The peach tree of the end of the world rebirth

"Tao Xia, there is a situation here!" Rose's voice came from the intercom, Tao Xia pressed the button, and called Leng Jin to go to Rose's location together.

It has been three days since they entered the dense forest, and as they got deeper and deeper, they encountered more and more mutated animals and plants.

In order to ensure the objectivity of the investigation results, Professor Liang asked them to divide into several teams, centered on Professor Liang's army, and conducted a dragnet-style investigation.

Tao Xia and Leng Jin didn't want to mix with others, so they used the excuse to form a team with Rose and the others.In fact, after they were out of the sight of others, they acted separately from Rose and the others.

Now that Rose and the others have discovered the situation, they naturally have to arrive at the incident before the others.In this way, they will not be noticed by others, and they will act separately.

From a long distance away, they saw the warning circle specially drawn by Rose and the others. Tao Xia and Leng Jin got down from the tree and approached the circle with light steps.Xue Meigui's second-in-command, Xiang Mei, was on guard. Seeing that it was Tao Xia and Leng Jin who came, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to put away their guns, stepped forward, and led the two of them straight to Rose.

"How's it going?" As soon as he arrived, Tao Xia hurried over and asked without caring about others.

Rose made a gesture of silence at him, then pointed forward, signaling the two to take a quick look.

Tao and Leng looked in the direction she was pointing at, even if Tao Xia was used to seeing mutated animals and plants, he could not help but almost exclaimed.

I saw that with the front of them as the center, the trees within a radius of nearly 50 meters were swept down to the ground in a radial pattern, creating a strange open space out of thin air.And in the middle of this open space is a pine tree tens of meters high. Its huge body looks like it can't be hugged by several adult men holding hands.

Such a huge plant variation, although it has been seen in the previous life, but that is already five or six years after the end of the world.It's only the third year of the end of the world, and it's unimaginable that there are such huge plant mutants.

Tao Xia looked away, looked at the fallen trees, and finally found some clues.

"What's wrong?" Leng Jin lowered her voice and asked quietly, as if sensing something was wrong with Tao Xia.

Tao Xia came back to his senses, pointed to a fallen pine tree not far away and said, "Look at that tree!"

Leng Jin looked in the direction of Tao Xia's finger, and saw a pine tree cut off in the middle, and the tree head fell to the ground towards them.Leng Jin looked at the tree, compared it with the nearby trees, shook his head in puzzlement and said, "I didn't find anything wrong, it looks normal."

Tao Xia shook his head, looked around, his voice was a little lost, and said: "Didn't you notice that the withering degree of those trees is inconsistent?"

After hearing Tao Xia's reminder, Leng Jin realized that most of those fallen pine trees had withered.However, judging from the trunk fractures of other trees, it is clear that these trees were cut off for no more than a week.

The reason why the pine tree is known as a symbol of longevity is because of its evergreen feature.Even if it is a pine branch that has been cut down, there will be no change in the branch in a short period of time.

But now the pine trees in front of them have all turned yellow and dried up.It looked more dry than other surrounding trees, and it didn't look like a tree that had fallen to the ground for a week at all.

A dark light flashed in Leng Jin's eyes, as if she understood the reason for Tao Xia's loss.On the other hand, Rose next to him was very puzzled and said, "That tree is of different species, and the degree of withering is different, so it's normal!"

Tao Xia didn't speak, but Leng Jin answered for him: "The dryness of those pine trees is much more serious than other trees, which means that either they were broken first, but from the traces at the scene Look, there's no sign of a second break, so it's safe to say the trees were all broken at the same time."

He pointed to the pine trees and said, "In this way, our hypothesis just now is not valid. So there is only the second possibility left, that is, when the pine trees were broken, they had already started to dry up!"

"You mean, these pine trees were probably already dead when they were broken?" Rose asked in surprise, apparently not believing Leng Jin's deduction.

Leng Jin nodded, looked at the towering pine tree, and said in a cold voice, "It evolved so fast because it ate the lives of other compatriots!"

When the others heard the words, they all felt a chill in their hearts, and when they looked at the pine tree again, their eyes were filled with disgust.

At this time, other teams also rushed over one after another. Professor Liang was approached by the guard of the army. He was also surprised when he saw this pine tree. After hearing about the reason for its evolution, he also sighed: "Look!" Come to the law of the jungle and natural selection, even plants cannot escape!"

Tao Xia also seemed to have regained some energy. The first sentence he spoke at this time was to suggest that Professor Liang and others destroy the pine tree on the spot.

After hearing this, Professor Liang nodded in agreement and said, "I can't let it grow up anymore, but it has only swallowed up the vitality of a dozen pine trees, and it has already evolved so much. If it swallows up a few more pine trees , I'm afraid it will be a disaster for the world sooner or later!"

The other mercenary regiments nodded their heads. They also had to go on missions. Naturally, they were worried that they would encounter them one day. It would be better to kill this hidden danger in the germ from the very beginning.

Only Wu Li, the leader of the Spike Mercenary Corps, disagreed. He looked at Leng Jin and Rose, and said with a sneer, "For something like this that might become an enemy, I have to risk my brother's life to fight for it." , don’t you guys think it’s a little ridiculous?”

