Huaiyu didn't know about the disputes outside.
She returned to the car, found a fragrant ball from a wild chrysanthemum, and tried to stuff it into a gold incense box, but it was too big and had to be split in two.
I wonder if Kataro can make the ball smaller in the future...
She turned around to walk out, but turned around to see the tree cocoon that Zhou Qian had put back in the corner. She paused, then turned back, gently touching the milky white cool fibrous roots with her hands.
It was only then that she discovered that there were some signs of withering at the bottom of the fibrous roots.
This made Huaiyu nervous: Didn't you find these when you were dragged back from the mountain? Was it because he was carried in the car for too long? Or does it have to be rooted in the soil?
She stood up: "Brother Zhou Qian! Help me move the cocoon out."
The two people waiting at the stove, pointing at the pictures on the ground and discussing something, turned their heads instantly. The one who was faster than Zhou Qian was Lin Xuefeng - with the blessing of supernatural powers, his physical fitness was much better than Zhou Qian's, and his reaction speed was also faster. .
"What's wrong?"
He immediately looked down at Huai Yu: "Your voice is a little panicked..."
Someone comforted Huaiyu, who suddenly felt very sad: "The roots of the cocoon seem to have withered."
"Let me see."
Lin Xuefeng patted her shoulder, walked over without saying a word, then lifted the cocoon slightly and inspected the roots.
Just like Huai Yu said, the roots of the tree cocoon were originally milky white, full and tough roots, but now they have turned into wisps of withered and weightless roots.
But fortunately, there are not many such cases. If it only occupies the bottom edge, there should be a chance to remedy it.
Lin Xuefeng lifted the cocoon out, and Zhou Qian stood at the door and took it, frowning: "Do you want to put it on the ground, or do you need to go back quickly and send it back to the Rose Corridor?"
"I don't know."
Huaiyu sat on the edge of the carriage, watching Zhou Qian put the tree cocoon away, and the roots that touched the soil automatically dug into the soil, but her frown did not relax:
"I don't know much about it either. I woke up from here...but when I woke up, I didn't know it was so important, so I don't know what state it is in the Tao Palace."
"Then it was taken underground by Rose. I don't know if it needs to stay in the soil forever."
While Lin Xuefeng was frozen, she listened to Huaiyu talking about her life and experiences. At this moment, she frowned and subconsciously touched her chest.
There was once a rose pinned there that seemed to never wither, and it darned his heart at the moment of life and death. At this moment, every beating of the heart seems to be telling the extraordinary story of Rose.
At this moment, he also sat down and asked softly: "Xiaoyu, you told me about your subtle relationship with the Rose Corridor... Is it possible that you and it are symbiotic?"
"Huh?" Huaiyu's eyes widened.
……
And the Flower City is thousands of miles away.
Bai Yu was dealing with various matters so hard that his head was about to explode. At this moment, his legs were crossed on the desk and his head was tilted back, making him look like he was in a mess.
But as footsteps approached from outside the door, she quickly sat upright and returned to a calm and trustworthy state.
The ones who came in were the guards he brought from the imperial capital.
The other party was rarely emotionally unstable. Even though the office was soundproofed, he still lowered his voice subconsciously:
"Commander, I found something amazing."
Bai Yu frowned: "How amazing is it?"
The other party took a deep breath for a moment, and then slowly sat down in front of her: "What's remarkable... is that if you seize the opportunity and plan carefully, the position of the guard officer is likely to be in your hands."
Bai Yu's eyebrows flew up, but they quickly calmed down and looked calm.
"Impossible - no, very possible."
But that's not entirely a good thing.
The current system in the garrison was established urgently during the war, and many procedures are simple and crude. Includes a hierarchy.
In wartime, the garrison officer can control everything by himself and must be efficient, cohesive and leading.
By the time of the transition to the present, all the remaining cities across the country were on the right track. Lin Xuefeng, who was considered the strongest among the people, retired due to injury. Wu Yue, who was slightly less capable than him, successfully took over. After taking office for a few months, it was a matter of course. Decentralized due to lack of ability.
