He always asks me to send propositions [End Times]
Chapter 92 Titanium Demon VS Hibiscus Tree
She took out another pack of cigarettes and specially gave it to Luo Qingyun: "Captain Luo, this is what our Team Chen asked me to bring to you. Everyone has worked hard, take care."
Luo Qingyun took the cigarette and looked at it, and immediately smiled, "This is the bottom of that guy Chen Jiu's box. Could it be that his dormitory has collapsed, otherwise why would he be willing to smoke it for me. "
Chen Jiu's scolding sound came from the communicator: "You bastard, you don't deserve to smoke good cigarettes! You should smoke three packs for ten yuan!"
Luo Qingyun wasn't angry at all, in the eyes of the head of logistics, she was really reserved.
"I can draw ten yuan and three packs, and my inspector must draw good ones."
After finishing speaking, Luo Qingyun took out a cigarette, held it between her lips, lit it, and after taking two puffs, she came to Tan Mo who was squatting aside and checking the holographic image of Hanhai City on the communicator.
Tan Mo smelled the smell of smoke, so he opened his mouth slightly naturally, Luo Qingyun sent the smoke in, Tan Mo bit the cigarette and frowned and said: "The invasion of Hanhai City is quite serious. Look at this What is it?"
Luo Qingyun looked over, and frowned.
Almost half of Hanhai City has been occupied by deformed creatures. In the center of the occupation, a towering tree grew, with lush branches and leaves, dotted with silver-blue starlight. It looked like an elf tree in a fantasy movie.
"Is this Hestia? It doesn't look like it. I didn't see a large electrostatic particle." Tan Mo tilted his head.
Li Zhefeng came over, squatted on the other side, zoomed in on the part, and looked down, "This is not Hestia. But it reminds me of a legendary symbiosis of Kepler's creatures—the hibiscus tree."
"Fusang tree? Is this an academic name, or is it a nickname?" Tan Mo was sure that he had not read any Keplerian creatures such as hibiscus tree in any materials in the five years since he entered the field.
"This is its nickname. Its name in Kepler ecology should be Kepler Chimera. I think we should ask Professor He for advice." Luo Qingyun said.
The energy of the aircraft has been half charged, and Hanhai City is completely falling, so they don't have much time.
He Yingzhi connected with them and started a temporary lecture.
Not only the people from Tanmo and the others, but other staff from Beichen City also surrounded them.
Professor He's class is hard to find.
The holographic projection showed the big tree in Hanhai City that covered the sky and the earth in front of everyone, and He Yingzhi specially magnified its details.
"Team Li's guess is not wrong. This is the chimera nicknamed 'Fusang Tree'. When I was doing research with Professor Ling, I speculated on this living body, that is, it represents Kepler's Highly deformed creatures. Everyone has heard of conjoined animals, such as hydra and double-headed scorpions in ancient legends."
Tan Mo nodded while listening carefully.
"It's just that most of these deformed creatures are identical eggs that did not separate normally during embryonic development. But the hibiscus tree fuses all creatures in the ecological zone, regardless of species. Its name comes from ancient legends. It is made of intertwined mulberry trees, which can connect mortals with the gods and the underworld. According to legend, the hibiscus tree has three layers, and each layer has a three-legged golden crow."
The screen zoomed in to the top layer of the hibiscus tree. If you don’t look at it, you won’t know it.
On its top floor are countless deformed monsters roaring and roaring, even biting each other, making each other their own food and nutrition. The surviving creatures must have super attack power, half of their bodies can move freely, and the other half It is integrated with the hibiscus tree and cannot break free.
"This... the three-legged Golden Crow is known as the soul of the sun. When I was a child, I was also a fan of myths and legends. These are completely deformed monsters." Zhou Xubai frowned, "Although these monsters cannot escape the control of the hibiscus tree, in order to live Go down, they will swear to protect this tree."
"The monster is just a monster. It is not the first time you have encountered it. As for the second layer of the hibiscus tree is its trunk." He Yingzhi pushed the picture closer.
This is already the clearest picture that satellite remote sensing can deliver.
The trunk is already as thick as seven or eight communication towers, and the trunk seems to be flowing. When you look closely, you find that there are monsters like chisels in the fiber tubes inside the trunk, but they are definitely not chisels. , but instead...
"The trunk of the hibiscus tree is formed after the snakes blend with each other."
After He Yingzhi finished speaking, they could tell that those flying snakes had grown together, and their flesh and bones were inseparable from each other. Some heads grew together with the back of another flying snake. The twisted posture made people sick.
These snakes swim to the top of the tree to join the fight of the monsters.
"What about the third floor?" Tan Mo asked.
"The third layer is the underground branches. The branches of the hibiscus tree extend thousands of meters underground to absorb all the nutrients, and... its roots will continue to extend underground. According to the satellite cloud images, its roots have already It has taken over the entire Hanhai City." He Yingzhi's voice was tight.
This shows that the harm of hibiscus trees is far from just a city.
"It's like a big tumor, leading all living things to heresy. I dare to fight, it's a great gift from my good brother." Tan Mo said.
"According to the previous research of your mother and me, we believe that the hibiscus tree is a highly deformed expression. It only pays attention to the acquisition of energy, not the life itself. While accelerating its own deformation, it is also destroying the surrounding creatures .”
Tan Mo took a deep breath, and his heart suddenly became heavy: "This is a declaration of 'common destruction'."
"It must be destroyed." He Taki said.
His eyes were red and his fists were clenched.
"Uncle He?" Tan Mo looked at the other party, "Have you... fought Fusang tree before?"
He Taki took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Yes. This thing is the first thing created by that bastard trapped in Base Zero."
Tan Mo was stunned, "Uncle He, what did you say? He created it?"
"Well. My teammates and I escorted Professor He and you out of the base. We were about to go out. In the last passage, a tree suddenly grew along the passage, chasing us. It is embedded like this Fitting together, it contains all the characteristics of creatures such as Indira, Devil Vine, Rodent Flower, and Forbidden Lake...just not so big."
He Taki's hand was tightly held.
