Chapter 37 Tree Roots

"Let it run away." After several soldiers came out, they shrugged at Li Qingshui.

"Oh, there's no way, it's hard to catch prey." Li Qingshui also smiled back.

"Well, yes, and I feel that even if it doesn't run, it will be difficult for us to deal with it." One of the soldiers who looked more mature and steady said: "It runs so fast and its body is so strong. The bullets of this assault rifle can penetrate It’s not certain how much damage can be caused to it after its fur is penetrated! And the fog is so thick that we don’t dare to shoot for fear of hurting one of our own.”

"That's right." Several other soldiers nodded, "I can only see two or three meters. To be honest, with that giant dog standing in front of me, I can't even see its full picture. It would be a surprise if it attacked me. It’s over.”

Several soldiers exchanged words with each other, and then the anger on their faces disappeared, and then turned into fear.

"Fortunately we didn't catch up, otherwise we might not be able to come back alive!" The mature soldier made a concluding speech, and then smiled at Li Qingshui and others: "You are still amazing, you are here. It can hunt. Our military has also sent people out to hunt, but they can't see any shadows of animals at all. Those domestic animals seem to have returned to their wild nature after mutating, and their alertness is ridiculously high, and they can't see any shadows at all. He ran away without a trace."

"Well, yes, how can we find prey in such dense fog? We also relied on luck to find the prey. No, one of our people almost died because of this." Li Qingshui pointed at Liu Chang, It means "it's not easy for us either".

"He is the one you want to rescue!" Several soldiers looked Liu Chang up and down. "It's great that he is fine. He was only slightly injured. This task is easier than we thought!"

"Yeah, the company commander will give a pound of meat to everyone who says the mission. How long has it been since I've eaten meat..."

"Gudu!" A soldier gulped and said, "Actually, it's only been a few days. The key is these few days, I've barely eaten anything!"

When several soldiers mentioned meat, they all became very excited. Obviously, although the daily "food treatment" of these soldiers is definitely better than that of civilians, it is not much better. Although they have the strength to move, they are all hungry. His eyes turned green.

Li Qingshui took advantage of the time when they were talking happily and asked one of them to borrow a military flashlight, a regular equipment for night patrols, and then pulled Liu Chang aside.

"Would you like to go down there with me and take a look?" Li Qingshui winked at him and glanced in the direction of the sewer behind the thick fog.

"Do you really want to go down?" Liu Chang frowned, "Will you be able to survive if you don't eat enough?"

"I want to see what's going on down there."

"Where do you get so much curiosity?" Liu Chang continued to frown, "Isn't this not like your style? Isn't avoiding danger the choice of a rational person? What are you doing down there if you have nothing to do?"

"The best choice is to predict the danger. I just want to go down and take a look."

"You have to go, but I won't go." Having just come out of that dark and hopeless world, Liu Chang definitely didn't want to go in again - and going in this time seemed so unnecessary.

"Okay, I'll go alone!" Li Qingshui said, walked to the sewer, and slowly climbed down the iron escalator.

"What did he do?" Seeing Li Qingshui disappearing in the mist, the fat man came over and asked.

"I went into the sewer. I don't know what I was thinking." Liu Chang shook his head and stared at the direction of the sewer for several minutes. When he saw that no one came out, he shook his head and said, "No, I have to go down and have a look."

"Then I'll go too." After hearing Liu Chang's words, the little girl who had been standing at his feet silently said quickly: "I'll go where you go."

"Where are you going? Just stay here." As Liu Chang spoke, he pushed the little girl to the side of the fat man and said, "Watch her, I'll call Teacher Li out."

"Yeah." The fat man nodded and grabbed the little girl who was about to follow.

Liu Chang followed the dim black light and dived into the sewer. As soon as he entered the underground, Liu Chang's eyes were already shrouded in darkness.

The world inside was still so dark, so the light of the flashlight Li Qingshui held in his hand looked so sharp and dazzling here. After Liu Chang climbed into the underground world, he first saw the light coming from Li Qingshui's hand.

That beam of light. The light was emitted through the flashlight and imprinted on the dark wall, reflecting the roots of a huge plant.

But when he came to this world that frightened him again, Liu Chang had no intention of looking at any plant roots. He pulled the last iron escalator frame with his feet barely touching the ground. Liu Chang shouted towards the light source: "Teacher Li, come up quickly.

"

"There is no danger here." Li Qingshui smiled at Liu Chang, which made the smile look particularly scary because of the light of the flashlight. "Come and take a look, the scene here is so strange."

"What's so strange? Isn't it just some plant roots?" Liu Chang still couldn't reach the ground.

"No, this is a grand world!" As he spoke, Li Qingshui flicked the flashlight in his hand, letting the weak beam of light follow his arm and sweep across the entire underground world.

Later, Liu Chang saw how grand and prosperous this world was!

They are full of plant roots. Some are attached to the walls, some run through the entire sewer, and some go deep into the ground. It is as if these huge plant roots have occupied the underground world of the entire city, wherever the light can reach.

Everywhere he could see were thick rhizomes. This strange sight made him think of the mythical and legendary World Tree.

"What... what is this?" Seeing this strange sight, Liu Chang walked down the escalator unconsciously, touched a root next to him that was several times thicker than his waist, and asked

: "Which tree's root is this?"

"I don't know. It's not in this area at all. It extends from a distance." Li Qingshui said, knocking off Liu Chang's hand that was stroking the roots of the plant, and continued: "Don't touch it, there is acid on it.

Be careful of your hands being corroded. In fact, I suspect these rhizomes are aggressive, but they seem to be dormant now and have not touched us."

Before Li Qingshui finished speaking, Liu Chang saw a few tiny rhizomes squirming slightly under the light, like the weak breathing of a sleeping person - not standing still like ordinary plants.

It was motionless there.

"No wonder there are no sewer monsters here. They are all absorbed by this plant?" Seeing these wriggling plant roots, Liu Chang suddenly thought of the scene where they swept over him overwhelmingly, wrapped themselves in the digestive juices, and then absorbed them.

I couldn't help shivering, "Let's go quickly, it will wake up in a while and we will finish playing."

"I want to collect some samples before leaving." Li Qingshui said, pulling off a piece of rag from his clothes, wrapping his left hand, and then took out a knife with his right hand from his arms, and cut off a section with a "swish" sound.
