In the last days......

Under normal circumstances, most of the survivors would not choose to survive in the city!!

This can be considered common sense!!

Because of this, in some remote villages and those wilderness that were inaccessible before the Great Apocalypse, the number of survivors is far more dense than everyone imagined!!

There is a reason why people choose this way......

First of all, the countryside and those remote areas that are inaccessible are also very few because of the small number of people, and they are far less dense than cities and suburbs!

Although in these places, there will be a lot of mutant creatures!

But these mutated creatures, after all, are different from the Dark Chaser, except for a very few, most of them will not be able to target humans!

In addition, to a certain extent, these rural and remote areas are often rich in all kinds of materials!!

Of course......

This material does not refer to those modern daily necessities, but refers to food and raw materials!!

To take the simplest example......

In the countryside, there are many places where there is a habit of building granaries and cellars at home to store grain! This is especially true in grain-producing areas!

But does this happen in the homes of people living in cities and suburbs who prepare large quantities of food at home?

We can't say absolutely nothing!

But the proportion of families who can do this, in the entire urban family, is definitely less than one percent, or even one in a thousand!!

As for the rest......

In this last days, where human life is like a mustard, and even survival is in question. These two points alone are enough to be the majority of survivors, both rural and remote. It's rushing!!

…………

And it's already been mentioned once......

Xia Jian came out this time, although the main purpose was to attend the conference organized by the wartime committee!!

But in addition, Xia Jian actually has a strong hold, hoping to be able to observe more along the way, and now the survivors, the factors of survival status are in it!!

Why......

Investigate and learn about the human survivors. Today's living environment is one of them!

And more importantly, Xia Jian hopes to be able to absorb some of his own base from these survivors. Useful experience and ideas for future development!

And from now on......

The effect observed along the way is obviously very good!!

Not to mention those empty and too marginal, just talk about the idea of digging underground space and planting crops underground that Wang Zheng and they came up with. It is enough to solve his own base for Xia Jian. Those hundreds of thousands of people will face food problems in the future!!

In the underground fortifications, although there were large reserves of materials and high-tech production centers......

But as long as it is a material, there will always be a day when it will run out!

As for the production center, if it is actually started, it will also consume a lot of energy, accelerating the consumption of reserve energy!!

Now that he is now, Xia Jian wants to increase his strength. That's obviously not what he wants to see......

………………

Wait until the Tibetan mastiff under the crotch stops......

Xia Jian went down for life. As soon as he got up and down, he jumped onto King Kong's shoulder, skillfully removed the telescope from his neck, and condescendingly began to observe the surrounding environment......

Long......

Xia Jian reluctantly took the telescope away from his eyes......

Although along the way, I tried my best to avoid some areas where there may be a high density of dark chasers, but at some point, there are some things that you can't really avoid if you want to......

For example, now......

In front of you is a large area with no end in sight!!

Just looking at the scale, Xia Jian knew that this is definitely a large city with a population of more than 10 million, even if it is not much smaller than Pearl City!!

What made Xia Jian even more depressed was that according to his own observations, this large city seemed to have been connected to several small satellite cities around it, almost indistinguishable from each other, which also led to the depth of the entire urban area being very terrifying!

If you want to go around it completely, Xia Jian estimates that it will take one or two more days to travel!

And that's a conservative estimate......

Seeing that the journey that was originally only two or three days away suddenly came out by half!

Xia Jian's two eyebrows were screwed together at once......

Is it winding or ......

After a little hesitation, Xia Jian had already made a decision in his heart - that is, to go directly through the urban area of the city in front of him!!

Xia Jian really doesn't want to trouble, but this doesn't mean that Xia Jian will be afraid of things!

Pearl City is much bigger than the city in front of you, right?

But even if it is Mingzhu City, Xia Jian was not the same at the beginning, he went in and out a few times, and even slaughtered the biggest boss of the blood clan in Mingzhu City, the king-level spiritual blood clan!!

………………

At the same time, seeing that Xia Jian had not moved for a long time, the storm stopped the team behind him, controlled the Tibetan mastiff under his crotch, and slowly paced behind Xia Jian......

"Boss! Do we move on or? ”

has been following Xia Jian for so long, and the storm can more or less guess a little bit of Xia Jian's thoughts, so he has this question......

No, as soon as the storm's words fell, Xia Jian waved his hand and ordered: "Let's spread out and look around first, and see if we can find the route of the two waves of people in front of us!" ”

"Good ......"

