"Holy shit! This tree boat actually has training wheels, so it can walk on its own when the water is shallow!"
The huge tree had vaguely surpassed the limit of the flood, and a series of auxiliary wheels suddenly unfolded to assist its movement.
"Here, what the hell is this? There are tentacle symbiotic plants? It can automatically climb on rugged terrain."
The parasitic and symbiotic magic plants clinging to the bow and outside of the ship began to take action under the command of the "Astronaut Gardener".
Some helped with the movement, while others tore apart the remaining bricks and tiles, took out the injured survivors, and placed them gently on the boat.
Those parasitic magic plants are like dozens of automatically working robots, performing various rescue tasks perfectly.
The high-speed and precise movements made Lu Ping'an wonder if this person had selected the full weapon specialization (tentacle) of level 12, but upon closer inspection, he found that this was the automatic behavior of the magic plant and was not controlled by the gardener's body at all.
"How did you train this? Will the magic plant be so obedient?"
Outside the ship, there are several large magic plants that serve as the power source for the activities.
Due to the many power points and a sufficient number of auxiliary movement "equipment", this giant boat is much more flexible than expected.
The entire ark seemed to be moving slowly, but the places it walked through were clean. Most of the life in the eyes of the "life controller" cannot be hidden.
There were more and more people on the Ark, and Lu Pingping and Maomao also found jobs that suited them, and persuaded them to take refuge inside the ship.
In this regard, the brothers are always prepared. Not only have they prepared signs and slogans, but also have hot water and sufficient food reserves in the hollows of the trees. Just the smell of barbecue coming from the cabin reassures the shocked survivors.
A lot.
And those twisted tentacles in mid-air, as well as various supernatural scenes and monsters, also made people in this era when most of the mystery was still hidden, a lot of restraint.
Fear shaped the order of the first round.
"I...my family, my daughter..."
"Please, please kneel down. My home is in the south..."
But not all rescuers will obey orders honestly.
Their wails and screams are far less helpless than this "request".
Faced with these heartfelt pleas, Maomao quickly fell into a very embarrassing dilemma, even though he knew it was just a piece of the past.
Perhaps, it was precisely because it was a true lie, and precisely because everything had ended long ago, that she was so hesitant.
"We will rescue cats with the highest efficiency. We are a professional rescue team. Please trust us cats!"
She could only recite her lines insincerely.
"Even if you are professional rescuers, my family is not in this direction. Can you save us first?"
"Yes, please, five hundred thousand...I can even sell the house..."
"Are you a rescue team? Why is there a rescue team here? Did you already know that this was going to happen?!"
These words made Maomao even more flustered and even shaken.
The senior fellow students over there were even more evil-minded and busy, showing it clearly and pretending not to see it.
In a sense, this may also be a test for the younger generations...
"Go in, or I'll throw you down."
Lu Pingan smiled and said cruel words that the rescue team should never say.
"How could you do this? I want to report it...ahhhhh!"
The moment the first opponent spoke, dark tentacles suddenly appeared.
In an instant, the man was thrown out of the ship amidst screams.
"Report it? It's worth your life. Don't cause trouble to us. We are very busy, very busy."
Lu Ping'an, who was always smiling, chose the cruelest and most efficient way to deal with it.
And behind him, countless tentacles were either dancing wildly towards the sky or banging on the ship's deck like crazy. Their posture was like the devil coming to the world.
The screams of the unlucky man who was killed to scare the monkeys still echoed in the air. Immediately, the survivors entered the lower level much faster.
But this is still not the most efficient.
"You, you, you, stay, wait until someone comes up, and communicate with them. We need to focus on search and rescue, and don't let them interfere with our work, otherwise we will leave you behind too."
I casually clicked on a few strong men who seemed to be uninjured, and those cruel words made the survivors present more honest.
After most of the people got off, a tentacle quietly crawled back to the ship's deck, and hanging on it was an unlucky guy who had screamed until he fainted.
And this scene was naturally seen by the three senior brothers.
"a bit?"
"Eight points. Very decisive and efficient. Moreover, his abilities are similar to those of Laoguan. He should be very useful in rescue operations."
"Reason for the deduction of points?"
"If he is so rude, he will be complained to all. It will be very troublesome afterwards. It is definitely not a good thing to be his boss."
At this time, Lao Guan, whom they called Lao Guan, also walked up to Lu Pingan with a smile and asked his junior brother casually.
"You did a good job, but if it was a real rescue, could you be so decisive? You might actually die if you kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, but that is different from dying in a failed rescue. Even if you do a good job, you still have to save.
More mental preparation?”
