the last gentleman

Chapter 89 Rules and High Walls



Chapter 89 Rules and High Walls
Yi Chen has been observing the so-called interim person in charge - Wilmer,
Whether it is words or actions, as well as the eyes in various situations, there is a sense of powerlessness.

This feeling of powerlessness, he had seen too much in the orphanage before his death,
When many people of the same age have received special education and recognized the real side of the orphanage, their originally clear eyes will be slowly eroded by a dull substance that symbolizes "powerlessness".

Until it is completely occupied and becomes 【Despair】.

"These gentlemen are not bad in themselves, but they don't have any courage to explore... The situation in the forest is indeed worse than expected.

I estimate that the two teams lost in the forest are the main force of the Black Eye Stronghold.

They may still be alive, and if we can find them during the exploration, we should be able to get more information and greatly shorten the investigation time. 』

Yi Chen quickly flipped through all the information given by the stronghold within 1 minute,
As the interim person in charge said, there is very little information, and there is not even any explanation of the situation, degree of ashes, and impact of Shepherd Village, let alone the church.

There are only a few survey reports on plant walls,

It is enough to show that none of the investigators who entered the tree wall came out and could not bring out any valid information.

However, there are a few things worth noting about the information about the high wall of plants.

[Infinite growth], [Baby crying], [Blood-like sap]

These key words were recorded by Yi Chen,

Then I looked at the rules about Shepherd Village,

These [rules] are written by high-ranking gentlemen with predictive abilities in Zion City, and they are life rules specially set for a certain area.

As long as you follow these rules in your daily life, you can greatly reduce the chance of getting sick.

The content is as follows:

≮Village residents in Jose Valley should follow the following rules in daily life to ensure your safety≯

1. When the villagers are hunting in the forest area, if the prey (mammals) caught are pregnant, please release them immediately.

If the pregnant prey dies, burn it on the spot and bury the ashes under a nearby tree.

Remember, no more than one burial is allowed per tree.

2. Livestock raised in the village must be strictly divided into genders, and the breeding time can only be selected in winter every year.

If an animal conceives during an inappropriate season, or conceives without contact with a member of the opposite sex, apply the same treatment as Rule 1.

* Villagers also need to follow rule 2.

3. If animals with other biological characteristics (such as cows with rabbit ears, pigs with horns) are found in the forest or in their own breeding areas, they must be killed, burned and buried immediately.

4. Each village has one and only one well, and it is located in the center of the village. All drinking water in the village must come from this well. Drinking water from unknown sources is prohibited.

5. All edible foods such as fruits and mushrooms picked in the forest must be washed with well water before they can be eaten, and fungi need to be cooked even more.

It is strictly forbidden to pick fruit from trees where burned bodies are buried, as are mushrooms growing around them.

6. Before midnight, you need to ensure that there is light in your home, such as torches, fireplaces, kerosene lamps, etc. If you need to go out, you also need to bring lighting devices.

When passing the livestock pen in the early hours of the morning, if you hear strange noises, please do not respond and walk away immediately.

If you find a creature without a light source greeting you, immediately hide in the room and lock the doors and windows.

7. Once it is found that villagers do not follow the above rules and behave obviously different from ordinary people, please expel them from the village as soon as possible.If necessary, deal with it in accordance with Rule 3.

……

Looking at these rather weird rules, Yi Chen recalled Easton Cemetery.

"As long as you can follow these rules to carry out your daily life, you can still avoid the infection of disease to a large extent.

This is also the fundamental reason why many human towns and villages can still exist since the world entered the "disease era" more than 300 years ago.

The short-term deterioration of the situation in Shepherd Village is by no means the accidental mistakes of the villagers.

There is a high probability that the intervention of the Newborn Church made the villagers no longer live according to the rules, and even led them to actively violate the rules, which made the situation here completely out of control. "

When walking in the woods,
Even without reaching the high wall structure of trees,

Yi Chen can still feel the abnormality in the forest, and always feels that there is something watching him in the gloomy forest.

Moreover, as a 'vegetarian', he has no interest in the vegetation in the forest, and can smell a physiological fishy smell from the bottom of the bark.

The closer to the middle of the forest, the stronger the smell, forcing Yi Chen to wear a homemade plant mask again.

After several kilometers of trekking in the forest, we finally arrived at the [high wall] that closed the center of the forest.

The degree of shock brought by close observation far exceeds the previous gaze on the cliff, and even produces a sense of biological awe.

It seems that under the command of a high degree of unity, the thick and huge tree trunks are arranged in an orderly manner at a distance of less than ten centimeters, forming [high walls] with unpredictable thickness and a height of nearly [-] meters.

The crazily growing branches and leaves at the top blocked all the sunlight that was not too much, and it was pitch black.

Based on available information,
These tree trunks cannot be burned. Once they feel the temperature of the flames, the trunks will secrete a large amount of thick sticky juice to cover and extinguish them.

If the trunk is physically damaged, it will quickly regenerate with the help of the surrounding trunks.

therefore,

The first problem facing us is - "Crossing the Tree Wall"

Because two weeks have passed since the incident, the tree wall has been growing outwards, and its specific thickness has already exceeded [-] meters... It is very likely that they will be trapped in it while passing through the tree wall.

This is also the main reason why the gentlemen in the stronghold lost the courage to explore.

And there is another key point, as the information records.

The two standing in front of the high wall of trees heard a very subtle 'crying of a baby'.

When Yi Chen reached out and touched the surface of the tree wall, the sound was immediately amplified several times... It seemed that the baby's voice came from the inside of the tree trunk, and with the dark forest environment, it made people feel chills down the spine.

Jin on the side also touched the surface of the trunk curiously.

"Oh? There are really children crying, is it the effect of ashes? Let me directly blast a passage leading to the inside, what do you think?"

between words,
Strands of red energy are in the form of threads, which are transmitted into the trunk by the golden fingers, and a red lotus-shaped pattern is formed on the surface of the trunk, which may explode at any time.

Snapped!
However, Yi Chen stretched out his hand lightly, stuck it on the back of Jin's hand, and stopped this behavior very gently.

"Jin, there is no need to waste energy on this kind of thing, and we don't know the specific thickness of the tree wall, such an explosion will consume your energy for no reason...Let me do it."

Yi Chen said it very euphemistically. In fact, what he cares most about is "striking the grass and scaring the snake". If Jin explodes directly to open the way, it is very likely that all the internal dangers will be drawn out.

Click ~ open the lock of the suitcase,
Take out a pair of white gloves painted with a green magic circle,

After putting it on, gently pull the corners of the glove with your index finger and thumb to make it fit perfectly on your wrist.

As the left and right palms were lightly attached to the surface of the adjacent tree trunk, the array on the back of the glove lit up with a shiny green light.

The intelligence attribute reaches [5], and the spell-casting gloves made of "gentleman's skin" allow Yi Chen to directly intervene in such a tree-wall structure.

"Plant Control"

The thick tree trunks began to expand, and the distance between each other was gradually expanded until it reached the size of the gap that allowed a person to pass through.

 Ten consecutive updates are on the shelves, five will be updated tonight, and five chapters will be updated after waking up tomorrow!
