Zhang Kong's diary:

We visited many scenic spots in Huangshan a few days ago, what carp back a line of sky, what immortals guide the way, welcome pine, Paiyun Pavilion, Jiulong Waterfall, Taiping Lake and so on, we have been there one by one. It may be because it is a scenic spot, so there are still a lot of zombies here in Huangshan, but some of them fell to their deaths from the mountain early, and some of them were from the surrounding hotels or from the parking lot. Among them, there was also a lucky guy who never fell to his death on the top of the light, but inexplicably relied on very abundant sunlight to evolve to the third order. However, the gap in strength between the third-order plant zombie and the complete evolutionary who has also evolved four times is not small, Liu Nan didn't take him as an opponent at all, and threw the goods into the sky casually, fell down the mountain and died.

As I expected, not only did I not find Lao Wu these days, but even Zhang Xiaoxi didn't find out about his ability to open it, he was really cautious, it seemed that it was impossible for him to show up in a short period of time. As far as I could have expected, he was supposed to be back in the safe zone, on the periphery, ready to keep an eye on us while we returned.

At the top of Lotus Peak, I played bungee jumping by myself, the kind without a rope. Because the landing surface was not too stable, and I fell too fast and too strong, I directly crushed a boulder on the soles of my feet, and then rolled with it to the bottom of the mountain.

Fortunately, I didn't have any major problems except for a small scratch that wasn't a minor injury, and to be honest, I couldn't die even if I wanted to die now.

Winter is coming, it's getting cold, and we're going to hurry back to the safe zone to prepare for the winter. It's not too difficult for me to get supplies, but a safe zone requires more than just supplies.

Before we decided to go back to the safe zone, though, we made some unexpected discoveries.

Because since we came, we decided to go to the urban area of Huangshan to have a look, if possible, Liu Nan and I can remove the fungal source in the urban area, which can be regarded as a safe cleaning of this place, and maybe we will bring more people to play in the future.

As a result, we found smoke on the mountain halfway through, and this smoke did not look like a natural fire, but like the smoke of a bonfire, so we suspected that there were still survivors in the mountain.

I discussed it with Liu Nan and decided to take a detour.

Because it was in the mountains anyway, there weren't many zombies, so we didn't care if it was noon or not, and drove all the way straight to the source of the campfire. The car couldn't drive halfway through, and the road ahead was full of gravel and trees, and the Hummer could run on this kind of terrain, but it was definitely slower than we walked.

It was time for a tourist, so I took everyone and walked forward. Although there may be danger ahead, but I didn't fully arm Li Na and Zhang Xiaoxi, anyway, with me and Liu Nan, in terms of combat effectiveness, the two of us are more powerful than tanks, plus a Xu Li who has advanced and evolved to protect their safety, they don't need guns at all.

Although we are within visual distance from the bonfire, it is the visual distance between me and Liu Nan, and the vision of both of us can now see eleven, twenty, or three kilometers or even farther away, so although it is a visual distance, it is not close at all.

In addition, the mountain road is not straight ahead, so it took us a long time to reach our destination.

We reached a point almost 100 meters away from the campfire, and Liu Nan and I could already see the location of the campfire in front of us through the not-so-dense foliage. Zhang Xiaoxi used an ability that she was not very familiar with to explore the specific situation of this camp.

They were a group of survivors, there were quite a few of them, about seventy or eighty people, men and women, old people and children, and they didn't look like gangsters. These people don't have too many standard weapons, Zhang Xiaoxi found two 54s, and according to her very, very subtle observations, one of the two guns only had three bullets left, and the other was even more pitiful, only two rounds left. Compared with this type of firearms, they are equipped with more bows and arrows, the bow seems to be very professional according to Zhang Xiaoxi's description, it is a composite bow, and the arrow is a plum blossom arrow or a cross arrow.

It's just that Zhang Xiaoxi said that they don't look very good, as if some people are hungry and have no strength, and some people are sick.

Liu Nan and I made quick eye contact, and the two of us decided at the same time to help them if we could.
