If the Xiacheng settlement is an anthill hidden underground, then the Shuyuan settlement where Jiang Yun is located is a bird's nest hidden in the canopy.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have believed that this small settlement was built on top of the woods.

Thousands of huge trees, with extraordinary foliage at the top, and incredible flexibility of their branches. The branches of thousands of trees are linked to each other and knotted with each other, weaving a dense network of trees.

Wang Qiang grabbed the vines and easily climbed the tree. Any big tree is more than twenty or thirty meters high, and the highest can reach a height of 100 meters, and the branches of these trees are connected to each other, forming an inseparable whole, and it will be a challenge for the whole forest to shake any tree from any corner.

The vines are easy to climb, and even hungry women and old people can climb the rough trees with the vines, the bark of which is so rough that you can feel the old bark when you touch it, but this bark is very suitable for climbing.

Walking a little further up the tree, it rose to a height of about ten meters, and the vines hanging from the tree were no longer enough, Wang Qiang stood on a thick branch, observing this magical forest.

Putting down the vine in his hand, Wang Qiang noticed another vine hanging from a higher place, and with the help of this vine, Wang Qiang continued to climb upward.

The trunk of the tree has not yet thinned, and Wang Qiang has never seen such a big tree, protecting each other, snuggling up to each other, and colluding with each other. The trunk was so huge, so straight, and there were vines as strong as nylon ropes, and a canopy that shaded the sky.

After climbing about fifteen or sixteen meters, Wang Qiang entered the upper layer of the big tree, at this time, there was a ladder artificially chiseled out of the trunk, the ladder was very shallow, but it was also very regular, holding a thin vine, prostrate his body, stepping on the stairs, Wang Qiang finally got under the canopy of the big tree.

The canopy is extremely lush, as lush as a sunflower that sprouts towards the sky, countless branches support the canopy, countless vines are intertwined, and countless leaves are densely squeezed, Wang Qiang is a little surprised, there is still such a magical tree in the world.

Finding a gap in the canopy of a tree dug by hand, Wang Qiang drilled to the top of the tree.

God forbid, the time-consuming climb made Wang Qiang see a picture that was enough to surprise the eyeballs.

Above the big trees, above the thousands of big trees, are patches of rolling grasslands!

Yes, it's the grassland, and all the branches and leaves are densely combined to form a piece of land!

Wang Qiang stroked his feet, these branches and leaves actually looked extremely flat in the sky, and there was soil on them, and there were some small grasses and flowers of various colors growing in the soil.

"It's a miracle." Lin Er, who had come out of the canopy, stood not far from Wang Qiang and sighed.

Endless gentle slopes, endless tree fields!

Wang Qiang stood up straight with a shudder, and jumped boldly, as if he was jumping on a wooden floor, and landed smoothly.

"I can't imagine that these big trees are connected to each other and have such a strong load-bearing capacity." Wang Qiang exclaimed.

Lin Shuang's city defense team members gathered together one after another, looking at the strange scene in front of them.

"I've never seen a tree like this, and I've never heard of such a magical place." Said a city guard who was old enough.

Dozens of wooden houses are built not far away, all of which surround a large tree jutting out of the plain.

"Look at that tree, it's spectacular." Wang Qiang exclaimed.

The big tree that broke through the tree plain and towered tall alone was more than fifty meters in diameter! Wang Qiang visually examined, yes, what kind of tree trunk can be fifty meters thick?

Lin Er took a deep breath and sighed: "The world has really changed, changed, these things I can swear to the sky, before the end of the world, there has never been, unheard of, never seen!" ”

"Welcome to our settlement, friend. You're at least safe here, and so far, we've never seen or heard of any zombies that can climb trees. The woman named Xie Ling hugged Jiang Yuan and said with a smile, funny and reserved.

Wang Qiang looked at Jiang Yun who was following the woman, Jiang Yun also looked at him, and after making a grimace at him, he shook his head and ignored him, making the pervert Qiang blush for a while.

Lin Er looked at this scenery and couldn't help asking: "Eldest sister, what kind of tree is this, it can carry such a weight, and it can actually open up a living place on the top of the canopy, it is really a great miracle that has never been seen in ancient and modern times." ”

When the woman heard Lin Er say this, she replied without concealment: "Actually, these trees have never existed in history. ”

"Haven't we? Could it be that these are immortal trees, falling from the sky? Lin Er's eyes widened, and he made an expression of swallowing a large coconut.

The woman smiled, her hungry face had a bit of charm, and she replied with a smile: "How can it be an immortal tree, these big trees have been cultivated over the years." ”

"Ahh Cultivated? Are you scientists? Lin Er exclaimed.

Wang Qiang came back to his senses and listened to the conversation.

Wang Qiang has never heard the word scientist.

