-------------------After taking a few hard breaths, a gust of wind happened to blow by, bringing with it a strong zombie-like smell that almost made Mido's nose runny and tears almost flowed out.
, she is now somewhat certain that this critically ill tree really has the same disease as the old man she once saw who said the ice cream was hot - Alzheimer's disease.
The critically ill tree didn't realize that he had become a patient of some kind of disease in Mido's heart. He desperately absorbed the air around him that Mido thought was extremely foul-smelling but that he felt was very beautiful.
The branches kept growing, and the sound of bark fibers being stretched out could be heard repeatedly. As the crown of the tree continued to rise, it also continued to grow horizontally. A towering tree rose from the ground. And it seemed like
Still growing.
"I really like this place." The critically ill tree may not be called a critically ill tree now, because he doesn't look critically ill at all. Although his voice is still as old as an old man in his 70s or 80s,
It's full of energy.
"You...you...why did you suddenly grow so big?" Standing in a huge shadow, Mido looked up. He could no longer see the crown of the tree at all. He could only see the straight trunks going up. And that shadow should be
It's the legendary shade of a tree, but isn't this shade a bit too huge?
"Maybe it's because the environment here is better." The old voice replied: "So my growth cycle has been shortened. It would have taken me one to two years to grow to what I am now."
The environment is good? Well, she won't complain about this. If a place full of zombie viruses and stench can be called a good environment, then there is probably no place in the world with a bad environment. That growth cycle, are you sure?
Did you say one to two years instead of one or twenty years?
Mido was silent and didn't speak. She really didn't know what to say. She needed to calm down the thousands of grass and mud horses running through her heart first. The tree spoke again: "Little girl, what's in your heart right now?"
Do you think I'm a psycho?" "No, no." Although her answer was a little guilty, Mido could guarantee that she never mentioned the word neurosis. What she was thinking of was Alzheimer's disease.
"Lying is not a good habit." Mido suddenly felt that this weird big tree suddenly had a sense of wisdom that could understand everything when it spoke. "My name is the tree of life." As he said this, the tree trunk lifted off the ground.
About one meter suddenly became translucent, with green liquid flowing continuously in the trunk. A man with gray hair and an old face suddenly appeared in the translucency. "My function is probably equivalent to that of a city.
Central facilities, in a few days I will take over the resource allocation work of the entire city." The old man smiled kindly: "The reason why I am called the Tree of Life is because the nutrients I need are different from other plants.
The more I like the air, the more polluted the land, the more nutrients it has for me, because my other function is to purify. Like the place where I just stayed, the air is too pure and the land is too fertile, which is good for me.
Those are just like poison."
"Central facility?" Mido's eyes widened, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. There was something that looked like saliva glistening at the corner of his mouth. The reward given by the system this time was too surprising. This was just a moment.
Tree, if the other four trees were also planted in the base, wouldn't it be more developed? "Can you be more specific?" Mido's tone became much more respectful without realizing it, not only because of this tree.
She is very capable and has a lot to do with the image of the gray-haired old man. As a kind-hearted person, she really can't let an old man say bad words.
"Haha, okay, I'll be more specific. It just so happens that I haven't spoken for a long time." The old man smiled heartily, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into piles: "In a few days, my root system will be connected to the power supply of this base.
facilities, water supply facilities and defense facilities,"
"Uh, what's the use?" Mido's brain was obviously not spinning fast enough.
"It's very useful." The old man turned around and seemed to operate a light screen behind him a few times, then turned around and continued: "You can think of this base as a fully automated factory, and I am the central control program of the factory.
, I have no control over the safety of what is transported to where. And another thing is, after I take over, I will leave you with a lot of money."
"How to save?" Mi Duo's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard about saving money, his brain speed increased instantly, and the ox cart suddenly ran out of the speed of a Ferrari.
"Through the analysis of the information collected during this period, it has been found that the coins used in human society today, or what can be called coins, are derived from a type of energy crystal called a crystal core taken out of a zombie's head."
Mido nodded for a while. Let’s not talk about other functions, just collecting information is a formidable one.
"Many of the current power and water supplies in the base and the defensive weapons on the city walls use crystal nuclei as their energy supply, right?"
Mido nodded again. She didn't feel it at first, but now the number of crystal cores that the base has to swallow every day has made Mido afraid to look directly, because her heart bleeds every time she looks at it. It's simply
It's too, too, too brutal.
