Chapter 172: Just Passing By
(Girls' Literature)
Because the Great Sage and Meow were the first to face the high-level mutant bird. So the injuries of the two of them are somewhat serious. So Song Nan sent them to the well platform. Wait for them to leave the space. The situation of these two has basically stabilized.
Because the situation outside does not determine whether it is safe or not. So Yuan Xiaolin was resolutely left in the space by Song Nan. Just wait for the two of them to confirm that they are safe. Then take Yuan Xiaolin out of the space.
The woods are not dense. Trees are somewhat advanced, though. However, it does not have an attack system. Tang Shu and Song Nan cautiously moved forward for a long time. Along the way, he dealt with three or five Realm Mutant Beasts. But not a single zombie was found.
However, there was no sign of anyone either.
"It seems. After the end times. Humans, zombies, mutated animals. There seems to be a singular balance. Tang Shu tried his best to choose a way not to destroy the trees and grass. A slightly inquiring tone. Be cautious and careful: "Humans and zombies are natural enemies. It is also the opposite of mutant animals. Zombies and mutated animals are also opposites. Humans defend cities and bases. Mutant beasts are stationed in forests, green areas, and oceans. Zombies roam all over the place. It doesn't seem to matter. But it's strangely balanced. ”
Balanced. Song Nan followed behind Tang Shu. This is the first time I think of this question of "balance". It has always been. All she knew was that. Zombies are natural enemies. It's an enemy who will never die or die. It was the first time she had heard of it. There is a balance between species.
"You mean to say..."Song Nan thought for a moment. Suddenly a word came to mind: "Biological chain." ”
Tang Shu picked up the branches that blocked the road. Stretched out his hand and grabbed Song Nan: "It's not a biological chain." Should be. A balanced chain of coexistence of extinction. ”
"Roar." The roar of the mutant animal suddenly appeared. Song Nan didn't panic either. She'd already spotted the mutant rabbit once. It's just that it's always hiding away. Song Nan didn't think of doing anything more. Unexpectedly. It rushed over anyway.
Tang Shu stepped forward. Protect Song Nan behind him. The long knife at his waist was drawn. Directly meet the average size of the domestic pig mutant rabbit.
Although the reminder of the mutant rabbit seems huge. The buckteeth are sharp and scary to look at. The dirt kicked up by the kick seemed ferocious. But under Tang Shu's deadly and ruthless attack. Actually three or five times. was stabbed in the heart.
Because I had to fight once in a while before. After the battle, he had to go into the space and change his clothes. It's a lot of trouble. So Tang Shu chose a more elegant way to avoid this time. Until the end of the battle. The mutant rabbit had Tang Shu's long knife stuck in his body, and he died. Tang Shu was far away. There was not a drop of blood on his body.
"Let's have roast rabbit for dinner today." Tang Shu looked at the blood all over the ground: "Let's get out of here quickly." lest they attract any mutant beasts to come over. Song Nan nodded. Return the corpse of the mutant rabbit to the warehouse. Hand Tang Shu a clean long knife. The two of them walked quickly away from this pool of blood.
"Your balanced chain. What is the meaning. Song Nan hadn't forgotten what Tang Shu was saying before. Although the pace of progress has accelerated. Still raised their own doubts.
"Rabbits eat grass. After the mutation. Its staple food also seems to be plant-based. You should be able to see it. "The mutant rabbit still has a few weeds in its mouth. Apparently he was still eating. Song Nan also saw it. So I nodded in the affirmative.
"But the mutant rabbit will attack humans. This violates the law of killing for the purpose of predation in the law of the biological chain. Tang Shu's voice was clean and steady. Even if he is talking about very serious things. But it still made the only listener Song Nan feel warm and tight. "It's about survival. But if it's for advancement. Humans hunt mutants and zombies. It's for the crystal nucleus in their brain as an energy source for upgrading. Then humans. And why did they become the target of their hunting? ”
Tang Shu obviously never delved into this issue. Or maybe I ever thought about it. But it has never been directly dissected. Now. Suddenly, this question was clearly spread out. Tang Shu's questioning tone became deeper and deeper. Until. He stopped unconsciously.
Song Nan didn't expect it. It's just a simple conversation. But this question has recently been raised.
Tang Shu turned around. The shock in their eyes that could not be hidden made it difficult for both of them to accept it for a while. This conjecture is crazy.
"This possibility... Probably not..."Song Nan himself knows it. How pale this negation is.
Tang Shu and Song Nan looked at each other silently for a moment. The atmosphere became solemn.
"Or not. Let's go back and fix it. Just right. I can't worry about the situation of Meow and the Great Sage. "Half an hour. Song Nan finally came up with an excuse. Tang Shu nodded slightly. My heart is still a little heavy. Song Nan smiled and pulled his arm. The two of them dodged back into the space.
