Chapter 029: My Recklessness
Looking at my face in disbelief, Zhao Jinfu said: "In other words, it is very likely that this big tree Rhododendron King has now evolved into a breeding tool for these underground giant ant eggs. ”
The fact that the tree has become a breeding tool for ants and that these two different species can also change their characteristics from each other sounds like a fantasy in itself. However, now that the radioactivity of a special substance has changed their genetic transformation, and the two have coexisted for a long time, it may be possible.
This area has been extinct for I don't know how many years, in the long historical process, there are enough time conditions for ecological transformation, and nature is a huge organism, in fact, the so-called transformation is also a kind of evolution. Human beings can evolve into the most intelligent creatures in the biological world today through hundreds of millions of years, not to mention living plants and trees!
Originally, I had a lot of questions to ask Zhao Jinfu at the beginning of what he said, but when he finished speaking, I couldn't ask a single question.
The knowledge about biological evolution and reproduction is too deep, I don't understand it at all, Zhao Jinfu is to let go of bold speculation, and these speculations are based on the existing evidence and reality, I dare not say that Zhao Jinfu is right for a while, but I can't prove that he is wrong.
This world is too big and amazing, and there are many mysteries that human beings can't explain, and in a mysterious and special region, it's too normal for anything unexpected to happen, and it can't be said that it violates science, but we don't know and don't understand.
At this time, Zhao Jinfu saw that I didn't say a word, so he turned around and walked to Zheng Xiaocheng. Zheng Xiaocheng was already squatting on the ground, but when he saw Zhao Jin helping him over, he raised his head and looked at him with very complicated eyes. And Zhao Jinfu just stared at him, although he didn't speak, but the momentum was as if he had seen everything.
"Tell me, was it a coincidence that you first came here?" Zhao Jinfu suddenly spoke: "Where are all your companions?" ”
Zheng Xiaocheng's originally gloomy face suddenly changed color, his eyes flashing with dark eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Zhao Jinfu with a look of disbelief, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say it, but soon he lowered his head nervously, and there was an obvious disappointment.
At this time, Zhao Jinfu did not ask persecutively, but slowly squatted down and maintained eye level with Zheng Xiaocheng. After waiting for a while, Zhao Jinfu said: "Actually, you should also understand that we will never give up if we don't figure out what is going on here." Even if you don't say it, we know that the situation here is very special and has an element of supernatural science. We'll take you away and we'll send experts to investigate, and I'm sure they'll find out in a little time. And you! The purpose of not saying anything is just to protect the secret, because you have a fluke mentality about it as your own. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this possibility basically no longer exists, is there any point in you still being so stubborn? ”
Zheng Xiaocheng's face distorted, and the corners of his mouth twitched back and forth a few times, but in the end he still didn't say anything.
I'm a little impatient, this guy is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and plans to go all the way to the end of the stubborn road to the dark. I think that this kind of extreme person is a dead end as long as he falls into the hands of the law, and the two lives on his hands alone are enough to shoot him several times. At this time, it is difficult for him to repent and ascend to the sky, and I am afraid that this secret he has is the only place where he is still useful, otherwise who will waste time and do ideological work on him here.
I don't think Zheng Xiaocheng still wants to rely on the secret he knows to negotiate terms with us, and I made him completely break this idea today. Anyway, Zhao Jinfu's analysis just now is already very clear, the secret is actually hidden in the tree, doesn't he say it, can't we really find it?
At this time, I triggered a revenge psychology that forced Zheng Xiaocheng to a dead end, and I thought to myself: "Instead of waiting for Lao Zhao to play Tai Chi with him and play psychological warfare, it is better for me to expose him in person." At that time, he wanted to change his life by secret, and he didn't think about it. With that in mind, I pulled the sapper shovel out from behind my back.
Zhao Jinfu was still inducing Zheng Xiaocheng, but the other party's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he couldn't speak. So I suddenly said to Zheng Xiaocheng: "You'd rather die and refuse to confess, right?" I'm telling you, let yourself say that it's giving you a chance, and when our patience runs out, you can't say what you want to say. Besides, we have already figured out what is in your heart, isn't it just that there is something hidden in the tree, I will split this tree now and dig out the secrets inside, and see what you have to say then! ”
After I finished speaking, I felt that my blood was surging, and Zheng Xiaocheng's stubborn face made me even more angry, and I suddenly picked up the sapper shovel and cut it at the big tree.
"Stop!" "Don't touch it!" Zhao Jinfu and Zheng Xiaocheng shouted almost at the same time, their voices full of anxiety and panic.
But it was too late, and my sapper shovel chopped into the tree with a "click" under the strength of my whole body, and it actually fell into half of the shovel. Although my strength is not small, the sapper shovel is a blunt weapon after all, and I am also surprised that it can be inserted directly into the trunk of a tree so much.
There was a rustling sound of leaves shaking from the trees, and it was so dense that I couldn't see it when I looked up, but it sounded like branches and leaves trembling. There is no wind here, and there is no possibility of the wind blowing. I was startled, and suddenly I felt like the tree had been cut down by my shovel.
