Traveling To The Last Days To Protect You

Before Lin Tantan they found the hole, to be precise before dark, Ye Xiao had already looked over the place where they bumped into the root of the mutated plant in the afternoon. After searching it all over, nothing was found, except for some tiny roots.

Even the tunnel that should have been left by such a thick rhizome was not found.

The thing seemed to appear out of thin air and then disappear out of thin air.

Ye Xiao squatted in the huge pit with a depth of five or six meters and looked at it for a long time, when he suddenly twisted some soil with his hands. The soil in most places is very dense, but the soil in this part is relatively loose and moist, and the particles are relatively fine.

This difference is very subtle, if you don't observe carefully, you can't see it at all.

There is also something sticky in the soil, I don't know what it is.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly, and continued to dig in following this special feature. He used supernatural powers, so he dug several meters away and dug a passage.

On the ground, the person who was ordered by Lu Jianping to assist Ye Xiao to investigate the scene opened his mouth wide: "Colonel Ye, this is..."

"That's the track that the thing traveled, and it refilled it with new soil after it left."

The person above was a little hairy: "Still, will you hide your whereabouts?"

"Well, it should be a very intelligent little thing."

Small, small things? The people above are a little speechless, this is too scary, okay?

Ye Xiao said, "Please find some earth-type supernatural powers for me."

"it is good!"

Then he was busy till dark, and Ye Xiao, together with several earth-type supernatural beings, dug a thick and long passage tens of meters away. People with supernatural abilities are naturally sensitive to the composition of soil, which helped Ye Xiao a lot.

However, the two passages dug out do not point to the other side of the mountain, but to the opposite direction.

Ye Xiao looked in this direction for a long time, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

When Lu Jianping heard that he had found it, he rushed over immediately and asked Ye Xiao at the bottom of the pit, "Did you find it?"

Ye Xiao patted the mud on his hands, got up and jumped lightly, and jumped onto the ground a few times: "I haven't found it yet, but according to the current findings, the situation is not very good. I thought it was a root of some kind of plant. Botanical searches on the ground can lock onto targets."

Lu Jianping said: "I've tried this. I have had people uproot all the plants within a kilometer, and there is nothing abnormal. I have asked people to search for it, including on the mountains, but they haven't found it." Lu Jianping pressed his head, obviously this The strange things that appeared suddenly gave him a very headache, because he also suspected that the danger might come from the mountain, so he was hesitating whether to move away from the foot of the mountain.

But this is not his family moving alone, but all the important departments moving out together. This is a very huge project, and where so many people are going to settle, the base is so big.

Ye Xiao heard this and said, "There are two possibilities. One is that this thing is not a plant, but a subterranean reptile that looks like a plant root."

Lu Jianping frowned, the people around him also had ugly faces, subterranean reptiles? Sounds scarier alright.

It was a person's communication device ringing, and after listening to a few words, he hurriedly said to Lu Jianping: "Chief, the Academy of Sciences has obtained the results. The conclusion of the anatomy is that it is a plant with a typical plant cell structure."

Lu Jianping: "What kind of plant?"

"Uh, I can't confirm for the time being. It is said that it has strange traits. What kind of chromosome map comparison is being carried out."

Lu Jianping secretly scolded a group of useless trash in his heart. The two things that were chopped off by Lin Tantan, the people from the Academy of Sciences hurried over and asked for them, and then they also took away the roots that were dug out when digging the ground, so sufficient research materials , It took several hours to tell him, oh, I figured out that it is indeed a plant, what kind of plant is it? do not know.

What about its characteristics and weaknesses, I don't know anything!

How many resources were consumed every day, and what happened in the end? A group of idiots!

Lu Jianping thought in his heart that he would cut the resources allocated to the Academy of Sciences in half, while Ye Xiao continued: "Since it is confirmed that it is a plant, then there is the second possibility. This thing does not have a plant part above the ground, it only lives underground, and it can Crawling freely, most likely uninhibited."

Lu Jianping's face turned green. After all, he was still crawling freely. This word is really unacceptable.

He said, "Are you sure?"

"Not completely sure, there is no second case of it attacking humans, right?"

"No, it was the first case in the afternoon. That thing has never appeared before, and there has been no movement since then."

If it wasn't for the wreck of the wrecked car, they would almost have thought that thing never appeared at all.

Do they have to wait for that thing to hurt someone for the second time before they can make a countermeasure? The problem is, the base is so big, who knows where it is going and when it plans to make a move?

Lu Jianping suddenly said, "Ye Xiao, it's not like your people are particularly fond of that thing, right?" Something went wrong.

Ye Xiao's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes trembled slightly.

"In short, we can't get any results for the time being, so let's strengthen our defenses."

Lu Jianping sighed: "That's the only way to go."

