Chapter 144: I feel like I am disrespecting him by standing here! Please vote)(1/3)
The carriage of this train is completely closed, and you can't see the scenery along the way, which makes the atmosphere in the carriage rather dull.
There were no stewards pushing carts to sell goods, just a group of prisoners and some prison guards.
There are no other stops along the way, only the final place of trial, Paradise.
All the Chosen Ones knew nothing about the paradise, so they began to get some useful information from nearby prisoners.
That is to say, ask where the paradise is and what dangers you will encounter.
During this period, Zhang Yangqing saw a 'poster' posted on the train.
It looks like an advertisement for a tourist attraction. The poster looks to be old, and the writing on it is a bit muddy.
However, the picture can be seen clearly. There is a giant tree towering into the sky on the poster.
Compared to it, other trees are as short as grass.
At that time, the sky here seemed to be still blue and the sunshine had not disappeared.
Logically speaking, this kind of train generally does not have advertisements. Since it appears, it means that it may be a hint.
Ever since, Zhang Yangqing asked the little follower She Tong next to him: "Where is that place?"
The little follower with snake eyes looked in the direction of Zhang Yangqing's finger.
He saw something he had only heard of in legends before.
After sorting out his thoughts, Snake Tong's little follower said: "Boss, that tree is called the Tree of Origin, which is said to be the source of all power."
The little follower Shetong began to talk about the information contained in the poster.
According to him, this tree of origin stands at the end of the primeval forest and is thousands of meters high.
There was still such a thing as the sun in the world at that time.
But little follower Snake Eyes has never seen such a thing as the sun.
It is said that a group of human adventurers discovered the Tree of Origin, and they were shocked by the size of the tree.
Then, under the Tree of Origin, it became a gathering place for humans.
People began to build villages here, and then slowly developed into towns.
In the beginning, the humans living here would worship the Tree of Origin and pray for its blessing.
Perhaps they were too pious, or perhaps due to gravity, fruits fell one after another from the tree of origin, which are the so-called color fruits.
After the humans living here picked up the fruit and ate it, their bodies underwent special changes.
Some have activated powers, some have gained the power of beasts, and some have even changed their species.
At first, everyone was panicked, thinking that this was a devil's fruit, and those who ate it would become neither humans nor ghosts.
However, gradually, these mutated humans discovered that although they lost their normal appearance, they gained superhuman powers.
They even feel that they are above human beings.
Once someone realizes this, what follows is endless greed.
Everyone wants to gain power, everyone wants to be superior to everyone else.
After the old rules were broken, order began to break down.
Greed is like a fuse, completely destroying the originally peaceful world.
What followed was bloody war and plunder.
The superpowers under the Tree of Origin also formed their own forces, and the battle for resources began.
This fight is a long time.
Until a sage appeared and he unlocked the secret of the Tree of Origin.
He felt that this was a conspiracy. According to him, this was not the Tree of Origin at all, but a strange carnivorous plant.
It uses colored fruits to induce human war, so that it can eat more meat and gain more power.
At this time, people discovered that the tree of origin, which was originally a thousand meters high, could no longer see the end.
No one knows what the purpose of the Tree of Origin is, but the sage feels that if it continues to develop, mankind will perish sooner or later.
So the sage decided to burn it himself to save the future of mankind.
At that time, the leaders of many forces were furious. They had been fighting for who knows how many years. If you say burn it down, burn it down?
But in the end, the Tree of Origin was burned down by the Sage. According to the memories of eyewitnesses at that time, the black smoke produced by the fire dyed the entire sky black, as if the end was coming.
The Tree of Origin, which was thousands of meters high, suddenly fell down, creating a crack in the entire earth, and the place where the Tree of Origin hit it turned into a piece of scorched earth.
As for why this sage was able to burn down the Tree of Origin, it was naturally because he was the strongest. As long as he made a decision, no one could stop him!
He doesn't need everyone to think it, he just wants to feel it himself.
Without the root of evil, the war cannot continue.
The sage also became the hero who saved the world.
The world is stable and has been peacefully maintained for decades.
But one day, after the sun set, it never rose again.
Those dark, strange plants began to grow wildly, devouring life everywhere.
There is an aura of endless killing and endless killing.
It's like avenging the tree of origin for being burned by fire.
Finally, naturally, this is the information that the Chosen Ones can know now. Human beings in this world can only survive in paradises and prisons, and other places are occupied by strange plants.
When the other chosen ones heard this, they probably knew what dangers they would encounter after going to the paradise, and then they would think of ways to prevent the dangers, and it would be best to find ways to prevent the strangeness from coming.
Zhang Yangqing nodded when he heard this. Since it was mentioned in the intelligence, it proves that this may be the hidden mission of this ghost story world.
However, this is just a guess. Zhang Yangqing can determine whether it is specific as long as he finds something.
Just when the chosen ones were feeling uneasy, the train seemed to have arrived at a station and slowly stopped.
"Are we reaching paradise so soon?"
Greco mingled with the prison guards and carefully observed everything around him.
"It's still early, this is just a transit point."
As an aborigine here, the science geek still has a certain understanding of this place.
Immediately afterwards, the chosen ones followed the prison guards and walked off the train.
There are two roads here. Prisoners and death row prisoners take different trains to their destinations.
It is the fork between the road of survival and the road of destruction.
But the moment the chosen ones stepped out of the train, they were attracted by the surrounding scenery.
Everything in front of me looked so dilapidated.
It feels like an abandoned city.
There seem to be many tall buildings that are beyond the times here.
It must have suffered a devastating blow during the continental war or the battle with strange plants.
So this large area became ruins.
Even so, the Chosen One and the audience felt that the civilization here must have been very powerful in its heyday.
Many of the ultra-era equipment, props, instruments and buildings have become dilapidated, but the exquisiteness of their craftsmanship can also be seen.
According to Shetong's little follower, people used to live here, but a resource war broke out and they obviously lost.
Zhang Yangqing nodded. Human beings are like this. Even in this doomsday environment, they will still fight for survival resources.
Survival of the fittest is what it is.
On the changing train, everyone finally saw the scenery outside the window.
This is a transparent tunnel, and it is pitch black outside.
But through the faint light around the train, we can see that there are many strange trees outside the tunnel.
It was exactly the same scenery as the last time El Greco went out.
These trees are tall and dark, and there is a corpse or bones hanging on each tree.
The black trees fluttered in the wind, and the bones and corpses on the trees began to sway, like puppets on strings, and began to creak.
Seeing this, many of the Chosen Ones felt their scalps numb. Is this the danger they will encounter?
You know, in the botanical garden, any ordinary weird plant can kill them. There are so many here now. If they are attacked, won't they be dead?
The chosen one of the football country was a little worried, but his boss, the prison bully Crocodile Man, seemed to notice it and comforted: "Brother, don't worry, these things look very bluffing, but in fact they are just like that. Wait for my bracelet."
Once it is unlocked, these are nothing."
Although the weird plants are scary, the aborigines of this world are not vegetarians either.
