The Death Knell

Chapter 41 Plants

Barbara was startled by the situation Su Ming described. If the white light spread wantonly, it would be a terrible thing.

All animals and plants cannot be killed, so people have nothing to eat; but they cannot starve to death, wouldn’t they live in a state of hunger forever? Just thinking about it makes me feel so painful that I might as well die.

Su Ming was still thinking about why there were black light batteries here, and didn't pay much attention to other people's expressions.

Wei Ke even asked Pete to take special pictures of the densely packed zombie corpses on the ground. Regardless of Pete's constant retching, the strong man had already vomited all the contents of his stomach, and now he couldn't vomit anything out.

Cindy walked over to Su Ming and leaned against the wall together. Next to them was the door leading to the next door. She twirled her pistol in her hand, stroking the mesh on the handle.

"What about the black light? You just put that container away, what can it do?"

"The black light that represents death is actually even simpler. It can turn all dead creatures into zombie forms and become slaves of the Black Death Emperor." Su Ming patted Barbara to bring her back to her senses. He opened the door first, and then He continued: "Even people who have died before and were resurrected will be immediately controlled by the black light and return to death. As for other effects... I have a guess, but it needs to be confirmed."

"But those zombies just now seemed irrational. I don't know who the Black Death Emperor you are talking about is, but they are obviously not under control." Cindy kicked a headless corpse, and black blood flowed from it. discharge from the chest.

Su Ming did not see the Black Lantern Corps logo on the zombies' chests, which indeed proved that they were uncontrollable and only acted on instinct.

"I don't know, even this battery shouldn't exist, but there are always secrets in the world." He looked at the corpses scattered around the room and put the pistol back into the holster on his thigh: "Now we have begun to encounter magic or alien energy. It’s a creation, so be careful.”

"Oh, then let them come." Cindy said disdainfully. She also wanted to know what powerful characters these useless scientists could create.

.................................................................

The door opened again. This time the room was beautiful. The various experimental tools were gone, leaving only the green plant world. The floor and walls are covered with moss, and there are vines and fallen leaves everywhere. A huge tree grows here, with high-intensity electric lights simulating sunlight above its head.

Before they came in, there should be no light here. It stands to reason that plants cannot grow without light, but there is a tree here.

No animals have been seen yet, but things like mushrooms and flowers are growing together on the ground, which looks a bit weird.

"The air humidity has increased. Is this a laboratory that simulates a rainforest environment? Or is it a park for rest?" Cindy said. She reached back to stop the others from entering and asked them to wait at the door.

"It's unlikely. Next door is a place where zombies are researched. This place has turned into a park where scientists have lunch and rest. Don't you think it's a bit off-putting? Black light zombies also eat meat."

Su Ming said to Cindy, and tentatively fired a shot at the big tree.

Sawdust was flying on the big tree, and a hole was made by the bullet, but the big tree actually seemed to come alive, and began to shake slightly. The vines around it began to be retracted, and they were whipped at the two of them like whips.

A deep mark appeared on the metal ground between the two of them. This power was a bit stronger than Bliss's dinosaur toy.

The vines were like tentacles stretching out from the lush canopy, constantly dancing in the air, trying to scratch them.

"Okay, so this is Swamp Thing's brother? Forest Thing?"

Cindy and Su Ming rolled to both sides to avoid it. She was still talking to Su Ming in the air, but as she said before, she didn't like dealing with plants because she didn't bring any herbicide with her when she went out today.

"You hide!" Su Ming first shouted to the three people outside the door, asking them to take shelter in the previous room first, and then avoided the entanglement of a vine: "This is a plant, and its weakness is not just herbicide."

Cindy also pulled out a knife to cut off a vine, but a steady stream of vines began to come towards her. She could only avoid it first while shouting to communicate with Su Ming.

"I know! The energy of all plants comes from the greenness of all things. Plants need sunlight and water to grow. Plants cannot survive long if their roots are destroyed. The vines and the tree are in a symbiotic relationship. Flames restrain plants. The key is the one in front of us. What is the weakness of the thing?”

"We don't have the magic to summon hellfire, nor do we have fire superpowers." Su Ming answered her, and the vines chased them closely: "But plants shouldn't have eyes! How does it know where we are? ? Think of Poison Ivy before."

Cindy understood that the Poison Ivy heard the conversation between the two through vibrations. At this time, the plant should also use vibrations to determine the enemy's location.

Then, at the same time, creating a vibration that is much stronger than the running or heartbeat of two people can effectively interfere with the ability to distinguish between trees and vines.

"I know! I'll create the shock, you go and deal with it!"

Cindy took off two grenades from her uniform and threw them to an uninhabited corner of the room. Two seconds later, a huge roar and vibration came.

The vines that were chasing them suddenly straightened up like snakes, swayed slightly, and headed towards the direction of the explosion.

Su Ming's analysis is correct, plants do not have eyes.

He immediately changed the direction of his actions, trying his best to avoid the vines on the ground, and headed towards the tree itself. Cindy is responsible for creating a bigger shock in the periphery than his actions, attracting the attention of all vines.

At the foot of the big tree, there is a piece of soil, where some mushrooms and small flowers grow, surrounding the thick trunk, like a garland on it.

The bark looks pitted, and some metal instruments are wrapped in it. Only the corners are exposed. They are the remains of science that have been surpassed by natural growth.

Its roots are very developed, and the dense roots are unknown how deep underground they are, but each one exposed on the ground is thicker than Su Ming's thigh.

Su Ming didn't have time to think about the growth age of a plant. He took out the explosives from his leg bag and gently fixed them around the roots of the big tree.

Not far away, Cindy was still fighting for time.

After putting a detonator on the explosive, Su Ming left quickly, while signaling Cindy to find cover.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise, and the big tree fell down, countless green leaves and branches fell, and soil and sawdust were flying everywhere.

A stream of green juice splashed onto Su Ming's shoulder armor, and there was a strange grassy smell. He ignored it and stared closely at the movement of the vines in the smoke.

After a convulsive dance like a dying struggle, all the vines fell softly back to the ground.

They both walked towards the center of the room, back to meet up at the remains of the tree.

The explosives shattered the place, and a big hole appeared on the ground, but there was still endless dirt underneath, and it was not a way to the lower level.

Half of the branches on the big tree were pushed away by the explosives. Now you can see that its cross section is densely covered with maggot-like vines. These vines are actually parasitic inside the plant. This explosion , also truncates them, making them out of control.

"It looks like a cable covered with a wooden sheath, with copper wires inside." Like him, Cindy first checked the ground, and then looked at the broken tree.

Su Ming sighed. This thing can't be considered strong, but it can't be considered weak either. It is indeed a good choice for dealing with enemies with cold weapons. Without the speed of Deathstroke, being hit or entangled by this thing will definitely not have any good results.

He said to Cindy who was standing aside: "This tree is no longer a problem now, but we have made a big noise. Falcone should be down there somewhere, and he will definitely notice it."

Cindy sorted out the remaining explosives on her body. There were actually quite a few grenades left. Although more weapons were blown up on the jeep, she still had enough. Even a knife would be enough, but it would cost more. Some strength.

"It's only a matter of time before he's discovered. I'm curious what he will do if he knows we're coming?"
