The news from the northwest took a little longer due to the distance, so Wu Chengyue only just found out that Sikong Chen had retreated. Lin Qiao was already on the way back with her troops.
A slightly modified convoy was still moving at high speed on the highway, but the last car had a big mushroom growing on top of it. It was blown by the wind, but it still stood firmly on top.
"Awooooo ~ ~" In Lin Qiao's car, a young tiger was pouncing on the side of the window, roaring out from time to time.
Lin Qiao sat in the passenger seat and turned her head to the back and said, "Can you be quiet? You won't be able to run for long, even if you aren't tired, I am! "
The little tiger's running speed wasn't slow, but it was still too small, so it didn't have enough stamina. If it was released to run behind the convoy, it would only be able to run for half an hour before collapsing. The mushroom also liked to run, but after running for a few hours, it jumped onto the roof of the car and refused to move.
Only Er Wang and Da Hei were leisurely running in the woods by the roadside. Because of their level 6 stamina, they could run for a few days and nights without stopping, and the speed of the car wasn't very fast. To them, it was like jogging.
In fact, the mushroom was the same, but it seemed to be tired of running …
"Awooo!" After Lin Qiao said that, the little tiger turned its head and roared at her. Then, he lay on the chair and flicked his tail left and right.
"When do you think Blue Land will find the level 8 energy core for you?" Duan Juan asked while driving.
"It shouldn't be long, didn't you notice? After the second outbreak of the virus, the strength of the mutant beasts and plants increased, and their speed of leveling up also increased. Otherwise, how could we see two level 8 mutant beasts together? Now the frequency of level 6 and 7 mutant beasts is quite high. "Lin Qiao looked out of the window and said lightly.
"That seems to be true." Duan Juan thought about it and realized that it was true.
"However, the speed of human mutants has slowed down, while the zombies have increased." Lin Qiao continued. Suddenly, she looked at the road in front of her and said, "Stop the car."
"Screech —" Duan Juan slammed on the brakes and stared in front of her in confusion. She then turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"
"Wu wu wu —" The little tiger behind suddenly let out a low warning sound.
Duan Juan looked in the rearview mirror and saw that it had begun to shrink. Its back was arched, its limbs were tucked under its body, and its tail was curled under its belly. He bared his teeth, and the two round little ears on his head were pressed down. His eyes seemed to have seen something terrifying, and he revealed a somewhat panicked expression.
"There's something in front." With a serious expression, Lin Qiao opened the car door and got out. He stood beside the car and began to carefully observe the surroundings.
They were on a highway with mountains on both sides. There were no towns nearby, so it was a bit desolate.
Lin Qiao felt a familiar yet uneasy aura slowly approaching them.
However, she could not sense the source of this aura.
She sniffed the air around her, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. However, she could still feel that something was approaching.
"What is it?" Duan Juan also got out of the car and walked to her side. She carefully looked around and asked.
Lin Qiao raised her hand and directly put the little tiger and the car into her space. Then, she shouted to the people behind, "Be careful!"
After everyone got out of the car, Lin Qiao put all the cars into her space one by one, leaving only the people outside.
After hearing Lin Qiao's shout, everyone immediately focused their attention and vigilantly observed their surroundings.
At this moment, there was a slight tremor on the ground of the highway.
"Underground …" Li Kui looked down at the ground and said aloud.
Everyone could already feel the tremor coming from underground, and not above ground.
Lin Qiao frowned, and suddenly, a bad feeling flashed through her heart.
"Everyone be careful, the thing coming down might be the same type as those Multi-eyed Monsters!" She reminded everyone, then jumped up and landed on top of a tall mutated tree in the forest not far away. She stood tall and was ready to wait for the thing underground to appear.
When everyone saw what she did, they all followed suit and jumped onto some tall trees.
After waiting for a full ten minutes, the ground of the highway began to shake violently, and then cracks began to appear on the road. The cracks were slowly getting bigger and bigger, and a dangerous and disgusting aura gushed out of the cracks along with a thick black gas.
"What is that?" Shui Mingjun frowned and asked in confusion.
Ink, who was standing on the same branch as him, said expressionlessly, "I don't know, it probably isn't anything good. The smell is disgusting! "
Saying that, she frowned and moved her nose, but in the end, she couldn't help but pinch it with her hand.
Looking at the others, all the zombies were covering their noses with their hands.
Shui Mingjun sniffed strangely and then said, "Why do you all seem to smell a very bad smell, why can't I smell it?"
Ink looked at him and said in a nasal voice, "Because you're not a zombie, do you want to try becoming like us?"
Shui Mingjun shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, no need."
Lin Qiao also covered her nose, it was a strange smell that was very pungent to her. It was very unpleasant and irritating to their noses. It was also very disgusting!
"Woof woof woof! Woof woof!!! " Er Wang was also jumping left and right on the side of the road, barking at the cracks with his teeth.
Only the mushroom spirit and the big black snake slipped into the forest and disappeared, not knowing where they went. Obviously, they felt that it was too dangerous here and they couldn't handle it, so they didn't dare to stay.
"Could it be the thing you guys saw before?" Duan Juan stood on the same tree as Lin Qiao, but her position was lower than Lin Qiao. She squatted on the branch and looked down at the situation on the other side of the highway.
Lin Qiao shook her head, her eyes were a little more alert as she stared at the cracks on the road and said, "No, the aura is different. And the energy in this black gas is also different, it doesn't seem to be the same species. "
The ground was still shaking, and the cracks were getting bigger and bigger. The black gas that gushed out of the ground began to spread in all directions.
Lin Qiao carefully stared at the plants that the black gas came into contact with, and sure enough, the situation that she saw with the multi-eyed monster appeared.
The plants instantly lost their vitality and withered, but the surroundings didn't turn pitch-black like the area with the multi-eyed monster.
Instead … it was a dim yellow. After the plants withered, they instantly turned into yellow sand and dust that scattered in the air.
The air quality in this area instantly dropped.
