Ma Lin and Fang Fu saw the big Bodhi tree for the first time, Ma Lin lifted his glasses, and looked at the big tree in front of him towering into the sky like a sharp sword. The trunk of the tree was no longer discernible thick, and it was like a thick wall in front of it, and it had been nailed to it a staircase. And Zeng Tianqi Su Xiaoyu and Ba Zhuo were also shocked, and in the past month, a village suddenly appeared in the Big Tree Valley.

Judging from the costumes, they are all natives of the plateau like Bazhuo, and they built wooden houses on the lowest branches of tree towers, and all the primitive grass and wood houses were built of dry trees and grass. On the thickest branch, there is a larger wooden house. Lu Yan pointed to the room and said, "That's the village chief's house." ”

Someone in the distance suddenly shouted, "Who are you?" I saw Lu Yan next to me again, "Xiao Lu, who are they?" ”

Only then did everyone see that a thin-eyed man with dark eyes came over with a bundle of tiny tree roots on his back. He looked vigilantly at Zeng Tianqi and the others, who were dressed differently from them. Especially the hard crossbow that Zeng Tian abandoned Su Xiaoyu's back. There are also the steel guns on the unconscious Ge Lianchen and Zhang Erdan.

Lu Yan hurriedly explained to this man: "Brother Li, I met them in the mountain pass, these two soldiers were injured, and they wanted to see the village chief to find a place for them to treat their companions. ”

"Where did you flee from? The people we fled here are all nearby villagers, and you don't look like people from the neighborhood. ”

"That's right," Su Xiaoyu interjected: "It turned out that it was me and Brother Tianqi, we came here to travel and Bazhuo escaped from Naples... This is Marin... The... Su Xiaoyu gave a general introduction. Except for the battles along the way and the affairs of the research institute, I basically told the truth.

After hearing this, this 'Brother Li' turned his head and said to Lu Yan: "You go and put your things down, and I'll take them to the village chief." But.. Brother Li turned his head to Zeng Tian and abandoned them again, "Your weapons can't be brought in, please leave them to me for you to keep for you." ”

"Well, Brother Li, I'll go." Lu Yan turned around and was about to leave, but was called by Zeng Tianqi, who handed over the weapons and firearms of Ge Lianchen and Zhang Erdan to Lu Yan and asked her to keep them for the time being.

Brother Li was a little surprised, Zeng Tian abandoned them and handed over the weapon to Lu Yan, which was just an accident. He didn't care. Or turn your head and lead the way to the tree.

Everyone followed this 'Brother Li' along the stairs nailed by logs to climb the big tree, a week after the catastrophe, Zeng Tianqi and the three of them were trapped here, they were actually very familiar with this tree, only to see that the trunk that was as thick as one person before, has now become the thickness of several people hugging, and then separated the branches, and the wooden houses built on it are still very stable. Zeng Tianqi saw that there were still a few people on the branches not far away who were busy laying logs and laying foundations, and were building new wooden houses. At least I didn't think of building a house in a tree in the first place.

The group came to the village chief's house. Everyone saw this so-called village chief, who was a fair-looking middle-aged man. After 'Brother Li' whispered in the village chief's ear for a while, the village chief glanced at everyone and hurriedly stretched out his hand to Zeng Tianqi enthusiastically.

"Welcome to the friends of the coming troops. It doesn't matter if the troops are separated, settle down here first. Everyone is a survivor and everyone comes here to help each other. I don't know who this is? The village chief is dressed in a plateau costume, and there is a sharp contrast with the sincerity on the white skin.

The village chief's name: Qian Feng, a speculative businessman who travels south and north. When the disaster struck, he happened to be buying mountain goods in a nearby village. The local cowards here are famous specialties, and Qian Feng made a fortune by reselling specialties and dry goods from all over the world, and merchants saw profits. He was staying in the town of Naple at the time of the cataclysm, and during those three days his keen observation made him feel the spread of this massive madness.

He brought his subordinate 'Brother Li' - that's right, his surname is Brother Li, and his name is Brother Li. The two decisively ran out of Naple overnight and found a sparsely populated village to settle down. Secretly vigilant, in a week's time, he witnessed the whole process of normal people gradually turning into crazy corpses. From panic to numbness and fleeing, after more than ten days of tossing and turning, he took Brother Li and some other survivors, with his keen observation of words and feelings, he avoided the fate of many sudden attacks by mutated people, causing more and more people to get used to following him, and his prestige was also getting higher and higher among these fleeing people. In this way, he and Brother Li took a group of people around and around and came to this valley.

Among the people who traveled with me were many farmers and mountain people who had built their homes from scratch, and they were good at integrating into the ecological environment to survive in places where there was nothing. Under the spontaneous action of many people, they built temporary wooden houses on the trees. As scattered people gathered because of this big tree, there were more and more people in this village, and what was even more strange was that after they lived in this village, there was no such thing as a normal person suddenly turning into a crazy corpse. Some superstitious people take it for granted that this is the sanctuary of the tree god. After a chance election, Qian Feng became the village head, and under Qian Feng's management, all the people began to gradually find the kind of life before the end of the world, and everyone regarded this village as their new home.

