Plant Invasion [End Times]

"But I still have to make one thing clear." Shen Kuo cleared his throat, ignored the strangeness in his heart, looked at Jin Shao honestly and said:

"I'm not sure what will happen if I take human beings, um, living things. As you know, there are no other living things in our village except human beings. So, in fact, I just use some dead things have been tested.”

"So what?" Jin Shao raised his eyebrows indifferently.

"How?" Unexpectedly, the things I valued became so insignificant to Jin Shao, Shen Kuo specially emphasized, "I haven't done experiments with that living body, do you know what this means? It means that you were taken by me The outcome of the past is unknown, unknown! You may die! You need to risk your life to get there."

"I know what you mean." Jin Shao raised his hand and made a calm gesture, "But, so what?"

"You—are you not afraid of death?" Shen Kuo was surprised at his lack of hesitation.

"Oh." Jin Shao couldn't help laughing.

He looked at Shen Kuo, whose outline still had a little unpolished childishness, twitched his fingers unconsciously, and thought about it: "Do you know what I used to do in the army?"

"What are you doing?" Shen Kuo wondered why he suddenly mentioned this.

Jin Shao looked at his confused expression and said with a smile: "I used to be in the special forces, the kind that was the captain. Have you ever heard a word called the People's Soldiers Forever? Since I joined that team, this Our destiny has already been handed over to the country. Whether we were in the army or in the mobile team, we are all destined to run for the people.

I told you before that I was kicked out, and it is true.I did not lie to you.I told you about my brother in the research institute, right?I did hide something here, and I apologize.He is not just an ordinary researcher, he is also the leader of his research group.Because of the framing of some selfish villains, rumors against my brother spread in the already depressing base city, saying that he did nothing and ate the food saved by the masses, but did nothing.A group of extremist people broke into my brother's residence secretly under the instigation of someone with a heart, and stabbed my brother as a demonstration.This incident just happened to me, I didn't expect that they were all extremely weak people... I accidentally beat those people to death..."

Under Shen Kuo's worried eyes, Jin Shao lowered his head, clenched his fists, calmed down and continued: "In short, I had a big conflict with them, my brother took the blame and resigned, and I charged him with intentional murder." The name was expelled."

He looked at Shen Kuo's face that was flickering with injustice and anger, and sighed: "Of course I also hate those ordinary people. I hate them for being impulsive and unwise...I have a thousand 1 There is no reason to hate them, and even want revenge on them.

But I...they are the people I tried so hard to protect before, my brother took the blame and resigned, and I was expelled from the city voluntarily, for what reason?Isn't it just to appease public grievances?

I suffer, and those at the bottom suffer too.Even if there is no one to count, I know that thousands of people die of starvation every day in the base city.Some people rose up to make trouble, they were wrong, but there were more people, they entrusted their lives, future, and the future of their children to people like me and my brother, and they died silently in a corner without even saying a word up.

Because they believe in us, and they can only believe in us.

Our ancestors had a saying, which is called Gou Li, and the life and death of the country should not be avoided because of misfortunes and blessings.Saying this kind of thing usually makes people think that they are in the second grade, but sometimes, this is the reason why our nation can be passed down to the present. "

Jin Shao looked outside, at the sky outside the courtyard, as if he was looking at a distant city through the clouds. His eyes drifted, but he said slowly and firmly: "If there is really someone who can save the people of that base city, The chance of my life, what is it if I just lose my life? And you didn’t say it, it’s just a possibility, it sounds like a very small possibility.”

Shen Kuo was completely convinced by him.

He even felt extremely ashamed.

As an ordinary person, the kindness and righteousness of the people in those big countries seems to be very far away from him, and it is difficult for him to really think about sacrificing his life for the country and the people.

He is patriotic, but these things occupy a small place in his heart, and they may be crowded out by other things at any time, and go to a place where he can't see.

For him, the way to serve the country is probably to live well and not add chaos to the country and society.Because the former motherland probably didn’t require him to sacrifice anything in particular. The motherland is so powerful, so for most people in this country, as long as they live well, live their own lives well, and don’t deliberately add chaos, it is a kind of patriotism.

Shen Kuo has also become accustomed to this way of thinking.

Although after the end of the world, the situation of the country has changed suddenly, and everyone's life has undergone tremendous changes.But because he was in a place isolated from the outside world from the beginning, it was difficult for his thoughts to turn around.

He always subconsciously felt that his country was extremely powerful and did not need any help from him.

