Chapter 224: A giant scarlet tree that blocks out the sun! Disaster is coming! It is both a risk and an opportunity!
"Mom, mom, woo woo woo..."
The little girl was still crying and didn't notice the fox-eared girl at all.
The fox-eared girl looked her over. Her body was covered in blood and had wounds oozing blood everywhere.
The injuries were not serious, just superficial, but they looked scary.
After healing, scars will most likely remain.
"Stop crying and open your mouth."
The fox-eared girl looked at the little girl and spoke softly.
The little girl ignored her and continued to cry and call for her mother.
The fox-eared girl had no patience. Her eyes flashed with a charming purple light, instantly controlling the little girl's mind.
Then he ordered in a stern tone: "Don't cry, open your mouth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crying stopped.
The little girl obeyed the command and opened her mouth in a trance.
The fox-eared girl raised her jade hand, snapped her fingers, and shot a pill into the little girl's mouth.
The pill melted in her mouth and instantly healed the little girl's wounds, making her damaged skin intact.
Afterwards, the fox-eared girl spread her spiritual power into the ruins in front, looking for the little girl's mother.
But in just a moment, she found a figure in the ruins.
It's a young woman.
A steel bar pierced the woman's chest and she fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
It won't be long before its vitality is exhausted.
Completely dead.
The fox-eared girl had an idea and created a teleportation circle under the woman, teleporting her out of the ruins.
Then he snapped his fingers again and shot a pill into the woman's mouth.
As soon as the pill entered her mouth, the woman's injuries began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The pale face gradually turned rosy.
He escaped from life-threatening condition successfully.
Seeing that the woman was fine, the fox-eared girl turned her attention to the other people around her.
At first glance, what came into view was a horrific scene.
Everywhere you look there are ruins.
People on Earth were either dead or injured.
Crying, groaning, screaming... and other sounds can be heard continuously.
The fox-eared girl stood and watched quietly for a while, and a trace of pity arose in her heart.
Then his mental strength surged, and a huge teleportation array was generated in the area within a radius of several hundred meters.
Then, with a thought, he teleported all the creatures on Earth on the magic circle to a safe area.
Do all this.
The fox-eared girl felt dizzy and staggered a few steps weakly.
The consumption is too great and the body can't bear it.
Fortunately, there are pills that can relieve the symptoms.
The fox-eared girl slowed down, produced a blue pill out of thin air in her hand, and swallowed it without thinking.
As soon as the blue pill enters the mouth, it turns into strands of blue warm currents, flowing smoothly into the depths of the brain, greatly increasing the speed of mental generation.
Only a few seconds passed.
The fox-eared girl who was dizzy and unable to stand just now suddenly became energetic and all her decadence disappeared.
"Why do you want to save the people on Earth..."
A hideous human face slowly emerged from the giant scarlet tree behind him, and asked the fox-eared girl with confusion in his eyes.
The fox-eared girl did not answer this question, but instead asked: "Why don't I save the people on Earth?"
"Since they're invading Earth, they're naturally going to kill the Earthlings, not save them..."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm different from you guys in the Sun and Moon Holy Land. I've never thought of invading Earth. I'm just taking advantage of you guys to come to Earth to find my bed slave, that's all."
"Whether it's our Sun and Moon Holy Land or your Qingqiu Ancient Mountain, they both represent the source..."
"We, Qingqiu Ancient Mountain, are just a small neutral force with no ambitions. Please don't change our position."
…
Shanhai University.
Family area.
As soon as Lin Zichen returned home, his parents in the living room quickly stood up to greet him and asked him how he and Shen Qinghan were doing and whether they were injured in the earthquake.
"Dad, Mom, Hanhan and I have both evolved to an advanced level. We are invulnerable to weapons and swords. Even if the house collapses, we won't be hurt."
Lin Zichen smiled and said.
Zhang Wanxin rolled her eyes at him angrily, "What a jerk you are! What do you mean by saying even if the house collapses, it won't be a problem? Why are you saying something so unlucky?"
"What my son said is true!" said Lin Yansheng on the side.
Zhang Wanxin glared at him and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm concerned about my son, why are you arguing?"
While Zhang Wanxin was glaring at Lin Yansheng, Lin Zichen glanced at Zhang Wanxin's belly.
Nearly half a year had passed, and Zhang Wanxin's belly was already noticeably bulging, and she was about four months away from giving birth.
