Plant Invasion [End Times]

Shen Kuo followed Captain Mango nervously through the border of the war zone guarded by layers of guards.

The boundary line that Shen Kuo and the others passed was guarded by turnip soldiers. Captain Mango led him there. I don’t know what message he sent to this row of tall and strong turnips. A gap that allows two people to walk side by side.Shen Kuo and Captain Mango walked past here.

Behind the radish soldier was an empty flat land, and about [-] meters away, there was another high green wall.

Shen Kuo had doubted the direction of civilization in this world before, thinking that they might not be able to make buildings by themselves at all, and those things that should have been hand-built by intelligent creatures might have been replaced by plant soldiers with corresponding special functions.

Because the tents of the plants are pyramid-shaped made of huge hard leaves one after another, and the places that should be strong are strong, and the places that should be soft are soft, and they remain motionless as if growing on the ground, just like plant soldiers Just like the magical ability of the human body, maybe it's just a kind of plant soldier with special functions.

But now that he walked in front of these tall green walls, he suddenly became sure that what he thought was right.

Because of the distance, he couldn't see clearly before, and he guessed whether these walls were made of wood as a skeleton and then some kind of twining vines were planted on them.But when he got closer now, he found that these plants had no support at all, and they wound themselves out layer by layer in a regular flat "o" shape.

They are neatly arranged like the metal coils that Shen Kuo saw in high school physics books. Every one meter there is a vine-like plant coiled into a wall that is one meter wide and about ten meters high. Seamless connection, dense circles can not find a little gap.

It's hard to imagine how these plants could bend so neatly.It is even more difficult to imagine how many plants of this kind will be composed of this huge green wall with no visible sides.

This is really a big project.Shen Kuo was amazed in his heart.So far he has basically confirmed that this is another plant soldier with special functions.

"The arrangement of these plant soldiers is really spectacular." He couldn't help but test Captain Mango who was walking in front of him.

Mango captains are a bit dull, but this has an advantage, they don't think too much or ask too many questions, and they are very easy to deceive.Once Shen Kuo came to trick them, they would basically answer everything they asked, and as long as there were no obvious mistakes, they would not question you, such as now.

"This is due to the high priest." As expected of Captain Mango, when he mentioned their high priest, he was also expressionless, much calmer than those mangosteens.

"Are these plant soldiers planted by the high priest?" Shen Kuo was curious.

"No, these were planted by the generals. The high priest is only responsible for creating them and endowing them with natural attributes." Captain Mango said honestly.

"Oh, so it was planted by the general." Shen Kuo couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Captain Mango's words are too informative.

What does it mean that the high priest is only responsible for creating them and endowing them with natural attributes?Could it be that these plants were all created by the high priest?And their abilities are not born with them but endowed by their high priest?No wonder, no wonder General Huaishu promised him that he could see the effect of the rice the next day, maybe their priests could make the rice directly after listening to his words.

Thinking of this, Shen Kuo became even more worried about whether his rice would be a fake rice with ostentation.What if you make something you can't eat?

While talking, they were already under the wall, just like passing through the defense line of the carrot soldiers before. I don't know what Captain Mango did. The plant in front of them automatically opened a hole, which was regarded as a "door" for them to pass through.

Shen Kuo followed closely behind Captain Mango, walked through this "door", and saw the normal living area of ​​the plant kingdom for the first time.

That's really a piece - a huge vegetable garden.Oh no, it might not be very accurate to say that. It should be said that this is a huge botanical garden, but the plants grown are mainly vegetables.

Those slices of fruit trees, as well as all kinds of familiar vegetables, such as cabbage, radish, potato, corn, celery, pepper, etc., are paved into a huge green plain that stretches as far as the eye can see.And the entrance where Shen Kuo entered was a small high slope.A thin path stretched from his feet to the end of the plain, where there was a group of tall green pyramids—needless to say, they must be of the same species as the plants in the barracks outside.

"Is that where the priest lives?" Shen Kuo pointed to the green pyramids.

"How is it possible?" Captain Mango gave him a strange look.

Shen Kuo suddenly felt guilty: "I am not, I have been living in seclusion with the mother tree, and the mother tree has never told me about these things."

"Oh." Captain Mango nodded, as if agreeing with his reason, and while motioning for Shen Kuo to follow him, he explained: "That is the cemetery, where the corpses of plant soldiers who died in battle are placed. The high priest created this kind of cemetery soldier with his incomparable divine power, as long as the plant soldier's corpse is placed inside, it will not rot, and it can remain in the state after death."

