In fact, when Fana staged the reunion of old friends, Chu Cheng had already manipulated Batman to turn around and run away.

Of course, it’s not about running away, nor is it about habitually skipping the plot dialogue and going directly to the hands-on part because of an old problem. In fact, if possible, it’s not that Chu Cheng didn’t consider skipping the classic villain’s Q&A session and go up against others. It’s just that he hid in the dark while talking to the other person and continued to scan the environment in detective mode. Made some other discoveries.

First of all, before entering the cave, he noticed the group of infected people hidden in the dark, and visually estimated that they were all similar to the situation of the Yoshimura couple. What this wave of infected have in common is that they see Raya as their own child, and repel and attack anyone they think will take the child away from them.

From this performance, it was easy to think that Raya might be the source of infection in this incident, but after thinking about it again, it seems that there is still some problem with it.

It was also discovered before that the infection spread in this incident is through eating, and the infected person needs to eat specific objects to be affected by the infection.

Although Chu Cheng has been paddling, fishing, or laying flat since he joined the madhouse, he still read a lot of literature and materials during this period to deepen his understanding and cognition of his work content.

So he quickly concluded that this wave of incidents should be caused by a media-type infection source, similar to the statue that he blew up in the Crane Building when Batman first attacked.

What further solidified his conjecture was the image he saw in the detective mode scan.

He saw the root systems spreading on the walls of the cave, and under the detective mode image, there was a similar infection source reaction to the one he saw at the drain of the Yoshimura couple's pool.

It's just that this time the area seen by the detective's vision is wider and the effect is more intense. And careful observation reveals that the vines and root systems all over the cave are spreading and twisting in the same direction, sinking deeper into the cave, pointing to something outside the cave.

Maybe that direction is the source of the infection, the source of the real threat. Something might be crouching deeper, staring at the cave.

Chu Cheng couldn't allow this. He has always been the only one who squats on others, and there is no reason for him to squat back. Then in this wave, he will pull out the guy behind and catch another wave.

So he operated Batman to exit the cave silently, and followed the underground root system marked by the detective mode to continue to the depths of the jungle.

Then he soon found the source—

— a giant tree.

The best place to hide a tree is in the woods, because in such a barren jungle, such a huge infection source is not noticeable.

Chu Cheng didn't let Batman go straight up like this, but as usual, he used the detective vision to scan and observe a wave, and found that the tree brother seemed to be really not easy to mess with.

First of all, it is a bit big. If the malnourished trees around it look like toothpicks, then this guy stands out from the crowd like a massage stick standing among the toothpicks.

Secondly, it is not a serious tree. I didn't notice it until I looked carefully. After scanning, I saw that there were a lot of vines spreading around this thing, but when I looked closely, I found that each one was actually sticky and soft tentacles.

Maybe it thought it would be a bit weird for a tree to grow so many tentacles, so it hung some leaves on each one as decoration, making it look a little more like a serious tree Tree.

That's not all, in addition, it is densely covered with black fruits under the branches, and the dark shape is weird and the surface is stained with sticky lake liquid, which looks weird and evil at first glance.

But it wasn't like this when they first appeared on Chu Cheng's screen.

At the beginning, the vines in the picture look normal, and the fruits on the trees are also full of green, all of them compete for fat and beauty, which is full of temptation.

But that is an illusion, an illusion that deceives the senses and induces desire. People who see these can easily be unable to resist the temptation to swallow the fruit instinctively, and mutate into an infected person. The tentacles and fluids in the milk tea shop are all from this guy.

Of course, this trick didn't work for Chu Cheng. After all, other people are not at the scene through the network cable, so they can't feel the influence on the human spirit. At best, they can feel the visual effect that looks delicious through Batman's perspective.

As for the effect on Batman, it doesn't matter. First of all, the master's own willpower max is naturally resistant to mental attacks, and secondly, when the built-in system of his suit detects that his mental state is abnormal, a built-in program called "Firework" is launched.

It may be because the passionate Gotham fan base is very interested in Batman's mind world, and mental manipulation hypnosis and brainwashing are commonplace in Batman's career.

Although many times he can successfully resist with the monster-level willpower written into the settings, but it is well known that such things as willpower are idealistic after all. When it's easy to use, it's really easy to use. It can make the master's brain invulnerable to all poisons. Professor X can only be crushed by the sentence "I'm Batman" after time travel. But when the plot kills, he often disappears directly, and the scarecrow can knock him down with a breath of poisonous gas.

Therefore, in the face of the torment of these psychic lunatics all the year round, Batman not only has his own willpower, but also has special modules for mental defense in his battle suit equipment.

For example, the "firework" system he activated now.

