My Evolution Starting from a Giant Tree

Chapter 24: Humans Enter the Mountains

Only a few low cries would occasionally ring out.

"These little fellows."

Looking at the animals that had become drenched in the tree cage, Lin Meng could not bear it.

The branches twirled in the air.

Black tree roots extended out from the soil.

Looking up, he looked at the sky.

He could see that the fine branches were woven into an umbrella the size of a millstone.

It was propped up above the bird's nest.

And below.

Countless black tree roots intertwined with each other like giant pythons.

They turned into even thicker giant python tree roots and were slowly pulled onto the tree cage.

They shielded the mutated beasts below from the heavy rain.

"Ao, awoo, awoo..."

The wind wolves squatted on the ground like huskies.

They stuck out their red tongues and stared unblinkingly at the willow tree in the depths of the canyon.

"Moo..."

A cow's cry reverberated in the canyon for a long time. The huge black bull with crescent-shaped horns rubbed against the tree roots beside it.

A human-like kindness actually appeared on its face.

"The bull knows human nature. It's really true."

Seeing the bison's actions, Lin Meng also laughed.

A moment later.

Under his astonished gaze, the bison actually shook its head and walked out of the tree roots that were shielding him from the rain.

Walking towards the curtain of rain.

Before he knew it, the bison was out there.

He heard a voice.

As clear as a silver bell, ringing in the ear.

"Master, hahaha, cows like rainy days. They like being caught in the rain."

"Ah, right!"

Suddenly remembered the habits of the buffalo, presumably this bison is not much different.

It was a little awkward but Lin Meng didn't take it too seriously.

...

At this moment.

At the foot of a mountain in the distance.

A convoy that came from god knows where suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Pushing open the door, a young soldier in a raincoat looked at the mountain that was shrouded in the fog and frowned slightly.

"It's raining and the fog is thick. It's really not a good sign."

"Exactly!"

A bearded man got out of the car behind him.

He was a regiment commander and received military orders this time.

He followed this young soldier, Jack, to the mountain to survey.

Although it didn't say anything about the survey.

But as an old soldier, how could he not guess it?

For this, he specially prepared two machine guns and also brought four armor-piercing bullets in case of emergency.

At this moment.

The regiment commander looked at the puddle-filled soil and then looked at the hazy scene.

The mountain that was shrouded in clouds and fog was gloomy and terrifying. He suggested, "Why don't we find a place to settle down first?"

"This weather is not a good time to investigate."

As he said that, he took out a map and pointed at a red circle on the map.

He added, "There seems to be a village not far from here. We should be able to spend a good night there."

"Okay."

Jack nodded in agreement.

"That's good too. You old people have a lot of experience in this matter. I won't blindly command."

Hearing this, the regiment commander couldn't help but shake his head and said half-jokingly, "That can't be said like that. Our army emphasizes that the strong are respected, and as an extraordinaire..."

Before he could finish speaking, the regiment commander looked at this young figure with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Extraordinaire!

That was something that ordinary people couldn't be envious of.

With the recovery of spirit qi, there would always be some people who were luckier than others.

The adaptability of the body to spiritual energy was much greater than that of ordinary people.

And this kind of person, once they completed the awakening, would be given the title of "Extraordinaire."

Of course.

This kind of thing wasn't publicized to the public at the moment.

It was only spread in the military.

It was even said that the country was sending people to wantonly recruit extraordinaires who had awakened among the people.

And the person in front of him was an extraordinaire.

Moreover, it was said that he was not an ordinary extraordinary individual.

If that rumor was true, he should be the legendary first-generation...

Shaking his head, the regiment commander suppressed the thoughts that rose in his heart.

Immediately, he held the walkie-talkie and commanded:

"Head north. We will head to a village not far away to settle down."

"Remember, don't trouble the villagers too much. We are only spending the night. We will also gather some information."

"Yes, Regiment Commander."

"Regiment Commander, can we hunt and eat some roasted wild beast meat later?"

...

In the midst of the replies, the entire convoy had already followed the mud that was full of puddles and slowly headed towards the depths of the dense fog.

The small village was not far.

It was only half an hour's journey from the convoy.

However, due to the continuous rain, the mountain road was difficult to walk on.

Halfway through the convoy, they had already stopped.

Looking at the narrow soil not far away that could only allow one or two people to pass through, the regiment commander got off the carriage.

He smiled bitterly and said, "This is a big mountain. The road is really difficult to walk on."

Hearing the regiment commander's exclamation, Jack could not help but shake his head.

Immediately, he glanced at the convoy behind him.

He instructed.

"Leave a few people here to guard the convoy. The rest of you, follow me to the village."

"That's fine."

Nodding his head, the leader also began to command the convoy.

At this moment, as if recalling something, the leader suddenly shouted towards the convoy behind him:

"Brothers, remember to bring your guns."

"I say, Leader, do you really have to be so cautious? Those guns are not just any ordinary heavy guns."

"Heavy?"

His face darkened. The regiment commander looked at the young man who spoke and his tone became heavier. "It's only heavy now. When you lose your life later, you will know what real heavy is."

As he spoke, his face had already darkened. He walked alone to the last car of the convoy.

He took out the iron suitcase.

Inside it was a modified small armor-piercing bullet.

It was specially made for mutated beasts.

It was very difficult for tanks or even armored vehicles to enter a mountain like this.

As such, man-made small armor-piercing bullets were also invented.

However, considering the extremely terrifying recoil force that was enough to shatter a person's arm, such weapons were usually used as a last resort.

Most of them relied on ordinary guns and cannons.

Of course, it was worth mentioning.

Armor-piercing bullets that relied on the kinetic energy of the bullet to penetrate and destroy the target posed a huge threat to the mutant beast.

One had to know.

The strength of a normal mutant beast was its tough fur, able to ignore bullets and cannons.

However, this armor-piercing bullet only needed one shot.

It could tear apart the defense of the mutant beast and, at the same time, explode with a huge amount of kinetic energy.

Then, it would shatter the mutated beast's internal organs.

Generally speaking, there weren't many mutated beasts that could withstand such a terrifying weapon.

Except for those few...

As he thought of something, the captain's face suddenly darkened.

It wasn't his first time participating in such a mission.

The last time was ten days ago.

But that time...

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He suppressed the sadness in his heart.

It had to be said that the mutated beasts were becoming more and more dangerous to humans. Even if the army entered the mountains to encircle them, they would still be a little weak.

And among them, there were a few that had already fallen into the forbidden zone, the hell of death.
