Before leaving Linghu Wetland Park, Chu Guang first took Ye Shi to visit the mutant leech nest near the parking lot.

"That's where we found those mushrooms." Ye Shi pointed to the broken cement pipe not far ahead.

"Fortunately you didn't go in."

Chu Guang patted Ye Shi on the shoulder.

"Let's go."

"That's not our goal today."

I heard that leeches can be used as medicine, but I don't know if mutated leeches can be used.

The two carefully avoided the mutant leech's nest, avoided lush vegetation and concrete ruins, and tried to walk in the sun as much as possible.

Walked some way eastward.

Looking at the viaduct and residential buildings ahead, Ye Shi, who was following Chu Guang, couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't we going hunting?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you getting further and further away from the forest?"

"The forest lies ahead."

"?"

Chu Guang didn't explain much. He silently took off the iron tube rifle on his back and pushed the bullet into the chamber. His aura also changed.

Not far away is a broken viaduct.

On the concrete load-bearing columns covered with moss, the traces of time are hidden by the shadows of green plants.

The rat as big as a washbasin licked the muddy water in the stone pit of the sewer. When it spotted the two uninvited guests, it quickly scurried to the grass on one side.

Ye Shi raised his head, his pupils dilated slightly, and there was a touch of shocking color.

Behind the broken viaduct, there were tall buildings covered with vines and moss. Thick roots penetrated the cracked concrete ground, and tree trunks rose up in the middle of the road, overturning the trees that had long been turned into iron.

Poor car and bus station.

This green hell is full of life, but also contains the murderous intention to devour everything.

The world in his eyes was so shocking, every frame looked like a post-apocalyptic style work of art, that Ye Shi even forgot that this was the "game world".

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of Chu Guang's words.

This is the real forest...

"You have to be careful from here on out."

As Chu Guang spoke, he opened the safety of the iron tube rifle and explored forward step by step.

Although this can only be regarded as the northern suburbs of Qingquan City and is far from the core urban area, we still cannot let down our guard.

High-rise residences, sewers, three-dimensional gardens, parking lots, drone hives, CNC planting towers, maglev stations and behind every window...

All man-made miracles, after being abandoned by civilization, have become natural greenhouses and seedbeds.

After the nuclear war, there was indeed a long cold winter on this land, but it only lasted less than half a century.

The power of nature turned everything around.

The first thing to fall was the high-rise building, with moss starting along the backlight, eroding upwards, and eventually covering its entire body.

And those non-high-rise buildings are not immune.

During the years of human decline, all it took was a few downpours and a sultry summer to turn this place into a paradise for fungi and angiosperms growing wildly.

They provide abundant food for wild animals.

After the urban drainage system was paralyzed, the freshwater resources in the urban area were even richer than those in the nearby Linghu Lake.

Wild animals and out-of-control poultry began to migrate from forests, lakes, and farms to cities with more comfortable living environments, and under the triple effects of radioactive substances, genetic weapons, and time, they evolved into vicious and bloodthirsty mutants.

They are collectively called alien species!

certainly……

The dangers here are far more than that.

After carefully walking along the street of No. 76 Street for a while, the surroundings were quiet. Just when Ye Shi was thinking about where all the alien species had gone, Chu Guang's voice came from beside him.

"There is a situation."

In front of a scrapped car, Chu Guang suddenly stopped.

Ye Shi came back to his senses immediately, stopped in his tracks, and looked around nervously, but saw nothing.

"What happened?"

Chu Guang looked solemn.

"There are traces of survivor activity."

"Other survivors?!" Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, imitating Chu Guang and lowering his voice, but couldn't hide the excitement in his tone, "Are they the aborigines of the wasteland?"

Finally get to meet other NPCs!

He has been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Chu Guang glanced at him and knew what he was thinking.

"You don't have to be so excited. This is not something to be happy about."

"Why?"

"Because in a place like this, strangers are more dangerous than alien species."

Without explaining anything to him, Chu Guang knelt down and found a bunch of cans strung with wire behind the scrapped wheel.

The aluminum can was broken outwards, and from the fracture it looked like something had exploded, and the residual smell of rotten eggs could still be vaguely smelled.

"Gunpowder containing excessive amounts of sulfur, as well as thumbtacks and pieces of iron..."

Chu Guang frowned.

Mutant?

Or a predator?

Normally survivors will not deploy tripwire mines near settlements.

This kind of thing is difficult to harm alien species with a sensitive sense of smell, in other words, it is not harmful to humans.

Judging from the residual smell, the explosion time should not be long, at most five hours or even less.

Chu Guang turned around and asked.

"When you came out of the underground, did you hear explosions coming from the east?"

Ye Shi shook his head nervously.

"No."

"wait for me here."

Looking at Chu Guang who put down the can and stood up, Ye Shi asked nervously.

"What do you want to do?"

"Inspect the situation ahead."

"I can come with you-"

"You, stay here."

Ye Shi wanted to insist, but when he met Chu Guang's eyes, he choked on his words again, and finally nodded slowly.

The pressure from the authority dog ​​made him feel that the man in front of him was not trying to mess with him, and he might really be kicked off the line...

Instruct Ye Shi to hide it next to the abandoned car.

Chu Guang put away the gun, pulled out the sharpened steel pipe from his back, and quickly slipped into the building on the side of the street with a low body.

Although he did intend to use this player as bait when he came out, the situation is different now.

Opposite are other survivors, and they are likely to be predators or mutant tribes. The bait has lost its meaning and will only alert the snake.

Chu Guang looked solemn and held the steel pipe tightly in his hands.

The straight-line distance from this place to Linghu Wetland Park is at most 1 kilometer, which is too close to Refuge 404!

Especially now that players are engaged in large-scale production, even if the smoke, dust and sound generated are partially blocked by plants and concrete barriers, sooner or later they will be discovered by people here.

Keeping these dangers is always a hidden danger.

Chu Guang was already ready to kill.

Once he determines that the other party may pose a threat, he will strike first without hesitation.

The ten-story building along the street has a very narrow tunnel and the small space is covered with moss.
