Chapter 265: Guards
It is a well-known national first-class protected forest, and one of the large trees inside is famous all over the world. In order to prevent illegal logging, there are several checkpoints and many pairs of rangers patrolling the mountains.
Even so, the number of trees that are stolen here continues unabated every year, especially the precious mahogany, and the state is eager to send a class of people to guard each tree.
Lin Xu and the others came from the cliff area, so they naturally avoided the checkpoint, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to enter the forest.
Looking at the many towering trees inside, Lin Xu was also quite happy in his heart, how could someone want to destroy such a beautiful landscape. However, when he thought that he would destroy a tree by taking the eggs himself, he felt ashamed of himself. Isn't everyone who comes here with a set of rhetoric?
"So many big trees. Which one has the eggs in it? Zong Rong kept taking pictures with her camera, she would not miss such an opportunity to come in here.
"Since it was struck by lightning many times, it must be in the highest place. Moreover, there should also be traces of being struck by lightning. Lin Xu said.
Zong Rong retorted: "Who said that the point that was struck by lightning was on the top of the mountain." There is a place abroad where things in the canyon are hit, but nothing is on the top of the mountain. There seems to be such a place in our country, but I don't know exactly what it is, maybe it's here. ”
Lin Xu smiled, and could only agree with her statement. She has read more books than herself, has seen more than herself, and has been in contact with the kind of people who travel all over the world.
The important thing is that it doesn't make any sense to argue with her now. Even if he wins the argument in the end, this is not something to be happy about, and making his own woman unhappy is not the result he wants to pursue.
Looking at the big trees here, Lin Xu also had the same idea as Zong Rong, could there be many trees with eggs in them, after all, the trees in them are thousands of years old.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a few sounds similar to the bolt being pulled, and Lin Xu hurriedly pulled Zong Rong into his arms. You don't have to ask to know that they collided with the rangers.
Due to the fact that there have been several violent illegal logging here, and some forest rangers have been killed, and later the relevant state departments have specially approved that forest rangers can be equipped with guns during inspections.
Sure enough, four or five people came out of Green, all of them holding guns in their hands, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at Lin Xu and Zong Rong.
This was expected, but Lin Xu was not surprised. Turning his head to look behind him, he found that the alien had suddenly disappeared, and knew that it was hiding invisibly.
"Let's hope it doesn't attack these people." Lin Xu thought silently in his heart.
"Don't move. What are you two people? ”
"We're here for sightseeing." Zong Rong began to lie, and raised the camera in his hand.
Lin Xu sighed in her heart, how could she not even lie. That's how the devil believes. In particular, she also showed the camera to others, isn't this a death?
Although they don't have any cutting tools in their hands, it is entirely possible that they are here to find a target, and after determining the target, they will come directly to cut it, which is what many targeted poachers often do.
"Give me the camera." The man with the gun said very seriously.
"Give it to him." Lin Xu lowered his head and said to Zong Rong.
Pouted, Zong Rong still handed over the camera impatiently. The man asked the people around him to take the camera, and with a wave of his hand, everyone moved quickly, forming an encirclement of Lin Xu and them.
"What's the deal with so many pictures of old trees in your camera? Are these trees your goal? Hmph, I've seen ambitious people, but I've never seen you so rampant. "After looking at the big trees that Zong Rong photographed, they naturally thought that these were the targets to be stolen.
"We're really here for sightseeing, so naturally we're going to take some pictures." Zong Rong said.
"Is there a permit?"
"Nope." Zong Rong shook her head, she was honest at this time.
"None? Hum! The man snorted and said, "Come with us." We'll find out what you're trying to do. With me, you want to cut down a tree here. ”
"We're not here to cut down trees." Zong Rong hurriedly said.
But where did they pay attention, and pointed their guns at them, and let them obediently follow, so that the guns would not go off.
But at this moment, Lin Xu suddenly heard a bang, and a bright light immediately shot down from the tree.
"Be careful!" Lin Xu shouted and pushed the person in front of him away.
With a bang, the light blasted a hole in the ground. Immediately afterwards, the second light shot down again, and Lin Xu shouted again, pushing his gaze away again.
"Stop it." Lin Xu shouted loudly towards Zong Rong. But before he finished speaking, there was a bump behind his back, and he felt a burning pain in his shoulder, and blood gurgled out.
It turned out that a forest ranger misunderstood Lin Xu, thinking that he was going to do something to others at the same time, so he fired a shot.
It was also the first time he shot an adult, and when he saw Lin Xu being hit at this time, he was also trembling with fright, and he didn't know what to do.
"Don't shoot." The team leader-looking person who was pushed by Lin Xu was also taken aback when he saw that his team members really shot. He knew that it was Lin Xu who saved him just now.
Seeing that Lin Xu was injured, Zong Rong was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly ran towards him. But at this moment, there was another swish on the tree, and a white light shot out, accurately hitting the person who shot Lin Xu.
