Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 79

"Recently, my little sister is in a bad mood. Today is her birthday. In order to make her happy, I took her to pick star grass by the Pearl River early in the morning. When I walked to Xiangli Street, I suddenly felt a little urgent to pee. I saw a bush nearby. , just hid behind for convenience. Who knows that within a few minutes, I heard the little girl yell——" the bearded man said that he was a little emotional here, and couldn't continue.

"What did you shout?" Ding Yu asked hurriedly.

The bearded man took a deep breath and calmed down: "I heard her shouting 'Zhou Mingxin, I know it's you, why do you keep avoiding me!' The little girl heard this sentence before she finished speaking' With a sound of 'ah', I quickly pulled up my pants and came out, only to find that the little girl had fallen on the ground without breathing, and there was no one around!" The bearded man clenched his fists as he said this.

Star grass is a kind of magical grass that only appeared after the end of the world. It only grows next to water sources that have not changed color and deteriorated. It only blooms at a certain time in the morning every day. The juice of this flower has a good whitening effect. Some people live better Women will even spend crystal cores to buy them.

"It's impossible. How could Zhou Mingxin run to such a remote place on Xiangli Street so early in the morning?" Ding Yu said in puzzlement.Although you will pass by here if you want to pick star grass, there are not many people who really want to go to the river early in the morning. After all, there are often strange animals on the other side of the river, which makes people daunting.

But Lin Rantong frowned, thinking over and over again what the bearded man's sister said: "Zhou Mingxin, I know it's you!" This sentence seemed normal at first glance, it was a story that had been messed up from beginning to end. It is a kind of reaction of a girl who abandoned her when she saw her lover, but Lin Rantong felt a little weird when he heard it. "I know it's you, I know it's you!" Lin Rantong kept murmuring these words, and in the fire and light, she finally understood what was wrong, "I know it's you", which proves that the bearded boy and sister saw When that man, that man covered his face!That's why she yelled "I know it's you" instead of "It's you".

Although the Ivy League team had never had contact with this Zhou Mingxin, there seemed to be a thread in the invisible that always connected them with Zhou Mingxin.According to Ding Yu, the mission of Mingxi Town was originally an ordinary task of collecting materials, but in the end, everyone almost never returned. Tang Tang and Ma Xiaoyan were knocked out and taken away by several people who covered their faces, and then It happened that the bearded man's sister had died unexpectedly, and the suspect was Zhou Mingxin.Lin Rantong had heard many times that no killing was allowed in the base, but the girl left her dead body lying on the street. An ordinary man just wanted to get rid of the entanglement of his ex-girlfriend.Suddenly, a bold guess passed in Lin Rantong's mind. The reason why the little girl was killed may not be because the man wanted to get rid of the entanglement, but was silenced!
Thinking of this, Lin Rantong felt cold all over, goosebumps appeared on his arms, but his thoughts became more open: why the little girl was silenced, there is only one reasonable explanation, she recognized that the person covering her face was Zhou Ming Xin!Assume that Zhou Mingxin is one of the few people who kidnapped Tang Tang and Tang Tang. These people are all hiding their faces. I met a few people, but I didn't hear that anyone else died. That's because in the base, people in all kinds of clothes abound. They are not conspicuous like this, but the little girl is different. She recognized Zhou Mingxin, which forced him to kill him!
"Captain Ding, if what this gentleman said is true, I have a hunch that he is probably the one who captured Tang Tang and the others!" Lin Rantong said, she had no choice but to gamble like this, because Apart from this, she really couldn't think of anyone who would be so thoughtful about them.

Ding Yu was startled when he heard this, and then his expression changed, and he said, "I'll send someone to find Zhou Mingxin right away!" After speaking, he led his team to the special warfare building. Wang Xing returned from completing his mission yesterday. There were many things before the two of them had time to meet, so it was more efficient to call him and the team members together.

"Sir, can you take me to Xiangli Street, my friend may also be captured by Zhou Mingxin." Lin Rantong said to the bearded man.

After some narration, the bearded man calmed down a lot. Hearing the words, he nodded, and led Lin Rantong to the place where his sister died in Xiangli Street. Looking at the blood stains on the ground, his face turned pale, and hissed, "Girl Come on, I'm going to look for that bastard!" After speaking, he ran away like a gust of wind.

Xiangli Street is a very quiet street, lined with acacia trees.The flowering period of this Albizia julibrissin tree should have been in June or July, but I don’t know whether it is because of the mutation after the end of the world or because the four seasons are like spring in the east. At this time, it is full of flowers, pink and fluffy, like a small fan Hanging all over the branches, as the breeze blows, you can smell an attacking fragrance.

