Yi Chen has been observing the so-called interim head - Wilmer,

Whether it is words or actions, as well as the eyes in various situations, there is a sense of powerlessness.

This sense of powerlessness, he had seen too much in the orphanage before his death,

When many of their peers have received special education and recognize the true side of the orphanage, their originally clear eyes will slowly be eroded by a lightless substance that symbolizes "powerlessness".

until it is completely occupied and becomes [Despair].

"The standard of these gentlemen is not bad in itself, but they don't have the courage to explore...... The situation in the forest is worse than expected.

I reckon that the two squads lost in the forest are the main force of the Blackeye stronghold.

They may still be alive, and if they can be found during the exploration, they should be able to get more information and greatly reduce the time of investigation."

Yi Chen quickly flipped through all the information given by the stronghold in one minute,

As the interim head said, there is so little information that there is not even a word about the situation in the village of Sheporte, the extent of the ashes, and the impact, not to mention the Church.

There are only a few survey reports on the high walls of plants,

Suffice it to say that none of the investigators who entered the inside of the tree wall were able to come out and bring out any valid information.

However, there are a few things worth noting about the plant wall.

[Infinite Growth], [Baby Cries], [Bloody Sap]

These keywords were written down by Yi Chen,

And then it's a look at the rules about the village of Sheporte.

These rules were written by the high-ranking gentlemen of Zion City with foreknowledge powers, and the rules of life were set specifically for a certain area.

As long as you follow these rules in your daily life, you can greatly reduce the chance of getting sick.

It reads as follows:

≮Residents of the Jose Valley should follow these rules in their daily lives to ensure your safety

1. When villagers hunt in forest areas, if the prey (mammals) they catch are pregnant, release them immediately.

If the pregnant prey is dead, burn it on the spot and bury the ashes under the nearest tree.

Remember, you are allowed to bury each tree at most once.

2. Livestock raised in the village need to be strictly divided by gender, and the breeding time can only be selected in the winter of each year.

If the animal becomes pregnant during an inappropriate season, or if it is conceived without contact with the opposite sex, apply the same treatment as in Rule 1.

*Villagers are also required to follow Rule 2.

3. If animals with other biological characteristics (e.g. cows with rabbit ears, pigs with horns) are found in the forest or in their own breeding areas, they should be immediately killed, burned and buried.

4. Each village has only one well, and it is located in the center of the village, and all drinking water sources in the village must come from this well, and it is forbidden to drink water sources of unknown origin.

5. All fruits, mushrooms and other usable foods picked in the forest must be cleaned with well water before eating, and fungi need to be cooked.

It is strictly forbidden to pick fruit from trees where the burned corpses are buried, and it is also forbidden to pick mushrooms that grow in the vicinity.

6. Before midnight, make sure that there is light in your home, such as torches, fireplaces, kerosene lamps, etc., and you need to bring lighting devices if you need to go out.

If you hear a strange noise coming from a livestock pen in the early hours of the morning, do not respond and walk away immediately.

If you notice a creature that doesn't have a light source to greet you, take refuge in your room immediately and lock the doors and windows.

7. Once you find that a villager has not followed the above rules and has behaved significantly differently from ordinary people, please expel them from the village as soon as possible. If necessary, it will be handled in accordance with Rule 3.

……

Looking at these rather strange rules, Yi Chen was reminded of Yinston Cemetery.

"As long as you can follow these rules in your daily life, you can still avoid pathological infection to a large extent.

This is also the fundamental reason why many human towns and villages can still exist more than 300 years after the world entered the "Age of Disease".

The short-term deterioration of the situation in the village of Sheporte is by no means an accidental mistake of the villagers.

It is likely that the intervention of the new church will make the villagers no longer live according to the rules, and even guide them to actively violate the rules, so that the situation here will completely get out of control. ”

When walking in the woods,

Even if you haven't reached the tall wall structure of trees,

Yi Chen could still feel the abnormality in the forest, and he always felt that something was watching him in the gloomy forest.

Moreover, as a 'vegetarian', he has no interest in the vegetation of the forest, and can smell a physiological fishy smell from the lower end of the bark.

The closer he got to the middle of the forest, the stronger the stench, forcing Yi Chen to put on a homemade plant mask again.

After trekking through the forest for several kilometers, we finally arrived at the [high wall] that enclosed the center of the forest.

The degree of shock brought by the closer observation is far greater than the previous view from the cliff, and even produces a sense of biological instinctive awe.

It seems that under the command of a high degree of unity, the thick and huge trunks are arranged in an orderly manner at a spacing of less than ten centimeters, forming a series of [high walls] with unpredictable thickness and a height of nearly 100 meters.

The branches and leaves on the top of it are wildly growing, blocking out all the sunlight that is not too much, and it is pitch black.

Based on the available information,

These trunks are not incinerable, and as soon as they feel the heat of the flame, they secrete a large amount of thick sap to cover and extinguish it.

If the trunk is physically damaged, it will also regenerate quickly with the help of the surrounding trunks.

therefore

The first problem in front of us is "Crossing the Tree Wall"

Since two weeks have passed since the incident, the tree wall has been growing outward, and its specific thickness has already exceeded 100 meters...... There is a high chance that you will be trapped in a tree wall while walking through it.

This is also the main reason why the gentlemen in the stronghold have lost the courage to explore.

And there's another key point, just like the information is recorded.

The two men standing in front of the high wall of trees heard the faint cry of a baby.

When Yi Chen reached out and touched the surface of the tree wall, the sound was immediately amplified several times...... It seems that the baby's voice is coming from the inside of the tree trunk, and the environment of the dark forest makes people's backs chill.

Kim on the side also touched the surface of the trunk curiously.

"Oh? There are really children crying, is it the effect of ashing? What do you think of letting me blow up a path to the inside? ”

Between the words,

Strands of red energy were in the form of silk threads, transmitted from Jin's fingers to the trunk, and a red lotus-like pattern formed on the surface of the trunk, which could explode at any time.

Syllable!

Yi Chen gently stretched out his hand and stuck it on the back of Jin's hand, very gently stopping this behavior.

"Kim, there's no need to waste energy on this kind of thing, and we don't know the exact thickness of the tree wall, so such an explosion will consume your energy for no reason...... Let me do it. ”

Yi Chen said it very tactfully, in fact, what he cared about most was 'striking the grass and startling the snake', like Jin, a direct explosion to open the way, it was very likely to lead out all the dangers inside.

card ~ open the lock of the suitcase,

Take out a pair of white gloves painted with a green circle,

Once put on, gently tug on the corners of the glove with your index finger and thumb to make it fit perfectly on your wrist.

As the palms of the left and right hands lightly pressed against the surface of the adjacent tree trunks, the formation on the back of the glove lit up with a glowing green light.

The intelligence attribute reaches [5], and with the spellcasting glove made of "Gentleman's Skin", Yi Chen can directly intervene in such a tree wall structure.

"The Great Age of Genes"

"Plant Manipulation"

The thick trunks began to spread, and the intervals were gradually widened until they reached the size of a gap that allowed a person to pass through.
