Mountain zoos are among the 88 regions in the southern continent, and the risk factor is among the highest, the most important is that there are too many mutant creatures here, plus the deformed human race needs to suck bone marrow to survive, and the ability of human beings has been increasing over time, and it is becoming more and more difficult to hunt, resulting in most of their food sources relying on those mutated creatures.

So now it's also a paradise for deformed people.

The high-walled city in the center was also slowly abandoned due to the gradual growth of the deformed population, and people moved out of the mountain zoo one after another to live in the main city of Thousand Eyes Lake next door.

The deformed race has a trait, they are afraid of water, and the Thousand Eyes Lake is full of lakes, so it is a good refuge for people, but it is certainly not absolute.

After all, the danger of the apocalyptic world does not only come from those mutated creatures, but also from the climate.

Qianyan Lake is the most important area affected by the climate, where it rains most of the year in the year, and the rain contains slow-moving toxins, although it will not be immediately fatal, but long-term rain will lead to the gradual loss of basic functions of human organs, IQ decline, weakness of limbs, and finally failure and death.

The average life expectancy of the residents of Thousand Eyes Lake has remained around thirty-five years for hundreds of years.

Of course, the rain is not the most important, the thunder and lightning that accompanies it when it rains are the most feared by the residents of Thousand Eyes Lake, and the torrent of thunder and lightning that densely covers the entire Thousand Eyes Lake will shatter the heads of all living things, including humans.

Therefore, the main urban area of Thousand Eyes Lake is different from most other areas, people build the city underground, and the underground blocks that extend in all directions can accommodate hundreds of thousands of residents to live at the same time, but due to the dense population, resulting in a large shortage of food, people have to come to the mountain zoo on a sunny day to catch prey, and some of them will become food for the deformed human race, and will never return to the human city.

Despite this, there are still many people who are tired of living in fear and killing every day, and choose to go there for a few years to live a stable life when their lives enter the countdown.

The destination of Song Yin's trip is Thousand Eyes Lake.

He wasn't worried about the fact that the food he had hoarded in the cards had bottomed out, as the mountain zoo had enough food for him to eat for the rest of his life, as long as he hunted enough beasts to survive the surpluses of Eleven Months at Thousand Eyes Lake.

Now his biggest concern is drinking water.

As early as the end of the world, water has become one of the most scarce resources in the world.

A clean underground river, in this era, is enough to cause a large-scale unrest, and all kinds of power organizations will pour out, and the bigwigs of the central garden city will occasionally intervene. But often, after sacrificing hundreds or thousands of Adepts, environmental safety consultants tell people the sad news that the river is polluted and undrinkable.

This kind of thing happens from time to time on the six continents, and people have gone through countless futile efforts, but they still flock to every source of water news.

One can imagine how scarce water has become.

The cage that Song Yin took to sleep was left under the rubble, and getting a good night's sleep in the past few days has become his biggest worry.

Although the physique of the supernatural has evolved and can remain sleepless for several days, if the person does not rest for a long time, the human spirit is prone to fatigue, which causes a decrease in perception.

In the mountain zoo, but one crisis at a time, it is easy to stray into the Jedi if you don't concentrate, so Song Yin weighed it for two days and decided to go back to the ruins of the temple. Although the iron cage can't stop the small mutant creatures like the vertical frog, it is quite effective at blocking some large beasts that are lone behind.

After resting overnight in an abandoned beast cave, the next morning, Song Yin began to walk back.

Since the terrain of the entire mountain zoo has not changed much, there are barren mountains and mountains everywhere at a glance, just like copying and pasting, after walking for three hours with his head covered, Song Yin sadly found that he was lost.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and it was obviously unwise to rush at night, so Song Yin had no choice but to give up this idea and rush back again, but fortunately he left a hand, and the way back was marked by him in advance.

Just as Song Yin approached the cave where he had been resting before, several pairs of messy human footprints on the ground caught his attention.

In the past few days, the mountain zoo has been drizzling intermittently, and the ground is very wet, so the footprints of those pairs are obvious, two large and one small, which seems to be a combination of two men and one woman. Wearing ordinary hard-soled rubber boots, this kind of shoes are moisture-proof and wear-resistant, they are the general goods of the six continents, and Song Yin is also wearing this kind of boots.

However, because the texture is too hard, it will be very uncomfortable to walk for a long time, and the soft rubber boots with a relatively high price will be chosen if the general condition is good.

From this point of view, these three should be an ordinary adventurous team, and they came to the Mountain Zoo to complete the points mission issued by the Central Garden City, after all, for all human abilities, the road to recovery has an attraction that people can't refuse.

