All the people on the boat were silent, falling into a silent sadness, driven by Liu Tian's emotions.

Shangguan Xiaolong exhaled a long breath, he finally completed Liu Zhenglong's TOEFL to him, and brought these words to his daughter word for word!

And after doing all this, Shangguan Xiaolong returned to his ship.

The fat girl Gong Xue didn't read her romance novel at this time, but was sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at Qin An on Lu Fei's boat in a daze, her eyes rolled and rolled, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't even pay attention to Shangguan Xiaolong's comings and goings.

By the end of April, the river had completely melted, and there was no more ice floe in the water.

The warm breeze of spring, wrapped in the pungent smell of both banks, poured into the river, making everyone on the boat much more sober.

Continuing all the way, after reaching an open water, a small city with a length of about 2,000 meters appeared on the shore, which was the supply station at the end of the first section of the North Cangdian Road, and there was no special name.

Looking from the river, Qin An, Liu Ru and the others were all stunned, temporarily forgetting the sadness brought to them by the news of Liu Tian's father's death, and only being curious about the fantasy city in front of them.

With a radius of 500 meters from the center point of the town, many huge trees grow on the riverbank! These trees are about 100 meters tall, with thick trunks, and the smallest diameter is about 3 meters.

The trees are lined with intricate branches, which form a semi-circular tree wall with a width of 500 meters, completely protecting the entire town. And beyond these tree walls, there is an endless forest.

Lu Fei had been sullen all the time, but when she saw the turnaround station, she changed her mood and became excited, and she was very happy to jump on the board and said, "Okay, okay, people can't be resurrected after death!" Sister Liu Tian and everyone, don't be too sad! You see, it's the first turnaround station, and it's finally time to go ashore! After ten days of walking in the river, I felt as if I had gone crazy. ”

She turned her head and looked at Qin An and the others who were in a daze, and immediately understood why they were so surprised, so she opened her mouth to explain.

"By the way, I heard that in the Central Plains and Jiangnan regions, mutated creatures called tree insects are rare?

So let Miss Ben introduce you to a strange creature of the end times that you can't imagine!

The big trees you see now that protect the town, called the Mutant Tree, are actually a kind of animal now!

After being parasitized by the mutant beast that is a caterpillar, which is what we call a tree worm, they will gain the ability to quickly extract various complex elements from the soil, and then form a new metabolic constitution, and even organs such as heart blood vessels will appear! Cell-like tissue!

These mutant trees near the first transfer station, the parasitic tree insects in their bodies are only first-level mutations, so the mutant beasts are almost equivalent to dead things! However, the smell emitted by their bodies is something that zombies don't like, so with these mutant trees, zombies won't easily attack the turnover station, unless there are high-level mutant zombies in the corpse group!

When you arrive at the Divine Tree City, you will be even more amazed!

The parasitic tree worms in the mutant trees there have reached the third level of mutation, and there are even fourth-level mutations!

And such a high level of mutation has given the mutant trees real life, and people keep them as pets and feed them food. And they are around the big city, protecting the soldiers and civilians in the city!

And even more wonderful things, do you know how these mutated trees reproduce offspring? They don't grow seeds, they need to go through a sexual process and then give birth to their own babies! In other words, these high-level mutant trees are divided into male and female!

Mutant Tree Babies are another mutant creature that can pull their roots out of the ground and walk on them at will! They are also more intelligent than their parents and can communicate better with humans!

We call this mutant tree baby a treeman! It's not like they're as smart as humans!

They are more like puppies and other animals, and they can complete some human instructions through breeding and training, and they are all cute! ”

Qin An and the others were dumbfounded when they heard it! Even Liu Tian, who was originally full of sadness in her heart, stopped crying in a low voice and was attracted by what Lu Fei said.

The world has changed so fast!

Trees have gained wisdom because of the parasitism of mutant bugs, and they even inherited their offspring in a viviparous way?! That's amazing, isn't it? It's just a fine!

Suddenly, Qin An remembered the mutant tree that he had encountered when he was in Ruyan City, and he had brought it to the moat by the mutants of Wanguo City, and at that time, he had cut down the big tree to keep the people in the city warm! Qin An didn't know that it was already a sapient lifeform.

