A prosperous city is a symbol of the healthy development of civilization, if there is a significant abnormality in the city, it means that the locals are either in trouble or at war, this is still known to Nangong Rong, but at this moment, the situation of the city in front of him, no matter how you look at it, has nothing to do with the two situations that the boy knows, it seems to have been completely flattened by some giant monster and abandoned by the residents, and it is already a dead city without any life.

What's worse than the city is the weather here, thick dark clouds cover the entire sky, causing almost no sunlight, the surface blows a fierce wind that never seems to stop, sand and dirt fill every corner of the atmosphere, and the temperature is also relatively low, if it weren't for the wreckage of the building next to it, Nangong Rong would not believe that there would be life in this place.

Or, was there ever life?

"I'll it, this is completely different from the apocalyptic scene we imagined, hey!" Nangong Rong, who had finally dealt with the sand and foreign objects, couldn't help but sigh and said with a painful face, "What about a gun, a dog and a city full of collapsed buildings, it's better to get an underground shelter." ”

At the front of the team, Lin Weiyin, who searched the surroundings several times with a detector and didn't find anything abnormal, couldn't help but turn around and look at his cheap brother when he heard this, and said angrily and funny: "Okay, the game is the game, the reality is the reality, don't get confused." It's not always possible to have this kind of low-visibility scenario in the game, but it's normal in reality, after all, the world has been ploughed by nuclear weapons. ”

"Radiation and smoke that blocks sunlight kill many plants, and the climate of the planet without vegetation becomes very bad, leading to a vicious cycle. I understand the truth, but it's not romantic at all, how can it be cultivated!" Nangong Rong hugged his head and sighed loudly, "Return the broken and poignant post-apocalyptic scenery that I am looking forward to!"

This guy definitely has some kind of misunderstanding about nuclear Armageddon. Lin Weiyin wanted to walk over and stand on tiptoe and grab her cheap brother's ear to tell him the harm caused to the environment by washing the ground with nuclear weapons, but after seeing the surrounding scene, the girl immediately gave up this plan, because compared to the locals who had played with herself, the nuclear bombs she dropped in her hometown were like firecrackers.

If you really want to criticize and educate Nangong Rong, it is more convincing to find a local survivor to talk about it.

So, how exactly can we find the survivors? Lin Weiyin ignored the cheap brother who was almost rolling on the ground, and glanced at the fragments of the buildings nearby that were severely weathered and couldn't even be called ruins, and then made a mistake: "Let's not mention these things first, what should we do next, just just wander around casually?"

The Alliance only made the simplest probe of this plane, and then stopped paying attention, so the Golden Retriever didn't know the specifics of this place, and couldn't make any helpful suggestions. Nangong Rong is the kind of strange state that used the money saved from eating instant noodles to buy a bad game full of bugs and came back to tears, and the three-headed body in red was almost a wooden sign with the words "playing soy sauce", and the little girl's sentence was actually asked by Octavier.

The eldest princess didn't care much about this, after all, they were only here to scout the enemy and not to survive in the wilderness, and they didn't need to rack their brains to save the world like the horse monkey shochu, so it didn't matter what they did on the premise of ensuring their own safety.

"Well, this looks like a city, so let's go inside the city first. Even if it is washed by a nuclear bomb and weathered for an unknown amount of time, the city will not simply die after all, and there may be something left in it. And if there are any survivors, a dilapidated dwelling that is even leaky and crumbling is much better than sleeping in the wild. ”

Octavir had a point, and there seemed to be no better option for now, so the group immediately agreed to the girl's offer and walked deeper into the city.

Navigating the sand wind was not an easy task, and even more so after Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess had put away the barrier. It can't be helped, this wind has no intention of stopping, and the girl can't waste all her magic on maintaining the shield barrier - she is not here to practice, and she can't get along with the power of nature.

Fortunately, Lin Weiyin, who was wearing power armor, was not afraid of the wind and dust, but it was much easier to have her in front of everyone to block everyone, otherwise Nangong Rong really doubted that the red-clothed three-headed body who had always pulled Octavier's skirt dancing with the wind would be swept away by the wind directly.

There are large cracked fields of earth underneath, and you can't see the cement asphalt that used to be laid in the city, if the paving materials used by the locals are really these things. In any case, it felt almost indistinguishable from the wilderness, and the crowd was walking along the broken and dilapidated building fragments on both sides, without which they would have been deviated or even lost.

The only consoling discovery is that the environment of this world, no matter how bad it is, still has creatures, such as the plants that grow in the cracks of building debris, such as the palm-sized black-brown Xiaoqiang that is bound to appear in a similar scene, such as the flower that emerges from the rock show.

The last flower is actually difficult not to notice, first of all, it is just a bud that has not yet bloomed, but the diameter of the bud is already the size of a basin, and secondly, the rock where it is rooted is still in the middle of the [road] to block everyone, and you can see it from afar.

What appeared in front of everyone seemed to be a pile of rubble, with many irregular rocks of various shapes and sizes scattered in the middle of the road, as if a building had collapsed directly on the road and shattered. This huge bud grows on the surface of one of the rocks, on the wind-facing side of the rock, to be exact, and is directly face-to-face with the people walking against the wind.

"There are actually flowers, what kind of insect does it want to pollinate, cockroaches?" Lin Weiyin walked to the red bud and looked at the other party curiously and said, "It's hard to come here, if you don't bring some samples back to Mira to do research, it is estimated that she will complain for a long time, so I will take this thing as the collection object." ”

Nangong Rong couldn't help but smile and stretched out his hand to stop the cheap sister: "Wait, no one knows if there will be danger." Even if it's not dangerous, wouldn't it be ruining one's life if it could produce nectar or something that the survivors in the city would live on?"

