After 30 years of afforestation, I became a star with one punch

Chapter 117 Looking for (Part [-])

In the year 2030 of the Xuanhuang calendar, as the animal tide crisis was jointly resolved by various countries, the world returned to peace again.

However, I don't know when it started, there has been an archaeological boom all over the world.

Suddenly, the once inaccessible area suddenly became lively.

Whether it is a mountain or a basin, whether it is a snowfield or a jungle, or even the deep sea and the ground, human footprints have appeared in all of them.

Even many places have been turned upside down by all kinds of people.

Dashan Empire, Black Maple City.

Midsummer has just passed, and early autumn has not yet arrived, and there is still a trace of scorching heat in the air.

A group of men and women wearing classic adventurer suits and carrying large travel bags are hiking in a basin full of weeds and shrubs.

"Third Brother, Uncle Seven is telling the truth?"

"Is there really an ancient ruin here? Why doesn't it look like it to me?"

A young man with a medium build and ordinary appearance, except for a pair of very flexible eyes, looked around, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his doubts.

This place where you can see the head at a glance doesn't look like a place where you can hide the ruins, right?

Even if it's underground, there must be an entrance.

But they have already circled the area four times and used various instruments, but they haven't found even a single hair.

Except for sweating, he didn't get anything, and Liu Chengkang was not to blame for complaining.

"Uncle Qi will not lie to me!" Wei Sanjiang glanced at Liu Chengkang, and then said: "Look carefully!"

"There must be some. That is the treasure map that Uncle Qi dug out from the foundation of our family's ancestral house. It must be true!"

Liu Chengkang hesitated to speak, but finally endured it.

What treasure map? !
Just a pair of rags eaten by insects!

If Wei Sanjiang's seventh uncle hadn't said it was a treasure map, Liu Chengkang would have thought it was a torn rag on the table.

That is why Wei Sanjiang believed that it was a treasure map. Liu Chengkang felt that in the whole team, except for Wei Sanjiang, no one really believed it.

It's just that Wei Sanjiang is the boss and the strongest among them, reaching the level of a senior martial artist, so everyone dares to doubt him and dare not say anything.

Not long after, a group of people circled around the basin again.

Still didn't see a single hair.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wei Sanjiang decided to find a place to camp.

In fact, according to everyone's wishes, we can go back.

This place is not far from the city, and the nearest Black Maple City is only a dozen kilometers away.

With such a short distance, this place can even be defined as a suburb of Heifeng City.

Just such a place has been visited by thousands of people, so there might be some ancient ruins somewhere.

But after thinking about it, no one raised any doubts.

The right is to take a rest.

Recently, in order to explore the ruins and search for treasures, they are indeed tired.

So, a group of people found a small mound in the leeward direction and started camping.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to eat. Wei Sanjiang looked at the number of people and said in surprise, "Hey? Where's Zhang Chengdong?"

When Wei Sanjiang asked such a question, Liu Chengkang and others discovered that Zhang Chengdong was not there.

"I saw him just now, and he said to pick up some dead branches over there."

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

Liu Chengkang said, pointing to the dark southeast direction.

"Oh." Wei Sanjiang nodded, "Don't worry about him, let's eat first."

When it was time to eat, he still ran out. Wei Sanjiang decided to teach him a little "lesson" by letting him drink the leftover soup.

A group of people started eating, and after a few minutes, there was only soup left.

But at this time, Zhang Chengdong still didn't come back.

"Is something wrong?" One person said with a little worry.

"Shouldn't it? There are no mutant beasts around here."

Another humane.

This place is very close to the city. As early as a few years ago, when the mutated animals first appeared, they were wiped out by the army more than once.

After the beast tide broke out, it was wiped out by the army and hunters more than once.

Not to mention mutant animals, now I can't even see a normal animal.

They went around five times before, and the bugs were rare.

In fact, not only here, but in many places, animals are no longer seen.

The reason is very simple. The outbreak of the beast horde has greatly increased the sense of crisis of human beings.

Although the animal horde crisis has been resolved now, there are still troops or hunters to clear up places where mutated animals may gather.

It can be said that it is very difficult to see wild animals in other places in the world except for some deliberately reserved large ecological parks.

Since Zhang Chengdong couldn't have been attacked by a mutated animal, why hasn't he come back yet?

Several people looked at me and I looked at you, and finally decided to look for it.

However, after searching around, there was no trace of Zhang Chengdong.

Weird.

Everyone gathered together, their eyes were a little weird.

At this moment, Wei Sanjiang's eyes suddenly changed, and he found that there was another one missing!
"Akang, where is Wang Yanjie?!"

"Ah? Isn't Ajie next to me?"

Liu Chengkang was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look, his face suddenly changed.

There is no one around him!
"He was still following me just now!"

"Just two steps away!"

There was a trace of panic in Liu Chengkang's expression.

Wei Sanjiang's face darkened.

Inexplicably lost two team members, especially Wang Yanjie, and the disappearance was even more strange.

"Third brother, what should we do now?" Liu Chengkang turned his head and looked around.

Except for their small area, it was completely dark all around.

It was surprisingly quiet in the darkness, not even a bug chirped.

This increased the panic in his heart.

"Fire flares."

Wei Sanjiang thought for a while and said.

"Yes! Yes! Flares!"

One person said and quickly took out the flare in his backpack.

Whoosh! !

The flare was lifted into the air, exploded, and the light instantly filled the surroundings.

Taking advantage of this brief light, Wei Sanjiang looked around.

Everything around is business as usual.

But for some reason, Wei Sanjiang felt strange in his heart when looking at this normal scene.

It always feels like there is something more.

Soon, the flares went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

At the moment of falling into darkness, Wei Sanjiang suddenly felt a great sense of terror in his heart.

Whoosh!
A flare was fired from Wei Sanjiang's hand.

Light spreads all around again.

Wei Sanjiang's face suddenly changed drastically, he suddenly took out his pistol, and shot a few times in the direction of Liu Chengkang.

Liu Chengkang was stunned.

Why did the third brother suddenly shoot him?
Boom boom boom!
A small explosion sounded not far behind Liu Chengkang.

This was the sound when the special explosive bomb Wei Sanjiang bought at a high price from a semi-official arms dealer exploded.

Because of the emergence of mutated animals and the outbreak of beasts, countries around the world are not as strict as they used to be about gun management.

Of course, in cities and towns, except for a few special circumstances, guns are still prohibited most of the time.

The heat wave formed by the explosion blew Liu Chengkang's windbreaker, making a grinning sound.

"Come here quickly! Everyone back to back!"

Wei Sanjiang shouted loudly.

Liu Chengkang and others hurriedly gathered beside Wei Sanjiang, facing back to back.

Under the light of the searchlight above his head, only then did Liu Chengkang realize what was behind him just now!
It was a serpentine creature, but it had a terrifyingly large mouth full of tiny fangs.

At this moment, its body was scorched black, and it was writhing on the ground, looking in pain.

But obviously, it was not fatally injured!

This is evident from the way it twists and tries to raise its head and attack them.
