Chapter 612, Luo Lan Awakening
Outside Barrier 61, a huge convoy of trucks suddenly arrived at the market town.
Wang Fugui was sitting in the truck, anxiously surveying the barriers in front of him, only to see that the barriers were just as the legend said, with countless wall creepers, and that once someone approached, they would immediately be attacked by the wall creeper’s tentacles.
The Wang’s troops who arrived together were discussing how to solve the problem at hand, but no one actually had a particularly good solution.
In the end, someone said, there shouldn’t be any survivors inside anymore, why don’t we just use a fire to burn down the barriers, even if this wall-crawler is more powerful, it has to be afraid of fire.
This time, Wang’s troops were able to arrive early, thanks to Wang Fugui.
Before the army was assembled, but they wanted to leave temporarily, some military vehicles were outside and didn’t come back, so Wang Fugui took the initiative to propose that they unload the goods in the barracks first, and then use his loaded wagons to carry the soldiers, so that Wang’s troops didn’t need to keep waiting.
As a result, the officer of this first arriving Wang’s troop at Barrier 62 was very thankful to Wang Fugui, and even called Wang Fugui his brother, praising him for his deep sense of justice and being a good person.
Wang Fugui laughed bitterly, he was not deeply righteous, but he also had relatives who were afraid to be in the barriers, so he also hoped that the troops could arrive as soon as possible, and might be able to save his relatives.
At this moment, when Wang Fugui heard the officer of Wang’s troop say that he wanted to burn the 61st barrier, he was anxious: “Sir, my family is still inside, you can’t burn it down.”
That officer, Wang Linlan, laughed bitterly, “Older brother, even if your family member is really inside, it’s impossible for him to survive, my side has just received the latest orders from above, some satellites have photographed that the whole ledge has turned green, no one can survive this catastrophe.”
“Impossible,” Wang Fugui’s brain buzzed, followed by shouting, “He’s different, he must be able to survive, he survived such a difficult situation in the beginning, this time ……”
Saying that, Wang Fugui even rushed towards the ledge, behind him Jiang Wu suddenly pulled him back.
Wang Fugui turned back woodenly, “Teacher Jiang Wu, you also think that Xiao Su will die, right?”
“No,” Jiang Wu shook his head, “You stay, I’ll go find him.”
Just as the argument was going on, someone exclaimed, “Look guys, how come the wall creeper at the entrance of this barrier gate has started to wither?!”
Everyone’s gazes turned around, and they suddenly realized that it really was the case, that the originally lush wall creeper had actually withered!
“What happened?”
“Did someone settle it inside?”
Wang Linlan frowned at all this, now no one could tell what exactly happened inside, whether it was the wall-crawler itself that had a problem, or someone had solved the wall-crawler inside, there was no way to be sure.
It was just that he suspected that no one in this world could solve this horrible creature, I’m afraid.
……
In one’s life, one will experience dozens of springs, summers, autumns and winters, with everything sprouting in the spring, lush in the summer, yellowing leaves in the fall, and ice and snow covering in the winter.
But at this moment, the 61st barrier, that dense and weird green, is disappearing at a very fast speed, turning into a withered yellow and dull color.
It was like going from spring and summer to winter in the blink of an eye, as if someone’s Big 6 hand waved, washing away the pigment on this painting, waiting for the color to fade away little by little.
Ren Xiaosu looked at everything happening beside him, shocked beyond words.
Just because the area was so large, and the entire expanse of the wall was undergoing such a drastic change, it would make one feel that this was more like the greatness of nature.
This wallcreeper also grew normally at first, until the great battle between the Fire Seed Company and the Ankyoji Temple within the Barrier caused the blood of the Transcendents to rain down onto its branches and leaves.
Later, it started eating rats in the sewers, followed by domestic cats and dogs, and finally started eating people.
At first, it ate people secretly, probably because it is also worried about being discovered by humans, low intelligence but does not mean that it does not have the wisdom, this wall-crawler is actually more like a child, no one to teach it how to get along with the world, so it is selfish growth.
In the beginning of man is nature good or nature evil? Ren Xiaosu felt that both definitions did not fit his idea, he felt that, in the beginning of man, nature is selfish, no matter right or wrong.
Then later on, the people in the barrier found out the wall-crawler’s cattiness, so they wanted to use a flamethrower to end its life, the wall-crawler naturally wasn’t willing to be wiped out by the humans just like that, and it was obviously the stronger party, so it buried the whole barrier with its anger.
But none of that mattered, what mattered was that it drew on the energy in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the ledge, and there were even Transcendents among them!
The energy it needed to surround the barrier bit by bit was actually extremely huge, but it was the hundreds of thousands of lives in this barrier that provided it with nutrients, which allowed it to expand so quickly.
It could be said that it had sacrificed a barrier to complete its growth.
And now, all the energy after this sacrifice of a barrier was converging towards Zhou Yingxue!
After the branches and leaves withered and snapped, Ren Xiaosu saw Zhou Yingxue standing silently on top of the wallcreeper’s root system, her eyes tightly closed.
Her hand was resting on one of the main branches of the wall-crawler beside her, and the wall-crawler could only be at Zhou Yingxue’s mercy after being controlled by the root system.
Uncountable amounts of green energy were drawn away from the branch, and from Zhou Yingxue’s fingers, it converged into her body.
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled, could Zhou Yingxue have directly smoked this wall-crawler to death?
But what kind of transcendent would a person who achieved at the cost of a wall become?
In the entire history of mankind, Zhou Yingxue was afraid to be the first person to experience such a thing.
Although the previous great maid had a good supporting role, she was really lacking in terms of combat power, but what about after this time?
That big maid who especially liked to get high on melon seeds and had no image to speak of in front of Ren Xiaosu was now like a goddess in the middle of a wall, controlling the life and death of a wall.
The next moment, the moment all the wall creepers withered, Zhou Yingxue also fainted.
Ren Xiaosu walked to Zhou Yingxue’s side to check, and found that the other party’s respiration and pulse were all normal, perhaps it was because she had absorbed too much energy, so much so that she was somewhat unable to withstand it.
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu had never experienced this kind of thing, so she didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, Zhou Yingxue’s body was hot and cold, and the expression on her face was changing, so Ren Xiaosu hesitated for a moment, and finally picked her up from the ground.
But suddenly, Ren Xiaosu realized that everything around him was covered by a layer of golden light, he turned around and looked back, and he saw Luo Lan rising from the ground, while the other party’s body was covered with a layer of golden millilight.
Ren Xiaosu froze on the spot, “You’ve awakened?”
