Riding on His Coattails and Surviving the Apocalypse - Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Tropical Rainforest
The road behind the cliff was surprisingly smooth. Although the road was somewhat narrow, the road was not bad. Ji Shitian nodded in satisfaction. There was no need to repair the road. After driving for a long time, Shitian Squad arrived at a large forest. The trees were lush and looked very luxurious.

Along the way, due to the fact that this place was sparsely populated, They didn’t encounter a large number of zombies. The small group of zombies had been dealt with by them. Although there were some casualties, after this battle, the entire Sky Slaughter Squad’s strength had risen to a whole new level. Of course, the top of the ability was still snacks. No one could shake it, even though it was often bullied by Snake Bei Bei and only hated that it didn’t have an invisible ability.

Everyone looked at the dense forest in front of them with serious expressions. The forest that was originally meant to protect against wind and sand had become very strange. The big trees that covered the sky made people look like they were in a tropical rainforest. The appearance of tropical rainforest in the inland northwest region was a terrifying thing in itself, not to mention the large area of the rainforest here.

“It should be that the climate and terrain change is suitable for plants to grow. In other words, it will be convenient for crops to grow in the future.” Bai Yuli looked at the big tree that could not reach her head and said. However, his humor did not affect the others. After all, they were going to cross this place now.

“Is there no other way?” Actually, Lou Xiaoluo did not want to enter the forest. This forest made her hair stand on end, and she felt like Silent Ridge. They had never encountered a powerful mutated plant before. Little Shi couldn’t count as such, but Lou Xiaoluo knew that mutated plants of the same level were actually more powerful than mutated animals. The roots of the plants took root underground, so it was difficult to cause fatal injuries to them. This forest looked very powerful. Not to mention other people, even Lou Xiaoluo didn’t want to go in.

“If we take a detour, we will have to travel through the mountains. Moreover, we will have to make a lot of detours. There are also many plants in the mountains.” Everyone understood what Ji Shitian had to say. The path of detour was also not easy to take. The longer the delay, the greater the danger. It was better to pass through this place. After all, although the forest was long, its width was still within the acceptable range. This place was only a windbreak zone. The plants in the forest were relatively simple, but it was not certain that it was on the mountain. The key was that there were mutated animals.

Shitian Squad did not enter immediately. Instead, he rested not far away from the forest. He counted the hot weapons he could still use. Fire-type abilities were very popular in the forest, so everyone focused on fire-type attacks.

The Heaven Slaughter Squad was studying the route. They didn’t know that the other large bases were now surrounded by zombies. Many bases had been completely destroyed, and humans had welcomed another great calamity after the apocalypse. More than half of the people who were originally alive were killed and injured. Those who escaped were also looking for safe refuge everywhere, but there were no safe eggs under the nest.

The destruction did not affect Shitian Squad. The forest in front of them was still very quiet. The silence caused people to tremble even more. Ji Changde waited for the Ji family to be quiet for a long time before jumping out again. They were also lucky. After many battles, they still survived. However, they were no longer as arrogant as they were when they were at the base.

However, at this moment, Ji Changde and the others were protesting against entering the forest. Many people who were as weak as them were no longer here. They were lucky to be able to survive until now. Ji Changde and the others had a premonition that if they entered the forest, they would definitely not be able to make it to the finish line. Looking at Ji Changde and the others who were playing the tender card or threatening them, Ji Shitian said indifferently, “It’s fine if you don’t enter. You can make your own arrangements. I will leave you supplies for the sake of both surnamed Ji.” Ji Changde and the others were stunned. If they were left behind, they probably wouldn’t be able to survive.

“It’s fine if you want us to go in. You have to send someone to protect us. There are many people. Qi Han and Xu Jin will lead the team.” Ji Changde and the others didn’t want to be left behind, so they could only offer a compromise. Ji Shitian let out a soft chuckle and ignored Ji Changde and the others who were jumping on the spot, leading the team into the forest first.

The others looked at Ji Changde and the others with smiling expressions. They really felt good about themselves. How much face would it take to make such a request to their captain? Just as Ji Changde was about to speak, he was stopped by Ji Changling. “Brother, stop it, otherwise we will really be left here.”

“Mom, I’m scared.” Tang Jiaojiao was no longer as beautiful as she had been when she first met him. She was very haggard, and she was even a little panicked and uneasy. Ji Shitian treated them equally now, and they didn’t have much strength. They could only say that they couldn’t starve to death, and they didn’t have any other guarantees.

“It’s fine. If something really happens, we’ll go to Di Qiu’s side. He’s a scientist and he’ll definitely protect a lot of people. He’ll definitely protect us as well.” Ji Changling said, “Then why don’t we go to Lou Xiaoluo’s side?” Tang Jiaojiao asked.

“That’s right, Ji Shitian is such a precious woman. Isn’t it safer to go to her?” Ji Changde also said, “That woman likes to fight, and her combat strength is not weak. She will definitely be the first to rush forward in the face of danger. In addition, Ji Shitian will definitely protect Lou Xiaoluo. Do you think he will care if he sees us? And that snake as well?” Ji Changling trembled as she spoke. Even Tang Jiaojiao and Ji Changde had horrified expressions on their faces. That snake was very unfriendly to them.

