Those years of engaging with the system for animal insurance

In this mission, Li Cixin turned into a plant! ?

"System, system, how can I complete the task when I turn into a plant, I can't even move!"

He felt a little anxious and uncomfortable with the feeling that he couldn't move now, so he could only turn to the system for help.

"Drip! The current host is Angiosperm - Dicotyledoneae - Rosacea - Fabaceae - Wisteria - Wisteria.

Unlock the gene - unlimited proliferation, upgrade the self-healing gene to the top level. "

I was scared to death, thinking that I would definitely not be able to complete the task this time.

With the addition of this new infinite proliferation gene, there are now a total of six mission-unlocking genes: strength, speed, gigantic, self-healing, stealth, and infinite proliferation.

"System, can these six be used at the same time?" Li Cixin asked greedily.

"No, in order to save energy for transformation, the host can only choose four genetic transformations."

Four are enough, Li Cixin accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said in his heart: Unlimited proliferation and invisibility are necessary, after all, he is a plant now, and his mobility is limited.

After thinking about it again, I clicked on Strength and Speed.As for the self-healing function that has been upgraded to the top, to some extent, it overlaps with the infinite proliferation function, so it was abandoned.

let's start!

Although plants don't feel pain, Li Cixin is now controlling the plants themselves with a kind of mental power.He still felt the pain.

After a day and a night, the transformation is complete.

When he regained consciousness again, what he saw was an old lady watering herself.

After entering the details of this mission, the system disappeared again.

Li Cixin had no choice but to sort out the cause of the incident.

The ultimate goal of this mission is to protect the shelter forest and ancient trees in Shadu.

Shadu is an important city in the northwest of China, and also a famous historical and cultural city.In ancient times, it used to be the main throat connecting China and the Western Regions.Therefore, it embodies a very colorful cultural blending scene.

Shadu murals that shocked the world and many Buddhist grottoes are located here.

Over the years, Sadu has always been famous both at home and abroad for its tourism industry.However, the dry climate and unreasonable land use in history have led to very serious land desertification.

Since the last century, the people of Huaxia Kingdom have started to build artificial protective forests to prevent the desert from eroding the territory.

Similar to it is that there are many northern regions in China.

And the shelterbelt that stretches thousands of miles is the famous Three North Shelterbelt, which took the painstaking efforts of two or three generations.Finally, it grew from a seedling to a towering guardian.

Since the new era, the effect of windbreak and sand fixation of shelterbelts is quite remarkable.

But times are changing, and people's hearts are also changing. The Huaxia Kingdom in the new era still cannot avoid the influence of economic laws.

In recent years, in order to make money from real estate, Sadu, which has a small permanent population, has continued to build houses, and many idle land has been occupied and converted into construction land.

This is not the most frightening thing. The most chilling thing is that in order to develop economic crop grapes, regardless of the destruction of the environment, a large amount of unrestrained use of water resources.

As a city next to the desert, Shadu's water resources are relatively tight.The farmers who planted grapes did not adjust the scale of production, and continued to expand the area of ​​​​grape planting, and even set up a winery.

Grapes, as an economic crop with an extremely high water draft, are depleted of soil fertility very quickly, and grapes compete with shelterbelts for water immediately.

In order to expand the scale of grape planting and reduce the water supply to the shelterbelts, some farmers secretly hired people to cut down part of the shelterbelts.

The way they cut down is not to cut down one piece, but to choose to cut down a part of the forest with higher density.

In this way, from the appearance, if you don't look carefully, you can't see that Lin Zi has been tampered with.

Some people are even more vicious, directly peeling off the bark, or burning the bark with fire.It is often said that if a tree does not need bark, it will surely die.In this way, they also lied that the books planted many years ago died naturally, and not many people would care at all.

There is a saying or speculation: the Loulan Kingdom that disappeared in history was due to the unrestrained cultivation of grapes and other fruits for trade when trade was flourishing.

Similar scenes are still happening in today's Shadu.

In just a few years, the area of ​​Shadu Shelter Forest has been reduced by almost half.

Li Cixin is currently in a flower pot on the balcony. It has grown its own root system and used its stealth skill to hang down from the balcony.After fixing it, I pulled it hard, and even the flower pot fell off.

The old lady who heard the sound went out to the balcony to look down, and hurried downstairs, only to have a broken pot left.Anxiously, she yelled at him, scolding the thief for being so poor and crazy that he even stole the potted plants he just bought.

And Li Cixin, who was completely invisible, quickly moved to the nearby park to take root.

The root system kept fixing down, and it didn't take long for it to go down several meters.

The underground and ground vines radiate in all directions like cobwebs, starting to lay out.The residents of the community couldn't see this weird scene at all.

In just a few weeks, Li Cixin's invisible vines and roots have covered the entire Sand City.Like goblins and ghosts in fairy tales.

The wisteria flowers growing on his body became more and more colorful.

Now the whole city is under his control, and he can observe what the residents say and do as long as he wants to.

At the same time, he noticed one of the mission locations.

Ancient forest!

There is a huge tree growing here, which is estimated to be no less than a hundred years old, surrounded by old houses.It's just that the people living at the moment are all older people.

