Chapter 279: The Right to Choose

readx; At the moment when Li Jian stepped out, a strong sense of crisis suddenly flooded from his heart, it was a feeling of life and death crisis that was enough to make him die a thousand times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

That feeling came from that huge mutated tree.

At the moment when Li Jian stepped out, the rapid sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, and then Li Jian found that a small black dot appeared in his pupils, and gradually, this small black dot became bigger and bigger, until it later revealed its true face. It was a branch with dark green leaves, as thick as an adult's **!

This branch seemed to have been eyeing Li Jian for a long time, and as soon as Li Jian stepped into the attack range of the giant mutant tree, it couldn't wait to break through the air. For Li Jian, it seems that it has an extremely primitive **. Compared with Li Jian, what zombies, what humans, what animals, all are garbage, it is so eager for Li Jian, longing for him to become another pitiful collection corpse in its huge canopy.

Just when that branch broke through the air, Li Jian's heartbeat suddenly increased several times. He was now gambling that the range of the giant mutant tree was really as he expected. If the bet is right, then he will survive, and maybe he will be able to get a little hope in the next crisis on the island in the middle of the lake. If he was wrong, then it is likely that today will be his sacrifice for the coming year.

Soon, the thick branch had already hit Li Jian, just when it began to become bent, like last time to roll up Li Jian and take away, Li Jian with lightning speed, pulled out his saber and swung it at the thick branch, the thick branch was cut by the sharp saber, although it could not be completely cut, but it was also partially broken, and it fell to the ground weakly.

At the moment when the saber slashed through the thick branches, then jumped backwards. At this moment, Li Jian's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, he was gambling now, if this branch could still attack him at this distance, then he was really going to be planted here today.

Li Jian's saber did little damage to the stout branch, not enough to provoke it. It stretched desperately, trying to penetrate Li Jian's body and turn him into another pitiful collectible for it.

The hooligan A and B looked at their boss in shock at this moment, in their eyes, what Li Jian did at this moment was no different from looking for death. Because, he turned out to be provoking, or even provocative, it was a huge mutant tree that human beings couldn't fight against! This is really beyond their cognition, in their cognition, their boss is a very calm and rational person, why is he now committing an act of automatic death?

Just in Li Jian's sharply contracted pupils, the thick branch finally stopped more than ten centimeters in front of him. Just like last time, the branch stretched out desperately, trying to touch Li Jian's body. But in just over ten years, it is like an insurmountable gap at this moment, no matter how it straightens, it can't reach Li Jian's body.

In the end, this thick branch could only recede unwillingly, and its humanized appearance even made De Li Jian wonder if the huge mutated tree had already given birth to a certain amount of wisdom, or did it act only on instinct like an ordinary zombie.

But now, this was not the focus of his consideration, and when the thick branch was rapidly receding, Li Jian took the opportunity to pick up the fragment of the branch that he had cut with his saber just now, and then casually used an empty jar to fill it, and then exhaled a breath of relief like a sigh of relief.

The hooligan A and B looked at Li Jian with ghost-like eyes, watching him open the car door and sit back in the co-pilot's seat as if nothing had happened.

For a long time, the two of them looked at Li Jian from left to back like this, until Li Jian looked impatient, and then asked rhetorically.

"Why don't you drive?"

Being reminded by Li Jian like this, the rogue A slammed a spirit, and then twisted the key to start the engine and drove in the direction of the island in the middle of the lake.

Although Li Jian now looks as if he has done something unrelated, he still feels palpitations when he looks back on it now. It was really a gamble, a gamble that risked his life.

Li Jian didn't have this idea, and on the way back, he kept thinking about what he could do in the face of the upcoming crisis of the island in the middle of the lake, and what he should do to protect the base of the island in the middle of the lake that he had built single-handedly.

Later, when passing by the vicinity of the huge mutant tree that had almost taken away the three of them, Li Jian suddenly had an idea, and wondered, can he obtain some parts of this huge mutant tree, and then retrieve it back to the island in the middle of the lake to cultivate? Maybe he doesn't need to be cultivated on the island in the middle of the lake, as long as he is planted next to the lake, maybe it will create a natural barrier that can be used to protect the safety of the island in the middle of the lake.

