For!

The left foot, which is mechanically supported by the exoskeleton, steps on a dark red brick, making a muffled sound of metal clashing.

Chen Xu stopped, looked into the distance for a while, turned back to Xia Jinse, who was a little faltering, and said, "There are still a few kilometers to go, let's rest here for a while." ”

As he spoke, he lifted a concrete beam from the rubble, allowing the flat side to go up. He sat on one end, took out the kettle, poured it into the lid, and took a few sips of water. Then the kettle was placed in the middle of the cement beam.

The backpack for points redemption is multi-functional, equipped with a number of gadgets, including a water bottle. There is only one, and it can only be shared by two people.

Xia Jinse's breathing was a little short, sweat kept breaking out on his forehead, and he didn't care about the dust, so he sat on the other end of the cement beam, panting, leaned over his upper body, and took the kettle.

She tilted her head, let the mouth of the kettle be a few pieces of paper, and poured water into her mouth in small sips.

Although Chen Xu was sitting, his eyes were constantly observing the surroundings. He deliberately chose a place with a relatively wide view to rest.

The two walked for almost three hours, about ten kilometers or so.

The main reason is that he rests too much, Xia Jinse obviously doesn't exercise often, his physical strength is relatively poor, and after walking for more than half an hour, he was so tired that he couldn't walk, so he had to stop and rest.

Other than that, it's not a bit of a thrill.

Along the way, he came across a monster once, and when he raised his gun to shoot, it quickly escaped through the terrain. With Xia Jinse by his side, he didn't dare to chase after him.

He was worried that the monster would come with a group of monsters, so he couldn't help but speed up, and he was still worried.

After walking for nearly half an hour, they didn't see a large group of monsters catching up, so they were relieved.

After that time, he became more vigilant, and he tried to choose a more broad-minded route to take. That monster wasn't the green-skinned orangutan I'd seen before, but another breed, small in size and strange in speed, and should be good at sneak attacks.

"We've been walking almost ten kilometers."

After Xia Jinse drank the water, he put the kettle back in place and suddenly spoke.

Chen Xu was a little surprised, she hadn't spoken since she set off. He thought she was going to have a cold war for a while.

"Did you notice, we haven't even touched a living plant along the way."

Xia Jinse's expression was a little worried, "I have paid attention and found that the soil here has been sandified. I'm afraid, it's all like that in this city. ”

Chen Xu was stunned in his heart, he also noticed the problem of plants, he originally thought that it was just a problem with the dream setting, but after listening to her words, he realized the seriousness.

He stood up, walked over to a patch of bare/exposed concrete, picked up the robotic arm, and slammed it into the ground. After a few punches, a hole was smashed into the concrete floor.

After picking up the stones on it, he grabbed a handful of sand, and his face became a little solemn.

If the entire city is desertified, it means that it has become a real dead city, and it is not suitable for life at all.

Actually, there is already a foreshadowing of this. Along the way, they didn't encounter any living creatures except for a monster.

Xia Jinse also walked over, saw the situation under the ground, and asked him, "How much food do you still have?" ”

Chen Xu didn't think about it, and replied, "Under normal circumstances, it is enough for the two of us to eat for ten days." Save a little and be able to last for two weeks. ”

Xia Jinse sighed and said, "I hope that in that survival base, I can get some food supplies." ”

Otherwise, the two of them are in trouble.

Chen Xu quickly cheered up again and comforted her, "Don't worry, since there are still transport trucks passing by here, and there are monsters surviving here, the situation must not be bad to that extent." ”

"Hopefully." Xia Jinse muttered.

Chen Xu looked at her, saw that there was worry on her face, but he couldn't see any fear, and couldn't help but say, "You don't seem to be afraid?" ”

"Does it work to be afraid?" She asked rhetorically.

Chen Xu shook his head and said, "The truth is this, but few people can do it." Fear is a normal psychological reaction, and it is not something that you can control if you want to, at least, the vast majority of ordinary people can't do it. ”

Xia Jinse suddenly smiled, and his delicate face softened, "Are you praising yourself in a different way?" ”

The implication is that Chen Xu himself did not show any fear.

Chen Xu smiled, quite satisfied with the change in her attitude, and the tone and content of her speech no longer had that hinting at the command.

She was finally able to get her position right, and it was a good start.

…………

The two rested for nearly half an hour and set off again, and the desertification of the land gave them a sense of urgency in their hearts, and they wanted to rush to the settlement to see the situation there.

On that navigator, the name of the settlement was G5232. The location is a low mountain bag. This is already another district, and Chen Xu is not familiar with it. I don't know what the reality corresponds to.

Forty minutes later, they could already see a wall and knew that the settlement was about to arrive, and their spirits were lifted.

However, when they came some distance closer and saw the situation of the gate, their hearts sank, and they stopped at the same time.

The gate of the settlement was open, and at the door, several smaller green-skinned orangutans were playing.

"What should I do?" Xia Jinse asked.

Chen Xu said in a deep voice, "It seems that this settlement has fallen, and most of the people in it have ...... I just don't know how many monsters there are inside. ”

"There are five small ones at the door, and at best, two large ones. Bad case, it's a bunch. ”

Chen Xu agrees with her speculation that this green-skinned orangutan may live in a group as a family unit, or it may be an entire group living together. It's up to their luck.

Xia Jinse looked at him, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Chen Xu clenched the gun in his hand, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Let's go in, you must follow me in a while." ”

Xia Jinse gritted his teeth and said, "Give me a gun." ”

Chen Xu asked, "Have you ever shot a gun?" ”

"No, you teach me." She looked at him and said seriously, "I don't want to watch myself being eaten by monsters. ”

"I refuse."

Chen Xu grabbed the rifle with the mechanical arm on his left side, held the pistol in his right hand, slowly stood up, and said, "I won't let you die in front of me." Keep up. ”

Xia Jinse took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and rushed out after him.
