After Wu Chan took a large amount of painkillers, he fell into a state of half sleep and half awake. The rest of the night went smoothly, there were no harassers at the door, and no miasma phenomena occurred.
Beep beep beep.
The car clock sounded a beep, which meant it was six o'clock in the morning, and the second most dangerous moment of the day was approaching.
After a while, the shelves began to tremble slightly and the dust vibrated. The zombies who had returned from the "night shift" in the new city had returned to the city. They were running on the streets and hiding in different buildings.
Because a large number of zombies will be eliminated by the waste incineration station and the defenders on the top of the Night Wall, the zombies' return to the old city is not one-tenth as strong as when they went to the new city, and the riots on the streets quickly subsided.
Wu Chan opened his eyes and felt a few zombies entering the store. The fact that the zombies were able to come back alive meant that the only work last night was digging under the wall of darkness all night long. At this time, their vigilance was greatly reduced. They turned a blind eye to the mess caused by the fighting in the store and the corpses on the ground. They found the darkest corner and fell asleep on the ground like dogs.
Wu Chan saw Chu Kuang from the car window. It turns out that he is not dead, and his head is really hard. Wu Chan watched Chu Kuang sneak up to the zombies and punch one to death. Two zombies bit back, and he tore their heads off as if to vent his anger, threw them to the ground and crushed them with his feet.
Tu Shuang came to see if Wu Chan was awake. When he saw that he was awake, he knocked on the car window.
"Come and eat."
"Okay, wait for me to get off." Wu Chan flipped the cab.
The iron kettle on the energy-releasing stove has boiled, and white steam is coming out of the spout. Xiao Song was distributing compressed biscuits to his teammates when he looked up and saw Wu Chan holding several cans of compressed meat jerky.
Wu Chan said: "Eat some meat to supplement it."
Experiencing life and death together will shorten the distance between people. Everyone took a can from Wu Chan's arms.
Pulling open the thin sharp iron sheet, there are ten pieces of dried meat stuffed in the jar. Simply put the dried meat on the fire and roast it twice to get the aroma. Tear it into pieces and put them in your mouth. The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.
Strictly speaking, people in the old city have no shortage of meat to eat. The forest landscape is teeming with wild animals, and hunting them is a piece of cake for those with super powers. Some naive people brought a large amount of meat from the old city and sold it in the new city, and ended up in jail.
The new city has very strict control over meat. Not to mention the meat from the old city, even the meat of animals in the wilderness around the new city is not allowed to appear on the market in the new city. New Town residents could only buy meat at the butcher shop opened by the city hall.
After Ma Sang finished eating the dried meat, he rinsed the tin can with boiling water, and the remaining fat turned into hot soup. He blew slowly, causing the soup noodles to crinkle.
"Brother Wu, do you still plan to go deeper?"
Wu Chan was a little surprised.
Last night, everyone saw with their own eyes how terrifying Tao Yan was. Her appearance shocked Wu Chan, who had always regarded the vampires as legends. However, Ma Mang gave Wu Chan the feeling that the people of Iron War Horse had known for a long time that there were vampires in the world.
"Have you ever fought against the vampires before?" Wu Chan asked.
"No." Ma Sang said. Although it was the truth, it was obvious that he was hiding something.
"I want to stay in the old city." Wu Chan said. If it hadn't been for the appearance of the soul chain, he would have parted ways with Iron War Horse after exchanging maps. At present, he has not got what he came to the old city to find, so he must stay. As for whether Iron War Horse will return to the city immediately or continue exploring, it has nothing to do with him.
"What should I do with your injuries?" Ma Sang said.
"It's okay." Wu Chan said.
"I know you are strong. If you were not injured, I would not stop you, but it is very dangerous for you to 'climb the mountain' in this situation." Ma Sang said.
Wu Chan was silent for two seconds.
"You've already guessed it."
"Yeah. You have no interest in loot, and you are particularly concerned about the location of tall buildings when exchanging maps. I can only think of this possibility." Ma Sang said.
Everyone else is confused.
"What's possible?" Xiao Song asked quickly.
"Can it be made public?" Ma Sang asked Wu Chan, who nodded.
"Brother Wu's real purpose in coming to the old city is to find something called the 'Hell Mandala'." Ma Sang said.
"What for?" Chu Kuang asked.
"Do you know why the scarlet sin cells are red? It's because the ingredients of Hell Mandala are mixed in during the processing." Ma Sang said.
"Sounds very rare." Tu Shuang said.
"This Hell Mandala has never been in Iron War Horse's business scope, and you have only been in the industry for a short time, so it is normal that you don't understand it. Hell Mandala is indeed rare, but not very rare. The reason why it is rare is that the flowering period is quite special, and only It will bloom after the corpse tide ends, and its survival time is less than a month," Ma Sang said.
"This thing... is also a product of corrupt fungi?" Tu Shuang asked.
"Yes." Ma Sang said, "They are the same type as those giant fungi on the roof. It's just that the giant fungi grow outside the roof, while the hell mandala grows on the inside. And they only grow on high buildings. On the top of the building, he was guarded by countless evil spirits. In order to get the hell mandala, the act of fighting all the way from the bottom of the building to the top of the building is called climbing the poisonous mountain. "
"It doesn't feel difficult." Chu Kuang said.
"You may be fine climbing Poisonous Mountain once, but what if you climb it ten times in a row? Braving the ghost gate and living there forever are two different things." Ma Sang said.
"Why do you have to climb so many times?" Chu Kuang asked.
"Because no one knows which high-rise building has the hell mandala blooming on the roof." Ma Sang said, "The people who pick the hell mandala are usually resource recovery teams with more than thirty people. More than a dozen people escort a picker all the way to the top, and if you're lucky enough to cut off a petal from Hell's Datura, you can make a fortune."
"Is a mere petal so valuable? I don't believe it." Chu Kuang said.
"The radius of the hell mandala is one meter long. Do you still think the petals are small?" Ma Sang paused, "However, I haven't actually collected it. I only heard the descriptions from my seniors. So, I have a question that I have been thinking about. It doesn’t make sense, and the seniors can’t explain it. Brother Wu, can you explain it?”
"You ask." Wu Chan said.
"Obviously thirty people climbed the Poison Mountain together, why didn't they pick the hell mandala together instead of setting up a separate picker?" Ma Sang asked.
"Actually, this is not a secret." Wu Zen said, "Entering the scope of the hell mandala will cause people to hallucinate and kill each other."
"Is it that simple?" Chu Kuang said.
Wu Chan's tone turned cold: "Believe me, you don't want to see those hallucinations in your life. In comparison, the hundreds of evil spirits on the mountain climbing road are not even dangerous."
Xiao Song was obviously frightened. He said weakly: "Brother Wu, you'd better go back and recover from your injuries first. Next time you come to the old city, you can pick that hell mandala. As long as a person is alive, money can't be made." of."
Wu Chan didn't answer.
The hell mandala only blooms after the corpse tide ends, and its survival time is less than a month.
If I don’t pick it this time, I’ll have to wait until December next time.
However, that will be Wuchan's deadline.
December 20th.
Zero past zero.
Wu Chan will die.
Before that, he must find the Hell Mandala.
Instead of picking off one petal, two petals...
Instead, the whole plant was pulled up!
