At about 5:30 that afternoon, all team members had returned to the square and brought back a large amount of canvas, plastic sheets, wood boards, aluminum alloy blocks, metal bars, etc., all piled high together. After Chu Hao carefully selected them, he selected some fabrics, wood, and aluminum alloy blocks and put them into his space fragments.
It's almost time. Let's rush to the edge of the city first, and then find a place to stay under a huge tree. It's too late today. We'll start making the hot air balloon tomorrow, preferably tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest. Then we'll rush to New York.
After Chu Hao made his decision, he led everyone to find a few cars that could still be driven and drove directly out of the city.
The location of this city has basically been figured out. It is located in a city in Tennessee. It is still a long way from here to New York, and everyone only has thirty days, so there is really no time to delay. .
It doesn’t take long to drive. Everyone has arrived at the edge of the city. From here on, the fields outside are already covered with green grass and trees. Only the highway can be vaguely seen. Even the grass on both sides of the highway has almost grown onto the road. , the feeling of desolation made everyone feel even stronger.
It was already about six o'clock at this moment, the sun was about to set, and the whole sky was a fiery red. Soon, the sky would get dark. From then on, it would be extremely dangerous outside this wilderness, and no one knew that Chu Hao What was exchanged? Except for a few people, the rest of them began to get nervous. Ochi even said directly: Captain, do we have to travel all night? But those zombies, no, I think they should be called mutants, those mutants But if you hunt at night, you might encounter them on the highway.
Of course it's impossible to travel at night.
Chu Hao smiled slightly and directly found the strongest big tree. Then he closed his eyes silently in front of the big tree for a moment, then opened his eyes and started making gestures, then recited a spell, and then everyone In his eyes, a wooden gate appeared on the trunk of the tree.
Everyone saw that Chu Hao actually opened the door. Behind the door was not a wooden trunk, but a wooden room, and there were wooden chairs, tables, beds, and even the floor. It's made of wood and even has windows. It looks a bit like a holiday cabin in the countryside.
Chu Hao walked directly into the wooden house, and the others hesitated a little, and followed Chu Hao into it. After walking inside, everyone realized that the room was not small, at least more than fifty square meters. , although there is only one room, it is not difficult at all to accommodate the entire Arctic team members, but in fact, the diameter of the trunk of this big tree is definitely not more than ten meters, and this room is larger than the big tree. Much bigger.
After the door is closed, it looks directly like the trunk of a big tree from the outside, and even if the trunk is broken, we cannot enter our room. To be precise, this room should be a shrunken demiplane. Not through special measures. Or a huge amount of energy cannot break through the magic limit and cannot enter this space. Of course, windows and other things will not show it from the outside. This tree is just a tree, so we are absolutely safe here. The only Unfortunately, the size of this room is determined by the tree, and trees smaller than the thickness of a door cannot use this magic, and it can only last for twenty-four hours. After twenty-four hours, the tree will will wither and die.
Although Chu Hao said so, he was very satisfied with this magic. Perhaps this magic has great restrictions under the DND rules. For example, the druids in the DND rules will prevent the spread and use of this magic. Use Force can be used, and there are gods in the forest system to stop it, so this magic that consumes the life of a tree of a certain age is indeed restricted under the DND rules.
But for the real world, this magic is extremely useful. It is a must-have for home travel, murder and arson. You only need a big tree to have an almost absolutely safe residence. You don’t have to worry about the dangers of the wild at all, and it is also It can be regarded as a kind of magic that hides all signs. This kind of magic is simply too cost-effective. If you want to use technology or creation to achieve this, you have to invest at least tens of thousands of reward points to achieve it, but magic is only All it takes is a tree.
The rest of the team was obviously very excited about such a wooden house. Not to mention the safety, living like this really saved me the trouble of traveling. Especially the newcomer girl, who was walking around the wooden house excitedly.
By the way, after returning to reality, this new girl is obviously in much better spirits than before. She will also talk and laugh, and is no longer as lifeless as before. This is when she is the most surprised and active in the wooden house.
