Linchuan County is located at the intersection of Pingjiang and Linjiang, so water transportation is particularly developed. In ancient times, it was also a battleground for military strategists. It can be considered a prosperous large county, but this place has always been quite ominous. There are rumors that dozens of people drown on the riverside every year, and haunted houses and haunted houses abound. Supernatural events are often reported, and even the mass graves that survived hundreds of years ago are often reported. Black smoke billows from the ground.
It seems that two or three months ago, an ancient bone pit was discovered in Linchuan County. Of course, there are also many tombs of ancient nobles. Just when archaeologists, historians, and professionals came from Youzhou and Yangcheng At that time, all those ancient corpses and bones disappeared overnight. It was rumored to be a strange story at the time, and many locals were scared to avoid walking at night.
However, none of this matters anymore.
Because compared to the end of the world, those illusory ghosts and gods are just a bunch of scum. What's so scary about ghosts and ghosts? Even if they really exist, so what if they encounter those terrifying Zerg and Zombies, they are not even worthy of carrying shoes.
"Finally arrived in Linchuan...one day earlier than I thought..."
Li Jiayu's eyes flickered. In his impression, Linchuan County was a nightmare, because there would be many strange things happening here. He was not very clear about the details, because he was just a little gangster at the time and could only hide in The crowd looked around helplessly. It seemed that the escape team had been trapped in heavy fog for three days and nights in Linchuan County. They also encountered a large number of zombies. Li Mo, Wang Yang, Luo Peiyang, and King Kong were all beaten to pieces. Finally, the dark clouds dispersed and the sun shone down, forcing the three-level mid-level skeleton warriors away. Only then did the four of them save their lives.
In that battle, nearly one-third of the vanguard died, including the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Sword King. Even Zhang Yalong from the printing factory had his head ripped off by the green-haired zombies and was trampled to pieces.
As for the number of innocent citizens who died, there were as many as 300,000 to 400,000. It was one of the most horrific disasters since the escape, and its cruelty was second only to the battle between the "Black Sky Demonic Insects" hundreds of miles away from Yong City.
"Jiayu, why do you look so ugly..." Yan Zisu asked softly.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something. Should I enter Linchuan County..."
"Why don't you go in? Even though Linchuan County has long been empty of buildings, there may still be a lot of food and tools left inside, and sleeping in a building is much safer than sleeping in the wilderness..." Yan Zisu agreed. With a sound, she, with her delicate heart, quickly saw something between Li Jiayu's brows and said cautiously:
"What, did you predict that there would be danger in Linchuan?"
"Well..." Li Jiayu thought for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and whispered:
"Forget it, there's no point worrying... They are all a bunch of zombies anyway. With me and Sister Wan Qing as the two light priests, even the three-level mid-level zombie warriors have to get down."
The main reason why Li Jiayu was a little uneasy was that the magnetic field and force field in Linchuan County had been completely chaotic under the influence of the space storm. Even the cockroaches, rats, trees, flowers and plants in the county had undergone strange changes in different situations. This It's like a foreign world. It's hard to find the feeling of an earthly city here.
But... the escape team came one day earlier than I thought, maybe they won't be as unlucky as they were in the previous life, and they won't encounter so many dangers, right
It's just a one-night stay here. Maybe the tragedy in my mind won't happen. Even if it does, it won't matter. Li Jiayu is planning to snatch away the soul flames and magic weapons of those zombie generals and zombie generals.
When the escape team entered Linchuan County, the sky was already extremely dark. The electromagnetic flashes flickering between the clouds had long since dissipated, and the dead silence of the past was restored. It was like there were countless demons and monsters moving around in the surging clouds, emitting A strong sense of depression.
"Hiss... this city..."
Perhaps because of the continuous earthquakes, the buildings in Linchuan County have long been in pieces. Collapsed buildings can be seen everywhere. The streets and highways on the ground have cracked into bottomless ravines. Looking at them, it looks like thousands of ravines. , many abandoned bicycles and motorcycles littered the streets, and those shops had been looted countless times. The glass windows and doors were all broken and in a mess, with black and red blood stains everywhere.
Obviously, this place had also been attacked by insects, but the corpses left by humans had long been eaten clean, so there were not many bone fragments. People could only occasionally find some blood-stained rags, scalps, and shoes.
Of course, these are not enough to surprise people. What really surprises people is that the plants in Linchuan County are extremely incredible.
