"Yes, as if organized and premeditated, this group of epidemic variants is on our way. If you want to get there, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. ”

Looking at the large group of epidemic variants in the distance who finally gave up the chase, Zhou Yang shook his head and said softly.

If he didn't have a mission, he really wanted to wipe out all of this large group of plague variants in order to replenish his reserve of blood crystals.

"Can you fight your way out?"

As a warrior, as the only melee fighter of the seventh squad before Zhou Yang came, the tiger's idea was relatively simple and crude, that is, to kill through directly.

"I would like to, but there are so many variants. If they are trapped somewhere, and the epidemic variants continue to provide support, the seventh team may also follow in the footsteps of others. ”

Li Xiang shook his head and rejected the offer.

They were standing on the dunes and looking into the distance, each racking their brains to think of what to do. If they can't rush over, then they might as well go home.

"Can you walk this way?"

Zhou Yang, who had been looking at the map, suddenly a line appeared in his heart at the moment when he engraved the map in his mind.

"This road has been abandoned for a long time, and I don't know what it has become now."

Li Xiang saw the route that Zhou Yang had drawn, but although this road was a former highway, it had not been repaired for decades because it had been abandoned as early as the alliance period.

"But you can check it out."

Li Xiang said suddenly.

The route that Zhou Yang had found was to go west from their current position, reach the depths of the desert, and then make a detour back.

However, there is a part of this route that is extremely close to the restricted area, the area known as Devil's Mountain.

But at this time, I can't care so much.

"Let's not talk about whether this route can be walked, the epidemic variants along the way must be cleaned up, our speed may not be too fast, so please pay attention to safety."

Before going on the road, Li Xiang made a special admonition. He looked at the fuel gauge on the car, and felt that it should still be able to support them into the inner perimeter of the desert.

"Hmm."

"It's fine."

"Don't worry."

"Hmm."

Several people replied one after another, and then the pickup began to drive due west.

In order to save fuel, all the epidemic variants along the way were cleared by the seventh team, and the pickup truck went on a rampage, heading for the abandoned road.

It took several hours of walking for the car to arrive at the predetermined location. But at the abandoned highway marked by navigation, Zhou Yang and others could only see a piece of yellow sand.

"Is this the road?"

Xu Yufeng looked around, but couldn't find any sign of the road. There is only yellow sand here, and there are a few small dirt bags.

"I guess it's here."

Zhou Yang walked around, and then felt his foot touch something hard, he kicked away the sand and found the lamp head of a street lamp.

The street lamps have long since been abandoned, but this is enough to prove that this is the road that once was.

It's just covered by yellow sand and buried in the desert.

"When you get here, you can't rely on navigation anymore."

Li Xiang frowned, the navigation they were using at this time was all based on the instruments inside Yangcheng.

The satellites in the sky have long since failed, and Yangcheng has long lost contact with the outside. This abandoned highway made Li Xiang a little worried.

"But there's no better way, is there?"

Walked here, Zhou Yang looked at Li Xiang and said seriously.

If the seventh team had been in order to protect themselves, they would have been able to stop coming here, not taking risks, and not approaching the so-called Devil's Mountain.

But it was under such pressure that the group still chose to come here as always, chose to take responsibility, and chose to bear the pressure.

Not everything in this world will develop in a predetermined direction, and Zhou Yang feels that moderate adventure is still necessary.

Although he doesn't quite understand Devil's Mountain.

"That's right, it's all here, what are you afraid of! Ready to go, today, let's set up a tent within the limits of Devil's Mountain! ”

Li Xiang shook his neck, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

Regardless of success or failure, he had worked hard for it, so even if he was buried here this time, he was worthy of the people of Yangcheng.

Zhou Yang didn't know what everyone thought, but he looked at the map, thought about it, and felt that he had almost gone around to a suitable area.

There were a lot of variants here, but they weren't all in groups, unlike the dense ones they'd encountered before.

Strictly speaking, the epidemic variant here is roughly the same as the information obtained by Zhou Yang from traveling in the desert for two months.

The level of density is also acceptable.

The pickup set off again, in order to find the way, this time the pickup was not fast, and by night, they had not found Devil's Mountain.

A group of people camped in place, a few simple little tents, and soon they were set up, and tonight, they would sleep in this desert.

"Hopefully tomorrow when I wake up, my sleeping bag won't be buried alive."

Before going to bed, Zhou Yang told a bad joke that the tent was small, Zhou Yang and Li Xiang and the Tiger were crammed into one tent, while the Xu brothers occupied the other tent.

Only Su Tong was a girl, who occupied a tent alone, and had already gone to sleep before Zhou Yang told a joke.

"No, the wind is light today, so there should be no problem."

Li Xiang shook his head, then looked at the tent that could not be fixed at all, and sighed helplessly.

When they arrived, they could only use the map before the disaster, but until the evening, they could not find the oasis that existed before the disaster.

In desperation, they chose to sleep in the sand.

Zhou Yang stretched, then burrowed into the water bag, his consciousness shifted to the body of the Soul Eater Ancient Tree, and then manipulated the branches to spread around.

He wanted to know what was going on around him, and he wanted to find some valuable mutants and hunt them down.

"One."

A giant sand scorpion resting on the surface of the desert suddenly woke up, and then felt a large hole in its abdomen.

It tried to struggle, but could not escape from the spikes anyway, and could only watch its life fade away.

After a while, the giant sand scorpion stopped moving.

Zhou Yang in this form was inconvenient to collect the things on the giant sand scorpion, so it was only after absorbing the other party's flesh and blood that the wooden thorn sank into the sand.

"The second."

The huge ostrich has become Zhou Yang's next target, this ostrich Zhou Yang is very familiar, he has seen in Yangcheng, this kind of cannibal ostrich picture.

But......

This kind of mutant creature that poses a deadly threat to others can only sit and wait in front of Zhou Yang's silent wooden thorns.