Tan Mo's heart seemed to have been stabbed severely, and the painful roars of those uncles were still in his mind.Some of them are unwilling to become the nourishment of the hibiscus tree, and choose to blow themselves up when they are caught.
The back of the head was flicked lightly, and Luo Qingyun's voice rang in her ears, "Why are you in a daze. This thing looks huge, but it doesn't mean we can't kill it."
"How to kill it?" Tan Mo looked over.
If this damn hibiscus tree can be defeated, it will not only impress Central City, but also allow mankind to win the biggest victory against Kepler's world, and even deal a heavy blow to "him" in Base Zero.
Luo Qingyun smiled lightly, "You're quite smart. Think about it."
After finishing speaking, Luo Qingyun raised Tan Mo's hand and placed it on her chest.
His index finger was just on Tan Mo's titanium ring.
Something flashed across Tan Mo's mind, and Tan Mo's eyes lit up, "You mean... Titanium Demon?"
"Timonium? Can it deal with hibiscus trees?" Zhou Xubai asked uncertainly.
After all, the titanium demon on Tan Mo's finger is only that big, but the hibiscus tree is a towering giant tree.An embroidery needle can't pierce the Tongtian tree!
He Yingzhi is also not very optimistic, "Our titanium demon is only a young species. Even if it enters the body of the hibiscus tree, this metal is not enough to block the nutrient transfer and biological deformation of the hibiscus tree."
Tan Mo opened the holographic image of Hanhai City, especially the underground part, "Maybe our titanium demon kid can really do it. There is a metal mine in the suburbs of Hanhai City!"
Everyone poked their heads and looked carefully.
"Hey, there really are metal mines! This is a copper-iron mine!"
"And the mine is very deep, no wonder Hanhai City is known as a frontier industrial giant."
Tan Mo touched his finger, and the titanium demon circled it twice, "Hey, do you want to?"
There is a feeling in my mind that although the titanium demon is a little scared, it is willing.
He Yingzhi immediately calculated the copper-iron ore in Hanhai City. Based on the current size of the hibiscus tree and its growth in the next three hours, assuming that this tonnage of copper-iron ore enters the body of the hibiscus tree, can it make it poisonous to heavy metals? And it will damage its cell tissue.
"It's about [-]% sure." He Yingzhi told them.
"Okay, let's give it a try, if it doesn't work, we'll withdraw. If we can't beat it, it's important to save our lives." Tan Mo turned his ring.
At this time, the energy of all the aircraft has been fully charged, ensuring that they will not sink after flying for more than ten hours.
When Tan Mo and Luo Qingyun stepped onto the aircraft, Chen Jiu initiated a communication with them.
"Luo Qingyun, I heard that you are going to kill the hibiscus tree?"
"Yes. Thank you for the cigarettes."
"Tsk, my cigarettes are not dead end cigarettes, but happy cigarettes. You have to come back alive." Chen Jiu said seriously.
"Ah."
Tan Mo and the others had already taken off and sailed into the night.
"Silver Bay is already a purely defensive base, and Han Hai must be rebuilt and uninhabitable. Only our Beichen City can sing and dance."
"I know, once the hibiscus tree is settled, I'll come to drink with you." Luo Qingyun said.
"It's a word."
They flew farther and farther, and finally left the communication range with Chen Jiu.
And in the rescue aircraft following them a few hundred meters away, the rescue captain's expression turned ugly.
"They are crazy! Professor He, you should stop them! They are ants shaking the tree-court die!"
He Yingzhi, who was sitting in front of the holographic image, had a serious expression. He said in a calm tone: "All our knowledge of Kepler's ecology comes from the ants shaking the tree again and again."
At this time, Central City has issued an order, requiring the rescue team leader to prevent Tan Mo and the others from going to Hanhai City at any cost.
Because Tan Mo is currently the only human being with Kepler's spiritual body, and also the only human being who can communicate with Kepler's creatures.
This is so precious.
If he has any accidents in Hanhai City, Kepler will no longer have any scruples.
The rescue team leader quickly walked in front of He Yingzhi, he suddenly took out his gun and put it on He Yingzhi's head.
"What are you doing!" Lu Ying was about to rush over, but was immediately restrained by other members of the rescue team.
An Xiaohe, Chu Yu, and Zhuang Jing saw that something was wrong, and fought against the rescue team.
There was chaos throughout the cabin.
"I have been ordered to shoot Professor He!"
The rescue captain shouted loudly, An Xiao and the others had no choice but to stop, their guns pointing at each other's guns, in a stalemate.
Lu Ying snorted coldly: "I don't believe it! If you dare to touch Professor He's hair, you will be executed if you go back to Central City!"
The rescue captain replied: "If I can't stop Tan Mo and the others from going to die, Central City will also execute me."
The expression on He Yingzhi's face didn't change at all, he raised his hand and put his finger on the muzzle of the gun next to his temple.
"You sent back the images of Tan Mo and the others in Yinwan and Beichen, right?"
The rescue captain replied: "Yes."
"Thank you very much. Judging from Central City's attitude, they have already recognized Tan Mo's ability. But do you know what Central City has been making decisions on? " He Yingzhi asked.
"Central City Council," said the rescue captain.
"Then do you know what the committee of Central City is made of?" He Yingzhi asked again.
"Elite selected from all walks of life, including biology, business, sociology, etc."
He Yingzhi shook his head, "It was a huge mistake to start exploring Kepler 22B by the Exploration Alliance. And this mistake itself came from human greed. Therefore, the real core of the Central City Committee is not the elites from all walks of life. It's a master computer program that is so complex and detailed that you can't even imagine it."
The rescue captain was stunned, "You... what are you talking about? The main computer program?"
"It has no emotions, only data. It calculates all possibilities through a huge database. And it has only one purpose of existence, which is to take the survival of human beings as the ultimate goal. The value of all of us, including me, is for It provides data to make predictions."
The rescue captain's gun trembled slightly, "Who designed that main computer?"
"It originated from the spacecraft of the Kepler Exploration Alliance. Originally, this program was designed to land on the Kepler planet. The parameters in it are all about knowledge in the fields of astronomy, ecology, etc., and the purpose is to help the spacecraft cope with various Later, when the human world was eroded by Kepler’s ecology, in order to avoid human factors affecting the judgment, this program was redesigned, its values were wider, and the decisions made were closely related to the future of mankind.”
