Chapter 4: The Tree and Fruit of Life
Due to the trust and authorization of the team organization to Professor Wang Mingxun, the professor carries a soldier agreement contract with him at all times. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The dozen or so pages in front of Mu Li, as long as he signed, it meant that he would no longer be an ordinary student or a human from now on, but would join the battle to save 200 million sleeping vegetative people without hesitation.
Ask yourself, Mu Li has not yet saved the noble realm of all mankind, he just feels that after joining this mysterious team, it is the only way to save his sister.
Therefore, he didn't carefully read the content of the clauses inside, so he picked up the pen and wrote the word 'Mu Li' in the signature column on the last page.
After that, the old professor took him to the secret research institute on the third basement floor of the University of Science and Technology.
To Mu Li's surprise, the so-called research institute was similar to a university dormitory, with a total of twenty rooms. The room number assigned by the old professor to Mu Li is exactly 20.
There are about 20 square meters of room, there is a desk, a single bed, an office chair and a water dispenser. The simple and neat furnishings are clear at a glance.
However, at the head of the single bed was a black helmet, connected to the control room outside the room with a data cable.
"From now on, this will be your battle base." The old professor smiled and said, "Do you see that thing on the bedside?" In the future, you will have to wear a helmet before you go into battle, which is a body armor that guarantees that you will come back alive. ”
Mu Li nodded and said, "Then can you start now?" ”
"No, no, I think it's still necessary for you to participate in the training, and I'll find you a skilled instructor......"
"I want to go to the world in my dream first, don't worry, I won't do anything out of the ordinary, just to see the situation."
The old professor couldn't argue with Mu Li, and finally had to agree to let him enter the dream world of the vegetative man for half an hour.
Mu Li found the most comfortable position to lie down, and then began to sleep in the same way as he entered his sister's dream. And the helmet on his head has the function of soothing the mind and accelerating sleep.
In less than a minute, Mu Li fell into a sweet sleep.
The feeling of traveling through the stars hit instantly, Mu Li tried to open his heart again, this time with the help of the latest technology of the team led by the professor, he successfully broke through the boundary element barrier and entered the dream world of plant people.
The sun shone on the crisp grass, the birds flew freely in the sky, the figures swayed in front of the sight, the breeze hit, and the leaves behind them rustled. Mu Li observed the environment around his body incredulously, which was different from the place where he and his sister met before, heaven and hell.
He was on a small hill, and as far as the eye could see, there was a small town not far away. Some of them still have smoke from their roof chimneys.
Those people should be walking towards Mu Li, they were wearing coarse cloth clothes, both men and women had rough and dark skin, and they all had very sad expressions on their faces.
One of them, a middle-aged bearded man, shouted, "Young man, you ...... Did you just wake up? ”
"Just woke up? What do you mean? Mu Li wondered.
"We all saw it just now, a white light flashed under the tree, and then you appeared. You must have come out of that tree of life, right? After the middle-aged uncle finished speaking, the woman next to him poked him with her elbow.
The woman said, "Don't mind, young man, my man is not very good at talking." You're from the real world, aren't you? ”
Mu Li said dumbfoundedly: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"This kid must have been frightened by what had happened suddenly. Hey, Johnson, the sheep are in your hands. I took this lad to the town's census office. ”
…………
In a quiet and peaceful town, people are busy with their own business. Women hug crying children, men carry goods, and occasionally people run back and forth on motorcycles. It's like a real-world town in the 90s.
Mu Li and a woman named Mo Li came to a small three-story house, and there were several big words written on the side of the door: 'Anhe Town Management Office'.
After Mo Li told the person in charge of registration about Mu Li, the staff of the entire management office rushed out, and more than a dozen people surrounded Mu Li, with the sad and curious expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong with everyone? What's wrong with me? Mu Li asked.
"Young man, you're really in the real world from today. I know you're confused about everything right now, but the reality is something you need to take your time to understand. A bald fat man wearing a black police uniform walked up to Mu Li, "Come with me, take you to know the truth of the world first." ”
Under everyone's gaze, Mu Li followed the bald fat man to a simple room on the third floor.
"I heard that there was a Tree of Life Guardian battle a few days ago, so you must have fallen from that tree, right?" The fat man sat down comfortably and said, "Don't be nervous, sit down, let's talk slowly." ”
"What tree of life?"
"It seems that you are not very conscious, did you live in a world with a lot of vegetative people before?"
Mu Li glared and asked, "You also know the real thing?" ”
"Isn't that weird? Everyone in the world knows! The fat man took out a cigarette and lit it, "Let me tell you this, in fact, the world you originally lived in is not reality, it is a dream fabricated by aliens." ”
Mu Li looked at the wafting smoke and was very surprised.
"Hehe, I know it's hard for you to accept. Now, look at these pictures. ”
The fat man handed a stack of photos to Mu Li.
The first photo shows a huge, leafy tree with many sparkling round fruits on it.
On the second page is a close-up of the fruit, and underneath the filmous rind is some strange liquid, and there seems to be something in it.
The third page shows that the skin of the fruit is cracked, and it should be ripe. However, instead of juice, a mixture of red plasma came out of the membrane, and a human head sticked out.
On the fourth page, the man who emerged from the fruit reaches out and pulls out the tentacles attached to the branches.
The fifth is a close-up of the big tree, which is not a natural tree, but a machine made of a special metal substance.
In the sixth photo, there is a panorama of a valley, where lightning is swimming in the dark clouds, and the valley is full of these trees, which seem to be full of 'fruit'.
…………
"Got it?" The bald fat man asked.
"It turns out that most of us humans are trapped in that 'fruit' and cannot escape......
"That's right, in fact, the real world has long been attacked by aliens, and humans have either been killed or controlled and captive by them. It's like taking some nutrients from the human body. Once someone wakes up, they are captured by the soldiers they are guarding there, and they are eaten at the end of the day. Of course, there were a lot of people who escaped......"
"Like you, after escaping...... Build your own urban home? Mu Li asked.
"Yes, only about 100 million people have been resurrected today, and the vast majority of the remaining ones are still being deceived by aliens in the trees, and a small part has been eaten."
