Apocalyptic waste

Chapter 278 Soulwood Lost City

In order to show that they don't eat free food, Ge Ai caught the absent-minded Nan Wei to work with the others. Although he couldn't cut down the mutant plants or dig up the nutrient blocks, he could help carry the chopped beauty's hair.Huo Ming is also helping.It's just that the two children's attention was on Zhang Ruiyang, a little guy who appeared out of nowhere and looked so happy that people were jealous. Listening to his conversation with the adults, the two of them were sometimes indifferent, sometimes envious and jealous, and sometimes looked sad. Thoughtful.

If I were him, I would do better than him when encountering those things.Ge Ayi thought resentfully in his heart, but suddenly saw Zhang Ruiyang standing up and running towards Jian Jian who was crouching next to the back wall of the house. In the past, it was like an old hen with all its feathers raised to protect its cubs.

Huo Rui followed involuntarily, but he didn't throw away the things he was holding.

"You can't eat your fingers, little sister." Zhang Ruiyang stopped when he was two steps away from Jian Jian, and said seriously.

Jian Jian, who was already starving, raised her head and looked at him without any expression, her thumb was still in her mouth, and her small mouth was pursed, as if she was eating a lollipop.The rice hadn't been cooked yet, and each of them was given two biscuits to fill their stomachs. After eating, the little girl kept her fingers in her mouth and didn't take them out.

Ge Ayi staggered, gasped and stopped on the spot, and stared fiercely at Zhang Ruiyang, feeling that he was really making a fuss.

Seeing that Jian Jian ignored him and was still sucking his fingers, Zhang Ruiyang frowned in distress, thought for a while, took another step forward, then squatted down in front of Jian Jian, stretched out his hand and carefully took the little girl's finger When she came out, she did not forget to coax her: "Be good, little sister, your fingers are so dirty, your stomach hurts after eating... oh, it's all bleeding!"

Hearing the blood, Ge Ayi rushed forward, grabbed Jian Jian's little hand that was as cold as a popsicle, and found that a piece of flesh had been bitten off from his thumb, and there were blood beads on it, but it was cold, As soon as I took it out, my mouth froze, and it didn't continue to bleed.But it turned out that it was because her fingers were numb from the cold, and Jian Jian was so hungry that she didn't feel any pain when she bit her finger, she just sucked the salty and sweet blood subconsciously.When it can't be sucked out, it will be gnawed there with small teeth.If Zhang Ruiyang hadn't been nosy, maybe this finger would have been bitten badly.

As soon as the finger was taken out, the little girl immediately looked like she was about to cry, not because she felt pain, but because she felt that the delicious food had been taken away.Fortunately, Zhang Ruiyang took out a piece of chocolate from his bag, tore open the package, and stuffed it into her mouth. The little girl suddenly forgot the little hand that was still held by Ge Ayi, and giggled. She was numb at first. His eyes suddenly brightened.

Ge Ayi was still a little angry with Zhang Ruiyang, but Zhang Ruiyang took out another piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Brother, here you are." Zhang Ruiyang said, and then took out another piece for Huo Rui, who was hesitant to step forward, "Brother, you can eat too." His purse is like a treasure bag , It seems that you can't finish it no matter how you take it.

Huo Rui hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist the temptation of the food, stepped forward to take it, and said thank you in a low voice.

"You're welcome." Zhang Ruiyang replied with a smile, then turned to look at Jian Jian's little hand, after thinking for a while, he took out a small handkerchief from his purse, wrapped it around her lightly, and tied a knot.

Looking at the finger wrapped like a radish, Ge Ayi was a little speechless, but his hostility towards Zhang Ruiyang was much less.But Jian Jian, because she has food, she doesn't care at all how others manipulate her little hands.

"Hello, how old are you?" Seeing that Jian Jian was fine, Ge Ayi stood up, put his hands on his hips, and asked Zhang Ruiyang loudly, trying very hard to appear to be looking down.

"Six years old." Zhang Ruiyang didn't feel being provoked at all, squatting there, stretched out one hand seriously, and opened the five.

"Stupid, that's five, okay." Geai said contemptuously.

