Chapter 161 161 Burn it all

"I testify that it is indeed this spirited cypress tree that confuses people." The survivors also came over, trying their best to avoid the zombie limbs on the ground, standing around the city defense army, as if this was the only way to A sense of security.

The speaker was a thin man. His face was so thin that only skin and bones were left. When he spoke, you could clearly see his moving joints: "My name is Zhang Jiahang. We are merchants here. When the virus broke out, there were many People were wandering on the streets, and many of us were bitten by zombies and mutated! We hid at home and survived for nearly a month!"

The man was very weak and had to stop after saying a few words.

Zhao Lexi handed over a bag of biscuits and a bottle of water.

The man's eyes lit up: "Thank you!"

He carefully stuffed half a cookie into his mouth and drank a sip of water.

After eating a piece of biscuit, he handed the biscuit and water to the people around him, and continued: "Just when the food was about to be finished, I found that there were fewer and fewer zombies outside, and in the end, they were almost invisible at all. I mustered up the courage to walk out of the house. I knew there was a small supermarket next to the door. I wanted to find some food. On the way there, I saw hundreds of zombies surrounding it, with their mouths open. Hold your head high and look at the tree as if on a pilgrimage."

"I was very scared at the time and wanted to leave quickly. But for some reason, I lost consciousness before I could turn around."

While the man was talking, Zhao Lexi pulled Liu Yang to the root of the tree: "Brother Liu, help me dig out its roots. I think there is something underneath, but I don't know what it is! Let's dig and find out!"

The soil here is all red.

Immediately blood splattered everywhere, and the tree roots made a strange "squeaking" sound.

Zhao Lexi moved without pausing and chopped at another sarcoma. She also chopped that sarcoma from the root of the tree, and the cypress tree let out an even more terrifying scream.

Gao Jue smiled and said: "This thing is really good at pretending to be dead. I don't know if he is really dead this time or if he is pretending to be dead."

Gao Jue stood on the side with a smile on his face and gave instructions from time to time: "Come back, it's a bit off over there."

"So what if he becomes a spirit!" The ax in Zhao Lexi's hand struck down repeatedly, accurately cutting off the roots one by one. As more and more roots are cut off, the roots crawl slower and slower.

"It's still sucking!" Zhao Lexi discovered that the roots of the cypress tree were red. Obviously, it was still absorbing nutrients from the soil and bones, and the two sarcoma trembled slightly.

Soon, the three of them discovered that directly under the thickest root of the cypress tree, there were two long blood-red meat balls. Next to the blood-red meat balls were countless bones stacked together.

"Yes, yes, this direction, dig down in this direction, right against the tree trunk!"

In the end, they stopped moving and lay in the dirt like countless dead snakes.

Zhao Lexi raised the ax in his hand and struck one of the tumors!

"I've really become a sperm!" Liu Yang couldn't help but said.

On the other side, Liu Yang followed Zhao Lexi's command and dug a huge hole under the tree. The two of them stood in the hole, digging deeper and deeper.

The ax was also curled up and thrown aside by Zhao Lexi.

"I woke up once and saw that there were several more people around me, and there were a lot more zombies. I realized what was going on and wanted to run away, but before I could get out of the control of the cypress tree, I lost consciousness again! I woke up again , I saw you!" The man breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he survived.

Suddenly, the roots of the cypress tree seemed to come alive, crawling like snakes and wrapping around Zhao Lexi and the two of them in the pit.

"Third brother!" Zhao Lexi shouted loudly.

"Lele!" Zhao Shikang, who was leading the group to collect energy crystals, hurried over.

"Burn it all!" she said as she jumped up from the pit with Liu Yang in hand. Zhao Shikang followed his instructions and threw a fireball at the thickest tree root.

But it failed to burn.

Zhao Shikang could only throw them at the roots of the tree one after another.

Liu Yang controlled the earth element to expose more roots to the air. Gao Jue and Zhao Lexi picked up dry branches on the ground and threw them into the pit. Seeing this, other survivors struggled to come over with the little strength they had just recovered, helped them pick up dead branches and leaves, and threw them into the pit.

A female survivor couldn't help crying when she saw the numerous bones in the pit!
Zhang Jiahang supported her and explained: "When I went out to look for food, I passed by Sister Chen's house. At that time, their family of four were still alive! My brother-in-law also said that he wanted to go with me, but I didn't let him because he was fat and couldn't run. , let them wait for news about me at home. Now only Sister Chen is left in their family..."

The man didn't say the next words, but everyone understood. Her relatives were probably among the bones and became the nourishment of the cypress tree.

Finally, the fire started.

Liu Yang used all his powers to expose all the roots of the cypress tree to the air. Now he is slumped on the ground, with no strength left.

The roots that were originally as quiet as a dead snake suddenly started to dance and struggle in the fire, making a continuous wailing sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak", which attracted everyone to run over and take a look!
"Is this an animal or a plant?" Li Hong exclaimed.

"It's mutated, who knows!"

"Oh my God! It's blooming!" someone pointed at the crown of the cypress tree and exclaimed.

Everyone looked up and saw that among the dark green leaves of the cypress tree were full of pink fleshy flowers.

Under the tree is a raging fire, in the middle is a broken trunk, with vibrant dark green leaves on top, and delicate flowers blooming in the middle of the leaves!
Half death, half new life!

The strange scenery shocked everyone's vision.

Zhao Lexi was about to marvel at the beauty of this scenery when he suddenly heard Gao Jue's voice: "Plants bloom just to bear fruit and produce seeds! It's almost dead but it still blooms so many flowers. I'm afraid it's unwilling to die!"

Zhao Lexi sighed: "It has killed so many people, so what if you don't give in, it's not..."

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked up at Gao Jue: "You mean, it's about to bear seeds?"

There was a gentle smile in Gao Jue's eyes: "It is dying. It should not have much energy left to produce seeds, but it is willing to waste energy to bloom so many flowers! There is only one possibility, that is, it wants to hide something!"

"Hide its seed!"

"I thought so!"

"Sure enough, he has become a spirit!" Zhao Lexi sighed.

Then he pulled Zhao Shikang and said, "Third brother, burn the whole tree!"

Zhao Shikang just heard the conversation between the two and immediately threw several fireballs and set the tree trunk on fire!

Everyone retreated and continued to collect energy crystals.

Zhao Shikang stayed to observe the fire and ensure that the entire tree was burned cleanly.

Seeing that there was nothing going on here, Zhao Lexi went to find Li Hong, but was pulled to a deserted place by Gao Jue.

"Here you go!" He spread out his hand, and in the center was a cypress seed.
