The rain stopped, but the water on the ground did not recede so quickly.

The dirty water quality and the dangers that may be hidden inside are obviously not suitable for travel, but everyone's mood became clear with the sunny weather, and even Luo Yuan's expression was not so serious, and he took the initiative to find food for the first time.

In fact, as long as you are careful enough, there are still many things to eat in the flooded jungle, of course, first of all, you must know that this is not poisonous.

The tubers of various weeds, with the sweet sap like milk, and some scattered wild fruits, finally found a big fish that had swam over from nowhere.

This discovery made Luo Yuan surprised and delighted!

Surprisingly, the water has connected the rivers and lakes, and the water has become extremely dangerous. Happily, this light blue fish is so big that it can be eaten for a few days, at least until the water recedes, there is no shortage of food.

Luo Yuan dragged the big fish back to the tree hole, the tree had been greatly injured, and in just ****, its leaves were already a little yellow, giving people a feeling of entering the twilight.

The big fish was too big to move closer to the cave, so Luo Yuan had to break it down into pieces of snow-white fish meat in advance.

Seeing Luo Yuan come back, everyone came over to help, lifting, moving, and moving pieces of neatly divided fish and meat to the corner of the tree hole, piling up more than one meter high. The whole fish skin was left intact by Luo Yuan, this fish skin is thinner than the skin of the mutant beast, and it is full of toughness, whether it is to hold water or sundries, it is very suitable.

Huang Jiahui and Cao Lin gathered the little dry wood left and lit a fire. It's very damp in the hollow, so you don't have to worry about causing a fire.

Huo Dong took local materials, cut a few wooden sticks from the tree hole, forked the fish meat, and began to make a barbecue, under the **** of the flame, the fish fat made a sizzling sound, the fat kept dripping, and the whole tree hole was filled with an attractive fragrance.

Huang Jiahui gave everyone a cup of milk-like sap, and she put away the excess.

This kind of tree sap with a cool taste tastes quite good, and many people are reluctant to drink it all at once after tasting it, but just drink it in small sips. The tubers of the weeds also have an excellent taste, except that the texture is slightly thicker, and they can be eaten as both rice and fruit.

Maybe it was because they had been hungry for a long time, and everyone's appetite was so big that they couldn't eat anymore, so they stopped, and even Master Wang, who usually had the smallest amount of food, ate three times as much food as usual.

And Luo Yuan even eliminated more than a dozen catties of fish and meat, and made up for all the food he had eaten a few days ago. A person with a strong physique like him can no longer be measured from the perspective of ordinary people. He can go days without eating now, but he is still in good spirits, and he can also eat food for several days at a time.

………………

As time passed, everyone's injuries recovered one by one.

After the third day, the water finally receded, revealing muddy mud, and in the distance, several mutated fish that looked very much like piranhas, kept bouncing in place, and began to struggle.

Huang Jiahui checked her luggage over and over again as if she had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and did not stop until there was no more missing.

In fact, there was not much luggage, a bag of dozens of catties of tree sap packed with fish skins, a dozen pieces of dried fish that had been smoked about half a catty each, three lighters, weapons and bullets that each had with them, and a few pieces of washed white cloth that even beggars could not look down on.

That's all the luggage!

Luo Yuan put a dozen recently made short spears into his bag, carried them behind his back, pulled out the chopping knife inserted in the heart of the tree, and jumped down the tree hole first.

Everyone walked up to the monitor lizard that was already lying on the ground, grabbed the rope hanging down from the carpet, and climbed up with weak hands and feet.

It's not that everyone hasn't done anything these days, at least the monitor lizard's back has been covered with a rough carpet made of vine peeled skin, and after laying on it, there is no need to worry about slipping down.

With a low roar, the monitor lizard stood up and walked slowly forward.

The forests where the water had receded, the sewage was everywhere, and the flies and mosquitoes were infested, and everywhere they passed were small insects, smaller than a grain of rice, but they were numerous, and they were floating around in swarms like smoke. However, these insects didn't dare to get close to Luo Yuan's side, and even sometimes fled too slowly, and they **** to the ground.

Luo Yuan had noticed it a long time ago, in fact, this phenomenon had already existed when he was in the tree hollow. Because the space is too small and there is a fear of insufficient oxygen supply, there is a small hole in the tree hole even at night. But no matter day or night, not a single insect will fly in.

The reason for the insects' retreat is not because of the monitor lizard, nor because of Luo Yuan, but because of the horse chopping knife.

Since the horse chopper evolved to the green level, his knife has appeared with an inexplicable faint power, which is not an ethereal psychological hint, but a real existence.

However, this power is still very weak, and ordinary people can only feel that it is sharp and sharp, and they can know that it is very sharp at a glance. But for these small insects with a weak body and a weak spark, it is a great threat, and ordinary flies and insects dare not approach at all.

After walking for half an hour, the trees gradually thinned, and the sky appeared above everyone's heads again, the weather was still very gloomy, and the sky was full of dark clouds, because of the large amount of volcanic ash brought by the volcanic eruption, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see the sun these days.

But everyone was still shocked!

"I'm finally leaving." Huo Dong said excitedly.

