spooky invasion

Chapter 344 Plants are also crazy?
This weird scene made everyone else look at each other in blank dismay. Some bad associations couldn't help popping out of their minds, and they felt scalp numbness.

Normal plants are cut off, and no matter what happens, it is impossible to bleed out.

Du Yifeng grabbed the engineering shovel and rushed to the courtyard opposite, hacking at the hibiscus tree over there.

Compared with Jiang Yue's crisp and sharp technique, Du Yifeng's few strokes paled in comparison, and even made his eyes a little hot.

But at this time, everyone's thoughts are not on this.

Pairs of eyes stared at the branches split by Du Yifeng.

From the split opening, a little milky white liquid overflowed, and after a while the wound solidified and no new liquid would emerge.

No contrast could be more stark than this.

The faces of the girls were particularly ugly. Xu Chunru asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Could it be..."

"Could it be that plants can eat people?" Yu Siyuan murmured.

"Dig it out and have a look."

Jiang Yue walked to the hibiscus tree with the most blooming flowers, waved the shovel, and quickly dug.

Seeing this, the others also joined in.

Not long after, Jiang Yue went down with a shovel, as if he had encountered some obstacle, he quickly turned over the surface soil, revealing a corner of the soil, which was clothes.

Digging deeper, the clothing was completely dug out.

There are still bone and flesh residues inside, and it looks unusually fresh.

"Ow..."

Seeing this scene, several girls covered their mouths one by one, retching.

Fortunately, I didn't eat breakfast, otherwise I'm afraid I'd vomit out all the meat and vegetables.

"It's Jiye's clothes..." Du Yifeng had a gloomy face, and he couldn't hear any joy, anger, sorrow or joy from his tone.

Digging further down, coats, trousers, belts and other items continued to appear, and even skeleton hair was exposed.

"Forget it." Jiang Yue stopped the shovel, "Stop digging."

If you dig any further, it will definitely be even more tragic.

Jiang Yue told everyone to fill it back with soil.

Everyone's heart is extremely heavy.

If it was a bit of a fluke before, everyone felt that they were missing, so they might not necessarily die.

Clothes and bones completely shattered their illusions.

Especially Yu Siyuan, who seemed to be crushed by this cruel fact, was also on the verge of collapse emotionally, looking depressed and pessimistic about the future.

"Siyuan, cheer up." Xu Chunru comforted.

Du Yifeng said coldly: "Now is not the time to be sad. You can either die with them, or you can only cheer up. As long as the rest of us don't fight among themselves and stay together, we may not be able to leave alive."

"Look elsewhere." Jiang Yue was undoubtedly the calmest one.

In fact, Jiang Yue himself was not optimistic about Zhang Jiye's pissy nature.

In the sunny age, you can be arrogant and domineering, and you can be mean and stupid.

Today is a strange era, and monsters don't recognize your identity, no matter whether you are a son of a powerful or not.

When they returned to the main road, Du Yifeng shouted, "Is there anyone still breathing?"

He yelled several times in a row, but no one responded.

A few people didn't give up, wandering around the hotel area, shouting along the way.

But after walking around, there was no response at all.

"Isn't there no one alive?" Du Yifeng's tone was complicated.

He is not a person who cares about other people's life and death. Even if all the people in the hotel area die, he will not feel sad with a high probability.

Just because he wasn't sad didn't mean he wasn't fluctuating.

Just because he's not sad doesn't mean he's not afraid.

"Forget it, Yifeng, save some energy and stop yelling." Jiang Yue persuaded.

Du Yifeng said dejectedly: "I've grown up so much, I've never been so eager to see living people. Jiang Yue, don't you think they're all dead?"

Jiang Yue shook his head: "No."

Both Xu Chunru and Han Jingjing looked at Jiang Yue with questioning expressions.

"There are people in many homestays, but they just don't want to show their heads." Jiang Yue explained.

"The sun is shining on our buttocks, what are you worried about? Didn't you see that we are all doing activities outside?" Xu Chunru thought to himself that these people are too cautious, right?
"Maybe I was scared out of my wits last night?" Han Jingjing said.

Jiang Yue smiled wryly: "It's true that I was scared out of my wits last night, but they didn't want to come out, not necessarily because of what happened last night. They might be afraid of us."

"Afraid of us?" The three girls were startled at the same time, not understanding the meaning of these words.

"After what happened last night, most of the survivors are frightened and unavoidably suspicious. The five of us may seem like a great threat to others."

In today's situation, it is extravagant to talk about trust between people.

At this moment, anyone who survived by chance would like to pack themselves into a hedgehog to avoid all sources of danger.

Of course, those who refuse to come out may not be all because of fear.

