After a five-and-a-half-day journey, the float finally arrived at its destination, Cold Spring Harbor, on the northwestern edge of the Grimm continent.

Cold Spring Harbor is the only town on the Grimm continent and the only safe area, named after the cold spring located on the northwest edge of the Lokyu Mountains.

From above, you can see an endless tropical rainforest. The trees are towering, and the shrubs are reborn, like a sea of dark green.

The equator passes through here, and the climate is hot and rainy, with lush vegetation, humid and muggy.

During the cataclysm, the Grimm continent was also the hardest hit area, and it was washed by nuclear bombs from beginning to end.

But unlike other areas - barren under the influence of radiation. The plants on the Grimm Continent have mutated, and their ability to grow and reproduce has become extremely powerful.

The wild growth of plants has become another kind of disaster, taking up most of the living space, and it is also unsuitable for human habitation.

For this reason, the rangers are also known as "New World Gardeners" and "Lawn Mowers". These mutated plants are capable of attacking and preying on animals, the most common of which is the "man-eating fig", a vine that resembles a python that entangles its prey and gradually absorbs nutrients from its prey until it becomes a dry skeleton with only skin sacs.

The people stationed here are required to cut the grass and cut the trees regularly, so as not to be encroached upon by too many plants.

Coming down from the float boat, a dark green color came into view. Everywhere there are dark green tents, of all sizes and shapes.

It is said that because they are often attacked by large mutant creatures, they do not dare to build reinforced concrete buildings to avoid being destroyed and rebuilt, and the investment is increased.

In the middle of the large tent, a tall stone statue was erected. The lines are simple and the workmanship is slightly rough, but it can be seen that he is a majestic middle-aged man, facing southeast, with a firm gaze and a tall chest, as if he is defending against an intruder.

This is a statue of the watchman on duty, and because it changes every year, the workmanship can't be too good.

In order to reduce the casualty rate of the development of the Green Continent, under the strong request of the Human Survival Committee, a small king-level powerhouse will be stationed in Cold Spring Harbor every year, and the powerhouse will be guarded by the countries in turn.

If you come to the foot of the stone carving, you can see the name of the rotating person and the country represented behind it - Li Yafan and Xichuan Country engraved on the stone plaque.

However, with a legendary powerhouse in charge, why use a tent?

Not to mention whether the legendary powerhouse has the noble spirit of sacrificing for others, and the necessity of sacrifice, each of them is a strategic resource of the country where they are located, and must not be easily lost.

It is extremely immoral to use moral kidnapping to force the sacrifice of others, so the Human Survival Committee has a clear clause that if the watchman on duty feels in danger, he can retreat first without being morally responsible.

"Good luck to you!"

The crew of the float boat said goodbye to Chen Xing and the others while moving the goods down.

Rickshaw trucks are waiting in a queue on the periphery of the open space, ready to transport the goods to various warehouses.

As far as the eye can see, there are warehouses everywhere, from granaries with spires, to resource warehouses in the shape of bread, and to heavily guarded ammunition depots.

Coming out of the open space and past the queue of rickshaws, you will see the makeshift hospital with the Red Cross hanging on it.

The gravel road is lined with stalls with tattered shade cloths, selling all kinds of supplies and weapons.

"Military master, do you want rations, good military rations, the Great Wall industry of the Eastern Continent, fried noodles, barbecue, there are all of them." A vendor pointed to the military rations in his hand and kept selling.

"Guy

Son, do you want a silver star, eighty percent of the new, one shot can kill a cow. "A vendor is holding a silver pistol aloft and peddling it.

"Wild mushrooms, wild berries, wild strawberries, three copper plates in a bag, I have tried it, it is delicious, and it is absolutely non-toxic." A vendor eats a blue strawberry and geeks to passers-by.

If you buy things often, you will find that the prices here are much more expensive than outside. Basically, when things from the Red Earth Continent come here, the price will double by more than two hundred percent.

The people who came down from the float boat walked forward until they were quiet near the stone sculpture of the watchman on duty.

"Big brother, where are you going?" Xiao Xu asked reluctantly. After getting along for the past few days, he has established a very good relationship with Chen Xing.

"I'll stop by with you, let's walk together for a while." Chen Xing also liked this simple young man very much, so he simply did something good and sent them back to the station.

Anyway, it's also a dropway. On the way here, he had already studied the map. Divine World 39 is about four hundred kilometers northeast of the human-controlled zone, in the same direction as the uncle and nephew's station.

The Grimm Continent's area of human control is divided into grid-like areas of several sizes, each of which ranges from three square kilometers to eight square kilometers, and the vacant areas are assigned to groups of hunters, who will be stationed for three years to gain ownership of the land.

"We are in similar places, we can walk together, and we can take care of them on the road." Sister Xiong said to Lao Xu. They are in NW3790 and Lao Xu is in NW4128, and the difference between the two places is not too far.

Lao Xu happily agreed, and also proposed to invite everyone to drink at noon. The rainforest is dangerous, and even under human control, there are still many mutated creatures. One more person with more insurance is not a bad thing. Moreover, the Xiong sisters are fellow villagers of Qingguo, so the possibility of stabbing them in the back is relatively small.