Zheng Xiaocheng's face suddenly turned to ashes, and his body trembled and shouted: "It's over, it's all over, what I'm most worried about is finally going to happen." ”
Zhao Jinfu glared at me with a dazed face, and shouted at me angrily: "What the are you nervous? Things haven't been figured out yet, why are you so nonsense? At the same time, he happened to hear Zheng Xiaocheng's words, and turned around and asked him eagerly: "What did you say?" What's your biggest fear? ”
Zheng Xiaocheng ignored Zhao Jinfu's question, and instead yelled at me: "You idiot, do you know that you killed us all?" This tree is the mother of red fire ants, and you're in trouble! ”
I hit Zheng Xiaocheng angrily at me, and I shot back at him and said, "What a mess, why am I in trouble?" Isn't it just a shovel, what's the big deal? You don't give me alarmists there! ”
At this time, Zhao Jin couldn't care about the quarrel between me and Zheng Xiaocheng, he grabbed Zheng Xiaocheng's collar and shouted urgently: "What the hell is going on?" You made it clear. ”
The rustle in the trees was getting louder and louder, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, could it be that my recklessness had really caused some trouble?
In a weak heart, I pulled back violently, pulled out the sapper shovel inserted in the tree, and then a fishy red liquid splashed out along the gap cut by the sapper shovel, almost spraying directly on my body, I hurriedly covered my nose and jumped away.
The breathtaking rustling sound was already intense, and the red liquid didn't look like blood, because it wasn't as viscous as blood, but the stench was so bad that the soldiers around them could smell it, and a few of them retched a few times.
Under Zhao Jinfu's questioning, the nervous Zheng Xiaocheng couldn't care about it, and he said to Zhao Jinfu in fear: "This tree has replaced the status of the queen ant, and your people have injured it now, what do you say?" ”
Zhao Jinfu's face changed greatly, Sun Ji on the side was already as pale as earth, and he said to Zhao Jinfu with a trembling voice: "Leader, let's, let's run!" ”
A disturbing agitation affected everyone present, and the soldiers subconsciously pulled the bolt of their guns and formed a defensive circle to protect us in the middle.
I don't know how much of this red liquid was in the tree, and it didn't exhaust when it sprayed, and the ground was already wet. I was closest to the tree at this time, and I felt a slight tremor under my feet, as if the roots of the tree buried deep in the ground were beginning to tremble.
Looks like I'm really in trouble!
Suddenly, there was a "whoosh", and a stream of water suddenly fell from the tree, which happened to fall on Sun Ji's shoulder, and half of his body was wet, Sun Ji jumped to the side with a scream, and wiped it down with his hand, sticky like egg white.
Then the sticky liquid fell everywhere, and Zheng Xiaocheng said with a white face: "The ant eggs are starting to burst, and our disaster is coming!" ”
If you stay here, I am afraid that you will face the same encounter as a team of soldiers, Zhao Jinfu immediately ordered to retreat immediately, no matter what, run out of this anthill first.
The fighters were well-trained, and even in such a tense atmosphere, they still lined up before setting off. Two warriors escorted Zheng Xiaocheng, one soldier supported Sun Ji, whose legs were already weak, a sturdy warrior carried Liu Chengtao, who was still unconscious, to his shoulders, and the others opened their weapons and ran quickly towards the way we came from, as for the corpses of Gao Dong and those warriors, he couldn't care about it at this time.
A terrible scream rose to the sky, like a ghost crying wolf, and my heart trembled when I heard it, and my whole body trembled.
"Is this tree still screaming?" Sun Ji was frightened and didn't forget to look back.
All of this was actually caused by me, and I was extremely annoyed and regretful, and I didn't dare to look at Zhao Jinfu and those soldiers.
I ran forward with everyone, and suddenly felt some shaking under my feet, I thought it was an illusion, but Zhao Jinfu also glanced at the ground at this time, and I realized that it was not an illusion, but something moving underground.
Oops! The giant eggs have also been affected, and I'm afraid they're about to wake up from their dormant state.
Zhao Jinfu shouted: "Hurry up!" Don't stop! "Everyone ran forward like crazy. Zheng Xiaocheng originally let the soldiers drag, but now he also gave birth to a survival instinct, and he began to run forward desperately.
As the tactical spotlights in our hands and overhead swayed back and forth, I could faintly see a myriad of bumps appear on the ground around me. I broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, "The ant colony is going to get out of the ground, get out of the bulging area." ”
It's like a horse farm in the prairie, once the horses are frightened and run wildly, anything that stands in their way will be knocked over and trampled under their hooves. It's the same with the ant colony here, if I hurt their mothers, they will definitely provoke them to attack the attacker in a frenzy, and I can't guarantee that the cell body of the South American fruit fly in my pocket will still work against them. Seeing Zheng Xiaocheng running so hard, it is estimated that he may not be able to tell.
Thankfully, the signal that was maddening the colony was spreading from the giant tree, and we ran all the way down to the front, but we didn't encounter an ant colony that burrowed out of the ground. As for the back, we don't need to look at it, it must be a wave of red fire ants rushing towards us. So we can only run, we must not stop.
