DPM Chapter 54-Evolution 2-Part 1
Translated by Snowfall77
The company marched to a position about a hundred meters from the forest and halted. Ye Fan, Luo Ying, and Ouyang Yi were roughly five hundred meters away. Since those three had no combat experience, and two of them were important scientists, Lu Shi allotted them ten soldiers for protection, along with a jeep for transportation.
Then the remaining troops gradually drilled into the deep woods, Wu Xingyun included on a combat team.
The company drove a tank and an armored vehicle, comprehensively equipped with many rocket artilleries and other weapons. Therefore Ye Fan wasn’t too worried about Wu Xingyun’s safety.
The ten-man squad left behind to guard formed a circle around the trio, guns out, defending the perimeter.
Luo Ying and Ouyang Yi sat in the front seat of the jeep, Ye Fan in the back. The atmosphere between the three was subtly uncomfortable. Ye Fan attempted to converse with Ouyang Yi, even though Ouyang Yi’s attitude was awfully indifferent. Ye Fan did learn that Ouyang Yi had previously worked for the world’s largest gene company, Mengsilong. Ouyang Yi was also a shareholder in Mengsilong and served as technical support.
In light of the global mutations occurring, Mengsilong’s headquarters had been written off. And after shelling out a large amount of money and generously sharing the latest technology, they’d moved most of their equipment and personnel to xxxx, continuing their research there.
Mengsilong’s reputation wasn’t that good. Or at least Ye Fan didn’t like the ‘seek nothing but profit’ company. Combined with Ouyang Yi’s arrogance and coldness, Ye Fan felt he had nothing in common with the man.
Waiting in silence, a bored stiff Ouyang Yi tapped at the steering wheel. Luo Ying, leaning in her seat, was lost in thought.
“Will there be danger?” Ye Fan asked Luo Ying, “When they go in?”
Luo Ying replied: “Don’t worry, our assessment is that enough people and weapons were brought to catch it alive. Even if they can’t catch it, they should be able to destroy it, no problem.”
“Mmm.” Ye Fan went quiet again.
""
He still had questions in his heart, but didn’t want to pester Luo Ying with her haughty husband right there.
As the three each pondered their own private worries, within the forest, flames blazed and booms sounded.
The trio turned their heads in unintended unison, peering into the interior of the woods. In the dark night everything appeared strange.
Screams began sounding intermittently, Ye Fan’s heart immediately tightening. He pulled the car door open, trying to run into the forest. Hearing those shrieks, Ye Fan’s anxiety for Wu Xingyun overtook him.
Even though he clearly knew that he might not be able to actually help, yet……He always felt he couldn’t let Wu Xingyun face danger alone.
Except when he ran past Luo Ying, Ye Fan stumbled over something and fell with a great thud.
Getting up off the ground, Ye Fan saw that what he’d tripped over was an exposed tree root.
Such a thing would lack consciousness, lack intelligence. Should Ye Fan have sensed it?
Scratching his head, Ye Fan suddenly realized things weren’t right. About to loudly warn the others, Ye Fan felt the ground violently shaking.
At that, the ten soldiers obviously noticed something wrong too. Then they all saw immense amounts of mud billowing out from the forest, bulky roots plowing through the ground at intense speed, countless rattan stretching out and advancing.
The soldiers raised their guns and started shooting. Behind them, the jeep’s engine revved.
Looking back, Ye Fan saw that Ouyang Yi had started the jeep and was turning it around.
""
Luo Ying shouted from the front passenger seat: “Don’t fight! Quick, get in the car!”
Hearing Luo Ying, the soldiers started an orderly retreat without hesitation.
However, there was only one jeep. And more than a dozen people.
Ouyang Yi had no intention of picking up the soldiers. Instead, he dropped his head and straightforwardly drove off. Ye Fan could faintly hear Luo Ying’s and Ouyang Yi’s voices as they quarreled.
“They’re there, they’ll die!”
“If we don’t run, we’re going to die! You know what that thing is!”
Next an eerie, frightful scene took place. The rattan crossed over the soldiers and Ye Fan, extending through the air.
High in the sky, piercing the clouds, then violently diving, they chased the speedily retreating jeep.
Bang! At last a rattan root hit the Jeep’s tail, but failed to capture it.
The rattan increased their speed, catching up with the vehicle.
Pop! Luo Ying severed the rattan that had grabbed Ouyang Yi’s arm with a dagger.
This kind of pursuit, Ye Fan got the notion that this thing was vigorously hunting Lou Ying and her husband.
At last, before she could pull back, the rattan caught Luo Ying’s wrist in mid-air.
With a texture resembling human skin, the white cane quickly swirled around Luo Ying’s wrist, dragging her backwards.
Her body was pulled up, her other arm clutching the jeep’s back seat tightly.
The jeep that kept rushing to flee slowed because of the rattan that had caught Luo Ying. Ye Fan and the soldiers quickly ran towards the vehicle, in an attempt to rescue Luo Ying. The driving Ouyang Yi looked over his shoulder, caught sight of the rattan getting closer and closer, and saw his wife tangled in the roots, grabbing an armrest and refusing to loosen her grip.
What no one expected was that Ouyang Yi would glance at Luo Ying and declare: “I’m sorry, it’s too dangerous. This bird will fly separately.” Then reach out and pry Luo Ying’s hand off the armrest.
Her screams ringing out, Luo Ying’s body flew backwards, corded with roots. Hovering in the air, the red climbing suit appeared especially dazzling.
And that was the moment the jeep finally accelerated out of range of the rattan.
