I'm trapped in a cube

Huashu, a very simple and crude name.

When they first discovered this jelly-like creature, they were standing on the edge of a high wall, watching with curiosity as humans built the wall.

They do no harm and simply stay by the wall.

These creatures are very interested in anything that is growing.

Gradually rising walls.

Experimental facilities built by people.

A temporary watchtower.

They would gather together in a group and watch the humans complete these things.

But what interests them most are the experimental crops brought by humans.

When we first came to the Theseus cell blockade area, humans used a lot of fertilizer to promote the growth of plants, because compared to animal experiments, plant experiments were much faster and safer.

Thanks to the development of science and technology, these fertilizers have produced significant effects.

This also attracted a lot of people to stop. They stayed next to the farm and stared at the growth of the plants sleeplessly.

After seeing the effects of fertilizer, they started trading with humans.

At first it was just a variety of rare materials deep in the sealed area, but in the end it was discovered that humans prefer relics.

So I found various relics from nowhere and used them to exchange fertilizers with humans.

After the transaction, he used his small body to lift the fertilizer and walked deeper into the area.

Human beings would not be defensive if they followed them, so they brought people into their own tribe.

Then, under the surprised eyes of humans, he spread this extremely precious fertilizer on the saplings that could be seen everywhere.

Then he stood next to the sapling and stared at the tree blankly.

It wasn't until researchers visited the Huashu tribe many times that they discovered that the saplings were not ordinary saplings, but transformed trees.

Human beings have also gradually come to understand the habits of transformed trees.

This creature spends its entire life preparing to become a tree.

Since their emergence, they have observed the changes in various natural things, including animals, plants, the waxing and waning of clouds and sunshine...

After getting to know the world, they will start making preparations, starting with choosing the right time.

Late spring and summer are not suitable for planting trees. Huishu probably feels that the temperature at this time will threaten the health of the plants and may cause the tree to die.

The planting time of choice for fossilized trees is autumn or early spring. During this time, they will find a suitable location.

There must be sufficient sunshine and water, it must be close to the Huashu tribe, and it must not be in a place that is too steep...

After all preparations are completed, they will dig a hole and swallow a creature composed of Theseus cells, which may be an insect or a small reptile, or a plant such as a fruit seed.

Then he buried himself alive.

The transformed trees will help each other and bury their companions.

The fertilizers exchanged from humans are also used to fertilize their companions.

When the sun and moon changed, the saplings sprouted from the ground, and they took care of them tirelessly until the saplings grew into towering trees.

And these transformed trees who take care of the trees will eventually choose a suitable seasonal location and transform themselves into a tree.

The principle of how they use Theseus cells to turn into trees has not yet been clearly studied.

But some people speculate that they will send a message to Theseus cells, allowing Theseus cells to replace themselves with a tree.

The record ends here.

Only then did Mo Ling realize why Captain Su cared so much about this creature.

It will not be replaced by Theseus Cells, and may even use the abilities of Theseus Cells in turn, becoming the only exception in the blocked area.

"They haven't appeared for a long time." Captain Su said to Li Luo after reading the information: "They used to appear in groups. Maybe something happened to their tribe."

Li Luo didn't hesitate, looked at the location of the Huashu Tribe in the information, got in the car and was about to leave.

"Be careful on the road. Don't provoke rioting creatures. If there is danger, don't rush in. We will be there soon." Captain Su solemnly warned Li Luo.

Li Luo nodded and accelerated into the woods.

The creatures in the woods were indeed very irritable, and they all eagerly attacked after hearing the sound of the car, but they could not withstand Mo Ling's teleportation.

The trees encountered on the road became larger and larger. Before long, the car stopped in front of a forest full of giant trees.

Mo Ling couldn't see the tops of those giant trees, but the thick trunks, which could only be hugged by several people, allowed him to imagine how tall the giant trees were.

Continuing to move forward, Mo Ling found that there were man-made wooden buildings on these tree trunks that resembled tree houses, but they were very small.

Small steps extend from the ground to the top of the trees. Thick circular vines are used as supports, and pieces of wooden circular steps are wrapped around them.

These buildings are obviously not for human use, so the only possibility is that they have reached the tribe of Huashu.

Sure enough, a jelly-like creature broke into Mo Ling's field of vision.

It has a spherical body, a leaf on its head, vague facial features, and a sharp point sticking out from each limb, like a fat walking fruit.

He was slowly walking down the vine stairs. After walking down, he came to Li Luo's car and stared blankly at the squares on the car.

Then the two short arms suddenly stretched out and raised their middle fingers at the square.

?

Mo Ling was stunned.

What is going on with this creature?

She looks so cute, but why does she have such a bad personality?

And why did you face the cube first and not Li Luo?

What happened next disrupted Mo Ling's thinking.

Huashu muttered a few words, which sounded like the voice of a young child.

Although the language was strange, Mo Ling understood it.

What Huashu said is——

"Welcome, friend."

This scene of giving others the middle finger and welcoming them at the same time really made Mo Ling feel weird.

Then, the transformed tree also raised its middle finger to Li Luo and said the same thing.

Li Luo had already opened the translator in advance, and when she saw this scene, she gave a confused middle finger.

The transformed tree looked very happy when Li Luo raised his middle finger, and started talking again: "Change the fertilizer! Change the fertilizer!"

Li Luo quickly replied: "There is no fertilizer."

After hearing this, Huashu showed a disappointed expression on his face and said to himself: "There are no trees and no fertilizer."

No tree?

"Why are there no trees?" Li Luo asked quickly.

"They can't all turn into trees, they all turn into other things." Huashu explained pitifully.

"Come." Huashu called Li Luo and walked towards a place.

Li Luo drove the car and followed Huashu deeper, and various abnormal scenes kept appearing in front of his eyes.

There are rattan cages everywhere in the tribe, containing all kinds of strange creatures. These creatures howl and move violently in the cages.

The types of creatures are completely inconsistent, exactly the same as during the previous riots at the outpost.

The Huashus who were supposed to be observing nature were walking around anxiously in the tribe at this time, as if they had forgotten their mission.

A group of transformed trees stood around the cage looking worriedly at the imprisoned creatures, helpless.

What happened?

It was only through the few words of the Huashu tribe that Mo Ling and Li Luo learned what had happened to the Huashu tribe.
