Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1122 Ant Zone

As soon as the two looked up, they found a face hanging from a tree branch not far in front of them. Short black hair spread out in the air, and a row of neat white teeth were grinning towards them on that face.

"You're welcome, come here!"

He must have been sitting on this tree a long time ago, so the two of them didn't hear a sound.

When a person is hanging upside down, it is difficult for people to see his face clearly—so it wasn't until the man sat up from the branch and turned around that Lin Sanjiu realized that his face was also slightly Somewhat distorted.

He was born with delicate features and looks young. It should have been a very pleasing face; it's a pity that his lips were not quite close together, the upper lip was turned to the left, and the lower lip was turned to the right, as if the doctor's hand when suturing. It slipped and sewed the upper and lower parts of the face in the wrong position.

"Is it a new evolutionary?" The man sat on a not-so-thick branch, his legs dangling, making one wonder why he hadn't broken it: "That's great, it didn't fall into those mushrooms." Be deceived in the territory."

Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia exchanged glances.

Since they are tasked with finding out the secret of why the evolutionaries don't teleport, they might as well just push the boat along at this moment——she coughed: "Well, we did come from the mushrooms... What's the truth of what you said? thing?"

The man bent his neck, looked at the two of them with thoughtful and suspicious eyes, and smiled.

After thinking for a while, he laughed, and his asymmetrical lips staggered further: "Well... I can't smell the spore smell on your body. Yes, we welcome people who have not been brainwashed, after all The more compatriots that can be saved, the better."

When Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief, he heard him ask abruptly: "But there is one thing, I would like to ask you two."

"what?"

"You obviously saw it—"

The man suddenly raised his hand back and pointed high above the forest: "But he still came in on his own initiative, neither afraid nor hesitant. Why?"

Through the densely packed branches and leaves, the huge shadow of the Skyrim Queen Ant was cut into countless dark brown pieces, filling the gaps in the branches and leaves.Lin Sanjiu quickly withdrew his gaze, hesitating to find a reasonable excuse: "We...we saw ants once when we were at Mushroom's place. So we wanted to come over and see what happened between Mushroom and ants. What's going on, uh, which party is telling the truth."

Bohemia glanced at her with a look of "Is this your best performance?"

Hearing this, the man slowly lowered his neck, his eyes still fixed on their faces.His neck also didn't seem to be stitched properly, and it was slightly twisted as if the neck bone was broken, like a snake winding down from a human shoulder.

"...Such a curious evolutionary is really rare."

He narrowed his eyes and paused.

It's not unusual for this man to recognize them as evolutionaries at a glance—after all, evolutionaries have always had the reputation of being like Bohemia who can dress whatever they want—but Lin Sanjiu was really surprised. Yes, she couldn't tell whether the man in front of her was an evolutionary or not.

Silence lasted for several seconds.When the backs of the two gradually began to tense, the man suddenly smiled, as if his upper and lower faces were about to stagger from each other and fly away: "However, I really like your exploring spirit."

He jumped from the branch - the height is just within reach for an ordinary person with agility.Lin Sanjiu took half a step back, blocked Bohemia behind him, raised his vigilance secretly, and smiled at him: "Are you an evolutionary too?"

"What does it matter?" He spread his hands, looking cheerful: "The people here are all escaped from the mushroom society, no matter whether they are evolutionaries or not, everyone is equal. Gone are the days of being enslaved, blinded...that is."

"Slavery? Deception?" Bohemia raised her voice.

"A big living person, but rushing for mushrooms every day, isn't this slavery?" He grinned. "What is the meaning of finding self-satisfaction, what is a fulfilling life? If you look at it from another angle, don't you think it is just an illusion created by mushrooms to make people serve them honestly?"

Bohemia, who was inclined to convert, really couldn't bear it anymore: "Ordinary people don't have spores in their brains. How can this be called an illusion created by mushrooms? Isn't it right to find the meaning of life?"

"I'm talking about hallucinations in a broad sense. Through induction, brainwashing, education, and operating mechanisms...the whole society has formed the same collective consciousness. And now people don't have spores in their brains. How do you know that at the beginning, the first Didn’t a generation of citizens have their brains?” He slapped his hands, as if he was very happy to refute directly: “Let me tell you, mushrooms have already changed the shape of their brains, and through genetic selection from generation to generation, now they don’t need spores. Got so many high-minded, peaceful-hearted hypocrites who don't even want sex."

