Why are you sure this is Songshan?
The reason is very simple. Zhang Xu stood next to a cave at a height of almost 500 meters above sea level. This is a wind-eroded cave in the Tianshan Mountains. There are vast woods underneath. A large number of mutated creatures can be seen living in it. He sighed again and shook his head helplessly. .
Surrounded by rolling mountains, the only possibility is the Songshan Mountain near Zhengzhou Base, and the rest are vast plains.
"It's true that we have just stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den..." Zhang Xu said this, but his eyes were calm from beginning to end. As long as he escaped from here, the new and old debts in the future would be settled together.
Zhang Xu didn't have any maps, but he had a military kettle with a small compass embedded in it. However, the magnetic field seemed to be a bit strong at the moment, making it spin constantly and unable to determine the direction.
Sure enough, it is common to get lost in the mountains. Once you don't adapt to survival, you can easily die in this uninhabited mountain. Zhang Xu is even more distressed because he has nothing now.
Everything is in the quantum device, and igniting it is definitely a recipe for death. Unless the mutant creatures in that territory are killed, the cooked food can be eaten, otherwise the thick smoke will only attract the mutant creatures.
At the moment, Zhang Xu was almost unable to hunt mutant creatures. Judging from his dull breathing, his condition had become worse. The Crystal of Hope he had just taken seemed to have been wasted and had no effect at all.
He knew his own weakness best, and Zhang Xu didn't know the reason. He only knew that his strength was losing.
Zhang Xu used the brand new dagger on his waist to test his skin. It was still very tough. It was difficult for the knife to penetrate the surface of the skin. It was obviously not a decrease in genetic level, but simply weakness.
Checked the personal equipment, a dagger, two special fighting knives, a military water bottle, 36 Hope Crystals and the plastic bottles containing them, a mini magnesium rod and a Moby fuel lighter, only 5 rounds bullets for the QSZ130s-36 pistol.
Sighing again, Zhang Xu knew that his situation was not optimistic, and it was very likely that he would not be able to get out of this pine mountain at all.
Songshan is huge, and Zhang Xu is not sure whether he is in the hinterland or on the edge. He does not have a quantum device and cannot use satellite positioning. Blindly walking around will only increase the risk factor.
He didn't dare to go back. If Joseph was ambushed inside, he would really be on the verge of tears. But fortunately, the undercurrent was very chaotic, and the dozens of people behind him probably wouldn't be able to find this place.
Just as he was daydreaming, Zhang Xu suddenly felt a wave of heat coming from him!
A fireball the size of a washbasin came towards the face, blooming with dazzling brilliance in the humid mountain wilderness.
After ducking sideways to avoid the fireball, Zhang Xu looked up and saw a young man with blond curly hair. Zhang Xu's brows were tense and he looked unhappy.
There is no doubt that Joseph is extremely disgusting to Zhang Xu, as if he will not disappear unless he dies.
"The ghost is still here!" Zhang Xu's tone was a little cold, and his eyes were as sharp as two sharp swords.
"Haha, it's obviously me who came out, Zhang Xu, come and accept your fate!" Before he could finish speaking, Joseph had already started to take action. His figure flew past quickly, like an eagle swooping down from a high rock.
Zhang Xu didn't fight back, he just turned around and ran away, with no intention of having a fight with Joseph. This was halfway up the mountain, and Zhang Xu would always have the upper hand on land.
If Zhang Xu really had to tangle with Joseph, and the latter instead used his flame ability to distance himself, then why was Joseph so bold and dared to challenge Zhang Xu?
Because there are dozens of evolvers ambushing Zhang Xu around!
Yes, according to Gray Worm's ability, they have found Joseph and laid an ambush here, waiting for Zhang Xu to come out.
Zhang Xu also suffered some injuries, so he chose to stay in the cave to recuperate. During this time, Joseph and his group had almost come out.
Of course, there are also the evolvers who fell behind due to undercurrents at the beginning. Although Joseph is the leader of the team, they are not going to look for these lost people. Whether they live or die depends on their own destiny.
It was obvious that Zhang Xu had fallen into this trap from the very beginning. Other evolvers were closing in step by step, forming a large encirclement that firmly locked Zhang Xu's movements.
It's a pity that although Zhang Xu is weak and weak due to heat, he is not the target of those hunters. He has made up his mind to take money at the risk of his life. The road is their choice, so Zhang Xu will send these people where they should go!
"You really dare to come! Take your money and put it into the coffin!" Zhang Xu's sharp eyes were directed at everyone, and his aura was unified.
There were only 4 evolvers in front of him. Although he could not see the level of gene unlocking, he could judge who was confident or not just by looking at them!
Competent people tend to be more confident!
Of course, Zhang Xu didn't want to waste too much time with this group of people. He unfolded his two bone swords, and the black sword blade slashed down, slicing a middle-aged man who was caught off guard. His eyes widened with a look of astonishment on his face. He was obviously very dangerous. Back then, why was he the target of the attack?
With some doubts, he fell unconscious from then on. Half of his body fell to the ground and rolled down the mountain quickly, leaving a long blood trail.