These five commanders are the most intuitive evidence.
If the procedures are implemented and commanders everywhere can follow the steps of political officers, everything may return to before the disaster - private guns can never be expanded.
That is the model that can maintain peace as long as possible.
Therefore, since the personal guard said this, Bai Yu believed that if she planned as carefully as the other party said, she could pull Wu Yue down and get in.
Because now the authority and ability of the garrison officers are no longer very demanding.
But——
"If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. I am not yet qualified. Even if I go up, I am afraid I will become a target."
She spread her hands: "What exactly did you find?"
The guard took a deep breath: "It's about General Wu - as you guessed before, there is indeed another hidden secret behind the creation of the Rose Corridor."
Bai Yu sat up straight in an instant——
She has no idea that she can pass five levels and kill six generals and successfully obtain the position of guard officer, but if she can take this opportunity to unseat Wu Yue, she will never show any mercy!
On the one hand, those who have the strength to compete for this position are not much different from her strength. In this case, if you want to move up in the future, your chances will be much greater than now.
And she is younger than others, so no one will target her for a while. But just because she was young, she didn't have enough private team, so the ups and downs in between were enough for her to recharge her batteries and lay a solid foundation in the Flower City.
On the other hand, when people like Wu Yue thought of Zhou Qian who was still stranded in the wilderness without any news, and Huai Yu who lost his life inexplicably, Bai Yu sneered, his brows filled with sharpness.
The personal guard's narrative is very simple, but the information hidden inside is explosive.
Wu Yue is still in the medical cabin relying on expensive medicines to survive. The good news is that the spores of the elegans mushrooms on his body have probably dispersed. Now they are not growing so fast. In many cases, only a dozen sporadically grow out a day.
The bad news is that he still has no intention of waking up and his body is still in deficit. In the past few months of lying in the medical cabin, he had transformed from a handsome man into a emaciated and emaciated man. Of course, due to the strong growth potential and good taste of the mutated elmella mushroom, the current promotion work is in full swing. If everything goes well, it will be launched in the next spring.
I just don’t know how to calculate this merit.
Bai Yu thought a little narrowly.
During this period, the biological mother of General Wu, who had no control and was heavily in debt, finally became increasingly embarrassed by the repeated and increasingly bold behavior of loan sharking.
Or maybe it wasn't because of embarrassment, but because the other party accurately grabbed the pigtails.
However, he rushed back to the imperial capital to sell off his property, which made the investigation a little more difficult. However, because the other party really had no ability to hide, it was easy to get the word out in the end.
"The news that the loan shark company used to threaten her was that the old lady forged a suicide note to her son's ex-girlfriend."
The guards were also very imaginative during the investigation, but at this moment they could only tell the original story as objectively as possible.
About Wu Yue’s ex-girlfriend...
Bai Yu thought of the nostalgic look he mentioned in the wilderness, and the embarrassment of being choked back unceremoniously like Huaiyu pepper, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile again.
But then, the smile turned into anger——
"Forged suicide note...is the other party still alive?"
"No."
The guard shook his head: "This is the suspicious place."
"According to our various investigations, General Wu did have an ex-girlfriend, but they broke up not long after they were in the base. After being separated for a long time, the old lady suddenly wrote such a letter in imitated handwriting after being born in the Rose Corridor. Suicide note.”
Isn't this unnecessary?
At that time, General Wu had just given birth to the Corridor of Roses, was seriously injured and was recuperating at the base, and his reputation was at its peak. In the hearts of Huacheng people, he even surpassed General Lin Xuefeng who was fighting outside at that time.
But the more this happens, the more weird the unnecessary movements appear.
Bai Yu had bold ideas in his mind, but they were all scattered and unorganized. At this moment, he only asked the other party again: "What does she look like? Do you have any photos?"
She remembered that Wu Yue had pretended to mention this matter, and she felt even more disgusted in her heart. The bodyguard also shook his head:
"No, it is said that their home was destroyed when the plants changed. They fled in a hurry. The other party did not bring anything to prove their identity. Moreover, the girl was very aware of self-preservation. She was probably good-looking. She was at the base. I've always been dressed down."
