Nonsense, at least the plantation of humans has not spread excessively and has remained within a certain range. And the boundaries are clear.

With a mess of thoughts, I went downstairs with Lu Xiaoxiao. Before leaving, the radio wave girl pointed to the location of the tornado and said loudly, "The smell of the home planet." ”

"Well, and then what?" I absentmindedly perfunctory her.

"I have, the most important thing, ever dropped there." The girl's words were rare and normal, and her face showed mixed emotions: "I didn't find it, it's very uncomfortable." ”

I touched her head: "If you have a chance to escape, I'll help you find it." ”

"Hmm." She nodded her head happily, her black hair emitting beautiful particles in the sunlight.

Back on the third floor, the silent people in the room for some reason sat on the sofa in a daze in a depressing atmosphere. They heard footsteps and looked up. The eyes of the six people were focused on the two of us, and each of them had a different meaning in their eyes.

At least the three new acquaintances looked at me, there was a gap and hope.

"How's it going, have you found anything?" Xie Qianwen asked urgently.

I didn't know how to describe it for a while, so I took out the map and spread it on the table, and casually asked Li Mian and the three: "Have you been to the top floor to check?" ”

"The people around us fell one by one, and then the terrible ones turned into trees, how can we think too much." The boy immediately shook his head.

"It's a bit complicated." I sighed and drew a range on the map with my pen: "What I've seen so far, the people who have produced plants, are basically all within the scope of this circle. There are no problems with the residents outside, and the police are also trying to find a way to rush in and save people. ”

"Great!" Everyone was excited.

But I didn't have the slightest expression of joy, and the uneasy premonition in my heart gradually intensified. I don't know what is behind this strange series of events. It was this sense of location that stirred me upset. I always feel that maybe the development of things is not so simple.

Wu Li looked at the map I sketched with a ballpoint pen in a daze, and suddenly said in surprise: "The disaster is all in the new city of Pigeon City, and there is nothing in the old city." It's weird. ”

China's cities have developed rapidly over the past decade. Almost every city has a new town and an old town. If you don't have a map of the Ministry of Architecture, or if you are not a permanent resident of the city, it is difficult to tell the difference between the two using a tourist map. This Wu Li can say it clearly, and she says it with certainty.

I squinted and asked, "Are you a local?" ”

"Hmm." She nodded shyly: "Born and raised, but a year ago, my family went to live in another place because of my father's work change." This time I came back to see my old friend. ”

"I see." I was overjoyed. After the human vegetation phenomenon a few hours ago, people who know Pigeon City well have turned into potted plants to grow strange purple flowers and huge elm trees. Even if I vaguely feel that maybe the incident may be related to the past of Pigeon City, it is difficult to find someone to ask. Now there is a Wu Li. It is simply a blessing from God, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

"Do you know a lot about Pigeon City?" I hurriedly asked.

"Sort of." She blushed slightly under my direct gaze, and bowed her head slightly: "After all, I have lived for 18 years." More or less, all aspects know a little. ”

Our conversation caught the attention of the rest of the group, and everyone leaned over and listened carefully.

"Can you tell me a little bit about Pigeon City?" I commanded.

"Even if you say that to me, I don't know how to introduce it. Introduce something in general. It's clearly written in every tourist brochure that this guesthouse has that kind of booklet. Wu Li is a little embarrassed, if a person is too familiar with a certain place or other people, he will not know how to describe the object. Is this an inherent psychological barrier and aesthetic fatigue?

"I don't think the tourist office will provide the information I need." I paused and said, "Think about it, if you think about it, there have been any major accidents in the past. Or strange anomalies. ”

Now that I think about it, it seems that strange things almost all happen around the new pigeon city, a large number of mysterious disappearances of human beings, termite riots, strange behavior of creatures, and even the phenomenon of human vegetation only occur in the new pigeon city. Well, the reason must also be in the new pigeon city.

"Nothing special." Wu Li worked hard to dig into the information in the brain: "The construction of the new pigeon city began eleven years ago, and the focus was on tourism at that time. After all, the climate and environment near the pigeon city are not bad. There are no peculiar resources. Speaking of which, this small city is very quiet and there are absolutely no major incidents. Nothing more noteworthy. ”

I frowned: "Think about it again." ”

Until now, her words were basically verbose and had no reference value.

Wu Li floated out of the window, and suddenly sighed: "If you put aside the terrible emotions, the current new pigeon city." It's exactly the same as it was in the past, when there were no man-made buildings. ”

My heart moved: "The same as more than ten years ago?" ”

"Hmm." She nodded: "In the past, the population of the old city was not large, and the new city is a very large forest. There is only one type of tree in the forest, and that is the elm. According to my grandfather, there is a sacred tree in the center of that forest that has lived for an unknown number of years, which survived before the human civilization and has been silently protecting the pigeon city from natural disasters such as floods and winds. Every year, many devotees go into the forest, tie a red silk ribbon around the sacred tree, burn incense and pray for prayers. And every time someone gets married, they will also tie a red ribbon on the branches of the sacred tree to seek eternal happiness and love. ”

She had a look of remembrance on her face: "I have also seen that sacred tree, it is so big that it occupies a small part of the forest. The branches are staggered, covering the sky and the sun, and the trunk of the tree cannot be surrounded even by hundreds of people. Some people say that the sacred tree has grown for one or two hundred thousand years, whether others believe it or not, in short, the moment I saw it, I believed it anyway. ”

No matter how human beings toss plants, we have to admit that plants are one of the main forms of life and the most important link in the biological chain. Without plants, consumer-grade creatures can't survive.

I listened quietly to Wu Li talking about the past of the new pigeon city, and my doubts became even more.

"What about the sacred tree?" I asked.

"Chopped. Just eleven years ago. Due to the needs of urbanization, the mayor decided to cut down all the forests to build houses, hotels and golf courses. The old man in the city vigorously objected, saying that he would be retaliated against by the sacred tree. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come and your support, which is my biggest motivation. )
