Plant Invasion [End Times]

"It's very simple." Jin Shao said, "Play dead."

"Ah?" Shen Kuo was taken aback.

"I'm joking." Jin Shao expressed his apology not so sincerely, "Actually, I'm waiting to die."

"Wait to die?"

"Generally, if we enter the depths of the dense forest, we, if we have determined that we cannot get out in time, at this time, the only thing we can do is wait for death. Hey, don't be so surprised. It's not as bad as you think, those trees will not attack Objects that don't move. Or, as long as you don't make obvious movements, they will almost never attack you."

Having said this, Jin Shao pondered for a while before continuing: "You know, if those research institutes in Base City want to research non-toxic plants, they must experiment with those plants outside the city. Remember Did I tell you that I'm from the mobile team?"

"I remember." Shen Kuo thought for a while, nodded, and looked at Jin Shao intently, waiting for what he had to say next.His intuition told him that Jin Shao had something to say.

"I forgot to tell you, I was the captain of the mobile team before." Jin Shao said calmly.

"Captain? You—" Shen Kuo was surprised to find that he wasn't surprised at all, "Yes, the one in a million should be the captain. It is said that the mobile team was reorganized from the original army? After your mobile team was reorganized Mainly responsible for what? Maintain order?"

Shen Kuo imagined Jin Shao walking around the streets of the city in military uniform with a gun in his hand to maintain order, and felt that he was not very acceptable.

"What are you thinking about?" Jin Shao shook his head and laughed, "That's the job of the city administrators, that is, the people from the government. In addition to regularly clearing the plants that grow near the city, our task is to go into the jungle to replace those scientific researchers. Collect plant specimens."

Shen Kuo could hear that the jobs Jin Shao mentioned were understated and dangerous. To remove plants, those plants that can easily grow to tens of meters high and draw out long vines to attack people are so easy to remove?Not to mention that they have to go into the jungle to collect plant specimens, which is no different from pulling out the dragon's beard from the dragon's nest.

Don't look at Jin Shao's words as if entering the jungle is not dangerous at all, but that is after gaining experience and mastering the routines of the plants, and before knowing that the plants have three burnout periods a day, they certainly don't know how many people they lost. .What's more, they not only want to enter the jungle, but also collect specimens of plants.

Shen Kuo could imagine that it must be another scene where the scientific researcher gave an order, and countless soldiers threw their heads and blood for it.

Although it has nothing to do with him now, Shen Kuo still praised those mobile team members who are selfless and public.If it is said that after the end of the world, Shen Kuo is the only one who still has a little affection for those people in the base city, and that is those people who were originally soldiers and later reorganized into mobile teams.

Shen Kuo didn't forget that if the soldiers hadn't passed by while transporting food and built a high wall for them, they would have died long ago.If you don't die at the hands of plants, you will die at the hands of those wandering by.

When Shen Kuo took in people, he rejected many people who seemed unfriendly.If it wasn't for the protection of this high wall, he was inside and those people were outside, so why would he dare to refuse people?

In addition, Shen Kuo is also grateful to the mobile team members who have delivered food and daily necessities to their village thousands of miles away.

He never blamed them for not coming, because they were only responsible for following orders, and orders were given by those who made decisions at the top of Base City.

Of course, if you really want to say it, Shen Kuo should not blame anyone, because those decision makers are also for the future of mankind, and they may be suffering in their hearts when they make such a decision.

But it's strange, maybe human beings are such creatures. When Shen Kuo thinks of the mobile team, he can completely understand and not blame them, and only respects them in his heart; but when thinking of those who make decisions, it is difficult to be more tolerant to them.

Maybe I'm not Madonna enough.Shen Kuo laughed at himself.

"It must be very hard, right?" Shen Kuo just said with some emotion, and didn't mention that many people must have died when they "opened up wasteland" in the first place.

"Well, it was very hard." Jin Shao nodded, his eyes were deep, as if he remembered something.

Shen Kuo didn't want him to linger on this heavy topic, and asked some details about the use of his ability.

Then he turned his attention to Jin Shao's ability to control the air distortion to make himself invisible.

He suddenly had a bold idea.

He tried to put his hand on Jin Shao's.

But before he touched it completely, Jin Shao jumped up like a cat with fried fur: "What are you doing, you?"

"What else do I want to say about you?" Shen Kuo was confused by his surprise.

"I thought... I thought... it wasn't... I..." Jin Shao stood there and talked incoherently for a long time, but he couldn't explain anything, and finally said: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."

