"It's good." Liu Chang smiled and glanced again at the direction in which Li Qingshui and the little girl left.

……

Li Qingshui and the little girl's destination is the Fourth People's Hospital of the city, which is the closest large hospital to here, and they will definitely find what the two of them want there.

Carrying the little girl on their backs, Li Qingshui and the two did not speak all the way, and after walking for nearly half an hour, they finally came to the door of a hospital. There is a huge plaque in front of the hospital courtyard, and if you look closely, you will clearly see the line of large characters composed of neon signs. The Fourth People's Hospital of the closed city".

"That's it." Li Qingshui put down the little girl, looked at the neon sign that was no longer lit, and then looked at the deserted hospital door, and asked with some doubts: "Have you detected any dangerous life forms?" ”

"Nope." The girl shook her head.

"That's kind of weird." Li Qingshui rubbed his chin and continued to ask, "Is there a human breath then?" ”

"Not either." The girl shook her head again.

"It's even more wrong." Li Qingshui looked around at the surrounding environment and said, "It stands to reason that there are medicines in the hospital, even if it is past the time of death, it should not be so deserted." Moreover, you say that there are no traces of monsters, isn't that too weird? ”

"I don't know, just be careful anyway." The little girl closed her eyes, carefully felt the aura around her, and then shook her head affirmatively: "There is really nothing." ”

"That's okay, your detection ability hasn't gone wrong yet, let's be careful, move forward slowly, and turn around and return as soon as there is a situation!"

"Hmm."

After the two of them had made up their minds, they slowly moved into the hospital gate step by step, walking in the courtyard, and almost every few steps they moved, the little girl carefully probed the surrounding movements—but still found nothing.

And Li Qingshui's eyesight is no different from that of ordinary people, so he can only see things about three meters, and in his world, the surroundings are blood-red, except for the small piece of land under his feet, he still can't see anything.

However, along the traces of gravel paving on the ground, even if the two of them have poor eyesight, they still will not go in the wrong direction, and they just walk step by step along the "road" in the hospital compound. The two of them walked unhindered, very quiet, and very safe, and walked into the center of the courtyard - almost strangely smooth.

"Nope." After walking to the middle of the courtyard, Li Qingshui stopped, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, it's too quiet here, let's go back." ”

"Hmm." The little girl was very obedient, "What about that thing?" ”

"Change hospitals, there are more hospitals in the city." As Li Qingshui spoke, he turned around and prepared to pull the little girl away.

But at the moment when he lifted his feet, he suddenly found that his feet were so heavy that he couldn't lift them anymore. Looking down in horror, Li Qingshui saw that many vines like whiskers suddenly grew on the ground, and in the blink of an eye silently and extremely quickly, they wrapped his feet and were climbing towards his calves.

Without saying a word, Li Qingshui hurriedly took out the knife on his waist and bowed down to cut the vines, but after a few slashes, he did not achieve anything-the seemingly soft vines were as tough as a rope made of steel bars.

In just three or four seconds, the crazy vines wrapped around his lower body, then stopped growing, and together with the little girl next to him, they were fixed in place.

"What's going on?" Li Qingshui looked at the little girl with a flustered expression.

"I don't know, I can't feel the breath of life on this vine at all." The girl's expression was even more frightened, and the failure of the mental probe made her feel a little strange in addition to being frightened.

Until a voice appeared, so that the strange atmosphere here was completely sublimated.

"Hello, human."

A very ordinary sentence, like the usual phrase used when aliens invaded Earth, the voice was old, like an echo in a tree hollow. The tone was Mandarin Chinese, so that the two people present could clearly understand what he was saying.

"Who?" Li Qingshui looked around, and then saw a huge phantom in front of him.

The phantom towered into the sky, and with Li Qingshui's eyesight, he couldn't see how tall or wide he was, and he couldn't even see what he looked like. If it weren't for the fact that the shadow was so large that it blocked the sunlight that pierced through the fog above his head, he wouldn't even be able to see this shadow.

