The Rebirth of the Last Days and Return to [Fang] Hao

Looking at the appearance of the plant and the posture of the zombies from mid-air, it seems like this battle will last a long time. If it weren’t for the inconvenience and fear of being discovered, maybe He Zizhong and Fang Hao would consider it. Just like when they were in city A and dropped high-powered explosives from mid-air and collect all the nuclei in one spot.

The convoy detoured along a side road beside the expressway towards a national highway on the map. Although it would take longer way to go this way, it was safer than crashing into a zombie army.

The zombies on both sides of the trail noticed movement on the road, and rushed toward the convoy with excitement. Driving forward, everyone beat the occasional zombies that were too close to them, and smashed them – sadly, there’s no way to go down and pick up the crystal nuclei. They’re all wasted.

About forty minutes later, the intersection with the national highway could be seen. The convoy was about to turn the steering wheel to drive past when there was a rumbling from the ground, and a thick vine burst out! Mutated plants!!

Everyone was shocked. They quickly took out their weapons or blasted their abilities directly toward the side of the road.

One after another, the thick vines kept burrowing out of the soil beside the road, like a huge cage stalking out, slamming the convoy on the road!

He Zizhong only discovered these mutant plants after the first vine emerged. There was no way about it – the convoy was driving on the road, and this mutant plant was very stealthy. There were no signs before, they behaved like weak, small roadside plants, peeking out to perceive the movement outside. When a prey enters its net, they suddenly emerged from the ground. Who can prevent it?

“Aim at the root and blast it again.” As soon as Yin Dong’s voice fell, everyone felt that the ground was shaking again – there are still more under the ground!! “Act separately, work in pairs and don’t panic!”

Dense numbers of slender roots emerged from the ground, like a newly mowed lawn from before the apocalypse. It made people feel in awe. Their motorcade actually drove into a trap set by plants. Who could think of it?!

Black roots squirmed on the surface. A truck with a few ability users jumped out of the car when they first discovered the mutant plants. At this time, they were entangled by these dense roots!

As soon as the black roots entangled something, they would cling on, and secreted a corrosive liquid. Those people screamed as soon as they were entangled. But when they wanted to return to the vehicle, they found their movements were restricted, and it was difficult to move!

“Pull me, pull me up…” The black roots quickly grew after realizing they entangled living people, climbing up their bodies, and finally enclosing the whole person alive!

“Fire abilities! Burn the ground! Use a flamethrower! Burn the ground and hit the roots of plants!!”

Each car is equipped with various types of weapons. Those who reacted to the sound of the walkie-talkie immediately grabbed their weapons and fired frantically towards the ground. This kind of thing just continues to entangle them to death. This way of dying is worse than being bitten to death by zombies!

Fang Hao aimed a flamethrower at the ground and fired. He Zizhong used his wind and gold abilities, condensing them onto the blade in his hand, the cyan and gold growing brighter and brighter. Suddenly, the light burst out, smashing the thickest root of the plant closest to their car!

With a “bang”, the thick plant was cut off directly from the root!

The sturdy plants protruding from both sides of the road are not ordinary mutant plants with branches and roots they have seen before. The plants protruding out are just individual plants. Each one has the thickness of a telephone phone, and there is no way to tell where their roots are!

Coupled with the dense roots on the ground, He Zizhong seriously suspected that the entire ground they were on were roots of this plant!

The best way to kill this plant is to use heavy firepower and completely blast away the current section of the road. But now everyone’s cars are here, and there is no way to get out.

Machine guns and flamethrowers spit out flames fiercely towards the ground, while a series of powerful abilities, bombs, and grenades blasted the mutant plants on the roadside.

Fortunately, although everyone fell into the camouflaged trap of this mutant plant, it couldn’t hold back against the fierce firepower from the convoy.

“Boom!” There was another loud noise, and a huge vine that was more than ten meters long broke apart. It fell on the ground, lifting up muddy water and dust, and trembled on the ground three times.

“It fell!”

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”

Another huge vine fell to the ground, but the direction in which this plant fell was different. It fell straight toward the convoy!

Everyone in the direction of the falling vehicle panicked and jumped out of the car. But as soon as they touched the ground, they were entangled by the roots of the mutant plants!

The screams were continuous, and everyone was overwhelmed. There were enemies everywhere on the roadside and under the car!

