There was a sound of something breaking.
This place used to be a famous tourist destination, with a high altitude and sparse population.
It is also because of this that, even though it has been a while since the end of the world, and the outside world is already covered in blood and smoke, it is still very quiet and peaceful here.
A team of four survivors arrived here after a long journey.
"Ah, we should be able to relax for a while now." The young man in the lead, who was wearing a black windbreaker and had long hair, let out a long sigh and sat down.
He took out a small bag of biscuits from his bag, then took out a black fist-sized instrument and dropped it into the lake in front of him.
Before the end of the world, this lake was once known as the pearl of the planet and the mirror of the sky, and it is still beautiful today.
"drop."
The instrument beeped and emitted a green light.
"Boss, this water is not polluted!" the man shouted excitedly, and at the same time he couldn't help but bend down, scoop up a handful of water and drink it down.
The other three were overjoyed upon hearing this and came over to get some water to drink.
At this moment, the instrument they had put aside for detecting water pollution suddenly beeped rapidly and lit up a yellow light.
The brightness of the yellow light increased from a firefly at a speed visible to the naked eye to a level that was blinding.
"What's going on..." someone muttered, "Is this instrument broken?"
This instrument is a small device invented after the end of the world. It can quickly detect the composition and material of all liquids, especially to detect whether the water source is contaminated by viruses at the first time.
The green light just came on, which means that the water is safe to drink.
As for the yellow light...
This color, which generally represents neutrality, represents energy on this instrument.
The stronger the light, the stronger the energy.
In just a short while, the yellow light had become brighter than incandescent.
The one called the boss was a short-haired woman with a stern face and a scimitar on her waist.
She shouted in a low voice: "Something is wrong, everyone retreat and leave the lake."
Her words obviously had absolute authority in the team. The four of them picked up their backpacks and retreated without hesitation.
They had just taken two steps when the calm lake in front of them suddenly began to ripple.
"Find shelter and hide!" The four of them quickly hid themselves, their eyes fixed on the abnormal lake.
The movement of the lake water became louder and louder, until a sunken vortex formed in the center.
The four of them watched this unreasonable scene in silence, each of them tightly gripping their weapons.
Then, they all widened their eyes—
A man emerged from the water!
It didn't suddenly emerge from the water like swimming, but it rose slowly from the center of the vortex in an extremely unreasonable way.
It's like watching a movie.
What's even more outrageous is that the person in the water has waist-length hair and is wearing a robe that is obviously completely different from the current style, especially his appearance...
It doesn't seem right to say that any part of his facial features is particularly good-looking.
But he just looked at it again and again, and it was so beautiful that he couldn't ignore it and couldn't refute it.
With this look and this appearance, he doesn't look like an ordinary person at all.
God? Water God? Mountain God? These absurd speculations appeared in the minds of the four people.
The person involved, Jiang Lin, was confused.
He finally came out of the stone egg.
The soul had been alone for too long, and the memories in his mind were like countless fragments, wandering around in chaos and unable to be integrated for a while.
There is someone here.
He looked straight over, looking at the four people through the cover.
The four of them were unaware that they had been exposed, and they hid quietly, holding their breath.
Jiang Lin frowned, wanted to speak, opened his mouth, but no sound came out - he was silent for too long and couldn't even speak.
A trace of annoyance flashed across his brows, and as his mind moved, the huge rocks and trees where the four people were hiding were turned into powder and scattered by the wind.
Four people: “…”
Their eyes met Jiang Lin's.
I didn't dare to take chances, and I had a clear understanding of the strength of this strange, god-like person.
Boss.
Can't beat.
The short-haired woman reacted very quickly. She stepped forward and greeted politely, "Hello, we are just passing by and will leave after taking a rest. We are very sorry if we disturbed you."
Jiang Lin opened his mouth, but he still had some difficulty speaking. However, he could understand what the woman said.
The four of them watched helplessly as a strange man, who was not sure whether he was a human or something else, walked towards them in the water as if he were walking on flat ground, found a clean stone to sit down on, and said nothing.
The four of them looked at each other cautiously for a while, and the short-haired woman said, "Then... we won't disturb you anymore and will leave."
The four of them hurriedly turned around and left, and the strange mysterious man did not stop them.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they kept on galloping forward for a long time, and when they opened their eyes they saw the mysterious man sitting next to them.
Four people: “…”
After this happened three times, they became enlightened.
This strange person doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking you, so just follow him if you want.
The short-haired woman even gave the other person a piece of bread.
But the mysterious man refused. Not only did he refuse, he also stretched out his right hand and pointed his index finger at the ground in front of him through the void.
The short-haired woman watched as a small green seedling suddenly emerged from the empty ground, and then grew taller.
In one minute it grows into a tree taller than itself, then blooms and bears fruit.
There were many big, plump red apples hanging on the tree.
The short-haired woman was stunned: What kind of magical operation is this! Is this really not an illusion
Jiang Lin pointed at Apple and looked at her.
"Give it to us?" The short-haired woman couldn't help swallowing. This was a rare creature.
She saw the mysterious man nodded.
Although the other party couldn't speak, he seemed to understand.
The short-haired woman didn't hesitate and picked up a lot of them and shared them with her teammates.
She was not afraid of any traps: with the strength displayed by this mysterious boss, taking the lives of the four of them would be just a matter of waving his hands, there was really no need to come up with any conspiracy.
They rested here for a few days and were about to leave - they still had to find a human gathering place.
The short-haired woman was called An Jia. She came specially to say goodbye to Jiang Lin. Of course, within two days she found that the boss was still following her and others, and she didn’t find it strange.
I even felt a little relieved: since I met the boss, I haven't encountered even a single zombie along the way.
Jiang Lin followed these four humans and listened to their conversations over the past few days. He probably had a clear understanding of the current situation.
He always felt like he had something important to do, but he just couldn't remember it at all.
On this day, Jiang Lin, who was following the group of four, noticed that there were other humans several miles ahead.
The presence of humans shouldn't have caused him extra attention, but the aura of one of the people in that team made him instinctively feel disgusted and disliked.
