Luo Yuan already knew from previous maps that Jiaping City was also an occupied area, or that there were almost no non-occupied areas in Jiangnan Province. But judging from what he saw before him, the city obviously fell much earlier than he imagined.
The asphalt road on the main road from the highway entrance to the city can no longer see its original appearance. A layer of mutated moss that is thirty to forty centimeters thick completely blocks the road.
The moss was covered with spores the size of strawberries. When Luo Yuan and others walked by, the spores seemed to be frightened and burst one after another, erupting into clouds of yellow dust-like smoke.
If it weren't for the fact that these moss, in addition to irritating the mucous membranes, are not toxins, the entire city would be difficult to move around.
This place is almost becoming a relic of civilization. In just over half a year, a large number of tall and short plants have gradually replaced the city. Even some of the remaining tall buildings have been covered with dense vines, which are like thick vines. The giant python entangled the entire high-rise building, and then gathered on the roof, forming a purple ball of tangled vines with a diameter of fifty or sixty meters. It looked quite spectacular, and it was also chilling.
There were rustling sounds everywhere. As Luo Yuan and others moved forward, countless strange mutated creatures emerged from the moss and fled away, including some small insects. to avoid people.
Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you feel the danger here. There is almost an independent biological community in this piece of moss. Luo Yuan estimated that there are no less than a dozen species of creatures living in every square meter. Some creatures have hideous forms. Colorful and apparently not so harmless.
There are very few survivors here, and even ordinary evolvers may have difficulty surviving. Let alone hunting outside, I am afraid that they will fall forever after taking only a few steps.
"I've been here before. There seems to be a Wumart Supermarket in front of it. How about we go over and have a look." Wang Xiaguang said suddenly.
"This should be Tianping Road. There is indeed a supermarket here." Cao Lin thought for a while and said.
Everyone almost stopped.
No matter how determined a person is, he is still a human being. Looking at the countless fleeing creatures under their feet, everyone can't help but feel a little numb and dare not go deeper into it. Although they did not encounter any dangers along the way and there were no powerful creatures, but I don't know why, but this city always feels a bit eerie, and seems to have some kind of ominousness. Even Luo Yuan feels vaguely uneasy.
He looked at the monitor lizard and found that there was no sign of uneasiness, and felt slightly relieved.
This is a high-rise building with about four floors. It is not so much a high-rise building as it is a giant green plant mass more than ten meters high. Its original appearance has long been unclear from the surface. If Wang Xiaguang hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have been able to see it at all. This is a shopping mall.
"Let's go take a look first!" Luo Yuan nodded. He had only one purpose in going to the city this time, which was to obtain daily necessities.
Since the beast wave on the highway, all daily necessities have been lost, and everyone has almost become primitive. There is no sleeping bag, no toothpaste, and not even a change of underwear. A few rags had become the only important supplies, carefully collected and used for various purposes.
Especially when Aunt Cao Lin came last night, the rag had another function.
Not to mention a few women who changed their minds after hearing this embarrassing situation, even Luo Yuan was a little unbearable.
Fortunately, the only clothes everyone wore were synthetic and not damaged. Otherwise, their group would have become naked primitive people in the past few days.
After walking for more than ten meters, Luo Yuan came to a dense plant. He guessed that this should be the door. He pulled out his sword and slashed open the thick layer of plants. Unfortunately, this was not the door. It's a wall that's completely corroded.
However, Luo Yuan didn't bother to look for the real door. He dug a small hole with a diameter of more than one meter in the wall and asked everyone to wait outside. After being careful, he stooped and walked in.
As soon as he got in, a strong musty smell hit his nose, and he quickly held his breath.
It was dark inside, and the ground was slippery when walking on it. I didn't know what it was. It felt like stepping on a pile of mud. There were "gurgling" and "gurgling" sounds under my feet. With the dim light at the entrance of the cave, Luo Yuan saw A quick glance.
There were no mutated creatures inside, and countless shelves were lying on the ground. Most of the shelves were empty, but there were still a few scattered items on them, and more were discarded on the ground.
Luo Yuan noticed that there were dozens of human bones lying messily on the ground. There had obviously been a conflict here.
He was not in a hurry, found the stairs, and walked towards the second floor.
Different from the food on the first floor, the second floor is full of daily necessities. Obviously, the daily necessities are much less attractive than the food. There are far more supplies here than on the first floor, but there are also more bones here, almost faster. There are hundreds of them.
Luo Yuan noticed that some skeletons had bullet holes. He shook his head, almost able to imagine what happened at that time
Jiaping City is an ordinary prefecture-level city, and its strategic position is not as good as that of East Lake. The government's limited armed forces obviously cannot take care of such a city. Maybe it has already fallen not long after the mutation started. This is because there are still goods in the supermarket. It can be seen.
In the later stages of the fall of Hedong City, a temporary wartime rationing system was almost implemented. Large goods trading markets such as supermarkets were closed due to lack of supply and were converted into military workshops. Supermarkets only existed in the early stages of the mutation.
These thoughts passed by in a flash, and then he found a shopping cart that was about to fall apart due to corrosion, and put a large number of daily necessities into it, such as toothpaste, towels, shampoo, underwear, underwear... He almost took whatever he saw, but Most of the ones without packaging bags have rotted away, and even the metal packaging is rusty.
Luo Yuan originally wanted to find an iron pot, but he couldn't find one that was intact, so he finally gave up. It seemed that he could only continue to use stone pots.
Soon a shopping cart was full, and Luo Yuan pushed another one over and continued to fill it.
After loading three cars, he walked to the third floor. Clothing and sporting goods were all placed here. Some pure cotton and wool clothes were rotten, but nylon and chemical fiber ones were still intact. Luo Yuan did not After picking out what he was interested in and stuffing it into the shopping cart as long as it was in good condition, he finally found a wild tent in a sporting goods section.
This made Luo Yuan overjoyed.
It is really inconvenient for everyone to sleep together. Not only do they lose personal space, but they also feel very insecure when they are exposed to the outside. To him, those inconspicuous bugs were more of a threat to him than mutant beasts.
At least the mutated beasts are huge and there will always be some movement, unlike bugs which are hard to guard against.
Although the aura emitted by Zhanma Sword can block the approach of small insects, the world is so big and full of wonders that he is not yet confident enough to think that this aura can deter all insects, and the tent can play a role in defending against small insects. Of course, it can also It requires a synthesis.
However, there were not many tents left. Luo Yuan searched and found only two.
Two tents are obviously not enough, especially since one of them is a fun tent for children. Even Wang Shishi cannot sleep in it, so it is useless.
Luo Yuan noticed that there was a fourth floor above and walked up.
The iron door on the fourth floor was closed tightly. Judging from the mottled writing on it, this was a warehouse. The lock on the doorknob had been broken by someone and fell to the door. Luo Yuan pushed it. Something seemed to be blocking it inside. He couldn't push it at all. Do not move.
Still using the old method, Luo Yuan used a knife to split the door into pieces, and found that the door was blocked by more than a dozen sandbags. No wonder he couldn't push it open.
Luo Yuan patiently threw the sandbags one by one into the distance.
The strength of 13 points is terrifying. This kind of 100 kilogram sandbag is as light as nothing in his hands, and is easily thrown to a distance of more than ten meters, making a dull banging sound.
At this time, the sound of shelves collapsing in the distance suddenly sounded.
Luo Yuan paused and looked suddenly in the direction of the sound. In the darkness were several pairs of green eyes.
