Qiao Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the guys with strange dwarf trees crawling out of the soil one after another.

They have a complete mouth and nose, and their eyes have a strange light green halo.Judging from the way they look at their surroundings from time to time, their eyes can see naturally in the dark.

This may also be an ability evolved by many creatures in the dark rainforest.Otherwise, those maddened and mutated creatures running wild would probably be enough to knock down a tree.

On the tops and bodies of these strange guys, there are occasional green leaves or vines. It is not known whether some plants mutated and became humanoid, or humans fused with some plants for some reason.

According to Qiao Nan's rough estimate, there are about a thousand of these strange treants they saw.However, they are not clustered together, but arranged horizontally.

The tree men closest to them were talking in low voices after they got out of the soil.

One of the guys with three leaves under his nose muttered, "I don't know how many times this method can be used..."

The tone is full of entanglement and emotion, as well as confusion about the future.

The tree man closest to him was shaking his head vigorously, and Qiao Nan saw a strange caterpillar lying on the leaf above its head.

It's a pity that it rattled the leaves on its head, but it didn't get rid of the insect. On the contrary, the tree man on the other side couldn't see it, and reached out to help it get off.

The tree man heaved a sigh of relief without the caterpillar, and said with emotion: "We are still alive, but there are still more than half of the population in the base, and they still don't agree to plant the seed mutation. If these people don't have food, I'm afraid they won't last long. "

The tree man who had just helped him remove the bugs said indignantly: "What's wrong with being a tree man? It's born to grow... As long as there is sunshine and rain, it can live. Unlike them, they still have to eat every day."

As he spoke, he muttered in a low voice: "Now Commander Fang and many high-level officials have problems, and they cannot leave the central area at all. If those berserk beasts and mutated creatures outside know about it, they will definitely not be afraid anymore.

In case they take the opportunity to attack the base, those who have not changed their physique will have to be a big meal. "

The tree man with three leaves under his nose made a silence gesture: "Don't talk nonsense... Those are not things we can worry about, let's just worry about today's harvest."

Some people in the team were also dissatisfied: "We have borrowed the power of Commander Fang for two weeks. Although we can successfully scare those guys away every time, the time for them to come back is getting shorter and shorter."

Another person continued: "Even if those mutated creatures don't know how to count, we can take the opportunity to get a few more eggs and catch some weak cubs, but if things go on like this, we will always run out of ammunition and food.

If they found out that it was not Commander Fang, they might retaliate even more.

Not only those people will face retaliation, I'm afraid we will all get angry. "

Several tree men nearby sighed in unison, this was also the most worrying thing in everyone's mind.

Another guy grabbed the messy leaves above his head and muttered, "You said that Commander Fang is so good, why can't he move?"

The others were puzzled when they heard the words, only a tree man with a slightly hunched back said softly: "I don't know if you have noticed, but our speed of climbing out of the soil has slowed down recently."

The rest of the treants nodded in unison. When they were first implanted with seeds, they couldn't stay in the soil for a long time.Later, in order to hunt and reduce the demand for food, it gradually adapted to absorb water and nutrients from the soil through the roots protruding from the body surface.

It's just that as time goes by, they get closer and closer to the trees, and they don't want to pull the roots out of the soil.Even when receiving tasks, they have to fight against themselves with willpower before they can get out of the mud.

Seeing that the people around him just nodded and didn't answer, the tree man asked in a low voice, "Do you think...will we become like Commander Fang in the future?"

This time, no one spoke, because they already had such a hazy answer in their hearts.It's just that the real environment is too cruel, and all treants must look forward.

Even if they gradually become immobile trees, they can continue to live.

However, if the seeds were not used, once Commander Fang really fell asleep, he would not be able to suppress those berserk and mutated creatures.Those who are left...will be food for those guys in no time.

When Qin Shaoheng heard the first half of their conversation, he knew that they must be survivors of the Guangnan Safety Zone; when he heard the word 'Commander Fang', his guess was even more certain.

Before the communication was interrupted, the person in charge of Guangnan was Fang Jingrong.This man is the youngest among the district commanders, and he has the best relationship with his elder brother Xiao Shaoyu.

Originally, he could have stayed in the capital, and everything was going well.But I was really tired of the Xin family's petty actions, and finally broke up with the Xin family directly.

In order to prevent the Xin family from moving Fang Jingrong, Mr. Xiao found an excuse and transferred the upright Commander Fang to Guangnan.

At that time, Commander Guangnan happened to be a subordinate of Xiao Lao's blood and blood. He was supposed to be pushed down from the position of commander, but because there was no good successor, he was afraid that the Xin family would take the opportunity to seize power, so he persisted.