"After I take over, these crystal cores will be completely unnecessary. I will supply all the energy required for the operation of the entire base." Suddenly, like an old naughty boy, he winked at Mido mischievously, "Does this count as saving money?
money?"
"Forget it! Forget it! Forget it!" She kept nodding her eyes with gleaming eyes. Mido wanted to hug the tree trunk and kiss it fiercely. This bug in the system was so great! She really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times now.
Voice.
Seeing Mido's frustrated expression, Yu Han, who had been silent for a long time, showed an endearing smile.
"Okay, I still have things to do now, you can leave first." I don't know if he couldn't stand Mido's crazy look, so Dashu tactfully issued an eviction order.
After hearing these words, Mido finally returned to normal for a short time, "Well, you are busy first!" In order to express his respect, Mido even used the honorific title, "I wonder what we will call you in the future?"
"The children all call me Grandpa Tree. You can call me that too if you want."
"Oh, I know, goodbye, Grandpa Shu!" Waving to the big tree, Mido smiled sweetly. Yu Han took her hand and bowed slightly to the huge tree of life: "Grandpa Shu,
The base will trouble you."
Nodding, "It's not troublesome. You always have to find something to do so that you won't be bored. Two good children must stay so happy, you know?"
Mido's spots were a little hot, but Yu Han smiled and held the catkins in his hands tighter. Yes, he was very happy, and he would continue to be so happy.
During dinner, Mido finally understood what the Tree of Life's phrase "The children all call me Grandpa Tree" meant, because all the plants in his house expressed their excitement at the arrival of the tree.
Little Pea: "Grandpa Tree! Grandpa Tree! I actually saw Grandpa Tree!"
Duoduo: "I want to take a photo with Grandpa Shu, and I want to listen to Grandpa Shu telling stories!"
Tao Xiaoni: "I didn't expect that I could actually see Grandpa Shu."
Teng: "Grandpa Tree!" This is the first time I heard Teng say more than two words since I met Teng! This shows how lethal Grandpa Tree is to plants.
Sakura maintained his usual venomous tone: "I didn't expect that the system actually gave you Grandpa Tree. Are you sure you didn't use the back door?"
After several plants expressed their opinions one after another, they didn't even bother to eat dinner. They left in pairs one by one, Little Pea and Duoduo, Vine and Sakura. As for Tao Xiaoni, that Chen Qiaochu was waiting for her outside.
.A few people seemed to have gone to watch their idol "Grandpa Tree".
So only Mido and Yu Han were left in front of the dinner table, staring at the sumptuous dinner. Originally, the base had such a powerful god, so Mido specially prepared a large table to celebrate. Who would have known?
Those unreliable people actually all ran away, Grandpa Shu who was watching was the second one, and Ben and I were actually dating in the name of watching!
"There are only two of us left." Mido looked at the large table of dishes with some frustration.
Yu Han smiled comfortingly: "Wouldn't it be better if there were just the two of us? It's just the right time for two of us to have a good meal together."
Mido thought about it again, and it was right. It seemed that the two of them had not had a good meal alone together for a long time. Thinking of this, Mido suddenly laughed and started rummaging in the store. After a while, he said: "Hey, buy it."
arrive."
Looking at Mi Duo, Yu Han had a gentle smile on his face: "What good things did you buy?" Mi Duo flashed the red wine and candles in his hands: "We are having a candlelight dinner today."
Lighting the unique candles, Mido took out two goblets from the package, took the opened red wine from Yu Han, and each poured a glass: "Come, let's drink!" The swaying candlelight reflected her
Her face was particularly charming, and she raised her wine glass in response: "Cheers."
"Cheers to time travel!"
"Cheers to the encounter!"
"Cheers to the base!"
Mido raised his glass frequently, and the clear sound of the collision of wine glasses echoed in the room. Mido sometimes laughed and sometimes shed tears. Before his tears were wiped away, he smiled heartlessly and clinked glasses with Yu Han. He didn't have much alcohol capacity in the first place.
She had been drunk for a long time, and was drinking like crazy. She was leaning in Yu Han's arms and talking about her life before time travel. Sometimes she cursed the miserable time travel, and sometimes she was glad that she had time travel, because she had time travel.
She just met him, this man who has always been by her side, this man who has always tolerated her silently.
Although he knew that she was drunk, Yu Han did not bother her to continue drinking. In this tense apocalypse, many grown men could not bear the pressure and collapsed. It was not easy for a little woman like her to survive to this day. She should indulge once in a while.
Quan Dang felt vented, with a gentle smile hanging on his face, and he frequently raised his glass to meet her.
