"Anyway, why do you live on such a high place? I don't think there are a lot of zombies! Wang Hao looked at the big tree outside the window and asked a little strangely.

"We're dodging mutant rats, those guys hate the smell of the tree." Xu Lin looked at the big tree outside the window and said.

"What? Mutants have already appeared on your side? Didn't they all run into the forest? "Wang Hao was really a little frightened this time! You must know that mutant beasts are much stronger than mutant zombies, and the mutant rats that I heard about before are much stronger than zombies. It seems that the tanks and armor need to be strengthened urgently, and it will be lively if they are surrounded by mutant beasts.

"This is already the outskirts of the forest, can't you see that the city is about to be swallowed up by the forest! A few days ago, a mutant rat was discovered, and if we hadn't discovered this mutant tree, it is estimated that none of us would have survived! Xu Lin seemed to remember something bad, and her eyes dimmed a lot.

Wang Hao didn't continue to ask after seeing her expression. But the matter of mutant rats still makes Wang Hao very concerned, why did those mutant beasts run into the forest? Why do only mutant rats come out!

"By the way, after you found the mutant rats, did you have any strange things?" Wang Hao wanted to know more about the mutant rats, so he asked directly.

"When we first found out the mutant rats, a lot of people died, and then someone found out that the mutant rats were very afraid of this huge mutant tree and never approached..."

"Do you want to eat?" Wang Hao pretended to take out two sausages from his backpack, handed them over and asked directly.

"Okay, thank you!" Xu Lin saw that it was a sausage, hesitated for a moment but took it, this kind of food has not been eaten for a long time! I took it and opened the package, and ate it directly.

"You go on! I'm very concerned about this! Wang Hao looked at her a little choked, took out two large bottles of drinks from his backpack and put them on the table next to him, motioned for her to drink and asked.

"I'm sorry! I haven't eaten this food in a long time. After we hid, the mutant rats actually started to eat zombies, mainly a kind of stone in the zombie's head. Xu Lin took a sip of water, explained a little embarrassed, and then continued to tell what she knew about the mutant rat.

Wang Hao was really a little surprised after hearing this, the mutant rat actually ate the mutant zombie, that kind of stone should be said to be the crystal nucleus in the zombie's brain!

"Have you collected crystal nuclei? Eh~ is the stone you saw the mutant rat eat, in the head of the zombie. ”

"After that, we also collected, and we mainly hunted mutant rats!" Xu Lin said while eating sausages.

"Hunting? Are you eating mutant rats? "Wang Hao was really scared this time, no matter how big the mutant rat is, it is also a mouse, these people actually eat mutant mice. Is it really possible? Looking at the healthy appearance of these people, it seems that they can really eat.

Xu Lin looked at Wang Hao's expression and knew what Wang Hao was thinking. After smiling bitterly, he said, "It seems that you are also difficult to accept, what can be done?" After the mutant rats appeared, it only took a few nights to eat all the food in the city! We tried to get out of the city, but there were too many zombies outside, and we would be attacked by mutant rats at night."

"It's okay that I just thought about mutant rats eating zombies, and then you eat mutant rats, which is a little unacceptable." Wang Hao said with a slightly unsightly face.

"Haha, we were actually disgusted at first, but after eating it, the taste was surprisingly delicious. It's also possible that I didn't make it clear, mutant rats don't eat zombie meat, they eat crystal nuclei! They always seem to find zombies with crystal nuclei. Xu Lin took out a few pieces of jerky from his satchel and put them on the table in front of Wang Hao and said.

Wang Hao suppressed the disgust in his heart, picked up the jerky on the table, and looked at it after looking at it, it was not very ugly. I put it on the side of my nose and sniffed it and said, "It doesn't seem to smell weird, are you sure that nothing bad will happen after eating it?" Wang Hao was still a little worried about the safety of these mutant rat meats.

"There should be nothing wrong, at least none of us here have anything," Xu Lin said after laughing.

Wang Hao hesitated for a moment and still didn't put the jerky in his mouth, but Wang Hao still put it away. He was going to take the jerky to some experts and test it.

