She took the opportunity to unscrew the bottle, and a strong aroma of wine immediately filled the air.

"Here, try this." She gently poured a few drops on the "fro".

The little tree man suddenly froze, then began to sway to the left. The leaves on his head turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, making him look like a drunk Christmas tree.

[Now!] Youyou said anxiously: [Put your finger into its mouth and let it take a bite, then it will recognize you as its master!]

Lu Nange hesitantly extended his index finger, and the little tree man immediately "hold" it gently with his vines, and then - "click!"

The strange touch still lingered on her fingertips, and a vigorous vitality was coursing through her veins.

She stared blankly at the green branch at her fingertips - it was swaying gently with the rhythm of her breathing.

The little tree man rubbed her fingers contentedly, then crawled to her palm, burped, curled up and fell asleep.

[Yes, what's going on? ]

[Share!] Youyou's voice exploded in the sea of ​​consciousness: [You used the tree heart to obtain the origin of wood-related supernatural powers... but this thing] It paused: [It should be an experimental subject deliberately fed by humans and zombies, it can't be...]

"sister!"

"Nan-Nan!"

"Lu Nange!"

...

Anxious shouts came from outside the tree hole, interrupting their conversation.

Lu Nange didn't have time to ask any questions. He took out a backpack from the space, stuffed the little tree man and the crystal core into the bag, and crawled out using his hands and feet.

The little tree man dazedly rolled into the bag holding the crystal core, which made a small bulge in the backpack.

"Gu-chiu!" The backpack trembled as if in protest as she crawled. A tender vine quietly came out of the zipper and rubbed the back of her neck in grievance.

When she crawled out of the tree hole, the vines that covered the sky had lost all vitality and hung limply on both sides of the street.

The decaying plant tissue withered at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Three hundred meters away, Chi Yanzhou and his companions were running towards them, stepping on rotten plant tissue.

Suddenly, at the moment when Gangzi picked up the crystal core and left the body, all the energy of the whole tree was drained.

The branches that the madly attacked suddenly stiffened, and the supernatural power that was still waving in the air lost its target. The fireball and the water column collided with each other, exploding into clouds of misty fog.

"sister--!"

Lu Beiye's roar tore through the sky, and the boy's thin figure staggered among the ruins.

His eyes were red, and he looked ahead frantically like a wounded young animal. When he confirmed that there was no familiar figure—

"Bang!"

He kicked aside the vines that blocked his way and crushed the dead branches on the ground with his soles.

The strands of hair on his forehead were stuck to his miserable face by sweat, but they could not cover his eyes that were about to bleed.

Behind him, more than a dozen figures suddenly changed direction.

Flames were still raging around the burning tree trunk. Gu Qi, He Zhuo and Ji Xian were responsible for putting out the fire.

The survivors who had chosen to stay and help were scattered everywhere to help put out the fire.

"Ano!"

A clear voice came from above.

Lu Nange stood on a cracked tree trunk, with the smoke gradually dissipating behind him.

"Gangzi!" she called softly, and the macaw instantly spread its wings and landed in front of her.

With a sudden flip, Lu Nange had just landed on the parrot's back when the macaw swooped down.

When she landed, before Lu Nange could stand firmly, a figure crashed into her arms.

"Sister is fine." She gently stroked her brother's trembling back, her fingertips touching a patch of cold sweat: "I'm sorry for making Aye worried."

He Zhuo panted and caught up: "Isn't it? Ah Ye ran forward like crazy, with such short legs, we can hardly catch up with our long legs!"

"Ga ga ga!" The macaw flapped its wings on He Zhuo's head.

Lu Nange ruffled his brother's messy hair and said, "Gangzi is right. When our Aye grows up, his legs will be longer than yours!"

Chi Yanzhou handed the telescope to Lu Nange: "The zombies are surrounding us from three directions, 800 meters away. Should we leave first?"

Lu Xici had already half-crouched down: "Aye, come up!"

Just as everyone was about to sprint, a sharp brake sound was heard.

More than a dozen modified off-road vehicles were blocking the intersection, with the scarlet logo of the Jiaye Base sprayed on the car doors.