Ye Xiao then talked with Lu Jianping about the 400 tons of grain.

Four hundred tons of grain is indeed not a big amount, but when he heard that he was going to give these to the base, Lu Jianping still raised his eyebrows and patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder: "I have a heart."

"How about distributing this batch of food to flu patients in the name of the base?" Ye Xiao said. Lu Jianping glanced at him, thinking that he really cares about flu patients, but he did confirm it from many recovered patients. , People who have recovered from the flu can indeed improve their physique a lot, and there are several supernatural beings among them.

Although the Academy of Sciences couldn't come up with a clear theory, most of them agreed that the rain contained some kind of energy that promoted the evolution of species. Like those zombies, animals and plants, they evolved in large numbers as soon as they were watered by the rain.

For example, the group of zombies that have been screaming outside the base for more than half a month, such as the weeds that grow like crazy after taking hormones, and the crawling guy who doesn't know what it is underground.

Only human beings are not sensitive to this kind of energy, and before getting benefits, they generally show a serious illness first.

One ebbs and another, the future is worrying.

The more Lu Jianping thought about it, the worse he felt, and the more he had expectations for the flu patients, hoping that they would recover immediately and turn into supermen.

The distribution of 400 tons of food to other groups is not enough. It is worthwhile to give it to the patients, and it is in the name of the base. This is a good thing for him as the chief. He nodded and agreed without hesitation. Ye Xiao also found it pleasing to the eye.

Ye Xiao then told him about his plan to recruit some people, and if he wanted to do something on their territory, he still had to say hello.

Lu Jianping raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to stay here?"

Ye Xiao: "I don't plan to leave for the time being. There may be some gaps between Li Qun and I. The development of manpower is also for self-protection."

In the afternoon, when Li Qun's people clashed with Ye Xiao, Lu Jianping naturally knew how the batch of food came from. He was also very clear about the quarrel between Ye Xiao and Li faction. He promised Ye Xiao to develop his power.

"Speaking of which, there is still a piece of land on the east side, which is still deserted, so you can use it if you want." Lu Jianping said suddenly.

"The one near the parking lot?"

"That's it."

Ye Xiao had an impression of that piece of land. The terrain was relatively low, and the accumulated water couldn't drain out. It wasn't a good place, but it was a big place. If he wanted to develop his own troops, he needed territory first, and now he wanted to build a base in Ning City. A piece of land is not an easy task.

It's good to take care of that land, and it's not too far from the villa area.

He thanked him, and then went to the parking lot to hand over the food. Naturally, Lu Jianping would not go there in person for such a small matter, but in order to show respect for Ye Xiao, he still asked someone who was very useful to bring a troop there.

As the car drove away, Lu Jianping also said: "Go back, don't want to sleep peacefully until you find that thing."

His subordinates asked: "Why did the chief agree to let Ye Xiao develop his power? It's better to hold this person in his hands."

Lu Jianping said calmly: "I want to hold it, do you think he is willing to be the knife in my hand?"

The men were silent.

Lu Jianping continued: "After a few times of contact, this young man seems to like me, and his temper is a bit tough, but at least he can save me, he won't cause trouble for me, and he can help me a little bit. Instead of letting him leave like this, It's better to let him sit on the big table, you said, should I be anxious first, or Li Qun first?" Lu Jianping sneered, "That idiot, who said he was short-sighted, didn't believe it, and made Ye Xiao look bad for a mere few hundred tons of grain. Is it raining?"

Lu Jianping looked to the north again: "That Min Yande is also a wonderful person. I heard that he was recruiting soldiers in the capital and jumping up and down immediately. He threw out villa after villa in order to buy powerful supernatural beings. He just pushed out a real sharp weapon. What do you think about him, Ye Xiao is obviously his direct subordinate, a natural ally."

The subordinate thought for a moment: "Who knew that Ye Xiao's ability is so strong."

Lu Jianping said, yes, who would have thought that a person with wind ability would be so strong, and he was shocked just by hearing about the parking lot.

"Find an opportunity for you to compare with him."

The men fell silent for a while.

"Why, no confidence?" Lv Jianping laughed and didn't continue this topic.

At this time, Li Qun, another military boss at the base, also got the news, his face sank like water: "Ye Xiao gave those grains to Lu Jianping!"

Li Qun is about the same age as Lu Jianping. The latter has a square face and looks majestic and rigid. Li Qun is a handsome middle-aged man with a bit of elegance, but at the moment his face is sombre, that elegance is completely gone. , leaving only gloomy.

Someone nearby persuaded: "It's just a few hundred tons of grain."

"Is this a question of hundreds of tons of grain?" Li Qun was annoyed. It was a question of attitude, a question of position, and a question of face! He stole food from his people and gave it to his enemy! For this reason, he beat his people in public!

