There were many people standing deep in the branches, and 140,000 people were evacuated into the trunk. The lookout signaled and everything was fine.
Opal took a deep breath and adjusted the anti-gravity belt on his waist. Later, when the rebel army rushed into the city under his feet, he would lead fifty people to jump from branches as high as 100 meters, and use anti-gravity technology to fly in the air. Glide, shoot out the wire rope net at the same time, and use the electromagnetic gun to paralyze the combat power of the invaders.
All the people who follow him to fight are girls.
"Jump." A girl urged.
"Hurry up!" Another girl laughed: "Aren't you a mercenary?"
Opal: "I said so... don't rush it! Let me be mentally prepared..."
Raymond's voice came from the ear button, and asked, "What's wrong? Try the jump and see."
About to jump into the sea of trees from a distance of hundreds of meters, Opal felt an instinctive fear in his heart. He raised his head and took a deep breath for a moment. A death squad member laughed at him and said, "Hey, mercenary boy, what are you afraid of!"
Raymond's voice laughed in his ear: "Are you afraid of heights?"
Opal pressed his ear buttons and said, "I, I... never skipped, let me prepare."
Raymond: "Jump, I'll follow you."
"Kick him down." The daredevil said.
Opal immediately changed his face and said, "Don't! I'll dance by myself!"
A group of girls are counting out loud: "One-two-three-"
"I was born to fly!" Opal roared tragically, spreading his arms and jumping down.
The whistling wind blew against his coat, and fifty daredevils jumped down behind him, the green stri with wings soared in the air, and the night was full of swirling lights, they swept like flying kites. Passing over the sea of trees, passing through the arc route and passing the height of the ambush area, Opal felt as if his heart was floating, and couldn't help shouting excitedly.
"what-"
The ground was getting closer and closer, and he rushed towards the crowd below. Raymond chased after him and ran with the opal gliding on the ground, shouting, "I'm here! Don't worry!"
The moment Opal rushed to the ground, Raymond quickly turned around and turned his chest towards him. Opal opened his arms, and the two embraced each other at the moment of landing. place.
The rest of the death squads rolled vigorously when they landed. They used a roll on the spot to dissipate their momentum, and hula to the sides to find cover.
"Thank... Thank you." Opal did this kind of exercise for the first time.
Raymond said, "Let's try again."
Opal went up the air roots, this time with an electromagnetic gun, and practiced jumping from the tree trunk until the surprise attack during the landing.
After five or six times, Opal learned very quickly, and he could control himself to fly back and forth with both guns, and shoot down with the gun at the same time, and he landed a lot more neatly.
Raymond packed his weapons and prepared to go to rescue the hostages.
"Can you do it?" Opal asked.
"Of course." Raymond put on his fingerless gloves and said, "Wait for my good news, be careful here."
Opal patted Raymond's face, Raymond smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed the back of Opal's head, bringing his head to him, the two pressed their foreheads for a moment, Raymond carried the E7 into the car, the small maglev car was in Turning around in the dark night, he flew into the distance and plunged into the sea of trees.
"You just got married?" a daredevil asked.
Opal came over while inspecting the weapons, and said, "It's not registered yet. The office was not open after the war."
The sky was dark, the night was getting dark, and the light of the fluorescent flowers was much dimmed. Opal found a random place to sit on the tree trunk, waiting for the time to start action. The enemy has not come yet. .
There are many young couples holding hands under the breeze, sitting aside and talking in a low voice. Most of the female Luo Xings are girls, and most of them have been digested internally. There are also girls who are in love with each other, just like many of Lie Xing's mercenaries like same-sex companionship.
Opal looked at them, always feeling that men and women were like different races, very curious.
"Are all of your strong stars married to men?" a girl asked, "Do men and men often fight when they live with men?"
"That's right." A dark-skinned, fit woman took off her hat, shook off her long waterfall-like hair, and said, "Your comrade-in-arms are very attractive, don't you have many lovers? Would you be jealous? "
Opal said shamelessly: "I'm sorry ma'am, you guessed wrong. In fact, he is not as popular as my model among men. I am a beautiful man."
"You don't have the grace of him." A young girl smiled regretfully, showing two small tiger teeth at him: "Not a gentleman at all."
Opal said: "Oh, a gentleman is nothing but a patient wolf. Maybe your aesthetic vision is different. We... uh, pay more attention to external things. Many men don't pay much attention to each other's demeanor, and they are rude when they get along with each other. Men The handsome in the eyes is different from the handsome in the eyes of a woman-"
The sturdy woman said: "So a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you makes a man even more excited?"
Opal said: "But... Maybe, but I'm with him because of each other's... inside, um, that's it."
The girls all laughed and thought Opal was very interesting. Opal asked, "How about you? I think your aesthetics are indeed different from ours, right?"
