Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 235 Maggots of the Tarsus
The endless crowd, like a giant dragon, slowly walked out of the gate of the base.

In their hands, they all carried a bundle, some made of cloth, some made of leather, and the things inside were the property of these ordinary people.

As the crowd gradually receded, the originally bustling Yaoguang base became empty. Ye Yicheng took a deep look back, turned his head, and thought bitterly, Yaoguang would cease to exist in a short time.

Everyone in Lin Rantong had already inquired with Director Ye's secretary Xiao Zhang that it would take at least half a month to reach the stubborn stone base at this speed.

There are about 200 million people in this team, and food and water have become crucial issues.

Long before preparing to evacuate, Ye Yicheng ordered all the remaining food in the base to be loaded into the car, and if it couldn't fit, it was made into non-perishable cooked food, and distributed according to the share of three days per person.

As for water, in addition to bringing as much water as possible, and encouraging people to go to the river to get water to bring their own, they can only replenish it on the road. Fortunately, the road to the Yaoguang base is the same as a long river. When the team rests, just send someone to replenish the consumed water.

Lin Rantong's space was also filled with supplies at Ye Yicheng's request, but her space was not unlimited, except for her own stuff, which was only enough to support those people for two days.

Calculated in this way, everyone can eat for three days with what they carry, two days with what Lin Rantong carries, and five days with what the transport team carries. It is very likely that you will be hungry later, and now you can only take one step. look at one step.

Probably because this team is too large, and the mutant beasts above the second level who have intelligence do not dare to come out to provoke them. Although those people look weak like bugs, but out of animal instinct, the ant They still know the reason for killing more elephants.

After walking like this for three days, people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, I thought I was going to die on the road." A stout woman said.

The man next to him hugged a seven or eight-year-old girl, and said with a simple smile: "Don't think too much, the government is in charge of us, we save food, and there are no scary monsters on this road. Shi is fine, didn't you listen to what the chief said, the stubborn stone is as good as our Yaoguang."

"En." The woman nodded, and then said strangely: "Hey, why is it dark?" She raised her eyes to look at her man, and suddenly her expression changed, and she rushed over to throw the man and the child together , shouted in his mouth: "Quickly get down."

At this time, more people screamed, and the army shouted hoarsely to get down.

Lin Rantong raised his head and saw a dark patch in the sky, covering the sun, and approached the crowd in the blink of an eye.

It turned out to be a group of strange birds, they stretched huge wings, their beaks were pointed and long, their bodies were bright red, their claws were widely spread, and they were extremely sharp.

They rushed towards the crowd without any scruples, grabbed a person with one paw, and then flew high into the sky.

"Ah, help, I don't want to die!" A person yelled frantically, and then more cries for help came.

Those who got down a long time ago were fine, but those who reacted slowly and kept standing in a daze became the best targets for the strange birds, that is, after about 1 minute of confusion, the huge flock of birds flew away, and at the same time brought Hundreds of fresh lives were lost.

There was a cry from the crowd, and then some people began to scold the troops: "Didn't you say you want to protect us? Why is the strange bird coming? No one cares, and let our relatives be captured by the strange bird?"

The reaction of the public is not as fast as that of the trained soldiers. Although these soldiers are ordinary people, the reaction at the moment when the strange bird comes is much faster than that of the public. In this way, the people who were captured by the strange bird this time were all ordinary people, and the army of one hundred thousand did not lose a single person.

Li Qiang is an ordinary soldier in the army. He is not very old. Hearing this, he couldn't help but said: "At that time we reminded everyone to get down."

"Li Qiang!" The monitor stopped him.

Li Qiang curled his lips aggrieved, stopped talking, and let those emotional people who had lost their loved ones curse.

"Xiao Zhang, where did we go? How could there be such a huge flock of mutated birds?" Ye Yicheng asked with a frown.

Xiao Zhang recruited someone to ask a few words: "Chief, now passing through Qinghai County, I have never heard of so many mutated birds in this location before."

"The order is passed down, everyone is required to stabilize their emotions, especially the army, and not to argue with the people." Ye Yicheng said.

"Yes, Chief." Xiao Zhang responded.

Ye Yicheng turned his head to look at Lin Rantong: "Lin girl, what do you think?"

Lin Rantong pursed his lips and said: "Uncle Ye, when the strange birds attacked just now, I looked at the combat power watch, and they are not of high rank, most of them are between the first and second ranks, but the difficulty is There are too many of them, and they are sneak attacks from the air. They come and go so fast that ordinary people can't react at all, and we have only these people with supernatural powers, and we can only protect the safety of a very small number of people. With so many people, it is impossible to care came."