Zhang Ruiyang decisively added another finger.In fact, he was more than five years old, but after the end of the world, few people talked about his age in front of him. He was very vague about this, and felt that he was four years old a long time ago. After so long, he should be six years old.And six years old sounds more prestigious than four or five years old, because you can go to school.

"Then you have to call me brother." Ge Ayi raised his head and said with a little pride.It turned out that he was holding back his energy and waiting here because of Zhang Ruiyang's "brother call".

Zhang Ruiyang was stunned for a moment, stood up, looked at Ge Ayi again, and said with some disbelief: "But...but I'm taller than you." As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured between the two heads.

Ge Ayi's dark and thin face turned red all of a sudden, and he flew into a rage: "I am eight years old!" What he hates the most is when others compare his height with him.

"You are eight years old, why are you shorter than me?" Zhang Ruiyang looked surprised, unaware that the other party was angry, and continued to sprinkle salt on the wound.He has always felt that he is not tall, but he did not expect that there are people who are shorter than him. He can't help but feel a little excited, feeling that he has finally found someone with a common language, so he began to discuss this issue seriously: "Why do we Are you not growing tall? Is it because you don’t drink milk? But now you can’t drink milk, so what if you don’t grow taller? By the way, you are swearing, you are not allowed to swear.” At the end, I still don’t forget to warn One sentence.

"When did I say dirty words?" Ge Ayi glared, obviously irritated, with a very bad tone, but cleverly avoided the first question.

"You say Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is a dirty word." In Zhang Ruiyang's impression, these two words are not good.

"You idiot, I mean father, how could father be a dirty word?" Ge Ayi explained violently, not understanding how someone could be so stupid.

"Then why do you say you are father?" Zhang Ruiyang was very puzzled.

"..." Ge Ayi felt that he was going crazy.

Huo Rui, who has always been taciturn, burst into laughter, while Jian Jian, who was slowly licking chocolate, was not interested in the conversation between the two of them. Her two big eyes were staring straight at Zhang Ruiyang's purse, as if she wanted to know if it was still inside. Can make delicious chocolate.

"The entire Ronghe County is occupied by that big tree. We are lucky to be able to escape, let alone bring food and clothing." He briefly told a few people in the car what happened in the car, and finally said with endless fatigue and bitterness in his tone: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, we just drank a bowl of mutated plant leaf porridge all day yesterday, what's the point today?" I didn’t even eat it.” This was also an indirect explanation to Shi Pengsan why they were digging out the beauty’s hair instead of going to Qiao Yong and the others immediately.

Zhang Yi and the others did not expect that they had such worries not long ago. They discussed how to lure Song Yan's convoy to Ronghe and stationed there, so as to fight against the increasingly powerful mutant creatures. Who knew that they hadn't implemented it yet, but something happened here. up.

"If you can get rid of that mutated tree, do you still want to go back?" Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, then asked across Nanshao.

Nan Shao didn't like Zhang Yi's physical contact with other people, so Zhang Yi deliberately went around to the other side to get in the car, and let Nan Shao sit between himself and Xiong Hua.And this seemingly inadvertent action really hit Nan Shao's mind. Although he still didn't pay attention to others, there was a touch of softness between his brows and eyes, and he no longer looked so cold and alienated.

"I don't want to." Xiong Hua shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The number of people is too small, there is no way to survive in the last days, let alone..." Besides, there are many old, weak and non-awakened people in the team. It is really difficult to bring them to live together. It was too hard and too tiring.He didn't go on with this sentence, but changed the subject: "We originally wanted to go to Yunzhou to see if we could find you, or a survivor base, who knows that everything along the way has been searched clean , without a car or gas, if it wasn’t for the occasional edible mutated plants, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to see you.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi sighed silently: "Fortunately, you didn't get a car, and you can't go to Yunzhou." He gave a general overview of the situation in Yunzhou base.

After Xiong Hua heard this, he couldn't help gasping for air, he didn't know whether people like himself were lucky or unlucky.

