Chapter 1: The Tree of Life
Zhuang Zhuang just graduated this year, joined a newly established start-up company, mainly developing the application of QR codes in the Internet café industry, the company from research and development to operation, announced its dissolution in less than three months, and became addicted to online games every day after losing his job to kill time.
--------------
Xuelang Sea is a small island, the whole island is exactly twenty people, here isolated, never outsiders have come, the whole island is surrounded by the sea, there is only night here, no sun, there is perennial heavy snow on the sea, and the wind does not stop all year round.
There is a plant in the middle of the island, the thickness of the thumb reaches to the sky, the naked eye can not see the end, no one knows what it is, no one knows when it appeared, no one even knows how they ended up here, since the memory of only one thing, that is, if he is lost, the world will be destroyed, and everyone will be buried. That's why everyone calls it the tree of life, and it's there, and everyone's life is there.
Around the Tree of Life is an open space, and on the periphery are twenty holes in the center, which are the places where the islanders sleep, and there is nothing else on the island, except for the large stones covered by each cave, which can be considered to be movable objects.
When people are sleepy, they go into the burrow, and when they wake up, they crawl out of the burrow, and carry the seawater from the edge of the island to the center of the island with their hands, irrigating the tree of life, which will give back a golden light to illuminate the island and grow fruits for human consumption. Every time the island is illuminated, everyone knows that it is time to rise up and irrigate the tree of life.
--------------
Solemnly pushed away the stone, stretched out his head to look around, there was a dark silence around, there was a flash of lightning in the sky from time to time, but no sound could be heard, as if someone had turned off the sound switch, fear spread infinitely in this space that did not see the light of day, and solemnly retracted into the hole in the ground and hugged his body tightly.
"What the hell is going on, why am I in the pit??" Solemn depressed for a while, remembering that he was playing a game, and now he was in a pit, could it be... Sudden death??? Someone who doesn't do his job properly and plays games and dies suddenly......
Is this a direct burial that the hospital did not rescue me? That's too sloppy!! Throw it into the pit in a ball? And looking at the situation outside, it is still a wilderness, and there is no sound around it, which is a little scary.
At a loss, a faint light slowly drifted overhead, as if trying to illuminate the land, flickering and gradually growing, getting brighter and brighter.
solemnly grabbed the edge of the pit and quietly poked his head out to observe secretly.
I saw a thin man lying on the ground, not knowing what he was doing. Zhuang Yan was actually about a meter away from the other party, and all he saw was a huge ass pouting there, and the two balls were swaying from side to side as the other party worked hard, as if they were digging something.
Not far from the other side of the solemnity, a thumb-thick plant reached into the sky, and the flickering light emanated from the plant's body. Around the plant, and arranged in a circle with the same place as their own holes, a total of 20, in addition to these, in nothing else, under the faint light, it can be seen that this is a small island, the wind around the island is rolling up the blizzard, just like being in the center of a tornado, looking at the crazy blizzard, but not hearing any manic sound, people can't adapt to it for a while.
"Majestic!"
Solemnly turned his head and saw that it was the man lying on the ground, looking at him, with a smile on his face, so that the person who saw it could also be in a happy mood. Coupled with a beautiful face, it makes people feel kind.
"You're awake! Why don't you come out to irrigate the tree of life? As he said this, the man got up from the ground and crouched down in front of his majesty and asked.
………
Big brother, you can talk when you talk, what are you doing when you squat down to me!
"The Tree of Life?" Solemnly puzzled, he asked.
"Irrigation what?? This thing? "The only thing that can be called a tree in this place is this plant in the middle of the island that reaches to the sky, and there is nothing else but it.
"Solemnly, how can you point your finger at the tree of life, this is a blasphemy against the tree of life." As he spoke, the man turned back to where he had been, where there was a small pit in the ground that he had just dug with his bare hands.
