Wu Qi and Renee crossed the mountain pass, and they were greeted by a large beach surrounded by mountains. The water of the beach is deep blue, and here and there is a kind of vegetation with dark green stems and leaves, and blue and purple flowers. The vegetation seems to float on the water, adding a little beauty to the bland beach.

The water depth of the beach is very shallow, and you can see the fish creatures below the surface and the green mud at the bottom of the water, and the blue-purple vegetation is rooted in the holes in the soil. There are also many raised platforms in the waterfront, and several frogs with bright golden skin are lying on them and squawring.

The water beach is flanked by two entrances to the valley, one leading to the left and the other to the right. The towering mountain is in the middle of the distance. The mountain is covered with tall verdant vegetation, and the dense sea of canopies obscures the view of the mountain, making people subconsciously look at the pathways around the valley.

"Did the giant mudfish swim out of the valley from this outlet? It looks like the water is clear. Wu Qi asked. Regardless of its size or the water quality it prefers, the habitat of the giant mudfish should be a swamp rather than such a clear beach.

"The water flows underground, and it's clear because the water here is constantly circulating and renewing. The giant mudfish converts the wet soil around it into mud, but it still swims here from underground waterways and out of the valley during heavy rains. Renee explained.

She raised her right hand and pointed to the valley passage on the right: "Go here and make a few more turns, and you will see the swamp habitat of the giant mudfish a few hundred meters deeper." However, there are other waterways circulating under the swamp, and occasionally a large number of mud fish will converge in a swamp. ”

"There are a lot of underground waterways in this forest?" Wu Qi heard the word underground water for the second time and asked.

"Hmm. The most mysterious and unexplored area of this mountain forest is the underground waterways. Other areas such as forests, wastelands, caves, etc., our team had already explored when they chose to camp here. That said, the area we know is only a part of the mountain range. The end of the mountain range is still unknown. ”

Wu Qi nodded understandingly. Renee tells him that if you go to the left, you can go up the mountain through the forest on the left, and there are many waterways on the left. On the right side, there are not so many tall trees, and there is a lot of wasteland in the distance.

Renee said their camp was stationed in an underground cave at the back of the heath. The cave is very wide, and there are several layers deep down, connected by cliffs of several meters or more than ten meters. There are a large number of stalactite pillars in the cave. Ore exposed beyond the rock wall, as well as insects, mosses, vines, and a corner of an underground river.

There are a large number of wind holes in the cave, and the air circulation is not bad. The cave has different levels of inner and outer passages, i.e. creatures from the outside world can enter the cave without going through the largest opening; Therefore, it is possible to encounter the plague species from outside in the cave, and it is not surprising to see the remains of the plague species lying in the corner. The cave level where the camp is located has less access to the outside world, and they have enough manpower to guard it.

Renee did not explain the situation of the cave where the camp was located, but only gave a general explanation. If Wu Qi had been exploring the outside of the cave in the camp for 15 minutes, he would have known all the information she had just said. And there is some crucial information, Wu Qi herself does not go to her camp to see, and it is impossible to know it from the outside.

For Renee and Wu Qi, both of them trust each other far from the level of "trust". Wu Qi had to watch out for Renee's teammates, who would never let their guard down until they became familiar with the environment of the mountains, and Renee would also prevent Wu Qi from attacking their camp.

"Are you going back to camp with me?" Renee said.

Wu Qi glanced at Renee and walked to the left side of the road on his own.

Renee muttered, "Why did I ask what I was doing, and I knew it couldn't be when I thought about it." ”

Wu Qi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned to Renee and said, "Thank you for bringing me to this mountain range, and please keep your teammates a secret from them about my existence." ”

"Can you tell me how to contact you? You're not going to rush into the forest and disappear without saying hello, are you? Renee said.

"I can't tell you that, because I can't say for sure right now." Wu Qi didn't have any communication devices on him, and even if he did, he wouldn't use them with Renee. The group of teammates behind her is always a potential threat.

"Well, then I'll think about it." Renee said with her chin pinched.

Wu Qi spread his hands and said, "You think slowly." If you're on your own and your jungle tracking skills are good enough, you'll be able to find me. ”

What Wu Qi means is that he will not completely erase the traces left by his passing.

"Okay, goodbye then."

"Goodbye."

Wu Qi and Renee parted ways. Wu Qi walked into the forest on the left, and soon disappeared. Renee watched Wu Qi's back disappear before continuing to walk to the right.

