Wilderness is not stiff

"They created me unintentionally just before they left. My name is Sidoye, which represents hope in Blue Star's oldest source culture." The old tree man flashed his muddy gray-green eyes, The big eyes that looked a little stiff shook the crown of the tree, and there was a soft rustle before he continued: "The polluted herds of beasts in the outside world attack humans madly once every seven years. I was born a year before the beast tide. In the tide, they put me and other experimental subjects in an outdoor environment, only I was kept without going crazy, they originally planned to conduct more experiments on me, but..."

The big mouth like a crack in the tree man opened and closed in vain, but in the end he didn't say anything. After a few minutes, he continued at a quarter of the speed of ordinary people: "These things are all told by my father later. , I was young at the time and I don’t remember anything, but one day the researcher who was in charge of taking care of me, I call him Dad, stumbled upon the fact that I was born with consciousness or wisdom, he was happy and scared, but at that time they left Soon, my father struggled for a long time and finally decided to hide this matter. He often smiled and shared with me the things in the outside world, and rubbed my crown to teach me not to show my flaws in front of outsiders. I think he loves me. But sometimes he often looked at me and sighed, asking me why I couldn’t be stronger, and I could be stronger, and I would answer him with a smile, I’m just a tree, a small tree..."

"So..." Xue Xue, who followed behind, hesitated for a second, and asked with difficulty: "Sidoye, with your current appearance, do you count as a human, an animal, or a plant?"

The tree man obviously didn't feel any offense, and was even very happy to be asked this question. He slightly curled his eyes and laughed abruptly: "I don't know, I have wisdom like a human, and like a plant, I have been living for a long time. Staying outside will not be polluted to the point of madness, oh, I am still like an animal, it is said that when I am in a herd of mad beasts, I will be regarded as the same kind of wild beasts and will not be attacked by any.”

The tree man in front of him simply included all the advantages of people, animals, and plants surviving in the wilderness. Thinking about the hope of naming him a man at the beginning, everyone couldn't help being a little excited, but then shuddered. Perhaps, standing now The ones in front of them are intelligent creatures that are truly suitable for surviving in this world, so what about them... After the tree man finished answering, everyone fell silent tacitly, until senior sister Luoyan couldn't help but still asked that question Exit: "Can you reproduce?"

The old tree man was startled and trembled twice. Two dry and curled leaves fluttered down from his well-trimmed canopy. He widened his eyes and explained in panic at half the speed of ordinary people. Said: "I... I am a fusion creature created by humans, no, no! I can't reproduce by myself, hahaha, otherwise my descendants would have invaded this city for 5000 years..." He said dryly After explaining, he took two steps back bluntly, and looked around everyone cautiously. He had never communicated with anyone for about 5000 years, and the people present could see through his panic at a glance, but the surroundings were quiet. People continued to talk, but no one came out to expose him.

"Where did you say they went?" In this embarrassing and depressing silence, the tall man next to Beiqi asked recklessly.

"At that time, my consciousness was fuzzy, and I could only repeat a few of the same words. I vaguely knew that they were going to leave, but I didn't know the true meaning of leaving." The old tree man paused, and continued: "Until one day, Dad and everyone else disappeared. I waited here for a full five thousand and 430 years. I thought about it for a long time. I used to think that he would come back to pick me up, but one day I finally realized that human life is limited. Later, I gradually didn’t want to As for where they went in the end, I have thought about it for a long time, probably there." He stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed to the sky above his head.

"Dead?" the tall warrior roared in disbelief.

"Hahahahaha..." The old tree man trembled all over, and slowly laughed, the leaves all over the tree rustled non-stop with his hoarse laughter.

Senior sister Luoyan glared at the speaker dissatisfied, and asked cautiously: "Did they leave this planet?"

In the suffocating silence, the old tree man slowly stopped trembling. He didn't speak or move. He raised his big eyes, looked blankly at the gray ceiling, sighed, and finally nodded.

"I thought he would take me with me..." he said softly.