Lao Xu and Sister Xiong both have animal-powered carts stored in Cold Spring Harbor. After lunch, the goods were loaded onto the carts, and the group began to march northwest.

"Big brother, do you just bring such a little ration, is it enough to eat?" Xiao Xu saw Chen Xing carrying a lightweight military backpack and asked with some concern.

Such a small backpack can only hold more than ten days' rations, which is not enough to eat.

"It's not enough to hunt anymore." Chen Xing said casually. There were two cubic meters of storage space in his storage space, piled with all kinds of canned food and military rations, enough to eat for several months.

"When you get to the camp, I'll ask my uncle to get you some more." Xiao Xu was still not at ease and said.

Moments later, the team left Cold Spring Harbor and entered the rainforest.

According to unwritten convention, they would walk along the edges of the two hunting areas. The road is relatively easy to follow due to the frequent movement of people. Local hunters also regularly clear the roadside plants, so it's still relatively safer than no man's land.

Although there are occasional vicious/incidents of murder and overkill, most of the time it is safe. The rangers are all mercenaries, they have combat effectiveness, and it is not worth it to fight hard for some worthless food and equipment, and they will be deprived of the ownership of the land if the matter is revealed, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The real value here is the ownership of the land, which can be exchanged for a large sum of money after three years.

As for women or anything, they don't need to be violent.

Ninety-nine percent of the women who can show up here are mercenaries. Female mercenaries and male mercenaries are essentially the same, licking blood with a knife, never knowing if they will be alive tomorrow. In addition, this world is technologically advanced, and contraception is very simple, so most female mercenaries are relatively open, as long as both parties can see it, it is very common for couples to dew overnight.

The food is not valuable, it is not difficult to sleep with a woman, and there are guns. A hard bone without much meat, few people are willing to gnaw on it.

At noon, the rainforest was so hot and humid that everyone was sweating profusely after walking for a while.

"I'm starting to miss frozen soda." Xiao Xu wiped the sweat on his head and said, but saw that Chen Xing didn't sweat at all, the whole person was clean and refreshing, and he was suddenly a little curious, "Big brother, why didn't you sweat." ”

"Maybe I'm drinking less water." Chen Xing said casually. He wouldn't tell the other party that he was a man with "Flame Demon One Blood", the ability to be immune to flames, and he couldn't even feel the temperature of the hot flames, let alone the stuffiness.

He is afraid of cold and heat, and this environment is like turning on an air conditioner of 23 degrees for him, which is very comfortable.

The poor little mercenary was fooled again, and consciously reduced the amount of water he drank, and as a result, he was so hot that he was dizzy, and stuck out his tongue like a little yellow dog chained to the hot sun.

"Whew!"

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Chen Xing took out two cans of soda in the storage space and handed a bottle to Xiao Xu.

"Wow, orange soda!"

Xiao Xu poured it down, ahh

"Big brother, where did you get the soda?" Xiao Xu looked up and down, scratching his head, unable to figure out where the soda came from.

"I bought it at Cold Spring Harbor just now." Chen Xing said while drinking orange juice soda.

"Oh......" Xiao Xu has a simple personality and is easy to believe.

"Someone looks like there's up ahead?" Lao Xu and Sister Xiong, who were walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"Relax, brother, we're here hunters." Two mercenaries emerged from the bushes one after the other, their guns pointing upwards, indicating no malice.

"A few days ago, there was a spider demon, our rifle bullets have run out, are there any small-caliber ones, five-five-six, let us a little." One of the mercenaries said. Hunters who lack supplies and don't plan to return will wait on the side of the road for passing mercenaries to trade with them.

"You're the Sandfolks?" Lao Xu asked. The two have maroon skin, which is the signature skin color of the sandmen.

"Yes, we are all from Dafangzhou." The two admitted.

"I can only give you five boxes of thirty rounds of rifle ammunition, advocating industrial production, and the price is according to Cold Spring Harbor." Lao Xu said.

"Can you give twenty boxes?" The Sandman mercenary asked.

"Nope." Lao Xu refused. If it's a fellow, he will sell more, but if it's a sand man, it's good to be able to sell it.

"Ten boxes, good people do it to the end." The Sand Mercenaries retreated to the next second.

In the end, Lao Xu traded eight boxes, after all, it is not easy to work outside.

"Thank you for being able to visit our camp." Sha Min said, taking a small bag of sun-dried plants to Lao Xu, "The happy flowers we planted ourselves are very energetic to smoke." ”

The so-called happy flower is the poppy. There was little other entertainment during the long watch, and many rangers would smoke this to pass the time. In addition, it can be used to relieve pain when you are injured, so it is a popular thing.

After walking forward for a while, away from the two sand people, Lao Xu threw away the bag of happy flowers. also ran back and told Xiao Xu solemnly, "Don't learn to smoke this, otherwise I will beat you for your father." ”

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm......mmmm

However, out of the corner of Chen Xing's eye, he saw that one of the little white faces of the Xiong family sisters sneaked over and stuffed the bag containing happy flowers into his pocket.

Lao Xu also saw it, but didn't say anything, after all, everyone has their own choice.
