Qing Dai sat quietly in the cage, watching Zhao Xufei and Lin Xinran push the platform and take themselves out of the huge room, the corridor outside the door still had no windows, only dim lighting, it was obviously some basement, and the ventilation equipment was still whining. When he entered the elevator, Zhao Xufei entered a few password-like letters, and the car went down again. Qing Dai is estimated by experience to be at least as deep as 30 floors.

When the elevator doors open again, the outside environment changes to a different style, and it is clear that the layout here is much more advanced from the material to the design, and at a glance it looks like the set of various science fiction films, bright and rhythmic.

And when he got here, Zhao Xufei opened the big iron cage that bound Qing Dai, made an elegant gesture, and motioned for Qing Dai to come down. Then he used the key to open her hand and anklet. Qing Dai didn't have much joy, but her heart sank slightly, so that her actions were no longer restricted, which meant that she was not afraid of running away, and she was not afraid of the underground, I am afraid that it was a secret base that belonged to him, and it was not impossible to fly with wings.

However, if you come to it, you will be safe, Qingdai is not a person who likes to seek troubles, too many things after the change of the sky, in fact, it has completely sharpened her heart, so that there is not much pressure at the moment of life and death, there is really not much pressure at all, just be single, just be a long insight.

Zhao Xufei is obviously very satisfied with Qing Dai's calmness, a cooperative goddess of luck is what he needs, crying is not difficult to solve, but it is also a waste of time and effort, as long as he can achieve the goal he wants, other means and secret inner thoughts have never been put in his eyes.

This underground space is also a research room. However, there were far fewer people than the noisy situation of the Academy of Sciences, and the three of them walked through several corridors. It's just a mistake with three or five people, and the conversation is almost nothing. The people who want to come here are not ordinary, and their cold temperament is not lost to Zhao Xufei.

Finally, they came to a very chic metal sliding door, Zhao Xufei pressed the fingerprint lock, the door panel opened automatically, and the scene inside instantly stunned Qing Dai.

Inside the door is an extremely large space, almost as tall and spacious as a high-end sports stadium, and it must not be a problem to accommodate two football fields. But this is not a place for Qing Dai to be in a daze, but in the middle of this space. It is an extremely tall and vigorous giant tree, the main trunk of the tree is about fifty or sixty meters in diameter, and the canopy is even more obscuring the sky and the sun, occupying half of the dome of the entire space. Its roots are deeply embedded in the red earth at the bottom, and the slightest hint of it is strong and powerful.

If you extrapolate according to the common situation, this should be considered a thousand-year-old tree.

But Qing Dai didn't have the joy of seeing plants at all, even if it clearly exuded the familiar fragrance of plants and trees, but the whole space was still wafting with a faint smell of blood and rancidity, and various smells were mixed together. It's dizzy and disgusting.

Looking at Zhao Xufei's appearance, it seemed that he was showing off and inviting, Qingdai frowned and walked into the space, and the door at the back was closed.

The entrance is in a half-empty position throughout the space. It is simply formed into an outward terrace, and the dome is illuminated with many lights, if it were not for the encounter along the way. Qing Dai really wants to misunderstand that this is a natural and wonderful scene in a deep valley.

Walking to the outermost railing, Qing Dai took a closer look around the situation next to the big tree. Trying to find out that subtle abnormality. Soon, the red dirt at the base of the tree caught her eye. Those reds squirm! She gathered her sight to make a closer look, and then almost vomited.

That's right, those red points are clearly the flesh and blood of living creatures, and they are still living beings that have not yet died, and some of the distinguishable limbs tremble slightly, which makes people feel creepy.

After the change of weather, Qing Dai admits that she has seen enough cruelty and blood, but she still feels sad about the loss of life, let alone such an almost abusive scene. Didn't really vomit, it's really thanks to eating too little before, there is no content to vomit.

Closing her eyes and holding her breath for a moment, Qing Dai tried to calm herself down, and then observed what happened, the smell of blood has come from, so where does the rancid smell of zombies come from?

