I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 344 Attacked
The sky is bright.

Ling Yun sat up abruptly, and found himself lying in an abandoned trench filled with stench.There are sandbags all around the pit, and there is an open space on the periphery, where traces of black powder left after the bombing can be vaguely seen.

There was a burst of coldness on his chest, and Ling Yun looked down, only to find that a big hole had been torn in the protective suit.Although the clothes inside were soaked in blood, there were no wounds on his body.

As he stood up, a wire scissors bayonet that was rusty on the surface but still sharp slipped down to Ling Yun's hand.

The bayonet was wrapped in rags from his clothes and a lot of uncoagulated black blood, and its source was a damaged Mosin Nagant rifle under him.

From this point of view, when I fell from the tree last night, I happened to be unlucky enough to fall into this trench and hit the muzzle of the gun again; on the other hand, Wei Chongming, who was at the side, was much luckier than himself: he fell directly into the sandbag On the road, with the cushion at the bottom, it was a blessing in disguise and did not suffer any injuries.

"Hey."

Ling Yun sighed, looking at the unscathed body after being repaired by Ark, he was not happy, but worried.

The situation that happened to him now is enough to prove that that guy Ark is really not lying.Now he is no stronger than Shen Tinglan's aura of the protagonist, and he is not completely protected by the rules.With a little slack, Er Zhoumu can still easily kill himself.

What made him unable to breathe even more was that there was an enemy who hadn't shown up yet, waiting for an opportunity in the dark.

"Ark said that my abilities began to become stronger three or four months ago, which means that number 7 awakened his self-awareness during that time. He did this to replace me and live? If he died on number 7 What will happen in my hand? Will the No. 7 who has integrated a complete soul still be the original me?"

Just as he was thinking, Ling Yun suddenly felt that there seemed to be something foreign object touching him.

Ling Yun picked it up casually, and actually pulled out a skull entwined with tree roots from the soft and wet black soil beneath him.

The skull was still wearing a steel helmet, and a large piece of filth was attached to it, and even the palm of his own was also stained with a strange black substance that he couldn't tell what it was.

These foreign bodies were sticky and sticky, mixed with a rotten stench that penetrated into the nostrils. This smell was comparable to the mucus extruded from the stinky socks that had not been washed for a week in the boys' dormitory of the sports school after fermenting in the dry toilet for three days.

At this moment, several black centipedes and white maggots are constantly drilling out from the depths of the skull's eye sockets.

Seeing this scene, Ling Yun had goosebumps all over his body. The next second, his figure disappeared from the trench and appeared in the forest.

"Hiss—almost forgot, the ability has been unlocked."

Since the skill was activated subconsciously, Ling Yun still maintained his previous posture after being transferred. He was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Holding his waist, he got up from the ground and grinned, looking around.The trees here are similar to the human-faced trees discovered before, and most of them show a weird and distorted growth state.

Those curved silhouettes are like eerie and slender ghosts in the gray mist, watching the surrounded prey sinisterly.

Dozens of skeletons were scattered scattered in the woods. These skeletons were dressed in former Soviet military uniforms, and their death conditions were extremely tragic.Some were half-hung from trees, leaving only half of their bodies; others were entangled by tree roots, almost embedded in the trunk.

Ling Yun walked up to a fairly complete corpse, and found that the ID card it was wearing had the words RSB-1121 engraved on it.It seems that the army that went deep into the heart of the tree was the team led by Ivanov before.

Encountering them now means that I am not far from the tree temple mentioned in the information.Although he knew that he was getting closer and closer to danger, fortunately, the ability had been unlocked.

Thinking of the dangers in the heart of the tree, Wei Chongming was still unconscious on the spot, Ling Yun didn't care about other things, immediately activated his ability, and returned to the vicinity of the trench.

Through investigation, Ling Yun found that there were no beasts or monsters in this area, and it was considered safe.

He took out the high-level healing item healing potion from the space backpack, and treated Wei Chongming's wound.Although the potion could not bring Wei Chongming back to consciousness, fortunately his fate was saved.

Next, as long as Tang Yao is found, Wei Chongming can be cured completely.

