National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 64 Giving up
The red bird was suspended in the sky, spitting out a scorching fire dragon that penetrated the tall Abyss Cordyceps in the distance, then swept across the Hundred Birds Tree, defeated the Bubble Kelp, and completely destroyed the enemy's production units.

Then, it circled in the air and returned to Qifeng Qingtong.

Other birds also returned and landed on branches.

The war came to a temporary end, and Lin Zhi couldn't help but look carefully at the red bird on the paulownia tree.

First of all, we can rule out the possibility that this bird is a phoenix, nor does it look like a vermilion bird. It looks more like a sparrow that has been magnified hundreds or thousands of times.

The only difference from the sparrow is that its whole body is red, and its feathers are as hard as iron and shine with a cold light.

Lin Zhi curiously took out the phoenix feather he had obtained from Liu Bugui before and compared it with the feathers on this bird.

At this moment, as if sensing something, the bird opened its eyes and looked towards Lin Zhi.

Then, Lin Zhi seemed to see disdain in its eyes.

The phoenix feather in his hand was suddenly pulled into the sky by a force, and the bird opened its mouth and spit out a fireball.

The fireball covered the bird's feathers, and in just a few breaths, it melted them into ashes.

"fake?"

Lin Zhi was stunned. It was hard for him to imagine that the so-called Phoenix feather would turn into ashes just by burning. So there was no doubt that this thing must be fake.

Can a fake Phoenix Feather activate the teleportation array?
Lin Zhi already had the answer in his mind.

So, the Dog Lovers Association was deceived by the Aboriginals?
The so-called bird feathers they used to activate the altar were completely fake, so this mission was a sham from the beginning. So what was the purpose of the natives deceiving the Dog Lovers Association?
Lin Zhi couldn't figure it out, and didn't plan to guess. He directly told the news to Mu Yuan who had just returned from cleaning up the battlefield.

Mu Yuan looked very sad at this moment. He said, "Thanks to you, we were not defeated in this battle. However, there are only 217 people left out of the more than people in the battalion."

"Condolences!"

Lin Zhi said slowly.

"Sacrifices are inevitable in war, and we have been prepared for this. But what I cannot accept is that the Great Wall was breached."

Mu Yuan's tone was heavy.

The myth of mankind's indestructible mechanical Great Wall has lasted for thousands of years and has long become the belief of the military.

If the Great Wall is breached, people's faith will collapse and they will no longer have any morale.

"This is not something we can decide. I just found out some new information!"

Lin Zhi recounted what happened just now when he discovered whether the Phoenix Feather was real or not.

"This information is very important. I will report it right away!"

Mu Yuan quickly opened the virtual screen of his watch and sent a communication request.

However, as soon as he turned on the screen, he saw the order from the Sparrow Legion Headquarters:
"The defense line collection plan failed. All of us abandon the Great Wall, gather resources through the teleportation array, and then build a war fortress in units of legions."

War fortress is another form of the Great Wall, which is a "nail" type military facility.

In the current situation, the human army is short of supplies and the local area network is barely holding on. If they continue to adopt the Great Wall model, they will only be defeated one by one.

Changing to war fortress mode means giving up the black ice continent that has been conquered for decades.

But at the same time, there is no pressure to guard the long border line.

This is undoubtedly the best option at the moment.

The ancients said, "If you save the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost. If you save the people but lose the land, both the people and the land will be saved."

Immediately, Mu Yuan ordered to pack up supplies and activate the teleportation array.

In fact, there was nothing to pack up. The supplies had been used up long ago, and most of the things in the city were made up of mechanical spiritual plants. After they retreated, the gardener spirits directly took the mechanical spiritual plants back to the source soil, and then committed suicide to return to the local Skynet.

The Gardener's Spirit commits suicide in order to return to defense faster.

Of course, after they leave, a heroic spirit with a "light wave horn" and a "teleportation array lotus" will be left behind at the original place.

Because the teleportation array requires the use of the Internet, soul transmission also requires the use of the Internet.

