- Location: The edge of the Oasis Canyon in Delta Desert Area C

- Weather: Sunny (temperature drops)

– Visibility: Medium

"Hurry up, this place is not suitable for a long time." Li Ziyue said, put the pistol in his hand into the holster on the edge of his thigh, and held the mountain knife in both hands to directly cut off all kinds of obstacles in the direction of progress.

"Damn, these bushes, there are too many, if you go back the way you came, there won't be so much to do!" Li Ziyue took a sip, "It's all to blame on that glutton, it's annoying!" ”

"Are you troublesome? Let me come, hide behind me! Saiyin instantly sped up his speed, almost as soon as the words fell, his figure was in front of Li Ziyue, and the big shield was suddenly pushed in front of him, all the thorny shrubs could not break through the defense of the big shield, and directly rushed forward, I have to say that this shield made of No. 14 alloy is expensive.

The shield itself is extremely massive, and in the case of a rapid charge, with huge kinetic energy, the low and slender shrubs in front of it can't resist at all, and it is cut off by the edge of the shield before it even has time to bend.

The edge of the shield is not a protective cover like the traditional shield, but has been made into the previous sharp edge, which is not much more than the knife, which is why the opponent's fist smashed on the big shield and left immediately when he fought with the glutton.

Otherwise, if the opponent pushes all the way down, Saiyin will be directly pressed into a patty, right?

"I'll go, you are so powerful, don't say it sooner!" Li Ziyue complained and kept up with Saiyin, and now, the speed of action was much faster for a while, compared to Li Ziyue taking the mountain knife and slashing left and right, it was like changing from a car to an airplane.

"I'll go, it's really time for this system prompt!" Li Ziyue rolled her eyes, and then followed behind Saiyin with her gun, in the wilderness, there was no supplement, and now there was still a great shortage of water, "Damn, if it goes on like this, it's really over!" ”

"Saiyin, don't run!" Li Ziyue stopped suddenly, instantly pulled out the pistol on the side of his thigh, quickly pushed it and loaded it, and then looked around vigilantly.

"What's wrong?" Saiyin stopped, and the micro chong hanging on his waist was also taken down, Saiyin did not carry a backpack like Li Ziyue, so the shuttle micro chong that had just beaten the gluttonous had already used up the ordinary bullets, which was still based on the addition of a huge expansion magazine, and the bullet capacity reached one hundred and eighty.

"Something is wrong around, it's so quiet!" Li Ziyue said, her ink-colored eyes completely integrated with the environment, slightly reflective.

The two of them had been running for half an hour, but there were still bushes in sight in front of them, and there was no sound around them.

"Huh? It's night, isn't it normal? Saiyin looked around, "Are you nervous too much, I just feel like these animals are asleep." ”

"Nope." Li Ziyue shook her head, "You've been in the desert for so long, and you don't know any common sense?" Most of the creatures in the desert are nocturnal, and now should be the busiest time! ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Saiyin also frowned, "You say that, I really think something is wrong, you must know that the oasis is not so large in the desert!" ”

"And, most importantly, we've been around for so long, do you see any water sources?" Li Ziyue asked.

"Nope." Saiyin shook his head, and there was no water source on the way from the edge of the cliff, "Could it be underground?" ”

"......" Li Ziyue leaned down, put her head on the ground and listened, then got up and said, "No way, there is no water flow within 200 meters underground, this is my hearing limit, and it is impossible for the plant root system to reach that deep." ”

"But......" Saiyin wanted to explain something, but Li Ziyue covered her mouth, "Wait, listen." ”

Both of them closed their breath and held their breath, and in the air, there was a faint birdsong.

"Will there be birds in the desert?" Li Ziyue opened her eyes and asked.

"Yes?" Sain replied, "I saw in Hera's notebook that there was a bird called the white-tailed ground jay. ”

"Did you hear that?" Li Ziyue turned her head and looked at Saiyin.