Lu Fei continued to speak: "Hey, it's a pity! There are not many mutant tree worms, after they enter a big tree to parasitize, although they can multiply into a lot of insects indefinitely, but they can't come out of a parasitic tree and go to other trees, if they are forcibly operated, they will die directly!

So in principle, a mutant tree worm can only parasitize one big tree, and they will reproduce in the big tree, so that the big tree can have a life that will not die without being affected by the outside world!

If there are enough of these mutant trees, we can build more protectorates! Hey, but there aren't that many of them!

Oh yes, the mutant tree still has heaven and earth, and that's the number of zombies! They are large trees parasitized by corpse tree worms, and they like to eat mutant trees the most! It's like zombies like to eat people!

In short, this is a very magical place, everyone, welcome to the dream land of the last days, the northeast of China! ”

After Lu Fei said this, the five small boats had already rowed into the open gate where they stood on the water for the first time.

The walls of this small city are only about ten meters, but because of the mutated trees around it, people feel as if they are in a deep basin when they enter the city, surrounded by towering green cliffs!

The water area after entering the city gate is hundreds of square meters in size, there is a simple wharf here, and there are staff on the wharf to quickly dock five small boats, and then Lu Fei, Zuo Shanshan, and Hu Wenwu go to a house on the shore to pay the rent fee.

After Qin An went ashore, he looked around.

On the other side of the town, a seven-storey residential area has been built, and below the residential buildings, there are countless stalls, many people coming and going, obviously doing things of exchange or trading, this is a fairly large market. Unlike before the end of the world, although there were about a few thousand people in this bazaar, there was no noise. Although there is a mutant tree wall as a cover, if the noise made by people reaches the level that it can attract zombies, the nearby zombies will still pounce on it, so the rule here is that you can't make loud noises, only whisper!

Super hearing turned on, Qin An listened roughly and didn't find any potential danger here, so he turned back to the cabin, carried Li Na out, and stood on the shore with the others.

After a while, Lu Fei turned back. She walked up to Qin An and the others and said, "Okay, my regiment members! It's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm in a good mood and have decided to take you poor ghosts shopping! Remember, each person can only consume two Hundred Cities Gold Coins, and you must help me earn them all back in the future! After shopping, I will take you down to the restaurant, eat hard, and then go to the building over there to form a few houses to stay for one night, and leave the first turnover station at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to enter the second section of Beicang Dark Road! I made an appointment with three wolf cubs and a big-ass Zuo Shanshan, and we'll go together tomorrow! Although I don't like them, but on the way to the North Dark Road, it is much safer for someone to travel together, and in order to have more opportunities to continue to live, we can only choose to go the same way! ”

After speaking, Lu Fei didn't pay attention to the other two groups of people, and beckoned Qin An and the others to walk directly to the market.

At this time, Zuo Shanshan and Hu Wenwu also returned to their respective teams, and the things they explained were almost the same as Lu Fei's, that is, the three groups of people and horses would have their own activities, and then they would converge tomorrow morning to continue their journey.

Qin An's group was just about to leave, but in Zuo Shanshan's team, Gong Xue, the leader of the five-person team of the hero team, suddenly walked out of the team and said, "Brother Qin An, wait a minute!" ”

Qin An was slightly stunned, stood and turned his head, not knowing what this fat girl suddenly stopped doing.

The fat girl walked to Qin An's side, and her face was a little flushed.

On the waterway in the past few days, Qin An has not said a word to this fat girl, so he is naturally very unfamiliar with her.

The fat girl bit her lower lip with her snow-white teeth, first glanced at Li Na in Qin An's arms, then looked at Qin An, and plucked up the courage to speak: "Brother Qin, don't you really remember the name Gong Xue?" ”

Qin An looked at the fat girl's bright eyes, and shook his head after being stunned for a long time.

The word Gong Xue seems to be somewhat familiar, but Qin An really can't remember that in his life, he knew a woman named Gong Xue. Why did the fat girl suddenly ask him such a question?

The fat girl saw Qin An shaking her head, her fat face trembled, and then she sighed sadly.

"Hey! All right! You are a noble man who forgets things.

But after all, I haven't been in contact for too long at that time, and it's normal that you don't remember the name Gong Xue!

Brother Qin, I just want you to know that I know you! This may be the first time you've seen me, but I've seen you months ago! And also helped you do something that was important to you! ”
