In cities that are uninhabited all year round, plants are overgrown.These creatures are already different from people's cognition, without any restraint, they grow at an astonishing speed.

Vines wrapped around the outer walls of the high-rise buildings, and huge trees broke through the roofs, growing toweringly, casting dark green sunlight on the ground.There are messy and lush weeds and blooming flowers on the side of the road, and a few birds are jumping on the old sofa.

Facing them were collapsed walls, piles of rubble and dust. Just looking at the dilapidated appearance of the streets, Xia Yinan could imagine what the city was like when it was prosperous.

It's just that no one is wandering in the most prosperous place, and maybe after a long time, the traces of their existence will disappear.

The decline of one side may not be the rise of another era. This is the place where vitality and death intersect.

The area they are responsible for is not far away and does not require any vehicles.At the safety gate in the distance, the roar of the engine came, and then an old-fashioned convertible off-road vehicle covered with sharp armor, ran over the ground menacingly, a row of sharp spikes pierced through those who blocked the road, and the wheels quickly drove them The body was swallowed, leaving only some stumps hanging from the spines.

Taking advantage of the spacious road, the soldier in the co-pilot's seat flipped onto the right side of the roof, frowning slightly, and in the face of the smell of corruption, he used a long scabbard to clean up the large residual limbs, and by the way, used his backhand The handle of the knife stabbed the zombie who had picked up the vehicle from the side.

After doing all this, he returned to the car again, flung the scabbard, and fixed it behind his back.

Stimulated by the sound of the vehicles, a large number of infected people chased them, but were quickly left behind.Taking advantage of the commotion, Xia Yinan and the others quietly clung to the building and headed towards the eighth district of Nancheng.There were also new wandering zombies on the road, whose necks were silently broken.

The process of reaching the eighth district was smooth, and they started to search from the end of the street.During the war, the residents here stored a large amount of food, and at the same time they used the military supply point in the city center, the food was still plentiful.

In the station on weekdays, the distribution of food is still cautious. Even ordinary soldiers, the portion they can receive is meager, let alone civilians, but at least they can support their lives.

Later, the vegetation in the city grew, and a large number of animals and plants dominated the ruins. They even made use of such resources to reduce the consumption of existing resources.

But there was no herd of beasts in the field of vision at the moment, and the heat sensor built into the exoskeleton did not send out any prompts, so they searched in the building first.

Most of the supplies are dusty cans, the kind that can be stored for decades.When Xia Yinan saw these things, he frowned slightly uncomfortably, and remembered the canned pork that he had eaten for several days when he was recuperating.

Those pork skins were turning green. Although the nurse claimed that they had been reprocessed and there was absolutely no harm, the strange color and taste still left him with lingering fears.Even if one day Li Shuo suddenly told him that the canned food was actually made of zombie meat, Xia Yinan probably wouldn't be too surprised.

The weight of the light exoskeleton is 55 kg to [-] kg, plus the body weight of the person. Xia Yinan walked through the dilapidated floors, every inch of the floor was giving out unwillingness, as if it was about to collapse in a second.

He picked up all kinds of materials that were scattered or hidden and put them in the storage space behind.

"Er Bei!" Suddenly Li Shuo's voice came, approaching.

This nickname has been followed into this world, but according to past experience, the body he is in often has the same name as himself.

Xia Yinan paused for a few seconds before looking down at the big hole at his feet that was blown out by something. Li Shuo was two floors below him, waving at him with great enthusiasm: "Look what I found!"

As soon as he threw it with his hand, the can was thrown vertically like a bullet exiting the chamber at high speed, making a sound of breaking wind.Xia Yinan stretched out his hand, grasped it firmly, and the armor on his hand collided with it, making a crisp sound.

The can has been deformed under the high-speed impact, but it is surprisingly strong and tenacious, and has not been damaged.Xia Yinan frowned: "How many times have I told you, don't throw things like this."

"What does it matter!" Li Shuo waved his hand, "Look at the label."

Then he jumped lightly, crossed the height of two floors, climbed up the edge of the hole with his hands, and turned up.

The original floor couldn't bear the force brought by the acceleration, it was directly shattered and fell to the next floor.The hole also groaned, expanded a lot, and the dust rose. Xia Yinan took a few steps back before it fell, and his head started to hurt again.

Immediately, inquiries from his teammates came from the voice channel, and Li Shuo simply replied a few words, then leaned over to Xia Yinan's side.The label on the can was already blurred, and it was even more distorted due to the deformation of the can, but it could still be seen that it said "shrimp".

Canned seafood was extremely rare during wartime, and now even if it is distributed at the station, it is often given to soldiers who have made contributions as a small benefit.

