As the night grew darker, a dozen or so people sat on the floor tiredly. They were still looking at the shiny place not far away, curious and apprehensive in their hearts. I didn't even feel it on a cold night.

"Let's all eat something. The tree doesn't know when it will come back, and it doesn't know what will happen tomorrow. Zhong looked at everyone and said.

"Zhong, don't mention eating, when it comes to eating nausea."

"Worm, it's not the first time to watch a tree eat bugs, why do you still have a shadow in your heart."

"Watching him eat is different from eating himself, and who knows what we eat has also been mutated."

"Hu Lian, we eat fast food that does not exceed the expiration date."

"Ray, what we eat in the lava village is what lasts forever. Except for the fact that the tree eats meat, the two of us eat vegetarian food, and the rest is no different. Do you say food lasts forever? Zhen said with mixed feelings.

"Can't!" Several people said together.

"Jie, you check for the two of us, if it's going to mutate." The worm panicked.

"Calm down, only when you go back to the base will you have the equipment, are you uncomfortable?"

"No, just the feeling of nausea and wanting to vomit." Zhen said.

"Jie, I'm scared myself, I want to nibble on those shiny metal bugs. Even if you can't get by, you can eat some dirt. The worm whispered to Jie.

"Worm, you're hungry, eat some compressed food." Jie also whispered and handed the instant food to Worm and Zhen.

"Don't want to eat! The two of them hurriedly ducked a few steps away and retched. The movement here alarmed everyone.

"What's the matter, Shock, Worm, are you feeling unwell? Haven't you changed any organs, except for the bell here that is easy to get sick, our blood is not pure, and we generally don't get sick. ”

"Yes, aren't all the trees fine, even though their appearance has changed, and they are not sick."

"Trees? Don't mention him, gag..."Shocks and Worm retched farther away from the others, and both of them ran to the edge of the ring road.

"Shock, worm, what are you doing, it's not fun to fall." Zhong hurriedly shouted.

"Zhong, we're not going forward, we're not going to fall, we just want to smell here." Zhen shouted at the back.

"Zhong, it's not a good phenomenon, will the two of them also mutate?"

"Probably not, they look normal."

"It's not normal, I'm not talking about appearances, it's thinking. The kind of robot that was more than 100 years ago should be familiar to people who are engaged in geological research, but she didn't understand it very well. This only means that in the lava village, they have become sluggish to eat the food there. Rose said.

"Yes, the food there is not a few decades or even more years old, how can it not spoil." Ray added.

"Forever shelf life is simply not possible. The ring height is an example, although it is a feat, no one has ever come before, but it still cannot withstand the influence of external forces and cracks. The so-called permanence cannot escape the imprint of the times, and nothing remains the same. Zhong kept looking at Zhen and the worm and said in conclusion.

"Could it be that both of them will be mutated too? Jie, you are a person in this area, what do you say? ”

"I don't know, there's no instrument here, and there's no precedent to draw from. The tree has mutated, but it is still human, and it is not a terrible thing for them to mutate. Jie said helplessly, and then saw that the two people on the edge of the main road of the ring high had already fallen on the road, licking the almost non-existent dust on the road, although they couldn't see their expressions, but from the occasional humming sound could feel extreme satisfaction and enjoyment.

"Don't go over, it's over after you disturb them and fall down." Ray said calmly.

"But that's not always the way, what can be on the ring road, everything will be quickly broken down. If they are not satisfied, will they come back and eat us? ”

"Don't scare yourself, they're not going to be good." Jie said calmly, at this time, the two of them turned around, and smiled very strangely. A few people who were eating were stunned, what kind of smile, three points of satisfaction and seven points of annoyance, and there was a strong hatred in it. The two of them walked back and walked towards everyone. At this time, the moon was also obscured by a dark cloud, and the howl of trees could be heard in the distance... Whew...

The atmosphere was solemn, several people stood up, a gloom enveloped the ring, and a howl was getting closer and closer. Even the still shiny metal bug road a few meters away also wriggled sharply again. In the gray space, it seems to be a prelude to a stormy sea. And with all this coming, Zhen and Worm also completely changed their expressions, and that strange smile was replaced by deep eagerness.

