Chen Xiaodong was dragged along the asphalt road by the roots. He struggled to free himself from the restraints, but every time he tried, he only got entangled in more roots and was unable to move.

Chen Xiaodong's body was tightly bound to the ground, like a bound rice dumpling. He could only let his roots be pulled and go in an unknown direction in the white mist.

Cao Hui was driving a tanker truck when he saw a man tied by tree roots on the road. He didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that those tree roots had started eating zombie corpses again.

After all, they have seen this kind of thing many times. But it is still unclear in my heart. Zombies need to destroy their brains and hearts to die, while mutant beasts only need to destroy their brains.

But mutated trees have neither hearts nor brains, so how to destroy them is to use fire?

Those trees that move are not too slow, and their roots can form a barrier that cannot be burned by flames.

The little white dog smelled Chen Xiaodong's scent and wanted to jump off the roof of the car to save Chen Xiaodong, but Xu Xiaosong reached out and pulled him back.

Seeing this, the little white dog barked wildly, as if complaining that Xu Xiaosong refused to save him. Instead, he was lightly kicked by Xu Xiaosong.

Xu Xiaosong was still cursing, "What, are you hungry? When we get out of the white fog, I'll open a can for you. What's delicious about the corpses of zombies? Be careful of mutations after eating them!"

The little white dog looked at Xu Xiaosong, was that canned food for him? It is full of canned vegetables. It wants to eat meat. As long as Chen Xiaodong is rescued, Gu Xiaoyu will give it delicious ham sausage.

Wanting to get here, the little white dog was ready to jump off the roof of the car again, but Xu Xiaosong on the side directly lifted the back of the little white dog's neck, threw it toward the sunroof, and threw the little white dog directly into the cab.

Seeing that the little white dog still wanted to climb out of the cab, Xu Xiaosong closed the sunroof directly to eliminate the little white dog's worries.

"Damn! Dogs really can't change their habit of eating shit!" Xu Xiaosong cursed at the little white dog in the cab, "What do you like to eat? You just like to eat zombie corpses. If you eat too many corpses, it will mutate. , what if he starts attacking us? Will he make you stew?"

Seeing that the sunroof was closed, the little white dog started to attack Cao Hui who was driving with his two front paws, trying to force Cao Hui to stop and save Chen Xiaodong.

However, Cao Hui did not tolerate the little white dog at all. He stretched out his hand and slapped the little white dog on the head. The slap made the little white dog dizzy and could only sit in the passenger seat and growl unwillingly.

On Chen Xiaodong's side, when he saw the oil tanker passing by him, he wanted to call for help, but a tree root strangled his neck tightly, making him unable to call for help.

Seeing the little white dog smelling his scent, he wanted to rescue him. Such great hope was blocked by Xu Xiaosong on the roof of the car.

Chen Xiaodong's eyes widened and his heart was filled with despair. His life-saving straw was ruthlessly taken away.

Chen Xiaodong's heart is about to break. Why are you, a living person, so angry with a dog? If it jumps off the roof of the car to save me, will it make you lose a piece of flesh on your body?

In desperation, Chen Xiaodong could only choose to save himself, trying to break free from the tree roots wrapped around him, but the tree roots seemed to know the weaknesses of human beings.

The way it bound Chen Xiaodong was particularly unique, basically binding all of Chen Xiaodong's movable limbs and joints.

Chen Xiaodong tried to struggle, but every struggle only made the tree roots wrap around him tighter, leaving him with nowhere to vent his strength.

As time passed, Chen Xiaodong was dragged by the roots to several big trees. These big trees looked strange. The roots had separated from the soil and looked very strange.

The roots of those big trees are no longer simple plant roots. They seem to have a life of their own, crawling along the ground.

Their roots are like countless flexible snakes, twisting and coiling on the ground, forming strange patterns.

The sight in front of him frightened Chen Xiaodong, "Oh no! A tree that eats people?"

When Chen Xiaodong saw the strange flower, he had a guess, that is, whether the plant in the white mist would mutate.

This scene now directly dispelled Chen Xiaodong's conjecture that the plants in the white mist not only mutated, they could not only move, but also eat people.

"Brother Shu, let go, I'm a zombie!" Chen Xiaodong started to talk nonsense in order to survive, "Don't eat me, I'm really unpalatable and not as delicious as those delicate humans. As long as you let me go, I'll find it for you." A group of humans are coming.”

But Chen Xiaodong couldn't make any sound and could only chant silently in his heart, hoping that the trees would understand his voice, show mercy and let him go.

Perhaps the big tree understood Chen Xiaodong's thoughts, and all the roots wrapped around his body were withdrawn. In an instant, the restraints on Chen Xiaodong's body were completely gone.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaodong crawled on the ground and ran out. He can hunt zombies and mutant beasts, but how to kill a moving tree? The book doesn't say how to kill it?

Use the snake-beating method, hit the snake seven inches away, and cut off the roots of the entire tree? Since it can move, it obviously doesn't care about the few roots under its butt.

"It's raining?"

Chen Xiaodong ran less than two meters when he felt the rain above his head. When Chen Xiaodong raised his head, he saw a tree falling. Chen Xiaodong didn't even have any time to react before he was crushed by the tree.

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was suppressed by Tathagata, leaving only one head outside Wuzhi Mountain, while Chen Xiaodong was knocked to the ground by a tree, leaving only one head.

The former did not eat or drink, and just had to wait for Tang Sanzang to come to rescue him. The latter, after being absorbed by the big tree, turned into a pile of dead bones. The comparison between the before and after is not at all the same magnitude.

"Come here!" Chen Xiaodong was really unable to move at this time, so he shouted with all his strength, "Come here, someone, come and save me, I'm trapped under Wuzhi Mountain."

In the distance, the moment the oil tanker truck drove out of the white fog, Xu Xiaosong frowned. He seemed to hear something. He listened carefully, and the voice became clearer and clearer. It was a cry for help!

Xu Xiaosong's heart tightened and he realized something was wrong. He quickly turned his head and looked back, but he only saw a white fog and couldn't see anything clearly.

"Huh? My misunderstanding?" Xu Xiaosong said to himself in confusion.

"Old Cao!" Xu Xiaosong felt uneasy, opened the sunroof, and asked Cao Hui in the driver's seat, "Did you hear the shouting?"

Cao Hui shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "The plants in the white mist are very weird. It's not surprising that you can hear the sounds. Perhaps they are using this sound to attract survivors to rescue them." It. Maybe if we follow the sound, we will step into a trap."

Xu Xiaosong's brows relaxed, and the doubts in his heart seemed to be swept away by Cao Hui's words. He looked around. The unknowns in the white mist were really unsettling. Who would go out of their way to run into the white mist?

The plants that were originally stationary, moistened by the white mist, began to mutate and move around. Perhaps some of the plants began to make seductive calls in human language, luring the survivors into their traps.
