Chapter 43: Retreat

The exposed part of this root-like structure is about two meters long, and the rest is still buried in the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zheng Guo used a bone knife to remove the rotten branches and soft mud, intending to dig it out whole.

Fortunately, it was not buried deeply, and the soil was soft and easy to clean.

The length of the root was beyond his expectations, and it stretched out more than ten meters in a twist and turn, but at the end was another arrow tree.

Zheng Guo looked at the part where the root and the arrow tree were connected, and he was a little confused.

Why, is this thing shared? But when the knife was thrown just now, why wasn't the arrow on this tree triggered?

Zheng Guo circled around the tree, and when he turned to the other side, he let out a strange sigh.

Baozi followed him around, and his perspective adjusted downward.

The viewer sees another root, all black, extending from under the tree, slightly arching out of the ground.

Zheng Guo had a conjecture in his mind, and immediately cleaned up the debris covering it along this root, and sure enough, he found another arrow tree more than ten meters away.

After some cleaning and excavation, it was found that two roots extended from the tree in two directions, connecting to the other two arrow trees.

And so on, it seems that a network has been formed.

The audience was discussing, could it be that the arrow trees here are all connected to each other?

Don't beep if you don't understand: "I've heard that some trees on the earth are connected by their roots to form a whole. ”

"But it's not the root."

"I'll give you an analogy, what are you more real?"

Zheng Guo pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow sailors, I have a bold idea. ”

"This root-like structure may be a conduit for biological signaling, similar to neurons in animals. If this is the case, then a question arises: where is the source of the signal? ”

The audience didn't understand at first, but after a period of silence, some people gradually began to come back to their senses.

"It's scary to think about."

"I don't understand."

"The source is like the brain, responsible for issuing instructions and controlling the activities of the arrow tree, is that what Guo Ye means?"

"Pretend you understand."

"Biological signals? Neuron? What do you mean? ”

"It doesn't matter what he means, anyway, I'm here to see Guoye. (Color)"

"It turns out that I'm not the only one who can't understand it, so I'm relieved, and I thought I had a problem with my IQ."

Zheng Guo took a breath and said, "This jungle may be more complicated than we imagined. ”

Although it is speculated that there is a key source, it is unrealistic to follow the root of the class to find this source, and this biological network must be very intricate, with countless branches.

After this delay, it was almost dark.

It gets dark especially fast in the jungle.

Zheng Guo looked around.

"It's low, it's close to swamps, and it's full of arrow trees, so it's not suitable for shelter." Looking up at the sky, "It's going to be dark in an hour at most, so instead of going on and trying your luck, it's better to go back the way you came and rest on the cliff for the night." ”

So Zheng Guo waded through the water again and returned to the same place.

Someone in the audience said: "Why can't you go back, isn't this a waste of time and physical strength?" ”

Zheng Guo said with a smile: "It is time to advance, it is time to retreat, sometimes regression is to move forward better." ”

It was about to get dark, and building a shelter was a time-consuming task, so Zheng Guo didn't say anything more and began to climb up the cliff.

"Why don't you spend the night in a cave under a cliff?"

"yes, isn't that a natural shelter?"

Questions were raised.

Zheng Guo explained as he climbed up, "The cave is indeed a good shelter, but the problem is that many beasts think the same way. There was only one entrance and exit to the cave, and there was nowhere to run if a wild beast broke in at half the night. ”

"You can set up a few obstacles like in the tree hole."

"Even if the entrance to the cave is not very large, it will be enough to block it with a few stones."

Zheng Guo had already climbed the cliff with both hands and was straddle his legs.

"Actually, the beast is secondary, as you said, setting up a few obstacles can effectively prevent the beast from sneaking up, and the main problem of this cave is flooding."

"When I was inside, I found a clear water mark on the rock wall, which indicates that the cave has been flooded many times and is not suitable for shelter."

The audience understood.

"I see."

"Guo Ye is really bold and careful!"

"It's true to be careful, but it's not necessarily necessary to be bold. If you're really daring, you won't turn back halfway. ”

"If it were me, I would definitely keep going."

"Don't stand and talk without back pain, Guo Ye must have a reason for making this decision."