Storm was ordered, and immediately answered, turned around and wanted to return to the team!!

But he had just turned around and hadn't had time to leave......

"Oh!! That's right......"

Xia Jian seemed to think of something, and hurriedly stopped him again, and added: "Wait a minute, remember to let everyone find a few locals to come back, maybe a few people will need to lead the way......

"No problem......"

Storm nodded, and turned back into the group again!

This time, Xia Jian didn't call him back again......

Although it has already been decided. This time we will cross this large city, but there is a lot of attention to which route to take......

In a strange city. And in the absence of a map and GPS, if you don't investigate first, you will dive into it, which is not called confidence and ability! That's called being stupid!

In the absence of a map, without landmarks, who would dare to say, in an unfamiliar modern city. Won't you get lost?

At least Xia Jian will get lost 100%!

Not to mention......

There is still a lot of danger in this city, and a large number of blood clans and dark chasers have gathered!!

If you're not careful, you'll get stuck in a situation where you're trapped in front and back!

Xia Jian himself is naturally not afraid. But the problem is, in such a situation, Xia Jian can't leave everyone behind, let's run away alone!!

It's ......

Xia Jian will remind the storm. Let them bring a few locals back!

With a few locals leading the way. The chances of getting lost are much less! Coupled with these locals, since they have been able to survive here until now, they must know which places in this city are dangerous and where people should not be approached! In this way, there is a great guarantee of safety!

However, it needs to be mentioned that this is just Xia Jian's backup plan!!

In the first few days. Xia Jian didn't learn by accident, in front of him. There are also two teams that are likely to be going to this tournament!!

In fact, the reason why Xia Jian let everyone disperse was because of the idea of those two teams!

Since those two teams are also going through here......

Xia Jian believes that they will definitely scout in advance and choose a relatively safe route!

If you can find the traces they left, then in Xia Jian's opinion, what you have to do next is much simpler, just follow the traces left by them!!

……………………

Half an hour later, the people who were arranged to go out to explore the nearby terrain rushed back one after another......

It's just that the results of this exploration are very unexpected......

Ten people, scattered in all directions, searched the vicinity for nearly ten kilometers! But it is very unbelievable that in this range, the people who were arranged out by the storm did not find any survivors in this range!

That's right......

Now are the end times! The survival situation of human beings in the last days is becoming more and more difficult!

However, in the surrounding area of such a big city, within an area of ten square kilometers, it is so rare that there is not a single survivor!!

Even if he was in Pearl City at that time, he had experienced several large-scale turmoil of the Dark Chaser, and this had never happened!!

Could it be that all the people in this city are dead?

When he first heard the news, Xia Jian couldn't help but think so......

But thankfully......

Although no local survivors were found, many traces of survivors' activities were found in the eastern side of the city......

And the soldier who brought this news judged that those traces should have been left in the past two days!

There are quite a few people!!

If there are no accidents, it should be the two teams in front of them, when they passed here, they stayed!!

After learning this news, Xia Jian was overjoyed......

With a wave of his hand, he immediately let the warrior lead the way in front of the team, leading the team in the direction he had said......

…………

Twenty minutes later......

Xia Jian and his entourage finally arrived at the place where the soldier found the traces!!

It was in a jungle......

In a park, to be exact!!

It's just that under the influence of the X-virus and nuclear radiation, the plants in the park have exploded with unprecedented reproductive ability and adaptability......

Even in the ice and snow at more than ten degrees below zero, it can't be stopped at all, these plants grow!!

In less than a year......

The park, which was originally planted with only a few plants, has now become a primeval jungle!

The big trees in the sky that can only be hugged by several people reach into the sky, and the lush branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun......

The traces left by those people are easy to find......

Right on the edge of this wood!!

Under the base of a few thick trees, Xia Jian found a few fires that had been completely extinguished!

These fires have been extinguished. But the ashes on the bottom, even in a dry state, were apparently left over from the recent past......

Except for these fires. Next to the fire, some gnawed bones were found, as well as some used daily necessities!

For example, discarded paper towels and empty Coke cans......

In addition, on the upper branches of these big trees, Xia Jian also carefully found a few simple, casually built with a few branches and vines, like a bird's nest!

It's just that these "bird's nests" are a bit big!

If there are no surprises. It should be those people, a place to rest!!

"The number of people in a batch should be around fifty......"

"As for the other batch of ......"

"It should be around thirty ......"

According to some of the things left at the scene, Xia Jian judged slightly. The approximate number of the two teams ahead of you!

