Chapter 257: Island in the middle of the lake
According to the location Lin Ying pointed to, the inconspicuous lake is about a little north of the central part of HB Province, located in the suburbs, and the surrounding population should be relatively sparse. To get to that lake from here, you first have to confirm that they are there now. For this reason, Li Jian had to risk his life and take Qin Hu and the others to clean up some mutant plants, so that they could confirm their exact location, and then head towards the lake.
The further north you go, the more lush the mutant plants become, and the fewer zombies there are, as if the zombies have been wiped out by the mutated plants. But Li Jian and the others were not happy, because sometimes, mutated plants were more terrifying than zombies. They witnessed a survivor being sucked by a plant that thought of pitcher plants, and in a few moments it turned into a pool of blood and was digested, and the scene was truly terrifying.
"Anyway, it's very hideous, and there are brightly colored plants, most of which are aggressive, you all remember. Don't wait for us to collect your body. ”
Qin Hu, who had a tendon, said to the hooligan A, B, C, D, and hooligan AB, for his honest character, this kind of identification method was relatively the most suitable for him.
Li Jian and Lin Ying were studying Lin Ying's abilities on the road, and the closer she got to the lake, the more she felt that she should go there.
"Will it ...... Your abilities are also skewed towards the spiritual type? It's like the ability to predict the future......"
Li Jian speculated. After all, feeling this thing, in the final analysis, is also an ideological reaction, a personal emotional bias, and it belongs to a relatively ethereal one. In this way, Li Jian naturally thinks of spiritual reformers.
"Hmm...... I think so, too, but I don't know until I get to the lake. ”
Lin Ying herself wasn't quite sure.
Her ability is not like other people's ability, if she is like Mo Yun's ability, she can show it intuitively as soon as she wakes up. Such abilities are easier to understand. And these are supposed to be biased towards psychic abilities, and it will take a while to detect. Li Jian suspected that Professor Sun's diffusion reconnaissance, Lu Tianxing's spiritual invasion, etc., should have been concluded after a long period of experiments.
Finally, on the fifth day, Li Jian and the others came to the lake shown on the map.
The lake, as they expected, wasn't very big, but it wasn't too small, at least for the time being, and they couldn't see the other side from this angle. It's noon. The bright midday sun shines on the surface of the lake, like a shining mirror, which is very beautiful. In addition, if there is anything else in this lake that attracts the attention of Li Jian and others, that is, there is a small island in the middle of this lake!
A veritable island in the middle of a lake!
"Our destination, that's where we ......"
Lin Ying pointed to the island in the middle of the lake and said.
Just when Li Jian wanted to say something, Qin Hu suddenly pointed to the lake and shouted in surprise.
"Boss! Look! There are fish in the lake! ”
Follow the direction that Qin Hu is pointing. Sure enough, everyone saw that there were flashes of fish scales on the surface of the lake, and not one, but many.
"Boss! We don't have to nibble on cans and cookies anymore today! We have fresh fish to eat! ”
Qin Hu was very excited. It looks like he wants to rush into the lake to catch fish right away. After all, since the beginning of the apocalypse, it has been more difficult to eat fresh ingredients than to ascend to the sky, and generally their food is canned. Biscuits and the like, and many of them are past their expiration date. But even so, Li Jian's food is already considered extravagant compared to many people.
Since Lin Ying said that she wanted to go to that island in the middle of the lake. Then Li Jian looked along the lake, as if it was destined, and Li Jian saw a small wooden boat sunk by the lake. The small wooden boat did not look obviously damaged, but it was simply filled with water and sunk by the lake, Li Jian looked at it, and then asked Qin Hu, a power-type changer, to drag the small wooden boat out, and after it was put dry, it became the only tool for them to travel to and from the island in the middle of the lake.
"You guys wait here, Lin Ying and I will go to the island first to see what the situation is."
Li Jian told Qin Hu and them, and then Qin Hu took the hooligan A, B, C, and Ding plus the hooligan AB to discuss how to fish. As for Li Jian, he and Lin Ying got on a small wooden boat, found a tattered wooden board to make an oar, and rowed slowly towards the island in the middle of the lake.
"I feel like a couple who used to be boating in the park......
Lin Ying put her hand in the cold lake water, looked at the sparkling lake and smiled.
"Then this park is really quiet......
Li Jian quipped.
Not long after, the small wooden boat docked to a low-lying harbor-like shore on the island in the middle of the lake, Li Jian pulled out a saber from his waist, took the initiative to stand in front of Lin Ying, and took her to carefully board the island in the middle of the lake.
There are almost no traces of human activity on this island in the middle of the lake, but now it has become a paradise of mutated plants, and there is not even a single zombie to be seen. Even so, now Li Jian is more worried about mutant plants than zombies.
"These plants...... None of them seem to be aggressive types......"
All the way to the island in the middle of the lake, Lin Ying observed the surroundings and said.
Being reminded by Lin Ying like this, Li Jian realized that there were many mutant plants here that they had seen, and there were indeed no aggressive plants. This situation is very strange, because the mutant plants they see in the wild have more or less one or two aggressive plants, such as thorns that can crush people, or giant pitcher plants that digest human bodies.
But here, there is no such plant, but a lot of mutated plants with attractive looking fruits.
The island in the middle of the lake is not large, but it is not small, Li Jian and the others went deep into the interior of the island and found that there was a vacant lot in the center of the island, where there were several wooden huts, the style was biased towards the style of foreign country wooden houses, all of which were single-storey and independent. In addition, the clearing where the hut is located happens to be surrounded by many non-aggressive mutant plants, and if you don't walk in, you can't really see it from the outside, like a clearing in the forest.
There were no people or zombies in the hut, except for the dust, even the basic furniture and daily necessities, which seemed to have been left empty here before the end of the world began.
Li Jian and Lin Ying walked out of the hut, standing on the open space and looking at the bright sunlight above their heads, Li Jian couldn't help but sigh.
"What a great place to be......"
Lin Ying looked around thoughtfully at this time, and then suddenly said to Li Jian.
"This is it." (To be continued......)
