Chapter 266: Horror Inside the Tree Cave
Lin Xu followed his fingers and saw that there was indeed a large canyon in front of him, and it was a sea of green in the past. The place where they are now located is on high ground, and they can see the tops of the trees in front of them at will, which is truly spectacular.
When Zong Rong saw this scene, she naturally hurried to capture it, which was much better than sitting on a helicopter for aerial photography.
As the sun set, they made it through the Grand Canyon. On the way, I encountered a lot of patrols, but someone led the way, so naturally there was a lot less trouble.
In order not to cause panic among the other forest rangers, Zong Rong made Dongdong stealth and moved in the trees. This is exactly what it wants, and it prefers the feeling of leaping on the double rather than walking on the ground, and it is silent.
When you pass through the canyon, it looks gloomy and gloomy, indicating that it is going to rain at dusk. The team leader said that this place is basically like this, and the sun can only be seen at noon, and it can be illuminated for more than two hours.
So it's very humid in it, and it's very uncomfortable to walk in. Zong Rong had already felt uncomfortable, if it weren't for Lin Xu being shot, she was trying to let Lin Xu carry her on her back.
It was not easy to pass through the canyon, and Lin Xu knew that the ancient tree was not in the canyon, but it was not on the top of the mountain, but in the middle of the mountain.
"Stop!" When they were about to approach the ancient tree, a group of people rushed out again, blocking Lin Xu's way.
"Team Zhu, it's me!"
"Captain Yao, how did you get here? Who are these people? The man known as Captain Zhu put away the gun and motioned for the others to put it away as well.
Captain Yao hurriedly handed a cigarette to Captain Zhu and a few others, which explained that he had brought Lin Xu here, and he didn't say anything about a colleague being shot before.
"The tree eggs conceived by absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon? Little brother, haven't you read too many novels? I've been guarding this tree for half my life, and I've seen it struck by lightning many times, but I've never heard of any eggs in it. Captain Zhu spit out the smoke ring and looked at Lin Xu with a puzzled expression.
Lin Xu smiled faintly and said, "It's recorded in the book. I didn't know what a residual leaf fruit was, but I found it. Saving people is like fighting fire, I hope Captain Zhu can do it. As he spoke, he escaped from the remnants of the leaf fruit and showed them it.
Captain Zhu looked at the dark red mulberry fruit-like thing and said, "This is the residual leaf fruit that you said is guarded by hundreds of poisons?" It doesn't look like a miracle. ”
Lin Xu just smiled and didn't explain too much, because for the Residual Leaf Fruit, he also knew the name of this thing, and the others could be said to be completely unknown.
"You said that the animal bite incident in the New Power Stadium was actually a terrorist attack, and people were infected with the zombie virus? Are there really zombies? Captain Zhu asked.
"The zombie virus is just a figurative statement, what is actually called, the name is too long, I can't remember clearly. But it's true. Lin Xu said.
After looking at Lin Xu suspiciously for a while, Captain Zhu suddenly turned to the others and said, "What do you think?" ”
Several people glanced at each other, and they couldn't come up with any suggestions, let Captain Zhu decide for himself, they must follow the order.
Captain Zhu grinned, took another puff of his cigarette, looked up and asked: "Since the National Security Bureau and the army are involved in this matter, if you want to come here, you should have special materials and documents, and you shouldn't come empty-handed. ”
"Because I escaped from there. It's just going on in secret now, and if they find out, don't say they don't believe in this antidote, I'm probably going to be quarantined. Lin Xu said.
When everyone heard that Lin Xu had escaped from the gymnasium, they couldn't help but stay away from him. Although Captain Zhu himself took a step back, he couldn't help but scold a few times when he saw that the team members around him were all scared.
"Well, I choose to trust you. Brother, how do you take tree eggs? If you're going to dismember a tree, forgive me for not agreeing. This is a world-class ancient tree, and I can't let it be destroyed in my hands. Captain Zhu thought twice and made such a decision.
Lin Xu was also relieved when he saw that he was willing to let go, and hurriedly said, "Captain Zhu is serious. Naturally, I wouldn't have knocked down the whole tree. In the account, he was hollow, and there were even two tables in it, and the eggs were inside, and I just had to go in and find it. ”
Captain Zhu took a few more puffs of his cigarette and said, "The ancient tree is indeed hollow, and there are still various animals living in it, and we haven't disturbed them. I don't know if there's really any eggs in there. Since the situation is urgent, I won't say much, let's go! ”
"Thank you, Captain Zhu. All patients will appreciate you. Zong Rong hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Captain Zhu looked at Zong Rong, smiled, and said, "Little girl, you don't have to put a high hat on me like this." I haven't seen my daughter in a long time, and I will be your age in two years. ”
A group of people chatted and walked towards the middle of the mountain. Crossing a small hill, a big tree suddenly appeared in front of it, and there was only one tree in the surrounding dozens of meters. Everywhere else is densely packed with big trees, and here it is the only one, which is really a spectacle.
And this tree also grows strangely, the branches are circling, the trunk is so thick that it really takes more than ten people to hold it, and the roots on the ground are also criss-crossed, dazzling to see.
