Cong Xia shouted twice in the depths of the forest. Just when he thought Devil Pine would not pay attention to him, the soil not far away in front of him was suddenly arched from the ground. Then, a piece of thick tree roots circling and rising, while transforming into a human form. Soon, Devil Pine appeared in front of everyone with naked body, but he still had a dark brown tree root connected to the soil from below his waist.

Devil Song looked impatient, "What's the name? Are you leaving?"

Cong Xia smiled and said, "I'm leaving now. I want to tell you and Mu Fei apart. We plan to set off to Yunnan within three to six months, and we will definitely carry your house back."

"Oh, whatever you guys, for me, half a year is just a small part of my long life, but you may not be able to live too long, hurry up."

Cong Xia smiled dryly and said, "I just think this is a blessing, and we will definitely come back alive."

Devil Song said with a usual (--) expression: "It doesn't matter whether you come back or not, carry the house back."

"must."

"Go away now, no garbage is allowed."

"Don't worry, everything is cleaned up." Cong Xia said flatteringly: "Mr. Songshu, let's say apart from Mu Fei."

Devil Song looked at him for a while, then rolled his eyes, and waved his hand, the soil beside it was arched by the tree roots. Mu Fei appeared in front of them with a (^^) expression that was exactly the same as Devil Song, but was completely different.

Mu Fei smiled and said, "You are leaving..." He sighed, with a hint of loneliness in his expression and tone.

Cong Xia said: "Well, we have to go back to make ourselves stronger so that we can go to Yunnan, Qinghai, and Nanhai. No matter what, we will definitely bring your house back."

Mu Fei smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, even if there is no house, I am willing to give you the puppet jade unconditionally, but..." He glanced at Devil Song, Devil Song twisted his head, and said, "I think my longing for home has also affected it. After all, our thinking is understood. Don't worry, this piece of jade will be left to the moment you return here."

Everyone was full of affection for Mu Fei. After all, without him, they would not know what price they would have to pay to get the puppet jade of Devil Pine. It was because Devil Pine had "human nature" that they could lose a super strong enemy. This was all Mu Fei's credit.

Cong Xia stretched out his hand at Mu Fei and said sincerely: "Thank you."

Mu Fei reached out his hand and held Cong Xia. The hand was cold and there was no trace of human warmth, but it still made Cong Xia feel warm from the bottom of his heart.

"We're leaving."

Mu Fei nodded with a smile, "Go, Commander Zhang promised us that he would ask Saner to help us deliver some things regularly in the future. I don't think I will be as lonely as before."

Devil Song curled his lips, "You are a tree, why are you afraid of loneliness?"

Mu Fei said: "But I am also a human being."

The devil suffocated and said, "But you have me too."

Mu Fei blinked, then smiled, "That's right, but I still need some human things. After all, I have been a human for more than 20 years and a tree for a year."

The Devil Pine said, "You have to be a tree that lasts hundreds or thousands of years. Sooner or later, you will get used to it."

Mu Fei smiled but said nothing.

Zhuang Yao said to San'er: "I'll ask you for your affairs here in the future."

San'er touched her hair, and a bold smile appeared on her childish face, "Don't worry, with pine trees covering us, everyone's life will be much better in the future, and everyone in my village will be happy."

The expressions on everyone's faces were relaxed, which was a happy ending. They had originally imagined how many resources they needed to mobilize to deal with Devil Song, and even considered nuclear weapons, but they did not expect that they could solve them peacefully. Think about it carefully, this is the only good thing they encountered after the end of the world without side effects, which can be called "lucky".

They got into the military car and drove out of the forest. Devil Song and Mu Fei stood there and watched them.

After walking far, I could still see Mu Fei waving at them with a smile, and then being dragged into the ground by the Devil Pine and disappeared.

Deng Xiao sighed: "What a great brother, but unfortunately he has to be trapped here with a tree for the rest of his life."

Liu Fengyu said: "It may not be bad either. I see the two of them, yes, each one is one tree, and they get along very harmoniously."

"But I can't go anywhere, I can only move in this forest. If I do, I will be very annoyed."

Zhuang Yao said: "You think everyone has ADHD like you."

