With the injection of the potion, this huge heart slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, from beating three times in two seconds to beating once in three seconds.
"It seems to be working!" Captain Wang said in surprise.
"Well, as long as it works, let's go, let's saw open its head and perform brain removal surgery on it."
"Commander, won't you give it another shot?" Captain Wang hesitated.
"No, too much is not enough. You can just send two soldiers to guard here. If the effect of the medicine is over and we haven't finished the work, we will give you another shot in time."
"Okay, Gao Tong, Guan Hai, you two just stay here and contact me via the walkie-talkie if you have any questions."
"Yes, company commander." The two soldiers who squatted down to lend him a shoulder responded in unison.
Meng Qingxiao left the snake beads and the remaining two anesthetics for the two of them, and then left with the other four.
The work of sawing the tree roots must be done on the ground. There are too many and thick roots below, which makes it difficult for them to let go. Moreover, because of the large hole, it becomes an altitude operation, which is even more difficult to handle.
There was no work to be done below. Company Commander Wang moved all his soldiers to the ground and followed Meng Qingxiao in a mighty march towards the mutated black locust.
They quickly came within the attack range of the mutated black locust, but due to the anesthetic, these thick tree roots were now lying on the ground motionless.
Finally seeing the mutated black locust, everyone stopped briefly.
Meng Qingxiao asked Zhang Ying before if this tree had eyes, and Zhang Ying said no. But now Meng Qingxiao started to be a little doubtful, because he saw a clear human face on the trunk of the tree, with all five features. , but the eyes are closed.
This tree is actually not very tall. It is not as tall as a poplar tree that has grown normally for 10 years. It is not as thick as Meng Qingxiao imagined before. It is only as thick as three or four adults hugging each other. Its crown is full of white. Sophora japonica flowers are fragrant.
"If it wasn't so crazy, this is really a sacred tree." Meng Qingxiao sighed in his heart, "You can grow as long as you want, why bother to create a forest in the city? Look at the buildings around here, they are all destroyed. You're crushed."
Meng Qingxiao said calmly: "Let's start taking action."
"Okay!" Captain Wang waved his hand and said with a laugh: "Brothers, you are a bright guy!"
For this operation, they prepared more than a dozen electric saws, and now they finally came into use.
There are a lot of people, and there are a lot of chainsaws, but the space is limited. They can only send two people to the field at a time. The two people stand on the left and the right and start working face to face. Once someone gets tired, they can change people immediately. Need to hold on.
At the beginning, it was no different from normal sawing of wood, but when the chainsaw penetrated about 10 centimeters, suddenly a large amount of blood marks were thrown out by the chainsaw, and the two soldiers were covered with it.
When these two people were startled, everyone else was also startled, because when the blood spattered, the thick tree roots that were sleeping on the ground also flew into the air, knocking away several people sitting nearby. warrior.
Fortunately, these tree roots were just a sudden stress reaction, and they did not continue to fly. Captain Wang confirmed the situation with Gao Tong and Guan Hai, who were still underground. They also said that the beating speed of the heart had not changed.
The chainsaw continued to work, and a large amount of blood flowed out of the tree, accumulating on the ground and quickly forming a small blood puddle.
In this situation, even though the soldiers' minds were strong, they couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding. Some of them even began to feel weak in their limbs. For some reason, they seemed to hear the groaning of the big tree.
The roots of the trees on the ground began to twitch non-stop. The amplitude was very small at first. After ten minutes, they began to twist significantly like long snakes gathered together. However, at this time, the black locust could only use Drunk Man. To describe it, I don’t have the consciousness to attack people.
At this time, Guan Hai underground reported that the beating speed of the big heart had become faster.
Company Commander Wang glanced at Meng Qingxiao, and Meng Qingxiao nodded. Company Commander Wang understood and immediately asked the two people to quickly inject the second injection.
With the injection of the second injection, the tree roots on the ground became quiet again.
Meng Qingxiao kept looking at the time. It was only 18 minutes. They hadn't even finished 1/3, but the effect of the first shot had already passed. If they continued at this rate, they would never be able to finish their work before the three shots were used up. .
Company Commander Wang also discovered this situation. He asked with a worried look on his face: "Commander, it seems that we don't have that much time. What should we do? Why don't we contact people in China quickly to send us potions?"
"It's too late to send it now. Let's wait until all three needles are used up. How many can be sawed."
"That's all we have to do."
Soon, the effect of the second injection wore off, and this time the time was shorter, only 15 minutes, which made Meng Qingxiao's frown deepen.
The third injection was successful, and they were given a short working time again. The soldiers did not have to work against the clock. They just hoped to saw as many tree trunks as possible before the effect of the drug ended.
