Plant Invasion [End Times]

No one knows how turbulent Shen Kuo's heart is, but no matter how much he hates the sea in his heart, he has to pretend nothing happened on his face and talk with a few tree people.

After all, it was Li Zheng's first time to devour the spiritual body, and it took a while to digest that spiritual body.

Shen Kuo chatted with the tree people for a while, and seeing that he didn't intend to finish digesting it in a short time, after discussing with Wu Zhiduo, he didn't let the 59 people wait any longer, and let the 59 people start to devour them.

Although according to Shuren, it is easier to devour the spiritual experience provided by human beings, Wu Zhiduo also knows that sooner or later it will be the turn of human beings to confess their spiritual body, but this time, Wu Zhiduo still chose to deceive himself and let others The capable ones first used the spirit body provided by Gaia.

The process of devouring the spiritual body is indeed simple, and the supernatural beings have sharp eyes and ears, so it is unlikely that they can't even learn this.

Soon, the 59 selected supernatural beings found a place in the training room and sat cross-legged on the ground, a light green light cluster fainted above their heads, and the light cluster swirled rapidly. Caused by exposure during digestion.

In front of Shuren, Wu Zhiduo told Shen Kuo to take good care of the people in the training room, and handed over the rest of the spiritual body to Shen Kuo, then took a deep look at him, patted him on the shoulder, and walked out.

After Wu Zhiduo left, other supernatural beings who were temporarily asked out of the training room in order not to disturb the first devouring process also returned to the training room one after another.

After the opening of the spiritual body donor registration program, the schedule of the practice room has also been changed.

From the day when the identity of the applicant was confirmed, the practice room was temporarily only open to those with supernatural powers who signed up to be spiritual body donors.

This is done, one is to make the spiritual body donor stronger, and the other is to compensate the applicants with some invisible benefits.

If you are lucky enough not to be selected as a donor in the end, then the extra time in the practice room is the final compensation and comfort that the base will give to the applicants.

After the identities of all applicants are determined, they will rotate in the training room.

In other words, they are all waiting to die in the training room, waiting for the moment when they are needed.

Seeing those supernatural beings entering the training room one after another, each walking towards the vacant seat in the training room, for the first time, Shen Kuo, the master of the training room who always seemed a bit too indifferent and almost never actively communicated with the supernatural beings who came to practice, He cast respectful eyes on these special abilities.

The master of the training room, Shen Kuo, never liked to laugh, and it was an open secret among the supernatural beings who often came to the training room to practice.

But today's supernatural beings entered the training room, and found that the person sitting in the middle of the training room, for some reason, looked a lot more friendly.

After Shen Kuo nodded to a bold supernatural being, even though he was used to being quiet in the practice room, the supernatural beings couldn't help whispering at this moment.

"Look, did Mr. Shen Kuo smile at that man?"

"He seemed to be smiling at me just now."

"Why is Mr. Shen Kuo so approachable today?"

"I do not know……"

However, the whispers only lasted for a while. After all, the supernatural beings came to do business. Soon, the entire training room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Shen Kuo sat in the center of the practice room, and closed his eyes to experience another space.

In the eyes of the supernatural beings, he has been sitting there and never left.

Only those with strong observation skills who have observed the space of him in detail will know that Shen Kuo is disappearing and reappearing all the time.

At Shen Kuo's level, he can move his mind at will in the transition between the two dimensions, and no amount of training can actually help much.

Moreover, he himself is currently the only special energy diffuser who can absorb special energy, and the concentration of special energy he can absorb is almost the most on this earth. Humans can absorb more energy, so supernatural training like this has little effect.

If he used the time he used to train his shuttle speed to concentrate and absorb energy directly, the effect would definitely be better.

It's not that Shen Kuo doesn't understand all this in his heart, but from the moment Jin Shao was captured by Gaia, the shuttle speed has become his inner demon.

Dreaming back at midnight, he asked himself countless times why he was so slow at that time, Jin Shao had to sacrifice himself to create a chance to escape.