This move frightened everyone. Joseph had tried his best to encourage everyone before, saying that Zhang Xu was seriously injured by him, and now he killed one person in a single encounter. This was obviously a lively move. Most of these people were only interested in profit, and they were not fools who only risked their lives for money. !
Joseph did not deceive the people.
Obviously, Joseph also looked hesitant. He had indeed injured Zhang Xu before. According to the undercurrent, they fought with each other more than ten times, and Zhang Xu was more or less injured, and his recovery ability gradually deteriorated. , this is all witnessed by Joseph.
Zhang Xu's energy has been consumed to a large extent. It is impossible to recover in such a short period of time, and it is impossible to have genetic medicine to replenish it. The demand for these amounts is too much. Joseph also knows that he does not have much energy, but why Zhang Xu Can it still be so fierce?
Is the gap really so big at level 16?
They couldn't even imagine that someone would bring a bottle of Hope Crystal to replenish energy. Others might turn into zombies if they ate it. Zhang Xu was no different from eating candy. With such an almost cheating behavior, who could Can you guess it? !
"Come here if you don't want to die!" Zhang Xu said, turned around and left.
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, but they didn't dare to take action. They didn't dare to take action and could only watch Zhang Xu's back go away.
Joseph gritted his teeth. He knew that he could no longer order this group of people. Zhang Xu's method of strangling one person in a short time was enough to show how dangerous he was. How could others dare to go up and die.
They are rational. Even if they go back and are punished by the base, no one dares to challenge the man in the distance again!
"Grey Worm, let's go! Let's chase!" Joseph snorted coldly. His momentum was not much weaker than Zhang Xu's before. It was as biting as the cold wind, causing those who were dissatisfied with him to lose their momentum in an instant. It was obvious that he was not interested in Zhang Xu. The body still holds the idea that it will win.
The two sides have reached this point, and there is no room for retreat. When the undercurrent attempts to kill Zhang Xu, it is already a fight to the death.
——
A huge green-brown lizard fell to the ground, leaving large sticky blood stains on the emerald green pine needles. Judging from its appearance, it was a skink, but it was nearly 4 meters long and became abnormal. Fierce, he is the overlord in this forest.
Zhang Xu sat on the floor, his breathing becoming rapid. The surrounding environment was too dangerous, and he had to observe all the disturbances at all times.
This was by a small stream not far from Joseph. It was drinking water here just now, and happened to meet Zhang Xu who was walking along the river.
Facing the invaders in this area is a great provocation for the mutated creatures. A fierce battle is about to break out, and the winner is Zhang Xu
After removing the Crystal of Hope, he took it immediately. Zhang Xu cut off some pieces of meat to use as food, washed them with water, and then placed them in a plastic container containing the Crystal of Hope.
The smell of blood here is too strong. Even if it is the overlord here, it will still attract other bold creatures to come to check, and soon this place will become an open-air feast.
Walking out along the river is the easiest, and the risk associated with it is also the greatest. The place where mutated creatures gather makes Zhang Xu dare not be so reckless.
One or two mutated creatures may not be a problem, but if a high-level creature pops out from somewhere, in his current state, Zhang Xu will not be able to run away. The most unfortunate result will be to encounter the Ape King and the Ape King.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Xu still gave up walking along the river, but he didn't go too far away. There was only a gap of a few hundred meters. Generally speaking, it would be fine if he didn't bump into any creature that happened to come to the river.
——
At this moment, countless mutated creatures swarmed in, completely covering the dead bodies in front of them. Each creature was stained with green blood on half of its body and feasted on it. There were also some scavenging birds in the sky waiting for the beasts on the ground to eat the leftovers. They were hovering patiently. .
Nature never lacks clean hands, especially now. As long as the smell of blood spreads for a few minutes, it is guaranteed to usher in a large number of creatures to work for this free lunch.
"Huh! Let's go!" Joseph looked at the corpse lying in the distance from a distance.
It was confirmed by Gray Worm's parasite that it was a stone dragon.
Mutated organisms will preferentially eat Hope Crystals of the same kind. This seems to be innate, but in fact it is the virus in the body that 'tells' the host the benefits of this crystal, making the Hope Crystal full of temptation.
If it were really a crystal taken out by a mutated creature, the skink's head might have been taken away by these barbaric creatures. Now it seems that the head is intact, which means there is no crystal.
Although it cannot be judged from the wounds how it died, judging from the clues left after the surrounding battles, they are human footprints. Various signs indicate that Zhang Xu has been here.
There was not much change on Joseph's face, but the gloomy and uncertain eyes showed that he was in a bad mood. Gray Worm was wise and did not speak, and followed Joseph's pace throughout the whole process.
——
Two figures wandered between the trees. They moved easily, and even though there were so many mutant creatures, they were not too dangerous.
"If my previous guess was correct, this Zhang Xu should keep a certain distance and walk along the river, but I still can't find him..." Gray Worm was a little annoyed. After all, a mere evolver was playing tricks on the two of them.
"It's okay, we have reached the foot of the mountain. Since he refuses to come out, then force him out!" A sharp cold light flashed in Joseph's eyes. He chuckled, and the fireball in his hand gradually grew larger.
His purpose is obvious, that is to set the mountain on fire!
