The last building on earth

Chapter 43 The World of Tree Roots

Wang Xuan said nothing and changed direction again.

This time he chose to pass between the row of vehicles on the right, and the metal tentacles slowly extended from the skin of his right hand.

He knew in his heart that there were some terrible changes happening around him, and danger could come at any time.

Everyone followed him closely, feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere and feeling uneasy.

Gu Manyao, Zhao Lei and Zhang Haofei had solemn expressions on their faces.

Tie Jun was carrying a backpack, holding a curved blade, and his muscles were tense, ready to fight at any time. He knew that Director Fatty and Xu Mengyun had poor adaptability, so he took the initiative to fall behind them slightly to make them relatively safe, while he turned his head from time to time. Check the situation later.

He did not carry the backpack in his hands like Wang Xuan because he was at the rear of the team. If he was attacked from behind, the backpack filled with food might be able to withstand some of the attacks for him.

The fat director gasped slightly, holding the curved blade in front of his chest to protect it, and there was sweat on his forehead.

Years of drinking, sex, and wealth have long emptied his body. Although he has now obtained a white scale, it cannot fully restore the energy that his body has lost over the years. It can be said that his current physical fitness is the weakest among everyone, even Xu Mengyun is not as good as this. After being on the road for a while, he felt that his body was a little overwhelmed.

Xu Mengyun walked side by side with him, her eyes filled with fear and unwillingness.

She comes from an ordinary working-class family and is not wealthy. She suffered so much and made so many sacrifices before. Now she has finally become a top Internet celebrity. She hasn't started to enjoy life yet, but she is stuck in this... In a hellish world.

She was unwilling to die here without enjoying it.

She still has so much money that she has not spent, but it was all earned through her hard work.

"None of this is true. There can't be monsters in this world, let alone such ridiculous things. Yes, I must be having a long, long dream. I am in a dream... This is a dream. , this is all a dream..."

Xu Mengyun kept comforting herself in her heart, hoping that she would suddenly wake up from her dream, and when she opened her eyes, she would find herself lying on the luxurious bed, with her ragdoll cat nestled next to her.

But the reality was that she never woke up from this dream. She could only be forced to follow the crowd, carrying a heavy backpack, and kept moving forward at a faster pace.

Wang Xuan, who took the lead, stopped again. A row of vehicles appeared in front of him. Many of the vehicles were pierced by tree roots. These tree roots extended from the windows, roofs and surroundings of these vehicles.

They had just changed several directions in succession, but no matter where they went, they saw more and more tree roots, and they seemed to be slowly surrounded by these tree roots.

"What on earth are these? Are they monsters or tree roots? Damn beasts, are you targeting us? I can't stand it anymore!" Zhang Haofei finally couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes widened, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly, faintly Showing a ferocious look.

Zhao Lei said slowly: "They say they are monsters, but they don't attack us, and we don't see them move. They say they are tree roots, but what kind of tree roots can penetrate load-bearing columns and these cars, and there are more and more of them. What exactly are these?" How did you do it? Wang Xuan, do you think we are hallucinating? Or are we dreaming? "

When Wang Xuan heard what Zhao Lei said, he glanced at him standing to his left. Suddenly, his heart moved. He put down the backpack he was carrying in his left hand, pinched the soft flesh around his waist, and twisted it to the left.

He remembered reading a book before, which said that if you are in a dream, you cannot feel pain, and if you are hallucinating, you can pinch yourself to cause severe pain, and use this pain to relieve the hallucination.

Zhao Lei suddenly let out a scream, which startled Gu Manyao, Zhang Haofei and Tie Jun. They thought he had been attacked, so they all jumped away and distanced themselves from Zhao Lei.

But looking at Zhao Lei again, I saw him covering his right waist with a distorted expression, but no monster could be seen.

"Wang Xuan, what are you doing?" Zhao Lei gasped, with a look of shock and anger on his face.

Wang Xuan looked at him with a solemn expression and said solemnly: "You just mentioned hallucinations and dreams. I think it makes sense, so I pinched the flesh to see if I could feel pain."

Zhao Lei said angrily: "Then you pinch yourself. Why are you pinching me?"

"You can't be cruel if you pinch yourself."

"Damn!" Zhao Lei could no longer maintain his usual polite appearance and cursed.

Gu Manyao and Zhang Haofei looked at each other, and then they realized why Zhao Lei suddenly screamed. It seemed that Wang Xuan was very cruel.

This small episode relieved the original tense atmosphere slightly, and everyone was no longer as nervous as at the beginning.

Wang Xuan reached out and patted Zhao Lei's shoulder lightly and said: "At least now we can be sure that everything we saw is real and will not be a dream or hallucination. Since no matter which direction we choose, more and more people will appear. Tree roots, then there is no choice, let’s go, let’s see what these roots are really like.”

"Yes, since we can't escape, then let's go up and fuck him with real swords and guns. Damn it, I just don't believe it. We will be frightened by these immovable tree roots." Zhang Haofei said fiercely, but The more vicious he is, the more it represents his inner guilt. He says these cruel words just to embolden himself.

Wang Xuan stopped escaping and took the lead to walk forward. The metal tentacle on his right hand was like a flexible snake, swaying slightly. As long as something went wrong, it could be shot out instantly to attack.

Everyone was on guard, following Wang Xuan and moving forward slowly.

Soon Wang Xuan walked to a car.

The car was pierced by seven or eight tree roots. These tree roots extended from all sides of the car, looking indescribably weird.

When they got closer, everyone looked carefully. They looked like ordinary tree roots, and they didn't look anything like monsters.

"Would you like to cut one off and try to see what it is?" Zhang Haofei was a bit inexperienced and couldn't help but suggest.

Zhao Lei immediately said: "It's best not to. Although these tree roots appear strangely, we have not been attacked at present. No matter what the nature of these tree roots is, without knowing the details, we'd better not take the initiative to provoke them." .”

Wang Xuan hummed, agreed with Zhao Lei, and then carefully walked around the car in front of him.

"Everyone should try not to get close to these tree roots." Zhao Lei turned his head and reminded Xu Mengyun and Director Fatty behind him.

The fat director nodded nervously.

Wang Xuan walked around the car in front of him and found that there were more tree roots on the ground behind the car.

These tree roots are long or short, thick or thin, like strange snakes coming out of the ground. However, they have no ability to move and just fall quietly on the ground. At a glance, there are no one knows how many there are. root.

The crowd slowly moved forward, and more and more tree roots appeared around them. These roots either penetrated the giant load-bearing pillars, hung down from above, or emerged from the ground. It's like walking into a world full of tree roots.

"Oh my God -" Zhao Lei looked into the distance and suddenly cried out softly.