"By the way, where are Fatty and Little Pei Yuan?" Until this moment, he finally thought of asking, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes as he spoke.Most of the survivors who are still alive today understand that leaving without returning means only one possibility, that is, they will never come back.However, people always inevitably have a fluke mentality.

"They are too weak, so they stay in Yunzhou, with the team surnamed Song." Unexpectedly, it was Nan Shao who answered.

"It's fine." This was really a surprising answer, Xiong Hua let out a sigh of relief, and finally felt a little better, but he didn't ask any more.In fact, he was a little embarrassed, and even he himself couldn't explain why he was like this. You must know that he didn't feel this way before.

During this period of time, there was not much fighting, and Zhang Yi was inseparable. Nan Shao's mood was very peaceful. The half of the ant armor remaining on his face had almost faded away, leaving only a little bit on the forehead, but was covered by long hair. Even if it is blocked, it can't be seen, so Xiong Hua can only feel the change in his temperament, but he didn't notice other abnormalities.

There was a brief silence in the car. Fortunately, the destination was not far away and arrived in a blink of an eye, and no one noticed the slight change in the atmosphere.

Everyone got out of the car, Zhang Yi and Shi Pengsan observed the surrounding situation, Nan Shao followed closely beside Zhang Yi, Li Muran stood at the front of the car and looked at the overpass and tall buildings hidden in the mutated plant forest not far away in a daze.The last two cars stopped, and the people inside got out. Besides the four people brought by Xiong Hua, there were also four people from Shen Chi.

"They did come here, they should have entered from here." After a while, Zhang Yi came to a conclusion.In front of him, although the fast-growing mutated plants were intertwined and intertwined to form a plant wall, it was still possible to vaguely see that a section of it was thinner than other places, and even cut off branches could be found on the ground. leaf.

Xiong Huahang couldn't help clenching his hand by his side, he couldn't tell whether he was relieved or worried, Qiao Yong and the others lived up to everyone's trust, and if they didn't come out now, it was tantamount to encountering an insoluble trouble.

"Muran, can you check the situation inside here?" Zhang Yi turned around and asked something that made Xiong Hua's doubts arise again, but it's not a good time to ask, so he can only bear it for now.

"I've tried it, it doesn't work. If you go 300 meters ahead, you won't be able to see anything." Standing there, Li Muran obviously wasn't idle. The city in front of her made her feel puzzled and inexplicably uneasy.

Zhang Yi looked up, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about what was hidden there, and whether they should make some preparations before entering.

"Let's go." Shi Pengsan opened his mouth, took the lead to open the way, and followed the traces left by Qiao Yong and the others.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, and exchanged glances with Nan Shao, without any extra words, he stepped up to follow.Nan Shao raised his chin to Li Muran: "You go in front of Ah Yi." Then he walked behind Zhang Yi's left.Only in this way can he take care of two people.

In fact, with Li Muran's supernatural ability, she doesn't need such protection, but she is a girl after all, and she walked out of the slums with Zhang Yi and the others. Treating her differently from others, requiring a little more care, is like bullying Meat Ta Chen a little more.

The process of entering the dense forest is not as dangerous as imagined, but the increasingly dim light under the forest and the various strange mutant plants that emit dreamlike and beautiful light make everyone amazed and very vigilant.The plant fragrance flowing in the air is fresh and lingering, making people almost forget the ferocity of mutant plants.

However, unlike other people, Li Muran's complexion has not been very good since he entered the forest, and it got worse as he walked in. When he was about 500 meters away, he suddenly trembled, bent over and retched stand up.

"What's the matter, Muran?" Everyone was taken aback, even the two who were leading the way in front took time to look back.Zhang Yi reached out to support her and asked with concern.

Li Muran's face turned pale, he closed his eyes, and it took him a while to regain his composure, and said in a low voice, "This is wrong. Very wrong..." Then there was a long silence, as if he didn't know how to describe his feeling.

wrong?Doubts floated in everyone's hearts, and they looked around.