Guo Wei of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps smiled, and said noncommittally: "Header Wu is joking. Putting such a thing here is like an invisible bomb. The base is not far from here. I think, Captain Wu I don’t want to be blocked by such a thing one day!”

Wu Lilian said sarcastically: "Mr. Guo, don't talk so nicely. You say you want to destroy it, but you are just talking about it. But my brother from the Spike Mercenary Corps was not blown by a strong wind. The army recruited them by force, and the brothers in the regiment are already dissatisfied, if the manpower is lost because of this pine tree, I'm afraid it's me, and it's hard to explain to them!"

As soon as he said this, the faces of the people in the military department suddenly looked ugly. It is true that the military department made a mistake in the forced recruitment this time, but which one of the people present is not a human being?Even if they knew this truth, no one would tell them face to face in front of them.

Wu Li's words directly explained what everyone had tacitly understood, embarrassing the people in the military department, how could their faces look so good?

And the other person with a bad face was naturally Guo Wei from the Phoenix Mercenary Corps.When the two mercenary regiments were evenly matched in strength, although Wu Li was not very affectionate to him, it was still passable anyway.But ever since Langya joined the Yanxiao mercenary group, Wu Li felt that his nose was not his nose, his face was not his face.This time, in front of so many people, he didn't take him seriously!

Wu Li didn't look at the faces of other people at all, and said to himself: "My Spike Mercenary Corps is not like some teams, but there are three or two kittens, even if the mission fails, it will not lose much. Although my brothers are considered I don’t have the status of a young master, but my life is still worth a few bucks, if you want to use me to be taken advantage of, stop dreaming!”

These words are talking about Tao Xia and Leng Jin!

In this mission, except for dozens of people from the military department, the Spike Mercenary Group accounted for almost half of the remaining people, followed by the Phoenix, Blood Rose and several other small mercenary groups .Among them, the first mercenary regiment had the smallest number of people, and there were only Tao Xia and Leng Jin.

When Leng Jin heard this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Wu Li without saying a word.

Tao Xia's eyes turned between the two of them, as if he understood something, he immediately laughed and said, "I heard that the strength of the Spike Mercenary Group is the number one in our base. When I saw it today, I realized that everyone was joking. It’s just a mutated plant, and the thing that can be solved by one person’s attack and one move actually made Captain Wu say the meaning of life-and-death struggle. It can be seen that sometimes, rumors also Not all believable."

These words not only showed that he didn't care about the fighting power of the mutated pine tree, but also pointed out Wu Li's deliberate excuse to evade, and also sarcastically said that the strength of the Spike Mercenary Group was weak.

Tao Xia's words made everyone in the Spike Mercenary Corps red-eyed, and several of them were even hot-tempered, clamoring on the spot to show some color to Tao Xia.

A yellow-haired man with dyed hair folded his arms as if persuading, and said in a humiliating way: "Brothers, don't be angry, how can we people who suck blood from knife-edges compare with those who are fed by the young master? Even if we die, it is not as important as someone else losing a hair."

Tao Xia squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and after seeing the person's position clearly, he knew that this was Wu Li's sworn brother Zhao Peng.Before he could speak, Leng Jin beside him said angrily, "What are you! How dare you slander members of my first mercenary regiment?"

As far as Yu Lengjin is concerned, you can scold him for anything, but you just can't say no to Tao Xia!

Although Tao Xia said that she was with her, Leng Jin knew better than anyone else that Tao Xia's pride would never allow others to say that he was her vassal.What this yellow-haired man said touched Leng Jin's backlash, even if he was killed on the spot, Leng Jin would never regret it.

But Tao Xia patted Leng Jin on the shoulder, smiled very gently, and said, "Don't be angry, those who are clear will clear themselves. I, Tao Xia, asked myself if I didn't bully men and women. This brother will let him do whatever he wants. Who is it? Whoever is wrong, God has its own judgment, and those who have done bad things will be punished sooner or later!"

A flash of anger flashed across Zhao Peng's face, and he looked at Tao Xia as if his eyes had been poisoned. His favorite was beautiful women, and just before this mission, he had someone snatch a woman into the group.This matter is not a secret at the base, and Tao Xia's seemingly self-deprecating remarks were aimed at himself.

Leng Jin looked at the people around her and smiled instead of anger, and knew in her heart that Tao Xia was really angry, so she grabbed Tao Xia's hand in a place where no one else could see, and looked at him worriedly.

Unexpectedly, Tao Xia held his hand instead, patted it to indicate that he was fine, and then smiled and said to the others: "The mission later, if you are willing to participate, please come, if you don't want to participate, please feel free, I will Although Tao Xia is not considered a hero, he has always disdained to do such things as forcing others."

As soon as he said this, many people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and began to think about how to let others speak first.

On the contrary, Xue Meigui sneered, stood up directly, and said in a deep voice: "Although my sisters in Xue Meigui are not experts, they still have the confidence to help with an assist!" They all stood behind Rose and expressed their support with actions.

After Rose issued a statement, several individual mercenaries stood up and said that they would also join, but more people took a wait-and-see attitude, neither expressing nor refusing.

For a moment, the scene reached a stalemate.
