Chapter 093: Being struck by lightning (with testimonials)
Recently, this novel has been a bit boring because it has been setting up the plot. I saw a lot of people supporting it in the comment area today. Thank you all... I have always had an idea to start my own business (not to write novels), and writing novels is
Just like starting a business, you will encounter many hardships and choices during the process, such as whether to continue writing? Should you change the novel? Which part of the book friends' opinions should you listen to? Is your choice right? Is your choice enough?
Smart?...So, I feel that writing a novel is not easier than starting a business. After writing this novel, I estimate that my psychological quality can be improved a lot. I will definitely write this novel with my heart, and I will definitely stick to it, and I will regard it as my own.
The goal of starting a business is the same, be diligent and determined. If you can't finish this novel, then you might as well go to work to start a business.
After the post "No strangers are allowed to enter and ask questions about the macaques in Amtu Town" was posted on the Internet, because Amtu Forest Town is now particularly prosperous, many people are paying attention to it, so this post was quickly forwarded across the country and was widely praised.
Some netizens learned this.
There were many replies to the post, but none of them got to the point.
However, some people speculated: "Is this caused by large-scale hunting? I have been traveling in Guanggui Province and encountered the same situation."
Netizens saw this reply and curiously searched the Internet. The search results shocked them. It turns out that poaching of various wild animals, especially macaques, is very rampant in Guanggui Province and has been exposed many times by TV stations from various places.
In the past, it was even exposed in a CCTV focus interview. The macaques there are also particularly vicious towards tourists, and there have been many incidents of macaques attacking tourists.
When I checked again in Yun Bien Province, I found that there have been a lot of killings of wild animals, some for delivery to restaurants and some for export. Many specialty game restaurants have specially set up monkey feasts, and monkey meat is blatantly eaten.
Placed on the table, this monkey feast is very popular and business is booming.
All kinds of shocking information and shocking photos have made most netizens furious.
"So those macaques are so pitiful..." Unknowingly, the tourists' resentment towards the macaques had gradually subsided, and they began to sympathize with the macaques.
In the evening, Yun Bien Provincial TV Station broadcast an inconspicuous weather forecast: "Yesterday, Typhoon Snow made landfall in Hanoi, Vietnam. This typhoon reached level 13 and is expected to affect most areas of Yun Bien Province.
The public and the government are kindly requested to pay attention to the weather forecast at all times."
However, many people did not notice this news.
The next day, more than a dozen compassionate tourists took the initiative to buy fruits and deliver them to the habitat of the macaques. As soon as the group of macaques saw them, they jumped and dodge, as if they were avoiding the god of plague. Their exposed
The looks of fear, resentment, and anger made the tourists feel a little sad and a little guilty.
More than a dozen baskets filled with fruits were placed on the ground, including bananas, grapes, cantaloupes, tomatoes, pineapples...all kinds of fruits, all in abundance. These carefully selected fruits also represent their goodwill.
Most of the people who can travel here are those who are tired of the heavy exhaust smoke and the environment of the steel forest; most of them are people who love nature and care for animals.
However, their goodwill did not make the macaques relax their vigilance. They all stayed in the trees, did not come down to get the fruits, and continued to throw branches down to hit people. The tourists had no choice but to retreat.
However, many people also made up their minds to deliver fruits every day during their stay in order to ease the hatred between the two parties.
And Aoki, while teaching relevant knowledge to the macaque leader every day, also kept teaching it how to distinguish between people who are good to them and people who are bad to them, and how to teach bad people a lesson and get close to good people.
On the afternoon of the third day, dark clouds covered the sky, and the sky was as dark as ink. The entire Banna area began to become dark. A strong wind began to blow in the sky, making all the trees creak.
Black clouds are pressing down on the city, ready to destroy it.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building.
Thick lightning flashed from a distance, piercing the darkness and becoming as bright as day.
"Crack! Boom! Boom!!!" In less than 1 second, the violent thunder echoed between the sky and the earth, deafening.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!!" A powerful rainstorm came, and big drops of rain continued to pour down from the dark clouds. The whole sky seemed like a waterfall.
All the tourists were frightened by the sudden heavy rain and hurried back to the gathering center. But Aoki continued to teach the leader of the macaques. It learned very quickly and completely surpassed Aoki.
of expectation.
"This kind of thing is called money, and it is used to exchange things with humans."
