After ending the interrogation of Stein, Song Ziyu focused on Wu Yao again.

Compared with the secret of Stein's guy, Song Ziyu is more interested in Wu Yao.

In this post-apocalyptic wasteland, many things are beyond the scope of human common sense, such as Stein, who is like a zombie, as long as he is not fatally injured, even if he eats the blow of dozens of bullets, he is still alive.

But Stein's mutation is still within the acceptable range of his mind.

In contrast, Wu Yao's state is a little unacceptable to Song Ziyu.

This guy is not so much a complete human as half human and half plant.

Song Ziyu remembered the grafted plants that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences saw, especially the peaches grafted on the plum tree, which were nondescript and similar to Wu Yao.

Song Ziyu tried to communicate with Wu Yao, but this guy's mouth was very tight, unlike Stein, who was willing to cooperate and explain everything.

In the end, Song Ziyu, who had found nothing, could only shift his attention to Li Xia first, intending to find a breakthrough from Li Xia.

After experiencing this life-and-death battle, Li Xia's spirit broke down a little, and he didn't seem to have eased up.

Hearing Song Ziyu's question, Li Xia recalled for a while before explaining: "The holy tree under the Wensong settlement has existed for a long time...... At least dating back to before the Cataclysm, and as for how long it existed, there is no record of it, and we don't know, so I can only tell you what I know. ”

At that moment, Li Xia told everything he knew.

Originally, the Wensong settlement was a settlement established by the ancestors of Wu Yao and Wu Xiaoqing.

For a long time, this settlement was in the hands of the Wu family, and Li Xia's own family was Wen Song, who fled later.

"At first, our family didn't know what the Wu family was doing, but they seemed very mysterious." Li Xia recalled: "I didn't know until I married Wu Xiaoqing that they had been conducting a great study handed down by their ancestors. ”

"Great? What's great? Song Ziyu's heart was pounding, do these people call this great?

But in any case, Song Ziyu felt as if he was about to find out the secret of Wensong's settlement.

"What are they working on?" Song Ziyu asked.

Li Xia looked at the baby in his arms and said, "Don't get me wrong, they didn't do anything harmful...... They just want to purify the wasteland. ”

Song Ziyu couldn't help but be stunned.

It's no secret that the wasteland is polluted, but it's not easy to purify it.

Li Xia continued to explain: "The tree you saw in Wensong is actually not like this, after several generations of improvement by the Wu family, the habits of the sacred tree have been very mild, and with the purification power of the sacred tree, we have cleared a piece of soil that can be cultivated. ”

"It is precisely because of the existence of this pure land that Wensong has his current reputation and development foundation."

When Li Xia said this, a sneer came from the trunk of the locomotive.

"You guy just picks up nice words, so what is the price? What is the cost of purifying the soil? Wu Yao's voice was full of mockery.

Li Xia's face changed sharply when he heard this, and he yelled at the trunk: "You traitor, what price are you embarrassed to say...... The mistakes you've made are bigger than the cost you've paid in the Colony over the years! The settlements are ruined, and so are the sacred trees! ”

Wu Yao scolded coldly: "You neuropaths, you can actually have faith in a man-eating tree, it's really cheap!" Li Xia, you soft egg, have you forgotten that your old lady was sacrificed to this tree? ”

Li Xia's face was extremely pale, and Wu Yao's scolding voice was even higher-pitched: "Every inch of land that evil thing purifies, it will eat a person as a nourishment, and this is the price!" And the purification is not permanent, and the maintenance requires sacrifice! ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Jian, who was driving, accidentally shook his hand and turned off the locomotive.

"I got out of the car to smoke a cigarette and had an urgent need to urinate." Tang Jian jumped out of the car as he said with a sullen head, and Song Ziyu could obviously feel that the old hunter's hands were shaking.

Song Ziyu opened the trunk, took Wu Yao out of the flower oilcloth, and then asked, "What did you just say?" Make the words clear. ”

Wu Yao said with a hideous face: "What can I say clearly, that tree can indeed purify the soil, but the range that can be maintained is also limited, in order to ensure the vitality and purity of the limited soil, it is necessary to continuously feed the tree!" My mother, the former head of the Wensong settlement, volunteered to show up and eat the tree! And Li Xia, your mother, your aunt, and your grandmother were all eaten by that tree! ”

These words were so loud that Li Xia was speechless, and even a little ashamed.

And Song Ziyu, an "outsider", heard these words, and couldn't help but scold: "The people in your settlement are all fucking insane!" ”

At this time, Wu Yao obviously came to his senses, and continued to roar: "I left the Wensong Settlement because I saw through the essence of this settlement, you are a group of animals raised by that tree...... It's ridiculous that you still believe in that evil thing. ”

Wu Yao's scolding attracted a large number of survivors from the Wensong settlement, and these survivors were still ignorant at first, completely unaware of the truth.

But hearing Wu Yao's words, many people reacted.

"I'll just say how my wife disappeared inexplicably, I thought I eloped with the old man next door......" One of the survivors suddenly howled and cried.

Another survivor also exclaimed: "And my mother, many years ago, when she fetched water from the well, she disappeared in the blink of an eye, could it be that she was eaten by the holy tree?" ”

Many of the Wensong survivors reacted.

Everyone finds that their relatives and friends have more or less disappeared over the years.

Now that everyone has finally woken up, their attitude towards Li Xia has instantly become very bad.

Some of the not-so-good-tempered survivors even wanted to hit someone......

Fortunately, Song Ziyu is in charge!

Song Ziyu held a gun and shot a shuttle bullet at Tianyi.

The violent gunfire silenced the crowd.

Song Ziyu ordered his subordinates to disperse the survivors, while he stared at Li Xia and Wu Yao in front of him, feeling that there were no good people in these guys!

Alas.

In the adult world, there is no real sense of right or wrong.

……

Finally, the convoy continued to move slowly, Song Ziyu looked at the baby in Li Xia's arms, and couldn't help asking, "Say, is this the case with this baby?" ”

This is the last secret that Song Ziyu cares about.

Not only Song Ziyu, but even Wu Yao in the trunk straightened his ears.

When Li Xia heard this, he knew that he couldn't prevaricate, so he could only sigh and say: "Actually, it's not just Wu Yao, an outsider, who feels unyielding to fate, we are also trying to get rid of the enslavement of the Holy Tree to us...... It's just that we went the other way. ”

Li Xia said: "After more than 20 years of research, Xiaoqing finally succeeded in extracting the core active cells of the sacred tree, and then implanted these active cells into the embryo, and then completed fertilization, and he was born. ”

While speaking, Li Xia looked at the child in his arms dotingly.