The reason why Lin Rantong knows this acacia tree so well is because she was originally a master at raising any kind of flower, and when Liu Yuan took her out for a walk or play, he liked to hold her hand and feed her when he encountered flowers and plants. She explained.When I saw this acacia tree on a university campus that day, I told her a story: According to legend, the acacia tree was first called a bitter tree and did not bloom.A scholar named Han Chuang studied hard for ten years and was preparing to go to Beijing to rush for the exam.Before leaving, his wife Fan Fan pointed to the bitter tree in front of the window and said to him: "My husband will go to high school. It's just that the capital is full of flowers, don't forget the way home!" The scholar left as promised. , but never heard from again.Fan Fan looked forward and hoped at home, waited and waited, her hair turned gray, and she didn't wait for her husband's figure to return.When the end of her life was approaching, Fenfan dragged her sickly body and struggled to the tree of bitterness that confirmed her and her husband's oath, and swore a heavy oath with her life: "If my husband changes his mind, from now on, let This bitterness blossoms, the husband is the leaf, I am the flower, the flower will not grow old, the leaf will not fall, the whole life will be different, and the world will be happy!" After saying that, he died.In the second year, all the bitter trees really bloomed, but the flowering period was very short, only one day.Moreover, since then, all the leaves have also opened up in the morning and evening as the flowers bloom and wither.In order to commemorate the infatuation of fans, people also changed the name of bitterness tree to silk tree.

Lin Rantong was a little sad at the time, and became depressed. Liu Yuan held her hand and said, "My wife, don't be sentimental. 'Flowers never grow old, leaves never fall', just like us, how nice." into his arms.

Now, in this quiet street full of acacia trees, a girl was killed by the person she loved the most. Perhaps, behind the acacia tree was the bitterness, Lin Rantong stared at the glaring blood on the ground and thought.

In the dim corridor, two men opened a sack, revealing a woman's face. Her lips are not the small cherry mouth of a beautiful woman in the traditional sense, but slightly larger, full and plump, with a high bridge of nose and a tightly closed mouth. A pair of eyebrows on the eyes are particularly outstanding, slightly lighter in color, slender and smooth, like the Daisy in the distant mountains, the delicate and refreshing air brought by the eyebrows and the sexyness of the full lips are mixed together, forming a unique temperament.

The two of them showed no sympathy, and pulled the sack from behind, and the woman fell to the ground.

"Tsk tsk, this figure is so fucking hot!" a man muttered.

"Don't even think about it. After being used for a while, there will be no bones left. It's true to go to the unsheltered area to vent the fire later."

The two tied the woman's hands and feet with chains made of unknown material, lifted her up with lewd smiles, touched her, opened a door and threw the woman in, and then closed the door.

At this time, a man came over, with a straight figure and chic movements, but his peach blossom eyes gave him a hint of evil charm. Seeing the two of them closing the door, he asked softly, "How about the last one?" gone?"

"Yes, Captain, there are eight people in total, all of them are inside."

The man nodded with a smile in his eyes: "Good job, very good, very good!"

"Ah—" The two men had two water knives stuck between their necks, and slowly fell to the ground with eyes full of disbelief.

The man shook his hand, his voice was still extremely soft: "I'm sorry, you know too much, if you want to blame it, blame the higher authorities for not being at ease with you."

The woman was thrown into the house, and woke up slowly because of the impact with the ground. What came into view were the faces of several women, and they were all beautiful, each with its own merits.She blinked in confusion and asked, "Where is this?"

A woman with long wavy hair and a small red mole at the corner of her mouth said: "Here is another one, are you okay? We don't know where this is, but we found ourselves here when we woke up!" It turned out to be Tang Tang!

Tang Tang and Ma Xiaoyan came in not long before this woman, and they haven't figured out the situation yet. They just asked the girls in the room and found that everyone's situation is similar, but some of them were here several days ago, and one of them was already here. I've been here for half a month.Every woman's hands and feet are tied with strange chains.

Tang Tang and Ma Xiaoyan looked at each other in horror, locking so many girls together, could it be that here——

After all, Tang Tang is a few years older than Ma Xiaoyan, and he is more optimistic. After he calmed down, he chatted with a few girls and found that they were all supernatural beings or mutants. None of them were ordinary people, and they were all Alone, some were alone when they came to the base, some were teammates or relatives who died in accidents while doing missions or hunting, and so on.

"Tang Tang, why do I feel that these mysterious people are looking for single girls? Sister Lin and the others haven't come back from their missions. Could it be related to this?" Ma Xiaoyan is indeed a smart girl. After listening to their conversation carefully , something feels wrong.

Tang Tang nodded: "I also feel this way, but this is too bizarre, how do they know that Rantong and the others are on a mission, and they can even predict that the two of us will stay at home?"

The woman who just came in looked to be between 25 and 6 years old, and her face was much calmer than other girls. After listening to the general description, she asked, "Don't all of you have any relatives and friends to contact at the base?" Is it gone?"

The girls shook their heads, Tang Tang asked: "So what if there is? We are trapped here and can't get in touch!"

The woman looked at Tang Tang, and said word by word: "Who says you can't get in touch, I can!"

At this moment, the door was opened with a "wow", and a man who covered his face grabbed a woman and turned away without saying a word.
