Volume 1 Wilderness Chapter 43 Hope
The two of them looked at the sound with alert eyes, and it was on the front of the trunk, behind the roots that had wrapped the metal in the first place.
"Little brother, don't panic! I'm dying too, and I can't hurt you...! ”
Ouyang Mu and the others boldly walked over there, brushing aside the roots that coiled around the main trunk, and a face appeared in front of them.
Ouyang Mu looked slightly stunned!
Because he saw that a body hidden under the main trunk was now pierced by countless flower stems, and it was entangled, and only its head was exposed.
This person's face was a strange grass green, but looking at his age, he was between thirty and forty years old, and at this moment, he was smiling at Ouyang Mu and the others.
"You... Is it human? ”
Ouyang Mu was puzzled, this looks like a human being!
But how did he survive?
"Hehe... Little brother is really good at laughing, I'm not a human being, how can I have a human body! ”
"What's wrong with you? What happened? ”
"Alas... It's hard to put into words..."
Immediately, the man named Hobben introduced his tragic experience in a flat tone.
It turned out that he was a scientist more than 20 years ago, and their team detected an alien meteorite here, so they secretly came to look for it, but they encountered a full six or seven trumpet flowers.
There was a fierce battle between the two sides, and although the trumpets had not been mutated for a long time, they had the advantage of breaking his ranks.
In the end, there was only one Trumpet Flower left, and he was the only one left in his team, he was a scientist with no fighting skills, and he thought that he would soon receive a boxed lunch.
But I didn't expect to be dragged into the ground by the trumpet flower, and became its parasite, and I was parasitized by the trumpet flower while absorbing the nutrients provided by the flower stem.
Huo Ben also told Ouyang Mu a terrifying secret, this trumpet flower parasitized itself, not to absorb itself, but to evolve, in order to use the human brain's understanding of things to evolve itself.
This made Ouyang Mu think about it and be terrified, is the evolution ability of plants so terrifying? Intelligence has actually developed to the point where it knows how to use humans to evolve?
"How do I know if what you're saying is true or false?"
Ouyang Mu must have doubts, maybe all this he experienced was done by this man!
"Hehe~! I know you don't believe me, but my lab notes are still there, you can take a look! Moreover, I'm dying, there's no need to lie to you...! ”
As he spoke, he motioned for Ouyang Mu to find his notes...
Soon, in a crevice in the trunk, he found the scientist's experimental notes.
Probably flipping through it, the record is correct, and it should prove that what this person said is true.
"In that case, why didn't you stop the attack before? Why is there a voice at this time? ”
Ouyang Mu was puzzled by this.
"While the mutant trumpet flower is alive, my consciousness cannot appear, and all my thoughts are controlled by it! Oh, human! He claims to be intelligent, but he knows nothing about nature..."
Hobben spoke, his tone turning to mumble.
"I'm dying anyway, and I'll tell you a secret at the end, which is also the discovery of my research on trumpet flowers over the years, the evolution of animals and plants in the wilderness, and the phenomenon of human intervention...!"
After finishing speaking, Huo Ben let out a sigh, as if he had relieved the pressure in his heart, and the whole person suddenly regained some glory, and his grassy face became a little brighter.
But at this moment, Ouyang Mu suddenly felt a slight sinking in his heart, and a pressure was transferred from Huo himself to him, and Ouyang Mu couldn't help but look serious!
"Little brother, I'm sorry! This secret may make you feel stressed, but I can't help it, I'm dying, so I can make the last contribution to humanity! ”
Ouyang Mu suddenly stood in awe, he probably flipped through his notes just now, this scientist's life has been to work hard to restore the old days of mankind, but the encounter is so miserable, and no one knows.
"Senior, it's okay! I'll pass on this secret for you! ”
Ouyang Mu used honorifics, for this kind of person who was born ordinary, but his life was extraordinary, he couldn't help but disrespect himself!
"That's it! I'm going to die! Send you up, or I'll collapse as soon as I die!" ”
When the words fell, I saw that the two vines that had fallen to the ground suddenly flew again, but they were not so agile compared to the original!
"By the way, I almost forgot...!"
Just as the vines were about to roll up Ouyang Mu and the others, Huo Ben suddenly spoke.
Ouyang Mu cast a puzzled look...
"Little brother, you are also destined, you go and break open this trunk, there is something in it, it can be regarded as a gift for you!"
Ouyang Mu was puzzled, and slashed at the position that Huo Ben was pointing at, and after three or two strokes, blood-red juice flowed out.
Ouyang Mu continued to swing his knife and slash, and only then did he stop his movements when Huo Ben said something to stop it.
"See that little turquoise vine?"
Ouyang Mu looked, and sure enough, in the center of the main trunk, in a piece of blood-red juice, a section of turquoise vines less than an inch long was impressively listed.
This vine looks crystal clear, with tiny and tender spikes, which looks very delicious!
"This is the essence of Trumpet's life, as for the effect, you go back and study it slowly! Now I'm sending you out..."
Then the two vines rolled up and headed upwards...
"Senior! Can I get you out? ”
Ouyang Mu shouted loudly, he suddenly felt that this was very pitiful for his seniors, and he really rescued the other party!
