At noon, Cheng Yang and the three of them had already crossed thirty or forty kilometers in this forest.

As Cheng Yang observed before, there were indeed no mountains in the Wucheng area, and all the places he walked through were plains.

It's just that the difficulty of this plain is not much lower than that of the mountainous areas, and there are not only a large number of demonic beasts here, but also dense forests.

Today's weather is not very good, it is a rare cloudy day after the apocalypse, if it weren't for Cheng Yang's compass in his hand, they might not even be able to distinguish the direction.

Liu Xiyue looked at the sky and couldn't help asking, "Lord, do you say it will rain for a while?" ”

Cheng Yang looked at it and said, "Maybe it's going to rain, who can say clearly?" ”

In fact, it will rain after the end of the day, but it will rain very rarely. Sometimes Cheng Yang couldn't figure out why the crops in the farm could grow so well with so little rain, and the flow of water in the river did not decrease in the slightest.

If you are a person who has just experienced the end of this life, you may also take a closer look at this matter. But Cheng Yang has been surviving in the apocalypse for a year, and he knows that many things after the apocalypse cannot be judged according to the original rules. Even if it doesn't rain at all in the sky, there is still rushing water in the river, and Cheng Yang will not feel the slightest strange.

Although Liu Xiyue didn't get an answer, she didn't continue to ask again.

Although Cheng Yang and others did not have any intuitive impression of Wucheng after the apocalypse, they had been to Wucheng before the apocalypse. And, the earthquake when the end came. Although the terrain of the whole world has changed to a certain extent, it is only the terrain, and all the cities have not been displaced horizontally. Therefore, they can all roughly guess the direction of Wucheng.

Walked for almost half an hour. An endless ruin appeared in front of Cheng Yang and the others, and the ruins were completely barren, and they stayed for nearly a minute, not even a single soldier was seen.

"Aren't there a lot of people in Wucheng? Why don't you see a warlord? Tan Chao asked strangely.

Cheng Yang said: "This is normal, now that Wucheng City has probably opened all the passages out of the city, the scope of activities of the fighters in the city should have been transferred outside the main city." It is also common sense that there are few people in the main city. ”

"In that case, we need to find the altars of the unoccupied territory around the city of Wucheng. Isn't it easy? Liu Xiyue said with some worry.

Cheng Yang said: "This is also expected. After all, there are nearly 10 million fighters in Wucheng, and this number is even piled up with their lives. It can also open up several passages out of the city. I'll take a turn around the Wucheng area in a while to see how it turns out. If there really isn't an altar of unoccupied territory, I'm afraid we will have to look for it in the surrounding districts and counties of Wucheng. ”

"What about us?" Liu Xiyue hurriedly asked.

Cheng Yang said: "You guys are looking for a place to hide nearby, and I'm going to be faster alone." The rule is that you can explore the surroundings in four or five hours at most. ”

Liu Xiyue and the others also understood this truth, and although they were a little depressed in their hearts, they both agreed.

Subsequently, Cheng Yang first took Liu Xiyue and the others to find a place to stay, and then chose a direction and rushed out.

Cheng Yang was clockwise along the ravine on the outskirts of Wucheng City, and he ran for more than 30 kilometers before finally seeing the first passage out of the city. Along the way, he also met a lot of martial arts warriors. But he cleverly avoided them.

This passage out of the city was wider than any passage out of the city that Cheng Yang had seen before, almost more than twice as much as Xiangcheng. Cheng Yang could imagine how many demonic beasts were guarding this passage at the beginning. How difficult it is for these people in the main city of Xiangcheng to open up this passage.

Now that these are no longer important, Cheng Yang saw that on this passage, there were at least two hundred warriors guarding it. Cheng Yang used the reconnaissance technique from afar, and found that these guys were all middle-level fighters at the very least, and there were more than a dozen high-level fighters among them.

Such a lineup is already very strong in all the main cities. What's more, compared to the opening of wasteland to the outside world. Guarding this passage out of the city is not a particularly important task, and it is possible to send such a strong lineup. It shows how powerful the forces behind it are.

Cheng Yang paused around for a while, and found a pair of well-formed warriors coming out of the passage, without receiving the slightest inspection from the guards, and went straight to the north.

Cheng Yang thought for a while, and then followed.

The weakest of those fighters were all mid-level apprentice-level fighters, and their speed was still very fast, and in just a few minutes, they reached their destination.

What appeared in front of Cheng Yang at this moment was a village with a level 1 wall, and the four gates were constantly filled with warriors coming in and out, and it looked quite prosperous.

There were a few warriors guarding each gate, and even on the narrower level 1 wall, there were people patrolling around, and it seemed to be heavily guarded.

In Cheng Yang's eyes, this kind of defense is like a chicken, a dog, and he can break it alone. But now Cheng Yang can't do this, once he starts a war with this station, it is likely to offend the entire Wucheng main city forces.

