Chapter 591: The Windy Convoy

With Wang Tao back, Zhao Yaru and others had a backbone and finally stopped panicking. They quickly sent people to move the remaining food back to the base.

Then Wang Tao looked at Zhao Yaru's statistics. They were robbed this time. Although they lost a lot of food, only one person died and more than thirty were injured. This is pretty good. If the mutated beast hadn't suddenly appeared, the losses would have been even greater.

Wang Tao took out some medical kits for them. These things can still have a certain effect on the injured.

It took a while for the Zizhu base to stabilize again.

After Wang Tao made sure there was nothing wrong, he said to Zhao Yaru:

"You guys stay at home, I'll go find those people."

Although several hours have passed, Wang Tao is not in a hurry. With the current harsh environment, they shouldn't be able to go very far. Even if they had gone far, they probably wouldn’t have time to clear away the traces on the road.

As long as they are not dead, it will be a matter of time to find them. Wang Tao just hoped that they would not be eaten by the mutant beast.

"...Yes! Sir, please be more careful!"

Zhao Yaru originally wanted to say that there was no need to go looking for those bandits. It would be too troublesome for Wang Tao. But after all, this group of bandits took away a large amount of food, which was the basis of survival for the survivors of Zizhu Base, so she still could not refuse.

"Um."

Wang Tao nodded and left the Zizhu base.

This time he did not ride on the golden eagle. Instead, he made the lightning grow bigger and then rode on the lightning. Because this group of robbers is moving on the ground, they may even get into some nooks and crannies, which may not be clearly visible in the sky.

It might be easier to ride on Lightning, and Lightning has a very good nose and can track the robbers based on their lingering scent.

Woof!

Lightning immediately ran away.

The traces left by the group of bandits when they left were too obvious, especially the track ruts. Wang Tao could easily distinguish them with his naked eyes without even having to smell them. As for the traces of the mutated beast, they are also clearly visible.

However, as we get further and further away from the Zizhu base, the traces left by the bandits become less and less, and the traces left by the mutated beasts are also insignificant.

Obviously, they began to hide it consciously.

"It seems like they should have gotten rid of that mutated beast, otherwise they wouldn't have had time to hide their traces..."

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows. Although this was what he wanted to see, it had to be said that this group of people had two skills.

After all, it was a fifth-level lord mutant beast. Mutant beasts were generally much faster than zombies. It was indeed not something ordinary people could do to throw the mutant beast away.

After a while, Wang Tao came to a fork in the road.

The robbers' convoy went to the left, and their remaining scent was also on the left, while the mutant beast went to the right.

I don’t know how those people misled the mutated beasts. I guess they must have some special means.

Wang Tao thought for a moment and decided to chase the person first.

The mutated beasts are active in this area, and they shouldn't be far away unless they encounter powerful enemies. Moreover, Wang Tao will no longer receive loot packages for killing level 5 creatures. He can only obtain some crystal nuclei and the like, which are not very valuable...

Woof——

At this time, Lightning suddenly screamed.

"Huh? The breath has completely disappeared?"

Wang Tao frowned.

This group of robbers is indeed quite capable. They can even completely cover up their own smell.

Wang Tao felt that this should be a smell masked by supernatural powers or awakening abilities, otherwise it would be impossible to miss it with Lightning's nose.

But it wasn't a big problem. Wang Tao waved, and the golden eagle that had been directly above Wang Tao immediately flew down.

Wang Tao and Ling Ling jumped on the back of the golden eagle.

"Fly low around here and let Lightning continue to smell and see."

Chirp——

The golden eagle started flying directly close to the ground.

It was very large, and its feathers were as indestructible as steel. As it flew at low altitude, a large number of ruined buildings were destroyed by it. For a while, the sound of damaged buildings could be heard everywhere.

And just as the golden eagle was making infinite circles, flying in bigger and bigger circles, Lightning suddenly screamed.

Woof~

It smelled again.