This stunned everyone in the aircraft.
"This... is this true?" An Xiaohe was stunned.
They've been taking orders from a master computer program all these years?This simply overturned the three views of everyone present.
"That's why I asked you to send the video of Tanmo protecting Yinwan and Beichen back to Central City, because only then the main computer will reassess the importance of Tanmo. But if the fate of human beings is always determined by the main computer Prediction, then we will always live in the program created by ourselves. The setting of the main computer is to ensure the survival of human beings. As for how human beings survive, whether they live in humiliation, surviving under the suppression of Kepler’s ecology, or hold their heads high It is not within the calculation range of the main computer." He Yingzhi said.
The rescue captain snorted coldly: "Professor He, you have betrayed Central City by revealing such core secrets to me. I have the right to..."
"What right? Kill me?" He Yingzhi raised his eyes and looked at the rescue captain without fear, "Do you think Tanmo and the others will do something they are not sure about? Don't you think human beings need a fight?" Victory to prove that we can overcome the deformed Kepler ecology?"
The rescue captain just said coldly: "Contact Tan Mo and ask him to turn around. Otherwise, I will really..."
Before the rescue captain finished speaking, He Yingzhi said, "I won't stop him. The main computer needs new data to update its predictive ability."
At this moment, the rescue captain felt something coming behind him. Just as he was about to turn his head, someone had already pressed his wrist down very quickly, and the other party's fingers clasped his tiger's mouth, but in an instant, he The gun was taken away by the opponent.
When he saw clearly who that person was, he was shocked.
"Jiang...Jiang Huailin? You're not...Aren't you in a coma?" The rescue captain was stunned.
Jiang Huailin stood in front of He Yingzhi, "Captain, I believe they can defeat the hibiscus tree. Are you sure you want to force Tan Mo and the others to retreat? Every time they retreat, the living space of human beings will become smaller, and in the end there is no way to retreat. We Shenzhou Group is willing to support Tan Mo and their actions at all costs."
The rescue captain never expected that Jiang Huailin would have such mobility and speed, he felt like a blender.
Jiang Huailin returned the gun to the rescue captain, "Don't doubt, you are not my opponent. You only have two choices now, one is to be thrown out of this aircraft by me, and the other is to follow Tan Mo."
The atmosphere was tense for a while, and suddenly there was applause.
The rescue captain frowned and looked over, only to find that it was An Xiaohe.
An Xiaohe showed a surprised expression: "Little Jiang Dong is so skilled, what's even more rare is that he finally stood on the right stand. Isn't it worthy of applause?"
"Idiot." Chu Yu rolled her eyes.
At this time, Tan Mo and Luo Qingyun had already entered the airspace of Hanhai City.
The hibiscus tree grew faster than they imagined, and its branches and leaves were gone, replaced by roaring monsters.
Their heads are biting each other, and the fighting scene is even more terrifying than what I saw in the hologram before coming here. The whole body is full of blue fluorescence, which shows that its Kepler energy is very strong.
In order to suppress its growth, the central city has carried out long-range strikes on this place before. More than a dozen missiles hit the same location, but as long as the roots of the hibiscus tree are not destroyed, it will continue to absorb nutrients and regenerate.
Just like even if the tumor is surgically removed, the cancer cells will still metastasize or recur.
When the monsters fused with the hibiscus tree sensed that a fused person entered their domain, they suddenly gave up fighting each other and rushed to the sky instead.
Some of them are two-headed monsters, and some have another monster fused in their mouths, crazy and sick.
"Let's bypass it." Tan Mo said to his companions.
Their target is copper iron ore.
But those monsters didn't want to let them go, they came biting, and the whole hibiscus tree leaned towards them.
There is no nonsense, Zhou Xubai directly released a large number of nerve tentacles, and spread a huge net in midair, Li Zhefeng's black fire burned along the net, those crazy monsters hit the net, Zhou Xubai turned his wrist, and the net Immediately gathered, they struggled.
When they broke through the net, Tan Mo and the others had already flown a long way.
The hibiscus tree sensed the presence of its prey, and kept growing towards them. The giant tree that stood between the sky and the earth was completely distorted, and its roots located in the ground couldn't wait to break out of the ground, spirally chasing the aircraft in midair.
The aircraft was fully powered, and finally came to the top of the copper-iron mine.
The Titanium Demon on Tan Mo's finger moved, formed a small metal ball, and fell down.
The moment it touched the ground, it quickly permeated down, and began to condense and absorb the metal elements in the ground.
On the top of the hibiscus tree, those monsters devoured each other, leaving only the last nine heads, and the attack speed and range far exceeded Tan Mo's expectations.
The tandem aircraft was originally a small aircraft with a limited height, and the nine-headed monster seemed to be about to bite them.
They can only use the angle of flight to lure these monsters into hitting each other.
One of the monsters rushed straight behind Wu Yusheng and He Long.
"Be careful--"
Fortunately, Wu Yusheng's piloting skills are superb, and he escaped in a thrilling manner, but he didn't expect another monster to spit out from the head's mouth, and it was about to bite their aircraft off.
"Bang——" a blast popped out of the chamber, brushed He Taki's cheek, and shot straight into the monster's mouth.
There was a loud noise, and the blood mist dispersed, and the monster's head was blown off, leaving only the neck limp and falling down, and the monster that spit it out swallowed it back in one gulp.
This scene really ruined the three views, and I had to spit out the overnight meal.
In pursuit of Tan Mo and the others, the tree even pulled its roots out of the ground, walking like a giant land jellyfish.
"Fuck - what is this thing! Can you still play like this?" Wu Yusheng's eyeballs were about to pop out
Its roots picked up countless sand and stones, and there were bursts of dust. Tan Mo and the others unanimously turned on the dust removal function of the combat uniform mask.
In the thick dust, two or three monsters suddenly approached without making a sound.
He Taki had endured this guy for a long time, and he punched it hard the moment it hit.
The so-called effect of force is mutual, after this punch, their aircraft accelerated away, and the monster's face was so shocked by He Taki's punch that it festered.