"Don't do this in the future! Come out, I'm starving. ”
From the pit, a handful of water seeped out, and the man held the water in both hands, walked up to the tree of life, and sprinkled it on the trunk. I saw a beam of golden light light light from the bottom of the tree trunk, and it accelerated abruptly between a few breaths, reaching straight into the sky, and scattered in all directions in the far reach, like a huge golden firework hitting a semicircular protective cover, spreading out in all directions, covering the sky, and the intense light produced by the impact illuminated the sky extremely brightly.
The man looked back and saw that Zhuang Zheng was still in the pit, and his face was furrowed.
"Why haven't you come out yet?"
In his words, the dissatisfaction was fully revealed, and he just stood there staring at solemnity.
Solemnity had no choice but to crawl out of the pit with shame.
Because he was not clothed, he was solemn and bare-bottomed, just like the man.
Bending down, following the man's example, he took the sea water out of the little pit that had just been dug and threw it into the tree of life.
The man's expression was changed, and the previous dissatisfaction disappeared, and it turned into a smile that made people happy at a glance.
"Dude, what are we going to do to irrigate this tree of life?" Solemnly sprinkled water back and forth, and asked casually.
"What for?" The man did not stop the irrigation work, and he also looked puzzled.
The light on the tree of life became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire island, and on the trunk of the thumb-thick, a small vine stretched out, and the speed visible to the naked eye bore fruit, emitting golden particles, and a powerful life force rushed to the face, making people feel refreshed.
"There is no reason why the whole tree is full of fruit before we can sleep"
Looking solemnly at the tree of life, after the light burned out, a spherical fruit actually appeared on one of the branches, and some golden particles surrounded it, forming a halo, which was very beautiful.
"Huh? It's bearing fruit."
Majestically looked at the fruit, which was gray and gray, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a stream of blue water irrigating it, and then patches of green plants burrowed out of the ground, and ant-sized life gradually formed.
The whole process is fleeting, and the birth of a planet is in front of you. The process of creating life made Zhuang Zhen's heart have a feeling that he had never felt before, only feeling that his mind was clear, and an untouchable magical power traveled all over his body, and all pores naturally opened because of this impact, and his whole body was comfortable.
"It's ready to eat."
As soon as Zhuang Zheng recovered from that comfortable feeling, he saw the man next to him grab the planet and throw it into his mouth. Blue, green, mixed with red liquid flowed out of his mouth as he chewed. He licked it with his tongue, and his beautiful expression was extremely enjoyable.
"Really Fragrant"
Majestically froze.
"Eat... Eat... Eaten?? "A planet that is giving birth to life has been eaten like this?
"What's wrong with you? Solemn, you are all a person today, so strange. ”
As he spoke, he plucked a fruit from his eyes and handed it to Solemn.
"I don't eat, I don't eat"
Solemnly shook his head with a face full of resistance, joking, eating the planet, this kind of thing, from the heart of the natural resistance.
--------------
The young man suddenly looked at the solemnity with excitement on his face, and slowly retreated, his eyes revealing the essence, looking solemn, as if he was looking at some treasure.
"Sure enough!"
As the boy spoke, the teenagers crawled out of the surrounding holes one after another.
On a small island less than ten meters in size, from shallow to deep, obscure runes lit up one after another, solemnly surrounded by runes and unable to move, and also lost the ability to speak, so he could only passively watch this scene.
Nineteen teenagers sat around with a tacit understanding on their faces, their hands raised above their heads and swaying wildly, and there were words in their mouths.
A feeling of dizziness filled his body, and he solemnly smelled a strange fragrance coming from him, and he lost consciousness. Before he fell unconscious, he solemnly saw a teenager walk up to him, put his hand into his body, and stirred.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with the method."
The boy spoke, but his voice was sexy and calm, not like before, it was obvious that someone else was whispering through the boy's mouth.
There was a flash of gold, and the twenty teenagers woke up from a dream, and one by one began to irrigate the tree of life again, but no one remembered that one of their companions was no longer the one before.