Now that they had a safe place to live, everyone finally felt relieved and started preparing dinner immediately. Because with Chu Hao's space fragments, there was no shortage of ingredients. Although there was a lack of chefs, many people present were cooking. experience, you won’t eat half-cooked food. Although the taste is not guaranteed to be delicious, you can still be full, right? And you can eat very full, such as Nian Xikora
After dinner, everyone was chatting with each other. I don’t know where Zhang Heng turned over a deck of playing cards. He took Tom and Aoqi and started playing Landlord. They played a few games. Then, suddenly the newcomer girl Bliss exclaimed, which focused everyone's attention. Bliss suddenly pointed to the distance and said: There, there is fire there.
Everyone quickly stood up and gathered in front of the window. Sure enough, looking out from the window, they could see a vague firelight on the very far horizon, but it was not obvious at such a distance. , but it’s just a tiny bit of red dot. If it weren’t for the so-called light pollution in this era, otherwise in the normal world, you wouldn’t be able to see such a tiny bit of light even in the wild.
Everyone saw the fire, and they all looked at Chu Hao at the same time. Chu Hao was silent for a moment, then shook his head decisively and said: No, first, the distance is too far, even if you rush to Nian Xikong, it will still cost you. For a long time, when I rushed over, I couldn't tell whether there was anyone over there. Moreover, it was night and it was too dangerous. Creatures outside could rush in when the door was opened. I can't make fun of your lives, so I won't I will promise you to leave this house and record the direction at most. We will search it tomorrow. And people who can live from the end of the world to the present generally have ways to deal with these mutants. Maybe this fire is one of their ways. , if we rush over, we might actually harm them, so that’s it, we won’t go out.
There was nothing to say that night. The next day, when it was bright and the sun came out, everyone left the tree house. Outside the tree house, the vehicles they drove yesterday had obvious signs of being rummaged and pushed, and there were also many things on the ground. The footprints were obvious outside the tree house. I don't know how many mutants had arrived yesterday. Suddenly, the newcomer girl and Tom muttered that it was a good thing they didn't leave the tree house yesterday, otherwise they would definitely be knocked into the head.
Chu Hao has already made assumptions about these mutants. First, their metabolism is extremely fast, which can be seen from the plot of the movie, which causes their body temperature to rise and they are very sensitive to cold. Second, , because of the accelerated metabolism, they are extremely powerful and extremely fast, and are likely to increase muscle strength and bone strength at the same time. Almost every mutant is nearly ten times stronger than ordinary people.
The above are two characteristics that are directly reflected in the plot. Secondly, Chu Hao guessed that their sense of smell should be sensitive, otherwise the protagonist would not spray disinfectant to remove the smell every time he returns, but the last woman in the plot did not spray it. The disinfectant water immediately led these mutants to find the room where the hero was, and this sense of smell allowed them to better hunt prey.
Yes, the acceleration of metabolism will not only improve their physical fitness, but also increase their food consumption. At the same time, their life span should also be reduced. Naturally, it is impossible for these mutants to plant anything, so they will only It may be hunting various creatures, of course, it may also be digging plant tubers and fruits. After all, they are also modified from humans, so they should still be omnivorous, because after all, they are not real zombies, not those dead people.
Not to mention these, when everyone left the tree house, Chu Hao immediately ordered Nian Xikong to rush to the place where the fire came out last night. Nian Xikong flew with his sword and returned from there in only ten minutes, and she took The information that came back made Chu Hao think for a while, because she found an overturned truck there, with a large amount of food and various human supplies, such as paper, clothes, and even toothpaste. , and the large truck carrying goods had exploded and was charred to a mess. Blood stains were also found at the scene, but no bodies were found. In addition, according to Nian Xikong, many traces of vehicles were also found there, If it can leave traces, it means that a vehicle has driven by it at least recently.
In other words, there should be gathering places for humans in the mountains or plateau areas nearby.
Chu Hao murmured with slight interest, and next to him, Zhang Heng immediately asked: You seem to be very interested, are you planning to find a gathering place for surviving humans
Chu Hao immediately laughed. He smiled and said: Yes, if you can find a gathering place for surviving humans along the way, then why not? Right, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Heng, we are a secret human government laboratory that came out of Area 51 in the United States. The last survivor, what if you don’t find the gathering place for survivors
We are the saviors of this world.