"Go, little brother! I'll die the moment I leave the vine, and if you have this heart, I'll be satisfied! Good bye~! ”
Ouyang Mu suddenly felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and at the moment when he was about to enter the roof of branches and leaves, he said softly in the direction of Huo Ben:
"Thank you, senior! Good bye~! ”
Then it sank into the mud!
On the side of the ground path, Ouyang Mu and Qian Yu were covered in mud, and the two of them quietly looked at the two vines in front of them, they seemed to be waving goodbye, and gently swayed their bodies at the two, and then slowly sank into the swamp and disappeared!
Ouyang Mu felt that it was a little unreal, when they first came, they didn't share the sky with the vines, but at this moment, they were sorry for the vines!
After a while, another violent tremor came...
I saw that the trumpet flower suddenly began to sink into the swamp, and with the sinking of the trumpet flower, its original location suddenly collapsed in a large area, and tens of thousands of tons of silt fell to the ground in an instant...
Ouyang Mu vaguely seemed to hear a sigh:
"Alas! I'm not reconciled~"
Ouyang Mu was silent!
What can I do if I am unwilling, in the face of powerless death, no matter how unwilling I am, I can only suffer silently!
He didn't speak, he just held the turquoise vine in his hand tightly, and the spikes pierced the palm of his hand without noticing.
Looking at the collapsed pit, slowly filled by the surrounding silt again, Ouyang Mu tried his best to remember this place.
He named the place: Hope!
Here is a hope for mankind, a hope that has fallen!
Seeing that Ouyang Mu was stunned and didn't speak, Qian Yu didn't bother, just quietly accompanied him in a daze.
After a while, Ouyang Mu slowly came to his senses, he wiped a tear from the corner of his eyes, turned back to Qian Yu and said:
"Let's go, Qianyu, let's go home!"
After speaking, he clenched his fists and took the lead in walking forward, followed by Qianyu.
The wind dried the mud all over the body, and also dried the moist heart.
……
When he first came, Qianyu and other five homeless people took turns to carry him, and he galloped for a whole day and night, from Lee's laboratory to the Dono power station, the whole journey was nearly 2,000 kilometers.
Ouyang Mu's feeling towards the wanderers in his heart had completely changed, without their best efforts, he would not have been able to reach Dorno alive.
At this moment, on the ruins of the Li Laboratory, he bowed deeply to Qian Yu:
"Qianyu, thank you, thank you partner!"
Qian Yu looked at him stunned, obviously didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't explain too much, walked up and gently hugged Qian Yu, and then walked towards the place where the pickup was hidden.
Qian Yu followed behind him in a daze, staring at Ouyang Mu with red pupils, and he didn't know what he was thinking!
The thick layer of soil on the pickup truck has accumulated for more than two months, and the body is still coquettish!
Seeing that the amount of oil was only a little bit, he walked towards Lee's laboratory again, and it was because there was no oil that he gave up the pickup truck and walked forward.
He remembered seeing the stored fuel in Lee's lab before, and he didn't know if it was still there.
Continuing to follow the old road, Qianyu still followed herself, persuaded many times, and no one responded, so follow it, and she didn't miss a bite!
The lab is still in shambles, and it seems that the Lee family has given up here!
Also, important facilities and energy systems have been destroyed by Ouyang Mu, and it is better to repair them than to rebuild them, so the Li family decisively gave up here, and this place has been exposed, and it is not suitable to continue to be a secret laboratory.
When he came to the laboratory where he had taken the black beads, Ouyang Mu stopped.
As for the black bead, he still didn't understand what its function was, but he saw that the Li family used it as some kind of energy source.
But he always felt that this usage was wrong, and he couldn't say where it was wrong, so he needed Lee's information.
Looking at the extent of the damage here, it is obviously unlikely that you can collect information, so you will revisit the place with the mentality of giving it a try.
The computer fell to the ground, and the test bench and various equipment also fell to the ground, scattered, in this case, even if there was data, it would have been ruined long ago!
Ouyang Mu shook his head and prepared to return, not wanting to waste time on useless work, but just as he passed by a desk, a metal object caught his interest.
This is the office of the woman named Mumu.
Ouyang Mu took a closer look, it was a dusty hard drive, only the size of an index finger, and a cartoon doll hung on it.
I picked up the hard drive and wiped it, to see that the texture was still intact, and I didn't know if there was anything I wanted in it, so I took it away first.
So I tossed the hard drive in my pocket and continued to look for fuel.
On the way, passing by a dormitory, Ouyang Mu thought about it and ran in under Qianyu's puzzled gaze.
After a while, he walked out with a set of women's clothes, shoes and socks, although the two of them were now clean, Qianyu was still wearing only his coat.
It is indeed eye-catching, but now that it is approaching the human gathering area, there will be more people in the wilderness gradually, and he doesn't want Qianyu's body to be appreciated by others!
Chiha: Oh tui! Man...!
Qian Yu changed clothes and still didn't hide from Ouyang Mu, she cleaned herself up, but she didn't know how to wear pants herself, Ouyang Mu had to close her eyes and blushing to help.
The touch of his fingertips told him: Don't make mistakes! You can't be a beast!
But the desire in his heart tempted him: touch it, touch it, and it won't be anything!
