On the way to Thunderstorm City-

The off-road vehicle seems to have entered a desert with no people, although the road is no longer as rugged and bumpy as before, but on this straight road, it is like a desolate desert, the wind and sand blow, forming a small tornado, sweeping up some of the dry and dead grass piles.

"Wow...... This environment is really bad enough, and there is no place to stay halfway?! What should I do if the water is cut off? And there are so many of us. Nicole asked worriedly, looking at the dry scenery outside the car window.

I saw Lloyd smile, pointed to the back of the domineering off-road vehicle, and said, "Don't worry, you see that this water is abundant." ”

Nicole looked into the back of the car and saw three barrels of mineral water standing there, and Nicole was relieved.

"Big Brother Lloyd has already told me to prepare enough food and water, and this car is really big enough! It's amazing how much it can hold! Xiao Zhang said excitedly while driving the car.

"How far is it from the Forest of Death?" Kathu sat in the passenger seat, looking at a map in his hand, looking at the endless desert road ahead.

"At our speed, it's about half an hour." Xiao Zhang was already a little nervous and said.

"Do you have to go through this Forest of Death to go to Thunderstorm City? Although I have heard of the horrors of this forest...... But I really want to check it out! Nicole said excitedly and nervously.

"Miss-Nicole, have you forgotten what we're here for?" Townsend reminded him that in fact, Townsend was even more excited and excited than Nicole, because jungle exploration and biochemical research were his strongest strengths.

"Humph!" Nicole ignored Townson, holding her chin in one hand and looking out the window at the vast desert.

More than ten minutes later, Xiao Zhang stopped at a fork in the road, because he didn't know whether to go left or right.

"Xiao Zhang, aren't you very familiar with the roads in these places?" Kathu asked.

"This ...... Although I haven't been here for a while, I still recognize my way. I wonder why there is an extra fork in the road now!? Xiao Zhang said as he got out of the car and looked for any guide signs.

Everyone got out of the car and looked for it together to see if there were any signs.

At the fork in the road, there is an old wooden street sign, which is vaguely carved with an arrow pointing to the road on the right.

On the road on the left, there are tire prints that are hidden by the wind and sand, but are still faintly visible.

Tang Sen looked at the prompts left and right, and felt that there must be something strange.

Nicole walked over to the old wooden sign, looked at the sign in front of her, and noticed that its roots were a little loose on the ground.

"I think since there are tire prints on this car, then it proves that there is a car in front of us, so we should go directly behind the people, so it's right!" Xiao Zhang looked at the tire print without thinking and said.

Tang Sen shook his head and said mysteriously: "That's not necessarily, if it's a smoke bomb left by the enemy, they can completely dispose of their own traces, and then let their subordinates drive to the other side, leaving tire prints to mislead us." ”

Katu also nodded approvingly, feeling that Tang Sen's analysis was very reasonable.

Lloyd stood at the fork in the road and smiled with a sigh, life always has to make choices at such a fork.

Seeing Lloyd's smile, Ni went over and asked, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

Lloyd looked up at the sky and felt how small humanity seemed in the vastness of the earth. There were several eagles hovering in the sky, and then they flew to the right. and a few vultures, but flying to the left.

"I think I know which way to go. Look at ......," Lloyd pointed to the eagles and vultures in the sky.

"Eagles usually forage in canyons and tend to hunt in wide, flat areas, and the complex branches of the jungle can affect their predation. But the vulture has a big disadvantage, that is, its beak is very soft, and it is difficult to bite the relatively fresh muscle tissue of the animal, so in order to survive, the vulture will eat the decaying carcass. Townsend, who is extremely knowledgeable about biology, explained excitedly. Because it is true that through this you can already tell where to go.

"Yes, although vultures often soar over the open and bare mountains and plains, peeking at dead animals, there must be a lack of food in such places, and they can only eat carrion, so they are likely to fly in the direction of the forest if they are hungry." Lloyd looked at the animals flying in the sky and added.

"Lloyd is right, in addition to this, I also found that this arrow has only been carved recently, and the notch on it is still fresh. And on the back of this old street sign, there is an engraved arrow, which is already blurred. As she spoke, Nicole asked Townsend to come over and pull out the sign, reversed the front and back, and pierced it back, and sure enough, the original arrow pointed to the left.

"If they are all going to the left, then why does the enemy leave such obvious wheel marks on the left?!" Kathu asked, puzzled.

This is not difficult to explain, because the enemy knows that we are suspicious, so they deliberately leave such obvious traces that it makes us feel that it is not so simple. And in this way, their smoke bombs are also very easy to lose, as long as they deal with this street sign, they don't have to waste too much manpower and material resources. From this, it can be seen that the enemy has not been passing by for a long time, and not a trap that has been set up a long time ago. Lloyd said as he looked at the sign pointing in the right direction, and then returned to the car.

"Then let's go!" Nicole said excitedly, already excited about this upcoming jungle adventure.

The buggy set off again, heading for the road on the left.

After driving for a long time, he finally came to the front of the Forest of Death, in such a desolate place, but there was such a forest blocking the way, Xiao Zhang carefully drove the car and drove along the road at the entrance of the forest.

When you enter the forest, the towering trees are the opposite of the desolate desert scenery that was before. Many of the large trees are tangled in roots and leafy, and they look like they are all 100 years old. Due to the luxuriant foliage, sunlight is almost impossible to shine in, and at most a few rays of sunlight, which are weaker than the light from a flashlight, shine through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

The Forest of Death is very eerie, Xiao Zhang turned on the high beams of the car, and in the bushes of the jungle, he could also see what animals were moving in it causing the bushes to rustle.

"Nicole close the window quickly, in case the poisonous mosquitoes come in, it's going to be in trouble." Tang Sen reminded him.

Nicole, who was admiring such a special view, came back to her senses and immediately closed the window.

The off-road vehicle slowly bumped along the inconspicuous road in the forest, and the roar of wild beasts could be heard in the distance.

"Parking for Xiao Zhang! Hurry up and turn off the heat! ......," Townsend shouted loudly.