It's just that Guangnan is humid here, and the old commander suffered from injuries and illnesses. He misses the dry climate in the north very much.Just when Fang Jingrong came, the old commander gritted his teeth and took care of him for two years, and finally threw the whole of Guangnan to him.

At that time, the Xin family also danced around for a long time, and the reason was that Fang Jingrong was too young.Even someone as outstanding as Wei Guangju did not become a commander until he was 50 years old, but Fang Jingrong was only 45 years old at the time.

The Xin family wanted to transfer an older leader and let Fang Jingrong sit in the deputy's chair.The purpose is naturally to take the opportunity to get involved in Guangnan, who knows what will happen in five years, maybe it will make Fang Jingrong unable to get up for the rest of his life.

It’s just that the Xiao family is not a vegetarian either. After the game between the two sides, Guangnan gave two division commanders to the nearby Yunlai Military Region, and Fang Jingrong also secured his position as the top leader of Guangnan.

At that time, almost all commanders had at least nine divisions under their command, and only Fang Jingrong was forced to give up two divisions.Behind his back, many people call him 'Seventh Commander', which actually has a derogatory connotation of Seventh Aunt and Young Wife.

Of course, this is also a wrong number made by the Xin family, and the Yunlai military region was originally a small military region, and after winning the two divisions from Guangnan, its status immediately rose.

The Xin family's "for" generation almost fought over their heads, and the one who finally took office was triumphant, while the one who failed to stay in Yunlai gritted his teeth in hatred.

It's a pity that no one expected that Fang Jingrong, who is usually upright and upright, would actually dig a big hole for the Xin family.

The Yunlai Military Region used to be a well-known peaceful place, but it was only after the Kexin family came to power there that they realized that they had been fooled.

In the past, Taiping was always protected by Guangnan because Yunlai was a small place.But with the addition of those two divisions, Fang Jingrong shrunk Guangnan's defenses, and Yunlai's peaceful days were naturally over.

The Xin family who had been sent to Yunlai to take charge was miserable, and the two extra teachers were often hindered, which caused him to burn out.Just happened a few more troubles, and was scolded bloody by the capital.

In the end, he was ordered to replace the two divisions that "disobeyed orders" with Fang Jingrong.

The Xin family was naturally not reconciled, and after fighting for two years, Yunlai was able to expand two divisions.As for the personnel, it is up to the Xin family to figure out their own way.

Before the outbreak of the virus, Fang Jingrong had been the top leader in Guangnan for three years, and the establishment of Yunlai's two divisions had not yet been assembled.

Although the tree men were talking in a low voice, their movements were not slow, and they never kept a distance from the advancing team.

Qiao Nan and the two made a rough guess, and did not show up in a hurry, and quietly followed these people on the tree.

The treants quickly swept through the jungle, but whenever they passed the nests of those mutated creatures, they would gain something.

Qin Shaoheng knew that they must have taken some measures to scare away those berserk and mutated creatures.So they have to hurry up, so that they dare to leave with more spoils before they come back.

Judging by their proficiency, they should have done it many times before.In addition, the tree people did not carry weapons, Qiao Nan felt that the probability of them being in danger should be very low.

After all, when danger comes, as long as they stick into the soil, they will be indistinguishable from the surrounding plants.

It's just that this time the tree people's good luck seemed to have run out. When they wanted to steal a giant egg of a mutant creature, three huge tiger-shaped berserk beasts came back.

It is estimated that these three guys have been eyeing this mutant creature's lair for a long time, and they also want to take the opportunity to come back to make a bargain, but they did not expect to run into the tree people.

Qiao Nan and the others were far away, and there was no time to remind them when they found that the situation was not good.

Qin Shaoheng came to the front with a teleport, just in time to see one of the tiger-shaped berserk beasts biting a tree man hard.

The tree man didn't expect such an encounter at all, facing the huge berserk beast, he closed his eyes in fright.

Qiao Nan waved his hands with two strands of mysterious energy, one thick whip lashed at the side face of the tiger-shaped berserk beast, deflecting it; the other quickly rolled up the standing tree man and sent it away farther.

Qin Shaoheng also released several streams of mysterious energy, dragging some treants who were stunned by the tiger's roar farther away.

Qiao Nan saw that most of the treants were calm when they encountered the berserk beast, and even ran over to help, dragging the unconscious man rescued by Qin Shaoheng farther to avoid being attacked by the berserk beast.

Some were even more daring, shaking their hands and feet from time to time to make them longer, and when Qin Shaoheng and the others were dealing with the three huge tiger-shaped berserk beasts, they quietly stretched out their hands and feet to stumble.

Although one tree after another was pulled off the ground by the weight of the tiger-shaped berserk beast, they persisted in holding each other back.