"This is the oldest tree in the world. It's a privilege to guard it. Captain Zhu said quietly.
"Wow, this is the oldest tree, it does look different, even a branch grows very unique." Zong Rong held the camera and kept shooting.
Captain Zhu didn't stop her, but said: "Little girl, it's okay for you to take a picture of yourself, but you must not post the photo on the Internet, otherwise you will be in trouble, I will be in trouble, and this tree will also be in trouble." ”
Zong Rong shook his head and said that he would never let others know that he had been here. This is a place of secrecy, let others know that she has been here, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself, maybe from now on the reporters of the geography magazine will chase her, and people who want to steal this tree are more likely to use her as a breakthrough.
Zong Rong was taking pictures, but Lin Xu was looking for Captain Zhu to study how to get into the inside of the tree. Captain Zhu told him that there was a hole in the height of the tree that could accommodate a person to get into, but the position was more than 20 meters away. If the whole tree was really hollow, it would be very dangerous to go inside, because they didn't know what was going on inside.
"I'll be careful. Captain Zhu, do you have any lighting things? Lin Xu asked.
Captain Zhu nodded, and asked people to go to the camp tent and get a flashlight for Lin Xu. This is a powerful lighting flashlight, which is used when patrolling the mountains, and everything can be seen clearly from a hundred meters away.
In their words, at night there are birds resting in the trees, and as soon as the flashlight shines, the birds fall. This is not an exaggeration, human eyes are dizzy when they are illuminated, let alone birds.
"How else can we help you?" Captain Zhu asked.
"Thank you, Captain Zhu, but I'll just go in alone." Lin Xu said.
Captain Zhu nodded and said, "Then brother, be careful yourself." Notify us immediately of something.
Lin Xu snorted, took the flashlight and climbed up the tree. Zong Rong also stopped taking pictures, clasped her hands in front of her chest, looked at Lin Xu very nervously, and kept silently saying that she was careful.
Originally, with Lin Xu's current ability, it would be okay to really fall from a height of twenty meters, so there was no need to worry at all, but now that he still had a bullet in his body, how could Zong Rong not worry.
Seeing that he was about to reach the tree hole, Lin Xu was excited, grabbed a piece of bark with his hand, and rubbed it up violently. But the bark broke, and his feet hung in the air, and he immediately fell.
Just about to scream, his hand was grabbed by something, and at a glance, it turned out to be an alien.
"Hey, I almost forgot about you. You're positive, and you're running up first. Lin Xu laughed. This guy has been invisible, and his subordinate Captain Zhu and his gang haven't seen it yet.
Squatting at the mouth of the tree hole, Lin Xu lifted the flashlight and shone it inside, and with a poof, a brown and yellow thing flew out of it, spread its wings, and glided into the distance.
It's not a bird, it looks a bit like a weasel, but it can glide through the air, and it lives in a cave.
Not long after "flying", I saw that the alien raised his hand, and an electric light shot out, and with a snort, the thing fell from the sky.
"You" Lin Xu could only sigh, seeing that it was also frightened by that thing, he was not convinced, so he killed the person.
Captain Zhu and the others had been watching the animal go in and out of the tree hole for many years, and they had never thought about shooting it, but they were actually shot down from the sky at this moment, and they were angry and surprised.
"Brother? What's wrong? Captain Zhu asked loudly below.
"It's okay." Lin Xu hurriedly said that he naturally wouldn't say that it was an alien who shot the animal.
"Are you alright?" Captain Zhu muttered and couldn't help frowning, and turned his gaze to Zong Rong, as if to say to her, and as if to say to the other team members: "That flying squirrel has been stationed here for many years, and it was actually shot down today." What the hell is going on? ”
When he was like this, he was obviously questioning whether Lin Xu was carrying a firearm or something, but even worse, although he heard a little noise, it was not a gunshot.
"It should be fine!" Zong Rong smiled lightly at Captain Zhu. She knew in her heart that it was an alien ghost. I had been worried about Lin Xu before, but now that I learned that the aliens were with him, I was a lot more relieved, at least I had a care.
Captain Yao also understood that it was the aliens who had shot his comrades before who shot the animal, even if there was fire in his heart, but there was nothing to be done, he couldn't fight with the aliens, as far as their current equipment was concerned, they were no opponents at all, and the important thing was not to see it.
Although Captain Zhu had doubts in his heart, he did not delve into it. After all, Lin Xu went up with his bare hands, as long as he didn't destroy the ancient tree, and even if he wanted to, he didn't have that ability.
Lin Xu naturally heard the conversation below in the tree, and whispered to the alien: "Don't shoot anything here anymore?" Got it? ”
The alien just hummed, not knowing if it understood or not.
"It's really playing the piano to the cow." Lin Xu couldn't help but mutter, and then added: "Of course, you are much more magical than a cow, maybe in your opinion, we are cows." ”
He took the flashlight and shone it into the tree hole, and his head poked into it, and a foul smell suddenly came to his nose, which was the result of the accumulation and fermentation of the dung of various birds and beasts together, and almost choked him.