Jiang Yue reckoned that there are also some people with strong minds, and in this case, they have their own little calculations.

Jiang Yue had already noticed the strange summon for the first time last night.

At that time, most people were manipulated by the strange summons, but it was obvious that a few fish that escaped the net did not appear.These people must have been hiding in their respective rooms at the time, watching what happened.

These fish that slipped through the net included that Brother Hao in the hotel area.

Those who can escape the first weird call must also be able to escape the second.

Although Jiang Yue didn't know much about this weird summoning, he could vaguely feel that the second weird summoning was not as strong as the first one.

For the first time, those people were recruited almost at the same time.

The second time, Han Jingjing and the others at least had some instinctive resistance, and they didn't fall for the first time.

Hearing that there are still people alive, for some reason, everyone's mood has been slightly relieved.

"Go to the hotel area to have a look." Jiang Yue suggested.

"By the way, find something to eat." Du Yifeng nodded.

To Jiang Yue's surprise, none of the dozen or so people in the hotel area was missing!

When Jiang Yue saw Brother Zhi, he was in high spirits, and seemed to have had a good rest last night.

Brother Zhi laughed out loud when he saw Jiang Yue and his group's surprised faces.

"Brother, don't you think it's incredible?"

It really is.

Jiang Yue asked curiously, "Brother Zhi, how did you do it?"

Brother Zhi patted Brother Hao on the shoulder beside him: "Thanks to Ah Hao, Ah Hao seems to have a special physique and is immune to weird summons. So, we came up with a stupid idea."

"what?"

"When we rest, we tie ourselves up."

Can this work?

Jiang Yue was deeply suspicious.

But he didn't intend to delve into it.

The hotel area has an advantage that the homestay area does not have, and that is unity.

Because they were targeted by people in the hotel area before, coupled with the small number of people, a weak heart of common hatred made them more united with each other.

Of course, this unity is also relative.

If there is no harm to each other, when there are common interests bound, and there are common hostile goals, this kind of unity is taken for granted.

But if there is a threat to themselves, whether they are united or not, that's another matter.

It can be seen from the fact that Brother Hao stayed behind closed doors during the first weird call and did not intervene, it can be seen that there is a limit to the unity between them.

Why did Brother Hao shoot again the second time?Obviously, it was because of the experience of the first weird summoning, let him know that there is no threat to him if he helps out.

Coupled with the fact that they are all in the hotel area, if he continues to play dumb, he will be isolated by others.

After all, in the hotel area, Brother Zhi's prestige and charisma were far stronger than him.It is understandable that he did not make a move the first time, but if he is insensitive the second time, it is naturally unjustifiable.

Brother Zhi hooked Jiang Yue's shoulder affectionately: "Brother, just now I heard someone yelling at your side, asking if anyone was panting. It won't be so miserable in the hotel area, right?"

"The situation is not optimistic."

"Dead?" Brother Zhi, a steady man, couldn't help but change color.

Although there is indeed a conflict between the hotel area and the homestay area, this conflict is not a grievance, it is just a grab for territory, and it is not an endless hatred.

I heard that the homestay area is very tragic, but the psychology of the rabbit dying and the fox's grief is far better than gloating.

"It's not enough to die, I estimate that less than one-third of the population is alive."

The hotel area was really taken aback.

Less than one-third of the living population?Doesn't that mean that dozens of people were killed and injured in the hotel area, and there were no more people left than in the hotel area?

This is too miserable.

For a moment, the people in the hotel area were both surprised and grateful.

From this point of view, arriving late last night was a great thing.

Those who arrived early snatched up the B&B area. They originally wanted to be safe and clean, but who would have thought that they would end up snatching the death area?
"Oh, unexpected, unexpected..." Brother Zhi sighed in a daze.

"Forget it, forget it, let's eat first."

It's all like this, the anger in the hotel area has dissipated early yesterday, and the so-called hostility in the hotel area and the homestay area has even disappeared.

People are so miserable, do you still remember the grudge?

Not only should you not hold grudges, but you should also be grateful.

If it wasn't for those top-notch guys in the hotel area who took the lead, they would probably be the ones who stepped on the thunder.

Jiang Yue was pulled affectionately by Brother Zhi, but he was still quite curious in his heart.

When I was in the house last night, apart from the weird call, there were obviously other monsters attacking.

In Jiang Yue's room, hair-like filaments appeared.

But Zhang Jiye and the others were obviously devoured by the plants in the yard.

Even many people in the hotel area were attacked by various monsters.

Isn't there one in the hotel area?

It seems that the defense of the hotel area is not stronger than that of the hotel area.

Around the hotel area, there are also various plants.