Ling Yun thought about it, and hurriedly called out to the surroundings a few times, but Tang Yao and Ren Yao didn't get a response.

"Looks like Chongming and I fell to the ground first last night and got separated from them."

Ling Yun checked the surrounding area, and quickly confirmed the direction of the human-mask tree's movement through the turning of the nearby soil.After throwing all the equipment into the space backpack and recovering his body relaxed, Ling Yun carried Wei Chongming on his back and teleported into the dense forest again.

Although Ark had previously confessed that he would unlock his true strength, Ling Yun still didn't expect his upper limit to be so high.

You must know that no matter how hard you tried in the past, the upper limit of teleportation was no more than 20 meters.But now, he just moved his mind a little, and he moved the person 300 meters away with ease.

"It seems that Ark really didn't lie."

Ling Yun casually covered the trunk of a fir tree with a height of more than ten meters, and focused again to activate the skill.

boom--

There was a loud sound of heavy objects hitting the ground in the distance, and there was only a half-meter-high tree stump that was cut off in the middle.The other parts of the fir tree, which weighed over a ton, were all moved by Ling Yun to the open space on the other side.

And this is just less than half of his own strength.

Ling Yun was dumbfounded, looked at his palm and murmured: "If I have a complete soul, I can't imagine how strong I will be... It seems that it is imperative to revive Lin Yuanqi."

Compared with other avatars, Ling Yun cares most about the mysterious No. 7.

If Ark hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known about the soul fragments at all.The most frightening thing is that, judging from Ark's words, No. 7 has already awakened self-awareness.

Therefore, he should have discovered himself a long time ago, but he never showed the slightest flaw.

Before the strength surpassed the main body, No. 7 wisely chose to hibernate, starting from the weakest clone one by one, and making himself stronger through devouring.

He is like a poisonous snake entrenched in the dark, always waiting for the right moment.Then, when the main body is unprepared, he will attack with powerful, swift, and vicious strength to kill him.

Such a terrifying enemy has been lurking beside him without anyone noticing.

The more Ling Yun thought about it, the more he shuddered.

Ark was right, he must not let No. 7 fuse the other three soul fragments ahead of him!Now that both No. 3 and No. 11 have come to the Dark Forest, at least they must seize the opportunity here.

Thinking about it, Ling Yun didn't stop any longer, and disappeared on the spot with Wei Chongming on his back.

Not long after he left, the originally empty ground outside the trench suddenly bulged, forming a mound the size of an iron barrel.Something under the mound moved forward at an extremely fast speed, and stopped in the pit where Ling Yun had stopped.

In an instant, a forearm-thin crimson tentacle broke through the ground, crushed the sandbag, quickly wrapped around the half of the gun that was stained with Ling Yun's blood, and dragged it into the burrow.

……

At noon, despite the improved visibility, the fog and miasma in the forest still obscured the sky.

These fogs are unusual, flowing slowly in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, giving people in it the illusion of falling into the bottom of the water.

Ling Yun has been following Wei Chongming behind his back for nearly four hours.Although his physical fitness has been greatly improved, the frequent use of abilities still makes his body a little overwhelmed.

So he found a fairly clean space and put Wei Chongming down to rest.After feeding the other party some water, Ling Yun took out the bread from the space backpack and started to devour it.

"This Human Face Tree is too good at running, so why not bring Tang Yao and the others straight to their lair?"

Ling Yun took out a white hairpin from his pocket, and carefully wiped off the mud on it with his sleeve.This is Tang Yao's stuff, and I accidentally discovered it on the way to track it not long ago.

At first Ling Yun was optimistic that he would find his teammates soon, but after a whole morning of chasing, he found that the heart of the tree was much bigger than he imagined.

Just when Ling Yun was about to rest for a while to gain enough energy to move on, a woman's intermittent crying could be faintly heard from the depths of the mist.

Different from the previous movement of ghosts and ghosts, Ling Yun held his breath to search for the source of the sound, and found that it was vaguely mixed with the other party's cry for help.

　Recently, the BJ epidemic has been serious, and I was unfortunately recruited a while ago... Now it is estimated that the sun is everywhere, everyone pay attention to the body.