"I guess in less than ten minutes we'll be out of the forest." Cao Lin echoed with a smile on her face.

"When the time comes, you must find a **, find a quilt, and sleep well, I have been frozen awake every night for the past few days." Master Wang said in a coquettish voice,

Huang Jiahui smiled quietly, she has suffered a lot in the past few days, sitting on the ground in the open air every day, almost thinking that she has returned to the primitive society, and now she has not brushed her teeth for several days, and her mouth is a burst of bad breath. Fortunately, everything is coming to an end, at least on the highway, there will not be even a quilt as now, there are a large number of ** quilts in every fortification there, as well as all kinds of toiletries.

Everyone laughed all the way, but soon the smile on their faces faded away.

As we went deeper, the trees of the jungle became thinner and more strange, with twisted trunks and foliage much less than normal trees, many of which were already dry. It's like a deformed creature that develops ****.

Piles of white bones of mutated creatures can be seen everywhere along the way, most of which are half-buried under the mud due to the heavy flooding that has just occurred. At first, it was all small bones, but as we progressed, large skeletons began to appear occasionally.

What seems to have happened here?

The art master is bold, Luo Yuan will not be shocked like everyone else, as long as there are no creatures above the light green level, he is fearless, although he feels a little strange in his heart, he does not stop advancing. This road is the closest to the expressway, and if you go around this very wide area, you may have to walk for a long time to get to the expressway.

After ten minutes, the surrounding trees began to take on a slight lodging shape in one direction, and there were more and more dead trees around them, and most of them were dead except for a few that were completely alive. And the few who were alive became even more eccentric, bare without a single leaf, and the branches seemed to struggle in the air like ghost claws.

There seemed to be a smell of death in the air, and the silence around was eeri, even the usual insect chirping in the woods had disappeared, and everyone felt like they were heading for hell.

The monitor lizard seemed a little restless, its nostrils chattering and plumbing with smoke, and it seemed reluctant to go inside.

Huang Jiahui suddenly exclaimed, her voice was a little deformed: "Wait, let's go back quickly, this is the location of the explosion of the nuclear bomb!" ”

Luo Yuan was shocked: "What did you say?" ”

"You don't remember, a few nuclear bombs were dropped in the wilderness of Hedong City, and this is probably where the nuclear bomb exploded." Huang Jiahui said urgently.

Everyone's faces changed drastically, they lost their blood color in an instant, their eyes looked at everything around them in shock, and their hearts were full of panic.

No wonder it's so quiet here, and the plants have become strangely shaped, I didn't expect that the location of the nuclear bomb explosion is here, I'm afraid that there is still a huge amount of nuclear radiation left here, Luo Yuan hurriedly patted the monitor lizard's head, it stopped, and under Luo Yuan's signal, it turned its head and quickly returned to the original way.

"We've been here for so long, will there be any problems?" Master Wang asked worriedly, she had seen the propaganda photos of nuclear radiation in the school before, and the deformed people in them left a deep shadow on her.

"No, we're in a much better state than before, and we've only been here for more than ten minutes, so we'll be fine." Huang Jiahui said, this is not so much comforting as self-comforting: "Don't you see that there are still some trees alive here?" ”

"But, they've all become so weird, haven't they mutated?" Master Wang asked uneasily.

Huang Jiahui was silent for a while and said, "They are originally mutant plants. ”

At this time, Wang Xiaguang's body shook and almost fell off the monitor lizard, Luo Yuan hurriedly held on: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Xiaguang shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "I'm just a little dizzy." ”

"I seem to have a little bit of it, and I want to throw up." Master Wang whispered, his hand tightly tugging at the corner of Luo Yuan's clothes.

There was a hint of uneasiness on everyone's faces, because they felt the same way.

"Hold on a little longer, and we'll be leaving right away." Luo Yuan glanced at everyone, and his heart gradually sank, even Master Wang had symptoms of radiation, I am afraid that except for himself and Lin Xiaoji, he will not be spared.

This time the nuclear radiation is not the previous nuclear explosion, that time it was dozens of kilometers away, the dose can be said to be pitiful, even ordinary people can withstand it, this time it is too close.

The mutated plants have strong vitality, and ordinary nuclear radiation will not cause much harm to them at all, and the fact that there can be such a large-scale death can only mean one thing, they are already very close to the edge of nuclear explosion.

"Brother Luo, can you help me break a branch here?" At this time, Cao Lin looked at those strange-shaped trees, suddenly moved, and said.

"What do you want a branch for?" Luo Yuan wondered.

"I think most of these trees have no leaves, and the radiation in the vicinity is severe, life is rare, and they don't feed on living things like lantern plants, and the most likely thing is that they can absorb nuclear radiation." Cao Lin analyzed, looking a little excited.

"I think it's very likely, there is a saying, where poisonous insects are infested, there must be an antidote within seven steps." Huo Dong seemed to feel hope, he was relieved in his heart, and interjected.

Luo Yuan looked at the strange tree in the distance, and felt more and more that Cao Lin's analysis was correct, so he hurriedly said, "You wait, I'll go over and take a look." ”

He jumped off the monitor lizard's back and walked quickly towards a strange tree in front of him.