The poplars and willows planted on the streets are growing crazily thicker and taller as if on hormones. Each tree is twenty or thirty meters tall. The leaves are as thick as a desk and as big as a palm. And those trees are as thick as a palm. The willow trees are even fluttering with white catkins, flying in the air like dandelions, which are sucked into people's noses from time to time, which is extremely uncomfortable.
The flowers and plants were all the same, magnified from three to ten times. When people found roses as big as a basin, they couldn't help but be shocked.
In addition, many gray-black mushrooms were drilled on the ground throughout the city. These mushrooms were of different sizes and very ugly. They also exuded a faint sour smell, like fish soup that had been cooked overnight.
It’s hard to imagine how these mushrooms took root and grew on the asphalt road.
"Incredible... This kind of mushroom is beyond the scope of our understanding..."
"It shouldn't be a species from Earth, right? I don't know if it's a plant from the insect world or the world. The roots are harder than concrete. Mushrooms are all epiphytes on organic matter, but don't these mushrooms growing on asphalt roads need organic matter? Yes. What gives them enough energy to sustain life, and whether they are edible… ”
"Hurry up and make a specimen..."
If those mushrooms are stunning, then the glowing plants are enough to make people dumbfounded.
There are about one-tenth of the trees, emitting bursts of strange lights of various colors under the dim night, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling like a blood pool purgatory.
Why only one tenth of the trees glow and the others do not, no one can study this, and there is no need to study it. Anyway, it is enough that these plants do not look harmful.
There are still many intact houses in Linchuan County. Although there are 1.3 million people in the escape team, it is still not a problem for everyone to squeeze into the room, so by eight o'clock in the evening, basically Accommodation places have been arranged, and the vanguard and civil organizations have also sent people to collect the remaining food.
"Wang Yang, do you feel a little weird?" Li Mozhen took a long puff of cigarette and slowly blew out a smoke ring.
"Uh... what do you mean?" Wang Yang frowned.
"The changes in the plants in Linchuan County are so crazy. We escaped all the way. Although we encountered many strange plants from other worlds, they were still very few after all. But why do the plants in Linchuan County make us so excited? Strange... what is the mystery or crisis in this?" Li Mo took another puff of cigarette and sprayed it towards Wang Yang.
"How do I know? I'm not a botanist... You know, we are just poor people fleeing in the apocalypse. Why bother with a few broken plants? Isn't this just adding trouble?" Wang Yang said. Spreading your hands means you are under great pressure.
"Well... that's not to say, these plants are really weird, they always give me an ominous premonition... Another thing, have you noticed? In the past, every time we went to a new city, we would definitely encounter a lot of bugs, and even some There are a lot of larvae to clean up but here…”
"You mean - there are no Zerg here?" Wang Yang then realized what was strange, frowned and said:
"It is said that there must be monsters when things go wrong. Maybe there is a bigger crisis than the Zerg lurking in this city... Well, that's not right. Are we having some obsessive and nervous fantasy? If there really is something more terrifying than the Zerg, it would be early. He just came out to kill us, how could he wait until now..."
Li Mo nodded, but the sorrow between his brows still couldn't be relieved. He took the last puff of cigarette before throwing the cigarette butt into the cracks in the ground. He smacked his lips, seeming to reminisce about the smell of the cigarette and the small amount stored by the army. The cigarettes were almost gone, and he was a little worried that he would never be lucky enough to smoke again.
"No matter what, we should be more vigilant... Anyway, I have been uneasy since I entered Linchuan County..."
"Well, I will... You hurry up and lead the team to collect food. Don't wait any longer. The food in Gongzhou and Xijiang can only last two or three days. Now some citizens in Xijiang City have exhausted their food. In the afternoon, I saw several children eating bark grass roots..." Li Mo shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"What can I do? When I was in Yulin City, I thought I would encounter many red-capped beetles later, but I didn't expect that the red-capped beetles had completely disappeared. The remaining bugs were all inedible. **, the bugs that harmed me All the meat plans were ruined. Unfortunately, there was a worm meat party at that time. Thinking about it now, it was a waste..." Li Mo also smiled bitterly, with a smell of cigarette smoke in his mouth:
"But it's useless for us to worry... After all, 1.3 million people consume hundreds of tons of food every day. Those berserker warriors, beast warriors, giant warriors and the like consume ten kilograms of dried meat every day, High-energy foods such as chocolate... Hey, I don’t know what to do now. The food problem is simply impossible to solve.”
When Wang Yang heard this, he could only remain silent. He knew that after two or three days of food in Xijiang and Gongzhou City being completely exhausted, humankind's own contradictions would be completely aroused, and the chaos caused by then would probably be even more terrifying than the encounter with the Zerg. Bar…
