This spider forest is very large, as if it is the edge of time and space. The trees are lush and lush, and each tree is covered with dense and layered spider webs, as if a huge net is spread over the entire forest. Spiders that were larger than humans could be seen everywhere, with their eyes flashing with cold light, and their eight long legs stretched out, as if they were crossing a small hillside in one step. In this forest, although they did not attack the three of them, every time night fell, the gloomy eyes and spider figures crawling around always made people feel chilly.
Li Yishuang still has a deep fear of these giant spiders. Every night, she looked around nervously, her body shaking slightly, for fear that the spiders would suddenly attack them. Ye Ning also used his golden flame to create warmth for Li Yishuang, trying to give her a relatively safe space.
After nearly half a month of trekking, they finally walked out of this terrifying spider forest. When the sun shone on the earth again and fell on their tired bodies, the warmth and comfort seemed to be a gift from God, making them forget the fear behind them for a moment.
The Lion King continued to lead the way. After leaving the Spider Forest, there was a winding mountain road once built by humans. This asphalt road is surprisingly well preserved in this western continent. The three of them walked along this winding mountain road for more than half a month, and came to the boundary of these mountains, halfway up a mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, Lion King, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang stopped and looked at the ruins at the foot of the mountain. The city that was supposed to be a bustling city has become devastated after the fierce war between superpowers, and has lost its former glory.
In the distance, the skyscrapers that once stood tall in the sky are now like giants with broken waists, tilting and collapsing. Some of them are only half left, as if they were cut diagonally by huge scissors. The dust floating in the sky reflected the faint glow, giving the city a desolate tone. The originally crisscrossed streets and alleys are now intermittent, and the huge cracks on the road echo the destroyed buildings on both sides of the road, as if the mouth of hell is about to open.
The ruins of broken walls are scattered in an orderly manner all over the place, and some of the bricks and tiles still have semi-various murals or advertisements. Their existence has become a testimony to the city's past prosperity. Some large sculptures, which once served as symbols or monuments of the city, are now cut and broken, and lie there together with the rubble on the ground, which is distressing.
Traces that can be seen everywhere show that this city has been burned by fire attribute users, flood damage by water attribute users, walls torn by strong winds, and shocked by lightning. Every scar tells the story of battles fought again and again, and every piece of gravel records the vicissitudes of the city.
The whole city is immersed in deathly silence. That silence is not only in sound, but also in emotion. It tells the story of the past prosperity and the current depression of this land, the contrast between life and death, and the hope. Intertwined with loss.
Ye Ning and Li Yishuang stared at the destroyed city, their eyes showing deep thoughts and emotions. Every building and street in the ruins seems to be telling a story of the past, about prosperity, about disaster, about past life and destroyed hopes.
Suddenly, the voice of the Lion King broke the tranquility. He reminded in a serious tone: "You two, this is not only a ruined city, but also a forbidden land full of dangers. In the war of superpowers, not only buildings and The streets were destroyed, the nuclear power plants exploded during the war, and nuclear radiation has been leaked throughout the city."
"Those giant spiders encountered in the spider forest are creatures that mutated under the influence of radiation after the nuclear radiation was leaked. People in this city have either fled long ago, or they have become the dust of history. Now, this place is no longer suitable Inhabited by any life."
"If we pass through this city, we may be harmed by nuclear radiation. But if we take a detour, we will have to walk for more than a month. In this case, our journey will be even longer."
The Lion King's words caused the two of them to think deeply. They both knew how dangerous the ruins of the city ahead were. Once affected by the remaining nuclear radiation, the consequences will be disastrous. Before the laws of nature spread, even those with superpowers could not withstand nuclear radiation, let alone now?
Li Yishuang turned to look at Ye Ning with questioning eyes. And Ye Ning is
He frowned and stared at the cold ruins, feeling tangled in his heart. They need to save time, but above that, they pay more attention to the safety of their partners.
However, when they looked back at the destroyed city and saw the collapsed buildings, collapsed power towers, and the dead areas formed due to the failure of the nuclear power plant, they understood that the city was no longer suitable for living creatures. Those traces of life in the past were now only desolate, and that heavy oppression weighed on their hearts, as if even the air was filled with the breath of destruction.