It whimpered, and was instantly bitten off by another monster. The sound of flesh and bones being crushed came, and there was a stench in the wind, and another round of fusion and regeneration began.
The hibiscus tree was getting closer and closer. Tanmo and the others could not guide it to the direction of human habitation, but could only fly to the outside of the separation wall.
This also means that they will go deep into the deformed ecological zone, and the risk factor will increase exponentially.
The damaged separation wall could be faintly seen, and at that moment, Tan Mo suddenly turned the direction of the aircraft.
"what happened?"
Zhou Xubai was taken aback, for fear that Tan Mo would crash into the mouth of the hibiscus tree when he turned around.
But unexpectedly, the hibiscus tree seemed to be bound by something, and its struggling and twisted figure could be faintly seen in the dust.
Tan Mo's eyes narrowed, "It's done."
"What happened?" Wu Yusheng asked uncertainly even though he knew the answer.
"Our titanium demon has successfully entered the body of the Fusang tree." Luo Qingyun's lips curled up.
All the aircraft hovered near the hibiscus tree, not daring to approach it easily.
Gradually, the monsters on the top of the hibiscus tree began to roar heart-piercingly, the smoke and dust finally dissipated, and the wide and clear vision made them feel a huge shock at the scene in front of them.
The metal swims in the hibiscus tree, covering its nutrient-absorbing branches. The soaring snake in the branch is invaded by the titanium demon. After being metalized, it is in great pain. The trunk cannot support it and begins to disintegrate.
The deformed monsters on the top of the tree tried to break free, and the Tau turned into sharp metal and pierced them all.
In just half a minute, the hibiscus tree turned into a metal tree, stiffened and shattered in all directions, like a huge metal building, the building collapsed, and the sound of metal bending made eardrums sting.
The impaled monsters fell whimpering, they were tied into metal flowers.
"Damn it... this is a hibiscus tree! The hibiscus tree that destroyed the entire city, just like that... the game is over?" Wu Yusheng was incredulous.
"No, it hasn't finished playing, but the Titanium Demon is supporting it tenaciously. As long as it drives the Titanium Demon out of its body, it can recover quickly."
Li Zhefeng narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Then burn it to death. Burn it thoroughly."
Zhou Xubai instantly understood Li Zhefeng's meaning, "Please help the Titanium Demon to dig out its underground part."
Tan Mo could empathize with the Titanium Demon, and his thoughts were instantly transmitted to the Titanium Demon. The hibiscus tree twisted, but its rhizome was still pulled out from the ground. Most of the ground in Hanhai City trembled. The underground network was dragged out by the Titanium demon in this way, the scene was too grand.
"How... how to burn it?" Zhou Xubai looked back at Li Zhefeng.
Li Zhefeng's hair fluttered in the wind, "You can burn as much as you can. If you don't kill it, is it necessary for the titanium demon to restrain it in its body forever?"
"Okay, let's net its head first." Zhou Xubai took a deep breath, the nerve tentacles formed a guide rope, fell from a high altitude, entangled a monster, and sealed its mouth tightly.
Li Zhefeng's index finger hooked the tentacles, flicked lightly, and the black fire burned down along the guide rope.
The black fire came, the Tau demon left the monster, it was burned to ashes by the black fire, and repeated like this, they forcibly burned the top of the hibiscus tree bare.
The Soaring Snakes in the tree trunk struggled to swim out, but were grabbed by the Tau Demon, and the metal spread in their bodies.
"Maybe we have to find a way to make Team Li's fire burn more intensely." Luo Qingyun leaned against Tan Mo's ear and said.
"How violent?" The moment Tan Mo and Luo Qingyun looked at each other, they understood what he was thinking.
Luo Qingyun continued: "Team Li has a spiritual body, and this is in line with Kepler's animistic biological characteristics. My suggestion is that you go to Team Li's Kepler world and start from the 'I' Go to 'Kewo', find his Kepler spirit body, and..."
"And connect him to the Kepler energy source?" Tan Mo asked.
Once connected to the Kepler energy source, Tan Mo suspected that Li Zhefeng would burn down a hibiscus tree, let alone burn it all the way to base zero... If his body wasn't as strong as Luo Qingyun's Words that are easily broken.
"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?"
Luo Qingyun's words made Tan Mo eager to try.He had been thinking for a long time that he could reconnect the deformed Kepler creature and the energy source, why couldn't the Fusionist.
Isn't it because the degree of Keplerization is not enough, so there is no concrete spiritual body?
Those fusions who died in Base Zero, since they were able to stop Tan Mo when he was about to cross the border, it shows that they have spiritual bodies.
If they have it, Li Zhefeng must have it too.
Tan Mo decided to give it a try, he quickly approached Li Zhefeng, and stretched out his hand towards him.
But at that moment, the nerve tentacles that Zhou Xubai had released to catch the Soaring Snake were pulled severely by the hibiscus tree, and Zhou Xubai was almost pulled away from the aircraft by such a powerful force.
All this happened so suddenly, Zhou Xubai and Li Zhefeng's tandem aircraft lost its balance and turned over.
"Captain Zhou!" Li Zhefeng's first reaction was to save Zhou Xubai.
He grabbed the aircraft with one hand, and grabbed Zhou Xubai with the other, but the power of the hibiscus tree was too great, and the drag force of the engine of the aircraft was insufficient, so they plummeted.
Tan Mo was so frightened that his soul rushed to the top of his forehead, and he drove the aircraft to chase after him.
faster!Hurry up!They can't die!
And the hibiscus tree was suppressing the titanium demon in its body, a flying snake raised its head from the trunk, opened its mouth wide, and Li Zhefeng and the others were about to fall into its mouth.
Tan Mo's mind went blank, his muscles tensed up, and his body leaned out of the aircraft. At that moment, he wanted to grab their nipples more than anything else.
Just when Li Zhefeng and Zhou Xubai were about to fall, countless pale golden energy lines fell down densely. The moment Li Zhefeng met Tan Mo's eyes, he seemed to be dragged into another world.
Those energy lines penetrated his skin, swam in his cells, and an indescribable force permeated his brain in a very short time.
