Chapter 2: Awakening

Shen Xiaoxiao, who was wrapped in pulp, finally crawled back to the door of her house, and made her such a culprit, and she had already walked a long distance.

Sighing helplessly, he went back to the house and got a bucket, and took some water from the vat outside the house, and simply cleaned up the mud on his body.

After finishing it, she remembered that Su Ye was in the center of the safety zone, found a job to support the family, and had to go to work six days a week, going out before dawn in the morning, and not coming back until dinner time.

She was originally a little worried about Su Ye, but when she thought that Su Ye might have gone to work, she put her mind at ease, changed into clean clothes, sat back in her original position, and continued to bask in the sun comfortably.

Thinking that when Su Ye came back and asked him to go to work tomorrow, he would bring himself with him, and she would also go to find a job.

One one

In the evening, the sky was getting dark, and Shen Xiaoxiao saw a figure on the street in the distance, walking in the direction of her new home, thinking that Su Ye should be back.

But when the person approached, she saw that the person was not Su Ye, but a person who was not in her memory.

"Are you Su Ye's sister?" The man walked to the door of his house and looked at her anxiously.

"Well, you are?" Shen Xiaoxiao nodded.

"I'm Su Ye's colleague, just call me Wang Bing." After Wang Bing introduced himself, he hurriedly asked, "Su Ye, is he back?" ”

"No, didn't my brother go to work?"

"Nope." Wang Bingyan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, sighed, and said: "Su Ye came to ask for leave early this morning, saying that he heard that the snake grass in the mangrove forest is particularly effective in treating external injuries, and he is going to pick herbs to heal his sister's injuries." ”

"Mangrove forest? You didn't stop him? When she heard the Mangrove Forest, Shen Xiaoxiao's brows tightened together.

After the end of the world, the world was divided into two regions, one was the safe zone cleared by mutant humans for humans to live and trade safely.

The other is an uncharted territory infested by mutated plants and animals, full of dangers.

And this mangrove forest, which is part of the unknown territory, is also one of the few areas with names, with a good geographical location, not far from the safe zone, and rich in materials, but because there are many mutant snakes there, few people go.

There are two types of mutant snakes in the mangrove forest: one is a small snake that reproduces quickly and likes to live in groups; On the other hand, there are giant snakes with hard skin.

Both species of snakes are extremely difficult, and most of the encounters are more likely to be more than lucky.

Even those who have special abilities try to avoid the mangrove forest, Su Ye, an ordinary person, actually dares to go alone like this?

"He's a man with a lot of brains, and it's about you, and we can't stop it, alas......" Wang Bing sighed again.

"Brother Wang Bing, what you just said, is everything about my brother true?" Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Bing and asked.

"Yes, it was all said when Su Ye came to ask for leave in the morning, if you don't believe me, I can take you to ask other colleagues."

Shen Xiaoxiao stared at Wang Bing for a while, and seeing that he didn't look like a lie, she sighed helplessly, and said, "No need, thank you for caring about my brother, I still have some things to do, so I won't talk to you yet." ”

After saying that, she got up and went back to the house, found a rag bag and put it on her back, stuffed some necessities casually, and was ready to go out to find Su Ye.

As a result, she just walked to the door and saw Wang Bing still standing at the door.

"Is there anything else you can do?" Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him suspiciously.

"Ahh No, it's okay, are you going to find Su Ye? Wang Bing looked at Shen Xiaoxiao a little strangely.

He is not a gossip, but he has also heard many rumors, some of which are about Shen Xiaoxiao.

It is rumored that Su Ye's younger sister is arrogant and unreasonable, arrogant and willful, and she almost killed Su Ye several times, but when he saw him today, he felt that the person in front of him was not the same as the rumored person.

"yes, if you don't have anything else to do, then I'll go first." Shen Xiaoxiao symbolically locked the door, carried the things on her back and walked in the direction of the exit.

It was going to get dark soon, so she had a small box of matches and a small torch with her, and she was going to go as fast as she could, and go to the woods to collect some firewood for the light before it got dark.

Wang Bing looked at Shen Xiaoxiao's back and sighed in his heart, the rumors are not credible, isn't it very good?

Shen Xiaoxiao followed the memory and walked all the way to the exit.

The guards on duty happened to be in the middle of the shift change, and several guards were chatting together.

Shen Xiaoxiao stepped forward and briefly described Su Ye's appearance and characteristics, and asked if they had seen him.

"Are you talking about the kid who went to the mangrove forest?" One of them asked.

That person had some impressions of Su Ye, when he was on duty this morning, there was a stunned kid who came to ask him how to go to the Mangrove Forest.

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Little girl, are you going to find that kid?" The guard looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, who was half old, and kindly persuaded him: "Little girl, that place is very dangerous, it's better not for you to go, if you don't know, what kind of place is the mangrove forest, you can go back and ask your family." ”

"I know it's dangerous, can you tell him he's going in that direction?"

