Chapter 81: The Divine Tree Sprouts
Niger, in the heart of the Bilma Desert, is the secret base of the Damien "Oasis".
In less than three months, the area has changed dramatically, starting with the expansion of the lake formed by the condensation of water vapor, which was previously the size of two football fields, and now has expanded five times to look more like a real lake.
There is an island in the middle of the lake, and there is a big tree growing on the island in the middle of the lake, which is only five or six stories high, and it looks no different from an ordinary tree that has grown for decades, but if you look closely, you will find that a few green vines hang down from the branches of the big tree, and the vines are wrapped in several huge green packages under the tree like hunting spiders wrapping around the silk of their prey.
If you look at it with your vision, you can see that a steady stream of life force is extracted from the vine wrap and fed into the trunk of the tree, which becomes the fertilizer that nourishes the growth of the tree.
On one side of the oasis are large transport aircraft airfields with reinforced ground and high sand walls, and planes are constantly landing in the gap between the sandstorms, and laborers are constantly carrying supplies from the transport planes and into underground warehouses.
On the other side of the oasis, a huge pyramid has been built, and God knows where the builders have carved countless huge granite stones in the middle of this endless desert and piled them up like building blocks into a towering pyramid.
The airport, the pyramids, and the oases are just a few of the features that can be seen from the surface of the Damien base, and under the cover of a hundred meters of sand beneath the pyramid lies a vast underground space made of rocks, dirt, and vines that reinforce the earth, and the underground space is made up of countless corridors and underground halls, like a labyrinthine dungeon.
Although the dungeon is only outlined, and has not yet been meticulously built and decorated, it has begun to take shape, and at least millions of people live in it.
The engineering construction technology of the DC universe is the same as that in the Marvel universe, and it is also a long-term illness, which is countless times more efficient and faster than the real world, and almost any national engineering team can be comparable to the Huaxia national engineering team in the real world.
No way, in this hellish world, there are superheroes smashing buildings every day to play, if the construction speed of the engineering team is not a little faster, the speed of construction can't keep up with the speed of demolition, so sooner or later all mankind will have to live in the open ruins.
In a biochemical laboratory inside the pyramid, Damian and Poison Ivy are watching the data on the computer screen, which shows the growth of the "Experiment Body".
"She's beautiful, isn't she?"
Poison ivy looked through the glass window at the sacred tree in the middle of the oasis and muttered, "I have never seen a plant with such vigorous vitality, her bioelectric fluctuations are more active than animals, I seem to feel her saying in my ear: Mom, I'm hungry......"
"Mmmm......" Damian pursed his lips, reading the data on the computer screen, and pondered, "It seems that we can start the next stage of testing, increase the amount of feeding the sacred tree, and see if it will grow faster when it is full." β
Hearing this, the poison ivy woman's eyes lit up and said in surprise: "Great, I can't wait!" Feed the useless laborers to my lovely children. β
"No, no, no......"
Damian shook his head and said: "As a last resort, we can't do bad things against humanity, secretly trading with the Nigerien authorities to deal some death row prisoners as D-class personnel are already suspected of stepping on the line, mass slaughter of laborers, aren't you afraid that Superman will suddenly fly over and burn the sacred tree as an evil tree with heat rays?" β
The Poison Ivy Girl lived like a poor mother who watched her own daughter starve but could not do anything, and said with teary eyes: "However, if she does not need to be fed by a living person, she must not be able to eat, we have tested, even a bull that looks much stronger than a human being, and the vitality provided to the sacred tree is far inferior to that of a thin human addict who is dying!" β
"That's a real problem." Damian smacked his mouth like a toothache and said in distress: "I originally thought that the Divine Tree could grow quickly by absorbing creatures with strong enough vitality, but now it seems that it is only limited to intelligent creatures. β
He pondered: "That's right, in my memory, the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy will produce chakra, the energy of the strong bull's body is very strong, but because he has no spiritual intelligence, the spiritual energy is very weak, and the chakra produced is rare, and it is not even as good as a human with weak physical energy." β
"So, boss, let's quietly feed the Nigerien laborers to the sacred tree, as long as you give the Niger authorities enough money to create a fake earthquake, and say that they died in the earthquake!"
The Poison Ivy Girl did not hesitate to sell her hue in order to raise the sacred tree, and transformed into a fourteen-year-old girl form, and her whole person was attached to Damian's body, and the vine shoots growing all over her body tightly entangled him, with a posture of dedication on the spot as long as he agreed.
Damian pushed her away in disgust, saying, "Get out of here, don't touch me with your dirty branches, my clothes are stained with your stinking green juice!" I've vetoed this risky proposal, stop talking nonsense with me! β
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the poison ivy girl who fell to the ground, but the venom that sounded her own was ineffective against him, and the plants under her control would not attack him, so she could only endure this evil breath with hatred.
"I have other plans for how to feed the sacred tree."
Damian said: "If it goes well, we can even feed the Divine Tree on a large scale reasonably and legally, and feed it to millions of people at a time!" β
"Millions?"
The poison ivy girl, who was still showing the expression of a resentful woman, suddenly widened her eyes and said excitedly, "Really? What are you going to do, do you want to stage a coup d'Γ©tat in Niger to seize power and become king, and then feed all the Nigeriens to the sacred tree? β
Damian shook his head, took out the nanomolecular mask mask from the multi-function kit and put it on his face, disguised himself into a handsome little guy with big eyes and a pointed chin, Bredrow, pressed a few times on the computer control interface, and dialed someone's video call.
The video call was connected, and an obese middle-aged black woman appeared on the computer screen, and the middle-aged black woman said impatiently, "Bredero...... Sir, your foundation has certainly given me a lot of support for my campaign, and the policy lobbyists you have hired are also active among members of Congress, but that's not a reason for you to make a random private phone call to an important official in Congress, and I'm really busy, you know? β