"Delicious food!" He said indistinctly, and the person also jumped and walked over crookedly. It was not a straight line at all, so that the short distance was twisted by them. It also extends the time it takes to get here.

"Ray, help me, why did you forget about the robot." In a hurry, Rose called out urgently.

Rose and Ray stepped over to the robot in a few steps, and in an instant the milky white light turned into a red light, lighting up a patch of hope in the dark night. Zhen and the insect stopped in confusion, almost in front of everyone's eyes. The howling in the distance also stopped, and in a moment the Gongfu tree jumped back to the high road.

"What's the situation, why is it red again, are you afraid of me?" In the red light, the tree seemed to have been fished out of water, covered with a viscous liquid, releasing the smell of rot and fish, and some of the smell of metal rust. He grew a lot bigger, and stood in front of a few people, almost like a giant.

"Tree, it's not afraid of you, it's the two of them?" Several people pointed at Zhen and the insect together.

"They, what's wrong with them? Isn't it just as mutated as me? ”

"Tree, how many bugs have you eaten, can you digest it?"

"Yes, I don't feel sick anyway. I was full and happy, and when I got to the lava village, I inspected it again. There's also a food warehouse where we didn't go, and the contents are all in perpetual condition. The tree began to nag again. No one wanted to interrupt him, and they didn't dare to interrupt. In front of zombie people, humans are the weaker side.

"Tree, there's nothing to eat in the lava village, why are you going back there?"

"Lei Lao, you are confused, although there is nothing good to eat there, but there is a house there, it is better than us sleeping in the high ground and waiting for the big crack to repair itself. Moreover, the food store I found has not been destroyed at all, and everything there is still intact. It's been a long time, but it's better than starving to death without anything to eat. The tree said clearly and clearly.

"Tree, your idea is good, but who dares to eat those foods. You see, although Zhen and Worm didn't eat those old meat foods, they are now going to be mutated. Can they still have the same human mind as you, but only in appearance? Zhong also said honestly. Speaking of earthquakes and insects, the two of them looked at the tree back in confusion at this time, and the experience just now seemed to have been forgotten.

"Tree, I thought you weren't coming back, aren't those insects delicious?" The worm asked.

"yes, you should shake the ground and summon the worms when you're hungry, so who dares to be with you." Zhen also said.

"Stupid, isn't there still the light of these two robots? The bugs are afraid of this red light, and I will go far away in the future to call the bugs out and eat them. You can eat the food from the pantry, anyway, I suggest moving the base to the lava village. There are still tools, and there are robots that haven't been activated. The most important thing is that there is a lava house that can shelter from the wind and rain. ”

"Tree, your idea is good, now we have to go back to the base first, and everyone is discussing and researching." As a few people spoke, the light released by the two robots automatically changed from red to milky white. In the cold nights, the sun replaces the sun, and the warmth shines on people's bodies.

"It's so warm, no wonder we don't feel so cold. Trees, does this white light have no effect on you? Ray asked.

"Lei Lao, do you still regard me as an alien, except that my appearance is different from yours, my thinking has not changed from the original." The tree said helplessly.

"Tree, you can lure the bugs out, those bugs are our nightmare right now."

"Rose, among our people, you have the most knowledge, how do you know that these metal-like bugs are not another species on Earth right now, another species that depends on lava. Another creature that is still evolving, a species that will live in symbiosis with humans on Earth in the future. ”

"Tree, for now, my knowledge is in the past. You're right, these metal-like bugs are another species derived from ring heights. It is an existence that we do not yet understand, and your mutation is precisely to restrain their existence. Rose said, her point of view echoed by everyone.

"Rose, you said you, I and the worm have not been mutated." Zhen said aggrievedly. That look is no different from a little girl's coquettishness.

"Zhen, why are you talking so awkwardly, oh, forgot, you were originally a woman."

"Worm, you are sexist, what's wrong with women, where are they worse than you men."

"Zhen, when we return to the base, we must ask Joan and them to help us check it well, so that we won't mutate."

"Worm ————" Zhen and Worm, the two people who were still gnawing and eating dust just now, were arguing like two children, and no one else had the right to intervene.
