Meng Qingxiao smiled and said: "Okay, Section Chief Zhang, thank you for sending me over, you go back, just let Company Commander Wang accompany me on the road below, there can't be no one outside to preside over the overall situation." ”

Meng Qingxiao didn't allow Zhang Ying to object, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Company Commander Wang, you send two soldiers to escort Section Chief Zhang, and you have to send them all the way to her car before you can return." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Ying said helplessly, "Okay, then you should be more careful." ”

Accompanied by Company Commander Wang, the three of them all put on radiation protection suits, and then ordered the other soldiers to stay away from a hundred meters away, and only then did they open the box containing the snake beads.

The bead was dusty, the size of a newborn baby's fist, and it was not distinctive, but it contained very powerful energy.

Meng Qingxiao picked it up, put it in a small suitcase that was not protected from radiation, and then walked up.

Company Commander Wang led the way, and they continued to move deeper, and after walking more than a thousand meters, there was no way, but there was a large hole for a person to bend down slightly.

This is the tunnel newly dug by Company Commander Wang, which is a hole-making machine specially transported from China, and there is a soldier at the entrance of the tunnel, who has already put on a radiation protection suit, which was sent by Company Commander Wang just now, and he will follow Meng Qingxiao to move forward.

As soon as they got into the hole, they heard the roar of the machine in front of them, and the four of them walked two or three hundred meters inside, and then they saw the machine, and a soldier driving the machine, followed by a soldier who held a tablet in his hand, and these two people were also wearing radiation protection suits.

Seeing Meng Qingxiao come in, the warrior saluted, and then shouted, "There are still about 338 meters, and we can dig under the main trunk of that mutant plant." After he finished speaking, he showed Meng Qingxiao the screen of the tablet.

Meng Qingxiao directly wanted to come over to check and found that it was a ranging app, with a virtual tree on the screen, and a coordinate, which displayed the distance between this coordinate and the tree in real time.

Meng Qingxiao handed over the box and shouted to the soldier: "Put this thing in the cab, remind the driver to do a good job of protection, if you encounter fierce resistance from the roots, stop digging immediately, don't hurt yourself." ”

Meng Qingxiao just pinched the time, if he came late, when he arrived at this place, this machine would almost have to stop for a while to rest, otherwise, without the protection of snake beads, the roots in front of them would launch a crazy attack on them.

They quickly dug into the attack range of the mutant tree, and everyone's hearts were also nervous, worried that the snake bead would be useless.

But fortunately, the crazy roots did not attack them, even if many roots were cut off by the burrower, it did not resist, but only kept trembling nervously, and then everyone finally relaxed.

Meng Qingxiao also noticed that the roots that were twisted off were different, most of them were normal roots, and a small number of roots had mutated, and there would be red liquid flowing out of them, which should be the blood of the mutant tree.

After continuing to advance for more than two hundred meters, the huge roar suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sound of the machine itself turning, and everyone's ears were suddenly clear.

The driver in the cab turned around and shouted, "Commander, it's dug through, there is a big cave in front of it, and there are many tree roots." He said and continued to move forward, driving the machine into the hole and making way for Meng Qingxiao and them.

Company Commander Wang entered first, followed by Meng Qingxiao, and under the light of the searchlight, they saw the scene inside.

It was indeed as the driver had said, there were many roots, thick and thin, some writhing slowly like snakes, others translucent like real animal veins, and the red blood in them was clearly visible.

It was very humid, and from time to time you could hear the sound of water dripping on the surface of the water, and the mud under your feet was sticky.

They struggled to go seven or eight meters deeper, and saw a large number of things that resembled the internal organs of animals, all of which hung in mid-air, as if the thick roots were nodule after nodule, and the surface was covered with short, fluffy roots.

When the machine stopped, and after a brief adjustment to the ears, another sound was heard, bang, bang, bang...... It's like a heartbeat.

"Looks like we've found the right place." Lian Commander Wang smiled, "This heartbeat is really powerful." ”

At this time, the driver came over and handed over the box containing the snake beads, Meng Qingxiao took it, and said: "Let's spread out and look for it, see where the heart is, the radiation range of this snake bead is 100 meters, but for the sake of safety, don't stay away from me 50 meters away." ”

At this time, the soldier who operated the tablet suddenly shouted: "Commander, I found it, you see if this is the heart!" ”

Still holding his tablet, he waved excitedly to Meng Qingxiao.

Meng Qingxiao walked over quickly and looked at his tablet screen, only to find that this tablet was not ordinary, it seemed to be a medical scanning device at this time, scanning all the internal organs of the big tree into the screen clearly, especially its heart.