When dealing with the large-scale organization of the country, he subconsciously put himself in the perspective of a child, thinking that he was attached to her, and that it was natural for him to get her help, because he was her child who was waiting to be fed. the weak.

Probably because of the depth of faith, the responsibility is also serious.So when the bad news of being abandoned reached his ears, so many grievances and resentments would emerge in his heart.

He was used to being cared and nurtured by his motherland, but he forgot that in the face of the end times, even a country as strong as his would be caught off guard and powerless.She can't save every one of her people, she can only try to keep as many people alive as possible, and minimize the damage as much as possible.

Perhaps, compared to the people of those countries where political parties struggle for power and the rule is chaotic, they are already extremely happy to be able to get supplies for a period of time after the end of the world.

Even if he can't get the news, Shen Kuo can guess what will happen to those foreign people when the end of the world comes.

First of all, their congress will shift the responsibility to the president, and then the president will push the responsibility back to the congress, and then several political parties will take the opportunity to attack the hostile political party. If you don’t let me, I won’t let you. wait to die.

When the people above finally unify their opinions, the people below should all be dead.

While Shen Kuo felt guilty, he suddenly felt deeply grateful.

He was fortunate that he was a flower grower when he encountered such a horrible end times.

He looked at Jin Shao who was out of his mind and didn't know what he was thinking when he looked at the sky, and wave after wave of gratitude surged in his heart.

It was because Jin Shao and the others in the mobile team were willing to risk their lives to collect supplies for the people of the base city that their village was discovered and there was a wall that brought safety.It is precisely because those members of the mobile team have risked their lives many times to send supplies to their village through the jungle of unknown dangers, so that the people in their village can hold the hope they gave in this extremely lonely end of the world ,Stick to it.

Even if Shen Kuo blamed the people in the base city and hated them for giving up the people here, he decided in his heart that he would have nothing to do with the people in the base city in the future and only live by himself.He also had to admit that without the sense of community and community given by the people in that base city, he didn't know if his village could last for so long.

It is precisely because he knows in his heart that there must be many people alive in the base city, many, many people, so he can unilaterally draw a clear line with the base city with hatred and grievances.

Human beings are gregarious creatures, social creatures, and in philosophy, human beings are defined as the sum of all social relationships.So humans need kindred.

Shen Kuo himself is blunt, but if there are really only 2000 people in his village left in this world, maybe just the feeling of loneliness with fallen leaves and no roots can kill the people in their village.

Physical hunger can be solved by Shen Kuo finding food from another world, but spiritual hunger and helplessness of losing belonging cannot be solved by Shen Kuo.

"What are you thinking?" Jin Shao's voice brought Shen Kuo back from his endless reverie.

"It's nothing." He shook his head, but there was emotion in his voice: "I just want to thank you people all of a sudden."

"Really, thank you." Shen Kuo looked into Jin Shao's eyes sincerely, "Thank you for traveling through thousands of mountains and rivers to deliver supplies for the so-called 200 people here."

"What do you say all of a sudden." Jin Shao blushed and touched his head uncomfortably, "Didn't I say that, these are what we should do."

"But...well, maybe that's the case for you." Shen Kuo smiled and sighed, with emotions flickering in his eyes, "So, let's discuss how to steal vegetables."

"Wait for me a moment." Shen Kuo ran upstairs and took a notebook and a pen.

"Let me first show you the terrain on the other side of the plant." He said with a few strokes "shua shua" to draw the first area of ​​general locust tree and the living area behind it that he knew.

"As far as I know, the sphere of influence of the plants is divided into two areas. One is the war zone, which is this part. Their barracks have been stationed for a long time, with their generals and captains. The border is guarded by plant soldiers. Without permission from above to cross the border, once you get close, you will be attacked."

"The back here is their living area. Most of the plants live here. The plants are planted in the ground by, um, maybe actively. I don't know if they can pull themselves out of the ground. .”

"And at the end of this so-called living area, there is a large area of ​​huge pyramid-like plants. You know the Egyptian pyramids, right? It's that kind, and the purpose of the pyramids in Egypt is the same as that of the Egyptian pyramids. The pyramids in the plants are also used as cemeteries. But all the plant soldiers who died in battle are placed in their cemetery, which is a kind of plant, a large category, well, maybe I should introduce you to the classification of the plant kingdom..."

Shen Kuo explained to Jin Shao the classification of plants in the plant kingdom in detail.

After hearing this, Jin Shao rubbed his chin and pondered, "That is to say, most of the plants there are intelligent creatures?"
