The process of seeds falling to the ground seems very long, but in fact it only takes a few breaths.
In the Dawn's command room, all six eyes were focused on the soil there, all waiting for the World Tree to sprout.
About half a minute passed, and a small green bud emerged, and then began to grow and grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The small buds grew into small saplings in a short time, and the small saplings turned into big trees. In just a few minutes, a huge tree with a height of at least fifty meters appeared in front of them.
This is the branch of the World Tree, which is the first step used by Zhang Xiaoman to build a lunar base.
The size of the branch is obviously much smaller than the main body. According to the information given by Star Rank, the range of its shield generation is only a quarter of the main body.
But it doesn't matter. For Zhang Xiaoman, even if it is only a quarter of the size, it is enough for him to complete the preliminary construction work on the moon.
After all, the area of the World Tree's main shield is already large enough, much larger than a Qionghua City.
A quarter of the area is more than 2,000 square kilometers.
Below, with the emergence of the World Tree, a shield was also generated, and the bugs in this area had completely become turtles in a urn.
On the other side, the star guard holding chemical fertilizer also sprinkled the strangling vine defense module. The size of the world tree increased again, and the range of the shield also expanded.
"Xiao Man, are these the alien species you are talking about? Do you usually fight them specifically?"
Master Liu finally recovered from the series of shocks and asked Zhang Xiaoman beside him in disbelief.
"Yes, Mr. Liu, with the arrival of the great fusion in the future, there will be more and more of these things, so this is why I have to prepare you in advance."
Zhang Xiaoman responded.
Master Liu clicked his tongue and sighed:
"I'm old, I'm really old. The world is changing so fast now, Mr. Liu, I can't understand it anymore."
"Hehe, don't worry, Mr. Liu. Although these mutants look quite ferocious, they are all just showy. If you don't believe me, just look at them."
Zhang Xiaoman comforted the other party. As his words fell, the battle situation below suddenly changed.
Hundreds of vines were seen rising up from the ground, and the wild insects that were still surrounding the star guards were instantly affected. They were all entangled one by one, and were completely torn apart in the wail.
Things changed so fast that Pei Laoliu didn't even react, and the battle ended suddenly.
"Uh... Xiao Man, what was the name of the move you just made?"
"It's called 'Strangling Vine'. What's wrong, Mr. Liu?"
Pei Laoliu was heartbroken: "Hey, what do you want me to say to you? You have such a powerful trick, you should use it from the beginning. You can't let the soldiers lose their lives in vain just to show off in front of your Master Liu." !”
Zhang Xiaoman's face was full of black lines.
"Sixth Master, have you forgotten? Those are just spreading the beans into soldiers."
Pei Laoliu was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said:
"Oh, I'm getting old...those immortal soldiers look very alive, just like real people. I couldn't help but forget about it."
"And Mr. Liu, please don't bury me. That move just now was not done by me, but by the big tree below."
"Big tree? Is this the legendary sacred tree? Is it Fusang or Jianmu? Or Ruoshu? Or Xunmu?"
"No, Mr. Liu, please stop guessing. This is just a StarNet extension I planted."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the successfully constructed World Tree framework below and felt very happy.
The reason why he went to great lengths to build this place into a branch base was that in addition to fighting against the Zerg, he also wanted to develop and utilize lunar resources.
As long as there is this world tree, the air within the shield will gradually improve.
In less than a month at most, humans will be able to carry out activities within this shield.
At that time, with the help of the roots of the World Tree, the mineral deposits on the moon can be mined simply by him.
At this time, the branch of the World Tree below has completely completed its growth. Its height has reached 70 meters, which is almost the same as a 20-story building.
Just when Zhang Xiaoman had stopped here, he was surprised to find that in the open space not far in front of the World Tree, several thick root vines broke out of the ground, clinging to each other, and finally turned into a huge door. door.
The height of this door is nearly half of the World Tree. It is composed of emerald green vine roots, with a milky white light emanating from the middle. It looks very extraordinary.
When Zhang Xiaoman saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly felt very familiar. He closed his eyes and felt the extra feeling in his heart, and then he suddenly realized.
"This door actually leads to the original world!"
He was surprised, and at the same time he understood that after the branches of the World Tree were planted, there was also a door to the original world.
"There is already a final door in the main base on Aquamarine. If this is the case, then this door will be called...'The Door Under the Tree'."
Zhang Xiaoman thought about it secretly in his heart, and then gave this door a name.
At the same time, he also began to make calculations.
Since the transfer between Aquamarine and the Moon can be carried out through the original world, is it necessary for him to upgrade the original space in advance?
At least it must meet the conditions for human beings to survive, so that it can play the role of a transfer station.
However, the development of the original world will consume a large amount of his stardust. Obviously, the portion of stardust drawn every day is basically not enough. He must spend points to redeem it.
This will undoubtedly be a big investment.
After finishing the matter here, Zhang Xiaoman withdrew the Star Guard's summons.
The moon base below is already protected by a shield, and coupled with the defense methods of strangulating vines, even if it encounters the last batch of insect swarms, it can easily resist it.
Now we only need to wait for about a month for World Tree to complete the environmental transformation here.
At that time, he can send personnel to station here, and even build a scientific research laboratory here directly.
After all this is done, the next step is for Mr. Liu.
Zhang Xiaoman summoned a Star Paladin, then took out the awakening materials he had reserved and began to carve out the Spirit Awakening Array.
Now he no longer needs Lin Sisi's help in painting. The newly summoned Paladin is fully capable of painting.
