Eastern Sea City. After Ye Bei announced the next step of the plan.
The entire city once again began a huge reform. With sufficient manpower, the city was undergoing earth-shattering changes almost every minute and second.
Moreover, when Ye Bei set up a living tree quarantine zone at the border of Eastern Sea City, the changes in the city could no longer be concealed. The news spread like wildfire.
On the highway to Eastern Sea City.
"Still not open?"
"What the hell is going on in Eastern Sea City..."
"Bastard!"
"Are the people in charge eating sh * t?"
The drivers who were stuck on the highway were able to remain calm at first, looking for entertainment on the road. However, as time passed, they could no longer remain calm. Countless drivers got out of their cars, cursing and swearing, trying to figure out what was going on.
Especially those who were near the border of Eastern Sea City... their cursing became even more intense. Their destination was right in front of them, but they could not cross it. This undoubtedly made them angrier.
However...
On the eighth day, just as these people were about to riot, an accident happened.
Qian Xueyi was an ordinary truck driver. He relied on the price difference between two different cities to drag cheap goods to another city to sell and earn a profit.
However, in these few days, he was not in a good mood.
"What the hell is going on?
The owner's phone has been unreachable. The highway has been blocked for eight days. Damn it, are we going to be stuck here forever? It's only less than a hundred meters away. We just have to go through this toll station. Bastard! "
Looking at the blocked toll station, Qian Xueyi cursed.
Beside him, a young man in flowery pants casually added, "Actually, you can just abandon your car and walk through the toll booth. Many people have done that these past few days. But strangely enough, none of the drivers who went into Eastern Sea City came back. Their phones can't be reached. We can't contact them at all. Bro, why don't we go and take a look together?"
"Me too. Damn it, I don't believe that Eastern Sea City is really haunted."
"I'll go too!"
"Count me in."
Many drivers agreed with the young man's suggestion. Qian Xueyi had seen many drivers abandon their cars and walk into Eastern Sea City, but he couldn't bear to part with his car and the goods inside. However, the traffic jams for several days made him really annoyed, and he couldn't see any hope of getting traffic.
"Alright, let's go together. I want to see what those bastards are doing with the taxpayers' money."
Qian Xueyi cursed.
At the same time, he thought to himself that he would go check out the situation later and come back after figuring it out.
Three minutes later.
With Qian Xueyi as the leader, the nine of them passed through the toll station and arrived at the border of Eastern Sea City.
Crack, crack …
However, as they continued to move forward, cracks suddenly appeared on the ground. Kacha, kacha, kacha sounds kept ringing in their ears, giving them an extremely uneasy feeling.
"Hey, does anyone feel that something is wrong?
There's no one around except for us. "
Qian Xueyi had only advanced less than 300 meters when the strange situation around him caused a chill to run down his spine. Coupled with the movement on the ground, he lowered his voice and shouted at his other eight companions with some fear.
"It would be weird if there's someone around. If there's someone around, why would we be stuck here for so long?
It must be those idiots who went to drink … Let's keep moving! "The young man next to him cursed.
Huh?
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his body stiffened and he was stunned on the spot.
"Does anyone feel that there's something moving under the ground?"
"There's really something!"
"I feel that there's something pushing against the bottom of my feet."
His teammates next to him had cold sweat on their foreheads. They suddenly remembered that many of the drivers who entered Eastern Sea City did not return. Their hearts were suddenly filled with endless fear.
Clatter!
However, it was too late … When they felt the movement on the ground, in the next moment, countless tree vines as thick as a person's wrist drilled out from the ground. They were densely packed, endless, and green in color.
"What is this?"
Qian Xueyi was stunned on the spot. A tree vine appeared from the bottom of his feet, and the huge force threw him over. When he fell to the ground, he opened his mouth wide and spat out such a sentence in panic.
"It looks like a bamboo shoot that just broke through the ground."
Next to him, a plainly dressed man, after seeing Qian Xueyi fall, stared at the tree vines with his eyes wide open.
"Ah ah … Quick, retreat, retreat …"
On the other hand, the young man who had shouted the loudest earlier had his face turn pale. He ran towards the highway, screaming in pain.
Whoosh whoosh …
However, it would have been better if the young man did not run. When he moved, the vines around his feet suddenly grew more than a hundred times faster. In the blink of an eye, they grew to more than twenty meters. Those tentacle-like vines frantically wrapped around his body.
In front of the other eight people …
The young man's entire body was wrapped up, only his head was exposed, and he kept screaming.
At the same time, the tree vines were still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's over, we're done for."
Qian Xueyi's face was filled with despair.
"What the hell are these things?
Ah … Don't hit me! "
Someone jumped as if he had gone crazy.
"Does anyone remember what was reported in the news a few months ago?
These vines are similar to the living trees in the Sahara Desert. Could it be that those are real? "
There were also people who maintained a very calm state of mind under such extreme fear, and even had the time to analyze.
"Help!"
"How can plants move, I must be dreaming!"
"Ah ah …"
"No!"
"Let go of me, bastard, let go!"
The scene was full of screams, and Qian Xueyi's side was only one of the places. Eastern Sea City was too big, and with the isolation during this period, many people gathered at the edge of the city every day.
Hualala!
Whoosh whoosh!
There were too many vines from the living trees.
After drilling out of the ground, they directly wrapped around Qian Xueyi's team of nine people at the fastest speed, and hung them up like dumplings. The same thing happened in other places.
As for the humans who happened to be in the safe zone, they saw with their own eyes the countless huge vines shooting up into the sky and entangling a large number of humans like fruits hanging on the branches. They all stood where they were, breathing rapidly, their faces pale, their heads dizzy, and their breathing rapid. At the same time, there was silence.
Huff huff …
One second!
Three seconds!
Five seconds …
After a full five seconds, these humans who witnessed the whole process of the living trees drilling out of the ground finally reacted. The silent scene was like a calm lake that had a bomb thrown into it, setting off huge waves.