The man's chest was immediately punched with a bloody hole, and before he could close his eyes, he fell to the ground and lost his life.
"Tell him to stop." Lin Xu pressed the wound with one hand, and pushed Zong Rong with the other.
Zong Rong stroked his forehead to calm himself down, and waved his hands loudly towards the tree, shouting not to attack.
When she called, the alien in the tree really stopped attacking, but he still didn't show up, and he didn't know where he was hiding.
"Brother, are you alright? Who is in the tree? The person who was rescued by Lin Xu was also shocked.
"I'm fine." Lin Xu bared his teeth as he spoke, and the feeling of being shot by a gun was really uncomfortable.
"Lin Xu, how are you?" Zong Rong also pounced, helped Lin Xu, looked at his back, his eyes widened with fright, and he looked distressed.
"I'm fine." Lin Xu smiled hard at her and said, "Don't let it shoot." ”
Lin Xu understood that that guy and the angel cat he met in Longtou Mountain before were the same virtue, and he liked Zong Rong abnormally, so he didn't attack them before. Seeing that Zong Rong was in danger at this time, he decisively launched an attack.
Even the aliens are fascinated, you can imagine how beautiful this chick is. can get such a woman as a girlfriend, Lin Xu is naturally embarrassed in his heart.
"It's all like this, and I said it's okay, how can I stop the bleeding." Zong Rong raised her hand, wanting to hold down the wound but didn't dare, for fear of hurting Lin Xu.
"It's really fine." Lin Xu sat up as he spoke, and at the same time took out a pill and ate it, and secretly lucked that the blood from the wound on his back was really not so exaggerated.
The rangers also rushed to help him, took off his shirt and gave him a simple treatment. At the same time, others moved their dead colleagues over.
Speaking of what the invisible guy was in the tree, Lin Xu could only tell the truth that he was a guy who seemed to be an alien when he met in the forest, and as for whether it was really an alien, he also said that he didn't know.
"I apologize for the death of your colleague." Lin Xu said quietly.
The rangers didn't speak, and the partner who got along day and night suddenly died, and no one was in a bad mood. What's more, it was an invisible guy who killed him, even if Lin Xu lied to them, there was no way to do it.
If it weren't for Lin Xu, the thing on the tree would have stopped attacking at this moment, and they would have at least three dead.
After that, Lin Xu explained to them his intention and told them about the New Power Gymnasium.
"The animal bite incident at the New Power Stadium is a terrorist incident? Is it a zombie virus? The three rangers were so surprised that their jaws dropped, a little incredulous.
They also watch the news and only know that there have been animal bites, and they don't know anything else. Now when I hear Lin Xu say this, I am not surprised.
"I really don't need to lie to you. We came this time to find the ancient tree and get the eggs in it to save our lives. Lin Xu said very sincerely, and his eyes were also very sincere.
"I know where that tree is. It has been identified as the oldest tree in the world, and its location has never been revealed. There's a soldier in charge of protecting the tree, and I'll take you there. The team leader said.
As soon as he said this, Lin Xu and the president glanced at each other and said that they were very excited, so it would be the best.
"You guys bring Xiao Zhang back. Don't make a fuss about what's going on. When the time comes, I will talk about it after the organization has deliberated. The team leader said.
The other three all nodded. If you really say that Xiao Zhang was killed by aliens, it would be good to be sent to psychiatric evaluation.
"Let it come down and follow us. Don't be elusive. Lin Xu said to Zong Rong.
Zong Rong nodded, gestured towards the tree, and shouted to let it come down.
After shouting for a while, Dongdong really suddenly appeared in front of them, and several rangers were frightened to take a step back.
Now it is still fully armed, and it looks very vigilant, seeing that everyone doesn't have it for it, so it puts away its weapons and reveals its cute face.
This time, the rangers were even more shocked, is this an alien? It's amazing. The equipment on his body actually shrank so freely.
After watching it for a while, the team leader asked the other three to go back with Xiao Zhang's corpse, and not to say anything about seeing aliens, and not to anyone. He himself took Lin Xu and them to the ancient tree.
Although Lin Xu was shot, he acted as if he was fine. He used the Qi of Neidan to protect the wound, but at this moment he only felt some pain that was not serious, and he didn't feel anything. As for the matter of taking out the bullet, Ziru had to wait for Yunle who returned, and he couldn't take out the dagger and let Zong Rong and them take it out alive.
Along the way, the team leader was very interested in telling Lin Xu and them the story. Speaking of the ancient trees here, he counted them like treasures, and even named them.
Lin Xu and Zong Rong admired and admired in addition to admiration. Far from the city, they have been in this forest for decades, and these trees are like their children, and they have feelings.
Lin Xu sighed in his heart, illegal logging was indeed too hateful, and for his own selfishness, he actually damaged these precious things.
"That's it ahead. But there is still a long way to go. You can arrive before the sun sets. The team leader said.
