Chapter 362: The Giant Tree

If this planet is a gift from high-dimensional human civilization to human civilization, although it makes sense logically, Pang Xuelin always feels that something is wrong.

For example, why did Murphy suddenly disappear?

Why is the photo she sent back, whether it is the terrain or the surrounding environment, completely different from what she observed through satellites?

But if there are intelligent civilizations on this planet, where are they?

Why did you drive a shuttle and circle the planet, and you couldn't find any traces of the existence of intelligent civilization.

……

All kinds of questions kept lingering in Pang Xuelin's mind.

Before you know it, the shuttle lands at the coordinate point where Murphy disappeared.

It's a vast forest, and the grasslands and lakes that Murphy sends back in the photograph are completely invisible.

Pang Xuelin pondered for a moment and said, "Tars, land." ”

The shuttle fell silently through the layers of foliage.

Above 50 meters above the ground, it is basically a world of trees, and below 50 meters, there are countless shrubs and various exotic flowers and plants that Pang Xuelin has never seen.

Long vines spread upwards along the branches of the giant tree, like dandelions the size of human faces, drifting away with the wind, and clumps of shrubs tens of meters high grew everywhere, and weeds were everywhere.

Beneath the giant tree, there are all kinds of magical creatures.

An insect the size of a human head landed on the bud of a huge flower like a basin, and the petals of the flower suddenly folded away, taking the insect in.

A python ran down the trunk of a tree and was about to open its mouth and swallow a squirrel.

Behind it, a golden eagle suddenly arrived, and its claws instantly pierced the skull of the giant python.

……

Through the porthole, Pang Xuelin saw a world full of all kinds of magical creatures.

The shuttle landed on the ground silently, and half an hour later, Pang Xuelin was dressed and got out of the shuttle.

Stepping on the ground, Pang Xuelin began to slowly explore the surrounding environment.

The gravitational acceleration of Planet 5 is not high, and Pang Xuelin's body has been genetically strengthened, so ordinary creatures do not pose a threat to Pang Xuelin at all.

Even if there really are creatures that can't be competed with human beings, such as the creature in front of you with a head and shoulders as high as four meters, like a wild bull, it is a matter of lasers.

Tas followed Pang Xuelin, assuming the duties of guard and assistant.

After taking a turn around and making sure that the surrounding environment was not threatening, Pang Xuelin began to drive an all-terrain vehicle to explore the forest within a radius of several thousand meters.

It wasn't until two hours later that Pang Xuelin checked all the areas within a five-kilometer radius, and still found no trace of Murphy's existence.

"Captain Pang, could it be that Murphy sent back the wrong landing site?"

Tas, who was on the side, asked curiously.

Pang Xuelin shook his head and said, "Tars, did you notice that this place is a little strange just now?" ”

"Strange, what's wrong?"

Tas was a little puzzled.

Pang Xuelin said: "It stands to reason that such a primeval jungle that no one has ever entered should have accumulated a thick layer of humus on the surface, but when we came in just now, the soil on the surface was very fresh, and there were no dead branches and leaves, as if it had just been cleaned up." ”

"Captain Pang, you mean, Planet Five exists, an enemy we don't know about."

Pang Xuelin shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I always have a bad premonition, as if something has been observing me, but just now I searched for a long time, and I didn't find the existence of unknown creatures." ”

You must know that after genetic modification, Pang Xuelin's sense of touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing has been greatly enhanced.

But just now, Pang Xuelin could feel the existence of this peeping, but he couldn't find where this peeping came from.

Tass said, "Captain Pang, if it doesn't work, let's leave from here." ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Okay, start the spaceship's anti-gravity system immediately." ”

At this moment, only a "boom" was heard, and the ground suddenly shook.

Pang Xuelin was startled, and hurriedly approached the porthole, and saw that the giant trees seemed to be alive, shaking violently.

The ground was shaking violently.

"Tass, go!"

Pang Xuelin said.

Although it is not known what happened, it is certainly not a good thing.

The whole body of the shuttle shook slightly, the landing gear was retracted, and it began to gradually climb upward, but it only rose to a few tens of meters, and Pang Xuelin felt that the huge trees around him were like stretched fingers, and they pressed down towards the shuttle one by one.

"Butas, the engine starts at full power."

Pang Xuelin said loudly.

However, it is useless at all, because the shuttle itself is equipped with an anti-gravity system, so NASA only installed small Hall thrusters on the shuttle, and even if it flies at full power, the total thrust is only a dozen tons.

These giant trees, which are tens of meters in diameter, are pressed down one by one, and the shuttle cannot break them at all.

Tass held out for less than a minute before he said loudly, "Captain Pang can't hold on." ”

Whoop -

The giant tree was completely crushed.

The shuttle couldn't withstand this oppressive force at all, and fell to the ground in an instant.

Pang Xuelin looked through the porthole and saw that a hole like a giant mouth appeared on the ground below the porthole, completely swallowing the shuttle.

In the next second, Pang Xuelin only felt that he couldn't feel anything as soon as it was dark in front of him.

……

Pang Xuelin seemed to have had a long, long, long dream.

In his dream, he saw a towering tree rooted in a desolate terrestrial planet.

With the passage of time, under the nourishment of this giant tree, the terrestrial planets gradually have an atmosphere, precipitation, plants and trees, and various creatures that depend on all of them.

On this planet, every plant and tree is a branch of this giant tree.

The giant tree roots itself in the depths of the planet, and its roots spread across the globe.

This planet has become the carrier of the giant tree, and it has become the new home of the giant tree after countless years of wandering.

Until one day, the huge yellow dwarf star in the galaxy suddenly flashed and turned into a red giant star, and its volume increased by many times.

This time, the yellow dwarf engulfed the three closest planets.

The terrestrial planet where the giant tree is located, with the protection of the giant tree, barely escaped from this catastrophe.

But the Giant Tree knew it couldn't survive the galaxy anymore.

Countless years of wandering have taught it that the red giant star is only a short journey of the star, and its final destination is a white dwarf star that cannot give it any nourishment.
