Chang'an Base City.
It has been eight days since I saw blue sky and white clouds.
The foggy sky filled the sky, and yellow-brown sand floated over the city.
In a post-catastrophic world, this is completely unimaginable.
The environmental pollution and damage that humans once caused to the world have long since disappeared due to disasters.
The residents of Chang'an City have not seen this kind of environment for several years.
"So this is definitely not normal." Chen Xuehe shook his head and gently shook the glass bottle in his hand, which contained light yellow granular gas.
"After my inspection, these are all normal...sand." Chen Xuehe frowned.
"Is it all normal sand?" The general standing in front of Chen Xuehe was extremely surprised.
"But, there should be no sandstorms in the current environment." Another military researcher nearby did not agree with Chen Xuehe's statement, "There must be something that has not been measured yet."
"Okay, if you don't believe it, then test it again yourself." Chen Xuehe looked calm and not angry.
In front of him, the researcher stared at Chen Xuehe for a few times and snorted from his nose.
"How could I not believe Professor Chen? No one in the entire military region knows your name, Professor Chen." The researcher smiled half-heartedly.
Chen Xuehe raised his eyelids and looked calm.
Then he grabbed the researcher's hair with a fierce slap and pushed him to the ground!
"Don't make me angry!"
After that, there was a flurry of punches and kicks, "I've tolerated you for a long time, do you really think I don't dare to beat you?!"
"Oh, Chen Xuehe, you are crazy! How dare you hit me..."
The general on the side turned his eyes to his nose, his nose to his mouth, and his mouth to his heart, completely pretending not to see anything.
A slightly younger soldier felt that this seemed inappropriate and wanted to stop him. An older soldier next to him took his arm and whispered: "Don't act blindly."
On the surrounding walls, ceiling, and under the desk, golden-backed millipedes with iron teeth crawled out from every corner...
After a rough sweep, there were at least ten of them. These were all leader-level beasts.
Ten minutes passed. The researcher was lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face. His glasses were knocked off and his nose was bleeding. He hummed, "Do you know who my uncle is..."
"Professor Chen, you are impulsive. His uncle is also the deputy commander of the military region, and he happens to be responsible for managing the laboratory." The general sighed: "But there is no solution. Commander Liu has always been enthusiastic about things like this. .." "No need." Chen Xuehe interrupted him.
... ...
black ember forest,
Today is another boring day.
Since the old man died, Heiba felt that every day was boring and lonely.
In the deepest part of the forest, a huge giant black ape monster sat lazily on a thick branch, looking up at the sky.
The plush chin is covered with gray hair, and from the outside it looks like a black ape that has been enlarged countless times.
"Hey." Heiba sighed.
His big hands scratched in the air impatiently, but couldn't catch anything.
How disgusting.
Heiba sneezed, and the choking smell in the air made him a little impatient.
Standing up from the branches, this giant tree with a height of more than 200 meters shook violently, and the leaves fell.
Perhaps because it is often sat on, the leaves on this giant tree are a little thin... and it always feels a little bare.
The guy from the west came over again, and Heiba could feel the choking smell on it, and he could smell it clearly even from dozens of kilometers away.
Since a week ago, that guy has been sneaking up outside the Black Ember Forest and emitting a large amount of yellow dust into the air.
Although I didn't perceive any major harm...but it still smelled very uncomfortable.
Heiba's face was gloomy, and his burly body exuded a dangerous aura like a black diamond.
Boom, jumped down from the branch and strode deep into the forest.
This area is a restricted area of the Black Ember Forest and the core territory of the Lord of Black Ember. No other monsters are allowed to enter.
Come in and kill one.
Over time, no monsters dared to come in.
In the center of the woods is a small wooden house, which is no higher than Heiba's navel.
The wooden walls are of an old style, covered with moss, and the top is somewhat damaged due to constant rain. The top is covered with a wide leaf to cover the wooden house.
This is the wooden house of a forest ranger from the last century. There is a rusty ax hanging on the outer wall of the wooden house. It seems that there is no trace of life. It is unknown how long it has been abandoned.
Heiba stared blankly at the wooden house, sitting next to it, his ferocious face becoming peaceful unknowingly.
The familiar scenery around it made it feel like it was back twenty years ago.
At that time, it was just a little monkey that had just turned one year old. In the woods, a poacher shot his arm with a shotgun and was unable to climb a tree to escape. Lying in the haystack, he watched the poacher's reflection keep enlarging in his pupils. .
"Woof woof woof!"
The rangers came from the other side with their ranger dogs and drove away the poachers.
He was an old man with some gray hair, his energy was bright and his steps were as fast as flying. He was like the wisest old monkey king among the monkeys.
The old forest ranger took it back to the wooden house to heal its wounds and took good care of it, wrapping it with gauze, applying herbs, and taking good care of it. Sometimes it felt that it would be good to stay here like this for the rest of its life.
Later, it was returned to the monkey group. After returning to the monkey group, it often sneaked out from the monkey group to play with the old forest ranger. The old forest ranger was also very happy. Every time it came over, he would conjure good things for it from his pocket. They eat peanuts and become good friends.
Thirteen winters later, it transformed from a little monkey into the king of the entire monkey group.
But when it came over early that morning, it didn't see the old man getting dressed and going up the mountain to patrol the forest as usual. It saw someone carrying a stretcher and transporting the old forest ranger away.
The monkey then discovered that the old forest ranger was too old and could no longer patrol the mountains.
Later, probably how many days passed, until one day, someone carried a coffin from the bottom of the mountain and buried it next to the cabin.
It smelled of the old forester.
Those people just buried the coffin, burned a few kilograms of paper, and left in a hurry, just like when they took the old forest ranger away on a stretcher, they were all in a hurry.
After everyone left, the monkey came to the old ranger's grave and stared blankly at the grave.
It thought of something. It got into the wooden house through the window and found a roll of yellowed gauze and some dried herbs in the room.
You used it to heal me when I was injured. Can I also use it to heal you
The monkey was very happy and smiled like a fool.
"Aw, aw, aw..." The low, helpless ape screamed back in the forest.
Heiba blinked, opened his eyes blankly, shook his slightly confused head, and accidentally fell asleep again just now.
There is a small raised mound next to the wooden house, which is covered with lush shrubs.
"Dong dong dong."
Heiba hammered his chest hard with his fist. This is the forest you want to protect. I will help you protect it forever! This is Heiba’s promise!
