PNB Chapter 263 Planting Trees Around the Base
Chapter 263 Planting Trees Around the Base
In an instant, a fragrance beyond human sense of smell spread out, and all the mutated plants around them stood up, eager to move, but dared not move because of the spruce tree and the high-level human ability user.
As the spring water emerged from the space, the spruce trees froze, their branches swaying in disarray.
For a moment, the whole world fell silent.
After a long pause, under urging from his underlings, Boss Tree finally spoke: "I want...that..."
At this moment, Chi Feng pretended to pick it up and asked, "Ah, which one?"
The old tree stretched out a branch and pointed to the basin of water in Zhou Yang's hand.
"Oh, you mean this? This is something only the mutated plants we raise down the mountain can drink. Tsk, it smells amazing." Chi Feng finished speaking and then shook his head with feigned regret. "Sigh, since you prefer to stay up on the mountain, we won't bother you any longer. Goodbye! See you again sometime!"
After speaking, he made a move to pull Zhou Yang away together.
Now the spruce trees couldn't stay still any longer and started shaking their branches vigorously again.
Old Tree hurriedly tried to stop them: "Wait...wait...down the mountain...can we...drink...?"
Chi Feng nodded: "That's right, even the mutated plants that guard our base down the mountain can drink it. Our mutated plants grew up drinking this! Here, drink one and show them!"
After collecting Chi Feng's water, he let go of the vines that had been eyeing Zhou Yang's water basin, buried his head in the basin, and drank every last drop of the spring water in the blink of an eye.
The spruce trees, seeing their spring water being drunk up by other mutated plants: ...
Ahhhhh!
The spruce trees let out a silent cry.
Immediately afterwards, the tree branches danced wildly before their eyes, clearly panicked by the disappearance of the spring.
The eldest tree was equally anxious. Urged on by all the other tree brothers, he hurriedly called out, and in his haste, he even spoke fluently: "We're going down the mountain...we want to drink!"
With his back to the spruce forest, Chi Feng, who had already pulled Zhou Yang several steps away, grinned upon hearing this, but then looked up and put on a troubled expression.
“Sigh, but we need a lot of trees, and your little patch isn’t enough. Besides, our spring water is very rare. What if you take it down and we can’t even beat a zombie? That would be a huge loss for us! And you’re not the strongest trees on this hill. Forget it, let’s go back up and ask the mutated camphor trees.”
"No need! We have enough!"
These few words were enough to make the old tree shout out in anger.
Then, with a flick of a branch, the spruce trees swayed and shook, each one instantly growing larger and taller.
Okay, okay, so you were just pretending to be cute, right?
Zhou Yang looked at the spruce trees, each one taller than the last, their branches completely obscuring the stars and moon in the sky, and was speechless.
Before he could react, a commotion arose from behind the spruce forest, followed by a violent earthquake. One by one, the spruce trees, carrying their roots, walked up to Zhou Yang and his companions.
"..."
"!!!"
……
In just a few seconds, several punctuation marks flashed through Zhou Yang's mind, but none of them were enough to describe his shock at that moment.
Seeing Zhou Yang still in a daze, Chi Feng quickly pushed him and urged, "What are you standing there for? Get to work! Can't your space hold mutated plants and animals? Hurry up and put them all in your space first, otherwise it will be too slow for them to walk to the base with their roots."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang finally came to his senses. He then stepped forward and tentatively collected the tree closest to him. Finding that the spruce trees did not react, he felt relieved and his hands moved even faster in collecting the trees.
It took Zhou Yang more than ten minutes to complete the planting of several hundred spruce trees.
Once the last spruce tree was stored in their spatial storage, Zhou Yang and the other two immediately turned around and headed down the mountain.
After they left, a small mutated camphor tree came down from above.
The earth shook violently just now, and the camphor trees on the mountaintop felt it too. However, the deeply rooted, large mutated camphor trees didn't want to move, so they sent down one of the smaller mutated camphor trees to investigate.
However, when it slowly climbed down the roots, it only saw the empty spruce territory; not a single spruce tree was left.
Small variant camphor tree: ? ? ?
……
On the way down the mountain, Zhou Yang asked Chi Feng curiously, "Why didn't you just go to the top of the mountain and turn over the mutated camphor trees? Aren't those more powerful?"
Chi Feng replied without hesitation, "Those who can claim territory on the mountaintop are no ordinary people. They are definitely not as easy to talk to as these spruce trees. If we get into a fight, we will lose and lose face."
Zhou Yang: "..."
Back at the base, Zhou Yang and the other two first placed a row of spruce trees on the mountainside of the base. After each tree took root, they watered it with a small basin of spring water.
This is the price that Chifeng and the spruce trees agreed on. Today, we'll start with one pot to try it out, and from now on, we'll water it every three days.
After settling the spruce trees in the back row, Zhou Yang and his group continued along the city wall towards the nearest east gate of the base.
Because Zhou Yang and his group didn't try to conceal their movements, they were quickly spotted by the guards at the gate.
At first, I thought some mutated animal or zombie was coming, so I immediately became on guard.
When they used a searchlight, they discovered that a tree, taller than the city wall, had suddenly appeared beside the wall. The further they looked, the more alarmed they became, as there appeared to be many more trees behind it.
The sudden appearance of so many tall trees must have been an attack by mutated plants, so the captain of the guard team immediately called the military command center to report the situation.
Upon hearing this, the control room immediately became agitated and notified their superiors. Gu Tianqi, upon hearing the news, also immediately dispatched Song Lian's team to investigate.
However, when Song Lian led his team to their destination, they were stunned to see Zhou Yang and his two companions chatting and laughing with the guards, without any sense of tension, let alone any mention of the mutated plant invasion.
"What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be an attack by mutated plants? Where are they?"
