Doomsday Yuan

Chapter 178 The Illusion of Peace

The urban area in the early days, after the baptism of severe winter, is now showing the power of nature in the warmth of spring.

The lush vegetation seems to have popped up overnight. Those familiar buildings are covered with various vines, tall trees stand between the streets, and small shrubs are intertwined between the gaps, and even moss is multiplying. It is also more exaggerated than before the end of the world.All kinds of flowers are blooming, many small mutated creatures shuttle among them, and a few unknown birds fly in the sky from time to time, everything seems so natural and harmonious.

Looking at the beautiful scenery not far away with some sighs, Xu Song shook his head slightly: "It's really unexpected that after one winter, the city has turned into this."

Yue Zheng was also very emotional: "If people can adapt to this world and at the same time develop technology to protect the human base, this kind of life is also very good."

"Yes, it's so beautiful, but it's a bit dangerous." Xu Song smiled, he could clearly feel that there was almost no place where life didn't exist.They are ready to prey on other animals as their own food anytime and anywhere, but they may also be targeted by other animals and plants at any time.

The mutated rabbit jumped a few steps in the grass, lying on the side of a piece of green grass to eat, an unknown vine quietly stretched out its tentacles from the grass, and suddenly entangled the rabbit's leg.

A cold glow shot out from the rabbit's mouth, cutting off the dishonest vine, and the rest of the vine retracted instantly.But before the rabbit continued to eat, a delicate flower instantly wrapped the rabbit, wrapped tightly into the petals, and after a while, the things in the flower stopped struggling.

In the beautiful nature, this kind of predation and capture is everywhere.A new food chain is quietly forming.

Xu Song and the others walked lightly and walked towards their goal from the small path.With Xu Song's fire net and fire shield, the sneak attacking animals and plants shrank back honestly after suffering a small loss, and stopped doing anything to these two hard bones.

The little tree had already been released by the two of them at this time, and was swaying and twisting with its roots to follow behind the two of them.

"According to the current speed, we should be able to reach the first goal at four or five o'clock in the afternoon." Nowadays, the roads in the urban area are several times more difficult to walk, and there are weeds almost everywhere on the roads. They must find a way to clear the roads, otherwise Even if you find something, even if there is a car intact inside, I am afraid that you will not be able to drive it out.

Not to mention the originally destroyed roads in the urban area, even near the base, after the ice and snow melted, the roads that were cleared last year were instantly covered with various weeds.

Xu Song took a sip of water, nodded and said, "That's right, it's pretty fast." Yesterday, the two of them saw the satellite photos taken not long ago. In a whole set of high-altitude satellite photos, almost all the familiar rivers and rivers, except for the desert area, were completely covered. covered in green.This kind of dense green makes people hardly recognize the original topography. He thought that the urban area has become like a virgin forest, and now it seems that it is easy to walk.

Yue Zheng looked around: "Can you feel the bug swarm?"

Xu Song frowned and shook his head: "There are many in the sewer, and there are some scattered outside, but the number is very small... Why did they suddenly disappear?" Everyone in the base has heard of it, but now that they enter the urban area, they actually hide it?

"Maybe it's because of them." As he spoke, Yue Zheng raised his hand and pointed to a few hard-to-see small black dots in the sky.

"It's... migratory birds?!" Xu Song's eyes lit up, "They can suppress the insect tide in the city!"

There are many birds that eat insects. The greatest benefit of these migratory birds to humans is probably the suppression of insect infestation, right?

"It should be like this. The bugs are still there, but their actions have become more subtle. Coupled with the reproduction of these plants, the bugs don't necessarily have to climb to the ground to find food."

Xu Song first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again: "Then what shall we do next?" They wanted to point at the worm's crystal nucleus to upgrade its ability.Now that there are fewer bugs, is it possible that they will continue to hunt mutant animals as before?

Yue Zheng stomped his feet: "There are still underground. If you find the entrance to the sewer, you can still attract a lot." The speed at which insects multiply...it is impossible to kill them all.

"Not only sewers, but also subway lines, basements and other places." Xu Song also laughed, with himself and Tianyou around, these things are still easy to find, but a little more troublesome.

However, finding a sewer to lead these things out is better than facing the swarm of insects that filled the entire city back then.

After the two rested, they continued to sneak deep into the urban area, because their target was relatively small. Although they encountered some mutant animals and plants along the way, they did not have too much trouble.It was not until a few swallows who had come down to rest circled to the low altitude and found the traces of the two that a small-scale battle started.

Xu Song's rocket, Yue Zheng's long-distance space slash, and Xiaoshu's jujube core attack all controlled the time of this encounter to 6 minutes.