In this kind of environment where all life is half-dead, every little bit of resources is very precious, not to mention that the size of this bud is so huge, the little girl really wants to dig it up, I am afraid that it will not directly destroy the nearby ecology and lead to the death of a piece, and finally affect the possible survivors.

Lin Weiyin, who was blocked by the teenager, also reacted, and retracted her hand with a smile: "Ahaha, I'm sorry to get used to it, I was taught bad by Mira." ”

The glasses lady is estimated to have sneezed so much that even the glasses have slipped off and shattered, hey!

However, Nangong Rong's words were not able to be spoken, because before he opened his mouth, Hua Bao, who was slightly touched by Lin Weiyin's hand, opened his mouth first.

That's right, it's the mouth, what is presented in front of everyone after the buds bloom is not a bright flower, but a mouth full of fishy mucus and a needle-like structure that resembles teeth, and it bites straight towards Lin Weiyin.

The sudden change stunned everyone and caught them off guard, and the speed of the bud was so fast that no one had time to react, and could only watch as the man-eating flower snapped and bit on the iron plate.

Power armor is still an air combat suit suitable for most scenes, and the protection is not so reassuring, but it is by no means something that this mutant plant can bite through, Nangong Rong, who was still frightened and worried, suddenly changed into an embarrassed and speechless expression after hearing a series of clicks that seemed to be needle-like objects breaking.

The poor man-eater shrank back in pain, and immediately slipped into the rock as soon as she realized that she had provoked something more powerful, leaving only a black hole outside, and the slippery appearance could not help but remind the boy of a loach.

While activating the stain removal device on the surface of the power armor to clean up the mucus of those disgusting people, Lin Weiyin looked at the cheap brother with black lines very indifferently and asked unhurriedly: "Producing nectar, providing nutrients for nearby creatures, and the key to the survival of the survivors in the city?"

"Can we stop mentioning this, I felt the presence of abyssal energy in that guy's body the moment he opened his mouth, quickly fish it out and peel it off to see what is going on. ”

The little girl naturally felt very dissatisfied with someone's deliberate change of topic, but Nangong Rong would never joke about things related to the abyss, and the enemy seeking system of the power armor just now also issued a warning, Lin Weiyin also let go of her cheap brother and sprinkled all her anger on the rocks.

It's just that what happened next was once again beyond everyone's expectations, after Lin Weiyin raised her arm and smashed it on the rock, the rock suddenly cracked and splashed countless fragments in all directions - this thing turned out to be hollow. But if you think about it, it seems right, if it's solid, how can the man-eating flower make a home in it?

The only problem was that the rock was too brittle, and it was smashed with a punch, and it was more like a lump of dried earth than a rock, and it couldn't stand the blow of a hammer.

After the rock was smashed, Lin Weiyin couldn't see the situation inside, so she had to scratch it a few times casually, and finally seemed to have caught something, and pulled it out with a hard pull.

A very corroded metal strip is not a steel bar that supports a building, but more like a part of some kind of precision machinery.

"Is it a means of transportation?" "In the middle of the two rows of buildings is naturally the road, and the traffic blocked on the road is naturally the vehicles, Lin Weiyin even figured out what was going on in front of her, "These rocks are all cars, they were blocked here at the time, and then they survived the nuclear explosion, and finally became a warm nest for all kinds of animals and plants?"

As she spoke, the speed of the little girl's hand also sped up a little, and after knowing that the thing in front of her was not a serious rock, the girl naturally had nothing to be polite about, and it was not a problem for her to dismantle the Gundam empty-handed, let alone dismantle the car? In less than half a minute, Lin Weiyin dragged the man-eating flower out of the car, pulled its [neck], picked up its arms, crackled and fell on the ground a few times, and finally successfully quieted the struggling monster completely.

Don't be too fierce in the little girl's performance!

"It's already burping, is it going to be dissected or made into sashimi?" Lin Weiyin, who stepped on the bud with her foot, clapped her hands very casually and asked her cheap brother who was dripping with cold sweat, "Or is it cooked first for the sake of insurance?"

"Give it a few hits with your laser. Nangong Rong showed his steady style like an old dog as always, and instructed the girl very seriously, "I don't want to be bitten off by it suddenly jumping up and biting off my head when I approach this guy, it's enough to have a senior sister or something." ”

Lin Weiyin pouted speechlessly and shrugged her shoulders, and used a laser to cut the entire cannibal flower into several pieces, which made the boy completely relaxed. However, thanks to the little girl's actions, the gray plant monster's internal structure was exposed to the air, and a large translucent liquid soaked the nearby ground, but soon disappeared without a trace under the dry soil and strong winds.

The smell of food attracted a lot of cockroaches, and the two girls in the team couldn't help but frown when they looked at the large insects passing by at their feet. However, surprisingly, these Xiaoqiang only touched it slightly with their tentacles next to the corpse of the cannibal flower, and then they scattered in all directions, where did they come from, and they didn't have any intention of eating at all.

As long as it is a normal creature, it will have a natural vigilance against the abyssal energy, even a brainless paramecium will not touch it casually, and the performance of the cockroach further confirms the existence of the abyssal energy in the body of the man-eating flower.

Nangong Rong squatted down and endured the strange touch coming from his hand, fiddling with the corpse of the man-eating flower, and finally found a bubble-like thing that stored the energy of the abyss near the other party's rhizome. This thing didn't look like it was the product of erosion, but more like it had been transplanted, which made the boy frown.

"It's not a monster infected by natural erosion, it's made!" Nangong Rong shook his hand vigorously to try to shake out the slime, although most of the slime had been dried, "Of course, this monster alone doesn't mean anything, maybe the abyss was left here in a hurry, or it was deliberately left to cause trouble." But in any case, the abyss is not completely clean in this world, and we need to pay attention to it. ”