"If you haven't died, you don't know. Long, long ago, those plant soldiers who died in battle would turn into some foul-smelling devils after death. No matter where they were placed, they would make the surrounding residents feel uncomfortable. After a long time, living in Residents around them will also gradually die. This phenomenon can only be avoided by installing them in pods. And if all of them are filled with pods, it would be a waste of pods. Later, the high priest created this plant soldier, which is specially used to place those who died The plant soldiers." When Captain Mango talked about this matter, there was a slight respect on his face, it seems that in the so-called long, long time ago, the corpses of the plant soldiers after death did cause them a lot of trouble .

"It's really thanks to our high priest." Shen Kuo boasted wisely, and Captain Mango really showed satisfaction on his face.

The corners of Shen Kuo's mouth turned up slightly, but immediately, he thought of one thing - isn't the military camp in their area also the same kind of pyramid soldiers?Doesn't that mean that their barracks turned out to be a cemetery?

Suddenly, Shen Kuo had no place to complain: What do these plants think? It is enough to use the cemetery as a military camp.

Alas, maybe people's plants are very different from what we think. They are completely two kinds of creatures, and it is normal to have different brain circuits.Shen Kuo had no choice but to comfort himself, it was just a cemetery for their plants, not their human beings, so it didn't count for him.

Yes, it is like that.Shen Kuo comforted himself.

But after walking two steps, he suddenly thought, Ma Dan, no, it seems that their human pyramids are also used to release the dead, right?Aren't the Egyptian pyramids used to put their dead pharaohs?

Shen Kuo: Orz, it seems that he can't escape the fact that he is in and out of the cemetery all day long.

Shen Kuo complained frantically in his heart, but remained calm on his face.Although he knew that these plants couldn't see his expression clearly, they walked along this small path, planted by the roadside, no, the fruit trees growing were all greeting Captain Mango, and the vegetables were also saying hello to Captain Mango. He pays tribute.

"Xiaoqi is back."

"Did you come back to see your mother tree? Your mother tree misses you."

"Is Xiaoqi on duty?"

"Hahaha, stop talking, didn't you see Xiaoqi ignoring you? He must be on duty, don't bother him."

"Yes, yes, Xiao Qi is busy."

"Hahahahahaha..."

Although Captain Mango kept his eyes straight from the beginning to the end and said nothing, the fruit trees that are the mother trees all kindly teased Captain Mango.And Shen Kuo, who was following behind him, seemed to have not been seen at all, no tree cast a look at him, and no tree mentioned him.

Well, Shen Kuo sighed in his heart, is this discrimination?This is complete class discrimination.In the eyes of these fruit trees, I may be like a little ant crawling on the ground, and I can't get into their eyes at all.

Shen Kuo is more aware of the deep-rooted class discrimination in the plant kingdom, but because of this, he is even more confused: as a higher-level existence, the high priest should look down on plant soldiers even more than these fruit trees?How can I be able to be summoned by the high priest who is high above me!

Shen Kuo mourned in his heart: Why do I need to face a high priest who sounds amazing!God, earth, can't this high priest ignore his existence!

However, no matter how much Shen Kuo resisted in his heart, Captain Mango led him away, but he didn't dare to stop, let alone pretend to be smart and pretend that he couldn't walk because of a fall.This is an order from the high priest. If he pretends to fall or something, who knows if this stubborn mango will just carry him away.

The road from the entrance to the pyramid is very long, and Shen Kuo wished that it was infinitely far away. However, even if it is 100 meters, [-] meters, or [-] million meters, there will be a day to finish it. After a while, they finally came to those pyramids.

Looking at the small green pyramids from a distance, Shen Kuo estimated in his heart that they were only the size of an ordinary pyramid in the human world. However, when he got closer, Shen Kuo realized what it means to be near big and far small—these pyramids seem to be at least [-] meters high. Bar?His neck was so painful that he could only see the top of the tower.

My God, there are at least a hundred of such a big pyramid here, how many corpses of plant soldiers can be placed here?Shen Kuo suddenly felt itchy. To them, it was a corpse that took up a lot of space and was extremely difficult to handle. To them humans, wasn't this just ready-made food?And didn't Captain Mango say that?The pyramid made by their high priest has a fresh-keeping effect, and the corpses of the immediate plant soldiers must still be fresh.If this is all moved back to him...

Shen Kuo swallowed, and couldn't help but ask Captain Mango: "Are these... cemeteries filled with the corpses of those plants?"

Captain Mango looked back at him, as if wondering why he talked so much today, but he didn't think too much, and answered Shen Kuo's question without hesitation: "Almost, it's almost full. The general and the others had a meeting a few days ago to discuss Do you want to open up a new cemetery?"

Oh, that is to say, there is food in it.Shen Kuo nodded in satisfaction and didn't ask any more questions, but his mind couldn't help becoming active.
