Chapter Thirty-Nine: Hibiscus City

Furong City is the capital city of Xichuan Province, located in the Xichuan Basin, where several rivers flow by, and it has been a rich place since ancient times.

Today, however, the city of Hibiscus has become unrecognizable: countless towering trees have grown in the midst of the high-rise city, and these towering trees hundreds of meters high are connected together, burying the once prosperous city of Hibiscus like a coffin.

In the river outside the city of Seremban, there is a boat with a unique shape, the whole hull is like a bullet, just looking at its appearance can be deeply attracted.

The whole boat gives a refreshing feeling, with a streamlined hull streaked across the river, leaving a white wave.

This is the Silence!

Chen Ran sat in the cab, turned off the silence, stopped in the river, and looked at Furong City, who had changed his face and didn't dare to recognize him, in a daze.

He couldn't believe it at all, this was where he was born and raised.

On the ship, he couldn't fully see the whole picture of Furong City, but countless towering trees that topped the sky suddenly broke into Chen Ran's eyes.

"How can these big trees grow so fast?" Chen Ran was puzzled, even if he had seen the mutated lotus outside Shuangjiang City, Chen Ran still couldn't believe his eyes.

Not only were there countless towering giant trees, but Chen Ran also discovered that there were huge birds hovering in the sky above Furong City.

Chen Ran is not a fan of biology, and he can't name these mutated birds, but he is sure that these behemoths with a wingspan of more than four or five meters are no less fierce than the giant pigeons seen in the Shuanglong Lake scenic area.

In fact, Chen Ran has also made discoveries all the way from Shuangjiang City.

Along the way, the creatures he saw were quietly changing, and the arrival of the end times caused the creatures to mutate dramatically, and this level slowly increased over time.

The pistol in Chen Ran's hand had completely lost its effect, the bullets had run out, and in the Yangtze River, he encountered several ferocious attacks, but fortunately, the Silence had been transformed and was able to dodge.

The Silence progressed through one attack after another, and by this time the Level 4 talent tree had been lit up.

The fourth-level talent tree Chen Ran chose to double the cabin space, and what was surprising was that although the cabin space was doubled, the volume of the Silence did not increase.

The first word that appeared in Chen Ran's mind - "dimensional space".

But Chen Ran didn't have a fundamental understanding of dimensional space at all, and he didn't have any unusual feeling when he entered and exited the cabin.

At the moment of the Black Pig King, the alien core was used as an energy supply, and now the Silence is still full of energy.

Because he was on the water route, although he had been attacked by mutated creatures several times, he was cleverly avoided by Chen Ran, and he did not encounter other humans along the way.

Chen Ran carried a fanged dagger around his waist, and the long knife on his back was abandoned by him, and the long knife was very inconvenient in his body.

"When the river enters Furong City, I can enter with the Silence, but if I want to find the door, I can't rely on the Silence alone."

Chen Ran's home is in the green community of Guangming District in the west of Furong City, and there is also a river in Furong City, so you can drive the Silence forward first.

The huge trees blocked the sunlight, and the Furong City in the shadows looked eerie and terrifying, and Chen Ran drove the silence in the river, as if he had crossed it, as if he had come to the magic forest.

Chen Ran sat in the cab, his ears could hear the roar of beasts in the distance, it was incredible, the steel city had turned into a forest, and the forest was full of all kinds of fierce beasts.

So...... Are the humans of the past still alive?

The Silence crashed through the strange plants that covered the river, covering the entire surface of the river, connecting together as if locking the channel.

His eyes were full of green, but Chen Ran was extremely frightened in his heart.

Furong City is more difficult than I imagined.

Suddenly, Chen Ran noticed that two strange-looking beasts appeared on the road on both sides of the river, their limbs fell to the ground, and their strong limbs stepped on the concrete floor without making the slightest sound.

There is no hair on its back, it is reflected in a little sunlight, its forehead is flat, and its body size is larger than that of an average tiger.

Looking at their appearance, they are a bit like dogs, but they are a bit like felines.

Chen Ran knew that the current creature could no longer be understood with his previous common sense, because this animal that looked like a dog and a cat shook its body, and actually protruded another bone from its abdomen.

That's right, it's a bone.

The bone protruded from the monster's abdomen, and the tip was very sharp, half a meter long, like a bayonet.

Chen Ran's eyelids jumped, this seems to be the killer weapon of this monster!

Don't......

Chen Ran was not wrong, the monster on the shore jumped up in the next second, and its huge body roared like a cannonball from the road a few meters above the river.

The bone spurs in its abdomen were aimed straight at the Silence.

"Damn, it's not good, speed up!"

Chen Ran's face was as pale as water, and the movements in his hands did not stop, and the two-second operation accelerated the silence to the extreme.

At this time, the Silence, because it has reached the fourth talent of the D rank, has been greatly improved, and the ultimate speed can already reach 60.