Taking out the crystal nucleus from the swallow's brain, Xu Song poked the fat swallow with a branch with some emotion, and said with emotion: "Tell me about you, you are obviously beneficial birds, why do you have to make trouble with people after the mutation?"

Yue Zheng picked up a few swallows that had drained their blood, and threw them to the little tree, and the little tree hung them all on their hair...ah no, they were on the branches.

"Can you stop hanging like this, it looks creepy." Xu Song poked the little tree again, and the little tree turned back to him in confusion, the dead swallow hanging on its head was at the same level as its crown Shake, shake.

Yue Zheng rubbed his hair with a smile: "Let it hang. When I rest later, I will take them out and put them into its tree hole after it dries."

This is the only way to do it, otherwise they will all be thrown into the tree hole...God knows if it will stink when it is taken out next time, the tree hole of a small tree has no fresh-keeping function.

After cleaning up the swallows, the journey of the two became relatively easier - the smell of blood from the swallows attracted the aggressive animals and plants in the vicinity to go to the place where they had just fought, but they didn't care about the two who set off again .

The white building is covered with ivy and moss, and the courtyard covered with various plants is silent.This is Xu Song's first target, a biological research institute in the suburbs.

There should be relatively new equipment here, as well as two off-road ambulances with instruments and equipment that were just purchased before the end of the world.

These are all good things, the problem now is to determine whether they are in good condition and whether they can be carried out.

Xu Song scanned around carefully, pointed to the small white building and said, "There are many living corpses inside...they are all nested in the corners now, not moving, I can't be sure whether they are living corpses or are occupied by animals and plants. people."

Xu Song can perceive living corpses, as well as animals and vegetative people, but without Tiancheng Tianyou's help to complete the information, he can't tell the difference between the two.

"What about the other things? What about the plants in the yard?"

"They're all mutated plants. I'm not sure if they will take the initiative to attack. There is a pigeon coop on the roof, and there is a group of mutated mice in the east corner of the yard. None of them are the biggest ones, but it is very likely that they all have mutated mice." able."

Yue Zheng remembered the locations of the creatures that may have attack intentions pointed out by Xu Song, and then he ordered to the small tree behind him: "Throw a few dates at the plant in front."

The canopy of the small tree charged, "Puff puff puff", several blue and red dates flew in that direction.

Not long after, there were some commotions in the yard—the mutated mouse raised its head and stared at the grass that had just moved; at the window, through the gap between the dense creepers, there were black shadows moving behind the window; the roots of several plants Stretching in that direction quietly...

With a "swipe", a black knife light flashed, and the mutant mouse felt that his beard and the plants in front of him were missing a section.

"Huhu..." the white flame ignited, and the seemingly peaceful flame made the nearby vegetation feel the breath of death, and they panicked to get out of the way.The frightened mutated mice quickly escaped from the opening in the wall, and most of the plants shrank their bodies, unwilling to be enemies of these two humans whose supernatural powers were clearly aimed at them. Three figures attacked the two of them.

living corpse.

Seeing the three "human" figures, Xu Song and Yue Zheng instantly recognized them. They were neither animal nor vegetable, but living corpses shrouded in black air.

But these three living corpses were obviously different from the ones they encountered earlier, with pitch-black skin, white eyes, and mummy-like skin, but their movements were more flexible, faster, and surprisingly fast.

Yue Zheng stepped forward to meet him, Xu Song condensed the white flames into a big net, and rushed in another direction...

"Their movements have become faster, and their strength has also become stronger. The strength of their claws can almost tear the steel plate." The battle ended a little slower than expected, which made Yue Zheng look a little dignified.

Just as Xu Song was about to speak, he suddenly pointed in the direction of the small building in front of him: "The others escaped from behind!"

There was the sound of glass breaking from the back of the house, and several other living corpses in the house quickly escaped through the gap.

"Wait, it's daytime now! They can come out!" Xu Song suddenly realized something, raised his head, and looked at the blue sky.

The living corpses were afraid of the sun, at least at first, and the living corpses the two met later, those weird black fogs, sometimes hid in the shadows that the sun couldn't reach during the day.But the three living corpses that had just died in the hands of the two rushed out facing the sun.The same goes for the ones that escaped at the back of the house...

"Perhaps at the same time as the evolution of human supernatural powers, their abilities are also evolving." Yue Zheng's brows were tightened, "Not only have their strength increased, their movements have become more flexible, and they can even move in the sun..." This kind of Things are getting harder and harder to deal with.

Xu Song looked at him: "Talk to the base after you go back."

Yue Zheng nodded, and looked at the small building in front of him that was completely covered in green: "Now, let's go in and see if the equipment is still there."