"Little girl, that place is really dangerous, I once saw a strange person, who came back from where only half his life remained." The guards persuaded again.

"I know, but he's my brother, and I'm a relative of him, and he's also going on an adventure for me, and I have to get him back."

Shen Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart, how dangerous her mangrove forest was, if she usually wouldn't go.

However, half of Su Ye's adventure this time was also for her, how could she sit idly by.

"But... Alas, little girl, your brother is going in that direction, so be careful yourself. The guard consciously persuaded Shen Xiaoxiao, sighed, and pointed out to her the direction in which Su Ye left.

"Thanks, I'll be careful." After Shen Xiaoxiao arrived, she walked in the direction pointed by the guard.

The guard looked at Shen Xiaoxiao's back and sighed, he felt that this little girl was going to be like her brother and had no return, and he felt very sorry for these two children.

But he was just an ordinary person, and what he could do was too limited, so he said hello to his companions and prepared to go home.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he heard the exclamations of his companions behind him.

He thought that something had happened to Shen Xiaoxiao, so he hurriedly turned around and snatched the telescope from his companion's hand and looked in the direction where Shen Xiaoxiao left.

At this glance, he almost didn't drop his jaw.

Everywhere Shen Xiaoxiao passed by, the plants around her seemed to suddenly have life, and all the predators lurking around her were quietly killed.

The guard was a little embarrassed, he had just persuaded others, he was really salty and worried about eating radishes.

Whether that kid would survive during the day, he wasn't sure.

However, he was sure that this little girl would definitely survive......

One one

Shen Xiaoxiao walked alone towards the depths of the forest, and from time to time on the road would meet a few people walking towards the safety zone.

Among them, there are also some well-wishers who will persuade her to go back together, the unknown territory at night is much more dangerous than during the day.

She thanked them all, and then continued to walk deeper, and when the people saw that she could not be persuaded to move, they told her to be careful, and they left.

These people, although they are all superpowers, but their strength is not strong, so they dare to stay in the forest during the day, and when it gets dark, they don't dare to stay in the forest more.

In the forest after sunset, everything becomes extremely terrifying, even if there is a little wind and grass, it can make people pinch a cold sweat and be afraid for a long time.

But Shen Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all, since she walked out of the safe zone, she had always had a strange feeling, feeling that the plants around her, as if there were life, had been guiding her in a certain direction.

If she intended to go another way, the plants seemed to know her intentions, and many vines grew in advance to block her path.

After trying several times in a row, she was blocked by vines, so she had to give up and follow the direction of this plant, hoping that she could meet Su Ye on the road.

However, imagination is always beautiful, Shen Xiaoxiao has come this way, except for the people she met in the periphery at the beginning, she has not even seen a living thing.

All the way to the end, only a huge ancient tree was waiting for her.

"Greetings, lord."

The branches of the big tree moved, and an old voice sounded from Shen Xiaoxiao's head.

"The lord is calling me? I've awakened an ability? Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the big tree in front of her, but she didn't expect that the tree in the last days could actually speak.

"Yes, my lord."

"Is there such an ability?" Shen Xiaoxiao was puzzled, she couldn't find anything in her memory, any related abilities.

In her memory, there were both elemental and non-elemental abilities, and there was a lot of diversity, none of which were related to lieges.

"Everything in the world has the potential to become a lord, but it is only after the death of the previous lord that the new lord will awaken." The giant ancient tree paused, and then continued, "In the past hundred years, you have been the first human to awaken. ”

Everything can become a lord, but this last day has been hundreds of years, and she is actually the first human to awaken, and the faces of human beings have been black in these hundreds of years......

"And who was the lord before me?" Shen Xiaoxiao was suddenly curious about what kind of animals and plants the lord before her would be.

"This ......"

"If it's inconvenient to answer, forget it." Shen Xiaoxiao saw that Gu Shu hesitated, thinking that she had asked a question that should not be asked, so she hurriedly replied.

"The last lord was an ancient tree, named the ancient lord, who has been guarding us for a hundred years, but it was split by lightning last night......" The ancient tree hesitated for a moment, but still replied.

“……”

Now it's Shen Xiaoxiao's turn to hesitate, the former lord was struck by lightning last night? She happened to have crossed over last night, and by chance she had become the new lord.

The old lord was struck by lightning, could it have anything to do with her......

"The life of all things has an end, please don't be sad, lord." After finishing speaking, one of the branches of the ancient tree hung down in front of Shen Xiaoxiao, and a fruity brown fruit was born, "Please bring this with you." ”

"What is this? Give me food? ”

"You take it back and plant it, and it will help you a lot." If the tree had eyes, he would definitely give Shen Xiaoxiao a big roll of his eyes now, "If you need anything in the future, you can contact me through it." ”

Hundreds of years have passed, and human beings still only have food in their minds, and there is really no growth at all......

"Okay." Shen Xiaoxiao put away her things and was about to leave, when she suddenly thought of why she went out this time, "By the way, can you help me find someone?" ”

"Your lord, please give your orders."