The strong woman was their captain, and she shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter to me, it's all about the eyes."
"Opal!" A familiar voice sounded.
Opal got up immediately and shouted, "Mushu!"
Mu Shu rushed from a distance and shouted: "Opal!"
Opal ran over, the two hugged tightly, and Opal said, "Wendy said you're not here!"
"I came from another village!" Mu Shu shouted, "That's great! See you again!"
He hugged Opal tightly, and the two looked at each other after parting, and both laughed.
Mu Shu bowed and panted, still a little out of breath: "They contacted the shelter I was in, and I drove over right away! Good job! Opal! You are so amazing!"
Opal smiled and patted his arm and said, "You're not too bad, how are you doing?"
"Tsk tsk tsk."
The women collectively booed: "Show mercy everywhere! Be careful to go home and be beaten to death by your man!"
"Hey!" Opal clarified angrily, "It's not like that!"
Mu Shu said: "Jianpa!! Don't bully my friends!"
The female soldiers laughed, and Mu Shu said, "Don't worry about them, I'll take you to a good place, let's go."
Mu Shu has obviously been to the central area of the mother of daughter Luo many times. The two walked in the dark. It has been nearly two cosmic years since their last time, and they have both grown up a lot.
Opal ran into his old friend again, and was overjoyed. He said, "I want to find you after finishing my mission. They told me that the village you live in is far away. It is dangerous to come here, and it is easy to be discovered by the rebels..."
Mu Shu smiled and said, "My car drives fast, it's fine."
Opal's expression changed: "You rushed all the way?! It's too dangerous! How can you..."
Mu Shu said: "I have also been trained as a mercenary, comrade-in-arms!"
Opal: "That's different, but alright... you don't do this dangerous thing again."
"Understood, long-winded." Mu Shu smiled.
He took Opal to the trunk and pushed him up. The mother of Nuluo only covered an area of nearly five kilometers. They left the branch and followed the steps on the tree that were not very obvious. Po said, "What is this place?"
Mu Shu reached down and pulled him, and said, "It's right to come with me, don't ask."
"Are you going to the forbidden area?! Mu Shu!" A patrolling female soldier said from a distance, "You can't bring outsiders to the forbidden area! Mother Luo's mother will be angry!"
"He's my friend!" Mu Shu shouted at her, "He's not an outsider! He's my best friend! He was born and died with me!"
"Forget it," Opal said. "How about a drink?"
Mu Shu said, "It's okay, let's go. I used to come here often when I was a kid."
Opal thought to himself that Mu Shu was right. He almost became a mercenary back then. The training of recruits that he received in class together can only be described as "birth to death".
They walked for more than an hour, and climbed up the huge tree trunk. The whole planet seemed to be asleep, except for the faint fluorescent lights glowing in the dark night. While walking and talking, Mu Shu said a lot, including the turmoil of the entire female Luoxing, and the survival of human beings here.
It was at that time that Mu Shu took a shipping ship to Lie Xing, looking for a job to make ends meet. His family was not rich. When the production technology was widely used, many people lost their jobs.
"Where's your family?" Opal said.
Mu Shu said: "My brothers are all here, and my parents are fine. I will use the money you gave, plus a little of my own savings, to rent a small piece of land in the west. The rebels are here, and they're gone now."
Opal said: "As long as the relatives are safe and sound, they can be taken back. Believe me, Raymond and I are here for this."
Mu Shu smiled and said, "I believe you can do it. You always told me before that as long as you have confidence, you can do anything."
Opal laughed at himself and said: "I now find that there are many things that are difficult to do even if I have enough faith. But I will still work hard. After the civil war is over, I will give you some investment points. less money."
Mu Shu hurriedly said: "No, that's enough, my friend, I am confident that I can manage the farm well." Mu Shu took Opal's hand, pulled him up the last ladder, and pulled him out from the hole.
Suddenly, the sky is bright, the sky is full of stars, they are embedded in the velvety night, and the wind blows, and you are at the top of the mother of Nuluo, with an unobstructed view of the long land under your feet, and the sea of trees of thousands of years in the spring breeze. rustling. A faint white light gleamed in the leaves.
As if the sky and the feet are full of stars, the glowing green stri spreads its wings and soars in the night wind.
Opal suddenly didn't want to say anything, and the two fell into a long silence.
After a long time, Opal said, "It's so beautiful."
"Wait for the next time the sun comes out." Mu Shu said, "All the female dill trees on this planet will bloom, including the mother of the female dill."
"Will it be spectacular?" Opal said.
"It's very beautiful." Mu Shu said, "I'll take you to enjoy flowers and drink when the time comes."