Zheng Guo ignored some of the doubts in the barrage, he needed to hurry up and build a shelter.

Branches, leaves, and hay were taken from local materials, and finally a sloping tent was built, which was very simple and ventilated on both sides.

"Shelters don't need to be elaborate, especially when time is of the essence, and it would be nice to be able to keep out the rain. The next step is to light the fire as soon as possible. ”

He also found a few vines that contained plenty of sap to drink as water.

After a few minutes, the jungle was completely dark.

The bonfire in front of him crackled and burned, and Zheng Guo sat in front of the tent, roasting a piece of eagle meat on the fire with a fork in his hand.

For some reason, tonight was unusually quiet.

Quite a few things happened today, opening with an almost fantastical approach and ending with a confusing mystery.

Zheng Guo felt that the unexplored area of this jungle was faintly strange, which was why he was extra cautious this time, which could be said to be a sixth sense.

Until you're completely clear, it's definitely not a good idea to venture in.

"Overall, there has been a lot of progress today." Zheng Guo analyzed, "Although I haven't found a clear direction yet, at least I have figured out some of the operating rules here, which will be of great help to my next survival." ”

The eagle meat was almost roasted, and Zheng Guo swallowed it all in just a minute.

Take a vine, cut a small opening, and squeeze out the juice inside to drink.

"The taste is a little astringent and a little bitter, but it can replenish me enough water and vitamin C, which is a rare natural drink."

The view from the top of the cliff is relatively open, and the jungle hundreds of meters ahead can be seen. If you don't need to be on the lookout for a beast coming out behind you, it's nice to rest in a place like this.

A faint white light shone in the distant sky, presumably emitted by the moon hidden behind the clouds.

"Sailors, let's almost stop here today, let's ...... next"

The audience's hearts were tight.

"I still don't want to sing tonight, I'm very sorry, I owe you two songs."

Ever since he entered the unexplored area, he always felt a little depressed, as if all the cells in his body were nervous, so that he was not even in the mood to sing.

The sailors were relieved when they heard this.

Someone proposed, "Let's go and listen to the wooden goddess sing." ”

Immediately, tens of thousands of people seconded the proposal.

Before Zheng Guo could say anything, he saw Muzi post a barrage: "What does Guo Ye want to hear?" ”

"I'm rubbing, is the wooden goddess still there?"

"When it comes to paddling, I only serve old wood."

"After paddling for a few hours, the daily ranking is still in second place, second only to Guo Ye, and there is no one with this energy."

"Sister Mu has someone to give gifts even if she is in a daze during the live broadcast, this is an era of looking at faces."

Muzi: "Hehe, today is a paddling session, and I don't usually do that." ”

“???”

"You're usually like that."

"Liar, paddling!"

Zheng Guo entered the Muzi live broadcast room, pretended to think for a while, and said, "That...... Just sing what you're best at. ”

No way, he doesn't know anything other than "Travel......

"Okay." Muzi smiled at the camera, "The next song is for the army of Guoye." ”

She sings her famous songs, with beautiful melodies and is very well-known.

This song does not quite match her pure and unpretentious temperament, and the lyrics and melody have a little sexy of a mature woman, but this contrast does not give her any points, but has a feeling of contrast and cuteness.

After singing a song, the gift swiped the screen, and there was a lot of applause.

"This is singing, listening to crying."

"Crushing strength!"

"Think again about our ...... A handful of bitter tears! ”

"There is no harm without contrast."

Although Zheng Guo doesn't understand music, he can also hear that this is definitely a professional level, and he sings better than him.

I wanted to order a few tuxedos, only to find that I had no money in my account.

In the past few days, I have received a lot of gifts, and I can get tens of thousands of dollars if I divide them into a few shares, but the money has not yet arrived.

"You sing very well, and you are also very talented in singing." Zheng Guo commented as usual.

"Attention, the focus is on the word 'also'. (laughs and cries)"

"Guo Ye...... People can't live without shame. ”

"Okay, you're talented, okay."

Zheng Guo waved his hand at the camera: "I'm going down, goodbye." ”

Mu Zi also waved his hand: "Good night, Guoye." ”

In a stacked goodnight barrage, the screen in the live broadcast room went black.
