The modern metropolis used to have a very figurative nickname, called the Steel Forest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe title becomes even more vivid when the ruins of the city abandoned by humans are filled with a variety of flora and fauna. Moreover, the more diverse spatial design of urban buildings also makes the ecological environment here seem strange and changeable, and the danger is even more dangerous than that of real forests.

Since he is not going to go back tonight, of course Ding Chen has to inform Liu Chi early, if he doesn't want to spend the night with him, then he can also send him back first.

Liu Chi was a little hesitant to make this decision, and his intuition told him that it was a very risky move. But at the same time, there was a voice in his own heart that kept reminding him that this was the life he had always longed for as a scavenger – the thrill of being in the face of unknowable danger at all times.

In fact, any young man who likes fantasy will yearn for the experience of living in the wilderness, which is unimaginable to all those who live in the ordinary.

But in the end, Liu Chi, who was thinking about it, finally made a difficult decision. His sanity defeated his dreams, and he decided to return to the gathering area, he still had his family, and he couldn't afford to play with these three adventurers who had nothing.

Ding Chen naturally didn't say anything about this, to be honest, Liu Chi was just a relatively pleasant stranger to him, he didn't have unrealistic hopes for him, and of course he didn't have the idea of accepting a young man.

In fact, unlike most scavengers who roam the wilderness, Ding Chen is more of a team player, and he is not used to acting alone. But compared to the risky job of picking up trash, choosing a reliable teammate is obviously very difficult. This is not a companion donkey, and I and my teammates can still expect the corrupt/corrupt government/government that is scolded on weekdays to arrive in time to provide free rescue, and will not delay safety before continuing to scold. Often, the mistakes made by the scavengers are not corrected, or in other words, they can only be expected to be corrected in the next life.

What is more embarrassing to say is that so far, Ding Chen's only more optimistic candidate is Rogge - Zheng Yu also learns quickly, but he lacks the quality of a true warrior in Rogge. For Rogge, she craves adventure and hates blandness, so she would rather be a warrior than stay in an apartment like a normal woman. In her mind, she really likes the profession of a warrior, not just because she has no choice like Zheng Yu and Ye Dai. Just look at the fact that Ye Dai no longer participates in the hunting activities in the apartment now, you can know that she actually prefers technical work.

But it is obvious that if Ding Chen chooses Rogge, then the relationship between the two people will become very awkward. He wasn't worried about Zheng Yu or Ye Dai - it was just another level of worry, he was worried that if the relationship between the two of them became like Uncle Potato and Kiki, Rogge would probably end up killing himself. Because it is almost impossible for them to abandon their loved ones in times of danger.

So for Ding Chen, he can only continue to be his lone thief. And at least now, without Liu Chi, a rookie, he is moving more freely.

Leaving Qiqi and Uncle on the roof to continue the work just now, Ding Chen accompanied Liu Chi back to the gathering area. With Liu Chi's level, Ding Chen was not worried about letting him go back alone, although the two of them had nothing to do directly, but since he brought him out by himself, of course he had to send him back safely.

The building was only a little more than four kilometers away from the gathering area, and the path was already familiar, so the two of them walked quickly.

After arriving at the edge of the gathering area, Ding Chen did not have the consciousness of sending Liu Chi home, so seeing that it was not far from the safe zone, there would be no more danger, so he stopped and waved goodbye to Liu Chi.

Liu Chi felt strange, "Don't you need to get some water and food?" ”

Ding Chen laughed, knowing that he had heard what he had said to Uncle Potato when he left, but he was obviously mistaken, the place where he was going to find water was not a gathering area, and he planned to explore the unknown area by the way.

"At least not right now." Ding Chen replied.

Liu Chi instantly understood what he meant, and the desire for adventure that had been suppressed in his heart was ready to move again. Ding Chen saw the struggle in his heart and immediately dispelled his idea in time. At least until now, Liu Chi has not been able to match his ability.

After sending Liu Chi away, Ding Chen did not choose the way he came. I've already walked this road twice, so there's nothing new about it, and it's dangerous for a scavenger to go back and forth to the same road too often.

Another reason is that he needs to find some prey to solve the food source for these two days. Often, exploring abandoned buildings is a time-consuming and energy-intensive task, and it requires conserving as much energy as possible. If Ding Chen didn't want to consume those individual rations, he could only solve the food source through hunting.

He and Liu Chi walked back and forth in the streets of the old city, and although the once wide road was now covered with dense vegetation and difficult to identify, it was still wide and smooth, at least compared to other places. Normally, the beasts don't like such places, so it's safer to walk along such roads.

However, while the danger is reduced, the possibility of Ding Chen's easy hunting is greatly reduced, so if he wants to make a catch, he must leave this relatively safe road and take the initiative to find prey in a place with lush vegetation.

This is also the awkward situation that scavengers have to face, whether it is to find a source of food or treasure from the ruins of a former civilization, they must actively put themselves into danger, a bit like a moth to a fire, regardless of their own safety for the sake of possible hope.

Ding Chen didn't have much idea about Moth Sister, but since he was going to make a cameo appearance as a scavenger, of course he had to behave professionally. So Ding Chen stood in the middle of the road, looked around, then drew out the black knife, chose a path, and slowly walked in.

The reason why he didn't use a gun was because if he was facing a sudden danger, then a black knife was more useful than an iron tube gun without a bayonet, and if he encountered a prey that could be attacked, it would be too late to slowly change the gun.

The buildings here are not only similar in appearance, but also in a neatly planned location, and even if they are not measured, Ding Chen believes that the distance between the buildings is exactly the same.

If you look at it from above, the buildings in the old city look like neatly placed models, the same, and there is no variation. But when nature began to reclaim the city, which had been abandoned by humans, it naturally compensated for this shortcoming. A variety of vegetation covers the same man-made structures, giving them a different or even very different style.

After walking a short distance, Ding Chen's pace slowed down. A building on the side of the road hangs a green vine. The leaves of this vine are large and produce small, pulpy fruits, and although the ripeness of the fruit has passed, there are still some fruits left on the vine that have not yet fallen.

Ding Chen saw that the beast had eaten this fruit, and he could be sure that it was not poisonous. What's more, because it's rich in water, it can be used to replenish hydration.

He walked over slowly, cautiously examining the vine, then carefully raised the black knife.

A snake raised its head from the vines and spat out bright red snake letters in the direction of Ding Chen. This is a danger that this vine often hides. Because many rodents also like this fruit, there will be snakes squatting here.

Ding Chen easily caught the snake and tied it in a knot and stuffed it into his pocket. This kind of snake was different from the one that attacked Liu Chi in the morning, only had a very weak poison, so Ding Chen was not in a hurry to kill it. When he returns to the roof, he will have fresh snake blood to drink.
