"What are you?"
Wu Ming was startled by the sudden crisp sound behind him. He turned around suddenly and found a young man standing not far behind him. The man was wrapped in a tattered black robe and carried a black iron sword on his back. The black mask almost covered most of the boy's face, leaving only his mouth exposed. The boy seemed to be examining Wu Ming through the goggles on the mask and asked again: "What are you? "
Wu Ming is not sure what the situation is now. The masked young man in front of him seems to be the only way for him to obtain information and intelligence. In order to obtain more intelligence and information, the reply should try to fit the current world view as much as possible. He couldn't come up with something like "I came from the Tang Dynasty in the East to worship Buddha and learn scriptures in the West." Wu Ming estimated that if he dared to say that, the masked boy would immediately pick up the black iron sword and give it away. Go to the West by yourself...
Unfortunately, he didn't control his mouth in time. When Wu Ming's brain was seriously considering how to reply, his late-stage meme lover's habit made him subconsciously say a clever answer.
"Servant, Saber came here in response to her tragic wish to save the world. Are you my master?"
"Throw...throw a net? Silly...stupid? Scold him to death?" The masked boy seemed to have never expected that Wu Ming would answer his question like this, and he didn't know whether it was the latter's loose English or the weird accent that bothered him. In response, he cautiously grasped the hilt of the black iron sword and maintained a fighting posture ready to attack at any time: "For the last time, who are you? You are simulating human beings on this dying planet where humans have long been extinct. What is the purpose of its appearance?"
"Wha...what?" Wu Ming heard questions in his head: "I just went out to save someone, why did humanity die again?!"
Wu Ming didn't know why he used 'and'. Maybe it was because he had been baptized by too many film and television literary works on topics related to the destruction of humankind and the destruction of civilization. He felt that he had no real understanding of the destruction of civilization and the destruction of humankind, even if After seeing the ruins of human buildings with his own eyes, and hearing with his own ears the masked boy's words that humankind had perished, Wu Ming could only express one sentence.
"Excuse me, aren't you human?"
Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to further ask for more information, but what Wu Ming didn't expect was that the young man in front of him could not stand the teasing, and he quickly pulled out the sword and pointed it at him.
In this world, the method used by the Masked Boy to tell whether the opponent is an enemy is very simple - everything that is alive and moving except him is an enemy, because the infection of the Tree of Life has long been spread all over the world, and in today's world In the earth's environment, the only creatures other than him that could survive were servants infected and controlled by the Tree of Life.
The original normal creatures on the earth have been completely extinct due to that cataclysm. Even if they are not extinct, they will be destroyed by the subsequent invasion of the tree of life. The tree of life and its servants will attack everything that is not infected by them and does not belong to their cluster. After so many years, the environment has deteriorated to the point where even the atmosphere is close to disappearing on the dead planet. As the last human individual, he is the only one left in the cluster of life forms formed by the Tree of Life and its servants.
It's just that after so many years of dealing with the Tree of Life, he has never seen a servant of the Tree of Life in human form. Those servants of the Tree of Life in the past have not shown the tendency to be logical and intelligent, and most of them are imprinted in their genes. An infected creature controlled and driven by instinct and supreme command, but now a creature with intelligence and logic and even an appearance no different from a human has appeared. Does this mean that the tree of life has evolved to the next stage and is beginning to prepare? Re-deduce ecological evolution? Or is it that although the tree of life has not evolved to the next stage, it has created individuals with intelligence and logic through clever methods?
All kinds of questions lingered in the mind of the masked boy, which forced him to be so wary of Wu Ming.
Of course, Wu Ming, who had just arrived, naturally didn't know these things. Now he wanted to pull out the settings about the servants and heroic spirits in his mind and talk to the Masked Boy, trying to stabilize the Masked Boy's emotions first - Of course, it is through deception, and then we can get more information and intelligence about the world from the young man, and find out what kind of punishment this world has suffered and what happened.
But things didn't go as planned. As soon as Wu Ming started talking, a sudden change occurred.
The surrounding vegetation suddenly came to life. This was not a metaphor, nor was it personification, but it really came to life. The jungle, which was originally so quiet that no insects could be heard, suddenly appeared in all directions. The sound sounded like something crawling in the jungle. Several trees in the distance that looked like weeping willows also underwent some inexplicable changes. Wu Ming saw with his own eyes that the weeping branches fluttering in the wind were moving in the direction of the human eye. The visible speed increased rapidly, and it extended towards Wu Ming's position with bared teeth and claws!
The jungle has changed. Those plants...or the entire jungle seems to have come alive under the influence of some abnormal force. The jungle composed of ferocious demonized plants has now turned into a terrifying monster that chooses people to eat. Wu Ming and the masked boy opened their bloody mouths to swallow them whole!
"Hostile response detected! A huge number is approaching quickly!"
The auxiliary device's considerate but useless enemy-finding prompt sounded in his head at the right time. At this time, the atmosphere in the jungle was so weird that even an individual could tell it was abnormal. Wu Ming never thought that he would be the first to find enemies today. It was such a fulfilling and exciting day at work. During the day, I was thrown into the shadow world and almost couldn't come back. In the afternoon, I took the initiative to go shopping in the shadow world and met a new friend. And now I have to fight with a bunch of plants!
Listen, fight with a group of plants! This kind of thing would have been unthinkable for Wu Ming before he entered the office, let alone fighting plants. Even if he took a step back and let him fight with plants, he would have never dared to think about it. Now he not only has to fight plants, but also has to fight with plants. A group of plants fight!
If you lose in a fight with these plants, wouldn't it be embarrassing and embarrassing? !
Persona·The Sword in the Stone!
The golden ceremonial knight sword appeared in his hand as the mask disappeared. Wu Ming brushed it twice and easily cut off the hanging branches that came to him. These plants alone are not very powerful in combat. With the Sword in the Stone in hand, Under the circumstances, they are not even as good as shadow monsters, but the huge number of them coming from all directions makes people feel numb. If they are barrage-type trypophobia patients, they may now start to cry out that they are uncomfortable and want to roll on the ground. , and although Wu Ming has the enhanced physical fitness and the Sword in the Stone to maintain the situation, if this situation continues, he will definitely be beaten to the ground in the end...
"We can't stay in the jungle any longer! We have to find a way to get out!"