"Then what do you mean?" Ye Yicheng asked.

Lin Rantong smiled bitterly: "To be honest, those ordinary people can only rely on luck if they want to survive. I can only hope that those strange birds have a fixed range of activities, and we will be fine after we leave here."

Ye Yicheng sighed helplessly. If those tens of thousands of mutants and supernatural beings hadn’t left, they would still be able to resist the surprise attack of strange birds. Let those people go first and survive as much as possible.

Apparently they were optimistic. The first sneak attack of the strange birds was very smooth. The meat of the prey was tender and delicious, which was very suitable for the taste. They became tarsal maggots and came to hunt every three or four hours. Every time, hundreds of lives were taken away, and people's panic became more and more serious.

Especially those who saw the army, the strange bird came and was busy lying down, and did not protect them at all, and the dissatisfaction grew.

"Mom, those big birds are so ugly, I'm afraid." The little girl in the man's arms said to the thick woman.

The woman stretched out her big hands that were dry and chapped from working all day long and touched the girl's face: "Tian Tian, ​​don't be afraid, Mom and Dad are here."

As the woman said this, she couldn't help but glanced at the sky. This action is already a habitual action of people. Sometimes life and death are just a moment, and a small action will have a completely different fate.

After these sneak attacks, people also discovered the trick, which is actually very simple. It is to see who is the fastest to get down when the strange birds attack. There are so many people, and those strange birds are not picky. Arrest who, how convenient how to come.

When the woman raised her head, her liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and she saw a huge bird stretching out its claws to catch it, and the target turned out to be her daughter Tian Tian!
With no time to think about it, and even ignoring a loud reminder, the woman opened her arms, hugged her husband and daughter, and exposed her back to the strange bird.

The man also saw this scene, and he was about to push his wife down, but how could the speed of an ordinary person compare to that of a mutant beast, the strange bird that attacked caught the woman almost instantly.

"Mom—" Seeing her mother being caught, the little girl hugged her mother's thigh subconsciously. At this time, the strange bird had already flown upwards with great force. The man let go of his hand at once, and the mother and daughter Together they were caught by the strange bird and flew into the air.

"Damn it, Tian Tian!"

When everyone fell down, the painful cry of the standing man waving his hands was particularly conspicuous.

Li Qiang, a young soldier next to him, threw the man down immediately.

"Let go of me, let go of me, my wife and children are gone, what am I doing alive?" The man grabbed and beat him hard, Li Qiang snorted, but still held tightly.

Lin Rantong saw the woman who was caught in mid-air, and a little girl was hanging from below. The little girl was crying out of fright, hugging her mother's thigh tightly and not letting go.

"Let go, boy!" one yelled.

"Let go!" more people shouted.

"Let go!" More and more people shouted.

The little girl was not caught by the strange bird, so as long as she let go of her hand and fell, someone would catch her, and she would definitely survive.

At this moment, tens of thousands of people are looking forward to the little girl's survival, not only out of sympathy in human nature, but also because they have been attacked by strange birds for several times, and they have no ability to resist. There is a dead end, if this little girl can survive, it will be a kind of comfort to everyone, as if it is a victory.

Lin Rantong teleported to directly below the strange bird, and then shouted: "Yongjia, vine!"

Lin Rantong exerted a little force on his feet, and then he jumped about five or six meters high. At this time, the vine stretched out by Xia Yongjia, who had cooperated very tacitly, was just shaking in that position, and Lin Rantong's toes were on the vine With a light tap and a bit of strength, the whole person leaped up another ten meters, just in time for the strange bird.

Some people may wonder why Lin Rantong didn't use teleportation. The main reason is that this kind of teleportation to high altitudes is not as difficult to master as when it is flat. Lin Rantong has practiced many times, and sometimes there will still be deviations. At that time, she naturally did not dare to take risks.

"Look, catch it!" people exclaimed.

Lin Rantong held the little girl in one hand, and a dagger appeared in the other hand, and then used the space folding technique to directly cut off the sharp claws of the strange bird.

The strange bird screamed and flew away in embarrassment. Lin Rantong fell rapidly with the mother and daughter.

When they were about to reach the ground, a large net was enveloping the three of them. Lin Rantong glanced at Xia Yongjia appreciatively: "Yongjia, you are becoming more and more proficient in using the heaven and earth net."

Xia Yongjia twitched the corners of his mouth: "Come out, it's so heavy, and the momentum is so strong, my net is about to break."
