Zhou Qiangsen touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed.
If he knew how to destroy these mutant trees, he wouldn't have to watch his companions being devoured while he fled in embarrassment.
As a capable member of the special department, Zhou Qiangsen is definitely not bad in terms of ability.
But there is a problem with the members of the Action Bureau. The strange era comes so fast, and the combat modes of almost all combatants are far from keeping up.
Not many of the items trained in the Sunshine Era can be used when fighting strange creatures.
Of course, they are learning quickly and adapting quickly.
But there are many kinds of evil monsters in the strange era, and each one has its own method. Their learning speed still cannot keep up with the evolution speed of monsters.
Not to mention that he has no time to think about how to deal with those mutated trees, even if he knows that the most lethal thing in his body at the moment is a pistol, a few magic pills, and some extraordinary items.
Whether these things can be used is another question.
However, Zhou Qiangsen thought for a moment and said: "Based on various previous cases, the experts at the center also have some conclusions. However, these conclusions are still being discussed and are not particularly mature yet."
"What conclusion?"
"First, the creatures of the Earth Center Clan are difficult to kill by conventional means; second, destroying the shells controlled by the Earth Center Clan cannot kill them; third, to completely kill them, the Earth Center Clan's body must be attacked.
"
"The most important point is that the Geocentric Clan has different shapes and is good at concealing changes and is difficult to detect."
If it is a real creature, flesh and blood, even if it is difficult to kill, there is always a target.
However, the Earth Center Clan's true form is unclear, which undoubtedly makes it extremely difficult to deal with the Earth Center Clan.
To put it bluntly, according to what Zhou Qiangsen said, there is no specific standard for what the Geocentric Tribe looks like, and it is even unknown whether it is in human or animal form.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but think of the hospital where Liu Yunqian was hospitalized, and the giant blue eye, which was also the eye of the curse.
Looking back now, it is obvious that they are also from the Earth Center Clan.
It has consciousness and weird mobility, but its shape is so weird.
Jiang Yue still remembered that it was impossible to kill the giant cyan eye using conventional methods, but it seemed to be afraid of fire.
When Jiang Yue activated the Fire Talisman, he scared the giant green eyes away.
Although he failed to kill the strange source in the end, Jiang Yue was certain that if he had a reasonable layout, deployed control in advance, and surrounded the giant cyan eye with fire talismans, he could still hope to kill the thing.
Of course, the giant cyan eye is afraid of fire, but these mutant trees may not be afraid of fire.
Different earth core creatures must have different characteristics.
Seeing Jiang Yue's silence, Han Jingjing asked with a little worry: "If the door is controlled by those mutated giant trees, wouldn't we be trapped here forever? My dad also said that he might go to the official office building of Star City. Is that necessary?
Breaking in?"
"That's not necessarily true. Even if every exit is sealed, there will still be walls. If I remember correctly, those ancient trees are only at the gate, right?" Lao Sun suddenly said.
"No..." Liu Yunqian said, "Why is this area called Elm Street? It's because there are many ancient elm trees in this generation. There are really many ancient tree species in this area."
Compared to homebodies like Lao Sun, although Liu Yunqian is a foreigner, she did a lot of shopping when she took her daughter with her.
She is naturally very familiar with the bustling neighborhood of Elm Street.
There is obviously a reason why a neighborhood is named after a tree.
Jiang Yue also nodded: "You can't break in forcefully. The second mutation is still going on, and it's late at night. Your dad will definitely not leave now. If you want to leave, it will be tomorrow."
Zhou Qiangsen also nodded: "Yes, I will have to find a way to leave until dawn. Then we can all go together."
Several people looked at the increasingly bright vortex in the night sky, which lasted significantly longer than when it first changed.
This is obviously another disturbing sign.
Jiang Yue observed for a while, then waved his hand: "Let's all go back to the house and rest."
Zhou Qiangsen opened his mouth in surprise. It was actually still early at this time, just before nine o'clock in the evening.
I don't usually go to bed so early.
In this situation, it’s really hard to rest. Is it possible to still sleep?
The Daozi Lane villa is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. It is a small world of its own and is almost cut off from the outside world. Therefore, it is difficult for them to know the extent to which the outside world has changed.
I had to go into the house in silence.
Han Jingjing checked in with her parents again and followed up on the latest situation in a timely manner.