Li Zhefeng didn't believe in the existence of the soul since he was a child, but at this moment, he felt that something had left his body and sank to a deeper place.
Luo Qingyun took the cigarette and looked at it, and immediately smiled, "This is the bottom of that guy Chen Jiu's box. Could it be that his dormitory has collapsed, otherwise why would he be willing to smoke it for me. "
Chen Jiu's scolding sound came from the communicator: "You bastard, you don't deserve to smoke good cigarettes! You should smoke three packs for ten yuan!"
Luo Qingyun wasn't angry at all, in the eyes of the head of logistics, she was really reserved.
"I can draw ten yuan and three packs, and my inspector must draw good ones."
After finishing speaking, Luo Qingyun took out a cigarette, held it between her lips, lit it, and after taking two puffs, she came to Tan Mo who was squatting aside and checking the holographic image of Hanhai City on the communicator.
Tan Mo smelled the smell of smoke, so he opened his mouth slightly naturally, Luo Qingyun sent the smoke in, Tan Mo bit the cigarette and frowned and said: "The invasion of Hanhai City is quite serious. Look at this What is it?"
Luo Qingyun looked over, and frowned.
Almost half of Hanhai City has been occupied by deformed creatures. In the center of the occupation, a towering tree grew, with lush branches and leaves, dotted with silver-blue starlight. It looked like an elf tree in a fantasy movie.
"Is this Hestia? It doesn't look like it. I didn't see a large electrostatic particle." Tan Mo tilted his head.
Li Zhefeng came over, squatted on the other side, zoomed in on the part, and looked down, "This is not Hestia. But it reminds me of a legendary symbiosis of Kepler's creatures—the hibiscus tree."
"Fusang tree? Is this an academic name, or is it a nickname?" Tan Mo was sure that he had not read any Keplerian creatures such as hibiscus tree in any materials in the five years since he entered the field.
"This is its nickname. Its name in Kepler ecology should be Kepler Chimera. I think we should ask Professor He for advice." Luo Qingyun said.
The energy of the aircraft has been half charged, and Hanhai City is completely falling, so they don't have much time.
He Yingzhi connected with them and started a temporary lecture.
Not only the people from Tanmo and the others, but other staff from Beichen City also surrounded them.
Professor He's class is hard to find.
The holographic projection showed the big tree in Hanhai City that covered the sky and the earth in front of everyone, and He Yingzhi specially magnified its details.
"Team Li's guess is not wrong. This is the chimera nicknamed 'Fusang Tree'. When I was doing research with Professor Ling, I speculated on this living body, that is, it represents Kepler's Highly deformed creatures. Everyone has heard of conjoined animals, such as hydra and double-headed scorpions in ancient legends."
Tan Mo nodded while listening carefully.
"It's just that most of these deformed creatures are identical eggs that did not separate normally during embryonic development. But the hibiscus tree fuses all creatures in the ecological zone, regardless of species. Its name comes from ancient legends. It is made of intertwined mulberry trees, which can connect mortals with the gods and the underworld. According to legend, the hibiscus tree has three layers, and each layer has a three-legged golden crow."
The screen zoomed in to the top layer of the hibiscus tree. If you don’t look at it, you won’t know it.
On its top floor are countless deformed monsters roaring and roaring, even biting each other, making each other their own food and nutrition. The surviving creatures must have super attack power, half of their bodies can move freely, and the other half It is integrated with the hibiscus tree and cannot break free.
"This... the three-legged Golden Crow is known as the soul of the sun. When I was a child, I was also a fan of myths and legends. These are completely deformed monsters." Zhou Xubai frowned, "Although these monsters cannot escape the control of the hibiscus tree, in order to live Go down, they will swear to protect this tree."
"The monster is just a monster. It is not the first time you have encountered it. As for the second layer of the hibiscus tree is its trunk." He Yingzhi pushed the picture closer.
This is already the clearest picture that satellite remote sensing can deliver.
The trunk is already as thick as seven or eight communication towers, and the trunk seems to be flowing. When you look closely, you find that there are monsters like chisels in the fiber tubes inside the trunk, but they are definitely not chisels. , but instead...

After He Yingzhi finished speaking, they could tell that those flying snakes had grown together, and their flesh and bones were inseparable from each other. Some heads grew together with the back of another flying snake. The twisted posture made people sick.
These snakes swim to the top of the tree to join the fight of the monsters.
"What about the third floor?" Tan Mo asked.
"The third layer is the underground branches. The branches of the hibiscus tree extend thousands of meters underground to absorb all the nutrients, and... its roots will continue to extend underground. According to the satellite cloud images, its roots have already It has taken over the entire Hanhai City." He Yingzhi's voice was tight.
This shows that the harm of hibiscus trees is far from just a city.
"It's like a big tumor, leading all living things to heresy. I dare to fight, it's a great gift from my good brother." Tan Mo said.
"According to the previous research of your mother and me, we believe that the hibiscus tree is a highly deformed expression. It only pays attention to the acquisition of energy, not the life itself. While accelerating its own deformation, it is also destroying the surrounding creatures .”
Tan Mo took a deep breath, and his heart suddenly became heavy: "This is a declaration of 'common destruction'."
"It must be destroyed." He Taki said.
His eyes were red and his fists were clenched.
"Uncle He?" Tan Mo looked at the other party, "Have you... fought Fusang tree before?"
He Taki took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Yes. This thing is the first thing created by that bastard trapped in Base Zero."
Tan Mo was stunned, "Uncle He, what did you say? He created it?"
"Well. My teammates and I escorted Professor He and you out of the base. We were about to go out. In the last passage, a tree suddenly grew along the passage, chasing us. It is embedded like this Fitting together, it contains all the characteristics of creatures such as Indira, Devil Vine, Rodent Flower, and Forbidden Lake...just not so big."
He Taki's hand was tightly held.
Tan Mo's heart seemed to have been stabbed severely, and the painful roars of those uncles were still in his mind.Some of them are unwilling to become the nourishment of the hibiscus tree, and choose to blow themselves up when they are caught.
