Chapter 814 The Tree That Draws Life!
[The abyss demon "Jiang" planted a huge ancient tree in Bolton City! 】
【shock! Within the area covered by ancient trees, there is a chance that creatures can become nutrients for the trees! 】
[Suck an entire city dry, he is the biggest devil! ! ! 】
[The wanted order has been upgraded, and the Star Alliance has sent additional manpower to search for "Jiang"]
[Rescue work has begun, residents of Bolton City please do not panic]
No matter where you are in the city, you can see the huge trees standing in the center of the city.
It has a thick body and dense branches.
Endless shadows twine around the branches, making one's scalp numb just by looking at them.
The day before yesterday it was only a few stories high, but today it was already over 100 meters tall!
As for the "rescue team" the Covenant calls them, it's no different than farting.
At least until now, Beru has not seen any rescuers.
Instead, the patrol kept blasting the loudspeaker, telling everyone to stay in the house. The Star Congress would solve everything and everyone would be safe. Don't leave at will.
What a crapshoot!
Apart from broadcasting, what substantive actions have you taken so far?
Besides, was that really done by "Jiang"?
Beru stared closely at the tree.
The location was impartial, growing in the center of the construction site where he worked.
It is outrageous to think of knocking down buildings and creating a vacant lot in the center of the city.
It is impossible, let alone impossible, that the open space was opened up at the request of "Jiang".
From this point of view, the anomalies in Bolton City are clearly caused by the Star Alliance!
What a bunch of beasts.
Beru felt despair.
Dong dong dong——
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
He approached carefully.
Dong Dong, Dong...
Two short and one long, very rhythmic.
He opened the door a crack.
"Beru, are you leaving? Are you ready?"
The old man's voice outside the door was low.
"I just went to Haisen's house and took a look... There is no one in the house. They must have been sucked dry by the giant tree!"
"Let's run quickly. If we don't run, we might not be able to escape."
The old man spoke anxiously.
"good."
After thinking for a moment and looking back at his daughter with big eyes blinking, Beru made up his mind.
He went back to the house, packed his things, and left.
He and his daughter were wrapped up tightly, and they quickly went downstairs, walked around the back door, and came to a small courtyard.
"Beru is here too, the number of people should be about the same."
"There are dozens of residents in the whole building, and now there are only a dozen of us left!"
"We must leave quickly. These bastards from the Star Alliance have no intention of caring about our life or death!"
A few people cursed, and after gathering the number of people, they no longer hesitated and walked towards the planned road.
The Covenant asked everyone to wait inside the house and not to go out on the streets.
However, the roads outside Bolton City are complicated and there are many lanes, so it is impossible to block them all.
"Shh, please stop talking next time, wait until you leave."
The leader spoke.
The entire team lined up in a long queue, carefully weaving through abandoned garbage dumps and wildly growing green plants.
After walking in silence for a long distance, the leader breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're almost there. There's a small tunnel here. I have a smuggling friend who told me that as long as I get out, I can reach the wild."
He smiled and continued to lead the way, walking forward.
The tunnel is very narrow, and the crystal stones embedded in the passages on both sides exude a gleaming luster.
"Dad, can we go out?"
Weiwei spoke softly.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Beru comforted her.
"Dad, I feel a little uncomfortable." Weiwei whispered.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Beru's expression changed slightly and he held her in his arms.
"I don't know... I feel so dizzy and have no strength." Weiwei's complexion turned from rosy to pale.
The symptoms are exactly the same as those who disappeared!
Beru's heart beat rapidly.
"Everyone, hurry up, my daughter has symptoms!"
He didn't care about calming down and spoke quickly to the front.
"I know, I know, everyone speed up."
Everyone did not hesitate and immediately accelerated their speed.
"dad……"
Weiwei was confused and spoke vaguely.
"Don't talk, stay awake, don't faint! Be good, we can go out soon."
Beru suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"I...I know."
Weiwei pursed her lips and forced her eyes to widen.
His watery eyes looked a little silly.
Unfortunately, it only lasted two seconds, and his eyelids drooped again.
"Can't sleep, can't sleep through it!"
Beru was extremely anxious.
"Don't sleep...I'm not sleepy." Weiwei's voice was thin and weak.
"arrive!"
The leader's voice came, allowing Beru to barely see a glimmer of light.
It should be okay to leave Bolton City, right?
Beru didn't know, but it was better than being trapped here.
Knowing that the little girl was in bad condition, everyone helped her and quickly walked up the stone steps.
But after leaving the exit, I didn't know what I saw. It seemed that the team suddenly became much quieter.
Beru didn't want to think too much, so he hurriedly followed.
A ray of light came into his eyes, and he had to use his hands to block it.
"Weiwei, let's come out. Dad will take you to the hospital right now..."
Beru's voice weakened little by little.
His pupils were shaking, and he stared blankly at everything in front of him.
"Why didn't you say a word when you came out from the front..."
The people behind him muttered and followed, and the moment they left the exit, they all closed their mouths.
Everyone looked in front of them in silence.
Regardless of whether you are brave or timid, your calves will feel weak at this moment.
In front of everyone.
Soldiers wearing black tactical special combat uniforms held black muzzles in their hands.
The dark guns were pointed at several people, and it looked like they might choose to fire at any time.
"We are humans, not monsters. Many people are disappearing in Bolton City. Please let us leave."
"Are you an army? Save us."
The leader mustered up his courage and waved his arms.
The army was unmoved.
After a few seconds of stalemate, a broadcast finally came from the other side:
"Please return to Bolton City immediately and wait for rescue."
? ? ?
Don't you understand what people are saying?
We just escaped from there and now you are holding a gun and asking us to go back? ?
"Please return to Bolton City immediately!"
This time the broadcast sounded much harsher.
The dark muzzle took a step forward, and the uniform movements were full of momentum.
"us……"
"Last warning, please return immediately!"
The voice even carried a stern warning.
Everyone fell into silence.
The leader did not believe in evil and just took half a step forward.
Dudududu——
Tongues of flame burst out from the muzzle of the gun, exploding at the feet of everyone.
Mud splashed, as if it would hit everyone at the next moment.
"Back off!!!"
This time the roar was completely undisguised.
Everyone looked horrified and instinctively retreated.
Beru protected his daughter in his arms.
"My daughter can't hold it anymore!! Please, she's only ten years old, help her!"
"Take her away, I'll go back to the city immediately, please."
He knelt down with a thud and gritted his teeth.
Dudududu——
Tongues of fire mingled.
"Last warning, return to the city!"
