Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 253 In the Crystal Coffin
Ye Yicheng leaned forward slightly, his face became solemn: "Could it be the crystal coffin you mentioned?"

Ye Yicheng was very impressed by this incident. At that time, when those elites came back from completing their missions, they were supposed to be rewarded. As a result, Yan Qingwen reported something to Minister Cai, and Minister Cai reported it to him immediately. At that time, he Several leaders in the base were called together for an emergency meeting.

It was also from then on that he paid more attention to Lin Rantong and the masters who came back together, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He made various preparations secretly, so that when the ground subsidence occurred in Yaoguang Base, he was able to do so. Quick and methodical evacuation in batches while minimizing various losses.

"Uncle Ye, that's exactly what happened." Lin Rantong said.

Wei You asked curiously: "What crystal coffin? What charades are you playing?"

"Girl Lin, tell Lao Wei briefly what you saw and heard at that time." Ye Yicheng said.

Thinking of that incident, Lin Rantong's scalp was still numb. She said briefly: "At that time, we were in the zoo in the Children's Paradise and fell into darkness for a long time. By chance, we entered a mysterious valley, and it was also there. The strength of our group has grown by leaps and bounds."

"That's right." Ye Yicheng followed suit and nodded.

Wei You listened intently. At that time, he learned that Yaoguang had so many fourth-tier masters, and heard that most of them came out of the same mission, so he was very curious about that mission.

"There is a waterfall in that valley. After entering, there is a road leading to a stone gate. Once I entered and broke in with curiosity, I came to a place similar to the underwater world. After walking there for a while, there are A boulder blocked the way, I jumped onto the boulder curiously, and I didn’t know anything until I had a glance, and then I returned to the valley in a daze.” Lin Rantong continued, she hid that it was Liu Yuan. Things she brings out.

"What did you see?" Wei You asked.

Lin Rantong bit her lip, and then said: "It's the crystal coffin!"

Wei You looked at Ye Yicheng, Ye Yicheng nodded, and the two continued to listen to Lin Rantong.

At that time, Ye Yicheng heard Yan Qingwen's report, but it was not so detailed.

Lin Rantong continued: "Later, I never dared to go in behind that waterfall again, and I kept this matter in my heart. After a while, most of the team members were promoted to the fourth level. Finally, when we were about to leave the valley, the big eagle in the valley suddenly hinted to me that if something inexplicable happens after we go out, we will come back."

Lin Rantong played a word game here. She didn't say that the big eagle told her, but hinted to her that mutant beasts are known to be intelligent. As for how to hint, it's up to the imagination of the two chiefs.

"We walked out of there and came to Qinglian Lake, the final location of the mission. After all kinds of fighting, there was a thick fog. The fog was so thick that we could hardly see our fingers. I walked around in it. It was easy to go around and found that the place I was in was near the valley. At that time, I suddenly remembered the hint of the big eagle when I left the valley, so I decided to go back to the valley to take a look." Lin Rantong said.

"And then?" Wei You became more and more fascinated the more he listened, and even Ye Yicheng, who already knew the same, listened attentively.

Lin Rantong continued: "Then I entered the valley and told the mutant beasts in the valley about the situation outside. They didn't respond, but pointed to the waterfall. I was a little scared because of the previous experience of entering the waterfall. I went in there head-on, but thinking of the abnormal fog, I still went in bravely. After entering the stone gate, as a precaution, I used the space guarding skill I learned after ascending to the fourth level to wrap myself up."

This space guard is a transparent cover that can cover people within the range. Lin Rantong casually named it Space Guard. Anyway, his own skills have the final say.

"I stayed in the space cover, and the breath on my body was isolated from the outside world. Then I lay down on the big rock and looked in. I was so shocked that I didn't dare to move for a long time." Lin Rantong said .

"See what?" Wei You asked hastily.

Lin Rantong fell into the memories, and her slightly pale face showed her frightened mood at that time: "I saw that there were many, many zombies gathered together, all of them were above the second level, and they were arranged in a strange circle. , because at a high place, I happened to clearly see that in the center of the circle was the crystal coffin that I had seen before! There were seven crystal coffins in total, six of which had their coffin lids opened, six of them The human-like zombies circled around the last crystal coffin in a praying posture, and all the zombies around them knelt down, as if they were holding some kind of ceremony. Chief Wei, do you think these zombies are organized? Wise?"