Soon, those churning reds gave Qing Dai the answer, and in the original bright red, a gray-black object suddenly popped out, and pounced into another pair of more intense reds, and then was immediately entangled by the roots below, dragged down fiercely, and quickly disappeared. The little bit of gray and black that the gray-black object just left behind slowly melts away in the red, dyeing more of the red black. In this way, the red turns black and is dragged into the ground, and the red "dirt" becomes less and less. As if discovering this situation, a large machine in the corner of the space slowly started over, and then opened the iron box with a bang, pouring out a lot of red flesh like an excavator, allowing the "ground" to return to its original height.

Qing Dai finally couldn't stand it anymore, she clenched her fists, turned around suddenly, and asked Zhao Xufei, "What are you doing here?" Raising mutant plants? There are so many zombies, why did you choose such a cruel way? Is there a human being in there? ”

Zhao Xufei was obsessively watching the scenes in front of him, as if he was watching a beautiful performance, intoxicated and excited. Hearing Qing Dai's inquiry, he was a little strange: "Don't you know, the life form that has just been infected by the zombie virus is the most delicious and energetic for the corpse-eating plants." They are blessed to be a ...... of great power"

Qing Dai couldn't bear it, she was about to slap Zhao Xufei a few steps forward, she had never been so angry since she could remember, what did this person look like in her heart? What else is there to respect other than himself and the so-called research?

At this time, Lin Xinran, who had never spoken or moved, moved happily, pulled Zhao Xufei away from Qing Dai's attack range, and stood in front of Zhao Xufei again, making a posture of guard.

Qing Daida just recognized Lin Xinran and didn't look at her anymore, but now she stared at Lin Xinran, wanting to see what this woman looked like, how could the strong girl who was in the same boat at the beginning become an accomplice of Zhao Xufei and others, that unhurried and unhurried. And when did it disappear?

But she didn't see anything, Lin Xinran was still cold and beautiful. As if he was still in the base camp, he was as calm as he was, and he didn't have the slightest special reaction to Qing Dai's eyes.

It's during this time. The foot of the tree was replenished with flesh again, and the smell of rancid and bloody was a little stronger.

Qingdai gritted her teeth and said to Zhao Xufei: "What are you going to do?" Raising such a big man, aren't you afraid of accidents? ”

Zhao Xufei saw that Qing Dai didn't mean to attack him again, and walked out behind Lin Xinran very elegantly, hooked his lips and smiled: "What, are you willing to listen to my plan?" "It's like a child, mocking Qing Dai who dozed off during his explanation.

Qing Dai was not in the mood to joke, and pursed her lips to acquiesce.

Zhao Xufei said proudly: "I said before that zombie creatures are like HIV on the earth. The normal survival system is destroyed, and the ghoul plant has the same ability as white blood cells and is purified. But this is only my previous research, and the rejection of zombie viruses is very strict, and I can't find a way for them to work together. It wasn't until later that I came across this plant, which was used to deal with zombies, and it actually allowed my equipment to detect brain waves, and it had a very strong ability to reproduce. Trees, of course, in nature. Unless it is a fire and thunderbolt, it is basically a family with a long life, but it will also enter the aging period at about the same time, but this is different. It doesn't even have any senescent cells. ”

"Do you know what that means? It is not a white blood cell, but a cancer cell, which can survive and reproduce indefinitely! That's where I finally got inspiration. The zombie virus is just an intermediary product, the ultimate invincible creature. It's the genes of a ghouli-eating plant! As long as you have it, then you can become a legendary immortal. Longevity knows no bounds. ”

Qing Dai was really frightened by this series of analysis, a good senior intellectual is worried about immortality or something, is he really an authority on life research? It is precisely because of the cycle of life and death, and the cycle of withering and glory that this nature can truly live and grow, and if it is not old and immortal, it is a terrible hell.

However, the word "brain wave" said by Zhao Xufei finally reminded Qing Dai of something. She turned around and grabbed the railing, then unleashed her abilities with all her might, focusing all her attention on the big tree hundreds of meters away, and shouted loudly in her heart: "Hello, hello! Can you hear me? ”

Zhao Xufei and Lin Xinran didn't know what Qing Dai was doing, thinking that she was just afraid of being nervous or curious, but there was nothing to stop her, Zhao Xufei was even happier, he felt that Qing Dai might have been moved, who didn't want to live a long and healthy life when they were living well, and those powerful people who heard that zombies could crack the code of life were not turned around by themselves? As long as you grasp the ** in people's hearts, everything is simple.

