One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty-One What Is the Motivation?

The problem is that they have found it, but facing the tentacles in the hole, everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling. ＊ ＷwＷ.suimeng.lā

If you have intensive phobia, you will probably faint on the spot!

The soldiers looked at each other, all a little at a loss.

They have fought giant insects, fought against the noble army, and fought with aliens. Many of them have traveled back and forth between Earth and Jupiter. They are all knowledgeable, but they have never even heard of this weird plant!

Luo Qi was tangled: "Commander, how do we deal with this thing?"

Ye Han also had a headache. No one present was more familiar with aliens than him, but he had never heard of this situation either.

After hesitating for a while, Ye Han said, "Bridge!"

"Captain, bridge received!"

"Look at that strange tree, observe it carefully."

"Yes, do you need to synchronize the images?"

"Send it to me."

"Understood, countdown three, two, one!"

As soon as the word was finished, Ye Han received a video signal from Leishan, which was located on the side of the asteroid at this time, and the camera happened to be aimed at the strange tree from the side and above.

The strange tree at this time still maintained the appearance of a few days ago, half of it was frozen in a thick layer of ice, and the other half was blown to pieces, leaving only the charred trunk.

Ye Han looked carefully for a long time before saying uncertainly, "It doesn't look like you are still alive!"

"It doesn't look like it." He Lu agreed.

Luo Qi disagreed: "For plants, the key is to see whether the roots are alive, right?" He looked into the hole.

Ye Han sucked his teeth: "Think about it, how can we kill these broken things."

"How about a laser gun?" Luo Qi suggested.

"Can you guarantee that the roots will be completely dead?"

Luo Qi immediately shook his head: "How is that possible? But even if the roots are entangled, it will not affect anything.

What does it matter whether it is alive or dead?"

"That makes sense." Ye Han nodded, "That's the way, first use the laser gun, then use the incendiary bomb!"

"Yes!" Luo Qi quickly agreed.

"Bridge, blow up the ones outside!"

"Yes!" He Lu also replied immediately.

The order was issued, and the inside and outside of the asteroid took action at the same time.

Under Luo Qi's command, all the soldiers carrying laser guns in the team stood up, and the vertical and horizontal laser beams swept through, easily cutting off a large number of roots.

The broken roots floated slowly in the air, still as automatic as before, not like roots, but like some kind of living thing.

When Ye Han thought of this, a thought suddenly came to his mind: Is this thing really the root of that strange tree?

While thinking, the cut roots entangled themselves, and soon gathered into an irregular sphere like wool.

As the soldiers moved, more and more spheres floated, large and small. When they met, they could merge and grow stronger.

Everyone looked at it fresh and couldn't help but marvel.

At this time, a tentacle ball happened to collide with half of the giant insect that Luo Qi knocked away. The seemingly harmless tentacles wrapped around the insect corpse without warning, and then quickly tightened it. The hard insect shell was dented and broken by the tentacles like an eggshell.

Everyone was immediately shocked. Although the armor was much stronger than the insect shell, it was so easy to crush the insect shell. If the armor was really entangled by this thing, it was hard to say whether it could hold on.

Luo Qi's expression was the most embarrassed and solemn: "Division Commander, why don't we just use incendiary bombs?" The incendiary bombs prepared by the airborne division have their own oxidizers, and the combustion temperature can reach an astonishing 3,000 degrees. Even steel can be burned into molten iron, let alone a mere tentacle?

"Then let's try it." Ye Han said.

He always felt that things were not that simple.

Luo Qi personally took an incendiary bomb, pulled the ring and threw it at the tentacle ball. The moment it touched, the tentacle ball immediately wrapped around the incendiary bomb, and then a blue-green flame jumped out of the tentacle ball, and the high temperature instantly burned a large number of tentacles.

Because the vacuum lacks a medium to conduct heat, only the tentacles that are in contact with the incendiary bomb can touch the amazing high temperature. If there is no direct contact, even if it is close, there is only light but no heat.

Most of the tentacles were burned by the high temperature, but a small number of tentacles shook off the scorched tentacle ball and escaped.

Several of them happened to pop out of the hole, and a soldier pulled out his saber and cut off a tentacle.

The moment the tentacle touched the saber, it wrapped around it. It was so strong that the tentacle was directly cut off by the sharp blade.

The tentacle looked like it was in pain and twisted its slender body frantically.

"Use the scabbard!" Luo Qi reminded in time.

The soldier suddenly realized and immediately handed over the scabbard. The twisting tentacles immediately wrapped around it, turning into a few circles of inconspicuous thin ropes tied around the knife.

The soldier took the scabbard and looked at it, then turned around and handed it to Luo Qi: "Captain, it's alive!"

Luo Qi rolled his eyes helplessly and took the scabbard: "I didn't know it was alive?"

"No, what I mean is, this thing doesn't look like a tree root, it should be a living thing."

Luo Qi agreed very much and handed the scabbard to Ye Han again.

Ye Han didn't even look at it: "I don't care whether it's alive or dead, get rid of it immediately, the sooner the better!"

Luo Qi said nothing and immediately organized the soldiers to eliminate the tentacles, and he himself came to Ye Han's side: "Division Commander, do you need to take a few back and let the higher-ups study it?"

Ye Han thought for a moment and said, "Catch a few and collect them, but don't take them back. Just leave them here. When the base is built in the future, let the superiors send people to study them."

"Yes!" Luo Qi agreed immediately, but soon hesitated and said, "Is this appropriate?"

"Nothing is inappropriate." Ye Han said clearly, "We don't know what this thing is yet. If you really take it back, what if it runs away or something happens, can you bear the responsibility?"

When Luo Qi heard this, he shook his head vigorously.

Are you kidding? Can he bear such a big responsibility?

Ye Han did not wait for Luo Qi to speak, and came to his senses first: "No, with this thing, Base No. 1 must not be built in this place... Bridge?"

"Bridge received, please speak!"

"Don't get too close, keep a safe distance!"

"Yes!" He Lu responded loudly, "Report to the captain, my ship is in place and can bomb the stump again at any time, please give instructions!"

"Just make your own decision, just give me a result."

"Yes!" He Lu agreed, and a few seconds later, waves of imperceptible vibrations were transmitted from the surface of the asteroid to the depths of the asteroid.

Half a minute later, Ye Han received a video sent by He Lu. The video was very short, but it recorded the whole process of the Leishan smashing the stump. The plants rooted on the surface of the asteroid were completely shattered in the bombardment, leaving only a crater several meters deep.

At the bottom of the crater, countless roots penetrated deeply into the asteroid.

Ye Han could not understand at all what motivation prompted this strange tree to desperately take root in the depths of the asteroid.
