at the monster's actions and realized that his group would soon be spotted by the monster's tentacles spreading over. This was not a fun thing, and urged Zhou Wen and Ren Xi to leave quickly.

"Hurry up, the monster's destructive power is enough to knock down the entire Huaxing Building. If we don't climb to the top floor to get on the plane before then, we will never get up." Zhou Wen also pulled Ren Xi to run forward desperately. I was too lazy to continue to investigate whether there were other ghosts and ghosts around, so I rushed forward towards the gate of Huaxing Building, which was more than 20 floors high by visual inspection.

"Do we have to climb the stairs?!"

Ren Xi felt a little weak looking at the height, but the two soldiers in front did not hesitate at all. Zhou Wen turned to Ren Xi and said, "If there is still electricity, maybe we can take the elevator, but it's best not to do this. interrupt, and we'll be stuck in the elevator."

Several people entered the door of Huaxing Building and went straight to the stairs of the safe passage. The building did not have electricity, and the lights were dimmed. They had to climb the stairs non-stop.

Ren Xi's body temperature is very low, which means that his body's heat consumption is also very low, and his metabolism is also lower than ordinary people. He is not suitable for strenuous exercise, because of the low temperature, he does not have much heat to consume. He is like that Like a kind of 'temperature-changing animal', it can also be called a 'cold-blooded animal'.

Just because the previous running and climbing almost consumed most of Ren Xi's physical energy, so he ran slower and slower, and climbed the stairs slowly. Zhou Wen couldn't stand it anymore, and actually handed over all the heavy weapons on his body to After leaving Cai Qian, he went into battle directly behind Ren Xi's back.

This made Ren Xi blush with embarrassment. He is still a big man, and he has to be carried forward. He couldn't help saying: "I'm sorry, I'm so useless."

Zhou Wen didn't think much about it, and said, "It's okay, you're a sick patient... Besides, you don't have much weight at all."

It was only when Zhou Wen carried Ren Xi on his back that he was terribly light, and the weight was not much different from the feeling of carrying a heavy gun before.However, he was still sweating profusely after reciting for a long time, but he felt that Ren Xi's temperature was too low, as if he was carrying a huge ice cube on his back.

They climbed more than ten floors and felt bad. The whole Huaxing Building was trembling slightly, and the floors were shaking. Cai Qian in front looked down through the gap of the stairs, and said with a heavy face: "Damn, those Tentacles are climbing up, let's go quickly!"

Being carried forward by Zhou Wen for a while, Ren Xi felt that he had regained a lot of physical strength, so he said to Zhou Wen: "Put me down, I can climb by myself."

Zhou Wen didn't hold back either, and simply put Ren Xi down, took the gun from Cai Qian, and the three of them continued to climb the stairs.

Ren Xi intentionally walked last, and he pressed his hand on the handrail of the stairs, letting the ice spread down the handrail, hoping to slow down the movement of some tentacles.Those tentacles are different from the mutated dogs, they are very flexible. When climbing the ruins before, Ren Xi left some layers of ice there, trying to see if he could freeze them, but the feeling of frost passed on to Ren Xi was not. It is impossible.

The ice can only freeze a small part of the tentacles, and more power can be transmitted from their roots to free the tentacles from the ice. Ren Xi does not dare to freeze these tentacles on a large scale, because it may cause the giant tree monster to freeze. attention.

The top floor of the Huaxing Building was already close at hand, only a few floors away, but the tentacles below still caught up.Cai Qian couldn't wait to run to the front. He didn't seem to want to take care of his companion Zhou Wen, let alone Ren Xi. His willingness to explore the way and take Zhou Wen with him seemed to be showing mercy.

When the tentacles climbed up ferociously, Zhou Wen looked at Ren Xi helplessly. He stopped Cai Qian in front and said loudly to him: "Take him and go first! I'll come to the queen!"

After Zhou Wen finished speaking, he pushed Ren Xi who was beside him, and turned around with his gun in his hand, looking at the series of huge tentacles climbing up the stairs behind him, as if he was ready to die.

Cai Qian didn't refuse either. He stretched out his hand to grab Ren Xi and pulled him very forcefully to continue walking. The doorway on the top floor was shining brightly, almost right in front of their eyes, but Ren Xi turned his head and glanced at Zhou Wen behind him with anxiety. , he said to Cai Qian: "Just let him here alone?"

Cai Qian could only sneer: "It doesn't matter if he dies, his life was originally given by the captain."

"But he is your companion!" Ren Xi couldn't believe it, he lost his voice, his tone was trembling, "You were born to die! Are you just watching him die like this?"

Cai Qian glanced at Ren Xi, his eyes glowed fiercely, Ren Xi only saw coldness and cruelty in his eyes, as if he didn't care about his companion's life or death at all, Cai Qian said: "He is for you, those The monster has already caught up, we must have someone to stop here, otherwise with the speed and strength of those tentacles, we will all die here—I don’t want to die, so let him die.”

Is this world really so cruel! ?Ren Xi doesn't understand, you can say that he is weak and ridiculous, but he doesn't want to believe that everyone will be like Cai Qian, even if a good partner who was born and died is about to die in front of him, he can still say it without changing his face. : let him die!Ren Xi can't do this!He felt like he would never be able to do it!

Zhou Wen over there has already started shooting at the giant tentacles spreading over. In fact, the effect is not great at all. The tentacles may not have strong defense, but even if they are cut into pieces, they can still move. It can even be regenerated.

Cai Qian here couldn't resist pulling Ren Xi's arm and dragging him forward. Ren Xi gritted his teeth. He didn't want to be a hero. Powerful, but in front of these experienced fighters, he is still a rookie.

But it is undeniable that Ren Xi knows that he is capable. He knows that his ability is very strong, but why should he be afraid or shrink back?Why not take up this responsibility! ?Why shy away from danger! ?

This world has become like this, even if he can escape now, Ren Xi may still encounter countless such things in the future, facing the choice of life and death, weak human beings will only choose to protect themselves, Because no one wants to die, everyone wants to survive!

But are you going to be that kind of weak person?

He obviously has power, but he still chooses to be a coward, hiding in his poor protective cover, refusing to face all challenges and threats like a real man.Such a person will never become stronger, but will always be weak!

Ren Xi suddenly forcibly shook off Cai Qian's hand, and before Cai Qian was surprised, he turned and walked down the stairs.He heard that Zhou Wen at the bottom of the stairs was still shooting, and when the bullets ran out, he would probably be dead.

Cai Qian, who was pushed away by Ren Xi, was stunned for a moment, and he first said angrily: "You can die as you please!"

But after climbing up two flights of stairs, Cai Qian kicked the wall angrily again, and the entire Huaxing Building trembled. The building was already in danger under the devastation of the tree monster.

Unexpectedly, Cai Qian was still not at ease in the end, he turned around and followed Ren Xi down.