Animals were very sensitive. She could sense that Ji Changde and the others were unkind, so she never had a good expression on her face. It was just that for Ji Shitian’s sake, she didn’t go too far. It was just that occasional threats made Ji Changde and the others unable to stand it.

“Di Qiu is not good at fighting and has a high status in the team, so he will definitely arrange someone to protect him. Besides, there is Xu Jin, so he is relatively safe.” Ji Changling said. Ji Changde and the others quickly caught up to the main force and ran to the middle of the group. Everyone pretended not to see them. Anyway, the captain said that they didn’t need to worry about them. Ji Shitian and the others, who were leading the way, did not know what Ji Changde and the others were thinking. They were all focused on this forest.

The trees on the outskirts didn’t look dangerous. It was just that they had grown too tall and strong from overnourishment. After walking for a while, many people felt a little relieved. However, Ji Shitian and the others’ expressions didn’t change. “Shi Tian, isn’t this too quiet? Have you ever seen a movie called Silent Ridge? I feel that way now.”

“Me too. Fortunately, it’s daytime. Otherwise, it’ll be even more gloomy. Let’s hurry up and leave, so that we can pass through the woods here today.” Di Qiu also said. He leaned closer to Xu Jin. Xu Jin pulled him back and told him not to worry, but his expression was very serious.

After walking for another period of time, the sunlight that could still shine through the leaves was no longer visible. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was daytime, everyone would have thought that it was already dusk, and they could even faintly smell the smell of blood. As the visibility became lower and lower, everyone became more and more cautious. They even lit a torch and suddenly let out a miserable scream. Shitian Squad suddenly disappeared without a trace. Ji Shitian and the others arrived at the place where the missing person was just now, but they did not find anything. There were only traces of blood left on the ground.

The people around him also said that everyone was guarding the surroundings. They didn’t find out why he wasn’t there. They just heard the screams and disappeared when they turned around. Before everyone could understand, they suddenly screamed a few more times and then disappeared. Everyone was so scared that they all shrank their ranks and gathered together.

Ji Shitian seemed to have seen the vines flash in front of him. Suddenly, he looked up and said, Through the flames, They noticed that there were many figures hanging faintly from the tree. Everyone felt numb as Ji Shi Tian looked at them. There were many silkworm pupae-like things on their heads. When they looked closely, they discovered that there were people inside with only their heads left outside. Even the Heaven Slaughter Squad that had seen great storms and waves revealed expressions of horror when faced with such a scene.

Everyone carefully checked and found that there were still many zombies and mutated animals. Some of them were empty, so they should have already digested the contents. No wonder this place was so quiet. It turned out that everything had been devoured by the trees, and it was cold.

“This tree looks familiar, especially when its prey is wrapped around it.” Qi Han always felt that it was quite familiar, but he just couldn’t remember, “It’s Memorial Cypress.” Bai Yuli said. Looking at the confused gazes of many people, Bai Yuli explained in detail in order to let everyone better understand the enemy’s response.

“This should be a tree growing on the Indonesian island of Java, called the Momo Cypress. This tree has many soft branches. If one accidentally touches the tree, those branches will immediately roll up like snakes, and the more they roll up, the tighter one will not be able to escape. At this time, the tree will soon secrete a kind of juice, people stick to it and slowly “digest” it. It can be said to be the most ferocious tree in the world, not to mention that it has evolved. I’m afraid it’s even more dangerous now. ”

Bai Yuli had never seen a Memorial Cypress before, but she had introduced this kind of tree when she was reading a book. At that time, he was curious about it and had told Qi Han about it, so Qi Han had an impression of it. However, Bai Yuli didn’t feel happy when she saw these trees here.

Ji Shitian took out the snack. I was wondering what snack thinks about all this, After all, they were all plants, It’s better to let the snacks scare them and let them pass safely than to fight each other, However, what Xiao Shi Tian said surprised them. These trees were different from the traditional mutated plants. They had no thoughts, only instincts, and no way to communicate effectively or threaten the other party with high-level abilities. Ji Shi Tian put down Xiao Shi and looked at the Parasol Forest with a gloomy expression.

A small theater

Monk: Benefactor, the Yin Qi here is too heavy. The woman is Yin. Quickly and quickly leave. Remember.

Lou Xiaoluo: What happened? Why am I here?

Taoist Priest: Young lady, hurry up and leave. Master and I still have important things to do. We can’t protect you. Hurry up and leave. Be careful of your life.

Lou Xiaoluo: No, you always let me go. You have to tell me where to go and where this place is. Hey, don’t go. Tell me clearly.

Ji Shi Tian (Dangerous Face): Xiao Luo, what are you dreaming about? What are you dreaming about? Are you so reluctant to let the other party leave?

Lou Xiaoluo: I dreamed of a monk and a Taoist priest.

Ji Shitian (?) Do you have such a strong taste now.

Lou Xiaoluo: What?

Ji Shi Tian (meaningful): It’s not impossible to get a set of clothes.

Lou Xiaoluo: I always feel that something bad is going to happen.