Everyone hula gathered around, and what they saw on the screen was a blurry red phantom, but the phantom was beating rhythmically.

"Where is this being filmed?" Meng Qingxiao asked.

The warrior did not answer, but walked forward with difficulty with his slab, until his figure was almost completely blocked by the net of roots in front of him, and he exclaimed, "This should be it." ”

Meng Qingxiao followed, followed the warrior's gesture and looked up, and saw that just above him, there was a huge sphere hanging.

The sphere is over 5 meters in diameter, and its surface is dark brown, similar to the color of earth, but a little more vivid than dirt, and the surface is also covered with fine short roots, like bristles.

"Damn, this thing is a little too big, isn't it?" One of the fighters exclaimed.

Company Commander Wang thought so, nodded and said, "It's a bit ridiculously big." ”

Meng Qingxiao stretched out his hand and measured it, with his current size of 1.88 meters, he couldn't reach it.

"Commander, do you want to touch it, come and step on my shoulder?" The warrior thief who shouted just now was clever, and immediately came to squat down in front of Meng Qingxiao.

"And me, step on the two of us." The driver also hurried over, and the two fighters crouched side by side.

Meng Qingxiao pulled out his sharp-edged dagger and said with a smile: "Then you guys squat, I'm going to come up." ”

"Commander, do you want to cut through this shell?" Company Commander Wang asked.

"yes, how can you inject anesthetics without scratching?"

"Then you rest, you can tell us to do this kind of trivial matter, you want to do everything yourself." Company Commander Wang said with a little dissatisfaction.

The little kitten, who didn't even have the slightest expression along the way, heard this, and immediately covered her mouth and chuckled.

Meng Qingxiao saw it in his eyes, and he was immediately happy, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just watch it next, and I'll leave it to you." ”

Company Commander Wang took out his dagger, and then stepped on the shoulders of the two soldiers, he held the huge sphere with his left hand, tried to press it hard, but did not press it, the shell that wrapped the heart was quite strong, he raised the dagger in his right hand, and was just about to go under the knife, when he heard Meng Qingxiao remind: "Try to be as light as possible, don't wake up this monster." ”

Meng Qingxiao was also nervous in his heart, in case he provoked this big tree spirit to go crazy and attack them desperately, with the position they were in now, it would be quite difficult for them to escape again.

Company Commander Wang agreed and began to cut it, but it took a long time to cut it, and he didn't even scratch a little skin, and he couldn't help crying and said: "Commander, you can't cut it at all, let alone lightly, I can't cut it with all my strength." ”

"You try it with me." Meng Qingxiao raised his hand and handed over his dagger.

Company Commander Wang took it and glanced at it suspiciously, feeling that there was nothing special, just a black piece of iron, and he didn't even open the blade.

"Light, don't be so forceful." Before Company Commander Wang could make a move, Meng Qingxiao had already reminded him again.

Company Commander Wang was very obedient, and he really just scratched it lightly, but then he froze, the shell that he didn't scratch with so much effort just now was really scratched by him with a light stroke.

"Oh my God, Commander, this dagger of yours is an artifact." Company Commander Wang exclaimed.

"It was given to me by your Master Min."

"Commander, he's so generous!" Company Commander Wang sighed, he asked himself if he got such a treasure, he would definitely not be willing to give it away, let alone his own commander, even if it was his uncle and brother, he would not necessarily be willing to give it away.

After the shell was cut, blood flowed out immediately, but it was very little, only a shallow trace, and Company Commander Wang was very smart, and did not disembowel it, but drew three interconnected straight lines, and then pulled off a triangular shell as big as his palm in the middle.

As soon as the shell fragment hit the ground, everyone heard an even more shocking heartbeat, plop, plop, plop...... It's like knocking on their own hearts.

Company Commander Wang involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, through the searchlight above his head, he had already seen the heart inside, it was too big, it was only a circle smaller than this shell, even the 50-meter-old scallop he saw on the aircraft carrier did not have such a big heart.

"Here, put this syringe in and give it a shot." Meng Qingxiao took out a super large needle tube more than 20 centimeters long from the box where he had put the dragon balls before, and the needle was thicker than a ballpoint pen.

Company Commander Wang took it, swallowed his saliva again, and said, "Commander, this thing is too big, I feel that these potions may not be enough." ”

"You inject it first, it's not enough." Meng Qingxiao said, "I specially brought three sticks, and the doctor who gave me the medicine said that it was enough to inject a hundred elephants." ”

"Oh, okay."

Company Commander Wang gritted his teeth, grabbed the big needle and stabbed it in.
