Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 74 The Hidden Killer

Lin Rantong and the two rushed to the grain depot, and everyone was relieved to see them.

According to the previous plan, the group successfully transported one hundred bags of flour to the back street. After meeting up, each of them carried two bags to the gate of the town.Of course, there were hundreds of bags of flour in Lin Rantong's space at this time, and she only took a small part in an unnoticed corner. It always feels a little embarrassing to find an empty warehouse after a narrow escape.

It was probably because the controller had gathered all the zombies to surround them, and there were no groups of zombies along the way, only two or three scattered kittens and puppies at most.Obviously, there was no problem with the people who escaped from the sea of ​​corpses, and they soon reached the deep ditch at the gate of the town.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, only to hear Da Fei yelling: "Damn it, the ax ran away in the car!"

Ding Yu comforted: "Forget it, I told him to go back after two hours without seeing us. I always asked him to go back before dark."

"Captain, should we be thankful that he didn't drive away in a truck? This kid, I have to deal with him when I get back. It's only been three hours and he can't wait!" Da Fei said angrily.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and put the flour on the truck, and hurry up and bring the rest of the flour." Ding Yu ordered.

The crowd ran two more times, and finally moved all the flour to the truck.

Although everyone is not an ordinary person, they were sweating profusely after carrying two bags of flour on their shoulders for several times.

Regardless of rest, they still got on the truck as they did when they came. Ding Yu took Da Fei and Lin Rantong and four people got on an off-road vehicle, and the remaining seven people got on another one.

"Captain Lin, it's really thanks to your Ivy League team this time. I will report to my superiors after I go back and pay you double the reward." Ding Yu thanked him sincerely, and then said with a shame on his face, "Actually, I know that even if I It's a double reward, and it's nothing compared to your contribution this time, I'm really sorry, all these flours are used for—"

Before Ding Yu finished speaking, Lin Rantong smiled and said: "Captain Ding, don't be so polite, you should pay us for our efforts, and the double reward is already very good, but we want to replace the flour with second-order crystal nuclei , Don’t you know it’s convenient?” One person has two bags of flour, and the team can get 320 second-order crystal nuclei after switching to crystal nuclei, which is really high risk and high profit.

Ding Yu smiled clearly: "No problem!" Who would be willing to eat flour? Sweet potatoes are much cheaper, as long as they can fill your stomach. It is more useful to replace them with crystal cores. Most of the teams hired by the government choose crystal cores , which is what the government is happy to see.

Although everyone speeded up the car, it was getting dark slowly.

First, the clouds in the sky were covered with a layer of pink glow, and then the color became darker and darker, from pink to bright red, and then from bright red to crimson red, just like red lotuses, from budding to full bloom , blooming layer upon layer in the sky, looking up, one moment feels that it is far away, and another moment it feels as if one can break off a branch with one's hand.

Gradually, the sunset glow faded, and the night slowly fell. The stars in the dark blue sky were shining brightly, blinking and shining brightly, making people intoxicated by it. I don’t know what year it is.

However, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are, just like this poetic and dreamy night.

Suddenly, everyone heard a shrill scream, and then the big truck stopped with a bang.

"Don't move, no one is allowed to get out of the car! Who in the truck has an accident?" Ding Yu shouted.

"Captain, it's Xiao Zhao!" The one who answered him was Xiao Liu, one of the two who was responsible for leading away the zombies.

"Report the situation!"

"Yes, he, he couldn't see the wound, his face was blue, and his lips were black, as if, as if he had been poisoned! Ah—" There was another scream, and it was obvious that Xiao Liu had also been poisoned.

Ding Yu's expression changed several times: "Everyone, don't panic! Hold on!"

Then he smiled wryly, and said in a low voice to Lin Rantong and the others: "I was really hurt by Zhou Mingxin. According to the information I got before, there are at most a few T1s in Mingxi Town. I didn't expect to waste so much time there. I I thought I could get back to the base before dark."

"Captain Ding, what happened to the two people in the truck?" Xia Yongjia asked.

"To be honest, our team doesn't spend many nights outside. There are too many unknown risk factors at night!" Ding Yu sighed. These two men didn't die in the sea of ​​corpses in Mingxi Town, but they died. It was a pity on the way back.

Lin Rantong and the others looked at each other. When they came to the base, they camped at night like that. It seemed that they didn't encounter any danger except for encountering a few mutant beasts. Things like today were even more unheard of.

Lin Rantong took out a clean cloth towel, wiped the dagger repeatedly, and asked, "Captain Ding, what happened to them?"

Ding Yu replied with a heavy tone: "If my guess is correct, they encountered a mutant mosquito beast."

The distance between the two off-road vehicles was very close. As soon as Ding Yu said this, many people gasped.

