Lowe stopped, but didn't look back, he waited for Heidi to continue.

"He was one of the first sleepers of the Cadivan family, having unlocked sixteen pairs of genetic sequences. He had long been hidden in the distant ice fields, but as the Cardivan Predators entered the ice fields, he fled again and fled to the wilderness. ”

"Not every sleeper who refuses to continue sleeping deserves to die."

Lowe thought of Eris, of the deep fear and despair that Eris had shown in the Alik Underpass.

"Looks like my guess was right, you did meet Eris."

Heidi tore the old photo in front of her into countless pieces and threw it into the waste water tank behind her. She didn't want anyone else to see this photo again, and she believed that Luo, who had already seen the photo, had already engraved the old man's appearance in his mind.

"The Caddivon family not only has countless dependents, but also many dependent families, and the Stuart family is one of them. This family, which had hundreds of core clansmen, was slaughtered overnight. The murderer is none other than the patriarch of the Stuart family, the master who has unlocked sixteen pairs of genetic sequences, Renzi Stuart. ”

Lowe turned his head and looked into Heidi's eyes.

Heidi's cold, clear eyes stared at Lo without the slightest dodge.

"Based on the speed at which the genes disintegrate, he now has the strength of a mid-level ability at most, and he's old enough. His weakness made me lose interest in him, and he wasn't my target. But maybe it's a good way to test your ability's potential, after all, he's once a juggernaut! ”

Lowe understood what Heidi meant that abilities may degrade as genes disintegrate, but combat skills and combat experience don't go away. Just like his current self, instinct simply cannot deprive him of his keen perception of danger.

Heidi drips a drop of Lowe's blood onto the unopened second-generation Devourer orb. From now on, this being, which can control a generation of Devourers, will belong to Lo alone until Lo uses or sells it.

This is Heidi's investment, and although the second-generation devourer doesn't even have Heidi herself, she doesn't feel distressed.

Heidi has more than just the Devourer, a mechanical war beast.

The rain that had fallen in the wilderness had diluted the fishy smell of the wilderness, but it also seemed to dilute the mutant creatures of the wilderness that were diurnal and nocturnal. Radiant rain contributes to the decaying bodies of mutated creatures in the wilderness, but also allows more wilderness creatures to lie dormant in their caverns, waiting silently.

Waiting for the end of the mutation of the rain-soaked body, whether it will eventually rot within the cavern, or whether it will become stronger, more ferocious, or even mutate into a new species.

Luo, dressed in a silver-white luster, was quietly lying on the wilderness, staring at a wolf corpse in front of him that had long since left only a miserable white skeleton.

Like most mutated creatures, Lowe was accustomed to hunting in the wilderness at night, though his silvery-white sheen made him a beacon in the dark.

Lowe lost count of how many carrion corpses of mutated creatures he had seen in the wilderness, but it wasn't common to stare at skeletons like he did now.

He smelled a familiar scent from the white, dark green speckled wolf bones.

The toxin peculiar to the mutant spider mother!

The mutant spider mother has been destroyed by the of the Cadivan family, and the toxin on this wolf bone should be the mutant spider that escaped out.

Lowe wondered if the colony of spiders that had lost their mutant mothers still had the ability to reproduce, and if the seemingly accustomed species would finally be able to withstand the crushing of the wheels of elimination in the deteriorating wilderness.

But Lowe's instinct had prioritized the importance of the mutant toxin that could communicate with this group even before the body shape, and instinct was clearly optimistic about this mutant spider group.

Unbeknownst to Lowe, Heidi in the Cardivan Research Base was also staring at him while he was staring at the wolf bones.

Heidi was still standing in front of the big screen, quietly watching the real-time changes in the data of Luo's body.

The silver that covered Luo's whole body and could help him resist the radiant sunlight seemed to be transmitting any changes in Luo's body back to the research base at any time, and transforming it into a constantly jumping number symbol on the screen in front of Heidi.

Luo lay quietly on the wilderness, lying beside this wolf bone, as if listening to the silent heartbeat of the wilderness.

He didn't fully believe what Heidi had to say to him, not even half of it.

Luo's hands were also stained with blood, and he had also brutally killed one opponent after another. Mutated creatures, or anomalous creatures, or even mobs and walking corpses.

