"That's the only possibility left."
Lü Yongchang shrugged and spread his hands helplessly. "I don't believe the Giant Trees could be that unintelligent."
At that, Mao Zhengzhi rubbed the tip of his nose and gave a wry smile.
"Yes. Based on the exchange just now, our preliminary estimate puts its intelligence at the level of a five-year-old New Human."
"The Giant Trees on Lost Star certainly didn't display such a low level of intelligence."
While the two were talking, Meng Lu had already finished drafting a new message and pressed the output button.
The moment the bioelectric signal was released, the thumping in the Biological Laboratory stopped abruptly.
It was as though the message had stunned the sapling, which had been born only five years ago.
Unlike last time, a series of messages appeared in the translation program's interface after only a few seconds.
[How do you know of Him?]
"'Him'?" Lü Yongchang immediately frowned. "Zero, is there something wrong with your translation?"
That pronoun was generally reserved for deities.
Its appearance here undoubtedly put Lü Yongchang on high alert.
It touched on the relationship between this sapling and the Giant Trees on Lost Star, while also hinting at a hierarchy among the Lost Giant Trees.
An electronic synthesized voice promptly rang out.
"There is no error in the translation."
Zero explained in detail, "The moment the electrodes released the signal, the Probe Needle detected an unusual bioelectric signal within the root system."
"The emotions expressed by this bioelectric signal are rather complex."
"Following a comprehensive assessment, the preliminary analysis identified reverence, obedience, and faith."
Perhaps because the humans had yet to respond, the sapling could no longer contain itself and began asking one question after another.
[Do you know Him?] [Where is He?] [Say something!]
