Four Hundred and Eleventh Strange Tree

The diameter of the crown of the strange tree is astonishing, at least as thick as two people hugging each other. The top is smooth and round like a bald head, surrounded by soft tentacles like weeping willows. There are no leaves on the tentacles, but dense fluff.

The milky white trunk is smooth and straight, without the rough bark of ordinary trunks, giving people a very soft, moist and elastic feeling, just like the skin of a girl.

Ye Han really didn't want to describe it like this, but when he saw the smooth appearance of the tree trunk, he instinctively thought of Bai Xiaoting's tender skin... It's not that his imagination is strong, but it's really similar.

After staring blankly for three seconds, Ye Han came back to his senses: "What is this?"

"I don't know." The sharp soldier shook his head, "This thing looks weird, can you eat it?"

"Eat and eat, you know how to eat!" Ye Han scolded, "Look here, no one is allowed to touch this thing without my permission."

"Yes!" The vanguard agreed.

"Anzi!" Ye Han shouted over the radio.

"Captain!" An Dongli's voice appeared on the radio.

"Give the microphone to... your sister-in-law." Ye Han almost slipped his mouth.

Fuel-efficient lamps can't get into Thunderbolt, and these guys are better than monkeys at sticking fur, and if they don't pay attention, they may reveal their secrets... Maybe someone has already seen something is wrong, but they are just too embarrassed to expose it.

"Ye Han!" Bai Xiaoting's excited voice appeared on the radio.

"Xiaoting, our pioneers found a strange tree, which may have something to do with aliens."

Bai Xiaoting immediately restrained her casual attitude, and said irrelevantly: "Brother Xi is the person in charge of the investigation team."

Ye Han took a photo and sent it to the No. 1 car: "Take a look at the photo first, and see if there is any need to alarm the team leader."

"Okay." Bai Xiaoting agreed, "Where is the photo?"

"Where is Anzi, you ask him for it."

"Okay." Bai Xiaoting agreed, and the radio quieted down, and then Bai Xiaoting's surprised voice suddenly came out, "Oh my god, it's not that I don't know this thing at all, and it can't be classified by the taxonomy I know!"

"It's right in front of my eyes. I can tell you with certainty that this thing is real." Ye Han said.

"I know it's real." Bai Xiaoting said, "From the photos, it doesn't look like a plant, but a bit like a fungus!"

"What? You said it was a big mushroom?" Ye Han asked in surprise.

"It's just possible." Bai Xiaoting recalled carefully, searching all over her memory, but couldn't find anything similar.

"Is this thing the target of your investigation? This place is not far from the target. This thing is probably brought by an asteroid." Ye Han guessed.

"Let's inform Brother Xi. If it's convenient, let us go and have a look." Bai Xiaoting said.

"No problem." Ye Han agreed happily, "Attention everyone, get closer to the vanguard, and pay attention to vigilance!"

"Understood!" Xiao Yuan agreed, and the stopped armored vehicle restarted, and soon drove to Ye Han's side.

Ye Han quickly stopped: "Park the car far away, what if this thing is poisonous?"

Although there are three-defense equipment on the armored vehicle, the equipment on the vehicle can only detect chemical or biological agents made by humans, and 80% of them cannot pay for the agents of aliens.

The two drivers quickly complied and parked the car more than 20 meters away. The three members of the investigation team met again and walked to Ye Han under the escort of the soldiers.

Ye Han pointed to the strange tree and said, "Group Leader Xi, this is that tree."

"Let me take a look." Xi Fu cautiously approached a few steps, first carefully looked up and down the strange tree several times, and then opened the tool box that he carried with him, revealing the neatly arranged test tubes and various shiny small tools in the box.

Ye Han frowned: "The warning circle is doubled, execute!"

The reflection of metal is not a normal phenomenon in the forest, so it is necessary to expand the warning range just in case.

Xi Fu took out a chopstick-thick glass rod about ten centimeters long from the box, and said without looking back, "Xiao Bai, help me, Xiao Wu, record!"

Bai Xiaoting protested on the spot: "Xiaoting Xiaoting,

Call me Xiaoting! "

Ye Han seemed to hear the resentment in Bai Xiaoting's heart: You are Xiaobai, and your whole family is Xiaobai!

"Okay, Xiaoting, is Xiaoting alright?" Xi Fu hurriedly corrected, "Come and help!"

"Hmph!" Bai Xiaoting gave Xi Fu a dissatisfied look, but obediently walked to Xi Fu's side.

Ye Han took a step forward calmly, Wu Rui gave Ye Han a dissatisfied look, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Wu Rui was indeed spoiled by his family, but being spoiled doesn't mean he's stupid. If he can't even see the situation clearly, he might as well go home as soon as possible and forget about it.

Ye Han was secretly vigilant, this kid is not too brain-dead, but such a rational opponent is far more difficult to deal with than the second-generation brain-dead, and there may be big problems that cannot be dealt with at any time.

Xi Fu carefully avoided the filamentous aerial roots, walked slowly to the vicinity of the strange tree, carefully stretched out the glass rod, and lightly touched the outer bark of the strange tree: "It's soft, like skin jelly!"

After finishing speaking, I added some strength, and the skin of the strange tree immediately dented, which looked similar to the situation when it was pressed on the belly.

"The elasticity is very good, this thing is definitely not a plant!" Xi Fu judged with certainty.

Ye Han blurted out: "Fungus?"

"It's possible, but the possibility is very small. Do you know the difference between animal cells and plant cells?" Xi Fu asked.

"I know, animals don't have cell walls." Ye Han suddenly said, "Growing in the soil, isn't it a plant?"

"Things from aliens cannot be distinguished by the concept of earth creatures." Xi Fu squatted down with difficulty, and gently pulled the wire-shaped air roots: "It is very strong, no worse than steel wire."

After speaking, he carefully poked some soil away with a glass rod: "The roots are well developed, and the root skin is hard, very similar to plants."

Then he poked the crown of the strange tree again, unexpectedly, the originally soft tentacles seemed to be frightened, and they stood up abruptly, wrapping the crown of the tree, looking like an oversized coconut.

Xi Fu knocked on the glass in astonishment: "The canopy is hard, and the tentacles have the ability to move, like animals and not plants." After finishing speaking, he handed the glass rod to Bai Xiaoting, "Give me the knife and the test tube."

Bai Xiaoting immediately handed a scalpel to Xi Fu, and took two empty test tubes from the box and handed them over.

Xi Fu took the knife and the test tube, and used the knife to scratch lightly on the tree crown, cutting a few centimeters long and half a centimeter deep. The side is slightly opened, exposing the internal structure similar to meat.

"The outside of the trunk has a structure similar to the epidermis, and the inside is like a muscle, with a slight life reaction... I am more and more interested in this thing." Xi Fu cut a few times on the trunk and cut a few "tree flesh" ", put it into the test tube, and returned the test tube to Bai Xiaoting, "Put this away, and give me two more with culture medium."