Qian Feng due to the mind of the previous businessman, he allocated and distributed everyone, the women and children were responsible for collecting food, and the men were responsible for building the house, but in a few days, the dozens of people in the same company were managed in an orderly manner, and the village chief here was seated without any suspense. In addition, there was no food when they came here at the beginning, and after he and Brother Li lied to a few people to eat the buds of the Bodhi tree, and then there was no poisoning and discomfort, they relied on the huge food source of the big Bodhi tree to really settle down.

Zeng Tianqi shook hands with Qian Feng, "We escaped from a research institute on the plateau, two mercenaries were injured, and we relied on the two of them to take care of them along the way, and now we are also desperate to go to the village chief, hoping to give a place to settle down." "Of course, we have hands and feet, we can work and we can support ourselves." Zeng Tianqi immediately added.

"Oh oh, welcome, welcome, don't have to be outside. The people who came here are almost the same as you, who is not desperate to come here. Qian Feng shook hands with them one by one very kindly.

"Village Chief Qian, two of us have been seriously injured, please hurry up and arrange a place for them to be treated. I'm afraid that if I delay, I won't be able to save people. Zeng Tianqi let go of Qian Feng.

Qian Feng hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes. . That Brother Li, you quickly find a room for them and settle the two wounded for a while. Qian Feng hurriedly said to Brother Li.

Brother Li went in response, Zeng Tianqi and Ma Lin followed the two of them and prepared to go out, Qian Feng asked while sending them off, "I don't know how many big names there are." "Zeng Tianqi is quite normal, but he is really a little worried about the strange-looking hunchback Fang Fu.

"Zeng Tianqi, this is my sister Su Xiaoyu, my younger brother Ba Zhuo, and two colleagues: Ma Lin and Fang Fu. The two injured in the car were soldiers, Ge Lianchen and Zhang Erdan. As for Fang Fu, don't worry, we have come all the way and have been paying attention, there is nothing wrong with him. Zeng Tianqi knew Qian Feng's concerns.

Coming out of the village chief's house, the group followed Brother Li on the thick trunk of the tree, and they also took the opportunity to take a good look at the village on the tree, there were not many people on the trunk, and in the cover of the horizontal and vertical branches and leaves, many wooden houses were exposed dotted, many people were either on the trunk, or under the roots, or in the small puddles in the distance, busy collecting or selecting smaller branches and roots to build birdcage-like houses. These huts are large and small, and they stretch one after another to the branches of the trees on the ground floor.

Not far from the tree, in the gap between the roots of the tree, they built some fences and made an improvised gate. It's kind of carved out of territory. Zeng Tianqi looked at it, the valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and now it is not much to see, crisscrossing the roots of the trees filling the entire valley, and these exposed roots on the ground are just a drop in the bucket, Zeng Tianqi even believes that with the current size of the big Bodhi tree, it may be the territory of the big Bodhi tree within a radius of ten or thousands of meters nearby.

Everyone carried Ge Lianchen and Zhang Erdan into the wooden house, Zeng Tianqi quickly climbed to the higher trunk, and quietly collected some young shoots with golden-green borders, in fact, Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu noticed when Zeng Tianqi and they left, not all Bodhi leaves are the same, the leaves grown by this Bodhi tree are varied in shape and color, from dark green to light blue, with stripes, borders, and spots. Zeng Tianqi chose the leaves that he had picked out with his intuition when they were trapped in the valley.

The juice was then filtered out by the filter that Marin had given him, and it was quickly processed with a hand-cranked centrifuge. The two were unconscious and couldn't swallow, so Marin had an idea, took a syringe, and directly injected the clear juice that had been filtered and then roughly refined with a hand-cranked centrifuge. Zeng Tianqi looked at Ma Lin speechlessly, this guy is really at his home field now, and he actually started to use two people for human experiments. This is the first time that the injection has happened, and they have taken it before, and they don't know if it will go wrong.

After dealing with the two unconscious people, Zeng Tianqi walked out of the wooden house, looked up at the big trees and valleys like the giant towers that reached the sky, looked at such a village born because of the big Bodhi tree, and had a thought in his heart. This is the place where he was reborn, and this is also the place where he went around and returned in the plateau, and he formed a wonderful bond with this valley and this tree. And now, a Qian Feng has developed him into a habitable village.

After stealing the news from God's Gate, he has been looking at the future of humanity with pessimism and despair. But today, everything seemed to have cleared the fog in his heart, looking at the busy figures under the trees and in the valley, looking at this glimmer of peace derived from despair. Zeng Tianqi suddenly laughed at himself and felt that his heart was still too fragile. It's better than these people who don't understand anything and just bury their heads in hard work.

In this apocalypse, perhaps this tree village is one of the few options that can be developed into a settlement, and it is also a refuge that may allow more people to find peace and tranquility in the future.