The back of the head was flicked lightly, and Luo Qingyun's voice rang in her ears, "Why are you in a daze. This thing looks huge, but it doesn't mean we can't kill it."
"How to kill it?" Tan Mo looked over.
If this damn hibiscus tree can be defeated, it will not only impress Central City, but also allow mankind to win the biggest victory against Kepler's world, and even deal a heavy blow to "him" in Base Zero.
Luo Qingyun smiled lightly, "You're quite smart. Think about it."
After finishing speaking, Luo Qingyun raised Tan Mo's hand and placed it on her chest.
His index finger was just on Tan Mo's titanium ring.
Something flashed across Tan Mo's mind, and Tan Mo's eyes lit up, "You mean... Titanium Demon?"
"Timonium? Can it deal with hibiscus trees?" Zhou Xubai asked uncertainly.
After all, the titanium demon on Tan Mo's finger is only that big, but the hibiscus tree is a towering giant tree.An embroidery needle can't pierce the Tongtian tree!
He Yingzhi is also not very optimistic, "Our titanium demon is only a young species. Even if it enters the body of the hibiscus tree, this metal is not enough to block the nutrient transfer and biological deformation of the hibiscus tree."
Tan Mo opened the holographic image of Hanhai City, especially the underground part, "Maybe our titanium demon kid can really do it. There is a metal mine in the suburbs of Hanhai City!"
Everyone poked their heads and looked carefully.
"Hey, there really are metal mines! This is a copper-iron mine!"
"And the mine is very deep, no wonder Hanhai City is known as a frontier industrial giant."
Tan Mo touched his finger, and the titanium demon circled it twice, "Hey, do you want to?"
There is a feeling in my mind that although the titanium demon is a little scared, it is willing.
He Yingzhi immediately calculated the copper-iron ore in Hanhai City. Based on the current size of the hibiscus tree and its growth in the next three hours, assuming that this tonnage of copper-iron ore enters the body of the hibiscus tree, can it make it poisonous to heavy metals? And it will damage its cell tissue.
"It's about [-]% sure." He Yingzhi told them.
"Okay, let's give it a try, if it doesn't work, we'll withdraw. If we can't beat it, it's important to save our lives." Tan Mo turned his ring.
At this time, the energy of all the aircraft has been fully charged, ensuring that they will not sink after flying for more than ten hours.
When Tan Mo and Luo Qingyun stepped onto the aircraft, Chen Jiu initiated a communication with them.
"Luo Qingyun, I heard that you are going to kill the hibiscus tree?"
"Yes. Thank you for the cigarettes."
"Tsk, my cigarettes are not dead end cigarettes, but happy cigarettes. You have to come back alive." Chen Jiu said seriously.
"Ah."
Tan Mo and the others had already taken off and sailed into the night.
"Silver Bay is already a purely defensive base, and Han Hai must be rebuilt and uninhabitable. Only our Beichen City can sing and dance."
"I know, once the hibiscus tree is settled, I'll come to drink with you." Luo Qingyun said.
"It's a word."
They flew farther and farther, and finally left the communication range with Chen Jiu.
And in the rescue aircraft following them a few hundred meters away, the rescue captain's expression turned ugly.
"They are crazy! Professor He, you should stop them! They are ants shaking the tree-court die!"
He Yingzhi, who was sitting in front of the holographic image, had a serious expression. He said in a calm tone: "All our knowledge of Kepler's ecology comes from the ants shaking the tree again and again."
At this time, Central City has issued an order, requiring the rescue team leader to prevent Tan Mo and the others from going to Hanhai City at any cost.
Because Tan Mo is currently the only human being with Kepler's spiritual body, and also the only human being who can communicate with Kepler's creatures.
This is so precious.
If he has any accidents in Hanhai City, Kepler will no longer have any scruples.
The rescue team leader quickly walked in front of He Yingzhi, he suddenly took out his gun and put it on He Yingzhi's head.
"What are you doing!" Lu Ying was about to rush over, but was immediately restrained by other members of the rescue team.
An Xiaohe, Chu Yu, and Zhuang Jing saw that something was wrong, and fought against the rescue team.
There was chaos throughout the cabin.
"I have been ordered to shoot Professor He!"
The rescue captain shouted loudly, An Xiao and the others had no choice but to stop, their guns pointing at each other's guns, in a stalemate.
Lu Ying snorted coldly: "I don't believe it! If you dare to touch Professor He's hair, you will be executed if you go back to Central City!"
The rescue captain replied: "If I can't stop Tan Mo and the others from going to die, Central City will also execute me."
The expression on He Yingzhi's face didn't change at all, he raised his hand and put his finger on the muzzle of the gun next to his temple.
"You sent back the images of Tan Mo and the others in Yinwan and Beichen, right?"
The rescue captain replied: "Yes."
"Thank you very much. Judging from Central City's attitude, they have already recognized Tan Mo's ability. But do you know what Central City has been making decisions on? " He Yingzhi asked.
"Central City Council," said the rescue captain.
"Then do you know what the committee of Central City is made of?" He Yingzhi asked again.
"Elite selected from all walks of life, including biology, business, sociology, etc."
He Yingzhi shook his head, "It was a huge mistake to start exploring Kepler 22B by the Exploration Alliance. And this mistake itself came from human greed. Therefore, the real core of the Central City Committee is not the elites from all walks of life. It's a master computer program that is so complex and detailed that you can't even imagine it."
The rescue captain was stunned, "You... what are you talking about? The main computer program?"
"It has no emotions, only data. It calculates all possibilities through a huge database. And it has only one purpose of existence, which is to take the survival of human beings as the ultimate goal. The value of all of us, including me, is for It provides data to make predictions."
The rescue captain's gun trembled slightly, "Who designed that main computer?"
"It originated from the spacecraft of the Kepler Exploration Alliance. Originally, this program was designed to land on the Kepler planet. The parameters in it are all about knowledge in the fields of astronomy, ecology, etc., and the purpose is to help the spacecraft cope with various Later, when the human world was eroded by Kepler’s ecology, in order to avoid human factors affecting the judgment, this program was redesigned, its values were wider, and the decisions made were closely related to the future of mankind.”
This stunned everyone in the aircraft.
