After Aoki finished communicating with Niuniu, he began to pay attention to the base camp of Amuro Valley.

Aoki took a closer look at the 11 sub-trees around the valley and found something unusual.

"What are those iron shelves that are installed near the sub-trees? It looks like a lightning rod. Is it to prevent a situation like mine from happening again? ”

Thinking of this, Aoki's heart warmed a little, and the humans in the neighborhood had a heart.

"Huh? Why is the vitality here in the valley so thin? Aoki found that the density of the vitality in the valley was outrageously low, only about one percent of the original. Aoki checked the tree again, and the sub-tree was still producing vitality and escaping into the air.

"The sub-tree's vitality generation rate is normal, even if I produce a lot less vitality now than before, the vitality density will not be so thin? What's going on? ”

What Aoki didn't know was that just as the lightning rod was being installed on the sub-tree of the military base, the Genki tree maintainer noticed something unusual. He carefully collected some leaves and branches and returned to the research institute to examine the leaves and branches, and was shocked to find that the original leaf white body had become chloroplasts.

He couldn't believe his eyes, and then he tried the other leaves, and found them all like this. Sensing the seriousness of the matter, he hurriedly reported it to his superiors. Soon after, the entire research institute mobilized manpower to sample known Genki trees, and found that all Genki trees had begun to degenerate into normal trees.

The entire institute was hit by the accident, and many researchers were discouraged, thinking that their research had been in vain for several years. For a time, the morale of the institute was low. Fortunately, at that time, some people put forward the view that "the function of the Yuanqi tree was degraded due to lightning strikes", which supported the confidence of most people.

Turning back to the valley, Aoki still couldn't figure out the problem of the thinning of vitality, and in the end it could only be attributed to the recent increase in the demand for vitality from the flora and fauna in the valley.

When Aoki scanned the valley with his sense of thought, many animals in the valley seemed to feel Aoki's breath and began to roar and celebrate.

The sullen python, who has always only eaten, drank, slept and loved, looked in the direction of Aoki, his eyes showed joy, but he was still sullen, and he was still reserved and did not swim to Aoki's side to celebrate.

The two golden eagles spread their wings out of the nest and flew to Aoki's body, calling again and again. Some time ago, I felt that Aoki's breath was gone, and I was worried, but now it has finally appeared.

The two pangolins that were plagued by the ant nest also sensed Aoki's return, screamed happily, and ran towards Aoki like a joy, ignoring the ants that were gradually crawling all over their bodies.

The two leopards quickly arrived and lay down at the base of Aoki, squinting and enjoying themselves.

Giant squirrels and hamsters are not afraid of golden eagles and leopards at all, and they also hug the trunk of the green tree with a happy face.

Far away in Amto, the macaques who are taking pictures with tourists also scream and keep bouncing on the branches, attracting the attention of tourists around them. After the last fruit poisoning incident, the macaques found that there are actually a lot of good people, so their attitude towards tourists has changed greatly. And humans also think that macaques know how to be grateful and are also very kind, so they also like macaques. So these days, the macaques are very popular with tourists.

It seems that they all feel the return of Aoki's breath, and the valley is full of beasts roaring, thousands of birds are singing, and a hundred flowers are blooming, as if they are welcoming the return of Aoki.

Seeing the joyful appearance in the valley, Aoki felt very happy and satisfied: "It is not in vain that I have contributed and cared for myself silently on weekdays. ”

Institute of Military Bases.

"Director Zhao, please come to the monitoring room here, there is a new discovery!!" The phone in Director Zhao's office rang, and the voice of Section Chief Liu, the person in charge of the monitoring room, came from the opposite side, his voice was a little trembling, and he felt that his mood fluctuated quite a lot.

"Good!" Zhao Jianhua understood that he must have found something important, otherwise he would not have called himself over, so he did not hesitate to go out and walk quickly to the monitoring room. When I came to the monitoring room, I found that many people had already come at this time, and they were all staring at the screen in the monitoring room, dumbfounded.