The woman did not deny it, and replied frankly: "To tell you the truth, my husband and I are both scientific researchers affiliated with the 002 Project of the Republic, and I have made great achievements in the field of botany, while my husband is a biologist. ”

"Project 002?" Lin Er was shocked.

"What 002" Wang Qiang looked dazed.

"The 002 project is a huge project in order to alleviate the rapid consumption of renewable resources by the officials of the Republic of China in the old era, focusing on solving the problem of resource regeneration." Lin Er said.

The woman's expression was a little unnatural, like nostalgia, a little gloomy.

"You're right, this is Project 002. Unfortunately, our achievements have not yet benefited mankind, and civilization has already been destroyed by disaster. The woman said.

"This little brother, you know the 002 project so well, is it too?" Tentative question of the woman.

Lin Eryi haha: "I don't have the ability to engage in scientific research, but as the garrison force of individual key research institutes, I was ordered to be stationed in the 002 engineering scientific research institutions. ”

The woman pondered for a moment, "So, you are a soldier of the Republic. I don't know what happened to the institution you were stationed at the time after the disaster. ”

Lin Er was a little stunned: "I haven't heard the title of a soldier of the republic for many years, so I'm really uncomfortable."

At that time, after the outbreak of the cataclysm, my organization was evacuated, and it was not my unit that was responsible for the protection. After the catastrophe began, I was ordered to enter H City to carry out stability maintenance, and then the virus broke out in H City, and the troops collapsed in an instant, and I fled to the Xiacheng base. ”

"Downtown?" The woman pondered as if the word was very familiar.

"Is that the legendary High Energy Research Center?" The woman remembered something and asked one after another.

A flash of light flashed in Lin Er's eyes, and he immediately replied: "Yes, it is the Advanced Energy Research Institute, but the Institute has had three serious lesions since then, and the real scientists are no longer there." ”

The woman's expression darkened again, and she said to herself, "That's a pity, a pity."

Everyone visited the plain of a tree by moonlight, and the woman led Lin Er and the others to a big house, and said to them, everyone will rest here tonight.

Wang Qiang took a closer look at the house: the trees were made of local materials, the floor was inlaid with some wooden rivets, and some sun-dried branches and leaves formed the roof, and the whole house was constructed of trees under his feet, which was sturdy and simple.

Everyone put down their luggage and rested for a while, and the people of the Tree Plains settlement served dinner.

A large bucket of coarse porridge, mixed with a little wild vegetable roots, was brought to Lin Er, and it was everyone's food tonight.

Wang Qiang rarely went out to walk, and only then did he find that the food in the original Xiacheng settlement was good.

Watching the porridge delivery person reluctantly leave, Lin Er realized a problem, the people here were extremely short of food.

After filling his hunger with gruel, Lin Er took the initiative to visit the women, because he had never seen the leader of the settlement, so many of the circumstances were still unknown.

Wang Qiang followed Lin Er and went to find the woman. In the same similar thatched hut, Lin Er met the woman named Xie Ling.

Walking into the hut, a photo came into view. It can be found that this is a family of four, the male owner is out, and Jiang Yun's siblings and their mother live in this small house.

Lin Er took out an unopened box of military biscuits from his arms and handed it to the woman. Women have also seen this kind of military rations, high-calorie food is the best choice for survival in the wild, this kind of thing is not something that can be obtained casually.

The woman looked at Lin Er, then at the food, and couldn't help but not stretch out her hand.

Lin Er had a feeling of satisfaction, and asked, "I ask about two things, and this cookie will belong to you, okay?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but nod.

"You say you're a botanist, and I believed it when I saw these miraculous plants, but, looking back, most of the people in your colony are hungry and hungry, and it seems that they are the result of a chronic lack of nutrition." Lin Er looked at the woman's face and continued, "Isn't it a little ridiculous that a great botanist who can make a towering giant tree can't meet the food needs of a small settlement? ”

When the woman heard this, she replied with a wry smile: "Little brother, what do you think of these trees?" ”

Lin Er didn't know why, but he still replied, it's very good, a miracle in the world.

The woman nodded: "It is indeed a miracle in the world." However, as you know, human beings tend to have a superficial understanding of everything, and human beings are also arrogant.

Pandora's box is opened by ignorant humans, but they think that they have taken a great step, and only when they find their mistakes, will they regret it.

It is as if these trees can indeed grow into thousand-year-old trees in just a few years, and they can alleviate the resource crisis brought about by human development.

But if you look at this forest, do you see any other plants? ”

Lin Er's huge body trembled, and Wang Qiang was also shocked!

Yes, why didn't they notice that in this world of trees, apart from the trees themselves, and some insignificant derivatives, there really can't find any other kinds of plants!