"This... is this true?" An Xiaohe was stunned.
They've been taking orders from a master computer program all these years?This simply overturned the three views of everyone present.
"That's why I asked you to send the video of Tanmo protecting Yinwan and Beichen back to Central City, because only then the main computer will reassess the importance of Tanmo. But if the fate of human beings is always determined by the main computer Prediction, then we will always live in the program created by ourselves. The setting of the main computer is to ensure the survival of human beings. As for how human beings survive, whether they live in humiliation, surviving under the suppression of Kepler’s ecology, or hold their heads high It is not within the calculation range of the main computer." He Yingzhi said.
The rescue captain snorted coldly: "Professor He, you have betrayed Central City by revealing such core secrets to me. I have the right to..."
"What right? Kill me?" He Yingzhi raised his eyes and looked at the rescue captain without fear, "Do you think Tanmo and the others will do something they are not sure about? Don't you think human beings need a fight?" Victory to prove that we can overcome the deformed Kepler ecology?"
The rescue captain just said coldly: "Contact Tan Mo and ask him to turn around. Otherwise, I will really..."
Before the rescue captain finished speaking, He Yingzhi said, "I won't stop him. The main computer needs new data to update its predictive ability."
At this moment, the rescue captain felt something coming behind him. Just as he was about to turn his head, someone had already pressed his wrist down very quickly, and the other party's fingers clasped his tiger's mouth, but in an instant, he The gun was taken away by the opponent.
When he saw clearly who that person was, he was shocked.
"Jiang...Jiang Huailin? You're not...Aren't you in a coma?" The rescue captain was stunned.
Jiang Huailin stood in front of He Yingzhi, "Captain, I believe they can defeat the hibiscus tree. Are you sure you want to force Tan Mo and the others to retreat? Every time they retreat, the living space of human beings will become smaller, and in the end there is no way to retreat. We Shenzhou Group is willing to support Tan Mo and their actions at all costs."
The rescue captain never expected that Jiang Huailin would have such mobility and speed, he felt like a blender.
Jiang Huailin returned the gun to the rescue captain, "Don't doubt, you are not my opponent. You only have two choices now, one is to be thrown out of this aircraft by me, and the other is to follow Tan Mo."
The atmosphere was tense for a while, and suddenly there was applause.
The rescue captain frowned and looked over, only to find that it was An Xiaohe.
An Xiaohe showed a surprised expression: "Little Jiang Dong is so skilled, what's even more rare is that he finally stood on the right stand. Isn't it worthy of applause?"
"Idiot." Chu Yu rolled her eyes.
At this time, Tan Mo and Luo Qingyun had already entered the airspace of Hanhai City.
The hibiscus tree grew faster than they imagined, and its branches and leaves were gone, replaced by roaring monsters.
Their heads are biting each other, and the fighting scene is even more terrifying than what I saw in the hologram before coming here. The whole body is full of blue fluorescence, which shows that its Kepler energy is very strong.
In order to suppress its growth, the central city has carried out long-range strikes on this place before. More than a dozen missiles hit the same location, but as long as the roots of the hibiscus tree are not destroyed, it will continue to absorb nutrients and regenerate.
Just like even if the tumor is surgically removed, the cancer cells will still metastasize or recur.
When the monsters fused with the hibiscus tree sensed that a fused person entered their domain, they suddenly gave up fighting each other and rushed to the sky instead.
Some of them are two-headed monsters, and some have another monster fused in their mouths, crazy and sick.
"Let's bypass it." Tan Mo said to his companions.
Their target is copper iron ore.
But those monsters didn't want to let them go, they came biting, and the whole hibiscus tree leaned towards them.
There is no nonsense, Zhou Xubai directly released a large number of nerve tentacles, and spread a huge net in midair, Li Zhefeng's black fire burned along the net, those crazy monsters hit the net, Zhou Xubai turned his wrist, and the net Immediately gathered, they struggled.
When they broke through the net, Tan Mo and the others had already flown a long way.
The hibiscus tree sensed the presence of its prey, and kept growing towards them. The giant tree that stood between the sky and the earth was completely distorted, and its roots located in the ground couldn't wait to break out of the ground, spirally chasing the aircraft in midair.
The aircraft was fully powered, and finally came to the top of the copper-iron mine.
The Titanium Demon on Tan Mo's finger moved, formed a small metal ball, and fell down.
The moment it touched the ground, it quickly permeated down, and began to condense and absorb the metal elements in the ground.
On the top of the hibiscus tree, those monsters devoured each other, leaving only the last nine heads, and the attack speed and range far exceeded Tan Mo's expectations.
The tandem aircraft was originally a small aircraft with a limited height, and the nine-headed monster seemed to be about to bite them.
They can only use the angle of flight to lure these monsters into hitting each other.
One of the monsters rushed straight behind Wu Yusheng and He Long.
"Be careful--"
Fortunately, Wu Yusheng's piloting skills are superb, and he escaped in a thrilling manner, but he didn't expect another monster to spit out from the head's mouth, and it was about to bite their aircraft off.
"Bang——" a blast popped out of the chamber, brushed He Taki's cheek, and shot straight into the monster's mouth.
There was a loud noise, and the blood mist dispersed, and the monster's head was blown off, leaving only the neck limp and falling down, and the monster that spit it out swallowed it back in one gulp.
This scene really ruined the three views, and I had to spit out the overnight meal.
In pursuit of Tan Mo and the others, the tree even pulled its roots out of the ground, walking like a giant land jellyfish.
"Fuck - what is this thing! Can you still play like this?" Wu Yusheng's eyeballs were about to pop out
Its roots picked up countless sand and stones, and there were bursts of dust. Tan Mo and the others unanimously turned on the dust removal function of the combat uniform mask.
In the thick dust, two or three monsters suddenly approached without making a sound.
He Taki had endured this guy for a long time, and he punched it hard the moment it hit.
The so-called effect of force is mutual, after this punch, their aircraft accelerated away, and the monster's face was so shocked by He Taki's punch that it festered.
It whimpered, and was instantly bitten off by another monster. The sound of flesh and bones being crushed came, and there was a stench in the wind, and another round of fusion and regeneration began.
