Chapter 236: Being fooled by a tree

In the early morning, a large group of people evacuated from John Castle came to the northeastern suburbs of Luocheng. After a night of hard work, many people looked tired and restless on their faces.

"Zhalin, come to my car and I'll invite you to have a cup of hot coffee." Schwaronson warmly invited.

Lin Zaishan advised Billy in the driver's seat and Mira in the passenger seat: "Driving carefully, I'll go out and take a look." His figure flashed and he jumped out of the car window.

"Awesome!" Mira couldn't help but praise.

The car Schwaronson was riding in was a large modified RV with protective steel plates, rotating cannon platform and antennas installed outside, and inside there was a kitchen, bathroom, communication command room, high and low bedroom, and a weapon and ammunition depot. Before the evacuation operation last night, the car drove on the scheduled route by Schwaronson's subordinates to wait.

Schwaronson, Rose, and Jack were discussing something against a display screen in the communications command room. When he heard Lin Zaishan knocking on the door, he immediately asked him to come up.

"Wow!" Lin Zaishan exclaimed when he saw the complete facilities and organized layout in the car. "Idol, you don't feel like you are in the end of the world. You can enjoy it even more than before the end of the world."

"This car is a special car I took before the end of the world, and after the end of the world, it was transformed into what it is now. You can think it is a mobile castle, and many of the things inside can be pulled, retracted, or plug-and-play, and unloaded casually."

"Celebrities are willful."

"This is the coffee I prepared for you, I brewed it myself."

Lin Zaishan tasted a sip of steaming coffee, and glanced at the screen at the same time, asking: "The forward of the corpse group actually chased him here? What time is this picture?"

“5 minutes ago.”

"It seems that they can catch up with us in at most 20 minutes." Lin Zaishan worried: "The tail of our team is dragging too long."

"When it comes to the tail, I hope you don't forget your head." Schwaronson mobilized the drone in front of him and heard the picture at the forefront of the team. He saw a small team of more than a dozen cars spontaneously driving towards the Red Apple Woods rashly.

"I'll go! That red apple forest has become a sperm, can move, can eat people." Lin Zaishan was about to jump out of the car to chase and stop him.

"Don't be rushing to the slap." Schwaronson handed over a communicator, "My drone has a sound amplifier, and you can shout to them directly in the air."

Lin Zaishan immediately called: "Listen to the people in front, the Red Apple Woods are extremely dangerous areas and must not enter. I ask you to stop moving forward immediately and wait for further dispatching."

Schwaronson reminded while drinking coffee happily: "Did you forget who you are?"

Lin Zaishan added: "I am a scum!" He quickly explained the request just now.

His words had a certain effect. Most of the vehicles in the small team stopped, but four cars still broke into the edge of the apple forest without knowing it, and seemed to be preparing to pick apples.

Suddenly, the originally quiet fruit tree became restless in a dazzling way like a special forces soldier wearing a plant suit. Many tree roots of different thicknesses and lengths stretched out from the ground, and swallowed all the four cars and more than a dozen people in the car in less than 5 seconds.

Lin Zaishan slapped the small table hard, "I told them that they were extremely dangerous, but they just didn't listen and insisted on going to die! Who are these? Are their heads made of tofu?"

Schwaronson was no longer surprised by this miserable and heartwarming scene and asked Lin Zaishan: "Do you want to add some sugar? It will be better if you have sugar."

Rose suddenly reminded: "Two coffee men, I hope you have noticed a big problem." She enlarged the picture and pointed to the road in the middle: "I don't know when the Red Apple Forest has crossed the river and double-teamed the road. How can we pass safely?"

"The most effective way is to light a fire," Jack suggested.

"I guess these apple trees that have become elf will not let us get close to ignite them." Rose retorted.

"Then we'll fire the fire-burning bomb at a long range." Jack continued to suggest.

Schwaronson nodded and said, "I think this method is feasible. Zhalin, what do you think?"

"I had a premonition that something was wrong, but I couldn't think of any better way for a while."

"Then let's try it first." Schwaronson came to the arsenal, picked up a special firearm, hung up a combustible grenade, then opened the door and rolled over to the roof, stepped on many vehicles and rushed towards the front of the queue. "Boom", and fired a grenade straight at the apple woods on the left side of the road.

As soon as the grenade fell into the fruit tree, a raging fire broke out, and more than a dozen apple trees were immediately burned.