Renee had read Wu Qi's file and knew that Wu Qi was a "hunter" with strong survival ability and excellent comprehensive skills. But the skills she learned had nothing to do with hunters, she could track the skills required for soldiers, but when it came to tracking the traces left by a person or a creature in the complex jungle and finding her target, she didn't think she was good at all.

Renee sighed with her hands on her hips. The complexity of the tone was strong, but she quickly regained her spirits and walked in the direction of the wasteland.

This hunt to chase a giant mud fish into the wasteland was not a loss at all, and the thought of having one more person in the same mountain range who was worth communicating with and understanding made Renee feel a little more excited in her heart.

After a short time, Renee made her way to the cavern where the camp was located.

As soon as you enter the cave, the light of the environment suddenly becomes much darker, and the color of the rock walls in the dark environment is dark blue or gray. A little further inside is a stone cliff with a horizontal height difference of more than ten meters. There is a curtain of slender vines on the side of the cliff, and the ends of these vines are pierced into the cracks of the earth and stones, and the firmness is quite good. Renee followed the vines all the way, letting go of the perceptual web to explore the dimly lit surroundings.

After making sure that no plague from the outside world has invaded the road ahead. Renee continued deeper into the cavern, down two floors, three floors, and all the way down to the fourth floor.

In the cave on the fourth floor, the light has become brighter. There are a large number of bare bones scattered on the rock walls of the cave. Ore that exposes the rock wall, and the inside of these ores emits a faint light. The light emitted by all the ores is quite bright when combined. On the side of the cave road, there is a pond of underground river water, the surface of the water is blue and white, and the light of the ore is reflected on the water surface, reaching all corners of the cave as far as the eye can see. And at the bottom of the water in the corner of the underground river is glowing ore.

Because of the glowing ore and the surface of the underground river, the cavern on the fourth floor is bright enough to see people's faces. The underground river also provides a very clean source of water that can be used for washing and bathing without any treatment.

On the opposite side of the underground waterhole is a camp of more than a dozen tents, illuminated by long torches standing inside and outside the camp.

"Someone from the cooking team." Renee walked over with a huge mesh bag held up by fish.

A soldier heard the sound and came out to greet him, and Renee handed the bag of fish to the soldier and told him to "do it immediately".

The daily necessities in the camp were brought from field vehicles, including kitchen utensils and so on.

Renee finished serving the fish and walked straight into one of the tents. The curtain was lifted, and the tent was lit with a bright white light. Crouching Tiger's vice-captain, Nero, lies on a marching blanket. Song Zha was also in the same tent, he was sitting on the floor reading a book, and another soldier was taking care of Nero.

"I'm back. The hunt for the giant mudfish was successful, and the cooking team was already doing it. Renee chose a marching blanket and sat cross-legged.

When Nero saw Renee coming back, he struggled to sit up from the covers, and he said, "You've been there for a long time. Purely for me, not really. ”

Renee looked at Nero's pale face and felt very uncomfortable. Nero's skin was always as white as a stone carving, but since he was seriously injured, his face looked whiter and bloodless than before.

"Vice Captain, the meat quality of the giant mud fish is first-class. It is rich in nutrients and very helpful for you to recuperate. Renee said, her gaze shifting to her belly, which was covered by the quilt from Nero.

Nero wanted to say something, but he saw that Renee was in a heart, and that the hunt had returned, so he didn't say anything more, but said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Words like "nutritious" are a bit like a bad joke for soldiers like them who go deep into the occupied areas to carry out tasks and live on the meat of the plague seeds. But if it weren't for the fact that his injuries were so severe that they couldn't even be cured with powerful cytoactive agents, Renee wouldn't have thought of such a method that no one would normally understand.

Looking back a few days ago, they rode forward in field vehicles, surveyed wherever they advanced, and easily solved all the food and accommodation in the field vehicles with resources and complete facilities. Now they live in a cave in a wasteland deep in the mountains, and they have set up a camp. Half of the soldiers who survived were wounded, as if the transition from the beginning to the present was a dream.

Renee chatted with Nero and Songzha for a while, and chatted with the soldiers who took care of Nero for a while, and then continued to stay in the camp and kill time reading books like Songzha.

After some time, the soldiers of the cooking team brought a fish soup stewed with huge mud fish. The fish broth was brought to Nero, and the noodle soup was golden brown and had a hot and tempting aroma; The delicate and fatty chunks of fish, served with freshly cooked rice and dishes, were the hearts of the soldiers of the cooking team.

Renee saw that Nero was well fed and fond of the food she had hunted, and then left the camp with confidence.

Before you know it, the evening has come.