Opal laughed, Mu Shu walked to the edge of the branch and sat down. The terrain here is narrow, Opal sat over, and the two sat side by side on the branch, looking at the natural night scene in the distance, the sea of trees was like rolling black creatures, what is there? Roaring lowly in the wind and waves rolling up the leaves and branches.
"We'll jump from here later." Mu Shu said, "Can you fly?"
Opal noticed that Twilight was also wearing an anti-gravity belt and said, "You too?"
Mu Shu said: "Everyone will, we will climb to the top of the mother of female Luo during the autumn harvest festival, soar into the woods, fly around."
Opal exclaimed: "It's so beautiful."
"Opal, let me play a song for you." Mu Shu said.
Opal looked at him, and Mu Shu took out a palm-sized nut shell and played music.
The music is simple and simple, with only three tones, but when it is blown out, it is accompanied by the sound of the wind and the tidal water of the leaves. fly.
The music stopped.
"One more song." Opal said, "It sounds great."
Mu Shu said: "On the highest point of the mother of Nuluo, only one song can be played each night."
Opal: "Don't do that—"
Mu Shu said: "Really! If you blow it further, the forest will wake up. If you wake up the children in the forest, you will never be able to get out of its embrace. I still want to go to the Sphinx to find the girl I love to marry."
Opal said: "Are you going to get married? Who is the other party?"
Mu Shu said: "I don't know yet, how about you?"
Opal said: "I'm going to be with my comrade-in-arms. He's going to rescue the hostages now, and I'll introduce you to him when he comes back."
Mu Shu nodded and said, "Sounds good, I want to marry a girl and take care of her in the future."
Opal asked, "What's your name?"
Mu Shu said: "There is no name. There is a woman from the Sphinx in Xiaoshan Town. She is proficient in tea and spice divination. Her lover is our famous priest, who can use leaves to channel spirits."
With a cry of Opal, he thought of Sui Yan's mothers.
Mu Shu said: "She told me that my partner was in the Sphinx and asked me to find her in five years."
Opal nodded and said, "She knows everything?"
Mu Shu smiled and said: "Probably, many people believe them, do you want to taste the milk of the mother of daughter Luo?"
He was going to pick a sprout for Opal to eat, but Opal stopped him immediately and said, "Don't! This is a drug!"
"Occasionally, it won't be addictive." Mu Shu said, "Don't take a large dose and you'll be fine. I've eaten it several times."
Opal hesitated a bit and said, "No, you are a bad friend."
Mu Shu whispered, "It's not enough for other people to eat it. Only when the female Luo Xing is born can the grown-up boys be qualified to go to the top. She loves boys even more, and she won't get angry if you pick a little bit..."
Opal asked, "Are there only buds here?"
Mu Shu: "It's everywhere. Half of my mother's body is fossilized. Those poachers cut her living bark, cut her with scars, and stole the milk... Here, just taste a little and eat it together."
Opal wanted to stop him, but he didn't have time to speak. Mu Shu had already found a branch and broke off two buds. A faint white light flickered at the break. He fed the buds to Opal and signaled him to chew.
Opal: "… "
Mu Shu closed his eyes and chewed the tender sprouts. Opal learned to chew lightly, and the juice penetrated into the base of his tongue, causing his whole body to tremble in an instant.
That is the taste of life.
Opal has never felt such a surging breath of life, as if the whole soul is fused with the sky, the earth, and the sea of trees. The cells, every inch of the spiritual world were swept away by the green wind and washed thoroughly.
What followed was an indescribable joy, which made people forget all troubles, only the vast sky and rolling leaves and waves in his mind, the smell of grass and plants lingered directly through his olfactory nerves.
"You can't eat too much." Mu Shu said, "It's easy to become addicted."
Opal opened his eyes, and just a little while ago, he was about to fall into the arms of the mother of Nuo Luo.
Opal said: "Very happy."
Opal is still recalling the majestic feeling of life just now, his soul is thriving under the milk of the mother of daughter Luo, any setbacks and troubles are not important, the shocks he has experienced in his life are only the bright beauty in front of him when he is in love. can be compared with it.
"It makes people feel." Mu Shu said, "It's beautiful to live, but if you eat too much, you don't want to do anything. You feel that the real world is very heavy and dark, which is completely opposite to the feeling brought by the mother's milk. Will escape reality and eat this non-stop."
"Yes." Opal said with a smile: "At that moment, my whole body was alive, and every place was alive and vigorously."
A series of whistles sounded in the distance, signaling the arrival of the rebels, who were twenty kilometers away.
Opal said: "Go."
"Jump!" Mu Shu said, "Together."
Holding hands, the two rushed into the vast night, with the sound of the wind, their coats flying wildly, making an arc, spinning around the trunk of Nulu's mother, and flying towards their ambush point.
Mother Nuo glowed blue light, and the entire forest woke up at that moment.
