Chapter 611 Cutting Down Trees?

Zong Xia and Sheng Xian echoed each other's sentiments, and the group walked back while making sarcastic remarks.

However, they all tacitly diverted some attention to the pine forest behind them; they were definitely up to something and possessed a kind of spirituality.

But what exactly was going on? What was their purpose? They weren't quite sure; they only knew that they were after Boss Lu.

Since they came for Boss Lu, they must be coming for them; they are one with Boss Lu.

Of course, this is just their own opinion.

Even after walking quite a distance, there was still no movement in the pine forest, so Luo Mu approached Shen Bing.

"Why did you say that just now? Were you testing the pine trees? Can they understand you?" Luo Mu asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Shen Bing affirmed. Not only could it understand human speech, but it had also blocked his ice hockey puck just now.

These mutated creatures that live in groups are the most difficult to deal with. They may not be very aggressive individually, but they are very united.

They also have their own system, which, when combined, can be used to deal with enemies of higher levels, and they have never been underestimated.

The group returned to the lottery shop. The RV was already closed, but the lights were still on on the second floor, so they guessed that Lu Li was still awake.

They didn't disturb them and went home.

……

The fifth day at the pine cone base.

After brushing her teeth, Lu Li, as usual, drew back the curtains to enjoy the view outside.

But it gave me a fright.

About fifty meters away, there was a row of dense pine trees that completely surrounded the RV.

After going to sleep, Luli will reduce the safety zone of the RV to the highest level, prohibiting any living creature from entering.

Other shops already have their own protective shields, so they don't need the RV for protection at night.

Lu Li stared at the pine trees outside the window, thinking that if the safety range wasn't fifty meters, these pine trees would probably be right next to the RV.

"Expand the search area! Quickly expand the search area! Drive these pine trees away!" Lu Li suddenly said.

She even wanted to grab a chainsaw and chop down all the trees like Bald Qiang (a character from a popular Chinese cartoon), because they were so annoying to look at!
It's not a "Christmas tree" anymore; it's an annoying tree now.

As Luli wished, the pine trees surrounding the RV gradually receded into the distance until the RV's safe zone was maximized.

The current safety zone is centered on the RV, with a diameter of one kilometer, which can encompass all shops.

Once enlarged to its maximum size, Luli will have to squint to see the pine trees.

No, she had to find out what the pine tree was up to. If it really wanted to eat her, it should just be cut down. She couldn't let it stay any longer.

So she rushed downstairs and hurried toward the pine trees, where she ran into Chu Lisheng.

"Where are you going?" Chu Lisheng asked, seeing her anxious expression, and subconsciously followed her.

The two walked side by side, both moving quite fast. Lu Li took a moment to say, "Settle the score!"

Huh? Chu Lisheng didn't understand, but he was obedient and followed her obediently, going wherever she went.

But he soon discovered that the pine forest in the distance was gone, replaced by a ring of pine trees around it.

They were arranged neatly, forming a perfect circle, with consistent gaps between each tree.

It's like they're deploying troops.

He glanced at it briefly and noticed that the center of the circle was a motorhome. Something flashed through his mind, and he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lu, are you alright?"

He quickly glanced at her again; she was unharmed, only her hair was a little messy. He was relieved that she had come out in a hurry.

Soon, Luli stopped at the very edge of the RV's safe zone, with a pine tree right in front of her.

As soon as Lu Li stood still, the surrounding pine trees seemed to have smelled something, and their branches began to surge wildly, all heading towards her.

However, thanks to the protective shield, it was effectively blocked.

They couldn't reach Luli no matter what they did. They got anxious, and the branches of several pine trees came together to form a net, trying to trap her directly.

But it was no use; I still couldn't reach Luli.

Chu Lisheng stepped forward, wanting to protect Lu Li, but she stopped him.

Lu Li said softly, "Step back."

These pine spirits are coming towards her, and besides, she has a protective shield, so she'll be fine.

The pine trees tried their best, but couldn't touch a single hair on Lu Li's head. She even brought out a chair and sat down with her legs crossed.

It looks incredibly pleasant.

She was certain that the pine spirits were going to harm her.

In that case, there's no need to hold back.

But then she remembered something else: these pine trees had saved the lives of most of the residents at the pine cone farm.

If she simply dismisses it based on her own ideas, won't it cause dissatisfaction among the residents?

Let's ask the base commander.

Lu Li called the director of the pine cone base and explained the whole story.

Upon hearing this, the base commander exclaimed excitedly, "What? There's such a thing? Then they must all be cut down! Boss Lu, you don't need to do it yourself, I'll handle it!"

Pretty good.

Lu Li asked, puzzled, "But didn't these pine trees provide food for the residents? Aren't they life-saving trees too?"

The base commander waved his hand, "It's a matter of sorts, but if they show any signs of murder, they absolutely cannot be allowed to live. Who knows if they might turn on the residents later?"

"Then I'll leave it to the base chief," Lu Li said.

It's better to let the base chief do it, so that no one will be unaware of the truth and criticize her.

Lu Li then planned to take Chu Lisheng back to the RV, but the pine trees behind them were still persistent, trying various methods to penetrate the protective shield.

But they cannot succeed.

Before leaving, Chu Lisheng glared fiercely at the pine tree spirits, planning to bring his brothers and the base leader to punish them later.

They actually set their sights on Boss Lu; they're incredibly bold.

Back in the RV, Shen Bing and Luo Mu were having breakfast when they saw the two of them come up and asked, "Where did you two go? And what's the deal with these pine trees?"

They must be blind not to have seen such a huge change.

I wanted to ask Boss Lu, but Chu Lisheng sent me a message saying not to worry, they were handling the matter.

Shen Bing and Luo Mu weren't too worried, and even started making breakfast for everyone to eat.

Lu Li was speechless. "When I woke up this morning, I saw a circle of pine trees surrounding the RV. If you didn't know better, you'd think they'd wrapped me up like a dumpling and were going to eat me."

"Isn't it just about eating you?" Chu Lisheng said with a helpless smile.

"Huh?" they both exclaimed. "And then what?"

Lu Li sat down to eat breakfast. "And then? Then I'll go find them and settle the score. I'm going to learn from Bald Qiang and chop them all up."

"As a result, the base chief said he would come and chop, and let Boss Lu rest," Chu Lisheng chimed in.

"Oh~" Shen Bing and Luo Mu understood. "It's good that we don't let you get involved."

Lu Li nodded indifferently. If she was asked to do something, she would simply use her special abilities, the system, or Shen Bing and the others.

We can't just grab a chainsaw and chop them all down one by one; we don't have the time for that.

The group had just finished breakfast when the base commander came to visit.

This was also the first time Lu Li had met the director of the pine cone base.

But this wasn't the first time the base commander had seen her. He'd been going out to buy scratch-off lottery tickets every day for the past few days, but hadn't won a big prize.