And for sure......

Both teams are on foot! There is no means of transportation......

"Boss ......"

While Xia Jian was pondering these things left behind at the scene, the storm strode over......

"How's it going?"

Xia Jian looked up at the storm......

After arriving here just now, Xia Jian sent a storm. Follow the trails left by those people along the way. Let's see if we can roughly restore the route they chose......

Although Xia Jian is holding the route along the route of the first two teams, through the city!

But this does not mean that Xia Jian is 100% convinced that the route they take is the best and safest!

Before the large army passed, Xia Jian still cautiously sent people to go over and explore the way first!

Anyway, here, there is a Tibetan mastiff to lead the way!!

Comes and goes at breakneck speed. It won't take much time to send someone to explore the road!!

…………

listened to Xia Jian's inquiry. Storm nodded......

"It's a good route......

"There are very few settlements in the vicinity, and there are no commercial areas, and as for the front, I looked at the sign, and there seemed to be only a few large tile factories and cement factories in front of it......

"Tile factories and cement factories?"

Xia Jian nodded thoughtfully......

Before going to college, Xia Jian also moved tiles in a tile factory for a period of time, and he has some understanding of this kind of factory!

This kind of plant has no characteristics, that is, the dust is particularly serious to air pollution!

As for the cement plant!!

This factory, how harmful is it to the residents near the factory, as long as you are an earthling, you should know a little bit about it!!

Case......

Then there shouldn't be any big residential areas near this factory!!

Xia Jian made a decision immediately and said, "Okay, you tell me to go down and leave from here......"

"Yes!!"

……………………

Because there are traces left by the two teams in front of them......

This time......

The speed of Xia Jian's team is very fast!!

It only took more than an hour to pass through the entire large-scale factory area......

It's as expected......

Because it is a heavily polluting enterprise!

These factory areas, except for the factory buildings and the tall chimneys, are empty! Even the plants are very few!

Along the way, don't talk about humans!

Even the dark chaser, Xia Jian didn't see a few!!

It gives people a sense of desolation......

Wait through this huge industrial park!

What appeared in front of Xia Jian's eyes was a large river more than ten meters wide......

The river is fast!

Perhaps because of this, the entire river is frozen only near the shore! The flow of water in the center of the river has not been affected too much!!

Fortunately, in the upper reaches of the big river, less than five miles away, there is a bridge across the river!

This allowed Xia Jian to cross the river and save a lot of trouble!

On this bridge across the river, Xia Jian once again saw some traces left by the two teams in front of him......

Merely......

This time, it's not the traces they left behind when they rested!

On the deck of the bridge, Xia Jian found eggshells with a lot of bullets! And a lot of blood was found!

As for the corpses......

searched the entire bridge deck, but Xia Jian didn't see it!

After a preliminary observation of the scene, Storm, Yasha and others always felt that it should be the two teams in front of them that collided together, and there was a conflict after the last one!!

And......

It should be the team that is walking in front, and I accidentally found the team behind! That's why I chose to ambush on this bridge!!

As for the two teams, who will win and who will lose in the end......

Based on these traces left at the scene, it is difficult to tell!

And there is a very strange place......

After Xia Jian passed the bridge, the messy traces of the previous battle disappeared all of a sudden!

Not only did there be no footprints, but there was not even a trace of blood! It feels as if those two teams suddenly disappeared out of thin air!

Disappearing out of thin air, in reality, naturally cannot happen!

Then it can only be another situation: after the battle, the victorious side must have returned here and disposed of all the traces left by the battle!!

And since it can make it difficult for professionals like Yasha to find traces!

This shows that the person who deals with these traces on the other side is very professional!!

…………

But these are not what Xia Jian needs to care about now!!

Now what Xia Jian needs to care about is, what should I do now?

Is it to move on? Or do you want to keep looking for clues left behind by those two teams?

Keep moving......

If there is no one to lead the way, you will have to take some detours!

But if you really want to find the traces left by those people in front of you, it is obviously not a simple matter when the other party has already taken precautions......

What exactly?

Xia Jian was in a dilemma for a while......

But he didn't wait for Xia Jian to make a decision......

Yasha, who was sent to the front to explore the way, the storm has brought back a piece of news that Xia Jian has to pay attention to......

Ahead, probably less than ten miles away, the storm found a village that was not very large!

There is nothing strange about a small village!

But......

Just now, the storm actually found a few wisps of green smoke slowly rising in the sky above this small village!!