And there were countless moments when he asked himself who else would have caught them if he had been as fast as he is now.

Time cannot be turned back, and he has no power to change the past, so he has to practice speed all over his head until his brain explodes, his eyes are red, and his brain is so dizzy that he can no longer think about other things, just like an ostrich will come when danger comes. With their heads stuck in the ground, weak people always deceive themselves like this-thinking that if they can't see the danger, the danger does not exist.

Later, he tried to normalize himself, told himself that he was not qualified to be willful, and told himself that the overall situation was the most important thing.

He did it gradually.

He hid these things, the pain represented by a person named Jin Shao, deeply, deeply into the corners of his heart. He couldn't find a place he didn't dare to look at. Walking forward, the Red River base is full of thoughts.

He thought that he was getting stronger and more mature, and he was no longer the weak child who dared not even go out of the village.

However, when he saw Gaia, saw the things Gaia gave, and saw the truth given by the tree man, he realized that the hatred, pain, powerlessness, and despair did not exist, they just hurt too much , the pain made him numb.

In order not to let myself die from the pain, I had no choice but to close that part of the feeling and pretend it didn't exist.

Now that the tree man opened up the scar, he realized that his wound has been hurting, hurting all the time...

Never better!

It won't be okay!

The dead will not come back, how can the wound heal!

"Om—" a very slight vibration sounded, Shen Kuo was distracted, his positioning made a mistake, and he fell to the floor of the training room.

Except for the sixty supernatural beings who were still digesting their spiritual bodies, everyone in the training room paid attention to him.

"I'm fine, everyone continue." Shen Kuo stood up, turned on the smart watch and took a look.

A few seconds later, he smiled apologetically at the tree men, "I'm sorry, I need to go to the base in a hurry, and I'll be right back."

Several treants nodded in a daze, and Shen Kuo disappeared in a flash.

After Shen Kuo left for a few minutes, several tree talents came to their senses and looked at each other in blank dismay: "He, is he leaving now?"

A sociable supernatural person saw that these trees were very puzzled, so he took the initiative to explain for them: "Mr. Shen Kuo is a busy person in the base, and he alone can do many things in the base, so In the past, he usually only led the training room for about twelve hours a day."

The tree men did not reject the man's explanation, but listened carefully.Immediately, a tree man was surprised: "Huh? Then he will come back in twelve hours now?"

"Probably not." The supernatural person shook his head, "Don't worry, everyone. Things are different now. Mr. Shen Kuo's first priority should be to entertain your distinguished guests and take care of these devourers. If it is not a special urgent matter, The base will not call him away, even if they do, they should let him back as soon as possible."

"Maybe Mr. Shen Kuo will be back after a dozen or 10 minutes."

"That's good."

"Then let's wait."

"Are you one of the spiritual body donors of this base? Can you introduce your base to us?"

"It's my honor, our base..."

……

Here, after Shen Kuo disappeared from the training room, he appeared directly in Professor Chu's laboratory.

"Professor, are you looking for me?" Shen Kuo looked puzzled.

"Hmm." Professor Chu was staring at the smart watch, not knowing what information he was looking at, and upon hearing this, he just responded indifferently, "Sit down first."

Shen Kuo sat down suspiciously.

When he sat down, the laboratory became quiet. Professor Chu, wearing prescription glasses, studied the content on his smart watch without looking up.

Professor Chu's aura was too strong when he was not speaking, and Shen Kuo sat obediently, not daring to vent his breath.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Professor Chu did not speak, Shen Kuo felt a little anxious.

He didn't forget that Wu Zhiduo told him to take care of the people in the training room.

Especially those six tree people, he was both looking after and monitoring them.

If those six treants had evil intentions and wanted to do something to the people in the training room, his task was to take those supernatural beings back to another world as soon as possible to ensure their safety.

Now Professor Chu asked him to sit here for so long without saying a word. He was worried about the situation in the training room, so he was a little impatient.

"Professor..." He couldn't help reminding aloud.

"Can't wait anymore?" Professor Chu tapped on the projection screen in front of him and turned off the smart watch projection screen.

