At around eight o'clock in the morning, the sky began to glow with a faint blue light, and the faint light of morning light shone on the earth, awakening the sleeping world.
However, the tranquility of this early morning was broken. A strange thick fog spread from the direction of Shanhai City. Like a giant beast in the darkness, it slowly and continuously expanded, shrouding the entire city in chaos. middle.
The thick fog had a strange aura, as if it was a power from another world, which made people feel inexplicably oppressive and frightening.
Fog filled the air, blurring the originally clear outline of the city. Everything in Shanhai City seemed to have disappeared in the fog, leaving only a vast white scene.
Chen Xiaodong opened the door to the cockpit and placed his feet firmly on the ground. He turned around and looked at the convoy behind him, but he only saw a fog, and the convoy had disappeared into the thick fog.
Chen Xiaodong turned to look at the mecha. Qin Lan said before that the mecha was out of control. It was obvious that the mecha's detection system detected something in the fog, triggering its high alertness. It ignored Qin Lan's control and ran forward. , stay away from the white fog.
Chen Xiaodong looked in the direction of Shanhai again, his eyes narrowed, "It seems that Shanhai City is completely finished!"
He remembered that not long ago, Shanhai City was bombed by countless missiles, but those missiles failed to pose much of a threat to these monsters, otherwise, there would not be such a weird scene.
Qin Lan stepped off the mecha. The sight in front of him made Qin Lan's pupils tremble suddenly, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged into his heart. "What happened to Shanhai City? How could the fog spread outward?"
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of white mist." Chen Xiaodong shook his head helplessly, saying that he knew nothing, "Don't tell me you want to know, I also know what kind of monster caused it."
Chen Xiaodong wondered, "Is it the white mist released by those carrion fighting beasts?"
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaodong couldn't help but shudder. If it was really the white mist released by the group of corpse fighting beasts, it would be too terrifying.
Tang Jiayan came out of the mecha. The sight in front of her made her slightly stunned. "Hey, what kind of plant is this? Why haven't I seen it in the book?"
A delicate flower bloomed quietly by the roadside, its petals burning like fire, in sharp contrast to the desolate scene around it.
A trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she gently approached the flower, leaned over to observe carefully, and was about to reach out to touch the delicate flower, but was stopped by Chen Xiaodong.
Chen Xiaodong stared at the curious Tang Jiayan in front of him, stretched out his hand, pointed at the flower swaying in the wind, and said in a stern tone, "Look at the weather, there are yellow leaves falling for several kilometers around. But this flower is bright alone, Don’t you think it’s incompatible with other things?”
Tang Jiayan looked around and saw that this flower was growing on the roadside. It was really weird. She couldn't help frowning and felt a little confused. When she thought about it carefully, Tang Jiayan retorted, "It's not like there are no plants that bloom in winter.
When Chen Xiaodong came out of the mecha, he clearly did not see the existence of this flower, but now it suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which made him have to wonder whether it was an infected plant.
Out of curiosity, Chen Xiaodong came over and took a look. The shape of the flower was very strange, a bit like a sunflower. It exuded a mysterious atmosphere in the sunlight. The stamen part was even weirder, like a vivid eye, staring at him. .
Chen Xiaodong frowned, feeling more and more that something was wrong with the flower. He cautiously stretched out his right hand and waved it in front of the flower's eyes. The eye in the petals seemed to be alive, swaying with the movement of his hand.
"I'll wipe it!" Chen Xiaodong was shocked, turned around and said to the two of them, "This thing is alive!"
Qin Lan and Tang Jiayan nodded at the same time and cast their eyes on the flower. They noticed that the direction of the flower seemed to have changed slightly. Although it was not obvious, they were sure that the flower had really moved.
Chen Xiaodong was heartbroken. He was a very curious person, and he was born with a stubborn streak. He did not hesitate to reach out and grab the branches of the flowers, trying to remove this strange flower from the soil. Pull it out and see what kind of plant it is.
The next second, when Chen Xiaodong's right hand was about to touch the flower, the flower seemed to sense Chen Xiaodong's unkindness, and the petals closed instantly, and finally, in the eyes of Chen Xiaodong and the others, they burrowed directly into the soil.
This scene happened so fast that people were caught off guard. Chen Xiaodong was stunned, as if shocked by an invisible force. He stared blankly at the place where the flowers disappeared, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
Qin Lan and Tang Jiayan beside them were also shocked and speechless. They felt a chill when they looked at Chen Xiaodong's reaction and then at the disappearing flower.
This flower seemed to be alive, and it reacted instantly after sensing the evil. This was beyond their understanding, and for a moment, the three of them fell into silence.
Chen Xiaodong frowned, with confusion in his eyes. When he was about to get up, the flower burst out of the ground, shocking Chen Xiaodong again, "Damn, this thing has grown up."
Chen Xiaodong looked at the situation in front of him, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of confusion. He was about to get up and leave, but found that the flower broke out of the ground again, and it was twice as big as before, which shocked Chen Xiaodong.
