Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The temperature in the danger zone today is lower than that in the safe zone, and the perceived temperature is only about six or seven degrees at most. In addition, the forest is very humid, and the fallen leaves feel soft when you step on them, and there is a layer of moisture on the tree trunks.

"The danger zone today seems to be a little different from usual. Let's be careful." Gu Tongwan touched a birch tree in front of him with his fingers. The surface of the bark was still very moist. More importantly, water was still dripping from the leaves.

The further you go inside, the more you can smell a faint fragrance. This fragrance is not the scent of flowers or grass, but a special gas, more like a body odor.

"This fragrance... seems wrong, a bit like musk." Yan Fan is more sensitive to smells than Gu Tongwan, probably because he has superpowers in his body, and he subconsciously rejects and hates this smell. The most fundamental reason is probably that he can sense that this smell will gradually erode his body.

"Musk? Is it secreted by mutant animals?" Gu Tongwan raised his head and found that it had only been a day since he last came. The branches and leaves of the trees on both sides had basically completely blocked the sunlight above his head.

The growth rate of plants in the danger zone has exceeded normal. Gu Tongwan found a fir tree near a hill yesterday, with the mark she carved yesterday still on it.

If I remember correctly, the shrubs next to this fir tree were only ankle-high yesterday, but when I came here today, they were already knee-high, and the leaves were several times thicker than before.

This abnormal growth rate is unprecedented, as if the plants in the entire forest are growing infinitely.

"Sister Wanwan, look, the place where the white fog was before seems to be getting thicker and thicker, and the range is also larger than before."

"The place with white fog is the most dangerous. There was a lot of white fog in the Death Valley before, and if I remember correctly, the white fog was at least two hundred meters away from this location. But now it seems that the white fog has gradually spread to the danger zone." Gu Tongwan swung the folding stick that had been placed on his waist straight so that he could use it for self-defense if there was any problem.

"Sister Wanwan, how about I stay and dig mud with you today? I'm worried that if I go too far, something might happen to you." Yan Fan's gaze was now on the white fog a few hundred meters away, and he said with some concern.

"It's okay. This place won't be too dangerous for now. Tutu will come with me soon. As long as it's not an S-level mutant, I will naturally find a way to deal with it. Come back to me in two hours, and I will shovel the soil with you. In the afternoon, find a way to hunt a few mutants. Recently, I want to exchange some crystal cores. Since I'm here, I might as well give it a try. If I'm lucky, I might even be able to hunt a rare mutant."

Yan Fan saw that she looked relaxed and had also witnessed her strength. Although he still couldn't figure out Sister Wanwan's special abilities after spending several months with her, it was true that she had always been able to do unexpected things in the past few months. This unpredictable feeling was her most mysterious and also the most terrifying thing. Therefore, Yan Fan did not think that her strength was due to her ability to command two high-level mutant beasts, but rather something that she had always kept secret.

After Yan Fan left, Gu Tongwan immediately took out the "mini excavator.

Currently, the excavator has about three hours of usable time left and is expected to be used up tomorrow.

She was not idle while the excavator was working. She picked up the fallen trees a few dozen meters away and piled them in the same place, and then observed the surrounding environment.

Compared with before, the musky smell was stronger in places where the fog was thicker, and she also found many mutated Chinese herbal plants nearby, such as plantain, dandelion and some astragalus.

I have been to this direction several times before, but I didn't see these plants here. Could it be that they grew overnight?

If this is true, it would be amazing, and something must have happened in the forest to cause these plants to mutate so quickly.

After walking about ten meters forward, Gu Tongwan made another discovery. He saw some excrement similar to animal feces around a fir tree.

Judging from the size of the excrement, this should be a small mutant beast, and judging from its appearance, its hardness and softness should be within two hours, which means that this mutant beast is still active in this area.

Although she occasionally encountered some mutant beasts in the danger zone during the past few days, they all stayed away from her because of her situation. Except for some individual mutant beasts with more ferocious temperaments that wanted to attack her but were killed in return, she has not been in danger yet.

It seems that my luck might be good today. The mutant beast that can make the usually calm Tutu's hair stand on end and look as if facing a formidable enemy must be no simple beast. Maybe it is a species that has never appeared in the mutant beast encyclopedia.

But no matter what, she still had to be prepared in advance. Gu Tongwan's consciousness moved, and she took out a submachine gun directly from the space. The submachine gun had a fast shooting speed and could fire multiple bullets in succession, and its aftereffect was relatively not as great as that of the AK. She had used it several times before, and it could temporarily repel the mutant beasts in critical situations.

Because they had not found any trace of the mutant beast, they simply retreated back to the pit they were digging. Twenty minutes later, the excavator had dug a pit about one meter wide and several dozen centimeters deep.

They continued to take out the snakeskin bags to shovel the soil, while Tutu hung the branches to a centralized point within a few dozen meters around. The man and the dog had a clear division of labor.

After filling about six or seven sacks of soil, a sound similar to birds singing and a human baby crying was heard in front.

The sound was not loud, but it made people feel very uncomfortable, especially the intermittent sound similar to that of a baby crying, which immediately brought Gu Tongwan's memory back to the earthen building he had visited before in the deep forest, and the human corpse hanging upside down under the towering tree in the courtyard of the earthen building.

There is no need to be too curious about everything at any time, especially when one is weak and powerless like now. Gu Tongwan can only suppress his curiosity and continue to work.

After an hour and a half of work, ten bags of mud were finally shoveled away, and the mini excavator was put away in advance. Ten minutes later, Yan Fan also arrived, but at this time he was holding a creature with snow-white fur in his hand, which looked like a rabbit and a kitten. The fur was so long that it completely covered the animal's face.

"Sister Wanwan, guess what this thing is?" Yan Fan threw the creature to the ground as soon as he came up. The animal's limbs were pierced by ice cones and were bleeding, so it was temporarily unable to move.