Li Shuo raised the big bag of canned food in his left hand, and wrapped Xia Yinan's shoulder with his right hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "What, this big bag is full of canned seafood."

Xia Yinan gently threw the can back into the big sack, shook off his hand on his shoulder calmly, and said, "It's good, go back and give it to them."

Li Shuo followed behind him: "You are still so boring, such a good thing, shouldn't you steal a few cans first. Our dinner hasn't been settled yet."

"Did you forget the compressed biscuits and cans distributed at the station?" Xia Yinan said, kneeling on the ground and looking under the bed, he found a cardboard box.

"That food is so unpalatable. The beans are so close to each other and stick together that they can't be separated." Li Shuo said leisurely, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, "We need enough calories. I can bear it if I eat poorly. , come out to do this kind of physical work, of course you have to treat yourself well."

Xia Yinan dragged the box out from under the bed: "You don't seem to have done any physical work yet."

"We need to prevent the future! Supernatural power consumes so much energy!" Li Shuo plausibly said, and leaned forward again, "Let me see, let me see, what good things are there?"

There was no food in the box, only three dolls, two big and one small.Coupled with the slightly pink color scheme of this room, the faded wallpaper full of little hearts is probably a little girl's.

"It's quite beautiful, and she will definitely be a little beauty in the future." Li Shuo turned his head and saw the photos on the desk, and praised him.

There are also some electronic devices on the desk, including the electronic diary that was very popular decades ago, but because there is no electricity, it cannot be opened at all.

In fact, such things that are completely driven by electricity are very rare now. Over the past twenty years of the end of the world, most of the things that can be used are powered by "faith".So the secrets of these things will never be seen again.

Xia Yinan ignored the box, continued to search, lifted the bedside table, and shook out a pile of dust and waste paper.Behind him, Li Shuo whistled, picked up the dolls casually, looked at them for a while, and seemed to be in a good mood and placed them on the dusty bed.

At this time, he still has the mind to do this kind of thing, which is no different from Li Shuo's usual idle appearance.

In the end, the doll was placed in the shape of a family of three, cuddling each other, the sunlight pouring in through the half-broken wall, lengthening the shadow, Xia Yinan couldn't see his expression clearly.

The loud noise from the ground collapse just now attracted the infected wandering in the tall building.This is the sixteenth floor, and the outer wall was severely damaged. The zombies on the lower floors wandered to the edge of the building, smelling the breath of the living through countless holes.

They started a long climb, but Xia Yinan and Li Shuo didn't care much - the wind on the outer wall was very strong, as long as they came together, they could be blown upside down and fall down one after another.

There were not many usable things in this room, Xia Yinan turned around to open the toilet door, when he heard a slight sound from behind the door.

He glanced at Li Shuo, Li Shuo shrugged and smiled, "Are you scared?"

Xia Yinan ignored the childish provocation and kicked the door open.The whole door flew out under this kick, pressing the things behind it against the wall.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the infected people buried under the door were roaring and struggling.In the next second, Li Shuo shot it in the head with a heavy-duty pistol, completely stopping the movement.

Xia Yinan walked into the toilet, looked at the clothes on the zombie, and at the photo on the desk, and said, "You just blew the head of the person you praised."

Li Shuo made a heartbroken look in unison.

They searched the upper and lower floors and killed a few zombies wandering here. By the afternoon, the loading capacity was about to reach the upper limit.Li Shuo even found a dried rose, which was specially treated and packed in a vacuum round glass ball. The bright red petals remained gorgeous until today.

Although this is not a survival item, if it is brought back to the station, there will still be a few soldiers willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.

Li Shuo held the glass ball in his hand and threw it as he walked.This time the mission was completed smoothly, and he will definitely be able to return to the underground before night. Xia Yinan's mood improved a lot, and for the first time, he said to him in a relaxed tone: "Who are you going to sell, or who are you going to give it to?" ?”

"Who knows." Li Shuo said, suddenly pulled him back, "Look."

They were standing on the edge of the twentieth floor, and the floors above were too damaged to go up.

There is a big hole in the wall here, most of the corridors are exposed, covered by twilight, half of the ghostly fire and half of the light red dome can be seen, and most of the cobweb-like streets in the southern city can be seen.

The wind swooped down from the black mountain peaks in the distance, bypassed the dilapidated ruins, blew the lush vegetation, whistling past them, as if filling the entire city.The sun was about to set, and half of the dangerous buildings in the distance became silhouettes, standing tall in the deserted city.

Looking at it this way, loneliness will arise spontaneously, as if there are only two of them in the world.

