The sky is gradually brightening, the fog in the distance is still rolling, and the sun is already sprinkled around the king Bodhi. The valley of Tree Village was scorched, full of green smoke and scorched stench, and some of the bare roots of the trees in the valley were also charred. There weren't many corpses on the ground, some were skulls or non-flammable parts of the ends of the hands and feet. Instead, the shooting corpses were scattered around the area, stuck in the cracks of the trees.

The mad corpse could not withstand the strong ultraviolet rays and retreated into the mist, and there was a large bonfire at the mouth of the valley that had not been extinguished. Qian Feng and Brother Li saw the miraculous effect of the flames on the mad corpses, and they decided to burn a bonfire at the mouth of the valley all year round, and they built a huge half-man tall hearth out of stones and earth. Keep the ashes and charcoal fire in it. At night, they start adding firewood to help the fire.

"I've heard that that's how primitive people kept fire." Qian Feng crossed his waist and watched Brother Li lead the villagers busy. They were indeed exhausted by a night of firewood and fire, but for the first time in history, their homes survived with no casualties. The crowd barely felt sleepy, and they were still immersed in the excitement of fighting off the mad corpses. The garrison's firepower had changed shifts four times, and they had blocked the wild corpses that had climbed through the roots of the trees.

Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu didn't close their eyes overnight, but this level was really nothing to them. The Blackwater Battalion had already forged their iron will. Ma Lin and Fang Fu came to the scene after dawn and were busy collecting samples from various corpses. But while the samples were being taken, Marin noticed something startling.

"Brother Zeng, come and see, this is amazing." Ma Lin called Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu over and pointed to a tree root.

There was a mad corpse that had been shot in the head, stuck in the crevices that crisscrossed the roots of the trees. However, the mad corpse had begun to dry up, and Marin carefully cut open the skin of the mad corpse clinging to the roots, revealing many tiny roots.

"The corpse is being digested and absorbed by the tree... Marlin lifted his glasses, "This is the property of insectivorous plants. The tree has abilities that I didn't even notice. ”

Zeng Tianqi squatted down and looked at the body of the mad corpse carefully, and sure enough, at the point of contact, there were many roots sticking out of the small tissues and piercing into the body of the mad corpse. And these places are all places where the blood of the mad corpses is splattered without exception.

At this time, there was a hot shout: "Brother Zeng, the village chief is looking for you." ”

Zeng Tianqi heard the shout, turned his head and saw Ba Zhuo and Lu Yan running towards him. He got up and asked, "What is the village chief looking for me?" ”

"I don't know, but it seems that the head of the regiment was also in the village chief's house yesterday." Lu Yan said.

Zeng Tianqi likes Lu Yan very much, his understanding of Shucun started with Lu Yan, this Lu Yan can't hide things psychologically, and will always talk to him about some gossip.

"Oh, then please go and tell the village chief, I'll be there shortly. Little Bazhuo, you go and help Marlin collect their samples. ”

"Yes, then I'll go." Lu Yan replied, but she was curious about what Ma Lin and Fang Fu were doing there.

After Lu Yan left, Su Xiaoyu said beside her, "Brother, guess what they told you to do?" ”

"What can you do?" Zeng Tianqi smiled, "It's just to talk about heart-to-heart confession." ”

Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu slowly walked towards the tree village, where Situ Nan was sitting in a precarious position, and the standard sitting posture like all the soldiers made it impossible to find any fault. Qian Feng was chatting with him ramblingly.

"There are many people in Situ Nan, of course they want to take advantage of it, wherever the four hundred people go, they are a strength that cannot be underestimated, of course Situ Nan has a thick neck." Zeng Tianqi chatted with Su Xiaoyu as he walked, "And."

Qian Feng, at this time, he must be playing haha with him and chatting about gossip. He needs to borrow strength, and if the power is not equal when negotiating, then the result will be very uncomfortable. He's a businessman, and of course he does. ”

"Lu Yan has already spread the word about us to everyone in Shucun, which is a good thing." Su Xiaoyu said, "Brother, do you want to be the main one next?" ”

"The dog once said that I am not suitable to be a hero... Zeng Tianqi shook his head disapplauded.

"How? Village Chief Qian, there are almost 500 of our 400 people plus the survivors who joined temporarily, and there are less than 100 people in Shucun. In the future, this place will be managed by our 426th Regiment. You and your dozens of people are engaged in logistics, and we military and civilians are of the same heart, and we can make this place a shelter like an iron bucket. Situ Nan said to Qian Feng in a very sincere tone and expression.

"It's easy to say, it's just the head of Situ, and I'm just the village chief recommended by everyone. I don't have the authority to ask them what to do. They're poor people, and when we first fled here, hey. Most of them have no family ... Now what kind of militarized management is Commander Situ going to do, how can these mud legs accept this? Qian Feng lowered his head and didn't look at Situ Nan, his eyes were glancing towards the door. At this time, Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu came in. Qian Feng immediately stood up to greet him, "Mr. Zeng is here, please take a seat." What wind is blowing you? ”

This old boy pretending to be confused and playing innocent is not ambiguous at all. Su Xiaoyu pursed his mouth.

"Village Chief Qian, the expulsion has come to an end for the time being, and I just wanted to come and discuss the next matter with Village Chief Qian." Zeng Tianqi also opened his eyes and said nonsense and did not make drafts.

Qian Feng's heart was relieved, the last thing he wanted to see was Zeng Tian abandoned and said recklessly: Didn't you call me here?

Then today's game is very embarrassing. He hurriedly shook Zeng Tianqi's hand: "Mr. Zeng is really a coincidence, I and Head Situ are about to discuss this matter." He leaned to the side and stretched out his hand to lead him.

