Chapter 43: Gothic Town

"Okay, I'll draw you an easy map!" Catherine finally spoke.

Five minutes later, Zhang Le continued on his way and received a pair of outdoor sneakers from Tom. Thirty kilometers upstream along the riverbed is a mountain range. The mountain peak is more than 1,000 meters high, and there are slides up and down, so you only need to climb the one-sided distance, and after the peak, there is a town with a population of about 3,000.

Time was pressing, and Zhang Le almost trotted towards the east. Zhang Le's physical fitness today is much better than yesterday, although he is still a little sleepy, but it does not affect the speed of travel. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Le finally arrived at the bottom of the mountain.

It used to be an attraction, but the river became much wider in this place, nearly twenty meters wide, and the current became very rapid. If the entire riverbed is water season, the view is sure to be spectacular. There are many houses by the river, and there is indeed a slide rail next to the house, and there is a cable car parallel to the slide, but now there is no electricity, and the cable car naturally has no power.

Zhang Le looked at the top of the mountain hidden in the clouds, shouted "come on" to himself, and then began to walk up the steps near the slide. The steps are not ordinary cement steps, but are hand-hewn, which are very rough and may slip down if you are not careful, but fortunately there is a rope handrail with knotted intervals at the edge of the steps, so it is safe for adults to walk.

The sun was no more than an hour and a half away from setting at most, Zhang Le glanced back at the west, and silently sent a blessing to Catherine's hunter team in his heart, especially to the Tom brother who gave him his boots.

Climbing the mountain is much slower than walking on flat ground, and when Zhang Le climbed to the top of the mountain, although the top of the mountain still has the glow of the setting sun, the foot of the mountain is already dark.

After last night's horrific scene, Zhang Le felt that he was suffering from a dark phobia, and the darkness at the foot of the mountain made him feel very uneasy. Although you can see sporadic lights at the foot of Dongfang Mountain, you are not familiar with the place, and even if you go down the mountain, how to spend the night is a problem. Maybe it's a good idea to stay at the top of the mountain tonight, where it gets dark late and dawns early, and has the most daylight in the neighborhood. As for the accommodation, Zhang Le had already thought about it on the way up the mountain, that is, the cable car hanging on the rope, and there was no safer place than the cable car with air on all sides.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Zhang Le felt that his ideas were more operational. Originally, Zhang Le also planned to climb the cable car by throwing a rope around the cable, but when he arrived at the top of the mountain, he found that there was a special cable car riding point on the top of the mountain, and he could climb directly onto the cable car along the cable.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Le climbed onto a cable car more than 20 meters from the top of the mountain, just as the sun was setting. Zhang Le breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally had a safe place to sleep. After hastily eating some moth meat and a coconut, Zhang Le, who had not rested for two days, lay on the padded seat in the cable car and fell asleep.

"Sister Fei, it is also an injection of comprehensive strengthening gene medicine, why is Zhang Le's vitality stronger?" A delicate girl appeared in Zhang Le's dream. Zhang Le felt that this person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember the name.

"Zhang Le often goes out to do tasks, and it is normal for him to evolve more perfectly under the stimulation of a dangerous environment." A cold curly-haired beauty said lightly.

"Director Zhao, will it violate anything if we use Zhang Le's one to do embryonic development experiments?" It was still the delicate girl who was asking.

"My experimental method is what the orthodox school of thought is advocating, and there is nothing ethically wrong with it. Even Ouyang Ji's kind of research is acceptable. Some other countries and organizations are eager for quick success and quick profit, and the things they come up with are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts, and that is the most dangerous! Gao Leng Meinu explained, paused, and continued: "However, according to the normal procedure, this kind of experiment should be informed to Zhang Le, hehe!" ”

The beautiful woman also covered her mouth and laughed.

Names jumped out of Zhang Le's mind, Zhao Fei, Zha Xiaoxia, Ouyang Ji, Zhuge Chen, Li Jun, Zhang Houde, Wang Zhigao, Wang Daqing, Chen Zhiming.

"I returned home on the Lychee with the last of the Ice Dragon Base members, and then I ...... Killed by the Flying Ant Queen. Zhang Le, who was sleeping, finally remembered the cause and effect, and his whole body emitted a white silver light at this time, the small cable car was bright, and the moth meat in the basket instantly turned into charcoal after touching the white light, and the last coconut in the basket grew a small tree from the germination hole, which was a miniature version of the coconut tree.

The sky was bright and the morning sun was rising, Zhang Le had already woken up, but he didn't open his eyes and recalled all the new memories thoroughly. It turns out that everything that the body experiences is automatically memorized by the brain, but usually, many unconscious body memories will disappear forever if they are not activated. Activation requires specific conditions, but Zhang Le's current body does not need to be activated to get all the memories of the body.

Zhang Le, who had cleared his mind, opened his eyes and saw a touch of pleasing green.

The way down the mountain is much easier. There is a simple swing hanging under the slide, just sit on the swing and rely on gravity to quickly reach the bottom of the mountain.

Zhang Le was corroded by the acid spewed by the queen ant and fell into the sea water when death came, and the sea water diluted the acid, and Zhang Le finally saved his life. In the process of falling into the deep sea, Zhang Le was swallowed by a whale again. The whale took Zhang Le's body and swam in the sea, but the white light skill generated by the "Life Seed" injected by Zhao Fei into Zhang Le could ignore the defense and absorb animal energy to replenish himself or plants, saving Zhang Le's life at a critical moment.

Unfortunately, this whale is an ordinary mutated creature, which can only repair the damage to the body, but not the damage to Zhang Le's brain. When Zhang Le was brought to the shore by the hollowed whale carcass, Zhang Le, who had picked up his life, actually happened to obtain moth meat, which is a dominant mutant organism with special active substances in his body, which also played a decisive role in Zhang Le's final recovery from injury.

Zhang Le, who had returned to his original appearance, walked easily and observed the town in front of him. The town is a typical European-style town, with many Gothic buildings built on both sides of the side streets, which are very different from the tribal towns in Africa, but Zhang Le is relieved to think that this place should belong to the former South Africa. There are most pubs and inns in the town, and Zhang Le is penniless, and he doesn't know what currency these people use. However, Zhang Le was not completely unprepared, and before coming down from the top of the mountain, Zhang Le picked a lot of red wild fruits on a tree on a steep cliff, and the taste was quite good. Zhang Le believes that no matter what time it is, food is always hard currency, and even if it can't be sold, it can solve his own food and clothing problem.

Zhang Le, who was alone, attracted the attention of many people, but everyone was just curious, and no one stepped forward to pay attention to him. Zhang Le's figure is lean and toned, and he has also experienced a lot of killings, his eyes are sharp and full of murder, and he easily holds a huge bison horn in his right hand. There are the most white people in the town, and there are also a small number of blacks, all of whom are armed with weapons, and each of them is very strong, and none of them are pampered characters. However, it may also be because of this reason that these people's eyes are also very vicious, and they will not provoke people like Zhang Le casually.

"It seems that it is really not easy to survive in the last days!" Zhang Le saw the situation in front of him and said secretly in his heart. Before the nuclear war, most of the modern people Zhang Le saw at that time were muscle relaxed, and small bellies abounded, but now, looking at it, they are all ruthless and heroic. What's even stranger is that most of the pedestrians on the street wear exaggerated heavy makeup, black eye circles, black lip gloss, pale skin and messy hairstyles.

Zhang Le didn't think much about it, maybe it was a way for humans in the last days to express their feelings. It's a bit like the non-mainstream funeral family style in China.