It was still early at this time, although the mutated forest was densely covering the sky, there were still a few rays of skylight leaking from the gaps in the branches and leaves, and there were glowing plants under the forest, so it was not too dark, and I could see clearly walking through the forest not far away. Abandoned and rusted car lanes.There are half-exposed bones in the broken car windows, there are scattered limbs on the ground covered with garbage and broken branches, and there are zombie corpses whose heads have been smashed but have not rotted due to the cold weather. Except for the slightly different mutated plants, Everything is no different from other cities they have seen after the end of the world.

Although they wanted to know what was wrong, but seeing that Li Muran's condition was not very good, and out of trust in her, everyone did not speak out to urge her.Xiong Hua and the others were anxious to ask, but seeing the reactions of others, they had no choice but to hold back.

There was a sound of clashing swords and swords, Shi Pengsan and another person who opened the way ahead solved the golden mutated vines blocking the road, turned around and walked back without continuing.

"Ever since I entered here, I have been using my mental power to investigate the surrounding situation..." Li Muran finally opened his mouth, but his lips were still trembling, but it was not because he was scared, but because his mental power was attacked and he was disgusted. Dizzy and uncomfortable, so he spoke slowly and laboriously, as if he was struggling to organize his words: "It was okay at the beginning, but it was just blurry, and I couldn't see too clearly, but from now on, it's just like watching a fast-forward landscape film. Similarly, the detected pictures will change like this for a while... for a while, and some of them are so distorted that you can’t recognize what they are.” At this point, she let out a heavy breath, with a disturbed look on her face, “I don’t think we can do it any more. Go down."

Hearing this, everyone looked a little dignified, but obviously they were not prepared to give up so easily because of her words.

"What do you guys think?" Zhang Yi patted Li Muran on the back reassuringly, without expressing his opinion, he turned to ask others.

Nan Shao didn't answer immediately, but activated the supernatural power, covered his eyes, and looked around.

"It's only two or three o'clock now, and there are still a few hours before dark, so far there has been no danger that we can't deal with, so let's go back like this..." Xiong Hua couldn't help saying.He didn't understand Li Muran's abilities, even if he had some doubts about her judgment, he wisely didn't say it out, but he managed to gather these powerful people, but he gave up because of such unreasonable reasons, he was really not reconciled .After all, Qiao Yong doesn't know what's wrong, the longer the delay, the worse it will be.

"The mutated plants around here are not alive." Nan Shao said suddenly, and everyone present was shocked by what he said.

"Not a living thing?" Zhang Yi asked, a little puzzled.

"Well. Except for us, there is no living thing around." Nan Shao nodded, with a rare dignified expression on his face. "I don't feel the vitality. Even the zombies still have some dim light, and there is nothing here."

Everyone gasped, and no one spoke for a while.

Shi Pengsan glanced at the golden vine they cut off and threw on the ground just now. It didn't look like it was lifeless. Although he was puzzled, he didn't refute it.Everyone knows Nan Shao's character, and he is definitely not the kind of person who spouts alarmist words.

"Forward? Backward?" After a while, Zhang Yi broke the somewhat stagnant atmosphere.

Shen Chi's subordinates didn't express their opinions. They were here to help, so it didn't matter what happened.Xiong Hua had already said it before, and he didn't change his mind because of Nan Shao's words, so he just remained silent.On the other hand, Shi Pengsan pondered for a while, and said: "If you don't find out the situation here, you won't be able to discuss a solution when you go back. Even if you quit now, you still have to come tomorrow. Coming and going will only delay things. It's better to continue." .Whether you can find someone or not is the next step, at least figure out what's wrong here."

Zhang Yi glanced at Nan Shao, who nodded.Nan Shao didn't want Zhang Yi to take risks, but he knew better in his heart that if there was something wrong with the mutant forest, now that they had penetrated into it, it might not be so easy to get out.If there is no problem, there is nothing to worry about.

"Then continue." Zhang Yi made a decision, and then he did not forget to ask Li Muran: "Muran, how are you?"

"It's okay, it's much better." Li Muran wiped off the sweat on his head, and stood up straight.

"Don't use your abilities for the time being." Zhang Yi reminded.

Li Muran hummed, but was secretly worried.If she can't use the spirit detection ability, it means that her teleportation ability can't be used, which is definitely not good news.
