Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 156 Killer in the Rain

The sky was gloomy, and the dense dark clouds were slowly flowing, seeming to be getting lower and lower, lower and lower, and they were about to press down on the ground.

There is no wind in the open field, and it is extremely hot in today's season. There are large troops walking on the road, and people's sweat keeps dripping down, splashing on the ground, turning into mud spots and wrapping around their trouser legs.

"What the hell weather is this!" a man wiped his sweat and complained, but he didn't dare to stop.

This pedestrian is the team that is going to carry out the task of Liulan City Children's Paradise. They are worthy of being an elite force. In such a sweltering weather, if ordinary people rush like this, they may not be able to breathe, but their speed is not slow, which is equivalent to that of ordinary people. Trot, you know, everyone has been moving forward at this speed for two hours!
Everyone in the Ivy Squad has always been in the middle of the team, neither competing for the front nor falling behind, submerged in the team of about [-] people, not conspicuous.

"Rantong, you look so relaxed." Xia Yongjia panted slightly.

Seeing Xia Yongjia's round face covered with sweat, and his whole body seemed to be heavier, Lin Rantong smiled and said: "Yongjia, who made you grow so much flesh."

Xia Yongjia pouted aggrievedly and said, "I don't think so, I've been like this since I was a child, people grow flesh when they drink cold water, and I grow flesh when I take a breath."

Lin Rantong shook his head, and secretly stuffed him an opaque bottle, which contained coconut water, prepared by harvesting coconuts in the space, and asked Wei Xiuning to get a lot of ice cubes for ice.

Xia Yongjia took it and drank a few sips. The cool and sweet juice drank in his stomach, and the heat was swept away in an instant, and he immediately felt refreshed, and his movements were obviously much faster.

"Boom——" a thunder came from the sky, it seemed that God was angry, and everyone felt that the whole sky trembled.

Sure enough, a ray of light pierced the dark clouds, and then the heavy rain poured down, mixed with lightning and thunder, which looked extremely scary. At this moment, the power of nature was fully revealed.

The people who had nothing to hide were instantly drenched, looking at the darkened sky and the trees swaying in the strong wind, they felt a little palpitating.With so many trees, it would be a disaster if it was struck by lightning.

Yan Qingwen looked around. There were tall trees and dense vines and weeds. The road under his feet could not be seen at a glance. He had no choice but to raise the energy in his body and shouted: "Keep going!" Energy, despite such a scene, two hundred people can still hear it clearly.

There were complaints from the crowd.

"Damn it, it's really unlucky, how did you catch up with such a ghostly weather?"

"What's the trouble? The face of the child in June doesn't just change."

No matter how much you complain and vent, God will not stop the heavy rain because of this, and everyone still has to hurry.

Lin Rantong's whole body was also drenched. She was already thin, and after eating the fruit of lightness, she made her figure even lighter. She was like a rootless grass in the wind and rain. As if blown away by a strong wind.

The road was already extremely muddy, and when everyone took a step, their feet would sink and they needed to be pulled out with great effort. The mud on the shoes was getting thicker and thicker.

When Lin Rantong passed by, she only left a shallow footprint on the muddy road. She was dazzled by the incoming rain, and she didn't check for a while. The speed of the whole team slowed down, and she had already walked to the front. Yan Qingwen saw Looking at Lin Rantong's feet, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, but he didn't make a sound.

Lin Rantong rubbed his eyes, and realized that he was running to the front of the team. Looking back, Wei Xiuning and the others also speeded up and rushed towards her, then slowed down.

"Sister Lin, you run so fast." Ma Xiaoyan, who followed her, had her hair wet on her scalp and her clothes were soaked, looking in a mess.

To be honest, in this situation, the women in the team are quite sad. It is summer, and everyone doesn't wear many clothes. After being hit by the rain, all of them are stuck to the body, and the inside becomes faintly visible.

Seeing Ma Xiaoyan's appearance, Lin Rantong suddenly realized the problem, looked down at himself, twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at the people around him. Fortunately, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was pouring down directly in pots, without any intention of stopping.In this case, even though they were injected with stamina potions and everyone was no ordinary person, their physical strength was gradually exhausted.

The speed of the team slowed down, and in the end, many people were dragging their bodies away. Fortunately, everyone was qualified to participate in the mission. No one spoke, but no one stopped and did not leave.

At this time, everyone's physical fitness was also reflected. Yan Qingwen, Lei Ting, Qiao Feifei, etc. seemed relatively relaxed, and they were probably the best of the mercenary teams.And everyone in the Ivy League was much stronger than the others. Even Xia Yongjia, who had been panting heavily, didn't walk too slowly.