"Ah...!" Suddenly, Aoki felt as if he had been hit hard by a giant hammer, and then he fell unconscious and fainted.
At this time, what Aoki didn't know was that his body had just been violently struck by a thick bolt of lightning from the sky to the 112-meter tree crown, and it was struck straight down along the way. The surrounding area was filled with lightning and violent violence.
the breath.
"Pfft!!" The tree sections about 10 meters above the top of the tree crown were directly split into black carbon powder. After being exposed to wind and rain, they fell from the top one after another.
The two giant squirrels lived on the lowest branches, so they were fine. They were just knocked unconscious in their nests. The hamster living at the bottom of the tree ran out in the rain and stared blankly in front of them.
This tree is filled with sadness. Leopards are wailing, golden eagles are screaming, and everything in the valley is roaring, as if the end of the world is coming.
The Genki Research Institute in the military base.
At this time, the monitoring room was crowded with people, and there was silence. They all stared blankly at the photos on the 100-inch display screen on the wall.
The vitality mother tree, which they had always cherished as a treasure, was severely hit by a thunderstorm. The upper part was pitch black, and the surface of the branches all turned into charcoal. In the lower part of the tree, only withered branches and leaves were left.
There was silence in the monitoring room. There was no sound for a long time, as if they had lost their souls.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Jianhua, the head of the institute, was the first to react: "Immediately send someone over to collect samples and conduct a full-body examination and assessment of the Vitality Mother Tree to see what the current situation is."
Others were also awakened by Director Zhao's words and began to get busy. However, they were inevitably flustered in their hearts.
"I've grown too tall, and I'm going to shoot the first bird!" Many people sighed in their hearts.
Two hours later, the team sent out finally came back and took out parts of the bark, branches, and leaves from all heights on the trunk.
At the same time, there were many close-up photos brought back. The images in the monitoring room just now were taken from a distance, and the effect was not good. Judging from the close-up photos just taken, the vitality mother tree was extremely miserable after being struck by lightning.
The materials brought back were quickly analyzed and preliminary results were obtained: the bark tissue of the main trunk above 70-112 meters has been necrotic, and it should be impossible to re-grow. The surrounding branches from 80 meters to the top are basically destroyed and cannot re-grow. The remaining
The lower part is basically intact and can continue to grow.
After hearing that the lower body was still alive, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Starting today, our research institute will set up a team to study how to promote the growth of the vitality mother tree and restore it to its original level as soon as possible. Also, this accident reminds us that we must give all vitality as soon as possible.
Install lightning rods on the trees to prevent this from happening again."
After Director Zhao finished his instructions, he turned to his assistant and said, "Please prepare a piece of information for me. I will report this matter to the central government."
In a cold, dark, lonely space, boundless, soundless and colorless. Aoki's consciousness drifted in the endless darkness. He didn't know how many years, decades, hundreds or thousands of years had passed, without any concept of time.
Finally one day, Aoki's consciousness finally woke up, "I am Aoki! The consciousness of the World Tree!..."
"Where is this? Why am I here?..."
"I remember that I was imparting knowledge about female macaques, and then... then it was like being hit by a giant thing weighing ten thousand kilograms, and then... ah!!" Thinking of this, Aoki felt as if his consciousness was about to be torn apart.
"Where is this?? I want to get out!" Aoki struggled hard, but it had no effect at all. The surroundings were still dark and cold.
In the days that followed, Aoki wandered aimlessly in this cold, dark and lonely space. In such a space, the silence, darkness, and boundlessness all seemed to make people suffocate.
At the beginning, Aoki relied on his own perseverance to hold on.
But later, the endless darkness that didn’t know when it would end pressed on Aoki’s heart like a mountain. Anxiety filled his heart, making people mad. Every moment felt like a century had passed. It was full of depression, violence, and madness.
His entire consciousness was lost, and his consciousness felt like it was on the verge of collapse.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly one day, Aoki saw a glimmer of light in front of him. He was saved from a desperate situation. At this time, Aoki came back to life in the endless silence, and wanted to grab this life-saving straw.
Aoki desperately "floated" toward the light. He didn't know how long he floated, and finally he got close to the light. Aoki discovered that the light was a ball of light about the same size as his conscious body.
When Aoki tried his best to "float" to the side of the light ball, the light ball suddenly turned into a strip of colored light particles, which continuously penetrated into Aoki's consciousness.