The person in charge is now the core figure of the entire Star City, and all kinds of information will eventually converge towards him.
Even so, the information available is still not enough.
One thing is certain, the outside world is going through an unprecedented hell-level test at the moment.
Compared to the tranquility of Daozi Lane, the world outside has actually changed dramatically.
The magnitude of the earthquake was far more exaggerated than when it first changed, and the accompanying evil monsters were obviously much more active.
They were no longer dispatched sporadically, but appeared one after another everywhere, and began to carry out horrific harvests on the humans in Star City.
In other words, what humans have to endure at this moment is not only natural disasters, but also to avoid attacks from evil monsters.
The coming of double nightmares made this sleepless night undoubtedly more bloody, cruel and desperate.
Han Jingjing told Jiang Yue all the information she got.
Jiang Yue's face turned pale, but there was nothing he could do.
In this situation, personal power is too insignificant, just like a drop of water in a fire, and of no use at all.
"Is there any news about Yangfan Middle School?" Jiang Yue's concern was more practical.
"Not yet." Han Jingjing shook her head.
Lao Sun said worriedly: "In this situation, I'm worried that the dilapidated building in my house won't be able to withstand the trouble. The house is small, and I'm worried about Tong Di, Zhong Leyi and the others..."
"If anyone at Yangfan Middle School can carry it through, I believe it must be Tong Feifei and the others." Jiang Yue was very confident in this point.
There is a reason why Tong Feifei refuses to leave Yangfan Middle School.
Because Yangfan Middle School is his home field, he may not have many connections there, but he has the means to communicate with many creatures there.
For example, the big banyan tree behind the girls' dormitory.
It would be strange if even a spiritual awakener like Tong Feifei could not sense the sudden change in advance.
Therefore, Jiang Yue is not particularly worried about Tong Feifei's survival.
Of course, given the current situation of Yangfan Middle School, which had just been tortured by a giant all night, and now has suffered a second mutation, the casualties will definitely not be small.
Zhou Qiangsen showed no interest in Yangfan Middle School.
What he is concerned about is how he will leave here during the day tomorrow, how he will go to the branch in Star City, and how he will return to the capital.
Later in the evening, Jiang Yue arranged a room for Zhou Qiangsen.
"Old Zhou, there are some evil ways in my house. After entering the room, be sure not to walk around. Otherwise, you will bump into something that cannot be bumped, and you will be in trouble."
Jiang Yue's tone was strange, sounding like a warning and also an advice.
Zhou Qiangsen said hurriedly: "I don't have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night for a walk."
He was certainly not a fool. How could he not understand what Jiang Yue meant?
There must be a lot of secrets in this villa, and people don't want him to break in and pry into the privacy.
If he really doesn't listen and runs around in the middle of the night, he may be in trouble.
After all, Zhou Qiangsen comes from a special department and has seen a lot. He knows that a strange person like Jiang Yue has many unknown methods.
For such people, it is best not to offend or make enemies.
Otherwise, the person who suffers will definitely not be the other party, but himself.
Except for the child Xia Xia, none of the adults actually had much sleepiness, but after staying up until midnight, they still went back to their houses.
It was certainly a sleepless night for them.
But to the outside world, this was undoubtedly a hellish night.
Fortunately, the sun rose early the next morning as usual.
Jiang Yue woke up, walked out of the room, and found that he was not the first one to wake up.
Lao Sun and Liu Yunqian had already gotten up and had been observing the outside through the window, looking very worried.
Because Jiang Yue didn't go downstairs, they didn't dare to open the door and observe the situation outside.
Jiang Yue went downstairs, and Han Jingjing also walked out of the room shortly after.
Finally, there was Johnson that week.
In order to avoid suspicion, he deliberately delayed walking out of the room until the last possible moment, obviously to show Jiang Yue that he was not running around.
Seeing that everyone was getting up, Liu Yunqian quickly started preparing breakfast.
Jiang Yue communicated with Mao Qi privately and made sure that Zhou Johnson did not come out and walk around in the middle of the night, so he ignored it and opened the door.
There was not much movement in the Daozi Lane Villa, and even the scene was no different from yesterday.
The flowers, plants and trees were all behaving in an honest manner, and they didn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble.
However, there were obviously more security personnel patrolling the roadside.