Jiang Yue walked into the hotel lobby, and when he saw the chandelier in the lobby, he suddenly felt something.

Could it be because of the power supply?

There is electricity in the hotel area, and the lights are bright everywhere, and monsters are afraid of light, so is the hotel area spared?
At first, this was just Jiang Yue's guess.

After thinking about it, it became more and more possible.

To say that the only difference between the hotel area and the homestay area is the power supply.

Apart from this, Jiang Yue couldn't think of any other reason.

There is no shortage of people in the hotel area.

In terms of probability, this is obviously unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue couldn't help asking curiously, "Brother Zhi, apart from the strange call, did the hotel area encounter any other attacks last night?"

"Other attacks? For example?" Brother Zhi was surprised.

Seeing that this reaction didn't look like a fake, Jiang Yue briefly explained Zhang Jiye's situation.

Plants eat people?

All of these people in the hotel area were surprised and dubious.

Even many of them don't even know what the hibiscus tree looks like, so it is completely unimaginable to say that the hibiscus tree cannibalize people.

The food in the hotel area is indeed rich and well preserved, and the weather is not bad.

It's just that after this long night, everyone's appetite is not very good.Especially Xu Chunru and the others lost their appetite when they thought of the digging scene before.

After hastily filling in some things, Jiang Yue and the others bid farewell.

When passing by the hotel area, Jiang Yue and the others did not stay, but just passed through silently.

It is to return to Star City, give up this assessment, and save your life.

Or take the risk and bite the bullet and continue the assessment task?

Jiang Yue left this choice to Du Yifeng and the others.

Du Yifeng didn't hesitate: "Come here, if you don't accomplish anything and go back in despair, don't people laugh at you?"

But Yu Siyuan said: "It is reasonable to say that the hotel area should be regarded as a relatively safe place. Last night was so tormented. If we continue to stay in the ecological park, other places will only be more dangerous. The task is important, and it cannot be more important than life. Bar?"

"Siyuan, I have no objection if you want to go back." Du Yifeng said lightly.

"Sister Ru, what do you say?" Yu Siyuan was a little uncertain and wanted to drag Xu Chunru along.

"Going back at this time, I really can't explain it. How can we tell our family? How can we hide in the villa all night? We also lost two companions? This is still an awakener? What will the high-level people think of us? What will the common people think? What do you think of us?"

Although Xu Chunru felt that her future was unpredictable, if she just returned to Star City like this, it would be embarrassing for her.

Han Jingjing is very principled and follows Jiang Yue in everything.

If Jiang Yue wanted to leave, she would withdraw.If Jiang Yue wanted to stay, she decided to stay.

In the end, Yu Siyuan was still more stubborn than Du Yifeng and Xu Chunru.

Although she really wanted to be a deserter, but she was required to go back to Star City alone, the journey was long, and she felt guilty.

Their next destination is Didi Paradise, which covers an area of ​​several hundred hectares.

Du Yifeng's specific mission area is this Didi Paradise.

And Xu Chunru's mission is in the ecological botanical garden.

Han Jingjing's mission area is in Immortal Valley.

Jiang Yue didn't have a clear mission area, but according to his investigation, Professor Lu and Assistant Zuo's activity area before they disappeared should also be in Immortal Valley.

In other words, of the four major areas of the ecological park, except for the B&B and hotel area where they stayed last night, they had to go through the remaining three areas.

Jiang Yue also told Du Yifeng the ugly words in private.

If Du Yifeng completes the mission in Didi Paradise, either Du Yifeng will go with them to the next mission, or Du Yifeng will return to Star City alone.

Anyway, Jiang Yue's promise was to protect Du Yifeng's personal safety during the mission.

Du Yifeng was a little bit resistant at first, but Jiang Yue's attitude clearly could not be refused.

Of course, Jiang Yue also had the same attitude towards Xu Chunru, without favoritism.

After some trekking, they arrived at the gate of Didi Paradise.

The construction of Didi Paradise took a lot of thought, and every detail was done in place, creating a dream world that is completely different from reality.

As soon as visitors enter the gate, they seem to have entered a fairy tale world.

However, the architectural layout of the fairy tale world is still there, but the atmosphere of the fairy tale world is gone.

On the empty main road, there are a few pieces of residual garbage floating from time to time, which undoubtedly adds to the desolation, and it is more like switching to a horror world.

On the square on both sides of the main road, there are various cartoon characters of different shapes, each of which is seven or eight meters high.It was originally the theme of welcoming guests into Didi Paradise, but at this moment it is inevitable to feel depressed.

It seems that these giant cartoon characters will turn into monsters at any time, slap them down, or step on them with a big foot.
