Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 173: The secret of meat apples
Popular recommendations:,,,,,,,,
I don’t know if the snake-faced man can hear it, but Lin Sanjiu’s ear drums are filled with the sound of his own heavy breathing.
It seemed like even the blood was numb.
"Onion...where did it come from?" The cracks on the snake-faced face deepened, forming a deep, dark, canyon-like smile.
It was obviously very novel about the language that came out of its own mouth. It rolled its forked tongue and showed a little interest in continuing the conversation: "You, say."
——Lin Sanjiu never expected that this snake-faced man could actually speak human language.
Knowing that this was an accident, her regret still swallowed up her heart like a poisonous snake - it would have been better if she had not touched the fleshy apple at that time! It's so reckless!
What should we do now?
Seeing that she didn't respond, the snake-faced man couldn't stand it anymore - its coiled snake tail quickly opened, and its body rose higher and higher. A pair of vertical pupils as tall as a person were staring at Lin Sanjiu. .
"Where does it come from?"
Lin Sanjiu felt a chill in her heart, but her reaction was faster than her thoughts. She immediately put away the polishing agent, turned around and ran away under the sudden cover of darkness.
However, as soon as she took a step, something hit her hard in front of her, as if she had been hit by a meteorite. The branches that had been stable under her feet suddenly trembled violently, knocking her to the ground.
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly called out [Ability Polishing Agent] and saw that a black shadow like a bridge was crossing her head. The other end branched and was now piercing into the bark of a tree not far ahead - —It’s the snake-faced man’s tongue.
If she had run faster just now, she would have been the one who was pierced and crushed.
A huge drop of saliva suddenly fell down and hit Lin Sanjiu. She was instantly wetted. It was just a drop of saliva, but the force was so strong that even the skin all over her body was beaten. pain. If this snake-faced man wants to attack her——
Lin Sanjiu couldn't figure out what she should do.
"I, I came out of the tree..." Unable to run or fight, she wiped her face and had no choice but to speak. Perhaps there is a turning point in the conversation: "...why do you say what we say?"
Obviously not every snake-faced person can speak human language - otherwise Lin Sanjiu would not be able to survive until now, because he would be found when the fleshy apple makes a noise.
It seemed that only the snake-faced man understood, so he quietly came back after everyone left.
Hearing the answer, the black shadow like a bridge above his head retracted in a whoosh. Such a big thing was so fast that no one had time to react - because it was too close, Lin Sanjiu couldn't see its full expression, and could only hear the snake-faced man hissing: "Tree? Strange...impossible." ”
But he didn't answer her question.
She was shocked by the loud noise at close range, rubbed her ears and said, "I didn't lie to you, I really came out of the tree."
The two tall vertical pupils turned back and forth, looking even more penetrating in the silver light of [Ability Polishing Agent].
"Impossible... all the nutrients should have been absorbed." The snake-faced man stared at Lin Sanjiu and stopped moving, as if he was also preventing her from suddenly escaping again. "Why are you...not in the apple? Where did you come from?"
Nutrition? In an apple?
Although he had a vague premonition, Lin Sanjiu was still cold all over.
"Nutrition refers to... us humans?" She stammered, feeling as if she had asked nonsense.
Unexpectedly, the snake-faced man denied it.
After sticking out the tip of its tongue and uttering a syllable similar to "no", it seemed to be choosing words and making sentences. After a while, it slowly said: "The tree bears fruit, and the fruit contains nutrients. What I eat, nutrients Not good, not good...but I understand what you said."
——No, it doesn’t mean what I imagined, does it?
Lin Sanjiu was almost stunned.
"Some fruits are good, such as——" The snake-faced man talked to a creature other than the snake-man for the first time, and he seemed to have some fun. When it said this, it used its tongue to pronounce a very complicated syllable, which felt like a personal name: "...if she eats one, she will shine. Some are not good, but I eat it and I can understand the words."
"Each fruit has different nutrients, and the leader eats the best."
Even if the snake-faced man didn't quite understand what he said, Lin Sanjiu understood everything immediately.
These apple trees are, in a sense, a "reprocessing machine." The flesh and blood of the evolved person was mixed together here, and turned into fleshy apples that grew out one by one - each fleshy apple probably contained the ability of the evolved person. After the snake-faced man eats it, he will Obtain the corresponding capabilities.
In the concept of snake-faced people, nutrients are of course not human beings, but the abilities of human beings.
In this way, it is easy to explain why meat apples can still talk - presumably the apple tree must keep them alive in order to retain the ability of evolvers. Whether it is just living in the form of a human, or whether it is living as an apple after the flesh and blood of multiple different people are mixed together, is not what they care about.
