Tucson City, a city flooded with plants, can be seen from a distance with countless huge vines and plants tightly wrapped around the city, buildings, streets, squares, huge vines can be seen everywhere.

Obviously, the ecology of the city has been completely replaced, and the new environment means that there are new enemies and new dangers inside.

"Theoretically, I wouldn't recommend going into this kind of ghost place, because you don't know what the hell you're going to encounter in the next second in this new ecosystem, and in this kind of place, the previous experience may not work." Looking at the city in front of him, Ding Hao, who was dressed in Dark Shadow Battle Armor, said to the four of Bill. "And the city is so badly damaged, I don't think there's much useful stuff left in it."

"But we have no choice, all the vital supplies are almost unsustainable, and we have to replenish them." As a veteran mercenary, Bill can also see the dangers contained in this strange city, but the lack of supplies makes him have to take the risk: "Otherwise, we will have to wait for death on the highway with the unable bus that cannot be started." ”

It's an interesting world to either wait outside and die, or go into the city to die.

"Well, since we have to enter this city, then I'll teach you some life lessons as a mercenary to face such situations." Ding Hao rubbed his temples, and then put on his helmet: "First of all, never act alone, the five of us must be together, acting alone in this environment is tantamount to killing ourselves." ”

"Second, when you encounter strange things, just look at them from a distance, don't get close, and don't touch them with your hands."

"Third, don't trust any of the creatures inside, even if they give birth to intelligence, bullets and blades are our only means of communication."

"Wouldn't that be too cruel?" After listening to the last sentence, Zoe asked rhetorically with a frown. "What if they have good intentions?"

"Hey, man, you need to know a little bit about history, especially the history of the Indians." Louis patted Zoe on the shoulder, then pointed at Ding Hao with his thumb with his backhand, and then pointed to the ground under his feet: "What he said is standard practice in this country." ”

"Oh, okay." Zoe understood in an instant, and then stopped talking.

"Now that everything has to be said," Francis pulled the pump handle, and the bullet clicked to load, "so let's have a big job." ”

Five people carefully walked through the plant-fringed city of Tucson, where everyone felt as if they were in a strange forest, full of strange-shaped vines and plants, these vines were hung with all kinds of flowers and spores, not only not beautiful, but disgusting and weird.

"It's so hot in here." Zoe pulled his collar and fanned his clothes, unlike the ice and snow outside the city, Tucson City can be regarded as warm as spring, no, it should be said that it is unbearable, Ding Hao looked at the tactical terminal, and it showed that it was actually 34 degrees here.

"It's because of the plants." Ding Hao turned on the infrared vision of the goggles and found that the surrounding vines were all yellow-white representing high temperatures, and through infrared spectroscopic analysis, the surface temperature of these vines was at least 50 degrees, and these plants were like radiators that heated the entire city to a very high temperature.

Everyone walked in this strange city for a long time, and unlike what they expected, the city was dead silent, surrounded by vines except for the ruins of buildings, not to mention any mutated creatures, not even birds and insects.

"There's nothing moving here." Louis took off his coat and hung it on his shoulders, wiped the sweat from his face, and said that walking in this hot environment in a heavy winter coat made him feel like he was about to suffer from heat stroke.

Heat stroke in the winter, it's a really interesting experience.

"Hmm...... Don't let your guard down. Ding Hao looked around from the perspective of biological detection, and also found nothing, I don't know if it was because of the giant plants around him, he couldn't see any creatures at all, "There are two hypotheses in this situation now, either there are really no creatures living here, or they are keeping a distance from us and quietly observing us." ”

"Are those mutated creatures really that smart?" Francis asked, surprised.

"That's for sure, after all, so many years have passed, and it's really hard to say what these monsters have mutated into." Bill said.

"Hey guys, I saw a hospital." At this moment, Zoe, who was walking in the front, suddenly made a discovery, so everyone followed Zoe all the way forward, and soon came to the door of a small three-story hospital that had not yet collapsed.

Huge vines crushed the third floor of the hospital, but the lower two floors were intact, and if you're lucky, you should be able to find some well-preserved medicine.

"I need two people to guard the outside to prevent us from getting dumplings while we are looking for something inside, who wants to stay outside?" Standing at the door of the hospital, Ding Hao asked the four of them.

"I hate injections." Francis said.

"I hate taking pills." Louis said.

"So the two of us are out there chatting." The two said in unison.

"It's vigilance! It's not chatting! Ding Hao emphasized: "If you see something coming, call us loudly." ”

"No problem."

Ding Hao followed Zoe and Bill into the hospital, first inspected the entire hospital, and in the process of inspection, the three of them found a strange phenomenon - there was no body in the hospital, whether it was fresh, rotten, or had turned into a dried corpse, bones, there were none.

"It's strange, why aren't there any bodies?" Faced with this strange scene in front of him, Ding Hao couldn't help but mutter. Tucson is close to the border and has no strategic equipment around, so it is not a nuclear target, and in theory it should be an ideal refuge for refugees.

"By the way, did you see a corpse on the street when you came over just now?" Thinking of this, Ding Hao couldn't help but turn his head and ask Zoe and Bill. "Whether it's fresh or old."

"Corpses?" The two looked at each other for a moment, then shook their heads together, "No, I haven't seen a single one." ”

"Maybe it's because the inhabitants of this area abandoned the city after the plant flooded?" Zoe said.

"I don't think so." Bill lit a cigarette and took a refreshing puff, "Plants can't grow that big in a day, if it's just because of the plants, the residents here should have enough time to deal with them, but the road I just came in was full of crashed car wreckage, luggage and other spilled everywhere, and it was obvious that they were in a hurry, as if something was chasing them after the hospital." ”

"What the hell is that?"

"God knows."

The trio inspected the entire hospital and then began to search for medicines, many of which could still be used for decades if they were well preserved. Soon the three of them were in a big deal, with adrenaline pens, glucose powder, penicillin, penicillin, and all sorts of pill bottles stuffed into Zoe's backpack.

But just as the three of them were looking for medicine, there was a sudden loud bang outside, it was Francis's shotgun!