Wang Hao remembered that he didn't see the mutant rats when he came over, so he asked directly: "I didn't see any traces of the mutant rats when I came over, are they also afraid of the sun like zombies?" ”

"Not really, but mutant rats are a bit close to nocturnal animals, they like dark places and don't want to come out during the day," Xu Lin said, pointing to the underground garage of a building in the distance outside.

"You mean there's a mutant rat over there?" Wang Hao looked at the place she was pointing and asked. It made him want to see how strong the mutant rats really were, but before that needed to strengthen the tank and armor, he didn't want to experiment with his own life.

"I think so, our people have seen mutant rats coming in and out there many times, so it should be similar to the location of a nest! Who knows! Xu Lin shrugged his shoulders and said.

This is the first gathering place close to the forest that Wang Hao has encountered, and of course, the most important thing is that there are mutant beasts. So he wants to set up a trading spot here and study the mutants here. He wanted to know why the mutant beast entered the forest, whether the mutant beast could really be eaten, and what effect it had on the human body.

"How about we make a deal?" Wang Hao stared at Xu Lin's eyes and asked.

"Deal? What do you have? Even if there is, what can we trade for you? Xu Lin smiled a little lonely, their group of people had nothing left, and they had even begun to eat rat meat, even if they were used to these mutant rats, but after all, they still cared, but they didn't have a choice.

Wang Hao smiled and said, "You are the most valuable!" And I, you can buy anything you want from me, all you need is the stone in the zombie's head, which is usually called the crystal nucleus by people outside. ”

"Crystal nucleus? You're saying that the other survivor bases are also collecting those stones, and what are they for? Xu Lin asked a little surprised, and directly ignored what Wang Hao said that he could buy anything.

"Yes, other bases have begun to use crystal nuclei as currency, this crystal nucleus has a special energy, and many large bases are studying the role of crystal nuclei." Wang Hao explained to her seriously.

"Can you come in from the outside, can you leave with all of us?" Xu Lin stared at Wang Hao's eyes and asked nervously, did this thought make his breathing become short, if they could leave, they wouldn't have to risk hunting mutant rats every day to come back to eat.

Wang Hao hesitated for a while, but said directly: "I don't think I will take you away directly, as a transaction, I will help you move to other survivor bases when your base is facing destruction, in fact, food in other bases is also a problem, and you also need to go out to hunt zombies, or find supplies." ”

"And what do you want us to do?" Xu Lin stared at Wang Hao suspiciously and asked.

"What I want you to do is very simple, I need you to live here, you can buy the supplies you need with me, I want to know how you hunt mutant rats, as far as I know, mutant rats are much more dangerous than ordinary zombies. I'll go hunting with you. "Wang Hao needs these survivors who understand the mutant rats, if the combat effectiveness of the mutant rats he heard about is true, then the hunting ability of these people has really surprised Wang Hao.

"I think these things can be promised to you! In fact, I can tell you right now that our bodies have become a lot stronger after fighting the mutant rats, and everyone thinks that the fighting intensity is high, and regular exercise has changed our physique, but I don't think so. Xu Lin said and took out a piece of mutant rat jerky and played with it in his hand, Wang Hao quickly looked at the jerky in her hand, and then asked in surprise: "You mean, you suspect that your physique has changed because of mutant rat meat?" This idea really shocked Wang Hao, and if it was true, this discovery could change the status quo of the survivors. It's just that there are too few mutant beasts, but now no one dares to enter the forest, even Wang Hao doesn't dare, the key is the current situation of the trees in the forest, and you can't enter it at all while driving a tank.

"I just suspect that my physical strength is too much now, and I don't believe that exercise alone can make such a big difference." Xu Lin also said uncertainly.

"Let's not talk about that, let's find me a convenient place to set up a trading point!" Wang Hao thought about these things for a while, and now he can't rush them, so it's better to take his time.

"How big do you need space? Is there a separate room? Xu Lin was a little curious, how the person in front of him could safely transport the goods here.

"Anywhere, even in a tree!" Wang Hao said a little half-jokingly.

