It was as dark as night, and it was raining heavily, so it was definitely not suitable for traveling.

Zheng Guo sat down for a while, then stood up and paced around under the tree, already impatient.

He hoped that the rain would stop sooner, but the weather would not change by his will, and the rain showed no signs of abating.

Zheng Guo picked a relatively dry place, sat cross-legged, supported his chin with one hand, and was a little listless.

"It's strange, it's the first time I've seen such a long-lasting terrain rain, and if it goes on like this, it should cause a flash flood......"

He muttered.

……

……

At the research institute at the foot of the mountain, Lao Gu was talking to his superiors, and suddenly an urgent message came in.

He signaled to his superiors, opened the message, and when he saw it, he was stunned.

"Heavy rainfall on the mountainside is predicted to cause flash floods, and the institute is in the area affected by the disaster, so it is advisable to take preventive measures immediately......

Lao Gu was petrified on the spot.

Mountain torrents......

It hasn't happened in years! It was at this juncture that the outbreak occurred.

What's going on these days, bad luck one after another, all of them have come together.

First Mr. Chen's friends came to his territory to die, then the walkers escaped, then the outpost was besieged by Bai Xiu, and now it is about to encounter a flash flood again......

A series of irritants already made him a little suspicious of life.

Lao Gu stood behind the desk in a daze, forgetting that his boss was still online, staring directly at the phone on the desk, and a raging fire seemed to be reflected in his pupils.

That's burning money!

Natural disaster prevention, this flash flood will undoubtedly bring huge losses to the institute.

The cost of the suspension of various research projects alone is astronomical.

Based on past experience, the company should hold a general meeting of shareholders for this purpose.

If nothing else, he will have the honor of showing his face at the conference as a "special guest", in layman's terms, asking for money......

As for the guard budget for the outpost, it should not be approved for a while.

Lao Gu has always been unbelieving in God, but at this time, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Which plague god has come here.

……

……

The heavy rain lasted for almost three and a half hours before it finally stopped.

The dark clouds had not yet completely dispersed, and it was dark all around.

"The rain finally stopped, and it took a little longer than I expected."

Zheng Guo glanced at the sky and said, "The weather hasn't completely cleared up yet, but it doesn't affect the hurry." The heavy rain has delayed us a lot, and we have to hurry up in order to catch up. ”

Zheng Guo took out a compressed biscuit from his bag, swallowed it in his stomach, then cleaned it up, put his bags on his back and set off again.

On the way, Zheng Guo had almost no time to speak, and he carried light skills and walked like flying.

Of course, he had paid special attention to the fact that the walker could keep up with him.

Although its physique is worse than that of purebred white caus, it is much stronger than humans, and it has no difficulty in navigating through the mountains and forests.

Progress is flying.

Because Zheng Guo didn't have time to explain, the live broadcast room was much quieter, and the audience could only laugh at themselves, chatting nonsense in the east and in the west, and the topic changed every few seconds, which was also lively.

……

The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the clear blue sky reappeared in the shot, a little less depressing.

Zheng Guo walked non-stop for several hours in one breath, and finally entered the taiga area before dark.

Compared with the lower-altitude broad-leaved forests, this place is more humid and cold, with a relatively single tree species, tall and straight trunks, hard wood, needle-like leaves, and clouds and mist in the forest.

The sun had already reached the other side of the mountain, and there was a faint red in the sky, and it was estimated that it was almost dusk.

"If nothing else, we should be able to get out of the woods by noon tomorrow." Zheng Guo rested against a tree and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, "I have to spend tonight in the woods, and now, I need to find a suitable place to build a shelter and spend this night." ”

After several hours of non-stop forced marching, even Zheng Guo, whose physique was far beyond ordinary people, was a little unbearable, and he urgently needed to rest and replenish his energy.

Zheng Guo was no longer in a hurry, but focused on finding the camp before it got dark.

"You should remember that in the wilderness, it is better to sleep away from the ground to prevent being attacked by wild beasts while asleep. However, the trees here are very tall and there are few branches, so it is difficult to build a tree house, which is a problem......"

As it darkened, fog rose again in the woods, and the view was obstructed, the search for the camp became more and more difficult.

Eventually, Zheng Guo stopped in a relatively gentle clearing, looked around, and said, "This is not the best place to set up a camp, but it's already dark, so I don't have time to pick and choose." As night falls in the mountains, I need to set up shelters and light bonfires as soon as I can see clearly. ”

Zheng Guo took off his backpack, put it with his stick, drew his dagger, and walked towards a bush, intending to chop some building wood.

At most, the sun will be completely dark in more than half an hour, and there is no time to think about the comfort of the shelter, so a simple shack can only be built.

As soon as he cut down a branch, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

Zheng Guo immediately turned around and held the dagger horizontally in front of him.

A figure flashed past him quickly, and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

The audience couldn't help but feel a sudden feeling in their hearts.

"Something!"

"I saw it too, and it passed with a whoosh."

"There are beasts, be careful!"

"High energy?"

……

The audience was surprised, but Zheng Guo breathed a sigh of relief, his muscles relaxed, and the dagger in his hand was also put down.

It wasn't a beast that had just passed, it was a walker.

"What the hell?"

Zheng Guo muttered and traced it in the direction it had disappeared.

It seemed to be trying to lead him somewhere.

Zheng Guo thought to himself, don't mess around, if you accidentally show your feet, no one will be able to protect you.

……

Visibility is low due to dim darkness and fog barriers.

There was a deathly silence all around.

In the eyes of uninformed viewers, such an atmosphere is undoubtedly a bit torturous.

Fear comes from the unknown, and unknown objects in the fog always make people cringe, which is a self-protection mechanism.

The audience held their breath.

Zheng Guo walked for a while, and when he heard the walker stop, as if waiting for him in front, he quickened his pace.

After walking more than ten meters, a stone wall appeared in front of him.

Zheng Guo's eyes lit up.

The bottom of that stone wall is concave inward, creating a sloping "roof".

The ground is a whole rock, although the surface is a little potholed, but the overall is quite flat.

And it looks dry and tidy inside.

This natural cave is clearly a great campsite.