"What?" Saiyin was puzzled, "Don't sell it, I feel like it!" ”

"There are birds." Li Ziyue said, looking at the sky with a serious expression, "And there are quite a few of them, it is estimated that they are the calls of a large group of birds." ”

"I'll go, are you really a non-viral infector?" Sain asked, "Hearing is even better than mine?" ”

"Oh, space, let me know everything!" Li Ziyue pretended to be mysterious, yes, the reason why I was able to hear this unusual sound was largely due to the heart of space, the wandering space particles were omnipresent, and they were the best ears and eyes.

"It's a pity that the mental power is limited, and now it covers a range of 100 meters at most, and the error is still very large." Li Ziyue shook her head, raised her gun, and said to Saiyin, "We'd better go faster, I don't know what is in front, and there is definitely danger in the rear." ”

"yes, I understand." Saiyin nodded, "Then let's go!" ”

"Wait." Li Ziyue shook her head, then reached into her pocket and took out a bullet casing, as a sniper, concealing your whereabouts is also a compulsory course, so Li Ziyue has long developed the habit of collecting bullet casings.

"Ugh." Li Ziyue stabbed the bullet casing into the ground hard, then found a larger bush, and then cut it off, "Let's go, get out of this damn place!" ”

"Good!" Saiyin nodded, picked up the big shield and rushed out first.

- 3 minutes after the two left -

"Whoa!" Suddenly, the fallen bush had a series of strange shaking, and then, it actually stood up on its own, and the green leaves did not look like a bush that had just been cut down.

“Chui！ Chui！ Chui！ Suddenly, there were several bird calls in the air, followed by a large number of cries, and a large number of black shadows fell from the sky.

Li Ziyue didn't listen to anything outside the window, so naturally she had never been in contact with these protected animals, so when she heard the white-tailed ground jay, she just thought it was a fictitious bird in the game, and she didn't care very much.

The white-tailed ground jays are faintly led by a black white-tailed ground jay at the forefront, their eyes are eeriely blood-red, and their sharp beaks are even stained with blood.

“Chui！” The black mutant screamed, and in an instant all the white-tailed ground crows rose into the air, flying towards the slowly passing passage that had been artificially carved out.

-- Dividing line --

"Sain, can you be faster?" Li Ziyue and Saiyin were not calm at this time, on the contrary, they were very embarrassed, walking through the dense bushes, the two of them had traveled thousands of meters above the GPS navigator, and they were already in the most desolate D area above the navigator, but at this time there were still large shrubs in front of them.

"What's wrong?" Saiyin said, without stopping, and the shield destroyed all the bushes that stood in its way, opening a path that only allowed one person to pass.

"The birds are catching up, and if I'm not mistaken, these guys are mutants too!" Li Ziyue said, throwing the navigator in his hand directly to the ground, "Damn, the navigator is completely wrong, the magnetic field here is too weird!" ”

"Saiyin, did you feel anything?" Li Ziyue asked, "There is no magnetite here, so it stands to reason that the magnetic field should not be so strong!" ”

"The bushes seem to have hardened a lot, and I feel like something is watching us." Saiyin said, and his footsteps did not stop.

"Wait, you said these bushes are hardening?" Li Ziyue frowned, and suddenly realized something, "Are you sure?" ”

"Hmm. I could have been able to run, but now I have to take one step at a time against these guys! Sain said.

"Stop and let me take a look." Li Ziyue said, took out the probe in the backpack, and thanked the white-faced owl in the warehouse again in his heart, this time the equipment is very complete, in case the other party is perfunctory, he may be cold when he fights with the glutton, you must know that the armor-piercing ability of depleted uranium bullets is not comparable to ordinary armor-piercing bullets.

"Drop!" The moment the probe touched the branch, it revealed that the detected objects were all organic compounds composed of carbon, hydroxide, and oxygen, and there was nothing strange about it.

"Delusion? No, try again! Li Ziyue thought about it, took out the mountain knife, cut off a branch, and then put the probe deep into the xylem of the branch.

Fe (2 and 3 valence)

Fe2O3

"Iron ions? Ferric oxide? It seems that I was not mistaken. Li Ziyue suddenly realized, "It turns out that you are the culprit who really disturbs the magnetic field!" ”

"Wait, it seems, what's else?" Li Ziyue looked at the probe, and of course, the electronic display screen once again showed a new substance:

Pt

"Platinum?" Li Ziyue tilted her head, feeling bad for a while, and then looked back, sure enough, the road behind was slowly closing and finally disappearing!

