Alien signal? It seems to be from me.

Chapter 46 Camp Security
I thought this would be a fierce battle.

We are even ready to reopen at any time.

I never thought...

He secretly threw the lighter in his hand into the grass beside him, coughed awkwardly twice, and kicked it in with his foot to make sure that no one could see him. Only then did he raise his head and meet Shu Ge's innocent big eyes.

The terrifying monster in my mind suddenly turned into a somewhat autistic left-behind child.

Zhou Zheng looked at the living tree in front of him that looked like an ancient god, and for a long time he couldn't reconcile it with the crazy monster in his mind that slaughtered a herd of bison and overturned the exploration vehicle.

Is it acceptable that the goods are not what they described?
Brother Shu's cautious look made Zhou Zheng almost doubt that everything he had experienced in his previous dreams was a parallel world.

Unconvinced, he walked around the tree and then took a dozen steps back to look at the surroundings.

Zhou Zheng muttered to himself: "Yes, it's the same tree."

Unlike Zhou Zheng's suspicion, Da Vinci had already started playing with Brother Shu in a short while.

The little robot rode on a tree branch and directed the tree brother to throw himself into the sky. After falling down, he was caught steadily by the branch. Zhou Zheng was so frightened when he saw it.

After watching for a while and confirming that Brother Shu really had no hostility towards them, he gradually felt relieved.

In any case, this change in Brother Shu is obviously beneficial to them.

"Hey, Brother Shu?"

Zhou Zheng looked at the giant tree in front of him, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Let's discuss something?"

He wasn't sure if the giant tree in front of him could understand what he was saying, so he gestured with his hands while speaking to illustrate his general meaning.

When Brother Shu heard Zhou Zheng's voice, he carefully put Da Vinci on the ground and looked at the "little guy" in front of him with confusion.

He lifted a branch and scratched the trunk, his eyes full of confusion.

Obviously, I didn't understand at all.

Zhou Zheng was not in a hurry and continued talking while gesturing with his hands and feet.

His purpose before coming was actually very simple, which was to find a way to set this threat on fire.

Without Brother Shu, those alien bison herds would not rush towards their own camp like crazy, and the eighteen-day survival limit would naturally be exceeded.

But when he realized that Brother Shu could communicate, his little thoughts suddenly became active.

The forests are full of dangers during the powder season.

A herd of bison will appear on the eighteenth day, and there is no guarantee that other deadly creatures will not appear on the nineteenth day.

If they want to survive, their team must have a strong enough fighter.

The food is given to the little monkey, and Da Vinci takes care of the daily chores.

All they need is a strong enough bodyguard, and their team will have enough capital to deal with various incidents.

Zhou Zheng looked at Brother Shu in front of him, whose eyes were as clear as a college student, and his smile suddenly became brighter.

Look, the ready-made bodyguard is right in front of you.

So the plan changed temporarily, from the initial bloody battle with the ancient gods to the current kidnapping of "minors" back home.

"Brother Shu, you'll be sleeping wherever you go anyway, why don't you come back with us?"

"Go sleep over at our place, and then you can play with Da Vinci anytime."

Zhou Zheng patiently coaxed, pointing at the little robot as he spoke.

There was no desire to fight in his eyes, only the excitement of winning the guaranteed prize in the lottery.

If he can't trick Brother Shu back into the camp, he won't be able to sleep well ever again.

When Shu Ge saw Zhou Zheng mention Leonardo da Vinci, his eyes became hesitant.

As an intelligent being, loneliness is a terrible thing.

But it was precisely because of Tree Brother's exaggeratedly huge size that other creatures in the forest would instinctively run away in fear when they saw him.

After so many years, Zhou Zheng and Da Vinci were still the first ones who saw that he had woken up and did not escape immediately.

Looking at the little man in front of him who was constantly gesturing, and then looking at the place where he had lived for many years, Shu Ge's heart was obviously shaken. After hesitating for a long time, Shu Ge waved the branch and gestured at Zhou Zheng.

"What do you mean?"

"He said he'd think about it."

Zhou Zheng didn't understand what Shu Ge meant at all, and in the end it was Da Vinci who acted as the translator.

I don’t know if it’s because they are left-behind children, but Da Vinci and Shu Ge seemed to hit it off right from the moment they met.

A tree and a robot.

The only thing they have in common is that they are not human.

"Brother Shu, would you like some barbecue?"

"Brother Shu, do you want some water?"

Next to the alien spaceship.

Zhou Zheng looked at the tree brother who had planted himself back into the soil and was happily showing his courtesy.

He was holding the barbecue, completely ignoring the little monkey behind him jumping and squeaking unpleasantly.

"Oh, I forgot you can't eat it."

The three of them looked at each other for a long time, and Zhou Zheng looked at the flat tree trunk under Brother Shu's eyes and smiled awkwardly twice.

It's so funny, there's no mouth at all.

There is only a huge single eye on the trunk, and no other organs can be seen at all.

So even if you give the barbecue to Brother Shu, it doesn't know where to put it.

Just as Zhou Zheng thought.

Ever since Brother Shu came to the camp, the surroundings have indeed become much quieter.

Barbecue is served at the camp every day, so the aroma will inevitably attract some unsightly animals that try to rob us.

Before, it was Da Vinci who took action and drove these guys away with his metal body.

But since Brother Shu came over, not to mention the animals that wanted to rob, even the group of hyenas that were wandering around disappeared.

The animals in the forest obviously know how powerful Tree Brother is. Only the foreign bison are so foolish as to gnaw on Tree Brother's feet.

it's good now.

Not only did he resolve the crisis on the eighteenth day ahead of time, but he also brought a powerful fighter to the camp.

Zhou Zheng was in a good mood and even hummed a song while sitting in his homemade rocking chair.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a loud noise like a gas tank factory exploding in the middle of the forest.

Loose powder season has arrived as promised.

I looked up and saw mushroom spores filling the sky like frost rain.

Zhou Zheng leaned against the leaf and continued to hum comfortably.

Brother Shu curiously stretched out a branch to catch the falling spores. With clear eyes, he looked at these spores as if they were new and strange toys he had never seen before.

Zhou Zheng was obviously amused by Shu Ge's childish behavior, but the smile froze on his face the next second.

If Da Vinci is to be believed, powder season will begin right on time every year.

Judging from Shu Ge's physique, he must have seen the loose powder season dozens or even hundreds of times.

These mushroom spores shouldn't be anything new to him, so why does Brother Shu look so curious about them?
He stood up and looked at Brother Shu in confusion. This was obviously illogical.

Soon, he knew why...