Luo's killing is to live, for himself and Yi Neng to exist in this wilderness.

He was reluctant to kill for no reason, like the old man named Renzi Stuart mentioned to Heidi. The wilderness is cruel enough, it's not easy to survive, and everyone who survives has a reason why they have to survive.

Luo still planned to go to this man named Renzi, and he planned to ask the other party, ask the other party why he killed his own people, and then decide whether he lived or died.

For an old man in his last years, although he was once the master, Luo still had the confidence to kill the other party.

In fact, it is not that Luo has this confidence, but his instinct. The moment he saw the old man's photo, the instinct in his body, which seemed to have disappeared for a long time, suddenly became active again.

It's like a mutant wolf that has seen fresh flesh and blood.

The Ruined City is a special place in this wilderness, the Ruined City is not a real city, but a ruin of the same nature as the H913 Gathering Place. It is only because the abandoned city was built on an unfinished military base in the old era, and there are rows of natural barriers formed by the tall mottled concrete walls that survived the nuclear war.

The reason why the ruined city is special is not that its speaker has such high-level abilities, but that in addition to the barrier of the concrete wall, there are countless decaying mutant creatures guarding this city that cannot be called a city.

Maybe it's a mutant wolf that's rotted to the point of rotting flesh and maggots, or maybe it's a mutant jackal that's missing half of its head.

Anyone who wants to destroy the idea of destroying the city has no idea what kind of opponent he will face in the end. This is also the area where the ruined city is not far from Yusai Castle and has never been set foot by Medusa and her soldiers.

It's a gathering place surrounded by decaying creatures, and a gathering place surrounded by the wilderness.

Lowe's goal in the wilderness is the ruined city, which Heidi tells him, and Heidi makes sure that the information is true.

The concrete wall made of cement and gravel has long since been eroded by the wilderness, revealing the pale blue bricks and thick steel bars inside the concrete wall. Looming through the cracks between the cement and bricks, some smaller, mutated creatures had long since decomposed into a pile of corpses of black mud.

A four-legged creature with a strong rancid smell peeked out of the corner of the concrete wall in the distance, revealing most of its body, looking at Luo Yaoyao who was standing on top of the wilderness.

It is a medium-sized decaying creature, somewhat like a mutant wolf, but it has a much longer neck than a mutant wolf and a relatively short body. And unlike most wolf creatures, its forelimbs are well developed, and its hind limbs are a few points shorter than those of the forelimbs, and they are more fragile.

It was supposed to be a hyena when it was alive.

Its body was so badly decomposed that all that was left of its head was a pale skull, and the crumbling skin of its body lay limply on the skeleton of its back, swaying from side to side from time to time with its movements.

The rotting corpse that should have been submerged in the sand of the wilderness did not leave the land with the passage of life, just like the walking corpse that Luo had seen in the abandoned nuclear power plant.

The rotting hyena crouched at the entrance to the concrete wall, staring at Luo with his dark eyes.

Lowe hesitated.

He was not surprised that the hyena was rotting away, the wilderness was a mysterious and eternal place, with walking corpses and, of course, walking beasts.

What he hesitated was that the rotten hyena that was looking at him from a distance seemed to be faintly conveying something.

The hyena didn't bark or make any noise, and didn't even move its crouching body, but Lowe was sure he understood it.

There's nothing you're looking for, so go, Wilderness Man.

If the person he was looking for wasn't here, Luo might have turned around and left.

He wasn't weak enough to be scared off by a rotting hyena.

Lo stepped up and walked towards the rotting creature crouching at the entrance to the concrete wall.

As Luo approached the tall cement wall on the outskirts of the ruined city, a series of hyenas of different sizes and decay from the previous hyena slowly walked out at the entrance of the cement wall.

Hyenas live in groups, even after they rot!

Behind the hyena pack, Lowe even saw a huge rotting jackal with its entrails dragged out of the ground.

The battle didn't last long, these beings were mostly rotten, and their combat strength was not proportional to their disgusting appearance.

Lowe stood among the bones and carrion on the ground, and waited until none of the rotting beings pounced on him before he walked to the entrance to the concrete wall.
