Chapter 42 Tree Roots World
Wang Xuan said nothing and changed direction again.
This time, I chose to intersperse between the row of vehicles on my right hand, and the metal tentacles slowly extended out of the skin of my right hand.
He knew in his heart that some terrible change had occurred around him, and danger could come at any time.
Everyone followed him, feeling that the atmosphere was wrong and they were worried.
Gu Manyao, Zhao Lei and Zhang Haofei showed serious expressions on their faces.
Tiejun was carrying a backpack and holding a curved blade, his muscles were tight, and he was ready to fight at any time. He knew that the fat director and Xu Mengyun had poor adaptability, so he took the initiative to fall behind them a little, making them relatively safe. He turned his head from time to time to check the situation.
He did not carry the backpack in his hand like Wang Xuan because he was behind 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 was slightly gasping, holding the bent blade tightly to protect it, and sweat appeared on his forehead.
The years of alcohol, sex and wealth have long since emptied his body. Although he has obtained a white scale, he cannot fully recover the energy he has lost in recent years. It can be said that his physical strength is the weakest among the people, even Xu Mengyun is not as good as Xu Mengyun. After rushing to the road, he felt that his body could not bear it anymore.
Xu Mengyun walked side by side with him, with fear and reluctance in her eyes.
She was born into an ordinary working family and was not rich. She suffered so much before and made so many sacrifices. Now she has finally become a top internet celebrity. She has not yet started to enjoy life, but is trapped in this hell-like world.
She was unwilling to accept that she died here before she could enjoy it.
She still has so much money to spend, but she earned it hard.
"None of these are true. There is no monster in this world, and there will be no such a ridiculous thing. Yes, I must be having a very long dream. I am in a dream... This is a dream, all of this is a dream..."
Xu Mengyun kept comforting herself in her heart, hoping that she would suddenly wake up from her dream. When she opened her eyes, she turned out to be lying on the luxurious big bed, and the one she snuggled beside her was her ragdoll cat.
But the reality is that this dream has never woken up, and she can only be forced to follow everyone, carrying a heavy backpack, and keep moving forward faster.
Wang Xuan, who was leading the way, stopped again, and a row of vehicles appeared in front of him. Many of the cars were pierced by tree roots, which extended from the windows, roofs and surroundings of these vehicles.
Just now, they changed several directions, but no matter where they went, they saw more and more roots, as if they were slowly surrounded by these roots.
"What are these? Are they monsters or tree roots? Damn beasts, are you targeting us? I can't stand it!" Zhang Haofei finally couldn't help it, his eyes wide open, his face twitched slightly, and his ferocious look faintly showed.
Zhao Lei said slowly: "I said they were monsters, but I didn't attack us, nor did I see them moving. I said they were tree roots, but what kind of tree roots could penetrate the load-bearing pillars and these cars, and there were more and more. How did these be done? Wang Xuan, do you think we were not suffering from some hallucinations? Or were we dreaming?"
When Wang Xuan heard Zhao Lei say this, he glanced at him who was standing on his left, and suddenly felt his heart moved. He put down the backpack in his left hand, pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and turned to the left and twisted it.
He remembered reading a book before, which said that if you are in a dream, you cannot feel pain. If you are hallucinated, you can produce severe pain by pinching yourself and use this pain to relieve the hallucinations.
Zhao Lei suddenly let out a scream, which scared Gu Manyao, Zhang Haofei and Tie Jun. He thought he had suffered some attack and immediately jumped away to widen the distance with Zhao Lei.
But looking at Zhao Lei again, he saw that he covered his right waist with a distorted expression, but he couldn't see any monsters.
"Wang Xuan, what are you doing?" Zhao Lei sucked in the air conditioner, with a look of shock and anger on his face.
Wang Xuan looked at him with a solemn expression and said solemnly: "You just talked about hallucinations and dreams. I think it makes sense, so I pinched my flesh and tried to see if I could feel the pain."
Zhao Lei said angrily: "Then you pinch yourself, why are you pinching me?"
"I can't pinch myself to make a ruthless move."
"Damn!" Zhao Lei could no longer maintain his usual polite appearance and sweared.
Gu Manyao, Zhang Haofei and others looked at each other, and then they realized why Zhao Lei suddenly screamed. It seemed that Wang Xuan was ruthless enough to attack.
This little episode slightly relieved the original tension, and everyone was no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning.
Wang Xuan reached out and patted Zhao Lei on the shoulder and said, "At least now, it is certain that all the things we see are real, not dreams or hallucinations. Since there will be more and more tree roots no matter which direction you choose, then there is no choice. Let's go and see what the true faces of these tree roots are."
"Yes, since we can't escape, then we'll go up and fuck him with real swords and guns. Damn, I just don't believe it. We will be scared by these unmovable tree roots." Zhang Haofei said viciously, but the more he was so vicious, the more he represented the guilt in his heart. He said these ruthless words just to give himself courage.
Wang Xuan no longer escaped and took the lead and walked forward. The metal tentacles on his right hand were like a flexible little snake, swaying slightly. As long as the situation was wrong, he could shoot out instantly to attack.
Everyone was on guard and followed Wang Xuan and moved forward slowly.
Soon Wang Xuan walked to a car.
The car was pierced by seven or eight tree roots, which extended from around the car, making it seem indescribable.
When they walked closer, everyone looked at it carefully. No matter how they looked at it, they were all ordinary tree roots, and they really couldn't see any of them looking like monsters.
"Do you want to cut off one and try what this thing is?" Zhang Haofei was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but suggest.
Zhao Lei immediately said: "It's better not to. Although these tree roots appear strangely, we have not been attacked now. No matter what the essence of these tree roots is, we'd better not provoke them without knowing the details."
Wang Xuan nodded, agreed with Zhao Lei's opinion, and then carefully bypassed the car in front of him.
"Everyone should try not to get close to these tree roots as much as possible." Zhao Lei turned his head and reminded Xu Mengyun and the fat director behind him.
The fat director nodded nervously.
Wang Xuan bypassed the car in front of him and found that behind the car, more tree roots appeared on the ground.
The roots of these trees are long and short, thick and thin, like strange snakes emerging from the ground. However, they do not have the ability to move, they just fall quietly on the ground. At a glance, they don’t know how many of them are.
Everyone slowly moved forward, and more and more tree roots appeared around them. These tree roots either penetrated through giant load-bearing pillars, fell from above, or emerged from the ground. They were like walking into a world full of tree roots.
"My God--" Zhao Lei looked into the distance and suddenly burst into tears.