"I really don't like this stuff, but he's hitting me in the face!"

Others thought, if you don't like it, why bother to touch this thing? If they don't respond, and let you take away the supplies he brought all the way from Yangshi, that would be a slap in the face. If you don't want to be slapped in the face, then you can only slap your face in reverse.

Li Qun had nowhere to vent his evil fire, and wanted to make Ye Xiao look good, but when he thought about his abilities, he found it very tricky, unless he killed him in one go, there would be endless troubles.

A dog leg who won his heart quickly said: "Don't be angry, chief, anyway, this Ye Xiao will leave sooner or later, why should you take him seriously? We don't have a backstage in the capital. You send a telegram, and there will be more in the future." He wears small shoes."

Li Qun thought about it. His enemy is Lu Jianping. His first task is to seize the control of the base and the right to speak. He said coldly, "He'd better leave early, or I'll make him look good."

He put the matter aside, and continued to discuss with his generals how to get Lu Jianping off his horse. However, within two minutes, another message came back. Now that the capital is in the capital, they have to let go to develop their own influence. Lu Jianping is still very supportive, and the two have a very happy chat.

Li Qun: "..."

Everyone looked at Li Qun in unison, as if they were waiting for Li Qun to say how to make him look good. Li Qun: My face hurts.

…

Ye Xiao finished all his work and returned to the villa quite late. He glanced at the walkie-talkie he had modified, but there was no incoming call or text message. It was fine if Bai Cheng didn't ask how things were going, and someone didn't say anything. .

Don't you worry about him?

In any case, they are looking for mutated plants, and they may encounter danger at any time.

When the car drove into the yard, Ye Xiao took a last look at the intercom, and the screen was still clean.

Well, he accepted this reality, got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and prepared to greet her cheerful "You're back".

But no, the living room was empty, the lights were turned on brightly, but there were faint voices coming from outside.

Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he returned to the yard, his voice became clearer, it was coming from outside the fence, and it was quite lively.

"Did you dig it? Did you dig it?"

"Oh, I got run away again!"

"Wait or let the mutated mouse crawl in to see? Hey, they are too big. What about the hamster? That hamster should be able to get in."

"Squeak creak..."

Ye Xiao found the sound, grabbed the two-meter-high wall with his hands, jumped up easily, and saw a circle of human heads, with his hands pointing at various guys, and the ground near the base of the wall was dug for them. The scene of the destruction of corpses.

"Hey!" Mei Bo yelled strangely, "Boss, can you stop being scary!"

Ye Xiao reached out to block the flashlight: "What are you doing?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, oh well, I forgot to notify him of such a big event.

After a while, Ye Xiao knew the ins and outs. Looking at the tragic situation on the ground beside the wall, his heart should have been heavy, because the thing he was most worried about happened, but his mood was not serious at all.

"So you just poked, dug and dug around here, and chased and chased that thing for more than an hour?" Ye Xiao thought it was unbelievable, what kind of people are these people!

"I'm just looking at it." Xu Qin was the first to clear the relationship.

Bai Cheng also said, "I'll take a look too."

Zhong Xiong said with a smile: "Join in the fun."

Jiang Xiaotian raised his hand: "I will provide technical support."

"Nonsense, don't be too happy to shovel the soil with a big shovel!" Mei Bosheng immediately exposed him.

Xu Li looked around and said nothing, he was indeed involved, and Cheng Qinan also provided technical support, invisible, and finally Lin Tantan touched his nose, well, she was the main force.

"Ahem," she said, "mainly to find out what it is."

This started more than an hour ago, when they heard the cry of the mutated mouse, they came out and found a hole. Based on the size of the hole, the mutated mouse's reaction as if it was facing a formidable enemy, and Cheng Qinan's premonition, They guessed that the mutated plant came to the door during the day.

Of course they were shocked and vigilant, but they waited for a long time without any abnormalities. Soon after they dispersed, the mutant rats squeaked again. When they came out, a second hole suddenly appeared next to the first hole. .

This is very fun. After discussing with each other, we installed a camera on the wall, and then pretended to search and left as if nothing was found. In fact, we went to stare at the monitoring screen.

After more than ten minutes, the soil layer next to the second hole was arched by something, and a section of something emerged.

The camera couldn't take a clear picture at night, anyway, it was just a gray and white thing, with a pointed head, and soon a very thick one, swinging this way and that, as if trying to climb up the wall.

Not to mention, it's really scary, mainly because it's creepy, and it immediately reminds people of snakes and the like. Anyway, Lin Tantan has goosebumps, but a group of men don't think much of it, they are just worried that this is a lethal force. Huge monster.

Then, the mutated rat found something abnormal again, and squeaked again, and then everyone saw the thing swish back into the soil as if frightened.