The Silence sped up instantly, successfully dodging the attack of the first monster.

However, a second monster followed!

"Bang!"

The entire hull of the Silence shuddered for a moment, and the hull shook violently for one second, then rebalanced the next.

This is a unique effect of the Silence's greatly improved performance, which is impossible for an ordinary ship to achieve.

"The hull is under attack!" The ship soul immediately reminded Chen Ran.

Chen Ran had a ship soul that could instantly perceive every part of the Silence, and he almost cursed, the bone spurs in the monster's abdomen could actually smash the Silence hull into a small hole.

Of course, this is just a small pitfall.

Chen Ran somewhat understood, this monster's attack mode is to rely on the extremely fast impact, and the bone spurs in the abdomen are inserted into the opponent's body at once, so that it can not only steadily drag the prey, but also give the opponent a fatal blow.

Chen Ran's brain made up this way of monster attacking prey, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened, if he was attacked by this kind of monster, if there was no speed bonus of the alien nucleus, there was a chance that he would not be able to dodge.

Once you can't hide, the only thing that awaits you is destruction.

"The little monster still wants to eat Lao Tzu's meat? There are no doors! ”

Chen Ran drove the Silence at a rapid pace, ignoring the monster outside the hull, the monster's bone spurs did not fix itself, and his limbs kept trying to grab the Silence.

However, the hull of the Silence was streamlined, and there was no place for it to draw strength, and it slid off the hull and into the water little by little.

Chen Ran had already sensed that the monster had left the Silence, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he had encountered such a monster just now after entering Furong City, and he didn't know what more ferocious mutant creatures were ahead.

……

Chen Ran took out a notebook, which recorded all the mutated creatures that Chen Ran had encountered, he named the mutant creatures just now "Bone Spur Dog", and described the characteristics of the Bone Spur Dog in more detail, and also gave a picture a little awkwardly.

Chen Ran did not have professional drawing training, and relied on the practice in art class when he was in school, and his drawing was very rough, but there were seven or eight points similar.

It is likely that the two bone spur dogs just now had the idea of attacking because they saw the novel Silence.

The inside of the Silence cannot be seen from the outside, so the mutated creatures can't detect Chen Ran inside.

Many strange animals appeared on both sides of the river one after another, and Chen Ran was frightened and vigilant at the same time.

Fortunately, these strange creatures didn't seem to be as interested in the Silence as they had been in the Bone Spur Dog, and some just glanced at it and ignored it.

From the physical characteristics of these strange creatures, we can vaguely see the species before the mutation, most of them were kept as pets by people before the end of the world, or were locked up in zoos, and when the end came, they became the masters of Hibiscus City.

The Silence's engine has been modified to be silent, avoiding the stimulation of the monsters from loud noises.

This allowed Chen Ran to walk through Furong City without danger.

Chen Ran touched the talent tree that opened the silence, and his eyes fell on the fifth-level talent tree.

There is a very good skill on the fifth-level talent tree, the hull is invisible!

If you have this natural skill, the safety factor of the Silence will be greatly improved.

If it weren't for Chen Ran's eagerness to return to Furong City, he would have had enough time to hunt mutated creatures and obtain an alien nucleus to light up the fifth-level talent.

But now, Chen Ran returned to Furong City as fast as he could, but he failed to light up this talent, which was really dangerous.

Return to your hometown first, and then wait for the opportunity to hunt mutated creatures to light up the fifth-level talent.

At present, the progress of the Silence's talent is fifty percent of the fourth-level talent, and it is still a long way from the fifth-level talent.

The more you move into Furong City, the density of the towering giant trees increases, and the giant trees become taller and taller, and the diameter of the trunks of each giant tree exceeds five or six meters!

In the center of Furong City, the branches and leaves of the giant tree completely blocked the sunlight, Chen Ran calculated the time, it was noon at this time, but the scene in front of him seemed to be midnight, dark, and in the silence, he occasionally heard a roar in the distance.

The inland river passes through Furong City from west to east, and Chen Ran comes from the southeast, and if you want to go to Guangming District in the west of the city, you must pass through the whole city.

In the middle of the dark city, Chen Ran felt that he was overwhelmed.

On the central avenue in the center of Hibiscus City, a giant tree thicker than any other tree rises from the intersection of the asphalt road, and it seems to compete with all the trees, and its thickness is different from other trees.

Chen Ran looked up, and the branches of the giant tree in the center seemed to be stacked layer by layer, and there were many beating figures looming on the leafy giant tree in the center.

Those hazy figures were so agile that they looked like monkeys, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

From the giant tree in the center, there was a clear and audible "hissing" sound, and several long figures meandered and swam.

Some of the smaller mutant birds flipped their wings, up and down, clutching bloody corpses in their claws.

Chen Ran occasionally saw a few human corpses hanging on tree branches, and the tattered clothes couldn't wrap the exposed organs!

The mysterious and terrifying primeval forest is nothing more than that!