The design of the system is inspired by games and TV shows where the visual effects of color changes are so exciting that they may even cause epilepsy. The system can quickly switch patterns in the visual sensor of his helmet and use high-intensity color contrast, or high-frequency flashing fluorescent patterns eucalyptus. And as the program runs, the screen will continue to zoom in repeatedly, stimulating his brain and quickly resetting Batman's short-term memory.

Of course, doing so would cause strong irritation to his eyes and might affect his mobility, but the effect on mental protection was really good. It can help Batman get rid of hallucinations when he loses himself and regain his true self.

So soon, after being stimulated by the "Fireworks" system, the tender and juicy fruit on the screen disappeared and returned to the black and ugly slimy lake.

That's why I say this tree is not serious. It dangles with fruit hanging there, it feels like a poor lady in ragged clothes on the street, and when you feel pity and prepare to take her to the room for targeted poverty alleviation, a few brutes suddenly pop out behind the door The big man pushes you onto the bed.

The tree on the opposite side may have also noticed that this mere human seems to have gotten rid of his bewitchment, and the tentacles wrapped in leaves became restless, and began to sweep towards Batman.

Chu Cheng made a quick decision, Batman raised his hand and threw a dart in the face, and nailed it into the tree trunk with a sound. The dangerous red indicator light flashed twice, and the next second the dart exploded with a "boom".

If it was an ordinary tree eating such a blasting bat dart, it should collapse right down the middle, but this thing seems to be particularly durable for some reason. After the blasting dart exploded, only a small gap was left on the tree trunk, and it quickly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Two tentacles stabbed towards him. Batman dodges with a roll, this time throwing the Throwing Shocker. The electric shocker also hit the target, but this weapon, which is omnipotent to human beings, doesn't seem to work well on this tree. The electric current blows up sawdust, and the tree trunk smells like a scorched lake, but it still doesn't have much effect.

Almost at the same instant, one of the tentacles wrapped around Batman's ankle.

Fortunately, both Batman and Chu Cheng reacted quickly enough—almost the moment they were lifted upside down, the qte button prompt lit up on the screen, which meant that Batman had reacted. And Chu Cheng, who has been beaten and tempered by the most difficult stand-alone games, pressed the button that popped up on the screen almost immediately.

So Batman immediately took out an electrified bat dart, bent over and swung the dart, and the sharp blade attached to the current immediately cut off the sharp blade bound to the ankle.

Chu Cheng had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately used the rolling operation the moment Batman landed, avoiding the entanglement of two more tentacles.

Chu Cheng quickly discovered that this tree has powerful defense and regeneration capabilities, and it is difficult for Batman's conventional equipment to hurt it. The speed of the vine tentacles is very fast, the strength is not weak, and more importantly, there are so many tentacles that they will be caught if they are not careful.

And this thing is said to be a tree, but it seems to have its own consciousness. When it is suppressed, the branches of its whole body will rustle and shake in a specific commandment, and the whole trunk seems to be twitching, which seems to mock the incompetence of this small human being.

And what happened next was even more outrageous. Some of the dark and ugly fruits on the tree shook twice, and they also separated from the branches one after another, firing towards Batman like black grenades.

Red parabolas were drawn in mid-air on the screen~lightnovelpub.net~ There were also circle marks one after another on the ground—it should be that Batman predicted the opponent's throwing by relying on equipment technology or his own experience. trajectories to help players see clearly in an intuitive way.

Chu Cheng immediately operated Batman to roll and dodge. Although they avoided all of them with their superb skills and reflexes, the power of that thing was not small, and the aftermath of some fruit explosions still blasted Batman out.

The armor of the battle suit resisted most of the impact, but there are still shocking blood-red special effects around the screen—that is the special effect that will appear when the hero is injured, and it is a warning to the player. The more eye-catching the special effect, the more serious the trauma.

More tentacles and fruits are coming. But Chu Cheng didn't pause in his operation. As soon as Batman landed and was still lying on the ground, he immediately raised the claw gun and fired a shot in the direction he came from.

Before the next fruit fell, the claw fibers had already contracted rapidly, pulling Batman's body in that direction. The fruit almost exploded close to the afterimage he flew out of.

Chu Cheng could roughly see it. This thing has thick blood and high defense, and it also comes with blood recovery. It has group attack, group control and long-range bombing. It can only be said that some things look like a tree on the surface, but in fact they are like a fortress behind the scenes.

How about handing it over to Yue Qi or the US team?

At the current stage, the output of these two is really strong, but they are still melee types after all. It is not easy to play against this kind of guy who can bomb from a long distance and has a lot of tentacles. In addition, the opponent's blood is thick and the defense is high, and it can heal itself, even if it is close, it may not be effective.

Although Captain America once had the unique skill of "choking the robot's neck and trying to suffocate it", it may be difficult to use it against such a tree.

With a thought, Chu Cheng had a better idea.
