Chapter 174: Bearing Fruit
When he woke up, Aoki found that he had 5 more small fruits on his body.
This year's flowering was the same as the previous two times, but the fruiting time was delayed by three months, so I wonder if it will affect the timing of next year's harvest.
Subsequently, in Aoki's ardent anticipation every day, the small fruits increased one by one.
Every morning after waking up, Aoki would count with eagerness, excitement, and apprehension, hoping that he would be able to count as many as he could.
This kind of seed is related to the progress of future development, one more seed, you can occupy several areas, so the more seeds, the better.
Aoki was already shouting in his heart at this time: "Let the seeds come more violently, I can withstand it!" ”
Like Aoki, when it came to the critical moment when the Genki Mother Tree was fruiting, the people in the base who knew about it also began to get nervous, and many experts came over to observe it every day. Their expectations and nervousness are even greater than Aoki's, and they almost live under the tree every day.
Unfortunately, because the Aoki tree is so big, it is not clear how much fruit it bears, let alone counting. It is impossible for them to climb up to see it, and if they accidentally damage a branch and there happens to be a fruit in it, it will be a big loss. It's even more impossible to use a helicopter or something, the propellers are blowing too much wind, and it's easy to blow the flowers to death.
The eagerness kept scratching their hearts like a cat's claw, and in the end they had to install high-definition cameras in the tall trees around them, and use it to find as many as they could.
"Commander, Director, 11 have been found now......
"Commander! I found another one! ”
There were constantly people coming to report, and the two were pleasantly surprised. But they all had an urge to kick one of them off and sit up and find it themselves. In the end, I think about it, forget it, I am a leader, I must be calm and have an image.
The commander asked, "Zhao Suo, do you want to spray some pesticides on the Yuanqi Mother Tree?" Then apply some fertilizer to increase the fruit-bearing rate? ”
"It's an idea, I'll let my men do it right away, and try to use the best. However, it is best to ask for the consent of the Mother Tree. ”
After Aoki learned about this situation, there was no need for pesticides, he was no longer the little sapling he was back then, and he would still harass himself with pests?
As for fertilization, Aoki agreed without hesitation, but he didn't expect much benefit from this fertilization.
In the past few years, the base has applied various fertilizers to Aoki, including stinky manure, but Aoki found that these so-called fertilizers are useless to Aoki.
At this time, Director Zhao thought of a question and suggested to the commander: "Commander, according to the situation in previous years, this crystal monster should be coming soon, so we must strengthen our vigilance, especially at this critical moment when the fruit is hanging." ”
"Okay, I'll go back and let them strengthen it, but why haven't we heard about monsters eating people this year? It's weird. "The commander has not yet received any relevant alerts or news, and he is puzzled.
"Well, I think it's weird too, but maybe the monster hasn't come out yet; Or maybe the monster is not on China's side, but in Laos and other places; Or maybe the monster is now in the forest, eating animals instead of humans. ”
The commander agreed: "You have a point. ”
The commander turned back to his assistant and said, "Arrange for someone to collect relevant information about those countries in the south to see if there are any incidents of monsters attacking humans." ”
As time passed, Aoki's fruits increased day by day, making the commander and them rejoice.
However, the good days soon came to an end, and by mid-September, Aoki found that all the flowers had been gone, and there were 28 fruits in total.
This flower is all over the tree, how can there be tens of thousands, and there are only 28 fruits, which means that the fruit hanging rate is only 2 per 1,000...... This kind of fruit-hanging rate is really a dead father!
Despite the experience of the first two times, it can't stop Aoki from still looking forward to it, right? But why do you have to disappoint Aoki every time?
Compared with Aoki, the commander and Director Zhao are dumbfounded and depressed...... At this time, all those who knew came to Aoki's tree and looked at the flowers all over the ground.
It's distressing, so many flowers, all of them have fallen like this.
The trees are full of flowers, and they originally cared for them with a wish that this tree could produce hundreds of fruits, but now there are only 28 fruits that are so bad.
They wanted to shout, "Can you cheat again!" ”
However, even though life is cruel, it is still necessary to continue to live, or the same sentence, try to enjoy it.
Many uninformed people have strangely found that the mood of several leaders in the past few days does not seem to be very good, and their eyes are about to burst into flames. As a result, the atmosphere in the base was tense, and many newcomers were even more confused and nervous.