Deng Xiao curled his lips, "Xiao Zhuang Yao, you deserve a beating again."

Cheng Tianbi looked back at the body of the Devil Pine that entered the sky, "Its lifespan is so long, it shouldn't be here for the rest of its life. After all, there is a human living in its body. Since the human thoughts and emotions can infect it, one day it will be curious about the outside world."

Zhuang Yao nodded, "It will be a good time sooner or later, but it will go out of here. The Northeast region will definitely experience a major earthquake. I hope it can make this decision carefully, otherwise everyone around will be in trouble."

Everyone looked at the Devil Pine in silence. No matter how far they walked, it was still the most eye-catching landmark. It was not until they boarded the plane and flew towards the Lions that the Devil Pine gradually disappeared from their sight.

The plane landed at the airport of the Beijing Military Region around 3:00 that afternoon. In order to save energy, they planned to go back in Abu.

They and Li Daoai broke up at the airport.

Li Daoai shook hands with everyone one by one, "Thank you for your cooperation this time, and I hope there will be a chance to go on a mission together in the future."

Shen Changze said: "There will definitely be."

Zhuang Yao looked up at Li Daoai, "Officer Li, go back and develop your abilities well. If you need help, you can come to me. I can formulate a training plan for you for free."

Li Daoai smiled and said, "I will come to find you."

Li Daoai and Zhao Zixiang sat on Huo Bai, and Huo Bai shook his hair, "Goodbye everyone." The tall and mighty lion galloped into the distance.

Tang Tingzhi gave a few instructions to the captain of the airport company who came to pick him up and asked him to help transport some samples and experimental items on the plane back to the Academy of Sciences. They jumped onto Abu and ran towards the Academy of Sciences.

Cong Xia said: "I thought my second uncle would send someone to pick us up."

"He wanted to send someone to come. He had contacted him once every two days before. I told Professor Cong that he would arrive tonight or tomorrow, but we arrived earlier than expected. However, the airport people should have contacted him and he will greet us at the Academy of Sciences."

Cong Xia felt a little relieved when he thought of seeing his second uncle soon.

As they ran, everyone suddenly felt a small wave of energy crawling through the ground. Then Abu screamed suddenly and jumped forward with a big step forward.

Everyone looked down and saw a group of egg-sized cockroaches on the ground, with more than a hundred people running around without direction. Many of them were trampled to death by Abu suddenly, and some of them crawled up along Abu's legs.

Abu was quite tired of these things and shook his body while screaming.

It carried ten people on it, and almost shook them all down. Zhuang Yao grabbed its ear and shouted, "Abu, stop moving!"

The sky wall blew all the cockroaches away with a strong wind, and Abu finally calmed down.

They turned around and saw that the cockroaches crawled towards them without hesitation.

"Abu, go quickly!"

Although these cockroaches have average attack power, their vitality and reproductive ability are extremely strong. The appearance of groups can make people feel annoyed. But today it is a bit abnormal. Seeing that such a large animal as Abu doesn't hide, they crawl towards it instead?

Abu ran very fast and easily got rid of the cockroaches. But to their surprise, on the more than ten kilometers of the airport and returned to the Academy of Sciences, they encountered three or four waves of cockroaches. Moreover, after arriving in the city, they found that there were almost no one on the street, and occasionally a few of them came out to do business, all of whom flew directly from the sky.

They realized something was wrong, and there must be a new type of mutated cockroaches. In the early days of the apocalypse, in order to deal with mutated cockroaches, the 35th Army of that year was seriously injured. Now these cockroaches have come back again. They can't kill them and destroy them without realizing them. Even if all humans die, this group of low-level insects will still laugh to the end.

Back at the Academy of Sciences, the gate of the Academy of Sciences was closed, and the smell of unpleasant disinfectants were emitting.

Abu jumped directly into the wall, the courtyard was empty, and some cockroaches crawled around on the ground, some were poisoned and moved slowly, while others were still very strong.

Cheng Tianbi frowned, "Even cockroaches are in here? They are not afraid of the smell of potion like this."

Tang Ting's Way: "This group of cockroaches is different from the group of mutated cockroaches in the early stage of the apocalypse. They are big, have the ability to glide. If they continue to evolve, they may fly, which will be even more troublesome."