"Then it's on the tree, follow me!" Xu Lin listened to Wang Hao's words and said with a smile, then got up directly and walked outside, and soon came to an exit where the window was broken, and the trunk of a big tree came in directly through the window, fortunately it was the top floor, if it was below, the building would be collapsed.

Wang Hao looked at the big tree in front of him that could only be held by more than ten people, and was a little stunned when he saw the thick trunks, and walked to the middle of the canopy behind Xu Lin with his mouth slightly open, and the survivors built a platform between many branches. Walking up to it was very thick, and seeing that there were stout trees everywhere on the side, Wang Hao was relieved, the wood really couldn't be used up.

The survivors of the two buildings, on this wide platform, set up a variety of stalls, which is like a bazaar-like place, are exchanging jerky for some daily necessities.

Xu Lin patted the trunk of the big tree and said, "How is this?" The best place to set up a stall against the trunk of a tree. In fact, what she thought was that even if Wang Hao wanted to sell things here, there wouldn't be a lot. So he directly helped Wang Hao choose a good location in the middle of the market and let him set up a stall.

Wang Hao smiled and said, "The hope you see next won't scare you." After speaking, Wang Hao directly circled around the trunk, and it was the first time Wang Hao had seen such a thick tree.

"This tree isn't going to grow anymore, is it?" Wang Hao turned to look at Xu Lin behind him and asked.

"No, these trees grow very quickly after mutating, but they should be the largest when they grow like this, and they haven't grown for a long time," Xu Lin also patted the big tree and said.

Wang Ha chose one in the direction of the town and pressed his hand directly on the book, in fact, this was also his first attempt, and he was not sure that he would succeed, of course, there was nothing to lose in trying.

Set up a trading point!

After Wang Hao meditated in his heart, just as he was watching nervously, a white light flashed, and a metal gate appeared on the trunk of the tree. didn't expect it to be really successful, and then Wang Hao realized that he was in trouble this time, because there were too many people here.

These people who were trading, including Xu Lin, were first shaken by the white light, and then when their eyes slowly recovered, everyone was stunned by the iron gate they saw!

After the strange silence, there was a commotion, and immediately I thought it was a boiling pot, and the people on the other side of the trunk also gathered after hearing the sound, and then they all participated in the exclamation.

"Look, a door has been conjured"

"It's amazing, is it, magic?"

The "......" crowd was talking frantically, Wang Hao put on a mask as soon as he reflected, he didn't want to be regarded as an outlier by these people, and then an old man's words changed things to a direction that Wang Hao definitely didn't expect.

I saw an old lady in the crowd, and suddenly she knelt directly on the ground, and then shouted in a heart-splitting voice: "This is the manifestation of the gods, this is the gods sent someone to save us." After shouting, the old lady grabbed the Buddha beads in her hand and kowtowed directly.

After Wang Hao saw it, he hurriedly pulled Xu Lin to the side, he didn't want to lose his life, and then what he saw next made his mouth grow bigger and bigger, of course, he was wearing an armor mask that others couldn't see.

Because in this bazaar set up by the survivors, the old people of their own families set up stalls to sell the things they collected. So almost half of the bazaar are old people, it is not easy for these old people to survive the disaster of the last days, the old lady's words instantly let these people find the spiritual sustenance in this terrible last days, plus the 'miracles' in front of them first these old people knelt down, and then those young people watched all the old people kneel on the ground and pray, some under the persuasion of their own old people, some under the influence of the atmosphere, and some were shocked by the sudden miracle in front of them, and slowly knelt down.

In the end, Wang Hao and Xu Lin were left, and just when he found that Xu Lin beside him was about to kneel, Wang Hao hurriedly pulled her into the door of the trading point. Then there was another exclamation outside, and the crowd began to pray even more religiously. They believed it was a miracle that God was going to take them out of this world of suffering.

Of course, this also made those young people who suspected that this was just an ordinary iron gate, and there was nothing behind the door, also gave up their ideas, and when they couldn't explain the reason, they slowly believed the old man around them and participated in the prayer.