"Damn, it's memory metal!" Li Ziyue instantly knew the astonishing status of the xylem among these trees - that is, the strange combination of magnets and memory alloys!

"But where does this desert come from with iron and platinum?" Li Ziyue still remembers that in the metal activity ranking, platinum is second to last after gold.

"I heard that this area used to be an iron ore mine, but it was bought by Anlei and was not used for mining." "It seems that there were a lot of special plants planted here at that time, and it was this low shrub. ”

"Damn, it turns out that it's all the ghosts of this Anlei company!" Li Ziyue gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, "We have to leave quickly, these shrubs have memory alloy in them, and when you walked forward, they were not cut off at all, but only temporarily bent, and there was no road behind us!" ”

Saiyin suddenly turned around, and sure enough, the branches behind him magically re-erected from the ground, and then directly spliced back, and there was not the slightest wound to be seen.

"I guess these shrubs are also carriers of the virus!" Li Ziyue frowned and said, "We can't go around here anymore, go back the same way!" ”

"Are you sure?" Saiyin frowned, "There's no road behind now!" ”

"We can't move forward, the magnetic material in these shrubs increases proportionally as we move forward, the further we go, the stronger the magnetic field interference, and in the end it is likely that our bullets will not be able to shoot out!" Li Ziyue frowned and said, "Don't forget that your bullet is a steel-core armor-piercing bullet, and there is also an iron element in it." ”

"Wouldn't it? You must know that the steel core is an alloy, and there are not many iron elements, right? Saiyin wondered.

"There's no time to talk nonsense, the devil knows how strong the magnetic field in the central area is, we can't go deeper, otherwise it's a bottomless pit!" Li Ziyue said, picked up the mountain knife, rushed towards the bushes behind that had not had time to "heal", and ran all the way back.

"Whoa!" The sharp mountain knife directly cut off the branches of the shrubs, and the memory metal and magnet components in these shrubs did not reach a large level, but only appeared in the cell fluid in a free state, so there was basically no need to worry about the mountain knife not being able to cut it.

“Chui！” Suddenly, a bird's cry came from the air, followed by a louder and louder flapping of wings.

"Damn, I really guessed it!" Li Ziyue gritted her silver teeth, and her whole person was not good in an instant, because in front of her, there was an overwhelming flock of birds, looking at the Yazi of these guys, it was obvious that the person who came was not good!

"What's the matter, white-tailed ground jaugs won't take the initiative to attack humans!" Saiyin wondered.

"These guys ate the flesh of the infected creatures we killed before!" Li Ziyue gritted her teeth and said, "Damn, now it's very likely that they are also infected with the G virus, or already have a desire for flesh and blood." ”

"So what do we do?" Sain asked.

"Find a way to hide!" Li Ziyue said, "My sniper rifle is not a flamethrower, even if it is a flamethrower, it will not have any effect in the face of this number of birds!" Li Ziyue said, remembering the biochemical apocalyptic disaster movie that once exploded, in which the flock of mutant birds that covered the sky and the sun directly left a team of survivors without bones.

"But we don't seem to have anywhere to hide." Saiyin looked around and said.

"......" Li Ziyue was silent, both sides stared at each other, no one moved first, the birds because they had seen humans slaughter their companions, so they didn't dare to move for a while, Li Ziyue dared to promise that as long as he took a step back, he would be torn to pieces by the swarming birds in an instant!

"Ding, ding, ding!" Suddenly, a communicator rang behind Sain.

“？” Li Ziyue looked at Saiyin suspiciously.

Seyin turned on the communicator behind him and connected the call.

“chui！” When the other party saw Saiyin move, he instantly thought that he was going to make a move, and he called directly, and the birds flew into the sky in an instant.

"Zero, Sain, where are you?" Hera's voice came over the communicator.

"We are in Area C, as for where it is, we don't know, the magnetic field here is too strong, and the GPS positioning is completely ineffective." Saiyin replied, the birds in the sky are screaming, you are actually calling below?
