"Report!" While several people were having a meeting inside, there was a voice of a soldier reporting from outside.
"Come in." Lao Zhang responded inside, knowing that it was a big deal—because if nothing serious happened, the soldiers would not disturb the meeting room.
"What's the matter?" Lao Zhang asked after the soldiers entered the meeting room.
"The fruit-picking commando you ordered yesterday is back today." The soldier said, and took out a vacuum-packed plastic bag, which was tightly sealed with a fruit. "You ordered that this matter is urgent." , if you pick it back, no matter what the situation is, it will be delivered to you as soon as possible."
"Oh." Stepping forward to take the plastic bag, Lao Zhang nodded and responded to the soldier, "Thank you, let's go out. Call the commando leader over, I want to ask him something."
"Yes, sir." Although it is the end of the world, the basic discipline of the soldiers is still there. After a military salute, the soldiers walked out.
"Didn't you say it won't arrive until tomorrow?" Liu Chang walked to Lao Zhang, looked at the willow fruit through the bag—the red fruit, which looked very much like an apple, but it was much redder than an apple, and it also looked like an apple. More plump and juicy.
"This thing makes me want to eat it. The big willow tree is quite good at styling." Lei Huo walked over as he spoke, took the bag from Lao Zhang, opened the sealed mouth, and smelled it inside—suddenly , a unique fragrance of fruit permeated the entire conference room.
"It's very tempting, for hungry people." Li Qingshui couldn't help but said.
And just as he finished speaking, the guard who had left outside for less than a minute came in with a wounded man in his arms.
"Hello, sir." The wounded's face was livid, and a tearing wound on his thigh was simply bandaged. It was obviously injured on the road and he had not had time to treat it further when he returned to the research institute.
"Injured? Was it made by the willow tree?" Old Zhang asked when he saw the wound of the commando captain.
"No, it was bitten by poisonous insects on the road. There are too many dangers in the jungle. Some soldiers were killed on the road, but fortunately, these things were brought here." When the commando leader spoke, his voice was a little trembling, obviously Enduring a great pain.
"Thank you, I'll treat you personally in a while." Lao Zhang looked down at the festering wound of Commando Zhang and asked, "But before that, I have one thing to ask you, why didn't you expect to arrive until tomorrow?" I’m going back today? Are the branches of the big willow tree already distributed here?”
"Yes, we looked for it according to the route map you gave before, and found that we didn't reach the destination at all, it was green, and then we entered the jungle full of willows, and we saw the fruit you mentioned not too far away. , and then we picked them and brought them back, but on the way back, a wave of poisonous insects suddenly came out of the ground, dragged away a few team members, and bit me by the way."
The commando captain finished the whole itinerary in a concise manner. After hearing this, Lao Zhang nodded and led him out.
"Let's talk first, I'll go and treat his wound, the venom of this poisonous insect is not easy to clean, I'm afraid others can't do it well." Lao Zhang left a sentence and walked out.
As soon as Lao Zhang left, the rest of the people put all their attention on the "fruit" left by the willow tree.
"This thing should be edible." Lei Huo took the vacuum collection bag and took out the "apple" after looking for a long time and found that there was nothing wrong with it. "It's not dangerous. Do you want to see this thing, Mr. Li?"
Lei Huo handed the apple to Li Qingshui while speaking.
Then, the moment the apple's skin touched Li Qingshui's fingers, the apple suddenly opened its mouth.
It opened its mouth—the bright red skin on the surface of the apple suddenly cracked, and then cracked into the shape of a human mouth. Finally, after some juice was squeezed out of the fruit, the structure inside became complicated. After a burst of trembling, accompanied by the juice Under the splash, Apple actually spoke.
"It's not easy. Let's meet again, Brother Qingshui." After the apple grew a mouth, something similar to "tree eyes" grew out of the apple's fruit body. The tree eyes just stared at Liu Chang, "And Liu Chang, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Hmm... Long time no see." Liu Chang looked at a talking apple, and the shock in his heart was incomparable. He couldn't figure out what the "principle" was to make one of his "organs" separate from his body. After that, there are still sensing and thinking abilities, which are beyond the scope of ordinary life.
And obviously, this talking fruit was deliberately brought by the commandos by Willow—everything is under control.
"Oh, I'm relieved to see that you are still here." The willow tree's fruit, without the ability to move by itself, was held in Li Qingshui's palm just like that, so the tree's eyes never left Liu Chang's. face, "Don't look like this when you see me, after all we are all from Kaifeng..."
Snapped! ! !
Before the fruit of the willow tree could finish speaking, Li Qingshui threw the apple on the ground and trampled it to pieces, then raised his head and shouted, "Soldier, clean this place with flames, don't leave any residue behind." .”
After giving all these orders, Li Qingshui looked at Liu Chang, "We can't let him get any more news from us. Liu Shu already knows about your return, so I think he will try his best to kill you next. "
"Damn, he's really well-informed." Not long after Liu Chang came back, he was so "coincidentally" hit by the willow tree. If what the man in the sea said is right, then he is definitely the number one enemy of the willow tree now, the willow tree Maybe most of the human beings would be spared, but he and Li Qingshui would definitely be spared.
"Then what should we do?" As a super-intelligent life form, Liu Shu is definitely the best in the world in terms of swift and resolute action. Once he knows the existence of the target, he will not let it go for a second. If Liu Chang looks out of the window ten minutes later He would not be surprised at all if he saw the branches of the willow tree, or if he met tens of thousands of amphibians at his door.
"Well, come with me." The relatively leisurely atmosphere suddenly turned into an emergency, Li Qingshui took off his Apple shoes, and directly pulled Liu Chang out of the conference room.
"Now I know why the pronuclears gave me this thing." After walking outside the meeting room, Li Qingshui took out the "pebble" that Liu Chang handed him.