Everyone: "..."

Suddenly I feel a little cute.

Cough, this kind of thinking is wrong, but they became more and more curious, and they started to go out to guard, firstly, to test the strength of this thing, and secondly, it is best to catch it.

As a result, this thing was very difficult to grasp, and it retracted at the slightest sign of trouble. The speed was extremely fast. Lin Tantan's belt and Mei Bosheng's ability couldn't keep it, because the other party didn't show any threat, and they couldn't hold it. I don't want to take the initiative to get rough, and then it's a duel like whack-a-mole and digging earthworms.

Time passed like this.

At first I thought about notifying Ye Xiao, but then I forgot before I knew it.

Before I knew it, I forgot...

Ye Xiao was speechless.

But he didn't say anything. Everyone is not ignorant, and Cheng Qinan has a keen sense of danger. Since they treat it as a game, it means that they really don't think that thing is dangerous.

Ye Xiao also really wanted to know that thing.

It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, the thing didn't appear again, so everyone had to go back with regret: "Go to sleep, it may not appear again at night."

After washing, Lin Tantan was still thinking while lying on the bed. That thing should be the same thing as the one he encountered during the day, and then the problem came. In the late end of the world, there were indeed a few mutated plants that could move for themselves and turned into essences. , but it is too early for this kind of thing to appear.

Moreover, what exactly is it doing there?

Is there something about this villa that attracts it?

After tossing and turning for a long time, she almost fell asleep, and suddenly she seemed to hear something vaguely, and she opened her eyes all at once.

Today is the first day of the new year, there is no moonlight at all, and it is very dark outside. She got out of bed carefully and did not turn on the lights. She came to the glass door of the balcony, opened the curtains, quietly opened the door, and came to the balcony. On the fence, a strip protruded faintly, as if it was investigating, and then went down quietly.

"..." Sure enough, this guy won't give up easily.

She waited patiently, and after a long time, she heard another movement, but it was from downstairs. Lin Tantan lowered his head and took a closer look. Well, something got out of the soil next to the wall on the first floor, and then climbed up along the wall.

Lin Tantan watched silently, thinking about how to deal with it for a while, when he suddenly noticed something, turned his head and saw that Ye Xiao also walked over quietly from the balcony next door, and he also looked downstairs, Then prop up the railing between the two balconies and flip over.

Lin Tantan took a step back subconsciously. He held her shoulder with one hand and put his index finger in front of her lips, signaling to keep quiet, and then led her into the room.

It was Lin Tantan's room that entered.

Back in the room, Lin Tantan whispered, "What about you?"

"I guess that thing will come again, and I haven't slept all the time." Because Ye Xiao wanted to keep his voice down as much as possible, Ye Xiao got a little closer, and his breath somewhat touched Lin Tantan's cheeks. Lin Tantan felt uncomfortable all over, and barely held back Overwhelmed by the urge to back away, I heard him say, "Sure enough, it's here to find you."

Lin Tantan was taken aback: "How did you guess that?"

"You broke two of its rhizomes, who else would you look for?"

Lin Tantan stared, was he joking? She was about to be hunted for revenge, and he was still in the mood to joke around!

The room was very dark. Even if Ye Xiao got used to the darkness, he couldn't clearly see Lin Tantan's expression, but some subtle movements could make him imagine her expression. He smiled softly, " Just kidding, it's so timid, it really doesn't look like it's here to seek revenge."

Hearing the sound of something climbing up outside, Lin Tantan asked, "What is that here for?"

"I found a kind of slime in the soil where it appeared. I also found some in the soil at the base of the wall just now. It is the same, if it is not secreted by itself...Didn't you say that after cutting it, the hard outer layer Is the layer full of slime?"

"You mean, it's injured and hasn't healed yet, so it came to see a doctor?" Lin Tantan said, and it was pretty much what she thought.

"I'll know soon." Ye Xiao pulled her back, "Stay far away, it's very alert..." Before Jue could say the word, he suddenly tripped over the bed and sat down, Lin Tantan was also brought down by him , The knee hit his knee hard, and the person almost jumped on him, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and supported him on his shoulder.

But even so, the distance between the two was too close.

Ye Xiao made a rare mistake, and was stunned for a moment, Lin Tantan quickly stood up straight: "Ah, I moved the bed closer to the balcony."

In Ye Xiao's room, the bed was at least three meters away from the balcony, while Lin Tantan's room was even bigger. He subconsciously thought that the bed was also far away, but he only took two steps...

Ye Xiao was a little embarrassed: "Is your leg okay?"

As soon as he reminded him, Lin Tantan felt the pain in his kneecap, as if he was knocked on a stone, and grinned suddenly. Are this person's bones made of iron?

Just as I was about to speak, I heard something knocking on the glass door.
