A hunting adventure [unlimited]

The next day, Du Yu placed the four corpses in the cave, took appropriate concealment measures, and left eye-catching marks at the entrance of the cave; he did the same for the six people who died before.

Zhou Lian stood aside and yawned, the corners of his mouth were bruised from the beating he had done yesterday.After he finished these, the other party asked: "Are you going to come back to pick them up?"

"If I can return alive, I will come and take away the bones here." Du Yu shook the spray paint can, and the can made a series of clanking sounds, and the bright red paint sprayed onto the rock, drawing a meaningless red symbol.

"Everyone is dead, it's not the same where the corpses are buried." Zhou Lian scratched his scalp and breathed out, "Besides, when we return, they will all be rotten to the bone."

"Well, but if your parents are still alive, even if you die, they will still want to keep your ashes." Du Yu put the lid on the spray paint can and put it back in the backpack. If you have children, it will be a consolation if you can bury your loved ones with your own hands."

He thought of the man who said he loved his daughter very much, and now he was lying in a dark and cold cave, he shouldn't have come.When Du Yu didn't notice, a photo fell out from the open zipper on the side of his bag.

"Oh, it's a good thing my parents are gone." Zhou Lian said, knelt down to pick up the photo, looked at it, and grinned, "This is your girlfriend?"

Du Yu turned his head in doubt, Zhou Lian flipped the photo to show him, "Is it?"

It was a photo of Du Wen, she was sitting on the bed holding a birthday cake, with a little cream on the tip of her nose; I don't know who helped her take the photo, the level is not bad, and it showed her own charm to the fullest.

Du Yu would never put a picture of Du Wen on his body, so there is a high probability that Du Wen put it himself; his sister is a weird person, so don't try to guess her intentions.

He wanted to snatch the photo back, but Zhou Lian raised his hand and commented: "Fuck, it's too on time, you boy is very lucky."

"No, you give it back to me." Du Yu spread his hands and said.

"Ah, isn't it a girlfriend? Is that a crush?" Zhou Lian raised his eyebrows and smiled maliciously.

Du Yu gave up and said, "She is my sister, if you like the photo, I will give it to you."

"Fuck." Zhou Lian glanced at him, then looked at the photo again, "Your genes are good, but you and her only have the lower half of the face. By the way, does she have a man?"

Du Yu: "For this kind of question, you'd better save your life and go back and ask her yourself."

"Enough!" Zhou Lian readily returned the photo to him, "You must introduce her to me when you go back."

Du Yu: "..."

Although he is a person who lacks feelings, every time he sincerely sympathizes with the man who fell in love with Du Wen.

***

Du Yu and Zhou Lian spent the morning sorting out the remaining supplies, weapons and ammunition. They decided to streamline their means of transportation and only drive an empty car. Considering that the destination was a desert, they brought enough food, medicine, and Several large boxes stuffed with guns and fuel.

The extra things were parked in a hidden bush together with the two cars that were not needed, and they would be retrieved later when there was a chance.

On a sunny afternoon, the green jungle was still as silent as night, and they set off again.

During the journey between the two of them, Du Yu talked more, so much that Zhou Lian couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect you to be quite cheerful."

"You mean to be talkative." Du Yu corrected his words.

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Lian held the steering wheel with one hand and threw the cigarette butt out of the window.

Du Yu looked at the thick tree trunks and the thin sunlight covering the sky outside, and said, "Since yesterday, it's been very quiet here."

Zhou Lian: "The primeval forest, can it not be quiet?"

"It's quiet without even the chirping of birds and insects," Du Yu said.

"Isn't it always like this?" Zhou Lian still didn't think there was anything wrong.

Du Yu: "The map shows that this is a low-altitude area with a subtropical semi-humid climate, which is different from a canyon."

"Fuck." Zhou Lian broke out in a cold sweat.

The canyon, including their previous activities, is located in the plateau area, the oxygen content in the air is low, and the birds and insects are almost extinct, so it is extremely quiet.But this forest was warm and humid, and there was not even a spider web in sight, let alone any signs of animal activity; it could only show that the ecological balance here had been disrupted, and all animals had disappeared.

Even in a city that has been ravaged by mutants, there will still be a small number of creatures surviving in the fringe corners, and there is no case of extinction of life.

Unless... it's in the infected area!Only areas where the original virus has spread can be so dead!

Zhou Lian's fingers controlling the steering wheel were sweating, and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"How should I put it, we can't get around this forest." Du Yu looked ahead and said flatly, "Assuming that there are primitive virus residues in the air here, we have been infected long ago, and there is no defense measure to stop it." Since we have lived to this day, it proves that the air here is safe, and we only need to be careful of plants. But no plant will put "Don't come here, I'm poisonous" on the leaves, so it's hard to guard against. "

"And I really didn't expect that you haven't noticed it all this time." Du Yu took out a black box from his luggage, and when he opened it, white air-conditioning came out slowly, and fifteen tubes of orange liquid stood still at the bottom of the shockproof box. The amount of serum antibodies in the secondary belt is enough for us to walk out of this forest alive, and you can drive forward as usual."