Then the effect of the third injection was even shorter. Only 10 minutes had passed, and the roots of the trees on the ground had already begun to dance slowly.
"What would happen if all the roots of these trees were cut off?" Meng Qingxiao asked Company Commander Wang.
Captain Wang smiled bitterly and said: "We have tried it before. Look at the pits on the ground. They were all blasted out by us using grenades, and we also used air cannons to completely smash them. It was useless. It can grow again in the blink of an eye. More roots.”
"Air cannon?" Meng Qingxiao's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly came to the foot of the big tree and shouted to the soldier on the right who was sawing wood: "Get out of the way."
The soldier hurriedly retreated with a chainsaw.
Meng Qingxiao aimed his air cannon under the gap they sawed and immediately began to compress the air, scaring the soldier on the left to hide back.
Soon, the air cannon began to exert its power, and with a loud bang, a large amount of debris flew everywhere, and he actually opened a gap as big as a bowl of the sea.
Meng Qingxiao kept moving his hands and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Come over and help me with two more people."
After hearing this, the little cat immediately came to Meng Qingxiao's side and squatted down to help shoot.
They adjusted the angle slightly, and four people on each side aimed at the same place and started blasting each other. Blood and sawdust were flying in front of their eyes, and the speed was many times faster than using chainsaws before.
"Oh, I wish I had thought of this method earlier." Captain Wang squatted at the bottom of the left corner like a kitten, staring at the tree roots that were flying faster and faster not far in front of him and said with worry.
"Company commander, this heart is beating faster and faster, what should we do?" Gao Tong, the underground driver, shouted nervously on the intercom.
"You guys come out of the underground quickly, it's not safe there anymore." Meng Qingxiao was the first to say.
"Commander, can't these snake beads suppress mutant trees? We should be safe. How about we break this heart? Can this help you?"
"No, this will only anger it. Come out."
"Commander!" Captain Wang also used the intercom and said, "Look at those tree roots. They have regained consciousness. Maybe breaking the heart can make it fall into a coma for a short time. This may be our last resort. Let them both Let’s do it.”
"What if it doesn't work?" Meng Qingxiao asked, "You will put them in danger."
"We are willing to take this risk." Guan Hai said hurriedly.
"Yes, I'm willing to try it too." Gao Tong also shouted on the intercom.
"Oh, okay, you must be careful." Meng Qingxiao no longer insisted.
"Don't worry, Commander. I think this snake bead is very effective. We will be fine." Gao Tong said confidently. At this time, he had already raised the grenade in his hand and was about to stuff it into the shell of the sphere. .
On the ground, except for Meng Qingxiao and the others who were still insisting on destroying the tree trunks, other soldiers began to use electric saws to deal with the dancing tree roots. There was not much danger in a short period of time.
However, this big tree has indeed become more and more awake. Its thick body is shaking faster and faster, and this is not caused by the air cannon.
boom--
A dull explosion came from the ground. As the explosion sounded, the mutated black locust's body shook violently, and then his whole body actually stopped.
"It's really fainted! Uh-" Guan Hai's surprised voice came from the earphones, and then stopped suddenly.
The stillness just now was probably just a brief spasm. In just three seconds, the big tree woke up completely. The severe pain caused it to go completely berserk. The ground with a radius of more than ten kilometers began to tremble, and then whoosh, whoosh, Whoosh...
Countless thick tree roots sprouted from the ground, sweeping across all directions to attack any obstacle that dared to block it, including an entire forest created by it itself. They were all knocked down by it as if they were devastating, and the speed seemed to be above level 17. The typhoon passed through, and all obstacles in front of it, including the high-rise buildings in the southwest of Tianluo City, were swept away by it and collapsed.
Even the large amount of equipment Zhang Ying parked in the above-ground shopping mall was not spared. There were still huge black locust tree roots underground at such a long distance.
Zhang Ying barely escaped in her car, but all her equipment had been crushed under the ruins. She finally understood why the dragons and mutant ants did not dare to get close to this place. The biggest boss in Tianluo City was actually this mutant tree. Black locust is the right one.
Company Commander Wang's men suffered heavy casualties. Only the five soldiers who shot the main trunk with him survived. They were closest to the tree, so this place became the safest place. This corresponds to the term "dark under the lamp", the most dangerous. The place is often the safest place.
But they were not completely safe, because there were many thick tree roots squirming under their feet, and the feet of Captain Wang and Xiaomao at the bottom were all entangled.
Meng Qingxiao said solemnly: "At this point, we can't escape at all. The only way we can save ourselves is to continue shooting. This is the only way to survive in death."