"What else do you know! Why did the beast tide appear, and why was the world on the verge of destruction at that time?" Senior sister Luoyan suddenly became hysterical, and she asked in a sharp voice like a cannonball. The old tree man was frightened and stunned. Shuang Bai was also stunned. He seemed to be able to answer these questions when he remembered that the end of the beast tide was caused by meteorites from the sky. As for meteorites... that's right!Those crucial animal walls, I interrupted them last night, and forgot to mention all these important things that had been drafted in his mind for a long time. He kept feeling depressed, but saw the tree man shaking his head blankly, "I have been living Here, I was still a naive child when they left..."

According to reports, this ancient city named Lotus is roughly divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor is the living and living area of ​​the people in the city, and complex defense measures have been established on the periphery to resist the beast tide. The upper floor where they are now is the entire city. It is a technological and cultural center where all sophisticated experiments are carried out.

"The vicious beasts in the city below, it seems that I forgot to close the gate of the animal garden and escaped one year. My legs and feet are really weak, so I let them go if I couldn't catch up." The old tree recalled the past, trembling. Zhiye was very emotional. After a while, he widened his deep round eyes and said: "The upper layer is also divided into inner and outer cities. I can't enter the inner city. I can only wander around here for many years..."

The old tree man who lived alone in the ancient city for 5000 years slowly put down the big gardening scissors and his small pink bucket in the small warehouse on the side of the botanical garden, led them out of the botanical garden, turned around and closed the botanical garden carefully The gate led them to walk along the bright and dark corridor familiarly, and finally stopped in front of a gray wall after a while. He stretched out his hand with a dead branch, and patted the gray wall several times stiffly, and then Taking two steps back, a new corridor was silently opened on the wall in front of them, and they followed it carefully.

Not long after, this equally gloomy but icy corridor also came to an end. "I can only lead you here. Passing this door is the core city of Lotus. Unfortunately, my father carried me in once when I was very young..." The old tree man stood in a silver-black door. In front of the metal gate, shaking the meticulous tree crown above his head, he turned around cheerfully, suddenly stopped talking, and slowly blinked his two big gray-green eyes twice.

"Listen!" Two students from the Academy of Forces stepped forward suddenly, holding the two corners of the door with both hands, and they were about to open the door. The old tree man suddenly stopped sternly, and he stepped back carefully to the back of the crowd, trembling all over. Shaking, he stared seriously at the two people who were stunned: "This door cannot be disarmed casually, even if it's just a password test—let me think about it..." He shook the canopy, closed his eyes, and trembled all over his body. For a quarter of an hour, when the crowd was about to be unbearable, a strange smile appeared on his statue-like blunt face. He opened his eyes and grinned and said, "Once this place is destroyed by violence, you will be destroyed along the way." All the corridors will immediately protrude from the exhaust holes, releasing a large amount of biological poisonous gas in an instant, killing all creatures outside the core area, and then, the whole city will explode in a few seconds, and even I will not be spared by that time, I will I think you'd better think carefully before acting."

Two tall and healthy men, their backs stiffened, their faces darkened, carefully let go of their hands, tiptoed back, waited for a moment of silence, and suddenly the crowd began to chatter.

——For so many years, who knows if this poisonous gas is still effective. It sounds like we are different from the ancient weak humans. We have experienced evolution time and time again in the wilderness. Maybe this poisonous gas has no effect on us at all!What about the explosion!Can't we all be frozen and isolated in an instant with ice cubes—absolutely not!This is too risky, otherwise ask him how powerful the explosion is... Are you crazy? If he knows how he can still stand here, that is the amount of explosion that can directly destroy a city. We are only a few elementalists. Otherwise, go here for a while, gather enough people when you go back, and start over again. Everyone has different opinions and disagrees with each other, and the tree man stands quietly in the corner as if watching them curiously.