Although with the current strength of Luofeng Town, it is not afraid of the main city of Wucheng, but once the two sides start a war, it will be very difficult for Luofeng Town to take Wucheng City with a small loss in a short period of time.

In the eyes of any surviving human, the greatest enemy at the moment is the Demon Beast, and most of them don't want to fight the human forces unless it is necessary. What's more, Cheng Yang was reborn a year after the end of the world, and he knew better than anyone how difficult it would be for human beings to survive in the future.

Since the territorial altar outside this passage had already been occupied, Cheng Yang didn't plan to stay here anymore, and quietly turned around and left.

Five hours passed quickly, and Cheng Yang circled along Wucheng City, running a distance of almost three hundred kilometers.

There were as many as six field stations he discovered, but all of them were occupied by the forces of Wucheng City without exception. As for whether these field stations were occupied by the same force, Cheng Yang did not know.

This result has long been expected by Cheng Yang, but to say that there is no disappointment in his heart is also a lie.

Cheng Yang's detection is not limited to these. He found that now the forces of the main city of Wucheng City have not only completely opened the passage of the main city and occupied the territorial altars around the main city, but also the area of outward expansion is also very wide.

According to Cheng Yang's incomplete estimates, more than 15 kilometers around Wucheng City have now become the activity areas of the fighters, and even now they are expanding outward at an extremely fast speed.

This is a good phenomenon for the entire human race, since the main city of Wucheng City is like this, the situation of other provincial main cities should not be much different. But as far as Cheng Yang or Luofeng Town are concerned, this is not necessarily a good thing, because the stronger the power of Wucheng City, the greater the threat to Luofeng Town's territory.

After returning to the original place, Cheng Yang called Liu Xiyue and the others out, and briefly talked about the situation of the trip.

For this result, Liu Xiyue and the others were also quite helpless, and they could only prepare to leave the vicinity of the main city of Wucheng City according to the plan they had set.

Before leaving, Cheng Yang contacted Li Wanshan with the sound transmission jade talisman and asked him to immediately send someone to the main city of Xiangcheng City to ask Zhao Yi and ask him if there was any progress in the released search mission.

In just over 20 minutes, Cheng Yang had already gotten the answer, no one had completed the task of finding someone issued by Wucheng, but Liu Hao's parents had been found, and they were all safe and sound.

I believe that it won't be long before Liu Hao can know the news, Cheng Yang seems to be able to think of his ecstatic appearance. He was happy for his brother in his heart.

Liu Xiyue was a little disappointed after getting the news, and Cheng Yang comforted: "Xiyue, don't worry too much, sometimes no news is good news, at least it means that the possibility that your parents are still alive is still very high." ”

Cheng Yang is not untargeted, because Cheng Yang instructed Zhao Yi at the beginning that the task issued by each city is not only to find the other party, even if it can provide the real situation of the other party, it can be regarded as completing the task, but without bringing the other party back to the alchemy room, the reward of the task will be much lower, anyway, don't think about that three-yuan pill.

But even so, Cheng Yang believes that if anyone knows the news of the death of the person he is looking for, he will definitely go to the mission hall to hand in the task as soon as possible, so it makes sense that Cheng Yang's statement that his parents are still alive is very reasonable.

Liu Xiyue's feelings are still a little low, and Cheng Yang is helpless about it.

At that moment, Cheng Yang took Liu Xiyue and the others to walk in the direction away from the main city of Wucheng.

The direction they chose this time was to the northeast, where there was a district in Wucheng City, called Huangpo District. The current main city of Wucheng includes many of the former main urban areas, but the Huangpo District is not among them.

Before Cheng Yang came to Wucheng, he had carefully studied the regional characteristics of Wucheng.

Before the end of the day, there were a total of thirteen districts and counties in Wucheng, of which nine were included in the main city area, and only Nanhan District, Huangpo District, Xinzhou District and Tuan County were not included, and the closest district to Chengyang is Huangpo District.

Cheng Yang planned to search Huangpo District first, it would be better if there was a territorial altar, if not, then he would have to go to a few other districts and counties. However, Cheng Yang believes that among these districts and counties, there must be a territorial altar outside the ruins of a certain county seat, and there is more than one territorial altar.

This area already belongs to the vicinity of the main city area, although Wucheng City belongs to the provincial main city, and the average strength of the demonic beasts is slightly stronger, but it is also very limited. With Cheng Yang's ability to be three people and one tiger, it is still very easy to walk through it.

When Cheng Yang and the others walked out of the area that had been cleared, their travel speed was reduced a lot in vain, and they had to exterminate some of the demonic beasts that they couldn't avoid. Until it was completely dark, they had not yet reached the ruined city of Huangpo District. (To be continued)