There was the sound of a can being opened behind him, and Li Shuo still opened the canned seafood he was thinking about.He walked to the extreme edge, sat down, and said with emotion: "Come here, this is really a good place to have dinner."

Xia Yinan hesitated for a moment, sat next to him, and took the freshly opened can.There was a puddle of muddy water in it, filled with whitish shrimps, and it smelled weird, as if disinfectant and engine oil were mixed together.

He was hesitating how to eat it. After all, the armor on his hand looked clean, but it was actually stained with brains and rot.Li Shuo next to him has already opened another can and poured it directly into his mouth.

After he finished chewing and swallowing, he turned his head and saw Xia Yinan's calm face, and the disgust that was not obvious in his eyes and was suppressed by his best efforts.Li Shuo said, "Hey, at this moment, you must be saying that I'm rude again. Eat it quickly, it's delicious."

He didn't care much about throwing the empty can downstairs, and hit the head of a zombie who was struggling to get up impartially, smashing it down the stairs after climbing the fifth floor, and a small dusty flower bloomed .

Xia Yinan remained silent, looking at the can in his hand, the water in it did not know what it was made of, and it shone with colorful lights in the sun, making him feel as if the four teletubbies had melted inside.

Originally, he should feel nauseous, but he has been in this world for a few months, and he can't feel anything when he's hungry.

The return flight in the evening is very important. Food can bring energy. After hesitating for a moment, he followed Li Shuo's example and poured the juice into his mouth together.

When he first tasted it, he felt that he was drinking preservatives. The shrimp meat tasted tasteless, it was almost soaked, and it was tasteless to chew.After finally waiting for his taste buds to become numb, he swallowed the water indiscriminately, which was regarded as having completed this difficult task.

Seeing his expression, Li Shuo laughed loudly: "Isn't it delicious?" He turned his head and coughed a few times, obviously the taste came back again.

Xia Yinan finally couldn't help it this time, and said, "How childish are you?" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a strong smell, and he endured it for a while before he didn't feel nauseous.

"This canning technology is still in place," Li Shuo said while coughing, "at least there will be no food poisoning."

The canned fish that was opened next tasted much better. At least when he tasted it, Xia Yinan clearly knew that it was a fish.There were two fish stacked on top of each other in the can, and the two held the fish tail and the fish head respectively, and ate up the meat that was loosely hanging from the fish bones.

Then the can was used by Li Shuo as a throwing weapon.He squinted his eyes halfway, aiming at the infected who were crawling over not far away.The can was clenched into a ball in his hand, and then, like a cannonball ejected, it cut off half of the zombie's waist and flew out.

Li Shuo whistled, and proudly embraced Xia Yinan: "How, handsome?"

Out of politeness, Xia Yinan hummed, and he became even more elated, talking nonsense, not caring at all about the flat reaction of his audience.

When he finally rested for a while, the afterglow made his side face look tough, concealing a lot of cynicism, barely looking like a warrior ready to fight to the death at any time.

Soon it was time to return, and the two went downstairs to join the others at the place where the team dispersed.Although I didn't encounter a herd of beasts today, the harvest was very rich.In addition to canned and compressed food, they found several bags of thick old clothes to wear in the winter to keep out the cold, or to make a thick layer to keep off the cold floor.

When the mountains in the distance swallowed most of the setting sun, they approached the security door.The communicator also sounded at this time, and the dispatcher's voice was clear and calm: "Squad 03, can you hear me? It's over."

"I can hear you, it's over." Li Shuo replied.

"Emergency situation, prisoner na073 is near you, the danger level is unarmed, please execute the pursuit immediately. Suggested action: Execution. Finished."

"Got it. It's over." The communication was cut off, and Li Shuo sighed, "I said that the prison built by the old men will be breached sooner or later. Those are all broken designs."

The specific coordinates of na073 have been displayed in the upper right corner of the line of sight, Li Shuo took the lead in walking in that direction, and patted Xia Yinan: "Let's go, don't delay until it's too late."

"Yeah." Xia Yinan nodded and followed.

His palms suddenly became sweaty, not because of nervousness, but because the hunt was about to begin.

Unlike those slow-moving carrion corpses, the other party is a living human being.Since he is a jailbreaker, there is no need to talk about morality and righteousness.At this moment, he doesn't even mind walking the streets at night.

The setting sun fell completely, and the world sank into darkness, as if falling into a dark abyss.Xia Yinan walked slowly in such a night, his footsteps were silent, but in the next second he was able to climb over the ruins and broken walls with lightning speed, hide himself, and move on.

The infected people around became frantic, and the carnival under the night was about to begin.With an elegant posture, he threw off these pursuers, and his steps became faster, as if some beast was awakened in his body.