It's a pity that their attack power is too weak to cause fatal injuries to the opponent.Fortunately, Qiao Nan and the others were there, so there were no casualties among the tree people.

The three berserk beasts were finally dealt with, and the treants were not in a hurry to rejoice, they heard Qiao Nan shout loudly: "There are still berserk beasts running this way, we have to evacuate with emotion."

Because of the appearance of the berserk beast, the tree people gathered together, and they didn't dare to stop when they heard Qiao Nan's shout.They all hurriedly took the harvest this time, and quickly ran in the direction where they appeared.

Qiao Nan and Qin Shaoheng followed behind, and dealt with two more berserk beasts that were chasing up.

It wasn't until they entered the safe area that the tree people slowed down.

One of the leaders came over to Qiao Nan and said, "Hello, my name is Li Yan, and I am the captain of this food search team..."

Li Yan was actually very strange. In his feeling, the two guys opposite should be normal human beings.But for some reason, these two normal humans can see normally in the dark rainforest, and they can kill such a powerful berserk beast.

He paused for a moment and said, "The two of you may be from outside, I don't know how to call you."

In fact, Li Yan's voice was visibly trembling. Since the communication was interrupted, they had only dealt with the relatively nearby Yunlai base a few times.

Later, the Yunlai base almost became the hardest hit area for the infection because of the injection of the 'imitation virus vaccine'.

If Commander Fang hadn't had the foresight to send someone to blow up the bridge, blocking Yunlai's only passage, and leading some powerful supernatural beings to slowly consume the berserkers there, more than [-] people in the entire Guangnan base would be killed. I have to be buried with you.

Unfortunately, they are now at the end of their rope.

Li Yan hopes to see hope and turning point from the two outsiders, at least there are still people alive outside!

But thinking of their current situation, Li Yan felt bitter again.

More than 80.00% of the officers and soldiers in the base have to live with this plant, which protects them to a certain extent and survives in the harsh environment.Only in this way can they protect those unarmed civilians to a greater extent.

But symbiosis comes at a price, that kind of plant has changed their bodies, and he no longer knows if he is a human being.

Qin Shaoheng stretched out his hand to hold Li Yan's dry and strange hand, but he didn't seem to feel any strangeness: "Hello, my name is Qin Shaoheng, and I come from the Fengchuan base in the north..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yan interrupted him excitedly: "You said, you are Qin Shaoheng, and you came from Fengchuan in the north!"

Qin Shaoheng nodded: "Yes, I am Qin Shaoheng..."

Li Yan's lips couldn't help trembling, he had naturally heard of Qin Shaoheng's name.Whether it was before or after the outbreak of the virus, this Qin Er Shao was a prominent figure.

He managed to calm down his emotions, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, Second Young Master, I... I'm too excited."

Li Yan sucked his nose and barely held back his tears: "You can see what we are like now, what our eyes see is different from ordinary people...

In fact, I can't see what you look like.What I can see is a kind of energy profile of you, because everyone radiates a different energy field, and it is this energy field that distinguishes us from each other. "

Qin Shaoheng patted the back of his hand that was still holding him, and comforted him: "Don't worry, there will always be a solution."

Li Yan felt a bitterness in his heart, if there was a way, so many treants in the base would not gradually fall into a deep sleep.

However, he was still very grateful for Qin Shaoheng's comfort. For a small character like him, he was already very moved that the other party could comfort him in such a pleasant manner.

Only then did Li Yan remember that his claws like old tree roots were still holding on to the opponent's hand.He retracted his hand in embarrassment, and smiled kindly at Qiao Nan who was behind Qin Shaoheng.

He can't see the opponent's appearance now, but judging from the situation of this person's berserk attack just now, he is also a remarkable person.

Qiao Nan nodded politely: "Second Young Master didn't mean to coax you just now, Fengchuan Base has independently developed dozens of medicines to cope with the current harsh environment, including Z virus eradication preparations.

Moreover, in conjunction with Mengliang, there are nearly a hundred kinds of inhibitors for various mutated biological toxins. "

One stone really stirred up a thousand waves, Qiao Nan's words made the tree people excited.

Qiao Nan quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Everyone take us to see Commander Fang first. As for the follow-up matters, I think Er Shao Qin will discuss with Commander Fang."

Li Yan hurriedly said: "Yes, I will take you two to meet Commander Fang."

After speaking, he walked quickly ahead, and a group of tree men followed behind with the food they found.

If it wasn't for Li Yan's leadership, Qiao Nan felt that unless they were close to this station, they would never have thought that there would be humans living here.

Numerous tree men, big and small, stood guard around the camp. Most of them were half buried in the soil. When the two walked by, some would open their eyes with green halos and look at them carefully.