And Lin Rantong's performance is simply eye-catching. I saw that her expression remained unchanged, letting the rainwater keep pouring on her thin body, her movements were not swaying, and she walked across the muddy road like flowing clouds and flowing water, as if walking It's as smooth as it is on Bluestone Avenue.

More and more people are casting their eyes on her. They are all proud and arrogant people. They usually hear how good Captain Ivy is. Although they know that her space ability is rare, but when it comes to strength, they have never come into contact with her. Some people didn't approve of it, but now, they were slowly convinced. Just because she walked so calmly in the storm without getting tired, her strength was extraordinary.

Lin Rantong tried to slow down as much as possible to follow the Ivy League crowd, and didn't care about those eyes. She doesn't like to show off, but she doesn't want to pretend to be a low-key pig and eat a tiger.

In fact, Lin Rantong's stamina does not mean that she is much stronger than others, but her body is extremely light now, and she usually controls herself when she walks, forcibly increasing the gravity. Piglets will be affected by walking on dirt roads, will a leaf get tired?

Thinking of this metaphor, Lin Rantong secretly glanced at Xia Yongjia for some reason, then straightened his face and continued walking.

After walking for another half an hour, Yan Qingwen said, "Everyone, take a break!"

Hearing what he said, many people sat on the ground directly.

Xia Yongjia and the others looked around, and it seemed that the road was a little better. After all, it used to be a road, so they sat down like others.

"Xiaoyu, are you alright?" Seeing Liu Yu's pale face, Xia Yongjia asked.

Liu Yu's little melon-seeded face was washed pale by the rain, she shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

The whole team has been driving for a long time. Once they stopped, everyone felt hungry and thirsty. Many people stretched out their hands and poured the rainwater into their mouths. Some even opened their mouths wide on their backs, letting the rainwater pour into their mouths. irrigation.

Although the team's rations were placed in Lin Rantong's space, everyone was an experienced mercenary, and they still put food in their carry-on bags.At this time, many people untied the animal skin bags and took out dry food to eat.

This kind of animal skin bag is more popular in Yaoguang base now. It is made of the skin of a mutated fish. It is breathable, waterproof, durable, and the price ranges from high to low. It has gradually become a place for mercenaries. A must have bag.

Everyone in the Ivy team was also hungry, and opened the animal skin bag they carried with them like others, and took out the buns in it and ate them.Because the buns are freshly made, they are still plump and soft, and the aroma comes out after one bite.
Although the steamed stuffed buns are delicious, the rainwater that hit the face after taking a bite is followed by swallowing, the whole stomach is cold and uncomfortable, but everyone in Lin Rantong still eats without frowning. They usually try their best when conditions permit. Let yourself live more comfortably, but it doesn't mean that you can't suffer. When performing tasks like this, accidents may happen at any time, and maintaining sufficient physical fitness is the most basic common sense.

Lin Rantong and the others felt uncomfortable eating steamed stuffed buns in the rain. A mercenary sitting next to them, watching Ivy's people each gnawing on a big white and fat steamed stuffed bun, couldn't help swallowing, and bit hard. Taking a bite of the big cake that was as hard as a rock in my hand, the dry food made of this kind of pure flour is already considered good, but now I feel tasteless when I eat it.

"Ahem, can I have another bun?" The mercenary finally couldn't help it.

Everyone in Lin Rantong looked at it in surprise, and saw a man not far away holding a big cake in his hand and handing it towards them with a smile on his face.

Lin Rantong was not disgusted with this kind of straightforward request. Anyway, it was up to them to agree or not to the request. Now it was just another bun to eat, so she nodded at Liu Yu who was the closest to the man.

Liu Yu understood, reached out and took out a bun from the bag, and quickly handed it to the man while covering the rain as much as possible. The man grabbed it and handed the big bun in front of Liu Yu.

Liu Yu looked at the big pancake that was almost soaked by the rain, shook his head and said, "No need, you can keep it for yourself."

The man grinned when he heard the words: "Thank you." He showed his white teeth, then picked up the bun and put it in his mouth.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a huge black shadow came at lightning speed, and the man screamed.

Lin Rantong took a look, only to find that it was a huge bird that lifted the man into the air with its claws. The big bird was all black, with a scissor-like tail and a ring of striking white hair around its neck.

The big bird was extremely fast, and people's exclamations did not come until it paused in the air while grabbing the man.

And the exclamation sound seemed to remind the big bird, it flapped its wings, took the man to fly high into the sky as fast as lightning, and quickly disappeared into the rain.

On the ground, there was still the steamed stuffed bun that the man took a bite of, and it was quickly soaked in muddy water.

　The author has something to say: It's the second update, I really can't afford to hurt you, children's shoes, have a nice weekend.