Cong Xia said: "What's going on? It's only ten days before we left, and the whole city of cockroaches were everywhere? Suddenly, collectively mutated?"

"No, the situation in Beijing has been stable for a long time. There are regular troops to deal with mutated animals and plants with widespread threats. The radiation of the puppet jade has also been blocked. It is impossible for animals and plants to become so fast. Either the concentration of Cambrian energy suddenly increased during this period, or it is... artificial."

Artificial...

At this time, Cong Zhenzhong walked out with a group of people, and they were wearing boots that were growing above their knees.

"Second Uncle!" Cong Xia looked at Cong Zhenzhong's pale and tired face, and his heart sank.

Cong Zhenzhong said, "Don't come down first and go in a little."

The guard behind him walked to them with a sterilization pot, spraying the pot of medicine on the ground, and setting a way for Abu.

The cockroaches smelled the potion and fled, and Abu carried everyone into the third area.

Cong Zhenzhong said quickly: "Let Abu stay in the hall these days first. The ceiling here is high enough to stand up, but the space for movement is a little smaller, but it cannot live outside, and there are cockroaches everywhere."

Everyone slid down from Abu one by one, and Tang Tingzhi asked hurriedly: "What's going on? So many cockroaches suddenly appeared?"

Cong Zhenzhong said in a deep voice: "It was Zhuang Yu who did it."

Sure enough, when Tang Tingyi mentioned artificiality, the first thing they thought of was Zhuang Yu.

"Come in with me."

Everyone followed Cong Zhenzhong upstairs, and Cong Zhenzhong took them to an experimental area on the fourth floor. This place was originally for seed tests, but now there are piles of cockroach samples in several laboratories.

Cong Zhenzhong took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, "These cockroaches started to appear about three days after you left. I didn't tell you that they didn't want to distract you. You can't help you even if you are so far away. In the past seven days, the size of these cockroaches increased by 18% on average. Their wings and mouthparts have evolved very clearly. They have primary gliding ability and can bite off human skin. They have started to attack animals in the past two days."

Zhuang Yao said calmly: "Professor Cong, you should have not had a rest for more than 30 hours. Your brain wave intensity is only 20% of the usual ones. Your language organization ability has seriously decreased. You should go to bed now."

Cong Zhenzhong sighed, "You are right. Let me explain the matter to you clearly, and I will go and rest."

Cong Xia frowned deeply and felt very uncomfortable.

Cong Zhenzhong closed the door of the conference room, opened the slide, and showed them a group of images of cockroach evolution, "This is their evolution in the past seven days, and the changes can be seen with the naked eye."

"How could it evolve so fast... Such rapid evolution only occurred in the early stages of the apocalypse, and later the evolutionary speed of most species gradually slowed down."

"This kind of monster was created by Zhuang Yu. Their fertility is amazing. It takes a few days to spread throughout the city, and there is no effective way to eliminate it. Traditional potions were effective for them at the beginning, but they actually evolved to resist. You have seen it in the courtyard just now. Some cockroaches died and some struggled to survive. These surviving cockroaches, their descendants who were born in three days, will no longer be afraid of our medicine."

Cong Xia said angrily: "Zhuang Yu doesn't want the whole city to be eaten by cockroaches."

Cheng Tianbi said: "Zhuang Yu has been planning for a long time and chose to release these mutated cockroaches at the most tense moment of the 14th Army and the 27th Army. He must have a plan. He has not made any request yet?"

Cong Zhenzhong said: "Not yet, he wants to force us to the point where he can't bear it. If we negotiate the conditions, the situation will be more beneficial to him."

Zhuang Yao clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "He must have a way to stop these cockroaches. Can't we think of a way?"

"We are studying ways to deal with this group of cockroaches day and night, but these cockroaches are almost a new species after three generations, and the drug researched soon becomes invalid. We found that these cockroaches have a unified genetic defect, which gives them superpowers, rapid reproduction, strong body, and drug resistance. The price of these superpowers is extremely short lifespan. This mutated cockroach usually lasts five days, but it only takes three days from birth to breeding to the next generation, so there are always new cockroaches to fill the dead cockroaches, and the number of cockroaches is increasing."
To be continued...
