No matter how bad the era is, there is always a beautiful scenery that makes people fascinated.

Just like the dusk at this moment, the heat has faded, and when the sunset with a faint purple light falls on the earth, the evening breeze blowing has a hint of tranquility.

The entire 'sub-safety belt' of the forest is wantonly unfurled, exuding vigorous vitality.

'Whew', Tang Ling sat on a thick branch, squeezed out the sap of the blue locust tree fruit, and smeared it on the wounds on his calf and arm.

The juice of the blue locust fruit brought a cool and comfortable feeling to the hot wound, which made Tang Ling breathe a sigh of relief.

In two hours at most, night will fall, and when the purple moon rises, the moonlight will make all the creatures in the forest go crazy, and even the reckless forest of the 'sub-harness' will become extremely unsafe.

Before that, Tang Ling had to return to the settlement.

But the settlement was chaotic, and Tang Ling knew very well what kind of temptation a bottle of third-level drinking water would bring.

Therefore, he had to keep his body in good condition before he dared to go to Old Fox Quark and exchange it for tertiary drinking water for what he needed.

"Wait another hour, and you'll be there." The blue locust fruit was the best 'healing medicine' that Tang Ling could find, but the tired body always needed to rest, and the juice of the blue locust fruit also needed a certain amount of time to take effect.

Leaning on the trunk of the tree, Tang Ling took out the precious bottle of tertiary drinking water from his arms, and after just a slight glance, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the No. 17 safety zone a little farther away.

When you reach the edge of the 'secondary harness', you can always see it from afar, and the 150-meter-high gray thick walls make it look like a fierce beast lurking under the cliff.

That was the paradise that Tang Ling longed for.

If they can take their mother-in-law and sister to live in Safe Zone 17, at least they can sleep peacefully at night, and they don't have to worry about animal tides, insect plagues, even bloodthirsty plants, and all kinds of natural disasters...

It's just that how easy it is to stay in a safe zone? The high cost of 50 credits a day is not something you can afford now.

But tomorrow I will be 15 years old, and if I can do that, I will be eligible to move into the safe zone and I will not have to spend credits...

Thinking of this, Tang Ling secretly clenched his fists.

**

When you step out of the forest of the 'secondary safety belt', you enter the 'safety belt'.

And this so-called seat belt is a shrub forest that surrounds Safety Zone 17, a radius of less than ten miles.

The settlement is hidden underneath the bush, and through the bush there is a road full of cracks, said to be left over from a previous civilization, and on both sides of this road are densely packed with the entrances to the settlement.

These entrances are either visible or hidden.

Even Tang Ling couldn't figure out how many entrances were hidden in the seat belt.

Following this path, Tang Ling walked in a north-facing direction, which led to an entrance closest to where he lived in the settlement.

His pace was not slow, because in less than half an hour, the purple moon would rise, and the so-called seat belt would not necessarily be safe at that time.

Deadly poisonous snakes, annoying bugs, and all kinds of creatures can threaten people's lives.

Unless you're lucky enough to come across the Purple Moon Warrior's patrol harness, appearing in the harness at night is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

Tang Ling didn't gamble on luck, on the contrary, he was too cautious, but today he was lucky, when he was less than 300 meters away from the entrance of the settlement, he saw a patrol team composed of three Purple Moon warriors from a distance.

The standard purple armor, black cloak, bright silver, and a silver long knife of one and a half meters are the standard equipment of the Purple Moon warriors in the 17th Security Zone.

The appearance of the Purple Moon Warrior made Tang Ling can't help but slow down, in this era when humans are at the bottom of the food chain, the Purple Moon Warrior is powerful.

They seem to be beyond the scope of human beings, all kinds of beasts are like ants in their eyes, and even the legendary mutant beasts, they can fight.

Tang Ling very much longed to become a Purple Moon Warrior, but every Purple Moon Warrior was 'precious', not by virtue of hard work or some innate divine power, and quick reactions.

To become a Purple Moon Warrior, one must pass a previously mysterious test, and only by meeting certain secret conditions can one be eligible to become a Purple Moon Warrior.

What exactly is a test? And what are the conditions? Tang Ling didn't know, even the so-called test, Tang Ling spent three credits to learn from the old fox Quark.

Retracting his gaze, Tang Ling didn't think much about it, but turned his head and strode towards the settlement, his dream of becoming a Purple Moon Warrior was too far away from him.

The entrance to the settlement is under a nondescript bush, which can be lifted down the stairs by lifting a piece of iron.

The people who live here don't have to worry about wanderers finding out and taking over the place.

Because what is the settlement? In fact, it is said that the 'underground sewer project' was left behind by the previous civilization.

Tang Ling didn't understand the meaning of this word, he only knew that this intricate underground project, if the people who lived here for a very long time, they would be completely lost in it, and even become food for black-toothed rats.

In fact, even the people of the settlement have only focused on a limited extent in the exploration of this underground project.

But for returning to the place where he lived, the fifth camp of the settlement, Tang Ling was naturally very familiar with it, and he could find its location almost with his eyes closed.

An iron gate blocked the entrance to the settlement, and when Tang Ling knocked on the door with the code, a small window opened, revealing a yellowed man's face.

"Tang Ling, it's been three days, I thought your kid died outside." This man obviously knew Tang Ling, and his tone was not very friendly.

Tang Ling's face was expressionless, and he just took out the iron coins representing two credits from his arms and threw them to the man.

The man took the iron coin and grinned, revealing his blackened teeth, but he was not in a hurry to open the door, but looked at Tang Ling.

"It seems that after three days of going out, your harvest is not very good?" The tone was frivolous, but more suspicious and interrogative.

"It's nice to be able to save your life." Tang Ling's expression did not change at all, and then he urged a little impatiently: "Open the door." ”

The man put away his smile and opened the iron door, and when Tang Ling walked through the gate, he was still a little unwilling to observe Tang Ling.

Tang Ling was not in a hurry to leave, the bottle of third-level drinking water was well hidden by him, and he didn't have to worry about being found at all, but the notice at the door attracted it.

This is a notice issued by Security Zone 17 to the settlement, informing that tomorrow, the colony's 15-year-old teenagers will meet at the gate of the security zone to participate in the selection of reservists.

"So coincidentally?" Tang Ling was slightly surprised, unable to believe that he would turn 15 tomorrow, and the safety zone would be selected for reserve fighters tomorrow.

In fact, the selection time of reserve fighters is not fixed, but most of them are carried out at the beginning of summer, and this year it seems to be carried out a little earlier, which is clearly the end of spring.

But it didn't matter, Tang Ling was just looking forward to being selected, even if it was just to pass the initial test and enter the fifth reserve camp.

"Tang Ling, do you still expect to become a warrior?" The watchman's sarcastic voice sounded from behind Tang Ling.

In fact, the ratio of teenagers in the settlement who were selected as warriors was almost fifty to one, not to mention that Tang Ling's appearance was not strong.

The man at the gate was happy to laugh at Tang Ling, because there was almost nothing to bargain for from this kid.

Tang Ling turned his head, glanced at the man calmly, turned around and left.

The janitor naturally didn't pay attention, but in a short moment, there was already a fine cold sweat on Tang Ling's forehead.

It appeared, and it appeared again.

Tang Ling's pace quickened, and his fists were secretly clenched in his sleeves.

The familiar, almost all-engulfing one, was churning in its chest again, and it was time for it to hurry.