Fierce flames continued to burn the ground. Finally, they felt the roots of the mutant plant retract into the soil. But the roots under the car continued to entangle the chassis and wheels. In order to prevent any problems with the car, even if everyone was willing, they didn’t dare to burn the mutant plants on the wheels.

And now the people in the car don’t dare to get out of their cars at all, for fear that they will be entangled in these roots as soon as they land!

“Everyone is divided into 2 halves. Half is responsible for remote plant vines, and half is responsible for the plant roots on the ground!” A noisy voice came from the walkie-talkie. Those with clear brains heard the message from the command vehicle, and gave out orders one after another, arranging manpower to support long-range attacks and defend respectively.

He Zizhong’s car was divided into several groups when the battle just started. Half of the left and right windows are responsible for long-range attacks, and half dealt with the roots. Now, apart from the roots under the wheels, they have cleared up 70-80% of the mutated plants around them. There are many mutant plants near other vehicles, and several armed vehicles were bombarding them with artillery fire.

“Is there a way to deal with those things under the car?” Yin Dong grabbed Guo Bing.

Guo Bing was also sweating anxiously: “Fire abilities can’t be manipulated so meticulously. If it burns accidentally, the car will be scrapped!”

“Zombie! The zombies are here! A lot!” They had just solved the mutant plants outside the car when Jiang Feng suddenly jumped up with a cry. “More than I felt on the road before!!!” Jiang Feng even discovered that more than half of these zombies came from the road just now!!

“Can they let people live!” Mengzi couldn’t help but punched the wall of the car, directly creating a big hole in the wall of the thinly walled vehicle.

“We must find a way to start the car!” Yin Dong’s forehead was also covered in cold sweat. He suddenly turned his head to look at He Zizhong. “Can your wind blade curve? It doesn’t need to be too precise, as long as it can sever the roots from the ground!”

He Zizhong reassessed, his wind power can now be operated very carefully, and his gold power may also have some effect.

“Let me try.”

Seeing He Zizhong nod, everyone’s expression relaxed. He Zizhong is the one with the highest force in the car today. If it’s something that even he can’t deal with, then everyone in the car can only wait for death.

Seeing him preparing his wind abilities, Yin Dong the turned around and picked up his walkie-talkie. “Mutated zombies are coming around. There are a lot of them.”

There was no sound on the walkie-talkie for a while, and soon Yan Xin’s voice came out: ” The convoy has no way to move now.” All the vehicles are entangled in place by the roots of mutant plants. If there are additional zombies causing troubles, they really have no choice but to wait in place.

“We are thinking of a way. I don’t know if we can…”

Before Yin Dong’s words fell, He Zizhong suddenly opened his eyes: “It’s done, the wheel near the left front wheel is cleaned up.”

There was a cheer on the car as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“We have to find a way to get away the plant in front of us.” Fang Hao suddenly pointed to a thick mutant plant in the middle of the convoy. The plant was hitting a truck not far in front of them. The car was smashed into two halves. With the plant there, even if they remove the roots of the entangling plants, they won’t be able to drive!

Although He Zizhong’s abilities can blast the path clear, no one except him can deal with the roots of the plants under the car as long as they are stuck inside. He also needs to save his mental energy.

“I’ll take care of this matter.” Yan Xin heard the cheers from the walkie-talkie, guessing the situation, and immediately arranged it.

Within half a minute, there was a “boom!” It turns out that Yan Xin directly asked the tank to adjust the muzzle, making a gap in the mutant plant that was lying on the road!

“They’re here! The fastest one is less than 100 meters away!” Jiang Feng’s voice cried out.

“Attention all units, there are a large number of zombies coming here, and it will take a while for the team to move. Everyone remain in your posts and clean up the mutant plants that can be seen with the naked eye as soon as possible. Prepare to fight!”

Speed zombies are the first to arrive. On all fours, they ran over with astonishing speed. Even the firepower net created by machine gun fire is unable to hit them. Even if there are bullets that can hit them occasionally, the damage is not enough because it is not a special bullet.

“Okay! We should be able to move.” He Zizhong breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of wind mowing is very meticulous. He was afraid that he would accidentally damage the truck everyone was riding in.

The driver hurriedly stepped on the accelerator again after hearing his voice. The car was able to drive!

 

Imagining that many thin black roots is disgusting…