Three days later, at noon, Director Zhao and the commander rested in a teahouse.
"Commander, we seem to be a little angry lately, and the atmosphere in the base seems to be a little tight."
"Well, just hold on. Just now, my assistant found the information about the crystal monster that they searched, which has not been found in China or abroad, and it should be in the forest. So at this time, they are more nervous, and they will be more careful in their work. ”
When Director Zhao heard this, he scolded with a smile: "You are too treacherous...... However, as time passes, it means that the monster will be more difficult to deal with, and we must find it out as soon as possible and contain it as soon as possible. ”
"Well, tomorrow I will order you to go down, strengthen your vigilance, and get your weapons ready. However, the monitoring range of 30 kilometers is already the limit, and if there are more, there will be a lot more cameras, which is not easy to operate. ”
"Well, I understand!"
After the commander returned to his office, he quickly issued a series of orders, and the atmosphere at the base became even more tense.
Those newcomers felt the most obvious, and suddenly found that the seniors of the entire base and research institute had a tense face, and their usual smiles were also missing. Let these newcomers have a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and they are about to be out of breath.
"What happened?" At this time, all newcomers have a question in their hearts.
Soon they get word from an old-timer that a monster is coming.
"Monsters? What did it come from? "All the newcomers looked at each other, are the male leopards in the valley considered monsters? But even if they were enemies, they wouldn't be able to make the base so cautious, right?
"Is there a monster more powerful than a leopard? How horrible would that be? ”
While these newcomers were thinking wildly, the base received a call from the Banna Prefecture Public Security Bureau.
Soon after, the base selected 5 mutant warriors who had mastered their skills to leave the base and quietly entered Lila County.
……………………………… In a remote corner suburb of Lila County, in an abandoned warehouse. This warehouse has long been abandoned, and it has not been inhabited for many years, but at this time, there are strangely more people.
There are 6 of these people in total, some have scars on their faces, some have one eye, some have a face full of flesh, some have hideous sashimi, and one is young and handsome. Except for the younger one, everyone else inadvertently had a fierce light in their eyes, extremely vicious, and they were not good people at first glance.
"Tell me what to do...... one of them.
"This is the last order, as long as we finish this order, we will be able to fly away, I hope everyone will work together and don't keep doing those small actions."
"Our target is Xingzhong Bank, which is located on Renmin Road, and the surrounding traffic is very large. I went and stole the architectural drawings last night, and we could go down the sewers to the bank, and then melt the bank vault with tools, and the money, the gold, and all that was on it, was ours......"
"Hahaha!" All of them will laugh. A good life is just around the corner, and you can play as much as you want in the future.
"Hehe, it's so easy, and it doesn't take so many people!" Just when all the people were laughing, such a sentence appeared coldly, which made everyone suddenly cold, and then their minds floated. This man dared to say this for his own basis, because he considered himself the most indispensable in this operation.
Kui Lao Wu looked at the appearance of the others, and felt helpless. These people were initially selected by themselves from those mutants who 'killed people, set fires, and robbed houses', and in terms of personal ability, they must be many times higher than those policemen or something. But they all have one problem, no one obeys the other.
Originally, it was nothing, but as the bank robbery plan went smoothly, some people began to think that there were too many people in this team, resulting in the things obtained from the bank robbery being divided up a lot. So some people thought carefully.
"Scar, don't mention this kind of thing in the future!" Kui Lao Wu said warningly.
Scar originally wanted to say a few words, but when he saw the cold face of Kui Lao Wu, he immediately shrank. But his words planted a seed in everyone's hearts.
"When I robbed the bank, maybe I wouldn't have made any moves, but after the robbery, I don't know if I can control myself from robbing you...... this is the voice of several mutants now.
The next day, the four of them crawled all the way down the sewer to the bottom of the vault of the Xingzhong Bank. The other two people did not go down the sewer, but drove to the door of the Xingzhong Bank, one of them stood guard in the car, watching the surroundings, and the other entered the bank.
What they didn't know was that there were several hidden places in the sewers under the bank vault and several cameras were pointing at the sewers.
And when they came to the sewer under the vault, the special combat team members who were preparing in the central area of Lila County quickly reacted: "There has been a ...... in Xingzhong Bank on Renmin Road."