After a pause, he glanced at the two of them and snorted: "Life is meaningless. Just like trees, grass, loaches or ants, we are no different. Those mushrooms made me become like this now, Do you really think they live in harmony with all species, as they claim?"

Feeling that the person behind him seemed to have something to say, Lin Sanjiu coughed hurriedly, grabbed Bohemia's sleeve to signal her to shut up, and continued to ask: "Then the ant..."

"If we want to get out of brainwashing, fight against the anti-bacterial mushroom society, and regain human dignity, of course we must have allies. And these ants are gentle in nature, they happen to like to eat mushrooms, and there are many resources we can use on them, which is the most ideal I have chosen someone." The man thought for a while and waved to them: "Come on, I can show you our residence... If you would like to stay with us then, that would be great, we have always in a state of being understaffed.”

The so-called "resident" is actually deep in this forest.

If the mushroom society looks like a strange human society with unrestrained power and unconstrained style, then there is no way to see that there are humans living here in this resident.As they went deeper, Lin Sanjiu began to occasionally see sparse people sleeping on big trees and nesting in tree holes; more often, they were looking for a place to settle in the holes dug by large ants—— I don't know how many times, when she saw a person crawling out of a hole in the mound, the trembling tentacles of a huge ant protruded from behind.

"Those are people who are going out to 'hunt'," the crooked man noticed her gaze and explained, "They will look for opportunities on the outskirts of Mushroom City to see if they can take the opportunity to kidnap some people... as long as they bring them back We can help them perform surgery and get rid of brainwashing. Ants are our indispensable allies when hunting, and they are especially sensitive to smell..."

As he spoke, he waved his hands at the few people who had just emerged from the hole.Behind those men and women, long, bright brown insect feet protruded again; the lacklustre and emotional black compound eyes looked around, and slowly revealed an ant the size of a truck.

"Be careful today," the crooked-mouthed man said tenderly to the ant, "I almost hurt a leg last time."

It seemed that the ant didn't understand what he was saying at all—or understood it, but didn't respond at all.It just turned its carapace-like body and followed the people in front of it. Its tentacles, belly, and sawtooth all lit up clearly in the sunlight.

When those men and women and the big ants walked by, a smell of earth rose up, which made Lin Sanjiu get goose bumps all over his body.

"The truth over there is mushrooms, and the truth here is ants?" Bohemia couldn't help the sarcasm in her voice, and asked emphatically.

"Oh, no," the man kept walking, still leading them forward—the thick worm feet of the queen ant stood in the woods, getting closer; although the color was similar to the trees, they looked The difference from ordinary tree trunks is getting bigger and bigger.The smooth and inorganic texture seems to be hidden in the shadows of the forest, peeping at them quietly.

"The truth here is us. We believe that the truth can only be grasped by human beings...Only we have the right to decide what our life should be like." When the man said this, he suddenly accelerated Footsteps, rushed forward - the trees thinned out in front, revealing a clearing surrounded by trees.

"Mom," he called out to the tall giant ant queen, his voice was unusually gentle: "I brought back two guests!"

Just as Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia were stunned, the huge ant above slowly moved—as it slowly bent down and lowered its head, the two could clearly see that it seemed to be constantly chewing something in its mouth The exposed sawtooth of the thing went up and down, and clicked; when its "face" stopped completely in front of the two of them, Lin Sanjiu heard a faint swallowing sound behind him, like a Bohemia He tried his best to swallow back the surging gastric juice.

"Mom?" Under the gaze of the giant worm eyes, her body felt chills intermittently. "Why do you call it Mama?"

"It's just a common honorific title for us." The man shrugged. "Only this title can express our gratitude and love for it... Oh, mom, they don't have spores on them."

The giant ant slowly opened its sawtooth - a lot of fragment-like things wrapped in mucus fell down with a clatter, and all of them hit the ground; the smelly liquid splashed the faces of the two of them.Lin Sanjiu squinted his eyes and felt that those fragments looked like mushroom residues.

"guest?"

The giant ants actually buzzed in human language, like countless bee swarms scraping by: "You are wrong, the two of them are not guests."

Time seemed to freeze.

"...I just watched them from a distance, these two women, and another man. The man said, you go and catch the queen ant... I have been waiting for them to approach me for a long time."

　Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kavin wants to die.I'm upset that I had to write about the ants first with a big knife in the back
