Data Wasteland

"Brother, what's your name?"

When starting the next day, Xiao Xu ran over to help Chen Xing tidy up the tent and asked Chen Xing's name seriously.

Chen Xing's information is in a secret state and cannot be found through the black table.

"Chen Twenty-Six, Chen of Erdong Chen, one-two-three two, five-six-seven six." Chen Xing reported his name. Although this was just a pseudonym he chose casually back then, it is now on the black list. It is not only his only label on the Mingnet system, but also the owner of all assets.

So when introducing himself, he can only use this name, otherwise he will have to bother to explain. Moreover, he recently used the signature of "26chen" very smoothly, with a few strokes, the writing is very fast, and it has the flavor of the signature of a big star.

But the only thing that was a bit uncomfortable was that now Ye Yang Bailiu didn't like to call him Chen Xing, and he didn't know who he learned from him.

"I'm Xu Zicai, it's fine if my elder brother calls me Xu Zi." Xiao Xu also reported his name. Probably after experiencing what happened yesterday, I want to remember Chen Xing's name, and maybe I can meet again in the future.

Chen Xing has a good impression of this young man, and is willing to make this friend. It's just that their identities are too far apart, and it is difficult to have any intersection. The best result is to be under Chen Xing's command, but you have to work when it's time to work.

Some people always think that friends should treat each other without distinction, regardless of their financial status, regardless of their value and ability, as long as they treat each other sincerely.

To be honest, love can not be separated, but friends can not be separated.

The foundation of friends is based on a relationship of mutual needs, either like-minded, able to play together, or equal in abilities, able to help each other, or understand each other, can talk to each other, or cooperate tacitly and be able to fight side by side.

Although the word "friend" is not entirely motivated by interests, it is inseparable from interests.

Mutual need is the most basic principle.

If the status of the two is very different, and one's life is just a word from the other, then even if the friendship exists, it is a little bit of love left over from that year.

The reality is that there may be love between the dragon and the ant, because love is the only existence that can cross classes. Cinderella and the prince, the poor scholar and the princess, but the friendship cannot last.

Because friends are equal, I need you, you need me. If this relationship is not established, it is just a matter of taking advantage of others to insist on defining it with ethical standards beyond reality.

Smart people can often find out their position in a relationship, whether they have more friends, more affiliations, or more cooperative relationships.

As long as the positioning is accurate, embarrassing things will not easily happen, and good results will be obtained.

In a blink of an eye, on the third day, the sisters and Chen Xing separated. Their hunting area is in the other direction. After a simple farewell, parted ways.

One day later, when he arrived at Lao Xu's hunting area, Chen Xing should also go on the road alone.

However, Chen Xing stayed in the camp for a day under the kind invitation of his uncles and nephews.

But just staying for such a day, but a strange thing happened.

The next morning, just after breakfast, two men came to the camp.

The two are old Xu's companions. Before the old Xu returned to Qing Dynasty, they stayed in the hunting area. This is the practice in the hunting area, and someone needs to stay behind, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up the territory.

No one will notice in the short term, but it will definitely not work for a long time.

When they returned to the camp yesterday, the two were not there, and judging from the traces of their lives in the camp, they had been away for at least a week.

Old Xu thought that the two had gone on a small business trip and ran to Lengquan Harbor to find the Orioles.

But after the two returned, they said that they had stayed in the hunting area and had never left. The reason is that a strange tree suddenly appeared in the hunting area half a month ago.

The tree is unusually tall, the trunk

More than a dozen people are required to hug, and the canopy covers more than half of the football field.

What is even more strange is that when the two appeared, Chen Xing felt a dull pain in his scalp. The two quasi-elite level mercenaries actually aroused the danger perception of his quasi-lord.

Past experience tells him that he will not lie when he perceives danger, and there must be certain factors in the opponent that can threaten him. But he couldn't see anything on the surface, so he decided not to startle and watch the changes.

"You'll know when you go to see it."

Before they had exchanged a few words, the two proposed to take others to see the strange tree.

Old Xu agreed without even thinking about it. This is their hunting area, and it's an old man for many years. There is nothing to doubt.

Chen Xing wanted to find out the reason, so he followed. He really couldn't understand how the two older mercenaries, who were not at the elite level, threatened him, the quasi-lord level.

The hunting area was not large, only a few square kilometers, and everyone quickly came to the "strange" tree under the leadership of the two.

In Chen Xing's view, this tree is not surprising.

The trunk is made up of dense vines, with small leaves, thick rhizomes out of the ground, intertwined roots, and spreading dozens of meters.

This is a typical strangulation plant. Their seeds fall on other trees, germinate and parasitize, and their roots grow downward, gradually wrapping and strangling the host, and finally replacing the host to become the new owner.

Judging from the shape of the leaves and the hanging roots, it is easy to tell that it is a banyan. It's just that compared to the ordinary Ficus banyan, its bark is pale as a corpse, and there are some greenish greens on it, which looks like a corpse spot.

But this is not surprising, this is a common mutated Ficus. Under the influence of radiation, the bark appears sickly pale.

Although the trunk is thick and requires more than a dozen people to hug, the diameter of the canopy is more than 50 meters, but this is not a big deal among mutant plants. Chen Xing has seen a lot in the Black Dead Jungle, and it is even more common in the Green Continent. It's not surprising that it is ten times bigger than this.