"Hello human, I'm a tree." The huge phantom moved but was silent, and by the time it was completely standing in front of Li Qingshui, it had completely blocked the sunlight above his head. And after he stood still, he spoke again: "According to you humans, I am a willow tree, a willow tree that has changed. ”

"Willow?" Li Qingshui suddenly thought of the huge plant rhizome he saw in the sewer a week ago, the plant rhizome that ran through the entire underground world, the plant rhizome that made him think of the word "World Tree", the rhizome that made him have more doubts about this nascent world. He had cut off a piece and brought it back to study, and even the tiny tendrils were still in his trouser belt.

"Yes, a willow tree." The giant phantom spoke again, "You should have seen me, you have the rhizome I once had on you. ”

The hollow sound continued to echo, and then Li Qingshui saw a wicker slowly extend from the air, extending into his line of sight, then burrowing through the vine that had wrapped him into his trouser pocket, and then rolling out the dried root.

"It's something I used to have." The phantom spoke, the wicker rolled and wrapped, and the roots were already shattered by it, "But I don't need it anymore." ”

"Are you really a tree?" Seeing that the tenacious roots were as flexible as human fingers, and hearing the very humanized voice of the phantom, even Li Qingshui, who had studied biology, even Li Qingshui, who had experienced this "great evolutionary era" and was no stranger, couldn't believe this fact at all.

"Yes, I'm a willow tree, there's no need to lie to you about that." The voices in the air seemed patient.

"Then why are you talking?" Li Qingshui shouted, as if he wanted to use the voice of the exhaustion to cover up the fact that he was even more exhausting, "Even if it is an intelligent species, it is impossible to completely learn the human language in such a short time, and even if it does, it is impossible to understand the meaning of each word so deeply." The tone and tone of your voice don't look like a beginner at all. ”

"It's like...... It's like a living person! ”

"For, in essence, my wisdom is human wisdom, and my language is naturally the language of mankind." As he spoke, the phantom once again stretched down a branch from a high place, but this time the branch was dozens of times thicker than the one just now, and the precision was tens of thousands of times that of the other one—it was a combination of precision instruments made up of countless small branches that were intertwined and combined.

In this rattan assemblage, as thick as a human finger and thinner than a human hair, it wraps around a transparent film of resin the size of a sea bowl, and in the middle of this transparent film is a human brain.

The brain is alive, and the blood vessels in the brain seem to be still flowing, connected to countless bright red willow branches that are smaller than a human hair, like blood vessels, constantly running and transporting blood and energy.

Author's Note:

(The book is more than 100,000 words, and from this chapter onwards, the prologue of the entire global evolution can be regarded as officially unveiled.) After reading this chapter, please don't wonder, there will be an explanation later in the book about the super life of the willow tree. Writing this, in fact, the world in my mind is only showing a small part, everyone give me some time, I will show you a really grand world in the future.

Due to the problem of the order in which the novels were written, in fact, many of the doubts of this nascent world have not been revealed. For example, why animals with the surname Gewen used to eat people, how to establish a new food chain system for herbivores and plants and carnivores, and about the future evolutionary direction of human beings, many serious readers have raised questions in the book review section. All I can say is that I didn't expect it, it's just that I haven't written it yet, and these will all be there. Just like someone in the book review section asked me why humans didn't evolve at the beginning, and now I believe he knows why humans didn't evolve in the first few chapters. So there are some questions, I will slowly answer them for you in the book.

Because what I'm going to describe is a real world!

So, thank you very much for your comments in the book review section, these encouragements and inspirations are very useful to me. Yesterday I was actually inspired by a reader to completely complete the ecosystem in my mind in the evening. There are also some serious readers who also point out the mistakes in the book. For example, in the previous chapters, I wrote about the "giraffe theory" by Darwin, but the theory was said by Lamarck, which I have corrected, and thank you to the classmate named "Dark Goblin" who pointed it wrong. ）