This is a kind reminder from senior brother. It reminds Lu Ping'an that he has been awakened long ago so that he will not be timid in real encounters.
What he got was Lu Ping'an's smile as calm as before.
"If this were reality...hehe, I would probably go further."
Although there was no beginning or end, Guan Xinxian understood it instantly.
"Severe points deducted. Although I personally like your attitude, my junior brother, your superior will work very hard. They will probably help you write reports and finish them all day long."
The two senior brothers seemed to have given similar comments.
But surprisingly, none of them had any ill feelings towards this young man who acted recklessly.
"We are the Gucheng Special Disaster Rescue Team, the water detachment of the third team. It is our responsibility and job to save more people. Don't listen to those chicken soups for the soul and others. Our time is other people's lives, and neither are we professionals.
Ordinary rescuers, when necessary..."

"I met Xiao Sang when I was traveling in the East China Sea."
"At that time, it only had a little bit of it, a sapling less than half a person's height..."
"...I "selected" it when it was young. It was very hard to cultivate it because it grew too fast..."
"I need to find a small world for it to grow, so that it can freely show its beauty and strength..."
"...Does it like it? Why do you ask such a stupid question? I wonder how you learned the basic gardening course. Likes and dislikes in the human sense, and even the meaning of life, are all human.
Only such creatures can exist..."
"...What is it like to have the 'young' seeds removed from a fruit tree? What is it like to be confined to a wheat field and harvested regularly? It is probably torture by human standards, but it is meaningless in itself.
, plants are not animals, their desire for 'aliveness' and 'fast growth' far exceeds others..."
"Ahem, let's get back to the topic. As a bonsai artist, the first thing is to choose the protagonist in your 'scape', which is often the 'main landscape tree' with amazing potential. Don't forget that you are a 'pot' that provides living space.
The designer, who is the real protagonist..."
Under the guidance of his senior brother, not only did he gain a lot more understanding of the bonsai designer job, Lu Pingping even gained a lot of experience in the gardening system.
Being cruel to plants? The concept of cruelty is probably only possessed by animals.
What is the relationship between the new plant regenerated from cuttings and the original mother, and what are the offspring that it reproduces with the mother as a genetic copy?
Looking at plants from a human perspective is bound to make a mess. They are not the same thing at all.
This involves the fundamental difference between animals and plants, as well as the basic logical conflict of why animal trainers and gardeners cannot be both trained at the same time, so I won’t go into that for now.
At this time, Lu Ping'an was taught a lesson by his seniors.
Is it cruel to treat plants as ornamental trees? Regular pruning is torture? Those logs that have been cut down indiscriminately in the wild are deprived of even the chance of survival and the weeds probably don't even have the chance to make a sound.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an deeply understood why the first awakening power of the gardener was basically "listening to life".
When they hear for a long time the desire of plants to survive, grow and even reproduce, they will naturally throw away the rules and regulations that constrain themselves.
"...Using human ethics, our development and utilization of any plant is utilitarian and cruel, but for the plant we choose, it has the opportunity to defeat other similar plants in the competition for survival.
, so they will be relatively friendly to us, but they will deprive other plants of their chance of survival..."
A human catastrophe that kills thousands of people would be terrible. When the rice fields are harvested and the forest land is burned, "gardeners" go for a walk. The "howls" and "fear" of the harvest will make most gardeners suitable for this path.
, quickly discarding certain moral values that only apply to humans.
If we really want to use human moral standards to "anthropomorphize plants", gardeners, farmers and the like are extremely cruel professions in themselves, and humans who have to eat rice every day are probably cancer of the planet.
In fact, Lu Ping'an's time as a first-level gardener was too short, and his mastery of basic courses was not enough, so he asked some words that were unbelievable to a veteran.
At the same time, he also understood why bonsai artists and flower arrangers were regarded as two completely different paths despite their similar abilities and forms of expression.
"The 'flowers' of flower arrangers are dead. They use human aesthetics to create artificial landscapes with plant remains. On the other hand, the landscapes of bonsai designers are alive and changeable. The protagonist is actually the plant itself.
And it’s best to start cultivating them from young.”
In the early stage, the two performances are very similar, but as you go further, they become completely different.
The protagonist of a flower arranger is always a human being, and the core is the "beauty" composed of plant materials by humans, which is the subjective projection of their consciousness, similar to the "artificial art" like a painting.
The protagonist of the bonsai artist is the "tree", and the people are just assistants. Although it can also be called a work of art, what it pursues more is the "beauty of nature."
Some things can only be understood roughly from paper materials. Only when you really experience them will you find that they are completely different.
“Both of these paths are quite interesting, but to me, it seems like there’s no need to hesitate.”
