The three of them were very inspired, and as soon as they entered the enchantment, they keenly felt an indescribable oppressive atmosphere.

It seems that there is a faint threat of omnipresence around it.

And this feeling gets stronger the deeper you enter the quarantine zone.

After a little thought, the three of them understood that there should be the presence of the skull virus in the air in the quarantine area, and the further they went inside, the higher the concentration.

It's just because of the barrier of the barrier that it didn't spread to the outside.

It's a horrible thing!

Because it means that the entire quarantine area has become a source of infection, and if it is an ordinary person, who does not have to do anything but breathe, there is a high risk that he will be directly infected with skull disease.

After realizing this, the three of them frowned slightly, their hearts were a little heavy, and they felt more and more that the task of their trip had become more and more arduous.

"Hoo ......"

After all, the mask of the protective suit was produced by the Nine Scientific Research Group, which seemed to be very effective in isolating the virus in the air, so that the three of them could breathe relatively fresh air.

At this time, none of the three of them spoke, and ran quickly on the provincial road, while vigilantly observing the surrounding Huang Jing and the situation.

The provincial road is completely empty and uninhabited, except for the occasional car left on the road, and the only thing that can be seen is the long asphalt road and the open spaces and crops on both sides of the road.

Zhou Yue'er retracted her gaze to the side of the road, and suddenly said loudly, "Look at those crops and trees next to you." ”

"What's wrong?"

Yu Shu and Chen Qingci looked at both sides of the road when they heard this.

It was the height of summer, and the plants should be at their best, and the roads should be lush and green.

But as far as the eye can see, almost all plants ...... The trees on the roadside, the crops and weeds in the fields were all slightly yellowed, and there was a faint sign that they were about to dry up and die.

And this sign has become more and more obvious as the three of them go deeper.

Yu Shu frowned tightly and said, "So...... The skull virus has the same effect on plants?"

"I don't know, Brother Wang didn't say it. ”

Chen Qingci shook his head and said, "It should be a new situation." ”

"Hmm. ”

Yu Shu nodded, agreeing with Chen Qingci's speculation, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about these for now, and continue to move forward according to the established plan." ”

The eight-kilometer distance took only a moment for the three men running at full speed.

The three of them did not encounter any emergencies along the way, and in the process of marching, Chen Qingci also took the time to teach Yu Shu the use of firearms and **.

"Smack!"

The three of them who were running at a rapid pace stopped in unison and looked up at the sign hanging on the pillar beside the road.

"This is it. ”

Yu Shu took out the map and looked down, and then said: "From here, get off the provincial road, go northwest, and walk directly through the crop field for about a kilometer, and it will be Lihe Village." ”

"Hmm. ”

Chen Qingci and Zhou Yue'er nodded lightly.

I only heard Zhou Yue'er say softly: "Although the road was smooth just now, from here on, we are likely to be attacked by skullists, so let's slow down our marching speed and be cautious." ”

"Yo, I can't see that I'm quite smart and thoughtful. ”

Yu Shu glanced at Zhou Yue'er and couldn't help but joke: "It seems that there are times when the saying goes wrong." ”

"What colloquialism?"

Zhou Yue'er was a little irritated by the oppressive atmosphere in the quarantine area, and was slightly stunned after hearing the words, and did not react for a while.

Yu Shu grinned, his eyes stayed on a key part of Zhou Yue'er's body for a moment, and then said shyly: "It's that idiom that is brainless when it's big." ”

“……”

Zhou Yue'er's pretty face under the mask was slightly red, and she couldn't help but glance at Yu Shu fiercely, and muttered, "Hooligan!"

"Female rascal!"

Not to be outdone, Yu Shu also glanced at Zhou Yue'er.

Zhou Yue'er was embarrassed, and she had the urge to beat Yu Shu up.

However, after such a fuss, the faint irritability that has always shrouded her heart has disappeared.

The three of them turned directly out of the provincial road and walked on a dirt road next to it that was not too obvious.

Passing through a clearing, crops gradually appeared on both sides.

As a city baby, the three of them couldn't recognize what was planted in the field next to them, but no matter what it was, they all looked like they were about to die.

At a glance, the boundless fields of crops are spreading withered yellow, inexplicably with a sense of desolation.

The dirt road was very narrow, so the three of them marched in columns, with Chen Qingci at the front, Zhou Yue'er in the middle, and Yu Shu at the end.

Walking on the path winding through the crop fields, the speed of the three of them also slowed down as planned.

There was silence in the spreading withered desolation, and apart from the occasional sound of the wind, the three of them could only hear their own gasps.

At this moment, I heard a terrifying roar suddenly coming from the nearby crops.

"Roar!"

Turning his head, he saw a humanoid figure leap out of the crop and rushed straight to the back of Yu Shu.

The figure's clothes were already in tatters, and the exposed skin was completely festering, as if it had been skinned, revealing the bright red muscles inside.

The face, which also looked like it had been skinned, only had a hideous expression, and the whites of the eyes in the pupils occupied most of it, flashing with a thirst for flesh and blood and a tyrannical madness for killing.

"It's a second-stage skell infected!"

Zhou Yue'er couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

At this time, the infected person had already pounced in front of Yu Shu, and his hideous and crazy face showed bloodthirsty excitement.

Yu Shu frowned and kicked out with lightning speed.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the infected flew upside down and fell headlong into the nearby crops.

But then, he jumped out again, lying on all fours like a beast, staring at the three of them with scarlet eyes.

It can be clearly seen that the muscles in his lower abdomen have flipped and twisted, but he seems to feel it at all, and his skinless face shows a more fierce and hideous look, and a "ho-ho" sound comes from his throat.

"It's just an ordinary person, but he can withstand the strength of my kick, and it doesn't affect it at all. ”

Yu Shu looked at the infected person and frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "After the second stage of the Skull Disease, the speed, strength, resistance to blows, and aggression have increased, and it seems that they are even stronger than those recorded in the data. ”

"It could also be because the skull virus is mutating again. ”

Zhou Yue'er's gaze was firmly locked on the infected, but she was disgusted by his skinned appearance, and couldn't help but say, "He has completely become a monster." ”

"For the time being, there is no treatment for infected people who have progressed to the second stage. ”

Chen Qingci said lightly: "Don't waste your spiritual power, give him a good time." ”

"Hmm. ”

Yu Shu nodded slightly, gently raised the muzzle of the 05-style ** in his hand, and aimed it at the infected person.

As if instinctively sensing the danger, the infected roared fiercely, but instead of attacking again, they were driven by instinct to take two steps back.

But...... The bloodthirsty aggressiveness made him not turn his head and leave directly, but just narrowed the distance between him and the three of them, staring at them with scarlet eyes in the distance.

The muzzle of the remnant was firmly aimed at the infected, and with a finger on the trigger, the bullet would shoot into his head in an instant with a slight pull.

But...... Yu Shu's finger was on the trigger, but he couldn't pull it down for a long time.

Chen Qingci and Zhou Yue'er both turned their heads to look at him.

But seeing that Yu Shu's face was full of entanglement and hesitation, after gritting his teeth slightly, he put down the muzzle of the gun directly, and smiled bitterly: "I...... Can't do it. ”