"very good!"

Wang Tao touched Lightning's dog head, and then let the golden eagle fly into the sky. It rode Lightning again and headed towards the smell.

After a while, Wang Tao came to a forest with no end in sight.

"There is such a big forest here?"

Wang Tao was a little amazed when he saw the large number of green trees in front of him that could not even be covered by snow.

These trees are not the same species, but they are all evergreens that keep their leaves green all year round. However, they have obviously undergone some changes, and some trees are very large. Of course, it is still incomparable to the size of the Silver Snake Tree.

Woof woof woof——

Lightning spoke again, telling Wang Tao that the smell of those bandits was in it.

"Are you hiding in here..."

Wang Tao didn't feel any danger from these trees. He just thought about it for a moment and went straight in.

After entering the forest, Wang Tao felt that the air inside was much better, whether it was an illusion or not. As for danger, Wang Tao didn't feel it at all.

Woof woof——

Lightning said that the smell in the forest was very strong, and the bandits obviously did not continue to clean up their movement traces. Wang Tao also saw some track marks.

After a while, outside a strange forest with fangs and claws, Wang Tao finally found the bandits, but their situation did not seem to be very good.

…

"It's over..."

"Who suggested running here? It's all over now!"

"Who would have thought that these mutant trees are so insidious!"

"It's so hard to get rid of the mutant beast, but now it's trapped..."

"But why didn't it kill us? Instead, it deliberately trapped us..."

"The fate of being trapped may be even worse..."

"..."

In front of several modified tracked vehicles, a group of people gathered together. They looked at the big trees outside that could kill them in seconds, and they were all trembling. There were also some destroyed vehicles next to them.

Recalling their previous experiences, they all wanted to cry but had no tears.

When they passed by the Zizhu base before, they accidentally found that it was full of food! Some survivors were moving the food into the base. And the survivors of this base were not strong!

Since they encountered such a good thing, their "Swift Wind Team" would definitely not let it go, so without saying anything, they started to rob directly!

The process was also very smooth. They robbed a part of the food, and the other party had no way to stop them.

The people of the Gale Team originally planned to rob only the food. But they found that among the survivors in this base, there were only a few fourth-level awakeners, and they were all seriously injured! So, their ideas changed-not only did they want to rob the food, but also the survivors!

In the end of the world, the least valuable thing is people, and the most valuable thing is also people.

If they can enslave all the survivors in these bases, it will create a lot of wealth for them!

So they immediately changed their strategy and prepared to rob people and food together.

They were about to rush into the other party's base and enslave the other party. Suddenly, a fifth-level lord-level mutant beast appeared!

Although they are strong, they are only fourth-level after all, and they don’t have many people. Facing such a fifth-level lord-level mutant beast, there is definitely no way to fight.

They retreated decisively.

Although it is a pity, they have robbed so much food after all, so they are not at a loss. As for the survivors of this Zizhu base, they can only regrettably become the dinner of the mutant beast.

But what people didn't expect was that the mutant beast didn't rush into the survivors' base, but chased after their Swift Wind Team!

Everyone cursed in their hearts, thinking that the mutant beast was stupid, there was ready-made food but didn't eat them.

There was no way, they could only speed up and run away.

Fortunately, the mutant beast was not good at speed. Their tracked vehicles were specially modified and ran very fast in the snow. The mutant beast couldn't catch up with them for a while.

But this was not a solution. If you were not careful, you might be caught up.

However, in their team, there was a person whose awakening ability was to create an illusion. Although the failure rate was very high, even if it succeeded, it would not last too long, but as long as it succeeded, it would work even against enemies at the level of the fifth-level lord. And the consumption of this awakening was not large.

So, that person began to frantically create an illusion for the mutant beast.

After a lot of attempts, the illusion finally succeeded at a fork in the road. The mutant beast was successfully guided into another road.