Most of them are like trees. If it weren't for their obvious facial features, the two of them might really regard them as trees.

Qiao Nan let out a hint of mysterious energy, entered the body of a tree man who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and found that the breath of life in the tree man's body was very strong.This seems to be a good performance for both plants and humans.

Why do you fall asleep when you just perform well?

Qiao Nan Qiao Nan moved the mysterious air, and gradually he found that the tree man was transforming.This transformation will not make him materialize, but will allow him to better switch between humans and plants.

However, it requires a lot of energy, and it may take a long time for them to complete this transformation naturally without human intervention.

Li Yan, who was walking in front, slowed down, and said to Qin Shaoheng who was following behind: "You two have seen us, and Commander Fang is similar to us, but much bigger than us... precisely because Commander Fang, we can survive in this jungle until now."

Qiao Nan's forward steps suddenly stopped, and he felt an extremely vigorous life.

Qin Shaoheng naturally felt it too, and he followed the source of that exuberant vitality.

An extremely tall tree stood less than 50 meters in front of the two of them.

Qiao Nan looked up at the top of the tree, and a pair of huge dark green eyes looked down at him and Qin Shaoheng.

It seemed that because the two were walking too close, the big tree bent slightly, and immediately there was a sound of grinding leaves.

Qin Shaoheng stopped Qiao Nan's waist, and with a teleport, he landed on the arm-like branch of the giant tree.

"Commander Fang, hello, I'm Qin Shaoheng. This is my partner, Qiao Nan."

The giant tree nodded to the two, and said in a voice like a bell: "I know you."

Qiao Nan actually heard a bit of intimacy from the said voice, and he heard Commander Fang, who had turned into a giant tree, say: "You have also seen what I am now... Sigh... I just want more people to live go down..."

Commander Fang's voice turned sad, and Qiao Nan could understand his helplessness.

The commander on the other side continued: "I used to be a plant-type supernatural being, and I was infected with a virus during a fight with a berserk plant.

I wanted to end my life before the virus came out, only to find out that I didn't have the virus.Afterwards, my five senses became more acute, and I was able to freely switch forms between plants and humans.

Later, a strange seed was derived..."

Speaking of which, the giant tree shook its body, and a few crystal-clear seeds with a little bit of light fell towards Qin Shaoheng and the others.Qin Shaoheng raised his hand to catch the seed, and both he and Qiao Nan were shocked by the extreme and exuberant vitality.

Sighing again, Commander Fang said slowly: "In the beginning, some soldiers were bitten by berserk beasts. In desperation, I had no choice but to act as a living horse doctor, crushing these seeds and smearing them on the wounds.

It actually slowed down the spread of the toxin, but it couldn't completely control the spread of the virus.

Later, I discovered that the growth of the seeds could actually take away the toxin, so I implanted the seeds into the bodies of those soldiers. Sure enough, their virus did not continue to spread, but their bodies gradually grew branches and leaves, and began to implant with me. seed symbiosis.

This symbiosis begins to slowly alter their bodies, and when they take on fully vegetal form, the berserkers ignore them.

The continuous drought is unbearable for many people, but the treants who live in symbiosis with plants are more resistant to drought.The berserk creatures outside became more and more ferocious, and almost broke through the safe zone several times.

As a last resort, I began to distribute seeds to my subordinates and encourage them to live symbiotically with plants.This will not only be more conducive to the survival of the safe zone in this horrible environment, but also save more people from dying of starvation and lack of water.

Especially when the sea beasts attacked, the tree people formed a dense encirclement, blocking the breath of human beings, so that everyone escaped.

After that, many people wanted to get seeds, but mine became less and less.

Later, with the onset of the rainy season, the place was covered by huge plants in less than ten days. The treants were fine. Normal humans could not survive in the rainforest. The body hunts mutant creatures and picks fruits. "

Qiao Nan and Qin Shaoheng nodded at the same time, they had a deep understanding of this.

Another long sigh: "It's a pity, it's a pity... They were all killed by me, the tree people are degenerating, and they are getting closer to plants..."

Qiao Nan shook his head: "Commander Fang, I don't agree with what you said. If it weren't for you, they might not be alive at all. The so-called survival of the fittest, their changes are just to adapt to this cruel world.

But... we are human beings, so we find it difficult to accept such a change in ourselves..."

The giant tree nodded slightly, and the leaves made a rustling sound.

From his actions, Qiaonan felt too much helplessness. The commander still hoped that his subordinates and the people he guarded could live smoothly in the form of human beings.

Qiao Nan glanced at Qin Shaoheng, and saw that he was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. Obviously, he also felt the situation of those tree people.
