Big Potato

The truth that had been confusing from the beginning finally revealed its final veil and was brutally exposed to the three of them without any cover.

But when they looked at the people sleeping all over the ground, they felt that it would be easier if they didn't know the truth.

Soul evolution is fake.

The real purpose of the aliens is to occupy human beings.

Even the parachute companies that thought they knew everything were deceived by them and became a knife in their hands. Once they were used and blunted, they were ruthlessly abandoned.

The only thing that could stop the aliens from achieving their goal, the Earth, was also blown to pieces.

The shackles that once gathered the wisdom of the previous generation are no longer there. The sinful soil has already quietly drifted to the earth through the air and wind, and it is no longer possible to collect it bit by bit and seal it again.

Everywhere under heaven and earth as far as the eye can see will become a place where aliens will descend.

Perhaps the most magnificent and fierce wars often begin quietly.

Xu Cheng squatted down and covered his face with his hands.

He didn't cry. When a person is extremely confused and sad, it is actually impossible to shed even a single tear.

He just suddenly felt very tired, both physically and mentally.

From the first day he became a policeman, he had a goal in mind. He wanted to handle every case he took over beautifully. He wanted the bad guys to be severely punished and the good guys to be rewarded. This goal was like a bone hanging in front of the puppy, driving him tirelessly and constantly moving forward.

He also always believed that he had achieved this goal to some extent.

Every case he handled was eventually solved, every crisis hidden deep inside was eventually resolved, the smiles and gratitude from the people, the banners and blessings he received from time to time, aren't these bringing him a little closer to his goal?

However, reality finally gave him a slap in the face.

Until today, he realized that although every step he took seemed to be right at the time, when they were put together, they were all wrong. He actually couldn't change anything...

He began to scratch his hair like he had an obsessive-compulsive disorder, desperately trying to recall the scenes that had happened in the past, trying to find the tiny ant hole that had caused the thousand-mile embankment to collapse.

At what point did he start to go wrong?

At this moment, he felt someone touch his shoulder.

He raised his head and saw Luo Tan standing in front of him.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes.

From the first day he met Luo Tan, she left a deep impression on him.

Not just because of her voice, but because she gave people a strange feeling.

Although she would get anxious when faced with urgent matters and would be happy when faced with others' kindness, these emotions did not seem so real to her. She always maintained a vague spectator attitude, and the real her was separated from everyone by a thick layer.

When Xu Cheng heard Luo Tan's voice for the first time, he felt that it was the power of God.

Later, when he recognized the nature of Lotan's mind, he called this feeling divinity.

But at this moment, he saw real negative emotions on Luo Chen's face for the first time.

It was as if the gods who always smiled at the hustle and bustle of the human world stepped down from the altar for the first time and walked into the human world.

Xu Cheng didn't want to see her worried look, so he quickly supported himself with his hands and stood up: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

Luo Chen sighed slightly, and she forced a smile, but her tone was comforting: "Hold on a little longer, let's see if we can find some solution."

Luo Tan indeed felt an unprecedented sense of frustration in his heart.

To be fair, she had not been in the interstellar space for a long time, far less than the twenty years she had spent in modern times.

Sometimes, when she woke up and opened her eyes, she would suddenly feel that she was still in the modern era and had never traveled through time.

However, relationships between people are the most effective means of constructing a sense of belonging, and before she realized it, her mind had already been inseparable from this place.

In terms of deeds and heart, she regards this place as her second home.

But now, no one knows when this home will be destroyed.

.

Half an hour later.

While Luo Chen was looking for documents on the first floor of the laboratory, he met Andre.

They had agreed beforehand to divide up the work and search for clues among themselves. After all, they didn't have much time left and no one knew when the group of controlled people would wake up.

Andre: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Luo Tan looked at Andre's empty hands and shook his head: "I really haven't found any other way."

Andre's voice was a little muffled: "Is that so?" His voice lowered and he sighed slightly: "Now I think that we did our best to protect people from the invasion of monsters, maybe we were wrong."

Luo Tan raised his eyebrows: "Why? Releasing the terrifying creatures and forcing humans to evolve is just a trick the aliens used to prevent us from noticing. Their physical evolution failed, and that's why we were able to detect something unusual the moment they arrived."

