Superbase Evolution

Chapter 140: People in the Trees

The people from the Sword Alliance and the Xu family studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to remove the parts from the giant tree.

Zuo Qinglong also looked for Lin Shen, hoping to use Lin Shen's help to get some more fruits.

The Sword Alliance can provide crystal-based weapons, and Lin Shen is responsible for the labor. The fruits obtained nominally belong to Lin Shen, but Lin Shen needs to sell most of them to the Sword Alliance.

Unfortunately, Lin Shen's answer disappointed them. Lin Shen could only unleash that kind of power once, and his body was also damaged. Not only could he not use it now, he was also very weak.

The people of the Sword Alliance also guessed something, but they were still a little disappointed when they heard Lin Shen confirm it personally.

When the people in the Sword Alliance and those watching the battle outside heard Lin Shen say this, many of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the Iron-level Lin Shen could really continue to use that kind of power, many people would probably be unable to sleep or eat.

Unable to think of a better solution, everyone could only rest where they were and wait for the spies to come back and report.

When the spies came back, they brought back very bad news. They explored the area within dozens of miles and found no trace of any genetically modified creatures. Apart from this big tree, there was not even a single plant nearby.

What is even more disturbing is that there is not even a trace of wind in the desert. The entire desert is eerily quiet.

Fortunately, although the desert is very hot, this giant tree exudes cool air. As long as you are not too close to the giant tree, the temperature is still relatively comfortable.

Lin Shen specifically pitched his tent next to a giant tree. The cold air from the giant tree was able to allow the theory of evolution to operate automatically, giving his body a certain ability to resist the cold.

"That's fine. Should I get a cold jade bed or something and sleep on it every day?" Lin Shen thought it was a good idea.

It is difficult to get some materials from the giant tree to make a bed, but he considered building a cold storage and sleeping directly in it after returning.

Unfortunately, electricity resources are still relatively scarce in this era. The Xuanniao base only has a small thermal power station, which is not enough for normal use. I am afraid that there will not be enough electricity to build a cold storage.

The Sword Alliance and the Xu Family decided to wait here for the three days to end. Lin Shen was unwilling to take the risk, so he stayed with them.

Zuo Qinglong asked a few people to climb up the giant tree, hoping to try their luck and maybe get a few more fruits down.

The fruits of plants on the mother planet often fall off easily after they are ripe, so they wanted to see if such a good thing would happen.

Xu Tiange was very honest, and was waiting downstairs with the people from the Xu family.

He has been following Lin Shen, intending to be tied to Lin Shen forever. He goes wherever Lin Shen goes and does whatever Lin Shen does.

In Xu Tiange’s own words, there is no harm in following Brother Shen.

The giant tree was too tall, and the trunk was very slippery and cold. After several hours, the Sword Alliance finally climbed to the treetops.

I originally thought that they would crawl towards the fruit, but one of them tied the rope and actually came down.

“Brother Long…there’s something up there…up there…” the man slid down the rope, saying breathlessly.

"Is there something?" Lin Shen and Xu Tiange, who were not far away, pricked up their ears when they heard the man's words.

"What is it?" Zuo Qinglong asked directly without avoiding Lin Shen and the others.

"It's a person who seems to be a human but also seems not to be a human." The man said with a strange expression.

"What do you mean by someone who looks like a human, but also doesn't look like a human? Is he a member of the Super-Burning Clan?" Zuo Qinglong was startled.

"No, not the Super-burner, nor the angel. How should I put it? It's just a person, but half of his face is not human, it's made of metal." The man tried his best to think of how to describe it, but his education level was limited and he didn't know how to describe it completely. "Alive or dead?" Zuo Qinglong asked with a frown.

"It looks like it's dead, and its body seems to be growing inside the tree."

"Brother Lin, Brother Xu, do you want to go and take a look together?" Zuo Qinglong pondered for a moment, looked at Lin Shen and Xu Tiange and said.

"Okay." Lin Shen was also very curious. There was a person growing on the tree, which was really a strange thing.

Under the leadership of Zuo Qinglong, several people climbed up using the rope. It was much easier to climb with the rope.

But because it was too high, it took several people more than 40 minutes to climb to the lowest branch. The man just now climbed here, tied the rope and went down.

Several people stood on a thick branch. The branch was as wide as a road, so there was plenty of room for several people to stand on it.

"It's right there." The man pointed his finger into the treetops above.

Lin Shen and his companions looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, they saw a person sitting cross-legged inside the tree next to a branch above.

The back part of his body merged into the tree trunk, like a human-shaped relief growing out of the trunk.

It was no longer possible to see the color of his clothes, as they were covered in white frost, and so was his hair.

The face was relatively clean, with only some white frost on the eyebrows.

Lin Shen looked at him carefully and found that it was just as the man from the Sword Alliance had said. The left half of this man's face was flesh, and the other half was made of steel with a mirror-like effect. It looked very strange.

"It seems to be a real person, but why does half of his face look like he is wearing a stainless steel mask?" Xu Tiange said as he looked at him.

"It's not a mask, at least not an ordinary mask. Look at his neck inside his collar." Zuo Qinglong said.

Lin Shen looked at the opening of the strange man's collar. Although only a part of his neck was exposed, he could see that his neck was half flesh and half steel.

"Half human, half machine, this can't be the man-made robot from the past." Xu Tiange said with a blink.

"Even if it is a man-made robot, it should be made by aliens," Tu Xiaodao added.

"Let's take a closer look." The distance was too far and it was difficult to see clearly. After saying this, Zuo Qinglong climbed up first.

Several people from the Sword Alliance followed, and Lin Shen and others also crawled over there.

There is no rope here, so we can only climb up by grabbing the cracks in the bark. The tree is cold and the trunk is slippery, so it is not easy to climb up.

Fortunately, the location where the man was was not too far away, and it didn't take them too much time to climb to the tree branch and stand on it to get close to the strange man.

Looking at him carefully from a close distance, I felt that this man was very strange. His face was half flesh and half metal. However, where the flesh and metal met, the metal and flesh seemed to have grown together. The flesh seeped into the metal, and the metal also seeped into the flesh. The boundary between them had become blurred.

Several people had never seen such a thing before. It was not uncommon to implant metal into the human body, but they had never seen metal and flesh grow together.

Even if it is a genetically modified shell, it is an independent shell formed after the genetically modified substance comes out of the body, and they are not grown together.

"Look, there seems to be something on his body." Xu Tiange pointed at the man and suddenly shouted.