Situ Nan's heart jumped when Zeng Tianqi came in, and said in his heart: "The old boy fought with me for a long time, haha, just to move the rescuers, right?" There was no ambiguity at the moment, and he stood up and hurriedly stretched out his hand.

"Mr. Zeng's battle to pick up a giant mutant corpse is really breathtaking. Solved a big trouble for our group, it was really late to hate each other, and Mr. Zeng's actions can afford the word 'hero'. I would like to thank Mr. Zeng in advance. He carefully looked at Zeng Tianqi. I saw a square face with sword eyebrows, a thick and neat short beard on his chin, and his eyes were bright and exuding incomparable confidence. Situ Nan was amazed, what a righteous young man. He is an old man, and he has read countless people, at least in his eyes, there are really not many young people who can look at him, but this one in front of him is definitely an exception.

"Hehe, Head Situ is in good spirits, just cleaned up those mutant corpses, and came to clean up Village Chief Qian again?" Zeng Tianqi was not moved by Situ Nan's rainbow fart at all.

Situ Nan's face froze, and then he laughed awkwardly twice. "Brother Zeng laughed."

Zeng Tianqi didn't say anything and sat down by himself, "Commander Situ, what about me, I used to be a soldier in the Blackwater Battalion, and if I don't have any other skills, I can do a fight, kill and kill." It's the end of the world, and there is no place for me, but fortunately, I was taken in by the head of the village of Qian, and now I am a person in a tree village. ”

Situ Nan raised his eyebrows, "Brother Zeng said this." If you're Diaomin, then what are we? In terms of military ranks, we seem to be at the same level, right? We also want to develop for a long time, isn't it because we have a lot of people to help? ”

"At this time, we came to Tree Village, it is really providential, Tree Village has a perfect ecology, plus our garrison, it is very likely to become a large shelter in the future. At that time, Mr. Zeng's family and friends will also have a place to live, and with Mr. Zeng's strength, he is not a well-known pillar wherever he goes. Situ Nan did not give up and fought for Zeng Tianqi.

Zeng Tianqi pondered, and Qian Feng looked at Zeng Tianqi.

Zeng Tianqi touched his chin and said, "Head Situ, I think you are thinking about it, everyone is a survivor and has fallen here." Actually, you, me, Village Chief Qian. We don't make a difference. Your four hundred men are four hundred in wartime, and four hundred mouths in your spare time. The amount of food and materials consumed every day is massive, you say Captain Situ, how will you eat those four hundred mouths in the next few days? ”

Situ Nan opened his mouth, and swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth.

Zeng Tianqi continued: "Village Chief Qian has been developing in Shucun for some days, I think since everyone wants to become bigger, you four hundred strong laborers are good at working, and everyone who joins Shucun will engage in production and fill their stomachs before saying anything else." Even if it's a defense, we can arrange a temporary handful of sentry posts as a guard. Seeing that winter is coming, the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero, and I don't know how many people can survive it. It's better to save more surplus food and supplies now, maybe we will survive this winter first. Everything else is just floating clouds. What do you think? Village Chief Qian? ”

Qian Feng watched Zeng Tianqi force Situ Nan so "brazenly", and he was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say. Good guy, he was reckless as soon as he came up, and it was really Zeng Tianqi's style. can only echo: "It's good, it's good." ”

Zeng Tianqi suddenly laughed, and he told a story: "This tree, I call him: Emperor Bodhi, was grown from a seed given to me by Little Ba Zhuo. At the beginning of the catastrophe, we spent about half a month here, so if we want to say that we came first and then came, we were actually the first 'aborigines'. But let's not talk about this, first of all, the current needs of Head Situ are nothing more than a place to live, but the tree village is so big, and I am afraid that there will not be enough resources in this place. In addition, in the past, only a few villagers lived here on the resources of the big trees. Now we want to develop, then civil construction, production fortifications, these things are the foundation. And, in the future, as the population grows, we may have to expand beyond the valley. ”

"However, Commander Situ must not forget one thing: the ammunition of your troops is not renewable. At least in the vicinity, you won't be able to find an arsenal to manufacture or reload ammunition, and there are often mutants out there. You can do it for two months a month, but what about a year? What do you want your soldiers to do to stop these mutants? Speaking of this, Situ Nan's face finally changed, and what Zeng Tianqi said was his weakness.

Others don't know, he knows, the 426th regiment has less than 50 bullets per person. His 426th regiment ran out of ammunition, and his soldiers could really only fight the mad corpses with wooden sticks. However, they are not perverted like Zeng Tianqi, even the giant elephant corpse can beat the sky with bare hands. Of course, Zeng Tianqi will not be vain, he is a pragmatist, he can solve problems in a simple way, why use such an inefficient method as twists and turns?

Zeng Tianqi continued, "And Village Chief Qian, if the head of Situ helped block the mutant corpse in the early stage, what can you do with the dozens of people plus the survivors brought by the head of Situ?" It's nothing more than continuing the current life, at most helping Captain Situ repair the fortifications. However, on the day when Commander Situ ran out of ammunition, I estimated that a few hundred people in the Tree Village would be wiped out with this strength tonight. Therefore, we can only wait for the tree village to be breached and eliminated. ”

Situ Nan and Qian Feng, including Brother Li, their faces were constantly changing, and they were already completely following Zeng Tianqi's train of thought. This is what Zeng Tianqi wants to see, in fact, there are many ways to go for the development of Tree Village, but that is not the result he wants. He forcibly directed the people's thoughts to his line of thought.

At this time, Situ Nan spoke: "Mr. Zeng, according to what you say, is it actually meaningless for us to build this shelter?" ”

"How could it not make sense?" Zeng Tianqi walked out of the house and looked up at the unattainable Emperor Bodhi. "We hold the secret of human evolution in our hands."