In the past, when he was a biology student, he learned that even if some parts of a plant are intercepted, it is possible to survive and grow into a new plant if they are cultivated under the right conditions. Although if there was an additional mutant plant like this huge mutant tree in the lake, it would probably threaten the island in the middle of the lake in turn, but now that the crisis of the island was imminent, Li Jian couldn't control it so much. To be honest, he suddenly thought of this stupid method after a brain pump, and whether he could survive the little things he intercepted was also a big question, so Li Jian was just trying to comfort him, at least he had a certain opportunity, so he couldn't just sit back and wait, right?

In addition, in addition to Li Jian's intention to cultivate such a mutant tree on the other side of the lake, he also confirmed whether the current attack range of this mutant tree was what Li Jian had speculated before. Because the distance between this mutant tree and the island in the middle of the lake is actually not far, as a terrifying creature with a super wide attack range, Li Jian felt that it was necessary to know more about it, at least not so that the other people on the island in the middle of the lake would walk into its attack range in a daze, and then make another corpse collection on the canopy that covered the sky in a daze.

After passing by this mutant tree, it didn't take long for the three of them to return to the island in the middle of the lake.

Before leaving, the small wooden boat they had sunk on the lake was still there, and after returning to the island in the middle of the lake, everything was as usual, and nothing major happened. In fact, Li Jian and the others have all met that group of survivors on the dock warehouse, and they are divided into two routes, one side goes to the dock warehouse to find guns and ammunition, and the other goes to the island in the middle of the lake to attack, which is almost impossible. Anyway, the island in the middle of the lake is here, and I can't run away, and it's not bad for a few days, so it's more practical to go and get guns and ammunition.

Seeing Li Jian and the three of them come back, the other people on the island in the middle of the lake were very happy, with Lin Ying's guiding ability, they were full of thought that Li Jian would definitely be able to find a large number of guns and ammunition this time, and then come back to arm their base on the island without fear of any foreign enemies. Who knows, when Li Jian and the others came back this time, they were literally empty-handed, and even the backpack with food they were carrying when they went was gone, which had to remind people of some bad thoughts.

"Everyone come and gather here in the clearing, I have something to tell you."

Li Jian beckoned everyone, and then everyone walked to the open space with a puzzled look and formed a circle, even Lin Ying sat down beside him worriedly after seeing Li Jian's solemn expression, wanting to know what was going on.

"Guys, we're in big trouble."

Li Jian took a deep breath, and then talked about the events of the past two days, as well as some things about the survivor group, in which his pen and ink focused on the other party's value of the Feng Shui treasure of Lake Island, and then wanted to take it for himself. As well as the number of people on the other side, there are more equipment than them, and the overall strength of their side is too weak.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ That's the way it is, although the base area of the island in the middle of the lake has not been renovated yet, and even everyone has not been on this island for a long time, but this is probably the biggest crisis we need to face. ā€

Li Jian sighed heavily, his expression solemn.

After listening to Li Jian's narration, everyone present fell silent, and for a long time, I don't know who suddenly started to speak in a trembling voice.

"So, are we going to get out of here? If you leave here, how can you live? Wouldn't it be better to find a new place and build another base? ā€

Li Jian looked at the person who spoke up, that person was one of the experts that Li Jian had rescued in the research institute before, and at this moment he found that he was stared at by Li Jian after he spoke, he quickly lowered his head in fear, not daring to meet Li Jian's gaze.

Li Jian also felt a heavy heart, to be honest, he also knew that there would definitely be many people here who thought like that person. Instead of staying here and waiting to die, it is better to leave here early and find a new safe and comfortable place.

"If we don't try, how do we know we're going to lose?"

Lin Ying's crisp voice suddenly sounded in the clearing, which shocked everyone's spirits.

"This island base in the middle of the lake was built by all of us together, how can it be so easy to give it to them? Maybe on the bright side, we can't compare with them at all. But there are many things that you won't know if you don't try them. ā€

"Do we really have to wait until someone dies to leave?"

Someone asked.

"This ......"

Just when Lin Ying wanted to say something more, Li Jian suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, and then said lightly.

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you. But I'm here to assure you that if you stay on the island, even if we lose in the end, they will still occupy it, and I will still do my best to protect everyone's safety. This base is not in the middle of the lake at all, but on all of us. ā€

"The choice is yours. Whether to stay and fight with us, or to leave while there is no danger now, you choose. Whatever your choice, I will not stand in the way. (To be continued.) )
