The irritability of the woods became more and more apparent, and they ran forward as fast as they could. The dozen or so people who originally followed Lang Lang and fell behind are now gone. I don't know if I left because I saw a riot in the woods before, or if I was already swallowed by the woods. Now, Ouyang Zhi and the others didn't have the time and energy to think, they had to leave the enveloping range of the forest before the root system of the mutated banyan tree was unearthed.

Chen Yan had mentioned before that the ability of the mutant banyan tree was not enough to completely control the entire forest, but after devouring the nearly 1,000 people in Wanchun Garden, no one knew what the current state was, so it was not safe to run out of the range of the forest. Moreover, it is not that you can't see the trees, you know, the root system extends in all directions underground, which is more complex than the city sewer.

"Hugh, take a break, it's so far away." They had been hungry for two days, so after running for half an hour, everyone was out of breath, and several ordinary people collapsed to the ground, let alone continue, even gasping and getting tired.

Ouyang Zhi looked at the surrounding environment, and they had already run to the highway viaduct. It's been a full 40 minutes since they were sent out of space virtually. Should he thank the virtual for not putting them in the woods? Although they were inferior to beggars at the moment, let alone weapons, even the bottles they brought to drink water did not come out.

"Who else can use your abilities?" Ouyang Zhi had been soaking in the hot springs for a long time, but even so, his abilities were only half of those in his heyday, and others believed that they would not be better than him. Sure enough, the best of them. Only Ouyang Fu and Jiang Zixin still have about one-third of their abilities, and a few of them can't even be used at all.

"We are now on the back side of the woods, and the base is in the front direction of the woods. Based on the pre-apocalyptic area of this forest, we are at least 300 kilometers away from the base. Now we don't have any weapons, we don't have any supplies, first of all, we have to find a place to rest, and then we look for supplies. At the very least, you have to eat first. ”

Ability regeneration. In addition to relying on crystal nuclei. The individual's own physique is also very important. If you're well rested and well-fed, it's only a matter of time before your abilities recover. So even though it was still morning, they couldn't make it back to Kyoto right away. It's about finding a place where you can rest. Find something to eat.

"Who's familiar with this neighborhood?" Ouyang Zhi: They have been away from Kyoto for several years. But the Chiang family or others, they are natives of Kyoto, and there will always be people who know what this place is.

"If that's right. This should be the non-garden of WP Town, or it can be said to be Majia Village, which has the former residence of Ma Zhiyuan in the Yuan Dynasty. There are many ancient temples and caves, and there is also a gate on the ancient road. The saying 'small bridges and flowing water, dead vines and old trees, faint crows' is here. Chang Cheng stood up and looked at it, and said with certainty.

"Yes, yes, this is it." Several people also confirmed this after Chang Cheng said it.

"How many routes are there to Kyoto?" Lang Lang began to draw maps by hand, although he often used electronic navigation, but the maps in his computer were actually very clear in his mind. After all, the title of "military division" is not fake.

"Although there are many ancient buildings, the folk customs here are strong after all, so the development here is not very good before the end of the world. In the past, the government wanted to build roads and develop tourism, but they were all destroyed by the villagers. They didn't want to change the layout of the village, especially their burial mounds. Because if they were to be built, the burial mounds would have to be bulldozed. Therefore, the road leading to Kyoto here is not easy to follow, and the second is not easy to walk. The viaduct we are standing on now is already the best road, but it is not long. The whole journey is estimated to be 100 kilometers, but the distance from here to Kyoto is 220 kilometers in a straight line, and if you actually get through, it is about 350 kilometers. There are too many detours. ”

Before the apocalypse, Chang Cheng came here a few times. Some of them came here with friends for travel, and some of them came here as soldiers to carry out their missions, so they have a special understanding of the fierce folk customs here. You must know that the villagers here still maintain the custom of hunting, although the state clearly prohibits hunting, but the villagers, especially men, need to prove several important moments in their lives through hunting. For example, adulthood, such as marriage, etc. Therefore, almost every household in the village has homemade shotguns or earthen medicine bags, not to mention other things such as machetes and iron clips.

"Let's go to the village first. You lead the way. Ouyang Zhi saw that Lang Lang had already mapped out the relevant route, so he decided to go to the village to rest first, and then see if he could find some supplies.

That's a bit risky. Although it is not very close to Kyoto, and the road is not smooth, after all, it has been a few months since the end of the world, and it is not certain whether there are troops or survivors who have collected this place. You know, if someone has come, let alone food, as long as there is something useful, nothing will be left.

They walked for more than 2 hours before getting off the viaduct. And on and off the bridge, there are really two completely different situations. To put it simply, it is the difference between a concrete road and a dirt road. Although it is difficult to walk, the appearance of muddy roads also shows that the village is not far away.

The first thing they saw before seeing the village was a few small bridges. It's a bit like the small bridges that can be seen everywhere in Wuzhen, with quaint primary colors, narrow and short bridge bodies, and shallow flowing water underneath. After crossing the three bridges, they saw the gate of the village. It is said to be a door, but in fact, it is two large stone piers, one on the left and one on the right. The distance between the stone piers is very narrow, that is, a small car can pass through, and the driver's skills must be tested. Not to mention trucks, even larger off-road vehicles can't get through here. On both sides of the stone pier are walls made of stones of different sizes, the smallest of which is the size of a bowl. The fence winds its way around the village. The marks on it are mottled, telling of the wind and frost it has experienced.

The village is quiet. After years of walking, the road stones are as smooth as a mirror, and if you are not careful, you will slip. Looking at the past from afar, you can't see the end of the village, and the road stones are not straight, but like a Jiangnan garden, with twists and turns.

"What is the population here?" Ouyang Zhi asked.

"There should be a few thousand before the end of the day. There are 900 registered accounts. However, unlike other villages, there are very few men who go out to work, and even when they do, they are mainly short-term workers. In other words, when the end came, there were definitely a lot of people in the village. After all, those who work part-time jobs mean that they don't come back for the Spring Festival, and New Year's Day is also a day of reunion. (To be continued.) )