Shen Kuo smiled wryly: "Professor, what's the matter, just tell me, it's scary that you don't speak like this."

"Well, is that so? It seems a little bit." Professor Chu asked himself and answered, and suddenly looked straight into Shen Kuo's eyes. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to reach Shen Kuo's heart directly through the lens of the glasses, and see through everything in his heart.

Shen Kuo couldn't help clenched his fists, swallowed, and began to reflect on whether he had done anything to annoy Professor Chu recently.

"Want to cry?" Professor Chu asked.

"I was wrong." Shen Kuo replied subconsciously, and it took half a second to realize what Professor Chu said.

"Huh?" He was stunned.

"Silly boy, let me ask you, when you're sad, do you want to cry? Just cry out if you want to cry." Professor Chu patted him on the shoulder with a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "If you suppress your emotions for too long, you will suffocate your brain and become Psychotic, idiot."

Shen Kuo still looked at him stupidly.

Professor Chu sighed, and said bluntly: "Old Wu Du told me. Didn't there be a martyr named Jin Shao, who was a good friend with deep affection? He died because Gaia wanted to devour the spirit body, right? wrong?"

"...Yes." After a moment of silence, Shen Kuo suddenly spoke.

When he opened his mouth, he almost choked on his own saliva, and then he realized that at some point, his voice became hoarse, and tears were already in his eyes.

It was not because Professor Chu took the initiative to talk to him about this matter, but because of the phrase "a good friend with deep feelings" in Professor Chu's mouth.

Yes, he is.

Shen Kuo lowered his head and looked at a water stain on the ground.

He felt that he shouldn't be vulnerable at this time, he endured and endured, but finally couldn't help it, squatted down, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed softly.

Professor Chu watched him silently, his eyes full of tolerance from the elders.

"Cry, have a good cry. Vent all your emotions."

"Son, you endured too much."

"Your relationship must be very good. I have never seen someone cry so sadly for a friend."

Shen Kuo crouched on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

After Shen Kuo cleaned up his emotions, took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and stood up again, Professor Chu said: "It is true that I called you here. Letting you vent your emotions is just one of them. Now, let's take a look at this." .”

Professor Chu said, setting the viewing of the screen projection of the smart watch as shared.

Shen Kuo looked at it with red eyes, and caught two pieces of information in the densely packed text.

"For a long time ahead, Gaia was suspected to have fallen into weakness."

"Today, Gaia has returned to normal."

These two pieces of information seem to be boundless and impossible to start with, but when combined with the relevant time it describes, things become different.

"A long time ahead" means before February 1th in the first year of the new calendar.

"Now" is one o'clock in the morning on the 16th.

That is, during the period of 16:[-] am on the [-]th, Gaia resolved a certain cause of his weakness.

So, what time is the morning of the 16th?

It was during the middle of the night at the Red River Base and Gaia explained that the high priest could not defeat the truth, Gaia proposed a plan to devour the spiritual body, and put forward conditions for the tree people to come to the Red River Base, and Gaia went back to pick up the six tree people.

Gaia said that he just went back to pick up a few juniors. Why did he suddenly feel blessed in such a short period of time and get rid of the reason that made him weak?

Knowing that the High Priest is difficult to defeat, did making an agreement with humans to create a higher spiritual body affect him?

After contacting Gaia, he readily handed over a copy of his spiritual body to the base, and Gaia and the six treants unconsciously or intentionally mentioned in the process of devouring the spiritual body that "it is best to be swallowed." Shen Kuo had to think of other words such as "the spiritual body is voluntary", "the spiritual body is best to swallow if it does not resist", "if the spiritual body has a sense of resistance, it will be difficult to swallow".

"Professor! Professor!" Shen Kuo grabbed Professor Chu's wrist violently, his hand trembling badly, and tears filled his eyes again.

He was incoherent, his lips were trembling, and he almost choked up what he was thinking: "I have a guess, but I don't know if I'm thinking too much, you can see for me, you can see for me, see, right? , is it because I’m a demon?”