Song Nan calculated the time. It was just dawn the next day. Song Nan, Tang Shu, Yuan Xiaolin. The great sage with a lively sage suddenly appeared in the woods. Keep trying to make your way out of the woods. Two or three days later. Meow also recovered almost at the same time. He also participated in the army of pathfinding.
It's fine when there's a big road. Song Nan's car reserve is still very considerable. Just drive and you can move forward. Three people and two beasts are happy. It's more like a spring outing. But the extent of the woods made up here is really large. Most of the place. There is still a need to work hard to forge a path forward.
And most importantly, it is. They found out the next day. This compass is not back to normal at all. I don't know how I hit the tree's rings on the first day; Or not. Variation of trees. As a result, the direction of the growth rings has changed. The compass doesn't point in the right direction. They can't be sure where they should go. Later trips. Basically, I started to see that the road was easy to walk. Or the direction of a man-made trace. And they went that way.
Until it was three or four days old. Even Yuan Xiaolin couldn't bear it. I'm starting to spend more time in the space. They still hadn't seen a single figure.
There are many different kinds of mutated animals in the woods. In the past few days, they have tried the taste of mutant beast meat in a different way. Unable to eat or encountering multiple mutant beasts. It is all stored in a natural anti-spoilage space warehouse. If you encounter a mutant animal that is not harmful. Song Nan will also catch it in the space and play with it.
I saw that the space was getting more and more lively. Tang Shu and Song Nan became more and more irritable.
The humidity and fishiness in the air became more and more intense. If not encountered some swamp. That is, it should be to the seaside. The northern climate and moderation of the Shanhaiguan area. The lack of conditions for the formation of marshes is too serious. So the two of them are more inclined to the idea of the seaside.
But on the fifth day. When they finally met the "sea" and the people. Still taken aback by the situation in front of me.
Bohai Bay is a bay that is recessed inland. The port of several cities in Linwan has always been an important place for transportation and trade. Tang Shu and Song Nan also imagined what it would be like to be sober near the seaside. But I didn't expect it. I was shocked by a huge castle surrounded by the surging black waves and gushing rocks.
"Sister. Is that the castle? "Yuan Xiaolin also has a lot of fairy tale books. I still have a sense of yearning for the kind of building with a sharp tip. After seeing the castle clearly. Although I was more suspicious of the black color. But I was still looking forward to asking Song Nan.
Bohai Bay. Black Castle...
"Ahh It's a castle. But this is a black castle. It's not a princess's white castle. Song Nan touched Yuan Xiaolin's head. An answer is already in my mind.
This is the archetype of the eternal base of the previous life. But the name at this time. It should be called the Bohai Bay Base.
But. Getu probably won't be here at this time.
Thinking of Getu. will make her think of Liao Rus. That inexplicable feeling. Not guilty, though. But it's definitely not euphoria.
"Yo. New. ”
A sudden sound. Song Nan and Tang Shu looked over. But it's not shabby. A young man in a single page who definitely can't see the color of the clothes. is looking at Tang Shu with flirtatious eyes. Song Nan beside him.
Song Nan could almost hear it. The man's unabashed tsk sound.
Tang Shu a thousand steps. Hide Song Nan and Yuan Xiaolin behind him. Look at the young man. The pressure in his eyes could not be ignored: "What is this place?" ”
Tang Shu's momentum really made the young people finally face up to their strength. That's when I noticed. Not only were these three men neatly dressed. Still holding cats and monkeys. The eyes are pure and imposing. Did he mess with someone he shouldn't mess with?
The young man panicked for a moment. I was laughed at by my own foolishness again. It doesn't matter who it is. Here it is. There were only two of them. That is obedience or death. These three people. This man is the only one who looks powerful. He couldn't protect this woman and the child at all.
Because it's clean. So Song Nan looks very attention-grabbing. A small and fair face with already attractive facial features. It's even more appealing. Yuan Xiaolin beside him is young. But it's also clean. And they are also wearing beautiful children's clothes. It looks like a real little princess. Let's be honest. After the end times. This young man has never seen a little girl in a princess dress.
Even the children of the so-called "nobles" who are of high status in this castle. They can only ensure that they have clean new clothes to wear. And this little girl...
The young man's heart finally beat a little drum. What the hell are they?
"Little brother. I wonder what kind of place this is. Can you tell me. Seeing that the young man's eyes finally became serious. Tang Shu's tone also changed slightly.
"This is the main castle of the base of Bohai Bay. You guys... Are you here to defect to the base? ”
Defection.
Tang Shu shook his head: "No." It's just a passing by. ”