Wei You straightened his face: "Girl Lin, if this is the case, then they are definitely not just walking dead like we thought before, so hurry up and continue."

"I was so surprised at the time, I forgot any movement for a moment, and saw that suddenly a beam of light descended from the sky, connecting the crystal coffin and the top cover that isolated this place from the water. When the beam of light slowly came out of the When the light turned dark, I saw that the place connected to the top turned into a golden circle, and the six zombies circling around the crystal coffin suddenly knelt down. All the zombies had their foreheads on the ground and their hips were raised high. It was as if they were doing the most revered salutation, without moving, and none of them looked up." Lin Rantong said.

Wei You and Ye Yicheng looked at each other.

Lin Rantong continued: "I saw that the lid of the crystal coffin was slowly opened automatically, and a creature inside that was no different from a human, uh, sat up."

To this day, Lin Rantong doesn't know what to call that thing. You said he was a human, but he was resurrected in such a weird way under the worship ceremony of a group of zombies. You said he was a zombie, but he From top to bottom, there is no place that looks like a zombie at all.

"The zombie also used the same gesture of prayer, looking up at the golden circle on the top. Spots of light began to slowly fall from the golden circle, just falling into the eyebrows of the creature's upturned face, The circle on the top began to dim. I, who had been relieved at the time, suddenly had a very strong premonition that if the circle was completely darkened and all the spots of light fell into the brows of the creature, then it would cause a very terrifying Therefore, I took advantage of the fact that the creature closed its eyes, not knowing whether it was enjoyment or worship, and teleported to the golden circle, and swung the dagger with all my strength to stab it in." Lin Rantong said softly .

"And then?" Wei You asked.

Lin Rantong smiled: "Then the circle was pierced, and the isolated lake water poured in frantically, and then the breach became bigger and bigger, and the water poured in from the sky. I didn't pay attention to anything, just escaped, as for what happened to those zombies, I don’t know.”

After Lin Rantong finished speaking, the three of them were silent for a long time, and finally Wei You sighed: "This is really incredible."

Ye Yicheng smiled wryly: "Old Wei, knowing that zombies are likely to act like humans, what should you do next, the head of the Rock Base?"

Wei You blinked.

Ye Yicheng patted Wei You on the shoulder: "You old guy is really fascinated by the story. Lin girl said so much to tell you that it is true that a large number of zombies are starting to move towards the stubborn stone. Do you really believe it? Anyway, I believed it."

Wei You sighed: "Lao Ye, this matter, whether you believe it or not, is very difficult."

"How to say?" Ye Yicheng asked.

"You also know the current situation. The people of Yaoguang came to the rock and settled down reluctantly. They will live a tighter life in the future. There is also a rush. But if there are really zombies slowly We are encircling the stubborn stone base, what should the common people in this base do, will they move again?" Wei You asked.

Ye Yicheng smiled wryly and said, "You are right. This time, the common people have nothing to do with it."

Seeing Lin Rantong's puzzled expression, Ye Yicheng said: "Girl Lin, to tell you the truth, after dark this time, problems occurred in all major bases, among which the situation in Yaoguang Base was the most serious, and the entire base was destroyed. , had to move. At that time, only the stubborn stone base was safe and sound, and stubborn stone was not too far away from Yaoguang, so after the negotiation of the leaders above, we ordered the people from Yaoguang base to move to stubborn stone. And that People who were affected by the disaster around several large bases rushed to the nearest base spontaneously. At the beginning, the base settled down those who came here, but recently there was news that those bases were already struggling. So if we have so many people, it is completely impossible to move to another base!"

Lin Rantong didn't expect the two chiefs to tell her such a thing, and asked, "What do those two uncles mean?"

Ye Yicheng and Wei You looked at each other again, and Wei You said, "Girl Lin, I will call people to attend an emergency meeting in a while to discuss this matter and see what everyone thinks. You should join in."

Lin Rantong hesitated for a moment: "Isn't this appropriate?"

"Don't think too much, Miss Lin, you discovered this matter, it would be better if you were present." Ye Yicheng persuaded.

Lin Rantong nodded.

Wei You called the secretary and asked him to urgently contact the leaders of various departments for a meeting.

After a while, the secretary hurried in and said, "Chief, all the people have been summoned, but Minister Lin is not in the office. It is said that he seems to have something to go back home."

Ye Yicheng's face darkened slightly, and he glanced at Lin Rantong again without making a sound.

Wei You said: "Then don't wait for him, let's go to a meeting."
