After Ning Zhe issued the retreat order, the three of them began to evacuate to the rear, preparing to rendezvous with the large army and withdraw from this strange thorn forest.

In the violent state, Ning Zhe's senses were very sharp and he was always paying close attention to the footsteps of the two people around him.

He retreated about three meters, and suddenly heard one less footsteps beside him, and immediately turned around.

It was a false alarm, Ren Jiao and the soldier were behind him.

Seeing Ning Zhe turn around, Ren Jiao thought he had discovered something and pointed the flashlight in the direction of Ning Zhe's sight.

Then, both of them were stunned.

In the peripheral vision, the soldier stood straight on the spot, his head was swollen greatly, his cheeks were bruised, he had no breath, and his body was wrapped with countless thorns.

"brush!"

The next second, the thorns wrapping the soldier suddenly shrank, dragging his body back.

"Bang bang bang!"

Ning Zhe saw other vines coming towards him and immediately raised his gun to shoot. Several bullets accurately hit the incoming vines.

"Da da da!"

Seeing this, Ren Jiao also started to shoot with her gun. With the accuracy provided by the exoskeleton, the two began to suppress these vines.

A few dozen meters away, Shangguan Xiaohu heard a gunshot in front of him. He didn't care to remain silent and shouted loudly: "Brother, what happened to you over there?"

Ning Zhe kept shooting at the swaying vines around him, while shouting behind him: "The plants here are aggressive! Use a flamethrower to deal with them!"

"call--"

After listening to Ning Zhe's words, the soldiers at the back began to use flamethrowers to spray the surrounding plants. As biologists said, the plants here are not fire-resistant. Although they have poor burning properties, after being sprayed by flames, they all

It broke like soot and turned into ashes all over the ground.

Shangguan Xiaohu picked up a portable flamethrower and began to move towards Ning Zhe. At the same time, he used flames to sweep through the jungle around Ning Zhe, covering Ning Zhe's retreat.

As the flames surged, Ning Zhe discovered that some vines would actually shrink back when facing the flames. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Why do these plants move? And they also hunt?"

"It's normal for plants to move. Plants such as sunflowers and mimosa will perform some simple actions. As for hunting, I suspect that this should be a carnivorous plant similar to the Venus flytrap. Just when they moved, maybe

It’s because of the fear of heat sources! But whether this plant survives here is due to evolution or radiation, we don’t know.”

After the physicist answered Ning Zhe's question, he glanced at the radiation meter in his hand and said, "In the area where we are, the radiation exceeds the standard in most places. Only here it barely fluctuates around the threshold, so I

It is recommended that we continue on this path and open a passage based on the fire-fearing characteristics of these plants."

Ning Zhe took off the safety pin of a high-explosive grenade and held it in his hand, and said to everyone: "Everyone, pay attention to the formation. Soldiers with flamethrowers are opening the way in front, and one flamethrower is left on each side of the wings and back for defense.

!The plants here are highly poisonous. Once attacked, they will be poisoned and die in a very short period of time. We don’t know what circumstances will trigger them to hunt, but everyone must reduce contact with these plants!”

At this time, most of the soldiers did not have the experience of being attacked by plants like Ning Zhe and others. After hearing this order, all of them were a little confused, but they still cheered up when it came to a life-and-death choice.

In this way, the team changed from exploring and marching to using flamethrowers to clear the way. After everyone walked a few dozen meters, the biologist in the team suddenly stopped and shined a flashlight on a tree in the distance.

When Ning Zhe saw this, he glanced at him: "Doctor, is there something wrong?"

The botanist nodded: "I originally thought that the trees here were all dry stumps, but judging from the current situation, the situation seems to be different from what I thought. I have to go and take a look."

Lin Bao looked at the dense thorns around him and advised: "What's so good about a tree? This place is so evil, leave as soon as possible to ensure safety!"

"We entered the misty forest to find out the details of this place. Since the doctor wants to see it, let's go and have a look."

Ning Zhe made a gesture, and the surrounding soldiers began to move in that direction while maintaining battle formation.

After the soldiers used a flamethrower to clear away the thorns around the tree trunk, Ning Zhe stepped forward and saw several bullet holes in the tree that were flowing liquid, and asked the biologist: "Is this the purpose of your coming here?

?”

"That's right, these tree stumps don't even have bark. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be alive. Moreover, it spilled so much liquid after being injured. This is unreasonable." As the biologist spoke, he had already opened his pocket book.

After putting on gloves and taking out a saw from the medical kit he carried, he said, "Since the plants just now are poisonous, these liquids may also be toxic to a certain extent. Everyone, get out of the way and don't get splashed. Someone come and help me."

"

"I'll do it!"

Shangguan Xiaohu glanced at the slender saw blade in the doctor's hand, pulled out a tomahawk directly behind him, and waved to the others: "You all make room!"

"Buzz!"

As everyone moved aside, Shangguan Xiaohu swung the ax in his hand from the side.

“Bang bang bang!”

Shangguan Xiaohu swung his ax down, and a big hole was cut out of the tree stump in front of him. Red blood like fresh blood began to spray out from the place where the ax hit, and there was also a strong fishy smell.

Zhang Fang looked at the trees that spurted blood, his eyebrows twisted into a knot: "Isn't this too weird? Is this a tree? Or a bucket? How can there be so much blood in it?"

As the blood inside the trunk dried up, Ning Zhe also followed the biologist, preparing to find out.

When the light of the flashlight shined into the tree hole, Lin Xun saw the metal exoskeleton inside, as well as the skeleton that had rotted inside, with only some carrion remaining on the white bones. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Isn't this corpse the one we just disappeared?

soldiers?"

"How is this possible?" The biologist saw the scene in front of him, carefully checked inside the tree hole with a flashlight, and then checked around the outside again, murmuring as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime: "What's going on here?"
