"Well, it's just a small lake. We used to come here to graze our cattle, but this lake didn't exist before. I don't know what caused it, but it stands to reason that there won't be any underground rivers or anything like that around here. Moreover, there are no creatures under the water in this lake. ”

This is also something that Batu cannot explain. Although he is a smart person in the tribe, and he has also left the grassland to go to the outside city, after all, he still can't compare with Ouyang Zhi, Ouyang Zhi and they can know that many regional patterns have changed after the apocalypse, but Batu will not know it, nor can he think of it.

The lake that suddenly formed, although suspicious, was not enough to arouse Ouyang Zhi's curiosity. But there is no living life underwater, which is very rare. Before the end of the day, there is a stagnant water, and there will be all kinds of creatures on or under the water. After the apocalypse, the pattern changes, and underwater life will also undergo a life-and-death elimination of the survival of the fittest. However, no matter how much it changes, it is impossible for a lake to appear for no reason. Unless it's man-made! There are many things that nature can't do, human beings can, just like reclamation, just like desert forests!

Ouyang Zhi thought about it again this morning, when he walked here, he felt that the distance between him and Chen Yan was getting closer and closer, as if he saw Chen Yan passing by here a few months ago.

"Where's that lake?"

"Well, it's about a kilometer past here." Batu was stunned for a moment, he just mentioned it casually, he really didn't expect Ouyang Zhi to be interested.

"Take me there. Right now. ”

"Now?" Batu didn't even close his mouth this time. Although during the day the steppe wolves were driven away. There won't be more powerful mutant beasts than them in this area for the time being, but what are you doing on the edge of the lake at night?

"Now." Ouyang Zhi had already stood up, ignoring the attention he had attracted because of his sudden stand-up.

"Okay." Batu was not angry in his heart, when had he ever been so ignored, but he dared to take the few men in the tribe to ambush the steppe wolves, but under Ouyang Zhi's serious and serious expression, he couldn't resist in the slightest.

"You two follow. Others do what they have to do. Batu waved his hand. Lighting two men who had not gone out during the day, he picked up a torch from the campfire and walked out of the tribe first.

Nature is indeed amazing, and many plants in the world have mutated. There are no variations. Basically, they are all eliminated. But here the steppes. These grasses have not undergone much mutation except for the fact that they grow more violently, especially. They are all harmless.

Throughout the winter, not a single star is visible. But now, a little starlight dots the dark sky, if you can add some insects and frogs around, I believe that before the end, it will be a good tourist attraction.

Along the way, they didn't speak, not that Batu didn't want to say, but he could see that the man he only met today didn't seem to be in a very good mood now. Four people, two torches, just walked quietly.

A kilometer is not a long distance, especially for those of them who are used to walking. In about twenty minutes, they were on the edge of the lake.

Ouyang Zhi was very excited, he didn't need Jin Tong or anyone else to tell him, the closer he got to the lake, the stronger the feeling he felt with Chen Yan. And really standing on the edge of the lake, it was the golden pupil in his arms, and he was so excited that he got out. After getting along for more than two months, Ouyang Zhi already knew that Jin Tong also had a certain feeling for Chen Yan. Although, his understanding is wrong, Jin Tong does not have feelings for Chen Yan, but for virtuality.

Ouyang Zhi stood on the edge of the lake and was distracted, as if there was some rare treasure under the water in Batu's eyes. In fact, Ouyang Zhi was trying to recall the pattern of this area before the apocalypse, as well as the political and military layout in the past.

That's right, Xu Lao has a layout here. Although it was closed more than a decade ago, it did have a base at the time. What is this base about? Ouyang Zhi was still trying to recall, at this moment, he missed Lang Lang extremely much. If Lang Lang is here, he can tell him in detail what he wants to know. But now, I have to rely on myself.

Is it a military base or a research base? When was it closed? Who is the main person in charge? What is the reason for the closure? After Chen Yan's disappearance, all the information about Xu Lao and his henchmen was placed on his desk. He carefully read every piece of information, memorized it, and tried to find out where Chen Yan was most likely to be hidden.

Here in the grassland, it was not his best choice at that time. After all, this place was the territory before Xu Lao's development, and it had been sealed for nearly twenty years. Moreover, in a series of outstanding deeds of Xu Lao, this place does not have too many merits. However, under the guidance of Jin Tong, he inexplicably insisted on this direction, and the further he went, the stronger the feeling in his heart became. Until now when he saw this lake, he was sure that Chen Yan must be here, or rather, she was once here, and she left a deep imprint.

The golden pupil had already left his embrace, crawled onto the grassland, and then quickly climbed into the water, leaving a faint ripple.

"Let's go." Even though the sky was shining with stars, even if the torches were bright, the night still covered the whole grassland, and even with his eyesight, he could not see the whole lake clearly in such darkness. It's useless to continue to stay, and the golden pupil has already entered the water, so it's better to go back first and wait for the golden pupil's detection results.

"Oh, go back, go back!" Batu was really puzzled, and he ran over at night, stayed on the edge of the lake for a while, and then put a snake into the lake. Is it to be released? The thinking of people outside is really incomprehensible.

"Let's go, let's go!" On the way back, there was still silence. This time and forth, but it took about an hour, but the bonfire party in the tribe had ended, except for the people on duty who were still sticking to their posts, the rest of the people had already entered their respective tents.

Batu owns a small tent of his own, while the others live in three large tents.

"Well, look at ......" I didn't think much about it when I brought Ouyang Zhi back at that time, but now that I want to resettle it, I found that there is really no suitable place for Ouyang Zhi to rest, and he can't let him squeeze into a big tent with others, but he can't give him his own place.

"No need to arrange it, I have my own sleeping bag, so let's set it up next to the campfire." Ouyang Zhi was carrying a large backpack with all kinds of equipment for his camping. (To be continued.) )

PS: Yesterday I visited the relevant historical monuments of the New Fourth Army, and I suddenly became very interested in that period of history.