A simple family of three will soon welcome a new member.
I don’t know if he is a brother or a sister.
I hope to have a younger sister...
Lin Zichen thought to himself.
…
In the following time, the two families sat together in the living room, discussing with worry the huge scarlet tree that suddenly appeared in the city center.
Lin Zichen didn't discuss it for too long. He just said some words to reassure his parents and quickly left the house and walked towards the rooftop of the staff building.
I thought about standing on a high point and using the [Eye in the Sky] to look at the giant scarlet tree in the city center to see what the current situation is.
When Shen Qinghan saw that he was going to the rooftop, he followed him without thinking.
After arriving at the rooftop.
Lin Zichen jumped and landed on the water tower at the highest point of the family building, quietly looking at the city center ten miles away.
With the help of the [Eye in the Sky], he could see every detail over there clearly.
Giant scarlet trees towered into the sky.
There was a large area of ruins under the tree.
The surrounding area is full of mechanical modified people coming to the rescue.
The scenes right now all seem normal.
But soon, Lin Zichen discovered something wrong.
Such a big accident happened in the city center, why didn’t we see many casualties?
What's going on?
Lin Zichen couldn't figure it out.
…
And over in the city center.
The mechanically modified people who were responsible for the rescue were also very puzzled.
The area beneath the giant scarlet tree was clearly the most severely damaged, so why weren't there many casualties?
This is really a bit weird.
But no matter how weird it is, people are not too concerned about mechanical transformation.
Instead, they were busy evacuating the citizens in the city center to prevent the towering scarlet tree from moving again and causing greater casualties.
"How long until Professor Huang, the xenobotanist, arrives?"
A male cyborg who led the rescue team asked the female cyborg beside him.
The female cyborg replied: "It will take about 10 minutes!"
"Where's the support from the military district?"
"Be there in 5 minutes at the latest!"
"How many mechas can the military district deploy?"
"Six mechas in total, including the Qianzhen, Changzhou, Nanguan, Daoshan, Haiyuan, and Zhanhai, are all ready for deployment and are rushing towards the city center from the provincial military headquarters!"
The female cyborg answered accurately.
The male cyborg nodded, and then immediately led a group of cyborgs to start the rescue work.
…
All the scenes and sounds that took place in the city center were seen and heard by Lin Zichen, who was far away in the family building of Shanhai University.
But he didn't pay any attention.
At this moment, his attention was all focused on the giant scarlet tree that towered into the sky.
The scarlet giant tree is extremely tall, estimated to be over a kilometer tall.
It is twice as tall as the "Little Waist" tower in Changzhou City.
The diameter of the trunk is nearly 100 meters, and the area it occupies is almost equivalent to a standard 400-meter runway, which is quite shocking.
The area blocked by the branches and leaves above is 1,000 times the area occupied by the trunk, reaching 10 million square meters, shrouding the entire city center in a strange scarlet shadow.
Covering the sky and the sun.
Weird and dark.
It makes people feel extremely uneasy.
Lin Zichen looked at the towering scarlet tree far away in the city center with a serious expression on his face.
It's just one tree, but it can actually block out the entire city center.
In his 19 years as a human being, he had never seen such an exaggerated behemoth.
I'm afraid that the Kunpeng in the myth that is so big that it can cover the sky and the sun can only be this big at most.
"Linzi, that tree in the city center is too big. How high-level is this creature?"
Shen Qinghan frowned slightly, feeling very uneasy.
After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, then irresponsibly suggested, "I feel like we can't stay in Shanhai City anymore. How about we take our parents and leave?"
Lin Zichen shook his head and said, "You can run away for a while, but you can't run away forever."
"If Shanhai City is really breached, other places will soon be breached as well."
"Instead of living a short time longer, it is better to stay and protect Shanhai City and deal with the disaster that may break out next."
He had no intention of leaving Shanhai City and wanted to stay and advance and retreat together with Shanhai City.
Or to be more precise, they want to obtain evolutionary resources from the next disaster that may occur and accelerate their own evolution.
Shen Qinghan pursed his lips and said, "But... I think it's better to survive a little longer than to go to the battlefield and face death now."
Lin Zichen disagreed and said, "Disaster is a risk, but also an opportunity."
"The evolutionary resources on Earth are too scarce to meet the evolutionary needs of both of us."