"This ruins is like a sleeping giant," the Lion King said with heavy eyes. "We cannot predict its potential dangers. If we avoid it, although it will take an extra month to walk, at least we can ensure safety. If we force the crossing, It might save time, but who knows what dangers you might run into?"
Then, the Lion King turned his head and looked at Ye Ning and Li Yishuang, "It's up to you to decide whether to take a detour or not."
Ye Ning stared at the Lion King and asked curiously: "Have you ever set foot in these ruins?"
The Lion King shook his head slightly, with a trace of deep regret in his eyes. He replied: "Every time I come here, I choose to go around and never step into the ruins of this city."
Ye Ning did not stop questioning and continued to ask: "Then have you heard whether there are mutated animals infected by radiation in these ruins?"
The Lion King fell into deep thought and frowned slightly. He replied cautiously: "I have not heard any rumors about this matter. The power of radiation is destructive after all. It is hard to imagine that there are living things that can survive in such a harsh environment." Survive."
Ye Ning cast his eyes deeply towards the ruins of the city at the foot of the mountain. He stared at the ruins for a long time, as if he was measuring the time it would take to cross the ruins and the difficulties he might encounter, and he was also confirming this information. Finally, after thinking for a long time, he raised his head, his eyes shining with determination.
"This ruins are not big," Ye Ning said slowly, with a firm and strong voice, "I estimate that we can get out in three or four days. Although the radiation leaked from those nuclear power plants is very dangerous, in such a short period of time, the radiation The damage to our bodies should not be too severe. I have seen pictures and know what a nuclear power plant looks like. We can try to avoid those areas to avoid the impact of radiation. We still have to hurry up and hurry up. "
The Lion King listened quietly to Ye Ning's decision. He knew that the young man in front of him had super powers and unique human wisdom. The Lion King felt that human beings should be the most familiar with human architecture. So, the Lion King nodded and said firmly: "Okay, I'll do as you say. But we must always be vigilant and not be careless. If we encounter any danger, we will retreat immediately."
Ye Ning stood in front, with a serious and determined look on his face. He stared at the ruins of the city in front of him, recalling the various landmarks he observed on the mountainside. With his extraordinary memory and judgment, he chose a path that should have the least radiation and be the safest.
After they came down the mountain, the devastated scene was even more touching. The gray buildings, mottled walls, and scattered stones and steel look even more desolate and desolate in the sunlight. Those destroyed houses, collapsed bridges, and broken statues are like a warning, giving people a deeper understanding of the devastation of nuclear war.
There are all kinds of debris scattered on the ground, including tattered furniture, torn clothes and even rusty toys, etc., which have become witnesses of the once civilized society. These debris were scattered randomly in the wind, making it almost impossible to find a complete road to pass through.
However, Ye Ning did not stop because of this. He keenly searched for a wider place, moving lightly and flexibly among the gravel and garbage. Sometimes, he would stop and step lightly on the ground to determine whether the radiation conditions here were safe.
At the same time, Li Yishuang and Lion King followed closely behind. They did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and they were always vigilant and prepared to deal with any situation that might arise. The Lion King's eyes flashed with vigilance. He was constantly scanning the surroundings, highly nervous and ready to face any sudden danger.
As the sky gradually darkens, night falls quietly like a thick curtain. The stars are without light, the moon is obscured by thick clouds, and everything is surrounded by
Pitch black. The three of them, after walking for a day, found a relatively safe place among the desolate ruins - a small open space blocked by a broken wall.
Ye Ning and Li Yishuang waved the brooms in their hands and swept away the broken walls on the ground, revealing a relatively flat ground. This will be their temporary landing spot tonight. They took out the few remaining food from their backpacks and ate quietly. The sparse firelight reflected the shadow of exhaustion accumulated over the day on their faces.
After eating the food, they spread their sleeping bags on the ground and slowly lay down in the sleeping bags, while the lion king slept on the ground.
Even so, their hearts were still full of vigilance. They knew that in these ruins, danger could appear at any time, and they could not be careless in the slightest. Therefore, when night falls, although they lie in their sleeping bags, their ears are still erect, listening to the sounds around them quietly, their eyes are closed, but their hearts are vigilantly feeling the surrounding environment.