Then they took the opportunity to clean up their footprints. Some people in their team had awakened to clear their breath, and they instantly covered up the team's breath. They were afraid that the mutant beast would continue to look for them after it came out of the illusion.

After that, it was very smooth. After the mutant beast was led away, it never chased them again. Everyone in the Swift Wind Team was very happy.

At this time, a dense forest appeared in front of them.

They were going to meet up with others. This forest was on their way. Although they could take a detour, they had to take a long detour.

In this kind of ice and snow, there were few evergreen plants, but there were some. Basically, they had undergone mutations, and it was difficult to survive without mutations. And it was the first time they encountered so many mutant plants at once.

It just so happened that they didn't want to take a detour, so they were ready to come in and take a look. Maybe there was something good here.

In the end times, although there are dangers everywhere, there are also many opportunities. It depends on whether you can grasp them. The people in the Swift Wind Team relied on their good cars and were much braver than ordinary people. Anyway, if you really encounter any danger, just drive away.

They had picked up a strange fruit in an evergreen forest before, and someone woke up soon after eating it. So the opportunity cannot be missed.

So, they entered the forest in the ice and snow.

At the beginning, it was very calm and there was no danger, but they did not relax. They were always vigilant and looked around. If they found irresistible danger, they would run away directly.

But what people did not expect was that they were so cautious, but they still got caught - when the team came to a sparse forest, a large number of trees suddenly grew rapidly in the snow around them!

These trees bared their fangs and claws, and instantly wrapped their entire team in it.

The people in the Gale Team did not know what level these mutant trees were for the time being, because they could not sense it. But when they tried to drive out, the car in front of them was directly crushed by the trees!

And the people in the car were thrown out by the twisting trees, unharmed.

They had rich combat experience. At a glance, they knew that the level of the mutant trees that blocked them was definitely much stronger than them. They could not run away!

Even these mutant trees didn't let them stay in the car. After watching the mutant trees destroy three cars, they got out of the car decisively.

Sure enough, after getting out of the car, the mutant trees stopped attacking them. But they didn't let them leave, so they trapped them here!

This made them terrified and puzzled. They didn't know why these mutant trees trapped them but didn't kill them... This was not a good thing at first glance. Maybe the final result would be more painful than death! It's better to die...

But that being said, who wants to die if they can live? Before they are completely desperate, they don't want to give up.

After a series of tests, their hanging hearts finally died.

Can't get out, don't get out at all!

Whether it's digging a tunnel or pole vaulting, it won't work. There are tree roots underground and branches in the air. Unless they can fly out quickly, they can't think of leaving.

But just when they were desperate, someone suddenly widened his eyes, and then rubbed his eyes quickly to make sure he was not mistaken.

"Someone! Someone is coming outside!"

Although these mutant trees trapped the Swift Wind Team, they were not as tightly blocked as a wall. There were many gaps between the trees. These gaps were not enough for people to escape, but they could see the situation outside.

This man saw through the gap that there was an extremely burly human outside the mutant trees, and there was a strong wolf dog beside the human.

So, this man howled immediately.

In the end times, if you are in danger and accidentally meet a survivor, the survivor will most likely not save you. But if you can bring danger to this survivor, then he will have to join forces with you to resist the enemy.

As for whether you will be retaliated after you are out of danger, that is a matter for later. You don't need to consider it before you are out of danger.

So this man shouted directly, wanting these mutant trees to notice that there is a human outside, and let the mutant trees attack that person.

As long as the mutant trees attack the human outside, they may have a chance to escape!

Others heard the noise and also found the tall human figure outside. They all started to shout for help.

"Help!"

"Save us!"

"We are trapped, help!"

No matter if the other party will save them or not, they have to let the mutant trees notice them first.

What confused them was that after they shouted for a long time, these mutant trees with bared fangs and claws just twisted their bodies and did not attack the human outside.

On the other side.

Wang Tao looked at the mutant trees, his eyes glowed.

"A sixth-level biological weapon of the trap type, quite interesting..."