"Damn it! This old lady Greta is really willing to spend her money!" Zhou Lian struggled to explain, "If she hadn't been able to give birth to a child, I thought we were going to save her illegitimate daughter."

Du Yu was noncommittal, pressed the adjustment button to close the window, and took the lighter away.

"what are you doing?"

"Forest fire prevention is everyone's responsibility."

18 years ago, the original virus came to the earth in the form of powder. They were blown to every corner of the world like dandelions, entered the bodies of animals and plants to take root and germinated, or turned into spores of mushrooms, and more mixed in without a trace. stamens and honeycomb.

You don't know where they are, they are everywhere.

Touching, inhaling...any way can lead to infection.

Ordinary oxygen masks and protective clothing cannot effectively filter or isolate viruses at all, and today's conditions no longer have the resources and manpower to develop and produce advanced exploration equipment suitable for space exploration.

There may still be one or two good-quality exploration suits in the ruins of Pranvelin's headquarters, but who would dare to take them.

Then again, if someone hadn't invented and developed that set of advanced equipment, I am afraid that the expedition plan of the Dune would not have advanced so fast; without that expedition, would they not have faced the extinction of today? Disaster?

These questions may only be left to the gods to answer.

"Am I hallucinating?" Zhou Lian looked suspicious.

Du Yu: "What?"

"I heard someone talking."

Du Yu: "You may be tired and need to rest."

"No, someone is really talking!" Zhou Lian slapped the steering wheel vigorously in order to show his strength, "It's so noisy!"

During the mission, Du Yu had encountered sudden insanity among his teammates, but only after undergoing a major accident; Zhou Lian was certainly not in that situation, his irritable behavior was more like taking too much alcohol.

Du Yu wanted to say something, but Zhou Lian immediately raised his hand to tell him to shut up, and hissed, "...listen carefully."

It has been silent until there are faint sighs in the mysterious forest, as if someone is whispering in the ear.

It was definitely not the sound of the wind, and there was more than one sound, as if there were thousands of people hiding behind the tree and weeping, chattering endlessly, sad and angry.

Du Yu urged: "Hurry up, something is wrong here."

The wheels ran over dead branches and puddles, and the whisper of sighs and whispers became more and more clear.Then, from time to time, one or two dead trees scorched by fire would appear in the depths of the forest. The trunk was split by lightning from the middle, and the roots were charred; A warning sign with a machete scrawled on the moss-covered wood: "Keep away from the tree!"

The deeper they went, the more traces of human beings they found.

Ten kilometers after passing the warning sign, several abandoned campsites appeared one after another in the dense forest. The outdoor tents that were set up here many years ago were crushed by the fallen branches, and the materials still maintained bright colors; overturned pots and bowls Pots and grills, laundry that turned into trash, hiking boots, backpacks... It seemed as if the owner had just left for a while and never returned.

All the signs indicate that when the disaster happened that year, many people in this forest were carrying out collective activities such as hiking and mountaineering.

The vehicle drove slowly along the road. Du Yu carefully observed through the glass with a telescope. He found the pink children's camera and yellow raincoat buried in the grass, but he could not find the bones of the dead.

Where did those sounds come from?

Du Yu moved the camera to the tall and tall trees—the original virus rewrites the plant genes very gently, it does not change the appearance of the vegetation, and an infected tree is still a tree, and you cannot perceive its appearance. Change, it will not actively attack you, but once you accidentally touch it, the story is over.

The original virus retained the docile and gentle biological characteristics of plants, and only expanded their reproductive ability, allowing them to parasitize all flesh and blood, growing and expanding continuously.This kind of power close to the Creator is very creative, and can make plants and animals genetically recombined to give birth to alternative species.

Like making a normal tree grow a human mouth.

Its two shriveled lips are like fungi attached to the surface of the bark, and they are carefully opened, and a smaller mouth is sandwiched between the two rows of teeth.

Every tree here is covered with such dense mouths.

It is they who speak.

Those who died at the beginning stayed in this forest forever in this way.

Zhou Lian: "How is it? What did you see?"

Du Yu: "Don't ask, get out of here quickly."

They sped away as if fleeing for their lives to shake off the lingering sighs.

When the sun fell on the window again, and the warmth penetrated into the body, it was already 2 hours later.

The car drove into a peaceful and ordinary forest, and the stiff shoulders and arms of the two people unconsciously relaxed. Although nothing happened, they both felt lucky to survive the disaster.

"Hey, look—" Zhou Lian's eyes sparkled and focused directly in front of him.

Du Yu saw it.

It is a lake, hidden in the vast and deep forest, with luxuriant grass and dark green water; a small piece of land floats in the center of the lake, and a faded red brick house with faded walls is exposed among the branches on the island, revealing a dreamlike atmosphere. The beauty of tranquility and depth.

A kind of small purple flowers grow on the shore of the lake, covering the grass like scattered stars.

This is the place clearly marked on the map, called Hongta Lake, which is located at the border of the forest.

"Oh! We're going out soon!" Zhou Lian shouted excitedly.

Du Yu opened the road map, and according to the route plan, leave the forest and drive west for 2 days before entering the desert.

The author has something to say:

Oops, I haven't seen you again...

The next chapter will definitely... (._.)