Bai Yu can understand it very well.
Because any major changes will not bring peace as usual, but will be mixed with turmoil from all sides. At that time, even though the base was in troubled times, there were still areas that were not properly managed.
At that time, it was normal for a beautiful young girl to keep a low profile and act in a low profile.
But then she pondered: Since the other party protected her so carefully and didn't even show her face, the suicide note became even more redundant. Could it be that the old lady still had the guts to kill someone?
She frowned again.
Because according to my own observation, although Wu Yue's mother is greedy, has no normal views, loves luxury, spends money and is vain... But if she is asked to directly kill people, she probably doesn't have the courage, right?
No, not necessarily.
In troubled times, people are forced to panic, and Bai Yu can't guarantee what he can do. At this moment, he patiently listened to the guards continue to talk.
"According to the investigation, shortly after the other party wrote the suicide note, news of a missing woman came out in the base. But at that time, the Rose Corridor had just been born, and many people caused disputes through the carnival, and many people were injured or injured. It was an accident, and no body of the other party was found in the base, so the matter was dropped.”
Bai Yu immediately figured out this line.
"So, was she in Sanqingshan at that time?"
The guard nodded, and then took a deep breath: "Yes. It's very possible."
Although there is no evidence, based on the direction of his exploration, when the people he can find recall the past, they all know that the other party often looks for food, ingredients and herbs in Sanqing Mountain because of his wood-type powers.
"That girl was born as an orphan and had good grades. When she was in her senior year of high school, the director of the orphanage originally prepared the tuition for her, but at that time, the two children had heart disease and needed to be operated on within the time limit, so she dropped out of school."< br>
According to the behavioral patterns and words learned by the personal guards, the other party is stubborn and self-reliant, has a plan for his own life, and is not the kind of character who can rely on others.
Bai Yu listened slowly, and couldn't help but think at this moment——
I don't know what achievements such an outstanding girl can achieve under her command. But to be with someone like Wu Yue...
Tsk!
Even his mother can't stand it.
"This is the news that many people have pieced together based on her words and memories, but many people don't know what they know. The other party hides their own affairs very closely."
"But that morning, she did say that she would take advantage of the base to give birth to roses, and the garrison would first clean up the mutated creatures in the mountains in order to collect more ingredients - they set up a new orphanage in the base , which takes in many children. The girl works in an orphanage and is in short supply.”
Bai Yu clenched his fists, but the look on his face became calmer.
"Continue."
The guard paused and then continued: "It was also that day because General Wu signed up for the selection and got the opportunity to give birth to the Rose Corridor and the potion to enhance his abilities. His mother did not cooperate and cried all the way. He had no son and broke into the defense line and rushed directly to Sanqing Mountain."
The line of defense against immediate family members is not very tight, because everyone knows that Wu Yue and his mother are dependent on each other, and he is also a famous filial son. The relationship between mother and son is very close.
There are indeed certain risks in giving birth to roses, and the pain is real. As a mother, there is nothing wrong with the other party loving her children wholeheartedly. The Rose Corridor on the mountain was already showing signs of decline even before it was fully formed, and the surrounding guards had actually silently guessed that it was likely to fail.
Under this premise, it does not violate the regulations to let a mother crying and desperate into the mountain.
There is even a silent expectation in everyone's heart: maybe someone close to him calling out to him can awaken his last fighting spirit?
After all, with their existing strength and without the Rose Corridor to divide the defense line, it is very likely that Huacheng will not be able to defend it before the next massive attack by mutant creatures in the wasteland.
And not long after the other party entered the mountain, the rose plant selected from Sanqing Mountain suddenly took root downward and spread deeply.
Then the branches rose from the ground, and under everyone's astonished gaze, they used their branches, leaves and flowers to weave an unbreakable line of defense.
This line of defense will soon have a new name——
【Rose Corridor】(End of Chapter)