"Damn, this thing has actually grown up." Chen Xiaodong muttered, his heartbeat accelerated, his body involuntarily tensed up, and he quickly retreated away from this weird plant.
Qin Lan and Tang Jiayan stood there, eyes wide open, as if they were frozen. The plant in front of them was so weird that it was completely beyond their knowledge.
Qin Lan seemed to sense something, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he looked towards Bai Wu, his voice slightly nervous, "Have they also encountered this kind of strange plant?"
Chen Xiaodong hesitated in his heart. He knew that there were unknown dangers hidden in the white mist, but it was better to go in and take a look first. He couldn't wait forever. If something happened to the convoy in the white mist, they would not know it at all, and they would not know it. Can't help.
Chen Xiaodong gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind, "You guys wait for me here, I'll go in and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiaodong took a deep breath and stepped into the white mist. The mist was shrouded and hazy, as if he had stepped into another world.
Chen Xiaodong was careful with every step he took, tensed his nerves, and concentrated on observing the changes around him, especially the many potholes that appeared on the asphalt road. Chen Xiaodong walked over and took a look. The pothole was at least two meters deep.
Suddenly, he heard a low buzzing sound, getting closer and closer, as if some huge creature was approaching. Chen Xiaodong's heartbeat accelerated and his palms became sweaty, but he knew he had to stay calm.
A dazzling car light penetrated the thick white fog and shined on Chen Xiaodong. He subconsciously squinted his eyes, trying to see clearly what was coming in front of him.
It was a van. It roared towards him like a steel monster. The sharp sound of tires rubbing against the ground was like the roar of a wild beast, echoing in the white mist.
The car lights were flashing with dazzling light, and Chen Xiaodong felt that his eyes were completely white, as if shrouded in white light. Chen Xiaodong's eyes widened in horror, his heart beat wildly, and adrenaline was secreted crazily.
The driver of the van also looked frightened. He did not expect that a figure would suddenly appear in front of him. He slammed on the brakes, and the tires made a screeching sound against the ground, but the van did not stop immediately.
Chen Xiaodong cursed in his heart, it was really unlucky. As soon as he stepped into the white mist, the convoy appeared like a ghost.
He turned around and rushed towards a patch of grass nearby, trying to avoid the approaching van. But the speed of the van was surprisingly fast, shuttling through the white mist like a wild beast. In the blink of an eye, it had approached Chen Xiaodong, and the huge shadow enveloped him.
Chen Xiaodong's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he felt like he had nowhere to escape. He closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the coming impact. However, that moment never came.
"Holy shit, are you desperate for your life?" The driver rolled down the window, stuck his head out of the window, and shouted at Chen Xiaodong, "If you don't get out of my way, I'll hit you to death."
Chen Xiaodong's whole body was wet with cold sweat, his heart was beating wildly, and he was hit by the van just half a meter away. He looked at the van in front of him in horror. The driver was holding the steering wheel tightly, his face full of anger, and he was obviously very frightened.
Chen Xiaodong closed his eyes tightly, took several deep breaths, and tried to calm down the fear in his heart. He felt a cold wind blowing by, as if it was blowing from the edge of hell, which made him shiver involuntarily.
Seeing that Chen Xiaodong was still there, the driver became even more angry and cursed, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Get in the car quickly, the tanker truck is behind and can't stop him."
"Go a hundred meters further and you will be out of the white fog." Chen Xiaodong finally realized and asked the driver, "What did you encounter in the white fog?"
When the driver heard Chen Xiaodong's words, he was silent for a while and replied with a pale face, "Don't mention it, it's too scary."
"I didn't feel anything was wrong at first, but soon I found that the surrounding scenery became blurry and the visibility dropped sharply. I thought it was fog, but soon realized that this was different from ordinary fog. It was very thick. , and it was bitingly cold.”
"I tried to slow down, but suddenly a black figure appeared in front of me. I thought it was a car, but when I drove closer, the thing suddenly moved. It was like a huge monster, with a twisted body, covered with tentacles, and eyes. It was red. I was so scared that I stepped on the accelerator and tried to get away from that thing."
The driver continued, "But that monster was very fast. I couldn't get away from him even if I pressed the accelerator to the bottom. In the end, it was only with the help of a tanker truck that the vehicle in front of us escaped smoothly."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaodong glanced behind the van. The visibility in the white fog was too low, so Chen Xiaodong turned around and ran away. The driver followed behind Chen Xiaodong in the van.
The driver followed Chen Xiaodong in front of him and walked in a zigzag manner. He was wondering why he was running around like this when he couldn't walk straight. He slowed down the car, looked outside, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Many holes appeared on the asphalt road, each one big enough to accommodate the tires of the next van. These holes are distributed irregularly, like a huge spider web, waiting for prey that accidentally gets caught in the web.
Once the wheels fall into these holes, the vehicle will be unable to move, and the vehicles behind it will not be able to pass. They will be forced to stop and have no choice but to walk.
The driver felt panic in his heart, but he couldn't show it. He held the steering wheel tightly and drove the van behind Chen Xiaodong, carefully avoiding the holes and slowing down so that the cars behind him could also notice the holes.