The root system buried in the shallow layer felt the footsteps of an uncle passing by, and the aunt standing at the door asked:

"What's the matter, still no water?"

The uncle dropped the iron bucket, sighed, and said:

"They want to build houses here, why would they give us water? They wish these old pear trees would die."

"Oh, it's been a crime for so many years." The aunt sighed, and then said: "If they pay us more for the demolition fee, we will not stop them from cutting down the tree. The pear tree we have raised for generations. Alas”

"Think of a way again!" The uncle lit a cigarette and went back to the house.

After listening to the conversation, Li Cixin combined with the details of the task, and understood that this is because the developer took a fancy to this land and forcibly picked the brand of the ancient tree.

The pear trees here were originally planted by people two or three hundred years ago, and the nearby residents have relied on them for generations to eat and sell pears.

It is very rare for a pear tree to be more than a hundred years old, let alone so many century-old pear trees that have become forests and can continue to bear fruit.It is of great research significance and cultural value.

Such a rare ancient forest should be cut down if not well protected.

In the beginning, the developer was strongly blocked by the residents.Simple common people don't have much awareness of protecting ancient forests, but some feudal superstitions think that they cannot be cut down.

In essence, the root cause of their strong opposition is still a matter of interests.

On the one hand, they are reluctant to leave the place where they have lived for decades; on the other hand, they are not given enough money.Who would want to cut down the pear trees that they used as one of their sources of income?

Even these century-old pear woods are rare materials for making furniture and coffins.It can't be that cheap for those people.

But most of the people living here are elderly people, and young people basically work in other places.

The developer recruited a group of hooligans, dug up the canal, and stopped the water for them to water the trees.

If it is in previous years, there is still a little rain and it will not be so.But this year's weather is not good, it hasn't rained for a long time, and when the pears are about to grow, I am very worried.

I can't bear to drink water by myself, so I don't have spare money to buy water to water the trees.

Seeing that the pear tree was already in decline, Li Cixin thought of a way. He grew his own root system with the pear tree's root system, and some of the roots continued to work hard until they reached the place where there was water.

It stands to reason that such a perennial tree should have a well-developed root system, so it won't fail to survive until now.

It turned out that the hard work of several generations of nearby residents in watering made the pear tree take root not as deep as imagined, a bit like being born in sorrow and dying in peace.

Li Cixin used his infinite multiplication ability to let his own root system grow together with the pear tree root system.

On the one hand, it absorbs the water resources deep below to feed back the pear tree, and on the other hand, it pulls the roots of the pear tree to grow downward.Lest they die of thirst after they leave.

This is a relatively major project. It took Li Cixin three days to basically complete the water supply, and the root growth had to be slow.

Seeing the original yellow leaves turn emerald green again, and the crumbling green fruits also become plump, the residents feel that it is unbelievable.

During this period of time, there was no rain and no watering. The tree actually came alive. Could it be that it really became a spirit?

Not only the residents were also surprised, but also the developer. A person who had been staring outside hurriedly ran to a villa to inform.

At this moment in the villa, several people were having dinner, and one of the middle-aged men opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for everyone present:

"Please! Everyone, this is a newly developed wine in our winery. We invited a professional winemaker from Faguo. The raw materials, equipment and technology are all first-class. Try it!"

"That's right, it's basically the same as the imported ones, and even more fragrant."

"It seems that Mr. Wu's business is going to a new level."

"Where is there, compared with Wang's real estate business, it is a little house sparrow meeting a phoenix!"

"Hahaha, that's too much praise, everyone, we should be most grateful to these two!"

"Of course, of course, if it weren't for the two leaders, we wouldn't be able to achieve what we are doing now. We must toast them first!"

"Come, come!"

A group of people pushed and changed glasses until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night before leaving in all directions.

"President Wang, there is someone who needs to report to you." The nanny asked.

"What's the matter, it's the middle of the night."

"...he has been waiting since seven o'clock until now..."

"Okay, okay, see you!"

A few minutes later, the drunk Mr. Wang saw the visitor:

"Oh, it's you, what can you do to find me in the middle of the night?"

As soon as the man met, he told him about the dead trees in the ancient forest.

I saw that Mr. Wang blushed and asked:

"Didn't I tell you to cut off their water supply? I can't handle a few trees, so what's the use of raising you? I'm ashamed to ask me what to do.

I don't care what you do, whether you go to peel the bark or set fire tonight, if you don't get rid of those broken trees, don't come back to see me. "

After getting angry, the man heard snoring before he could answer.It turned out that the other party had fallen asleep.

At two o'clock in the morning, several young men came to the ancient forest with knives.While the moon was dark and the wind was high, I was ready to peel the bark.

In order not to alarm the old man and old lady who are young, several people planned to start mowing from the middle of the forest.

As a result, as soon as he started, the vision suddenly appeared.

Several people suddenly lost their balance and fell to the ground. Their wrists and ankles seemed to be bound by hemp rope, and something was wrapped around their mouths. There was no time to scream.As soon as it made a sound, the strange thing burrowed into its mouth, and these people were lifted up and lifted into the canopy of the tree.

The knife fell to the ground with a clang, startling the light-sleeping old man.