The number of these mutated mosquito beasts is extremely rare, and they only appear at night, and they hide in corners and become unconscious during the day. If they can be encountered, they are considered lucky. It's not much, but the body contains a strong poison. Once it bites someone, the person who is bitten will die from the poison. It can be said that it is one of the mutant beasts that people are most afraid of encountering at night.

"I guess the two of them didn't close the windows tightly, and the mutated mosquitoes slipped in. Don't get out of the car, everyone, keep going!" Ding Yu ordered, gritted his teeth.

"Captain, what about the truck?" Da Fei exclaimed.

"Give up!" Ding Yu said without hesitation.

"Captain, isn't our work in vain?" a team member shouted.

"Then what do you say, who dares to drive the truck?" Ding Yu asked coldly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped making a sound.

After being silent for a while, Da Fei suddenly suggested: "Captain, we can't get in anyway if we rush back to the base now, why don't we just stay here for one night and go out to drive the truck after dawn."

Eh, yes, I didn't expect that Da Fei usually looks reckless, but he is rough and fine. I was disturbed by the mutant mosquito beast, and I forgot that this thing hides and sleeps at dawn. Ran Tong said: "Captain Lin, it's only an hour's drive away from the base. We can only spend the night outside when we arrive at the base. Why don't we take a rest here and start tomorrow morning?"

Naturally, Lin Rantong and the others didn't raise any objections, but they were still very puzzled why they had never encountered a mutant mosquito beast before.

It was quiet at night, and the calls of various unknown animals were even more clear and permeating.

A thick dark cloud floated across the sky, hiding the stars, and at a glance, it looked like a ferocious beast, opening its mouth to swallow everything on the earth in one gulp.

In this atmosphere, no one was in the mood to speak. Except for two people in each car who were guarded, the rest of the people closed their eyes, not knowing whether they were sleeping or practicing.

Lin Rantong took advantage of this to use her spirit to enter the space. She also discovered a benefit after entering the second level, that is, after entering the space, she can also know about the outside world, unlike before, once she entered the space, she was isolated from the world.

Taking a deep breath, the freshness smelled of moist grass. Lin Rantong didn't dare to take a bath for fear of being discovered by others, so she couldn't resist going to the lower reaches of the stream, took off her shoes and soaked her feet in it.

The cool stream flows slowly, gently caressing Lin Rantong's feet, sweeping away her fatigue.Lin Rantong stretched out his hand to pluck the clean and transparent stream at will, and his spirit relaxed a lot. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he stared at the stream in a daze.

To say that the biggest difference between the few of us and others is that what they drink every day is the stream water in their own space.Could it be that this stream also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes?Lin Rantong picked up a handful of stream water in one hand and thought to himself.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she made sense, because there was really no other reason besides this, and she didn't think that her group of people were all blessed by nature.

It seems that there are still many magical things waiting to be discovered in my own space.

Lin Rantong returned to reality, opened his eyes, and saw Wei Xiuning's deep eyes looking over him, couldn't help smiling, took out a second-order crystal nucleus and handed it over, then closed his eyes and began to practice.

Soon, the first ray of dawn appeared in the morning.

A fire-type superpower from the different four team cremated the two on the truck. Ding Yu received the ashes of the two in two small bags, and smiled at himself: "It's a good end, at least someone collects the corpse .”

Passing through the city gate quickly, ignoring the eyes of people on the street looking at the bags of flour on the truck like hungry wolves, everyone soon came to the special warfare building.After Ding Yu completed the task, Lin Rantong had 320 more second-order crystal nuclei in his hands.

Walking on the street, the four of them felt like they were reborn after a catastrophe.

"Grandma, this task is really not so easy!" Xia Yongjia muttered.

"Sister-in-law, will we still take on missions in the future?" Liu Yu asked with lingering fear.

Lin Rantong looked at the two of them and smiled: "I won't pick it up for now, anyway, it's enough to pick it up once every three months. Let's practice hard during this time." Thinking that he didn't see his son for a day, he couldn't help but quicken his pace , I wonder if the little guy slept well yesterday.

The vermilion door was open, Lin Rantong's expression changed when she saw it, and she teleported into the courtyard, seeing that the doors on the steps were also open, she felt a sinking heart, she dared not make a sound, She quickly teleported into the house and searched inside and out, her legs softened even amidst the crowd of corpses, and she sat down on the open space in the courtyard.

At this time, Wei Xiuning and the other three also rushed in.

"Sister-in-law—" Liu Yu shouted anxiously.

Lin Rantong murmured: "It's gone, but it's gone." A line of tears flowed down.

　The author has something to say: Well, if the children's shoes have recommendation tickets, throw a few to Liu Ye. Of course, it would be better if you keep them.