Jiang Yue had just taken a few steps when he saw a figure appearing at the other end of the road, and it was Han Yiming.
Jiang Yue hurriedly greeted him and said, "What's going on outside now?"
"As Zhou Qiangsen said, several security personnel at the door have disappeared. After checking the surveillance records, it turned out to be very strange."
"What kind of weird method? Can't the surveillance camera clearly see it?"
"It was true that I couldn't see clearly. I just felt a gust of wind blowing across the screen. Then... these people... disappeared."
"What's the situation with Zhou Qiangsen and his team?"
"It's almost the same, except that when Zhou Qiangsen escaped, there was surveillance."
This is a little weird.
The same thing can be recorded from Zhou Qiangsen's angle, but the movements of those weird giant trees cannot be captured clearly.
"Maybe it's a dimension problem, maybe the weird creatures are not on the same channel as us. Anyway, the surveillance shows are so weird." Old Han didn't know how to explain this problem.
Jiang Yue was curious: "How did Zhou Qiangsen escape?"
"This week Johnson is not an easy man. He was able to shrink his body to less than half, forcefully escape from the trap, escape the control of those giant trees, and barely escape with his life."
"Shrink to half? Bone shrinking skill?" Jiang Yue was a little surprised. There is a bone shrinking skill in martial arts novels. This week Johnson actually has such a skill?
"His bone-shrinking skill is not just a bone-shrinking skill. It's the kind that shrinks the proportions of the entire person, rather than just shrinking the bones." Han Yiming said, "Perhaps this is Zhou Qiangsen's awakened talent."
Jiang Yue nodded secretly, this Zhou Qiangsen was quite well hidden.
However, this guy was quite sensible last night and didn't cause any trouble. Jiang Yue didn't intend to dig up Zhou Qiangsen's background.
"Are those giant trees still standing at the door?" Jiang Yue changed the subject.
"Now, once you get close, you can feel their terrifying aggression. It's almost impossible to pass them head-on."
Han Yiming shook his head pessimistically.
Of course Jiang Yue knew that the ancient trees at the door were not just one or two, but one, a group of ancient trees.
The possibility of passing through without being attacked is really slim.
Unless you have the strength to be tough.
"Does the leader plan to leave Daozi Lane Villa?"
"It is still uncertain. All the senior officials in Star City are trapped in their apartments. Now there are only a few people on duty in the official building. Now the external disaster situation is serious, the roads have been destroyed even more seriously, and many buildings have directly collapsed. At this stage,
Most departments have been completely shut down and are unable to maintain operations. Rescue work is out of the question...Xiao Jiang, the situation is very bad."
Jiang Yue was silent. This was a foreseeable thing, but he still felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.
Han Yiming sighed: "If it only ends here, there is still something to be done. But according to official speculation, the second mutation will continue for a long time. No one knows where the end will be, and it may even get worse in the future.
.”
This is what is truly pessimistic and despairing.
Although the Daozi Lane Villa is safe for the time being, they are not ordinary people after all. The responsibilities they bear make it impossible for them to stay in the Daozi Lane Villa forever.
The old Han family is even worse.
The whole family eats and drinks, and the consumption alone is staggering.
This is not to mention all the gossip and trivial nonsense of those seven aunts and eight aunts.
When Han Yiming walked out of Villa No. 8, didn't he just want to hide for a while?
At this moment, Zhou Qiangsen walked out of the room.
Seeing Han Yiming and Jiang Yue chatting animatedly, he hurriedly came over and said, "Han Chu, what's the situation outside now? Can we travel?"
Han Yiming smiled bitterly and said: "Whatever situation you encountered yesterday, it is still the same situation now. It has neither gotten better nor gotten worse. As for the outside world, it is definitely worse."
Zhou Qiangsen looked depressed when he heard this: "Is there no chance of getting out at all? How about the other exits? If it doesn't work, we can always find a weaker position to get out by climbing over the wall, right?"
"If you just want to leave the Daozi Lane Villa, then it won't be a problem. But the external situation is unclear now, and there may be dangers everywhere. No matter where you go, if you don't have an obvious route plan, I advise you to stay calm."
Zhou Qiangsen smiled bitterly and said: "I also want to calm down, but in this situation, how can I calm down? I still have to go back to the capital for business!"
