"Are you ready to go?"
Bai Qingyan asked a little excitedly as she watched Jiang Baiyu and the others pack up their things.
"Well, we're ready to go. Do you know the way?" Duan Tianwen asked.
"I see you have a compass. As long as you walk in the north direction, you won't go wrong!" Bai Qingyan patted her chest confidently.
Everyone smiled and set off towards the north.
The further they walked, the more Jiang Baiyu felt frightened.
Including Duan Tianwen.
Because gradually, they all discovered something was wrong with the nearby plants.
The cities in the south, after the apocalypse, are decadent and desolate after being destroyed.
But here in the north, there is a feeling that is closer to primitiveness.
The steel and concrete are almost invisible.
Instead, there is a huge variety of plants.
There are even huge animals.
Jiang Baiyu was a little surprised.
She wanted Duan Tianwen and the others to catch one of those giant rabbits.
But he was stopped by Bai Qingyan.
She said, "Did you see the sign on that rabbit? That belongs to the supervisor of District 5. It's best not to touch it."
"Do you have many areas here?" Jiang Baiyu was curious.
Bai Qingyan's eyes darkened and she shook her head: "The fifth district is the fifth district. My father said that he would rather provoke the Black Dog Gang than go against the fifth district."
As he spoke, Bai Qingyan's tone darkened.
"The Fifth District has annexed eight bases, two of which have tens of thousands of people."
After Jiang Baiyu heard this, he looked at Xie Mingtang in surprise.
"Approximately what area are they in?"
Since the animal they tagged is here, it shouldn't be far?
"About two hundred kilometers away, these rabbits are just good at running," Bai Qingyan explained.
Two hundred kilometers away...
Under the leadership of Bai Qingyan, they walked for a day.
When it got dark, Duan Tianwen said, "How long will it take?"
"Tomorrow at noon!" Bai Qingyan obviously remembered the way, "If we have rest tonight."
This place was already close to a place where human activities occurred, so Duan Tianwen and Jiang Baiyu unanimously decided to stay the night.
Jiang Baiyu and Xie Mingtang were still sleeping outside tonight.
It's just that Jiang Baiyu had a dream...
In her dream, she seemed to see a base being destroyed in the north.
She saw a person.
a man.
A boy, to be precise.
Jiang Baiyu heard the core voice.
"This is my child..."
"His name is Wei Lai..."
"The person who took him away had a problem with the base."
"Child, look at him now. I can only let you see where Wei Lai is now. I'm going to... fall asleep again..."
Jiang Baiyu looked at what Wei Lai went through as if from God's perspective.
The huge rabbit opened its mouth and swallowed the frog that was half a man tall in front of him.
Wei Lai stood behind the tree and watched quietly as the rabbit jumped up and onto a three-meter-high branch.
A flying insect fluttered past Wei Lai's ear. Its wings had sharp barbs and scratched Wei Lai's face.
The open wound healed very quickly.
He looked in the direction where the flying insects disappeared.
Huge trees and vines intertwined together, stretching to unknown heights. Everywhere you looked, there were weird plants and wet black soil.
Wei Lai forgot how he got here.
He glanced back in the direction of the rabbit just now and turned his head.
Tears fell from his colorful eyes and fell into the soil.
He walked forward, but he didn't see a small bud growing behind him where the tears fell.
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Lai walked to a collapsed wall. Behind the wall was a huge pyramid-shaped building.
He walked in and found that it was full of corpses, corpses that had been chewed to pieces.
Not far away, there were several zombies holding corpses, and the sound of flesh tearing reached his ears.
A zombie noticed Wei Lai.
It staggered towards Wei Lai.
Jiang Baiyu was horrified to see it.
This kid looks a little stupid!
Wei Lai looked around, saw a hole in the wall of the building, and climbed in.
The zombie, much taller than Wei Lai, was stuck at the entrance of the cave, waving his bone-baring arm at Wei Lai.
Wei Lai glanced at the zombies and walked inside.
Everything in the building was in pieces, and the original appearance could not be seen. The weak lights flickered on the original ceiling, and Wei Lai could barely see the road ahead.
There were corpses all along the way, some from zombies and some from other animals, but the most numerous ones were from humans.
Wei Lai didn't know what was happening here, so he was cautious all the way around the bodies on the ground, but he still accidentally stepped on a hand stretched out from under the cement board.
Wei Lai moved his feet and said apologetically: "I'm sorry."
"Is it... the executor..." A weak female voice came from behind the concrete slab, with joy in her tone.
Wei Lai didn't know what an enforcer was. He squatted down and tried to move the cement board, but his strength was too weak. No matter how hard he tried, the cement board would not move at all.
"I can't move it."
The suppressed person was silent for a while and let out a sigh.
She probably knew that Wei Lai was not the executor she expected.
Wei Lai squatted quietly in front of her. After a long time, the girl who was pressed down said: "You should leave quickly... go to the base in the northeast... you can still... still survive."
Her voice became weaker and weaker, and in the end, there was no sound of breathing at all.
Wei Lai wanted to stand up and leave, but he saw the girl's fingers stretching hard, trembling, and pointing in his direction.
Wei Lai looked at her for a while and saw that the girl's fingers were completely motionless. Then he stood up and left the girl.
He didn't know where to go.
But he felt that he should go to the base in the northeast that the girl said.
But what is a base?
The perspective suddenly changes.
Jiang Baiyu saw a tall man.
He had marks on his body that he had seen on rabbits before.
He must be someone from District 5.
Mo Jianshan swung his knife to cut off the head of a zombie that jumped at him, turned around and slashed a mutated wolf in half.
The rotten and smelly internal organs of the wolf were all over the floor. Mo Jianshan frowned and stood a little further away.
"Report! The zombies and mutated creatures have been cleaned up." Fang Ye took the record sheet and ran to Mo Jianshan to report.
"The 26 rescued humans are being tested for infection."
Mo Jianshan nodded: "Follow me."
"Is that your executive officer?" Xiao Wen, the enforcer who protected the rescued humans, asked Fang Ye.
Fang also nodded, his eyes full of admiration.
"Where is his supervisor?" Xiao Wen was curious.
Because of their special status and abilities, each executive officer has a status second only to the highest-ranking justice in the base.
So executives have a watcher who keeps them in check.
Fang also shook his head and said: "Our executive officer has not had a monitor since a long time ago."