"If we want to increase the speed of evolution, we need to accept challenges, embrace risks, and kill exotic beasts and plants to obtain evolutionary resources."
The appearance of the giant scarlet tree reminded him of the sudden appearance of a large number of strange plants and beasts in Shanhai City, which made him suspect that these three things were the work of the Divine Plant Cult.
He had a premonition that a large number of strange beasts and plants would emerge from the city center and invade Shanhai City.
And these exotic beasts and plants will become the nourishment for his evolution.
"But I think it's better to take it slow and steady. There's no need to blindly pursue the speed of evolution..."
After listening to Lin Zichen's words, Shen Qinghan thought about it and still felt that he did not agree, so he could only say it weakly.
She doesn't want to take any risks, she just wants to live a good life with the people who matter to her, that's all.
Lin Zichen patiently explained to her: "You have to know that time waits for no one."
"The current situation on Earth is visibly bad."
"If we don't evolve into a higher level of life as quickly as possible within the limited time, then when the Earth suddenly and completely collapses one day, we will be powerless to protect ourselves and can only wait for death."
"In order to have enough power to protect ourselves when that day comes, we have to race against time to accelerate our evolution and take slightly more radical risks."
Just as he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket started twitching violently.
Lin Zichen took out his mobile phone from his pocket and saw that it was a notification sent from the school app.
【Urgent Notice! 】
[Students with a level of Common 5 or above, please gather at the gymnasium immediately and wait for arrangements to go to the city center for rescue!]
【No absence without reason is allowed, otherwise you will be held accountable later! 】
[The punishment ranges from minor disciplinary action to expulsion from school and even more serious is imprisonment! ]
After reading these four notifications, Lin Zichen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.
He didn't expect that going to the city center to provide support would be mandatory.
This is almost the same as conscripting men to fight in wars.
It seems that the sudden appearance of the scarlet giant tree has brought about an impact that is much more serious than imagined.
The higher-ups of humanity must know something...
Lin Zichen’s thoughts.
Shen Qinghan, who was standing nearby, also saw the notification on the school app and said anxiously, "Linzi, this matter seems to be more serious than we thought..."
Lin Zichen didn't say anything, but just said: "Let's go, let's go to the gymnasium to gather."
"Um."
Shen Qinghan nodded.
Soon, the two left the rooftop and prepared to head to the gymnasium.
Before leaving, the two went back home to say goodbye to their parents and told them what they were going to do next so that their parents would be informed.
When the parents of both families heard that their children were about to go to the city center for rescue, they were all very worried and asked if they could not go.
Without a doubt, the final answer is that you have to go and there is no escape.
Xu Meng walked up to Lin Zichen with a worried look on her face and stopped, pleading in an almost pleading tone:
"Xiaochen, Aunt Meng and your Uncle Shen only have one daughter, Hanhan. You must protect her for Aunt Meng and Uncle Shen and don't let anything happen to her."
"Don't worry, Aunt Meng, I will definitely protect Hanhan."
Lin Zichen said affirmatively.
After saying this, he and Shen Qinghan didn't waste any more time and left home together to gather at the gymnasium.
On the way.
Shen Qinghan said seriously, "Lin Zi, if you are to be raped and captured by the people of the Divine Plant Cult, I will follow them and I will beg them to capture me as well."
"good."
Lin Zichen didn't offer any comfort, just responded with this one word.
He felt that if he was really captured by the Divine Plant Cult, it would be a good idea to have Shen Qinghan captured by the Cult as well.
To be honest, he was worried about letting Shen Qinghan live alone. Instead of letting Shen Qinghan live alone, it would be better for them to live together in the Shenzhi Sect.
Even in the Shenzhi Sect, as long as he is there, he can ensure that Shen Qinghan will not be harmed.
…
Not long after, the two arrived at the gym.
As soon as I entered, it was empty and there were few people inside.
Only the students' union members came in relatively large numbers.
Obviously, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan arrived relatively early.
"Let's go and wait over there."
Lin Zichen looked around the gymnasium and said while looking at a seat near the window.
Just as he was about to take Shen Qinghan to the window.
suddenly!
There was a strong vibration from the ground beneath my feet.
The ground trembled slightly.
The ceiling creaked.
Everyone present was shocked and looked terrified.
…
PS: I am putting out a bowl, asking for monthly votes and recommendation tickets!