Shen Kuo didn't understand what was going on with him, but he never did, and he didn't take this episode to heart.He continued to put his hand on the back of Jin Shao's excitedly, and said excitedly: "Hey, try to use your ability, let's see if you can also affect me."

Jin Shao glanced at his hand, and finally closed his eyes without saying anything, concentrating on controlling.

Soon, Shen Kuo watched Jin Shao disappear before his eyes little by little, first his feet, then his torso, hands, head, and even the clothes on his body disappeared together.

"Try spreading this influence to me." Shen Kuo's eyes lit up.

Just now, a bold plan rose in his mind.But that was based on the fact that Jin Shao's ability was strong enough.

Shen Kuo stared nervously at his palm touching Jin Shao.

Then he saw that a small piece of his hand really disappeared, which was the piece that was in contact with Jin Shao.

I have to say, watching my hand disappear but I can feel where it is, this feeling is really beyond description.

And when he slightly arched his hand up, he could see a little bit of the back of his hand.

Shen Kuo couldn't help moving, and like a child, he put his hand on Jin Shao's hand, watched the hand disappear, and then moved his hand away from him, allowing the hand to reappear.

"I can only control this now." Jin Shao withdrew his ability and reappeared in the space. Shen Kuo also put away his child-like excited expression a little embarrassedly, and took his hands back as if nothing had happened.

"However, I think that as long as I practice for a period of time, I will definitely be able to control a wider range in the future." Jin Shao added, he thought for a while, and said as if he was making a guarantee with someone: "It will definitely be enough for me at that time." You go invisible."

"I didn't force you to do this." For some reason, Shen Kuo suddenly felt that he had become hypocritical. He clearly hoped this in his heart, but the words that came out of his mouth became different.

"I didn't say you forced it." Jin Shao glanced at him and said to himself, "But if I take you out, I must ensure your safety."

"By the way," he frowned and thought for a moment, "How long does it take to prepare your food?"

"It will take a while, my... Immortal will not give me so much food at once." Shen Kuo said after deliberation.

Thinking that Jin Shao had given him everything, while he was still making up stories about the old man, he panicked, and couldn't help worrying about what would happen if he found out the truth someday.

Then he became vigilant again: "Why are you asking this?"

Could it be that he is starting to doubt now?

But this time it was really just Shen Kuo's guilty conscience.

I saw Jin Shao patted his head unnaturally, then raised his head to look at the fence on the side of the yard, and said casually: "I mean, if that fairy refuses, you don't either. It is necessary to be so urgent, because it may take me a long time to master my abilities—maybe more than half a month or not.”

He didn't have the nerve to tell Shen Kuo that when he first got the ability to make air bullets, it took him more than a month to do whatever he wanted.

Of course, he just needs to expand his range of controlling the distorted air, as long as the range of two people is enough, some intuition in his heart tells him that this shouldn't be too difficult—if he practices hard.

"Oh, it turned out to be this." Shen Kuo relaxed his tense mood a little, "I really can't prepare for this in a while. According to the food that the fairy gave me every day, I have to prepare at least enough food for the village. The food for one to two years should be enough for us to eat on the road, and there must be at least tens of thousands of cubic meters of food for the people who arrived at the temporary base... In short, the more you prepare, the better you will be. Okay? No hurry, no hurry, I'm not in a hurry, and neither are you."

"Cubic meters?" Jin Shao was a little surprised by his strange way of measuring food, but maybe this is Shen Kuo's habit?He didn't take it to heart, but nodded reassuringly: "That's good, indeed, even though I'm sure of our going out this trip, no one dares to say that it's safe at this time. You should leave more time for the villagers. It's right to order food."

Shen Kuo said: "That's what I think. You said that if I'm really so unlucky, I won't be able to come back after this trip. With the food support for the past two years, if the base city can really research what Hope, that should be figured out. At that time, they must also try to search for survivors in other places, right? The people and coordinates of our village are all registered in the city, and they will not be afraid that they will not know by then here."

Jin Shao patted him hard on the shoulder: "Why do you say such frustrating words before you leave? Don't worry, we will definitely not have any accidents."

Shen Kuo gritted his teeth and rubbed his shoulders in pain, "Jin Shao! There is something wrong with you!"

"Hahaha, I'm sorry to be excited for a while..." Jin Shao's barely apologetic apology sounded in the courtyard, occasionally mixed with Shen Kuo's low warning words.

As soon as the sound was blown by the wind, it immediately dissipated.

Only the high and vast sky is left, and the white clouds move leisurely with the wind.

No insects chirping.

winter is here.
