I made myself the protagonist

The Moscow military did not immediately cremate the bodies of the dead captain and the soldier, but decided to conduct research. But when the military doctor used a knife to cut open the two emaciated bodies, they were completely shocked by the scene in front of them:

Although they looked normal on the outside, there was no drop of blood in the bodies of the two soldiers, and even their internal organs had completely shrunk, as if they had been completely drained by something.

Such corpses are reminiscent of ancient Egyptian mummies, but if that were the case, how could the two of them walk out of the forest alive?

What frightened the military doctors even more was that the nerves and blood vessels in the two people's bodies were still beating. After dissecting them with a scalpel, they discovered that they were not human tissue at all, but countless thin and dense branches...

Could it be that the ones who came back were not the original soldiers at all, but puppets controlled by the trees?!

The strangeness before us has long gone beyond the scope of scientific understanding. The government, which originally wanted to study poisonous mushrooms for military use, finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Due to the political environment at the time, Moscow was plagued by internal and external troubles. After discussion, senior military officials decided to burn and destroy the body samples and terminate the exploration of the woods.

At the beginning of the next year, the base stationed outside the forest received a government order to let the last exploration force withdraw from the dark forest.

The samples and related records that had been stored at the base in the past were also completely destroyed.

As for the information in the safe, Su Li speculated that it should have been left in the shelter by the troops before they had time to destroy it before leaving.

Everyone quickly digested the new information, and for a while, the only sound left in the room was the crackling sound of firewood.

"It seems that the key to the problem lies here." Ling Yun was the first to break the silence and pointed to a pen sketch in the document.

It was a towering ancient temple located inside a tree, surrounded by vines.

As described in the information, no one would believe that this is a temple formed by the natural growth of trees just from the outside: the ancient temple looks eerie, about ten meters high, with two pillars standing at the door. Not only that

, there is also a step in the center that extends to the interior.

"If it looks like this, it doesn't have a mind of its own."

Zhao Sicheng stared at the picture and suddenly said: "To tell you the truth, as soon as I came in, I felt something was wrong, as if there were countless pairs of eyes around me staring at us. This feeling of alienation has always been there.

It didn’t feel better until I got inside.”

"So you mean, this forest is alive?" Xiaolong couldn't help but swallowed.

"It's hard to say, but I can't rule out the possibility."

Ling Yun said in a deep voice: "It is written in the information that no matter how the forest is destroyed, the trees will grow at an incredible speed and even spread outward. This is also the main reason why the military dare not use thermal weapons on the forest. Therefore, there has been no

No one dares to disturb those trees."

"Why don't you go out and find a tree tomorrow and try it?" Hubert carefully asked for everyone's opinions.

When their group was in the woods today, they did not encounter any attacks; but if they took the initiative to harm these trees, they don't know what would happen.

"Yeah." Su Li thought for a while and agreed to the other party's proposal.

After all, they have to survive in this forest full of trees for at least ten days. If they don't figure out the secrets of those trees, it will be very dangerous.

"There seems to be words in this painting!" During the discussion, Tang Yao suddenly spoke in surprise.

Hubert raised his eyebrows and hurriedly came over. Tang Yao pointed to the temple picture and murmured: "Look, here, there is this - it doesn't look like the brush strokes of a painting, but more like a Russian painting."

Chinese letters.”

After her suggestion, everyone took a closer look at the painting and found that there were indeed some strange and crooked brushstrokes in the painting of the texture of the trees and vines and the background around the temple. Although the Russian and English languages ​​were different, most of the letters remained the same.

Tang Yao mentioned her friend Zi Ting who died in the first mission. Zi Ting was a crazy star-chasing girl, and her idol was a Russian singer. Out of love, Zi Ting even deliberately taught herself Russian and gave them Amway singers when she had nothing to do.

of various kinds.

Due to her influence, I also have a superficial understanding of Russian.

However, she could only barely find the letters. As for what they meant when put together, she had no idea.

"Words indeed."

Hubert played an important role at this time: when he was young, he had studied at St. Petersburg State Medical University in Russia and was relatively familiar with Russian.

Fortunately, the letters were arranged in an orderly manner. Hubert combined the letters in the four corners and the center of the picture, and soon got a few keys: [bright red] [death] [moon] [appear] [grand]

】【Dinner】

"When the red moon appears, we can have a full meal before we die?" Zhao Sicheng said, rubbing his hungry stomach.

"The translation is good, please don't translate it again in the future." Ling Yun glanced at him.

"With the coming of the blood moon, the feast of death will come." Hubert's Chinese proficiency was obviously better, and he relayed to everyone what the painter wanted to express.

Blood moon...Ling Yun suddenly remembered that when the monster appeared outside the house, the moon did turn red briefly for a while.

After the ghost shadow dissipated, the moon returned to normal.

The destruction of the army was enough to confirm this statement. Combined with other information and there was no information about the blood moon, Su Li speculated that once the red moon appeared, the forest would be in extreme danger and monster activities would be more frequent than at any time.

"Yes, after the red moon appeared, we suffered waves of attacks. This must be some kind of danger signal!" Wei Chongming's eyes lit up.

"Even the moon is affected by the forest. It seems that this place must not be a normal world." Lin Qing spoke meaningfully.

"Temple, death, feast... it looks like a big sacrifice."

Ren Yao rarely spoke: "Didn't the last two soldiers who survived have tree branches in their bodies? If the forest is really alive, they must have been controlled by something. Could it be that the cause of the forest's mutation is...

There are S-level props in that temple?!"

"Yes, that must be the case!"

Thinking of the ghost dragon in the previous treasure hunt game, Zhao Sicheng quickly agreed: "As long as we can get that thing, we can resurrect Lin Yuanqi!"

Although they knew that the heart of the tree was very dangerous, everyone was not without the capital to fight. After all, their powers had been restored by that time, and Xiaolong's strangler vine was the most suitable for the terrain among everyone.

Everyone immediately became energetic, and when they heard this, even Tang Yao became excited.