However, considering the sense of ritual, when it came to awakening the members of the Star Alliance, he still chose to leave this task to Lin Sisi to complete.
In this way, Liu Ye's awakening ceremony began.
The whole process went smoothly without any surprises, because Liu Ye's entire right hand was pressed by Zhang Xiaoman's dark energy shock, and he was unable to escape from the Spirit Awakening Array.
And as expected, what Liu Ye was afraid of was the scene when his former wife, Zhang Xiaoman's grandmother, passed away.
However, Liu Ye's mental power seemed to be pretty good. Zhang Xiaoman felt that even if he didn't use dark energy shock to help him, he should be able to successfully complete the awakening with his own strength.
Through this, Zhang Xiaoman also confirmed one thing.
That is, among ordinary humans, most people's mental power increases with age.
Just like Ye Cang, Su Fu and others, the older they are, the greater the probability of successful spiritual enlightenment and the less time it takes.
On the other hand, among those young people, except for a few with strong willpower, most of them will sink deeper and longer in the process of awakening.
After helping Mr. Liu complete his awakening and arranging several three-piece novice suits for him, Zhang Xiaoman used the remaining time to give him some basic explanations.
If Mr. Liu still encounters problems after returning, he can also ask Ye Cang, or contact him directly through his watch.
From then on, Master Liu finally transformed from an old stickman who traveled around the world to a person with truly extraordinary power.
…
Five days later, Eero.
It is located in a small village 275 kilometers away from Hurghada.
This is a place called Hachitutur, a small village that cannot be found on the map.
I think there are many such villages in Hérault, most of which are in relatively remote areas with poor living conditions. The small town of Qiqituk where Zhannan was previously located is one of them.
But Qiqituk now is completely different from before, and it can no longer be compared with a place like this.
After Jannan agreed to use the Nocash treasure to transform the environment here, a group of construction teams from the Covenant began to develop there.
Although the development work was very difficult due to environmental and other factors, the project continued in an orderly manner despite Zhannan's financial ability.
On the contrary, compared to the small town of Qiqituk, small villages like Hachitutur are not so lucky.
Dryness and desolation are still the main themes here. Walking on the street, you can't even see a pedestrian. No one wants to go out in this kind of weather, which will undoubtedly accelerate their loss of physical strength.
At this time, four outsiders stepped into the land here. Their sophisticated equipment and neat clothes seemed to be incompatible with the surrounding environment.
"Hey! Guys, is it a little too quiet in here?"
A dark-skinned man wearing a turban said.
Beside him were two male and one female teammates, who were walking on the streets of Hachitutur Village.
After the black sniper Ciro said what he just said, he couldn't stand the heat. He took out a bottle of water from his backpack and drank a few sips. Then he found an eaves and sat down.
"Hey, brothers, I think we should stop and find each house now to ask about the situation. Keeping searching aimlessly like this is not an option."
On the side, the other people also stopped. It was obvious that like Silla, their physical strength had temporarily reached a limit and they needed to take a rest.
"I really can't figure out why that guy from Xizal lives in such a remote place. If it weren't for the terrain vehicles outside, we should have completed the task long ago."
Weiss opened his backpack and counted the remaining supplies dejectedly.
"I still have four biscuits here, and only 1,700 ml of water left. According to the current weather, we may only be able to hold on for half a day."
Anna, the demolitionist in the team, also took a look at her own supplies and said:
"I still have five biscuits and only 1,500 ml of water. We must find the target within 4 hours, otherwise we will have to return unless we can find drinking water supplies from local residents."
"I agree……"
The person who spoke was Mikel, a man with facial paralysis, who still looked as serious as before.
In this way, a sniper, a demolitionist, an intelligence agent, and Weiss, the captain who is good at assault operations, the four members of the Wildfire Team are all together this time.
After finishing a simple lunch, Wes stood up first. He clapped his hands and said to several others:
"Okay, the rest time is over, everyone cheer up. According to the location reported, Xizar is near this village. As long as we find him, this mission will be half completed."
His words were like a shot in the arm, immediately cheering up everyone who was already a little depressed.
"Hey, Weiss, I'm actually quite grateful to this Sizal. If it weren't for the clues he provided, we might have had to participate in the test of the Raushi Awakener."
Silla shrugged, looking frightened.
Weiss nodded and said:
"To be honest, that Bell is really a devil instructor. I think that kind of intense test is simply not something that anyone can bear. I'm afraid even our group of old hunters may not be able to succeed, let alone the group of newcomers. .”
Anna wondered at the side: "Huh? I remember that this test said that two little guys passed it? They seemed to be called Aaron and Beina."
"Yes, I know, those two guys who train risklessly all day are just two little perverts, just like their instructors!"
Silla interjected.
The few of them just chatted and chatted, and by the way, they habitually cleaned up the traces left by the lunch they had just had.
"Let's go, I heard there is an inn ahead. Let's go there to find supplies, and also ask about Xizar's news."
Weiss spoke, and everyone moved forward. Because it was their first time here, they were very unfamiliar with the environment. In addition, this so-called hotel did not have any signboard at all, so everyone searched for it for a long time but could not find it.
"Something's wrong, something is really wrong here."
Anna looked at the closed houses around her, her face full of doubts.
During this period of time, several people also tried to ask the residents here, but every household had their doors closed, and the town was dead silent.
If they hadn't heard the sounds of human activities when they passed several houses, they would have thought that they were in a deserted town.
