Chapter Seventy-Five: Trees

Out of the conference room, Xu Yingqiu asked directly:

"Do you want to cooperate?"

Li Huixi also nodded directly, but the fox failed to synchronize with her this time, but looked at Chen Chichi, who had no combat effectiveness, for the first time, and then said:

"What do you think?"

Chen Chichi is full of energy now, but she herself knows that she doesn't have any particularly outstanding abilities, and Xu Yingqiu must be Li Huixi and the fox who invited, not herself, so she pretended to be indifferent and replied with a smile:

"I think I'd better go home first."

Several people were silent, agreeing with her intentions.

Xu Yingqiu took out the card and waved his hand, and Chen Chichi was sent out of the underground base and returned to the gate of the fifth middle school.

Chen Chi on the ground was a little disappointed, but he really couldn't help them, and after so long, his mother must have been worried, so let's go home first.

Li Huixi, who was underground, took the card that belonged to her from Xu Yingqiu, and Xu Yingqiu told her:

"This thing is your ID card that can be used to activate your eyes or other devices on your head."

As he spoke, he looked at the fox again, and added:

"Your information is with her, and it's good to go on a mission together."

In the past, the fox would not have any objections to this approach, but this time, she always felt that there was a place in her heart that was not very comfortable.

Inequality......

Li Huixi took the identity card and deliberately glanced at the part about the fox, but there were only a few strokes, writing that she was her own trick, nothing more.

These contents were also in the fox's view, and an inexplicable grievance rushed into the fox's thoughts, but she didn't show it.

"When can I go to find Zhu Ye?"

Li Huixi's purpose of joining the Tripartite Federation is also obvious, she holds a grudge, and she wants to return to that world to find Changli and Zhu Ye and find out about Xingzhou's past.

"No matter what, let me see your abilities first, right?"

After Xu Yingqiu finished speaking, Li Huixi's identity card appeared for the first time in the task arrangement, even if she was impatient, she also knew that this was a test, and it was the only way to do the right thing, and it was just right for the federation to see her ability.

It's just that she was a little surprised that she actually got on the helicopter for the first time, and unlike the group of armed men, several people on the helicopter didn't wear any protective gear, and their looks and identities were different, and most of them could start from their appearances and see their occupations at a glance.

The fox has been sitting next to Li Huixi, wearing her fox mask and her cyan robe.

A young man sat down beside Li Huixi and said in a somewhat frivolous tone:

"It's your first time on a mission, right? Look at your thin appearance, how did you get chosen? ”

Li Huixi didn't bother to pay attention to him, but he was aggressive:

"My name is Duan Jiang, do you know? I won't help you when you ask me to protect you later. ”

Li Huixi pursed her lips, she suddenly had an urge to kill Duan Jiang.

But after all, the first time I acted, I didn't know the means of this federation, and everything was low-key.

Sitting opposite sat a middle-aged uncle and a girl who looked much smaller than Li Huixi.

Duan Jiang saw that Li Huixi had not replied, so he became impatient:

"I said, I'm talking to you to give you face, don't you give face?"

The middle-aged uncle opposite spoke:

"Enough! It's almost there......"

The little girl kept wearing headphones and closed her eyes, and her head was always up.

The helicopter fell down after a jolt, and as soon as it stopped, Li Huixi found that several people were wearing the special eyes, so he also handed one to the fox, and the two jumped out of the helicopter at the same time, and there was a dilapidated scene in front of them.

The village was eroded by the fire, and with the blessing of new eyes, I could see many disheveled, charred and blurred figures wandering around.

"Ghosts?"

"Maybe."

"This eye...... It's so feature-rich. ”

The voice of the heart disappeared, and the footsteps of several people continued to move forward, the task list did not introduce the situation of this mission, and the dangerous situation was unknown, maybe his authority was not enough, or it could be that there was nothing to threaten him here.

But looking at the way Jiang was very nervous as soon as he got off the helicopter, it didn't look like a safe place.

On the contrary, Li Huixi, a newcomer, was put in the front row as a meat shield.

In order to ensure Li Huixi's safety, the fox took the initiative to walk in front of her, and the uncle broke off.

There was a figure in the distance, as if it was greeting them, and when he got closer, Li Huixi saw that it was not a person, or it could not be called a person.

The old woman who greeted them could speak and be emotional, but her skin was like tree bark, and there were even insect nests on her arms, and most of her fingers were like branches, and she couldn't move, and even her roots were rooted in the ruined village.

The old woman explained the situation to them.

Not long ago, a strange disease began to spread in this area, and the way of infection is unknown, but everyone knows that once they get sick, people will slowly become like trees, and what is even more terrifying is that they can retain their instincts as human beings, and will find the nearest human to absorb nutrients.

She was the only lucky one among the patients, who was fortunate enough to keep herself, but her body still uncontrollably turned into a tree, became what it is now, and stood in this position as a "tree person" for more than ten years.

As for the village, later people found that there was no cure for the disease, and the patient's aggression was terrifying, so in the end the remaining normal people threw a fire and burned everything here.

Duan Jiang was very anxious, and after hearing this, he asked:

"I don't care about any of this, what is our job?"

The old woman's vocal cords also seem to be affected by the trees, and she speaks very slowly, but still tries to speak loudly to tell everyone:

"Later, the guys who escaped also began to have symptoms, and some of them have also made some money over the years, so I entrust you to find the source of this disease, cure them, and help those who have died to be freed."

The middle-aged uncle was concerned about the old woman and said:

"How long have you been here?"

"I can't remember ......"

After saying this, the old woman closed her eyes, became almost exactly like a tree, and stopped answering the questions of the crowd.

Although they had no clue, they continued to hurry, and this was obviously just the entrance of a village.

But as he walked, the middle-aged uncle suddenly walked to the front and stopped everyone, with a blackened flower in his hand, and he picked no leaves and held them in his hand.

"It's dangerous ...... here"

After he finished speaking, he pinched the black flower in his palm into ashes, and did not intend to move forward any further, obviously, he had just calculated a hexagram for himself.

Li Huixi didn't bother to take care of him, and walked forward with the fox on his own, and several people behind him also followed one after another, while the middle-aged uncle picked up a wooden stick out of nowhere and drew a line in front of him, and he didn't plan to cross this line tonight.

Sure enough, just a few steps out, and before even stepping out of the middle-aged uncle's sight, several people's feet were entangled in branches and hung upside down, and when the heavens and the earth were reversed, Li Huixi found that if the trees on both sides were turned upside down, they could vaguely see the traces of some people, especially their faces, which were printed on the trunk with a twisted pattern.

The incident happened suddenly, Li Huixi didn't react, and Duan Jiang asked the uncle not far away for help, but the people shook the wooden stick, gloated at a few people, and didn't mean to come.

The fox was not verbose, and while a few people were not paying attention, he simply blurred, and broke the restraints of several people with his backhand, and when he left, there seemed to be something more behind the uncle.