Schwaronson sniffed out: "It's made of wood after all."

Suddenly, a shocking scene happened: the apple forest around the fire point threw thousands of apples into the flames, and the apples were big and crisp, and after touching, it exploded a large amount of liquid, weakening the fire; a large number of tree roots emerged from the ground, rolling up a mass of soil, and rolling towards the fire apple trees; at the same time, the fire apple trees rolled their roots, pulling the trunks and heads into the soil desperately; the other apple trees retreated in unison like they had rehearsal training, leaving a vacuum zone between them and the fire point.

Schwaronson rubbed his eyes hard and was sure he was not wrong. He still didn't give up and fired two grenades one after another. The ending was the same. In less than 10 seconds, not only was the fire extinguished, but even the trees at the fire point were updated and replaced, and everything seemed to have never happened.

"Who said wood is easy to bully?" Schwaronson shook his head helplessly and returned to his RV.

//////////////

Rose reminded: "We have seen the scene just now. If we still can't think of a way to pass through the Red Apple Woods within 10 minutes, it's best to be prepared to fight the forwards of the corpse group. According to the picture sent by the drone in the rear, one is about 500.

The right level five corpse group is about to bite our tail."

Lin Zaishan asked, “Is there any nearby road that can bypass the Red Apple Forest?”

Rose switched the surveillance screen and replied: "This is the terrain in the southeast direction of the queue. From the screen, the nearest bridge with a straight line distance of 5 kilometers, and the ground traffic distance is about 7 kilometers."

"We can't turn around and walk 7 kilometers in a short time, let alone marching towards the forwards of the corpse group." Jack said.

"This is indeed a difficult question." Schwaronson asked Lin Zaishan: "Do you have a good idea?"

Lin Zaishan thought hard and suddenly recalled the brainless work of the brave knight, "The Secret of Survival in the End of Times": "The second guy walked into the middle of the fruit woods with a smell of alcohol, and had a great chat with their king."

He asked Schwaronson: "Do you have wine in your car? What kind of juice is made of?"

"I have a bottle of good wine." Schwaronson took out the wine from the refrigerator in the kitchen, twisted it casually, and opened the bottle plug. The aroma of the wine immediately spread throughout the RV. Schwaronson took the opportunity to prepare two wine glasses.

Jack said, "Dad, why didn't you prepare a wine glass for me and Rose? Are we two not qualified to drink your treasure?"

"You have to drive later, and Rose is going to drive four drones, so I can't let you two drive drunk."

Lin Zaishan sipped it and praised: "Good wine, this is the taste."

"You guy is not waiting for me." Schwaronson quickly followed me and sipped.

"Two drinkers, please forgive me for disturbing me." Rose said with a sarcasm, "Shouldn't we solve the urgent problem quickly?"

"I'll go now!" Lin Zaishan took the wine bottle, drank most of the bottle in one go, poured the rest on himself, and then jumped out of the car like lightning.

"I'll go! Such a good wine is like shampoo, you're such a slut." Jack complained.

Rose asked Schwaronson strangely: "Dad, you will make a noise so loud that the whole Hollywood can hear it when others sprinkle a drop of your treasured wine. Why did you not react at all when the slag forest ruined the entire bottle today?"

Schwaronson smiled and said, "My wine is the best. If I drink too much, I will become addicted. If I get addicted, I will become... Hehe, it is difficult for Zhalin to not enter our Apocalypse Knights."

"Scandal! Oh, no, I meant a good idea!"

//////////////

Lin Zai's mountain was covered in alcohol and walked towards the fruit forest in full view of everyone.

The powerful people who had seen the fruit forest just now reminded them: "Mr. Zhalin, be careful!"

Caroline quickly caught up with Lin Zaishan's hand, "You can't go into the fruit forest!"

"Why can't I?" Lin Zaishan burped.

"It's too dangerous in there. You'll die when you go in! We all need you to live well."

"Don't worry, Caroline, I'm as savage as a monkey, and I won't die so easily."

"Don't talk about monkeys, even if King Kong comes in, it won't come out." Caroline just held Lin Zaishan's hand tightly.

"Oh, I'm in a hurry to negotiate with the king of the apple tree. This is a major event that concerns the life and death of the entire team." Lin Zaishan emitted an electric current, broke free from Caroline's hands, and accelerated to the center of the road surrounded by the apple tree.