If you insist on saying that there is something special, it is that it gives people a feeling of darkness and depression, the gaps between the vines are dark and deep, and it seems that there is something terrible hidden in it, which is creepy.

But it may also be a psychological effect, because some people say that it is strange and preconceived and find it strange.

Xiao Xu and Chen Xing walked at the end. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from under their feet. Xiao Xu looked down and saw that a red-headed centipede was emerging from the gap between the roots of the tree. The dense knots were creeping around him. The army boots climbed up.

"Wow!"

Xiao Xu yelled in fright and jumped half a foot high.

An electric light flashed between Chen Xing's fingers, and with a snapping sound, the arc bounced out, knocking the red-headed centipede into flight. The black oily insect's body was broken into several pieces, bouncing and struggling on the ground with blue smoke, and there was no movement in a while.

"His hiss..."

As if a switch had been touched, hundreds of centipedes emerged from the gap, in large numbers, like black cables wriggling all over the floor, making the scalp numb.

Before Xiao Xu was surprised why Chen Xing could suddenly use his skills, he hurriedly jumped back.

"Insecticide!"

Old Xu yelled to his partner while stepping back. The latter immediately rushed forward and aimed the jet at the spreading centipede group.

The green mist sprayed out, very pungent. When the centipede hits the gas, it retreats immediately and drills into a few gaps. Part of the body was exposed to the mist, and immediately rolled over in pain, the tail struggling, and finally curled up into a ball, completely lost movement.

After spraying the insecticidal mist for a while, the centipede flees to death, and soon disappeared.

"Do you feel it?" a person suddenly asked. He is one of the two people who stayed at the camp.

The question was a little bit dumb, but everyone looked vigilant and looked around.

Chen Xing frowned slightly, he felt that the other party was dying

Use mystery to create a tense atmosphere.

But at this moment, a strange feeling spread to my heart, as if there were countless pairs of eyes observing him behind his back, but when I turned around, there was nothing.

It was quiet and deep everywhere, and there were one or two bird calls from time to time.

Chen Xing's scalp aches and feels very uncomfortable. It seems that this tree does have some problems.

Old Xu looked around and found nothing unusual. Then he walked to the trunk made of vines, pulled out his combat dagger, and drew on the vines, seeming to want to find out the cause of the abnormality.

The sharp blade cut open the bark, and a red liquid suddenly flowed out like blood. Old Xu dabbed a little with his finger, put it in front of his nose and sniffed, frowning.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Xu asked nervously.

"The smell of human blood." Old Xu said.

"What, let me have a look!" Another mercenary stepped forward and smelled, his face suddenly changed.

"Have you seen such a tree?" Chen Xing asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"This tree is a bit weird, so cut it down." Someone suggested.

"It's so big, how do you cut it?" "Using an axe!" "The axe is not too big." "Cut a little bit, and then blow it up with a grenade." Everyone talked about it and quickly decided on a plan. Old Xu took out the mountain axe, held it in both hands, and cut it down fiercely.

"Tuk!" "Tuk!" "Tuk!"

When the axe went down several times, the sawdust flew horizontally. The thick vines broke off, revealing the large cross-section of the bowl. Then it seemed that a hole was made in the reservoir, and a spring of blood spurted out with a crash.

Everyone changed their expressions and backed off subconsciously.

If these are the blood of trees, then the blood volume is a bit scary, and there must be a blood pool in it.

There was a thick **** smell in the air, that smell was like walking into a slaughterhouse, where the eyes were full of corpses and blood. Xiao Xu hadn't been on the battlefield before, and was uncomfortable with the taste, so he retched on the spot.

The blood spring sprayed for more than ten minutes, but it still did not weaken. The blood poured into the cracks in the roots, and then overflowed from the low-lying places.

"Old Xu, what should I do?" a mercenary asked with a pale face.

Old Xu hesitated for a moment, and his heart was cut, anyway, he had already cut it open, and he didn't stop doing it, and he exploded!

He took out a blasting grenade, opened the fuse, and smoke immediately appeared.

"Be careful!" Lao Xu yelled while pushing a grenade into the wound, and then fell to the ground.

Chen Xing's figure flickered, holding Xiao Xu by the collar and pulling back a few meters.

The fire flashed, there was a loud bang, and the trunk was exploded with huge holes.

In an instant, blood gushed out like a mountain torrent, and thick blood quickly covered the ground, and the **** smell was so nauseating.

Where did everyone see such a scene, they were suddenly stunned.

"Wow!"

One wave after another, the gushing blood crawled out of a living corpse, struggling, howling in pain, and crawling out desperately.

Old Xu was the closest to him, hurriedly drew out his pistol, and fired continuously at the blood man.

The bullet hit the head of the living corpse and opened the scoop directly, flowing out white serous.

Old Xu Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and dozens of arms rushed out at the same time, scratching desperately, as if more corpses were about to crawl out.

"Retreat first!"

Chen Xing felt that something was wrong, and immediately greeted everyone to step back.

Even if it is a mutant plant, it is impossible to hide so many messy things inside.

The blood gushing out seemed endless, like it was connected to an underground river of blood, pouring out continuously. If this continues, the neighborhood will soon become a vast ocean.

A **** ocean.