Qing Dai was still calling, although she had tried this way of communication many times when she was cultivating plants in winter, but she was not sure if she could do it at such a long distance, and now the situation, she could only try.

"Hello, can you hear me?"

Qingdai felt a little dizzy, after all, she had been hungry for a few days, and she was frightened, and her physical strength was not at her peak.

“…… Who? A hoarse voice appeared in Qing Dai's head.

Qingdai was very happy, she could still do something, and continued in her mind: "Don't you eat any more, okay?" Many of the zombies you eat are zombie creatures that you are forced to become, and the more you eat, the more normal creatures you will die. ”

“…… Eat! The voice was cold and firm, and it didn't seem to understand what Qing Dai meant.

"You've eaten a lot, and when you're big, you're going to be dissected by humans, and I'm afraid it's going to be very miserable." Qingdai was a little entangled, afraid that the other party would not understand the analysis, so he changed a threatening advice, this big tree continues to eat, it will really become a slice, Zhao Xufei raised it not to be benevolent, but to better squeeze its value.

And this sentence seemed to anger the big tree, it was no longer a word and a word, and the roar actually set off infrasound waves in the space, making some small things fly. And what reverberated in Qing Dai's brain was: "...... I eat...... Don't be eaten...... Don't be eaten! ”

Qing Dai felt that her head was stunned for a while, and she insisted on not wanting to give up: "You don't want to be eaten, if you really continue to eat, you will be eaten!" ”

“…… Don't be eaten...... We don't want to be eaten...... We...... Eat! The voice was still roaring, but it was a little lower than before, as if it didn't have enough strength. However, Qing Dai felt uneasy in her heart, although this big tree had been shouting a few words, it seemed to be full of blood and tears, soaked in unwillingness, and it seemed to have nothing to do with her threats and intimidation. If I had to describe it accurately, it was a hatred from ancient times.

Don't be eaten! This is the cry of life, and human beings are shouting after the change of the sky, so what about the cry of the big tree?

Yes, this is the unwillingness at the bottom of the food chain, it represents the plants, they don't want to be the silent objects of being eaten, they want to become the top lifeforms! That's the idea of a plant that already has intelligence!

Qing Dai stiffly looked at the big tree in front of him as if it was enraged, it was no longer willing to wait for the flesh to be infected by the zombie virus to feed, and its strong roots drilled out of the ground, stirring up zombie creatures, infecting more lifeforms, and then frantically absorbing it. Even a root system the thickness of an adult's thigh stretched out towards the iron box where the flesh was stored, trying to turn the reserve into a fresh "meal".

Zhao Xufei also realized that something was wrong, he looked at the mutated tree, and asked behind Qing Dai, "What's wrong?" The monitoring instrument found a very strong brain wave, could it be you......"

Qing Dai was reminded by Zhao Xufei's voice, turned around and said eagerly: "You hurry up and suppress it, you have a way to control it here, right?" Hurry up, don't let it expand further, when it can't be satisfied here, it will go out to forage, I'm afraid it's even more terrifying than the zombie tide! "If it reverses more plants, then humans are really dangerous, plants are not only the lower end of the food chain in nature, but also an important part of the associated with other organisms, no matter who wants to get out of this cycle, it is ruined, much more terrible than the zombie virus!

Zhao Xufei's eyes lit up: "Can you ...... Communicate with it? Were you talking to it just now? "The IQ is not a joke, at first it was with some temptation to let Qingdai take a look at the situation, thinking that maybe I could get the opportunity to cooperate, but I didn't expect to see such a magical scene, and I got such a surprise before and after! Indigo's ability is not only special, but also a bridge to biological brainwaves! Such a treasure is destined to belong to him!

Qingdai listened to Zhao Xufei's words, and couldn't help but be frightened in her heart, the more she was exposed, the more dangerous her situation became. But let her just let the plants that have begun to take shape go crazy and lead to irreparable tragedy, she can't do it.

While he was hesitating, the dome and walls of the entire space began to vibrate, and the walls thickened by layers of cement and alloy began to tear! (To be continued......)