And the apple that this little snake-faced man secretly ate before might happen to contain a language communication skill.
Thinking of the missing Rabbit and his friends, Lin Sanjiu's heart was so high that she wanted to look at every branch right away - but she couldn't even move.
"You... said you came out of the tree." The snake-faced man spoke again, and the buzzing sound made the body tremble. "Could it be that the nutrients in the fruit are all your kind?"
"That's right!" Lin Sanjiu was slightly surprised that it had never thought about the source of nutrients, and then said with luck: "I just want to find a few of my friends. As soon as I find someone , we will leave right away, and it will definitely not affect the apples you eat... okay?"
When she was drifting among the roots, she had thought about saving as many people as she could, but now she has long given up on this unrealistic fantasy.
As long as he could rescue Rabbit and his friends, Lin Sanjiu would be satisfied... However, the snake-faced man tilted his head slightly, looked at her, and said nothing for a while.
The deathly still air, surrounded by thick darkness, seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Lin Sanjiu became more and more nervous and quietly put her hands behind her back.
After a long time, the snake-faced man finally spoke up.
"Being able to escape... trees is very powerful." Its speaking speed was still so slow, and its body suddenly began to sway from side to side. "If I eat you, I will be very powerful. Become the leader!"
xYour mother - Lin Sanjiu just couldn't help but cursed the national curse of rabbit, and the vertical pupils in front of him suddenly rose. Almost at the same time, a black shadow ejected from the snake-faced man's mouth. Come out and hit her straight.
Lin Sanjiu finally experienced what it felt like to be hit head-on by the Golden Gate Bridge——
There was a loud bang, and the tongue penetrated deeply into the bark of the tree. Immediately, debris flew all over the sky, and the ground shook. Fortunately, Lin Sanjiu was well prepared. He had already rolled out a long distance on his hands and knees and hid in embarrassment.
"You think you're so big that I can't do anything about it?" She spat fiercely. Seeing that the tongue was attacking her again, she really had no other solution, so she jumped up and jumped not far below. on another branch.
As soon as her feet were almost off the ground, the place where she was standing was shattered into pieces - the familiar slime splashed out, covering her like rain.
Hiding like this is not an option. It would be nice if [the girl who blew bubbles] was still here——
Just when he thought of this, Lin Sanjiu was suddenly shocked and hurriedly opened his card library.
When searching for things in the Eden Laboratory, she almost took whatever she saw. Later, they were unified into cards, so that she even forgot some things. She glanced at the card in her hand and suddenly knew it. idea.
At this time, the offensive behind her stopped, and only the ground was constantly shaking. It seemed that the snake-faced man was surrounding the tree, looking up and down for her traces.
Because Lin Sanjiu was hiding behind a branch, just in the blind spot of the snake-faced man's sight, and in order to avoid becoming the only rake in the dark, she had already put away the [Ability Polishing Agent]. At this time It was dark, and the snake-faced man was also affected.
"Where...? It's so annoying, I'm going to crush you to death..."
The long tongue hissed back and forth on the bark of the tree. Just when it was getting impatient, a silver light suddenly lit up on a branch, and then disappeared immediately - this short moment was enough Caught by the snake-faced man, his long tongue shot towards the light.
However, in the next second, something unexpected happened to the snake-faced man.
The tongue seemed to have penetrated something shrouded in mist, and a hot and stinging pain it had never experienced before suddenly traveled all the way along the tip of the tongue - the snake-faced man hissed fiercely for half a sound, subconsciously He put his long tongue back into his mouth, and then he could no longer make any sound——
It fell headfirst to the ground, clutching its thick snake neck with both hands and struggling silently. The long snake body couldn't help but roll on the ground, causing several apple trees to tremble slightly. It even knocked down a few fleshy apples - after a while, the vibration like a small earthquake finally slowly subsided. ~IndoMTL.com~ The black shadow representing the snake-faced man lay on the ground like a mountain, motionless.
From a branch, a small group of silver light lit up. The light couldn't shine very far and was already blurry. Lin Sanjiu looked at the hill-like shadow in the distance with fear. After waiting for a long time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked down at the [Microbial Smoke] recovery device in her hand and smiled bitterly.
The simple trap just set up was indeed effective. The snake-faced man really stuck his tongue into a small piece of purple mist formed by the [microbial smoke cloud] - the smoke cloud immediately adhered to it, and was drawn along its tongue. It was taken back into the body, and I was afraid that this recovery device would never be used again.
Once the snake-faced man's struggling and hissing disappeared, the space immediately returned to dead silence, and the thumping heartbeat sounded so clear.
Time is running out, Lin Sanjiu thought secretly. We must quickly find a way to find the rabbit and his party and try to escape before other snake-faced people discover this body. r1152
