Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 591: Swift Wind Convoy
Wang Tao's return gave Zhao Yaru and the others a backbone and they 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. Although they lost a lot of food during the robbery, only one person died and more than 30 were injured. This was pretty good. If the mutant beast hadn't suddenly appeared, the loss would have been even greater.

Wang Tao took out some medical kits and gave them to them, which were quite useful for the injured.

It took some time for the Zizhu base to stabilize again.

After Wang Tao confirmed that there was no problem, he said to Zhao Yaru:

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

Although several hours had passed, Wang Tao was not in a hurry. In such a bad environment, they probably couldn't go far. Even if they went far, they probably wouldn't have time to clear the traces on the road.

As long as they are not dead, it is only a matter of time before they are found. Wang Tao just hopes that they are not eaten by the mutant beast.

"...Yes! My lord, please be careful!"

Zhao Yaru wanted to say that there was no need to look for the bandits, as it would be too much trouble for Wang Tao. But after all, the bandits took away a lot of food, which was the basis for the survival of the survivors of Zizhu Base, so she couldn't refuse.

"Ah."

Wang Tao nodded and left the Zizhu base.

He did not ride on the golden eagle this time, but made Lightning bigger and rode on him. Because the bandits were moving on the ground, they might hide in some corners and corners, which might not be clearly seen from the sky.

It might be easier to ride the Lightning, and the Lightning has a keen nose and can track the robbers by the smell left behind.

Wang!
Lightning immediately ran away.

The traces left by the bandits were too obvious, especially the tracks. Wang Tao could easily tell them apart with his naked eyes, without even needing to smell them. As for the traces of the mutant beast, they were also clearly visible.

However, as they got further and further away from the Zizhu Base, the traces left by the bandits became fewer and fewer, and the traces left by the mutant beasts became almost undetectable.

Apparently, they began to hide consciously.

"It seems that they have gotten rid of the mutant beast, otherwise they would not have had time to hide their tracks..."

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows. Although this was what he hoped to see, he had to admit that this group of people were quite capable.

After all, it was a fifth-level lord mutant beast. Mutant beasts are generally much faster than zombies. It is indeed not something that ordinary people can do to get rid of mutant beasts.

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

The bandit caravan went to the left, their remaining scent was also on the left, and the mutant beast went to the right.

I don’t know how that group of people misled the mutant beasts. I guess they must have some special means.

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

The mutant beasts were active in this area, and unless they encountered a strong enemy, they would not go too far away. Moreover, Wang Tao would not get a trophy package if he killed a fifth-level creature now, but only some crystal cores and other things, which were not very valuable...

Woof——

At this moment, Lightning suddenly shouted.

"Huh? The aura is completely gone?"

Wang Tao frowned.

These bandits are really capable, they can even completely cover up their own smell.

Wang Tao felt that this should be a smell covered up by supernatural powers or awakened abilities, otherwise with Lightning's nose, it would be impossible for him not to smell it.

But it was not a big problem. Wang Tao waved his hand, and the golden eagle that had been flying above Wang Tao immediately flew down.

Wang Tao and Lightning jumped onto the golden eagle's back together.

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

chirp——

The golden eagle began to fly directly close to the ground.

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

Just as the golden eagle was circling infinitely, with the circles getting bigger and bigger, Lightning suddenly screamed.

Woof~
It smells again.

"very good!"

Wang Tao touched Lightning's dog head, 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 that seemed to have no end.

“There’s 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 the snow.

These trees are not of the same species, but they are all evergreen trees, with leaves remaining green all year round. However, they have obviously undergone some mutations, and some of the trees are very large. Of course, they are still not as big as the silver snake tree.

Wang Wang Wang --

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

"Hidden in here..."

Wang Tao did not sense 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, not knowing whether it was an illusion or not. As for danger, Wang Tao did not feel it.

Woof woof——

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

After a while, Wang Tao finally found the group of robbers outside a strange forest with fangs and claws baring, 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 these mutant trees were so insidious!"

"I finally managed to shake off that mutant beast, but now it's been trapped..."

"But why didn't it kill us? Instead, it trapped us on purpose..." "The consequences of being trapped might be even worse..."

"..."

A group of people gathered in front of several modified crawler vehicles. They were trembling as they looked at the big trees outside that could kill them instantly. There were also some destroyed vehicles nearby.

Recalling their previous experiences, they were in tears.

When I passed by Zizhu Base before, I unexpectedly found that it was full of food! Some survivors were moving the food into the base. However, the survivors in this base were not very strong!

