In front of everyone's eyes is a dense primitive jungle. Although everyone can't see the original appearance of the jungle, but only from the big tree surrounded by two or three people in front of them, the various vines wrapped around the big tree, and the big tree in the air. It can be judged from the unique fragrance that there is definitely a huge jungle in front of you.
The natural breath of life emanating from this jungle is much more vigorous than any jungle in the past on the earth. The vast breath of life makes people feel fascinated just by standing in front of it.
As Liu Chang with the best eyesight in the crowd, his vision distance is the widest, so he sees the most long-term view—in his eyes, he saw a feast of real life intertwined—
Tall and towering trees are entwined with various vines, and under the trees and vines are all kinds of shrubs and low shrubs that no one has ever seen. If it looks like a saprophyte that looks like a mushroom, then this feast of life is really clear and three-dimensional in the upper, middle and lower layers.
"This is really a hymn to life. There is no place filled with steel and concrete, is it already like this?" Li Qingshui pulled a piece of grass from the ground, put it under his nose and sniffed it.
"Can we break through this jungle?" Standing in the early morning mist, accompanied by the sound of "rustling" and frogs coming from the depths of the jungle, even the strongest member of the team, Shen Mingyi, expressed doubts.
"This... there is no road on the ground!" The soldiers in front searched around on the ground, but they didn't find the location of the "Zheng Kai Avenue" at all.
"There is a road on the ground, see if there are any broken cement blocks, follow the traces of the cement blocks, it is the road before." Zhao Yue, the leader, squatted down and picked up a few pieces among the weeds Cement slag with obvious artificial traces.
Holding the cement slag in his hand, Zhao Yue shouted to the team behind him: "The former cement continent was crushed by plants and their roots, leaving only cement slag, but fortunately, it didn't take long. You can reach Zhengzhou City all the way along the cement slag.”
"The place where the cement road used to be, the plants didn't grow as luxuriantly as in other places." Li Qingshui took a step forward, walked to the front of the line, and carefully looked at the appearance of the surrounding plants, "So, this is also a way for us to find the path." method."
"He's right." Zhao Yue was dumbfounded after hearing Li Qingshui's words. He never thought that this person could find a second way to find out the path in such a short time. Fortunately, he knew the identity of this person as a "brain mutant", so he was not very surprised.
"Company Commander Zhao..." Looking at the dense virgin forest in front of him, Li Qingshui frowned and asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Excuse me."
"Since the end of the day, how many times have your army contacted the superiors of Zhengzhou City?"
"Three times." Zhao Yue replied, "Anyway, I know it's three times."
"How did you get in touch?"
"A temporary emergency communication company has been established in Zhengzhou to issue documents and central information to each subordinate city." Zhao Yue replied: "It seems that there are quite a few emergency temporary communication companies of this kind, and they should all be former reconnaissance companies. Or it was rebuilt by the field army, with a company of 100 people dedicated to sending letters and documents. Now there is no radio, and the wired lines have been destroyed, so we can only rely on this most primitive method.”
"Three times." Li Qingshui rubbed his chin while saying, "How about casualties?"
"The team that came for the first time was ten days ago, and more than a dozen people died. The company that came for the second time had more than 20 dead. The time difference between the third time and the second time was only one day. Six days ago, thirty of them died." Zhao Yue frowned and recalled: "The death rate is quite high."
"No, it's definitely not high. Can a hundred ordinary people really pass through this kind of jungle?" Li Qingshui took a step forward and touched a big tree, with a look of fear in his eyes.
Hearing the fear in his tone, a soldier in the team also took a step forward, and said in a half-joking tone: "Hehe, what's the matter? High IQ mutants are also afraid?"
"Yes." Li Qingshui didn't look back, but carefully observed the texture of the tree in front of him, as if he wanted to judge the growth cycle of the tree through the texture.
"Then let me tell you a more frightening news. There was a rumor in the company where I came. It said that three days ago, another company came from Zhengzhou. There were only 100 people in the company, and only 20 people came out. , and most of them are seriously injured." The soldier joked, and patted Li Qingshui on the shoulder, "How about it, almost 100% casualties."
His joking voice was very low, but it was still heard by Zhao Yue on the side. He strode forward, slapped the soldier on the head and shouted: "Fuck, let's put this nonsense, is this something that can be played as a joke? Your joke, if you put it in the past, it will be A crime of beheading that disturbs the morale of the army, you idiot, go back."
After being shouted down by Zhao Yue, the young-looking soldier pouted and was kicked back into the team by Zhao Yue.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, don't listen to his nonsense. My soldier is young and has no malicious intentions." Zhao Yue also curled his lips. Obviously, this is a soldier he likes very much, otherwise that person would not be in front of him. His face was a joke.
"I know he doesn't mean anything malicious, it's just a way for him to vent his fear. It can be seen that he is the most afraid among the people in the team." Li Qingshui glanced at the soldier, his eyes were still full of worry, "But I don't think he is fooling around, this jungle should be countless times more dangerous than it was a few days ago."
"It's just a jungle. We have guns. Even if there are more and more powerful monsters than those in the urban area, the twenty or so of us are no better than ordinary people. They are all handpicked. It should be fine." Zhao Yue saw Li Qingshui's expression also showed worry, but he didn't stop because of this. "We'll just try to be as careful as possible."
"En." Nodding his head, Li Qingshui walked back to the middle of the team.
"Let's go." Seeing that the team was in order, Zhao Yue waved the fog lights in front of him, and walked into this lush jungle first.
As the team stepped into the jungle, Liu Chang felt that the fog here was thicker, and because various plants blocked his vision, even he couldn't see far from here.
Putting the little girl on his shoulders, Liu Chang whispered, "Notify me in time if there is any danger."
"I know." The girl said tremblingly. The vines hanging from the sky frightened her, she bowed her head with her head bent, her hands wrapped around Liu Chang's neck, and her whole face was stuck to the back of his head.
A group of people walked in the jungle like this, the people in front were constantly following the traces of the gravel, and the people behind were vigilantly paying attention to all the movements around them. The little soldier who was joking with Li Qingshui just now was walking beside Liu Chang, holding a gun and observing everything around him with a pale face.
After the team marched for a few kilometers, there was no danger, but everyone dared not let go of their vigilance. They all looked at the people in front of them with sullen faces to prevent them from falling behind, and at the same time paid attention to any troubles around them. This group The danger vigilance made the atmosphere in the team look very depressed.
"Hey, brother, let's have a conversation. The atmosphere is so serious that it makes me dizzy." The young soldier walking beside Liu Chang lightly poked Liu Chang's arm with his elbow, and turned around. Turned around and said a word to him.
"Uh." Surprised by him, Liu Chang also turned his head to look at him, then immediately frowned, "Hey, why do you look thinner than before?"
"Thin?" The soldier touched his cheek, and touched it with his fingers. Sure enough, what he touched was his own shriveled cheek and prominent cheekbones.
"What's going on?" The man trembled in fright.