It was already dark, and the cries of wild beasts continued to sound all around, and in the darkness, countless mutated creatures began to burrow out of their nests to forage for food, Song Yin didn't think about it for too long, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

The entrance to the cave had been blocked by the three of them with stones and dead tree trunks, and before Song Yin could make a move, a man's alert voice came from inside.

"Who?"

"Uh......"

Song Yin was a little confused and didn't know how to answer.

Even if they tell their names, they may not know themselves, and if these people have seen the Eastern Bounty List, they will definitely not put a bounty of 200,000 yuan, and they will inevitably have to fight to the death.

But not to mention that it is estimated that these people will not easily let themselves in, in this case, it will be a little dangerous to find a place to rest, after thinking about it, he said: "Don't be nervous, I am a resident of Phoenix Valley, I lived here for two days before, and I didn't have time to come back when I went out to find food during the day today, if you have no opinion, let me rest here for one night, and I will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

The three of them were silent for a long time, probably discussing whether to let Song Yin in, and finally the woman opened her mouth.

"Forget it, let him in, it's not easy to go out, besides, this is the place he found first, we are doves occupying the magpie's nest."

After the consent of the three of them, Song Yin moved the stones at the entrance of the cave and got into it.

Sure enough, his guess was right, the two men and one woman in front of him were wearing torn rubber boots, their clothes were patched everywhere, their faces were dirty, all three of them were very thin, there was not much flesh on their bodies, their cheeks were sunken, their lips were chapped, but the three pairs of eyes were big and bright.

The three men were between twenty-five and thirty-five years of age, each with a strangely shaped scimitar pinned to his waist, a pendant made of beast's teeth on his chest, and a forehead band of different colors on his forehead.

Looking at their outfits, Song Yin had already guessed that these three people should be from the Western Continent.

It is also the least populous people on the entire planet Z.

At the same time that Song Yin was looking at the three of them, the three of them were also looking at him, what they didn't expect was that the man who broke into the mountain zoo alone was so young.

To be precise, he can only be regarded as a boy, only eighteen or nineteen years old, his cheeks have obvious sunspots due to the long sun, although the skin is dark, but it shows a healthy color, his body is thin but not weak, and his eyes reveal some cunning unique to young people, but he knows how to restrain the light.

"Thank you, three."

Song Yin nodded, his eyes swept over the three rodents on the bonfire, and finally stopped at a wooden bowl in the corner of the wall, which contained half a bowl of red liquid, which was animal blood.

In the absence of water, people mostly drink animal blood to maintain the water needed by their bodies, but the blood of most mutated beasts contains a lot of substances that are harmful to the human body, and people will not take this risk unless they have to.

In this way, it seems that these three flower-cavity people have reached the end of their rope and have been forced to the point where they have to drink the blood of beasts.

Sensing Song Yin's gaze, the middle-aged man in the lead had a slightly embarrassed expression, and moved a step to the side to block the wooden bowl.

"Little brother is too polite." He laughed dryly, his dark and thin cheeks showing layers of wrinkles that he shouldn't have seen because of this smile, and his lips cracked several times because of it.

Song Yin pinched a card, looked at the clean and clear eyes of the three of them, and struggled for a long time, and finally took out a part of the little drinking water he left.

"This water is clean, drink it." Song Yin took out a water bladder and shook it, and in order to take care of the face of the three of them, he added, "I will be the reward for you to take me in." ”

The common denominator of the Flower Cavity is that they do not easily accept handouts from others, and for them, alms are a contempt for the weak, and the racial characteristics engraved in their bones do not allow them to do so.

Therefore, even though the three of them had already had dry throats and dry lips and were thirsty, they still endured not to pick up Song Yin's water bladder.

Song Yin smiled, pointed to one of the rodents that had been roasted to golden oil, and said, "Of course, this water is not for you, I have been hungry for a day, I will exchange a bite to eat with you, I think you should not lose this deal." ”

Although the three of them are stubborn, they are not stupid, and they understand that since this boy dares to go deep into the mountain zoo alone, he will not stutter less, and he is looking for steps for them.

The leading man hesitated for a moment, and saw that the two companions were staring at the water bladder in the boy's hand, licking his lips, gritting his teeth, pressing his hands to his chest, and performing the highest etiquette of the flowery clan.

"My name is Yue Hai, these two are my companions, Kushan and Huagu, we are from the Huacao clan. Little brother, your gift will be remembered by the three of us for the rest of our lives. ”

Kushan and Huagu also used the highest etiquette of the Huacao clan to salute Song Drink sincerely.

Song Yin waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Yuehai, you are serious, just half a pot of water, there is no need for this." ”

Give them water, Song Yin came to his heart and couldn't bear it, but in fact, he also had a thought, he knew the Huaxiang people, he was honest and stubborn, but he also made the most important promise, he could get their friendship, if he was in trouble in the future, they would definitely do everything to help him, and he would leave an extra way back for himself.