Since they came across such a good opportunity, their "Swift Wind Team" would definitely not let it go, so without saying anything, they started grabbing it!
The process went smoothly. They stole some food and the other party had no way to stop them.

The people of the Swift Wind Team originally only planned to rob food. But they found that there were only a few fourth-level awakeners who survived in this base, and they were all seriously injured! So, their ideas changed - they not only wanted to rob food, but also rob these survivors!
In the last days, the least valuable thing is people, and the most valuable thing is also people.

If they could enslave all the survivors in these bases, it would create a huge amount of wealth for them!
So they immediately changed their strategy and prepared to rob both the people and the food.

Just when they were about to rush into the enemy base and enslave them, a fifth-order lord-level mutant beast suddenly appeared!
Although they were strong, they were only level 4 after all, and they didn't have many people. Facing such a level 5 lord mutant beast, they definitely had no chance of defeating it.

They withdrew decisively.

Although it was a pity, they did not lose out after all as they had snatched so much food. As for the survivors of the Purple Bamboo Base, they could only become the mutant beasts' dinner.

But what was unexpected was that the mutant beast did not rush into the survivors' base, but chased towards their Windrush Convoy!
Everyone was cursing in their hearts, thinking that this mutant beast was an idiot. There was ready-made food but it didn't eat it and had to eat them.

There was no choice but to run away faster.

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

But this is not a solution. If we are not careful, we might be caught up.

However, one person in their team has the ability to create an illusion. Although the failure rate is high and even if it succeeds, it cannot last for too long, but as long as it succeeds, it will work even when facing a fifth-order lord-level enemy. And the consumption of this awakening is not large.

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

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

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

After that, everything went smoothly. After the mutant beasts were led away, they never came back. 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 other people, and this forest was on their way. Although they could take a detour, it would be a long way.

In this icy and snowy place, there were few evergreen plants, but the ones that did exist had basically all undergone mutations, and it would be difficult for them to survive without mutations. This was the first time they had encountered so many mutant plants at once.

They didn't want to take a detour, so they decided to come in and take a look, hoping there might be 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 rely on their good cars and are much braver than ordinary people. Anyway, if they really encounter any danger, they can 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 could not be missed.

So they entered the forest surrounded by ice and snow.

It was very calm at the beginning and they didn't encounter any danger, but they didn't relax. They always looked around vigilantly. If they found irresistible danger, they would run away directly.

But what was unexpected was that even though they were so cautious, they still fell into the trap - when the convoy came to a sparse woods, a large number of trees suddenly and rapidly grew out of the surrounding snow!

These trees bared their fangs and claws, and instantly surrounded their entire convoy.

The people of the Swift Wind Team didn't know what level these mutant trees were at for the time being, because they couldn't sense them. But when they tried to drive out, the car in front of them was directly crushed by the trees!

The people in the car were thrown out by the twisting trees and were unharmed.

This group of people had a lot of combat experience, and they knew at a glance that the mutant trees that were blocking them were definitely much stronger than them. They couldn't run away!
Even these mutated trees didn't let them stay in the car. After seeing the mutated trees destroy three cars, they got out decisively.

Sure enough, after getting off the car, the mutant trees stopped attacking them. But they wouldn't let them leave, and trapped them here!

This made them terrified and puzzled at the same time. They didn't understand why these mutant trees trapped them but didn't kill them... This was obviously not a good thing. The final result might be worse than death! It would be better to just die...

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

After a series of tests, they finally felt relieved.

I can’t get out, I can’t get out at all!
Neither digging a tunnel nor pole vaulting would work. There were tree roots underground and branches in the air, and unless they could fly out quickly, there was no way they could leave.

But just when they were in despair, someone suddenly widened his eyes, then quickly rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things.

"Someone! Someone is coming outside!"

Although these mutant trees trapped the Swift Wind Team, they were not as solid as a wall. There were many gaps between the trees. These gaps were not big enough for people to escape, but they could see what was happening outside.

This person saw through the gap that there was an extremely burly human being outside the mutant tree, and there was a strong wolfdog beside the human being.

So the man immediately howled.

In the apocalypse, 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, he will have to join forces with you to fight the enemy.

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

So this man just shouted loudly, trying to make these mutated trees notice that there is a human outside, and let the mutated trees attack that person.

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

The others heard the noise and spotted the tall human figure outside. They all started shouting for help.

"Help!"

"Save us!"

"We are trapped, help!"

Regardless of whether the other party will rescue you or not, you have to let the mutant tree notice you 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.

the other side.

Wang Tao looked at the mutated trees, his eyes glowing faintly.

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