After everyone was sent away by him, if he had no internet and had the light wave speaker, his soul would not be able to be uploaded after he committed suicide.

If his soul wants to upload, he needs to commit suicide. His suicide will cause the light wave speaker he possesses to disappear, thus disconnecting from the Internet.

Therefore, his fate was certain to be death.

When Lin Zhi heard the news, he felt unhappy, and the figure of the gardener's spirit became taller and taller in his heart.

After taking the golden stalagmite VI back into the source soil, he and Mu Yuan and others took the teleportation array and left the place. After all the living people left, the gardener spirits that made up the Great Wall also took back the mechanical nuts, psychic Tata wood, iron heart lotus and other mechanical spiritual plants that made up the wall.

Then, they committed suicide and returned to the LAN.

The Great Wall, which was a hundred meters high and seemed to have no end, disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a teleportation array lotus and light wave morning glory in its place.

The soul of a gardener lives in these two spiritual plants.

……

Black Ice Continent, formerly the "Shrimp Tribe".

Lin Zhi followed Mu Yuan and others through the teleportation array, and felt a flash of white light, which was so stimulating that he could not open his eyes.

The world around me was spinning, and when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a huge basin surrounded by "mountains".

Looking closely, the so-called mountains are actually made up of mechanical nuts.

"We're here. This is the fortress built by our Sparrow Legion!"

Mu Yuan spoke, leading more than 200 people behind him out of the teleportation array.

As soon as they came out of the teleportation array, Lin Zhi found that they were in a huge square. There were teleportation arrays at the edge of the square, and many camps with serious shortages of personnel walked out of them.

He even saw that the number of people walking out of some teleportation arrays was less than the number of hands.

"Hey, it seems that not only us, almost all the Guancheng have been attacked."

Mu Yuan sighed.

"After all, the incident happened suddenly. Who could have thought that the light gate would malfunction, Skynet would be disconnected, and the enemy's surprise attack would be launched almost at the same time?"

Lin Zhi comforted.

At this time, a man flew over from the sky with a handsome boy.

Lin Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man next to the man.

Coincidentally, he knew this person, it was Ji Wuming.

And the man who was with him looked 70% similar to him.

"This is our Sparrow Corps leader, Ji Long." Mu Yuan introduced Lin Zhi in a low voice.

Oh I got it.

No wonder this person looks so much like Ji Wuming, it turns out they are both members of the Ji family.

Ji Longfei landed on the high platform in the center of the square. He looked at the miserable-looking soldiers with a sad face. He said with tears in his eyes:
"Warriors, I, Jilong, thank you for your dedication and sacrifice for human civilization!"

As he spoke he bowed deeply.

"Commander!"

The soldiers shouted hurriedly.

"I'm sorry, it was a problem in our logistics department. A hateful corruption case occurred, which led to the Guangmen Incident. Civilization will give you and the dead soldiers an explanation. The culprit will be executed with all his clans!"

Ji Long continued, "But now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Instead, we must persevere until the light gate is repaired and Skynet is reconnected. Only in this way can we avoid being pushed back to the Purple Gold Floating Island, and the blood and sweat of countless ancestors over the decades will not be in vain!"

"For civilization!"

Below, the soldiers shouted.

"For humanity!"

The roars were deafening. For someone like Lin Zhi, it was hard to imagine why these soldiers would sacrifice their lives and shed their blood for civilization without fear of life and death.

But not understanding did not prevent him from having great respect for these soldiers.

It is precisely because of their successive generations who are not afraid of sacrifice that human civilization has been able to go through the process that took other civilizations hundreds of thousands of years in just five thousand years, and advance from barbarism to immortality.

It is because of them that civilization can flourish and countless people can live in relative peace.

"However, our supplies are not enough to last for five days! Defending is just waiting to die. Therefore, our Sparrow Legion will take the initiative to attack, penetrate deep into the enemy, hunt, plunder, and destroy the enemy tribe!"

Ji Long waved his hand, and a huge mechanical warship appeared in the air. Circles of divine rings lit up on the warship, shining brightly.

"Warriors! Are you willing to fight the enemy with me?"