The hibiscus tree was getting closer and closer. Tanmo and the others could not guide it to the direction of human habitation, but could only fly to the outside of the separation wall.
This also means that they will go deep into the deformed ecological zone, and the risk factor will increase exponentially.
The damaged separation wall could be faintly seen, and at that moment, Tan Mo suddenly turned the direction of the aircraft.
"what happened?"
Zhou Xubai was taken aback, for fear that Tan Mo would crash into the mouth of the hibiscus tree when he turned around.
But unexpectedly, the hibiscus tree seemed to be bound by something, and its struggling and twisted figure could be faintly seen in the dust.
Tan Mo's eyes narrowed, "It's done."
"What happened?" Wu Yusheng asked uncertainly even though he knew the answer.
"Our titanium demon has successfully entered the body of the Fusang tree." Luo Qingyun's lips curled up.
All the aircraft hovered near the hibiscus tree, not daring to approach it easily.
Gradually, the monsters on the top of the hibiscus tree began to roar heart-piercingly, the smoke and dust finally dissipated, and the wide and clear vision made them feel a huge shock at the scene in front of them.
The metal swims in the hibiscus tree, covering its nutrient-absorbing branches. The soaring snake in the branch is invaded by the titanium demon. After being metalized, it is in great pain. The trunk cannot support it and begins to disintegrate.
The deformed monsters on the top of the tree tried to break free, and the Tau turned into sharp metal and pierced them all.
In just half a minute, the hibiscus tree turned into a metal tree, stiffened and shattered in all directions, like a huge metal building, the building collapsed, and the sound of metal bending made eardrums sting.
The impaled monsters fell whimpering, they were tied into metal flowers.
"Damn it... this is a hibiscus tree! The hibiscus tree that destroyed the entire city, just like that... the game is over?" Wu Yusheng was incredulous.
"No, it hasn't finished playing, but the Titanium Demon is supporting it tenaciously. As long as it drives the Titanium Demon out of its body, it can recover quickly."
Li Zhefeng narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Then burn it to death. Burn it thoroughly."
Zhou Xubai instantly understood Li Zhefeng's meaning, "Please help the Titanium Demon to dig out its underground part."
Tan Mo could empathize with the Titanium Demon, and his thoughts were instantly transmitted to the Titanium Demon. The hibiscus tree twisted, but its rhizome was still pulled out from the ground. Most of the ground in Hanhai City trembled. The underground network was dragged out by the Titanium demon in this way, the scene was too grand.
"How... how to burn it?" Zhou Xubai looked back at Li Zhefeng.
Li Zhefeng's hair fluttered in the wind, "You can burn as much as you can. If you don't kill it, is it necessary for the titanium demon to restrain it in its body forever?"
"Okay, let's net its head first." Zhou Xubai took a deep breath, the nerve tentacles formed a guide rope, fell from a high altitude, entangled a monster, and sealed its mouth tightly.
Li Zhefeng's index finger hooked the tentacles, flicked lightly, and the black fire burned down along the guide rope.
The black fire came, the Tau demon left the monster, it was burned to ashes by the black fire, and repeated like this, they forcibly burned the top of the hibiscus tree bare.
The Soaring Snakes in the tree trunk struggled to swim out, but were grabbed by the Tau Demon, and the metal spread in their bodies.
"Maybe we have to find a way to make Team Li's fire burn more intensely." Luo Qingyun leaned against Tan Mo's ear and said.
"How violent?" The moment Tan Mo and Luo Qingyun looked at each other, they understood what he was thinking.
Luo Qingyun continued: "Team Li has a spiritual body, and this is in line with Kepler's animistic biological characteristics. My suggestion is that you go to Team Li's Kepler world and start from the 'I' Go to 'Kewo', find his Kepler spirit body, and..."
"And connect him to the Kepler energy source?" Tan Mo asked.
Once connected to the Kepler energy source, Tan Mo suspected that Li Zhefeng would burn down a hibiscus tree, let alone burn it all the way to base zero... If his body wasn't as strong as Luo Qingyun's Words that are easily broken.
"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?"
Luo Qingyun's words made Tan Mo eager to try.He had been thinking for a long time that he could reconnect the deformed Kepler creature and the energy source, why couldn't the Fusionist.
Isn't it because the degree of Keplerization is not enough, so there is no concrete spiritual body?
Those fusions who died in Base Zero, since they were able to stop Tan Mo when he was about to cross the border, it shows that they have spiritual bodies.
If they have it, Li Zhefeng must have it too.
Tan Mo decided to give it a try, he quickly approached Li Zhefeng, and stretched out his hand towards him.
But at that moment, the nerve tentacles that Zhou Xubai had released to catch the Soaring Snake were pulled severely by the hibiscus tree, and Zhou Xubai was almost pulled away from the aircraft by such a powerful force.
All this happened so suddenly, Zhou Xubai and Li Zhefeng's tandem aircraft lost its balance and turned over.
"Captain Zhou!" Li Zhefeng's first reaction was to save Zhou Xubai.
He grabbed the aircraft with one hand, and grabbed Zhou Xubai with the other, but the power of the hibiscus tree was too great, and the drag force of the engine of the aircraft was insufficient, so they plummeted.
Tan Mo was so frightened that his soul rushed to the top of his forehead, and he drove the aircraft to chase after him.
faster!Hurry up!They can't die!
And the hibiscus tree was suppressing the titanium demon in its body, a flying snake raised its head from the trunk, opened its mouth wide, and Li Zhefeng and the others were about to fall into its mouth.
Tan Mo's mind went blank, his muscles tensed up, and his body leaned out of the aircraft. At that moment, he wanted to grab their nipples more than anything else.
Just when Li Zhefeng and Zhou Xubai were about to fall, countless pale golden energy lines fell down densely. The moment Li Zhefeng met Tan Mo's eyes, he seemed to be dragged into another world.
Those energy lines penetrated his skin, swam in his cells, and an indescribable force permeated his brain in a very short time.
Li Zhefeng didn't believe in the existence of the soul since he was a child, but at this moment, he felt that something had left his body and sank to a deeper place.