Also joining in the fun, Shuang Bai, who couldn't get in the conversation because his grade was too low, was bored listening to their heated argument, secretly looking at the password input box on the door, and suddenly noticed that Senior Luo Yan came up and intercepted it from him earlier. The senior of Heishu whispered a few words in his ear, this trip they naturally divided into schools, apart from herself from the pharmacist department, Yiling from the medical department, only Luoyan from the shadow department and this mysterious senior, Shuang It was the first time Bai saw this senior when he came out this time, and he couldn't figure out the details of the other party at all.

The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, senior sister Luoyan squeezed into the crowd and came to the front of the gate, the senior who followed behind her slowly closed his eyes in front of the crowd, stretched out his white fingers to touch the wall of the gate, Senior sister Xiang Luoyan nodded slightly.

"...Well, seniors and sisters, please be quiet and cooperate with everyone, including Mr. Sidoye, the old tree man here. Please close your eyes, turn around, and don't try to peep. It belongs to the need of performing surgery, believe me, doing so has no purpose other than embarrassing each other..."

"Do you have a way to open this door?" Someone yelled in the crowd, Senior Luoyan looked uncertainly at the senior with an unchanged expression, and nodded heavily.

In this way, including senior sister Luoyan, everyone took two steps back to make room for the unknown senior to perform the spell. Shuang Bai turned around after him, thinking about what was going on, while slowly Slowly close your eyes, the hazy darkness keeps gathering in front of your eyes, people around you are holding your breath, and occasionally you can catch a trace of panting and heartbeat, Frost White feels a transparent ripple in front of your eyes in the broken and chaotic darkness intertwined with peripheral vision. It flashed by before he had time to think, and then the memory that had been sealed here for many years seemed to be suddenly activated——

All kinds of pictures crashed into people's minds in a chaotic and disorderly manner, and someone seemed to exclaim in one's ear, and soon Shuangbai could no longer pay attention to the outside world, and with the influx of a large number of pictures, his ears gradually became blurred In the buzzing and chaotic vision, all kinds of short and thin ancients in white coats can be seen hurriedly walking in the corridor, chatting with each other from time to time, and they quickly came to the gate—— With the same identity card in his hand, the door opened silently. Shuang Bai just wanted to get a closer look, but he felt that the large amount of strong light inside the door made him unable to open his eyes. In this way, the shining door opened and closed countless times , when he was so bored that he couldn't take it anymore, a smaller white coat suddenly appeared around him, his whereabouts were surreptitious, he hurried to the door, unexpectedly did not raise his badge, looked around cautiously, and then stretched out. Quickly tapped a few times on the password input terminal at the door with a finger and the door opened—the surroundings felt cold, and there was a sliding friction sound in front, Shuang Bai suddenly opened his eyes and turned around, just in time to see the password input box beside the senior. After a few flashes, the door opened——

"Ka—that tree man is gone!" Before the crowd woke up excited, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted in panic, he ran away, he ran away!Where did he go, let's chase him, he can't run very slowly!Someone was eager to try, but the senior standing by the door suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at them indifferently, his voice was soft but still clear to everyone's ears: "It's useless, he is no longer around here."

He closed his eyes again, felt it for a while, thought for a while and continued: "There is a strange energy device on him, which took him away the moment I opened the door, and I couldn't stop him." After a while, he finally He opened his eyes and confirmed: "Now, he is no longer inside this ruin."

Everyone was taken aback, and they all became depressed, saying that there must be a secret hidden in him, no, it must be a conspiracy against them, and they fled when they saw that it was about to fail, but unfortunately, it was too late to chase him now.

Everyone complained for a while, and then refocused their eyes on the open door. The faint glow left by memory flickered on the door, but the disappointing ordinaryness inside the door was exactly the same as the countless corridors they passed along the way. For a moment, Shuangbai thought the same as everyone else, they were deceived.

Under the various conspiracy theories of the tree people, everyone cautiously walked into the passage separated by the luminous gate. The organ was activated, and everyone calmed down a bit, suddenly there was a faint and clear female voice coming from nowhere, it seemed to come out from all directions:

"You are finally here..."