"Director, we found that some animals are gathered around the Genki Mother Tree, and the situation is very strange." Section Chief Liu turned a camera to the Genki Mother Tree and turned the image to the large central screen. "Director Zhao, look, these are two pangolins, these are two giant squirrels, this is a hamster, there are two mutant golden eagles, and two leopards. Oh my God, they were able to get along with each other at this time, and the two giant squirrels and hamsters were not afraid of leopards and golden eagles at all. Also, why did they all come to the Mother Tree of Genki for some reason? This has never happened before, what's going on? ”

Director Zhao was also very shocked, with his decades of experience in biological research and investigation, this scene in front of him was completely impossible, this was completely subverting common sense, he muttered to himself: "Why is this?" ”

Before Director Zhao could figure it out, Section Chief Liu operated the computer to turn on the other cameras, and explained to Director Zhao while flipping through them: "Director Zhao, look, this animal, this one, and this ...... The heads of these animals are all facing the side of the Mother Tree, and there is this group of birds, which are constantly chirping in the air, and you listen to this sound, which is a song that expresses pleasure. ”

"So, I'm guessing that something big must have happened to the Mother Tree, and it's definitely a good thing for the animals. That's the only way they can do something so incredible. The more Section Chief Liu spoke, the more excited he became, "I suggest that someone be sent to check it immediately." ”

After listening to Section Chief Liu's words, Director Zhao thought for a while, turned to his assistant and said, "You immediately arrange for someone to go to the Yuanqi Tree to see if there will be any changes in the Yuanqi Tree, all the Yuanqi Trees have been in a state of degradation in the first two or three days, I don't know if there will be any changes this time." ”

Section Chief Liu listened to the words beside him, but he admired Director Zhao so much that he only thought of the Yuanqi Mother Tree, but Director Zhao had already thought of the Zishu side.

"Also, you can arrange for someone to go to the Mother Tree of Vitality to collect information, and remember to choose the brave soldiers. Keep an eye out for the animals next to the Mother Tree, and don't annoy them, as far as you don't overdo it, they won't pay attention to you. ”

The assistant answered and prepared to leave. Who knew that Director Zhao leaned into his ear and said to him with a strange look: "Remember to find logistics to get a large piece of pork, I heard that the leopard likes to eat pork, by the way, don't forget to freeze, I heard that it likes to eat popsicle pork." By the way, don't tell anyone else, remember to keep it a secret. ”

“……！” The assistant's face was black, and his eggs hurt: "How can there be such a superb leopard...... but I think Director Zhao shouldn't lie to him.

The assistant followed the instructions of the director and came to the logistics department with a soldier. After the assistant revealed his identity, the logistics department quickly gave a lump of 20 pounds of frozen pork.

"Dude, it's not dinner yet, what do you want this pork for?" The colleague from logistics asked curiously.

The assistant was stunned and didn't know how to answer, so he could only hold back a sentence: "I play hot pot." ”

After he asked the soldier next to him to carry the pork on his back, the assistant rushed to the Mother Tree with a team of 5 people, two soldiers and 3 researchers. When we set off, another team was arranged to investigate the Genki Tree.

"Team leader, why are you carrying a lump of pork? Is it really hot pot? The soldier who had just gone with him to get pork asked curiously.

"You'll know when you get there, but keep it a secret!"

Aoki didn't know at this time that the strange phenomenon at this time had attracted the attention of the nearby military base, but even if Aoki knew, it didn't matter. First, it only proves that his ontology has begun to turn from withering to rebirth, but it does not prove that his ontology has a high degree of intelligence. The second is that Aoki has now begun to think about how to deal with ZF, because at this time Aoki already has a sense of crisis.

In the first law of knowledge transmission, Aoki is only 100-300 years old.

It has been almost 14 years since Aoki was born. However, Aoki's current telepathic extension range is only 390 kilometers in radius. Based on the circumference of 40,000 kilometers of the earth, it will take more than 700 years for Aoki's mind to visit the world.

It will take 700 years for the growth rate of the sense of mind to cover the whole world, not to mention the slower growth rate of vitality?

Aoki had thought about planting the next batch of seeds separately and going to the world, but the inheritance of knowledge told him that if the sub-tree was not within the scope of the mind, then the sub-tree would not be able to generate vitality.

Forced into desperation, Aoki can only deal with ZF and speed up his progress. However, for human beings, Aoki is still very wary, after all, his predecessor was also a human being, and he knows the endless nature of human beings. So before dealing with ZF, weigh carefully and look for ways to avoid the crisis.

Dealing is a must, but how to deal with it, there is a lot of room for maneuver. Spokesman? Animal? These can all be considered.