Before his body fell to the ground, the apple trees on both sides had already noticed that the heads of the trees had already made defensive reactions. However, Lin Zaishan did not move any other things after landing on the hill, but just stood quietly. The apple trees did not attack him.

Lin Zaishan stretched out a hand and slowly touched an apple leaf on his head, and instantly obtained a lot of information. "It turns out that there is indeed a king apple tree."

He immediately strode into the fruit woods. As soon as he entered, fruit trees immediately surrounded him from behind.

Everyone in the distance looked at this scene and was worried. Although Lin Zaishan was in danger rather than them, Lin Zaishan was really important. Under the current situation, if he died, the entire team would be trapped in a mess and be attacked by a group of corpses. I am afraid there would be very few survivors.

Caroline, who was at the forefront of the team, held her heart with her hands and prayed desperately for Lin Zaishan.

//////////////

The forest in the fruit forest walked for a short distance in the mountains and stopped, touching the branches, leaves and apples next to him with his hands to collect more information; at the same time, the headset was listening to the drone monitoring information sent by the communication command room on Schwaronson's RV. Fearing from being thrown by Apple, the drone's altitude in this area reached the limit of performance, and the monitoring screen effect was not very good.

Lin Zaishan used himself as the test subject and initially proved that wearing a strong smell of alcohol on his body would greatly reduce the hostility of the red apple tree. When he switched to the plant state of the man-eating vine tree, the red apple tree's attitude became more "friendly". But now he is facing a new problem: how to locate the apple king tree? You should know that this man is not like the old pine in the South Mountain for people to admire for years and take a photo. Lin Zaishan chose a location based on the information collected from several trees, but when he approached, he found that there was no expected target.

"I actually played hide-and-seek with me." He touched his chin. "Of course, it is possible that these fruit trees are lying to me and deliberately misleading me - after all, they are intelligent plants. However, this cannot help me. Measure how high the IQ of a fruit tree is? Even if the location information told by each fruit tree is error, this error must have a specific connection with the real position of the king apple tree. If I draw a large enough random sample, it is possible to reduce some of the errors, or discover certain patterns, and estimate the general position and probability of the distribution of the king apple tree. If Mr. Lin is there, I will know the answer in a few seconds; but now my IQ is already very high, and I can calculate it mentally."

Lin Zaishan immediately acted, spreading the energy beam of air sensation, extracting information from a large number of fruit trees, and then entering a stacked state of meditation and observation, and then entering a light spot crossing state from a stacked state of meditation and observation, and starting calculations.

His consciousness has been going through a long time, but in a real state

It's only a few seconds.

"Do it!" Lin Zaishan whistled and pretended to walk south for 7 steps, suddenly turned 180 degrees and rushed northward for 50 meters. Through the obstacles, he saw a green grassland. In the center of the grassland was a particularly thick apple tree. The trunk of this apple tree is at least twice as good as that, it is green all over the body, with lush branches and leaves. There are seven huge apples of different colors on the head of the tree. There is no scar on the whole tree, which looks full of vitality, arrogant and energetic.

"This should be the king apple tree, but the question is how should I communicate with Yikeshu?"

Lin Zaishan was wondering, a powerful energy radiated from the apple king tree and enveloped him. Then Lin Zaishan found himself entering the Void Arena, and the tree was standing in front of him.

//////////////

"No, didn't we say that we had a good conversation? Why did we have to fight again?" Lin Zaishan's scalp was numb when he thought of the duel arranged by Hei and White Shadow. Although he had benefited a lot from the duel in the past period, he was always fighting for his own life.

At this moment, the pleasant and cold voice said, "This intelligent plant solemnly asks you: leave their habitat quickly and do not harm it and its people."

Lin Zaishan said: "It seems that this kind of tree spirit invaded our earth first?"

"The other party said he hoped to resolve the current differences through negotiations."

Lin Zaishan said: "Okay, if you have a successful conversation, if you have a successful battle, who is afraid of whom here?" He had an impulse deep in his heart, wanting to kill the Apple King Tree in the duel and then seize the opponent's ability. However, since the opponent can easily put himself in the Void Arena, his strength should be above him. The magic weapon he won depends on the unpredictable combination of superpowers.

He was mentally prepared for the duel, but who knew that Apple King Tree's reply surprised him.

“The other party claims that as long as you agree to peacefully leave their habitat, they will not respond to attack.”