Andre shook his head: "But have you ever thought about this? It is precisely because we are not strong enough that we are coveted and invaded by these foreign species. If we can become strong through evolution, then our existence will not be threatened."

He raised his head and said, "I now feel that survival and development are inherently bloody. Either we are eliminated by our own people because we cannot keep up with the tide of evolution, or we are invaded by foreign species. In fact, it is the same thing."

He seemed to be desperate for recognition: "What do you think?"

The expression on Luo Tan's face faded: "This is the theory of survival of the fittest."

"But I don't agree with Darwin, I agree with Huxley.[1]"

“The power of civilization is that we allow not only the fittest to survive, but also the unfit to survive.”

Luo Chen didn't say anything else, she turned and left.

Andre looked at her from behind, and after she walked a distance away, he murmured to himself, "You appear to be indifferent and don't care about anything, but in fact, you are more determined than any of us."

He shook his head and chuckled.

.

Even though they gained nothing, they still had to leave in the end.

Xu Cheng had just slapped a person who was about to wake up and knocked him unconscious again, which proved that they didn't have much time left. If they didn't leave, they might not be able to get out easily.

When Luo Tan walked out of the laboratory, he looked back and complained:

[After being possessed, these people obey orders and do not follow reason. They only know how to fight and kill. They are just like zombies in horror movies.]

Xu Cheng couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He had also watched horror movies and knew what zombies looked like. Luo Tan's interruption relieved a lot of his depression.

【It would be nice if there were plants. 】

There were originally a lot of brick and gravel roads between the buildings of the research center, but after so many years of no maintenance, these roads have become dilapidated, and in many places the dirt roads are even exposed. Green grass and wild flowers grow rampantly on the dirt roads, and there are also some unknown plants.

Luo Tan was walking on the dirt road when he suddenly felt his foot hit something.

Huh?

Luo Chen looked down and found that the "roadblock" was round and growing under a green plant. It looked very familiar.

【Isn’t this a potato? 】

【Why are there potatoes here? 】

Andre and Xu Cheng also came over to take a look.

Andre thought for a moment and said, "When I first came in, I saw a poster introducing the construction process of this place. It seems that before it was expropriated for use as a research center, this was a large piece of agricultural land for growing potatoes."

Luo Chen nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Maybe some potato seeds from that time were left in the ground."

But her mind couldn't help but start to imagine:

[This is a potato! I just saw a zombie, and now I see a potato. What is this? This is plants vs. zombies! Little potato, if you are more motivated, you should transform into a powerful potato mine and kill all the zombies! ]

Xu Cheng and Andre were both confused: What the hell is going on?

They know about potatoes, but what are potato mines? What are plants vs. zombies?

What they don’t know is that

At the same time, right under their feet, dozens of meters underground, some unknown existence turned over impatiently.

Who is talking loudly, disturbing His sleep?

Just as he was about to fall asleep again, he heard another sentence:

[Ah, to kill the zombies, we need Peashooter, Sunflower, Melon, Nut, Cherry Bomb, and a bunch of potato brothers and sisters! Oh, I really miss the happy times when we could kill a bunch of weird zombies just by planting plants. 】

What?

What is this noisy voice saying?

How could He have so many brothers and sisters?

He has been sleeping here for a long time. No matter the voices of human beings, the roar of airplanes, or various strange noises, they have never disturbed His sleep. After all, distance determines everything. It would be strange if He could hear anything through dozens of meters of soil!

But this time it’s really weird!

The person who is speaking is a human, right?

Did she whisper it into His ear?

Otherwise how could He hear so clearly?

But obviously, there was no one beside Him, and the speaker must have appeared on the ground.

.

Just as Luo Chen was immersed in her own thoughts, letting the wild horse in her imagination run wild, a layer of soil suddenly rose up in front of her.

Luo Tan:?

She was unable to dodge and was covered in dirt.

“Cough cough cough!”

“Cough cough cough!”

"That's too much."

When she looked up to find the culprit who had stirred the soil, she suddenly found a one-meter-high potato in front of her?

On the potato's face...if potatoes had faces, they would have two eyes, a nose and a mouth. The eyes were staring at her angrily, and the mouth was cursing.

Luo Tan rubbed his eyes.

What the hell?

Plants vs. Zombies coming to reality?
