Chapter 32: The small book is not enough

Binding the skeletons were a few withered vines.

Tang Ming also found out at this time that the top of his head was covered by a huge plant root system.

But they're all dead.

It is estimated that the weather is too dry to replenish the water.

Tang Ming looked around a few times, and although he found no signs of life, he still ignited all the roots covered by his head with a fire.

Smoke billowed and the entire space was lit up by firelight.

The choking smoke and dust also forced him to temporarily retreat to the next floor.

I waited for more than an hour below before the smoke and dust on it cleared.

The air was a little hot, but it was acceptable.

Out of habit, Tang Ming still took the flashlight and shone it on it.

"What is this?"

Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be some kind of crystal inlaid in the ceiling with a little floccule.

It is a number of cubes of various sizes, which may be pure black, or they may be the current color of flames.

However, the ceiling was five meters away from him, and he wanted to check it, but he couldn't do it for a while.

"See?"

Tang Ming hesitated for a moment, but decided to take a look.

As a collector, it's very difficult to see such a novelty and not look at it.

Take the fire truck directly from your backpack and maneuver the ladder to the top.

Tang Ming didn't rashly touch it directly with his hands, but took a piece of wood and poked it hard at the position where the crystal was inlaid with the wall.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound suddenly sounded on the ground.

The crystals that landed on the ground came to rest after a few ejections on the ground.

The smoky makeup on the surface was shaken off quite a bit in the process.

"Transparent?"

Seeing that there was no danger, Tang Ming poked all the crystals above his head one by one and dropped them to the ground.

There are more than 20 pieces in total, like glass.

Together, they look like bricks of different sizes.

Tang Ming took out a steel bar and smashed it, and found that after this thing was broken, it would melt at an extremely fast speed.

"This is water?"

Seeing that the ground below was wet, Tang Ming had a surprised expression on his face.

"So this is the plant's water reserve?"

Thinking of this, Tang Ming took out a cup, the shell of the crystal was very hard, but he had electrician's pliers, so it was easy to break it.

Suddenly, a large amount of fresh water poured out of it, not to mention only a small piece, but in just a few seconds, the cup he took out was filled with water and began to overflow outward.

Obviously, this crystal is the product of forced compression of water.

Plants have mutated, and so has their ability to survive.

Yes, that's reasonable.

Later, after killing mutated creatures, you can also see if they have anything similar in them.

For example, it can be ignited.

Thinking like this, Tang Ming looked at the water in the cup.

"I don't know if this water can be drunk."

Didn't dare to try it for yourself.

"When I go back, find a scavenger who is looking for me and give him a drink."

Thinking of this, Tang Ming collected all the crystals on the ground.

All of them add up to half a backpack, a little heavy, but still within acceptable ranges.

Taking the fire truck back, Tang Ming also walked outside.

The wholesale market is not far from the subway exit, only a few hundred meters away.

So as soon as he walked out of the subway station, Tang Ming saw his goal.

And then the 'target' seemed to see him.

It was a large, pale tree that had taken root above the wholesale market, and its branches covered the entire sky above.

Countless skeletal roots run through every corner of the earth.

And on these root systems that run through the earth, all kinds of mutated creatures 'grow'.

These mutated creatures behave in a single way, their eyes hollow, and they hang there like a corpse.

However, at this moment, these corpses near the subway station were all looking at Tang Ming's side without exception.

The dense white eye icons all opened in Tang Ming's field of vision.

His scalp was tingling when he saw it.

It was evident that the smoke from the freshly burned roots caught the attention of these eyes.

"Excuse me."

The moment Tang Ming looked at these eyes, he didn't hesitate without any hesitation, turned around and ran.

"Boom~"

The earth began to tremble.

Tang Ming clearly felt that something was about to penetrate from the ceiling overhead.

At this time, he also understood how those seniors died.

If the spicy big root is inserted, who can stand it?

Anyway, Tang Ming couldn't stand it.

Fortunately, the underground is dim, and the skeletal tree seems to rely on its 'eyes' to find prey.

So after Tang Ming entered the stealth state, the other party completely lost his position and quieted down.

This made Tang Ming breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he quickly returned to the tunnel.

Then he took out the fire truck, stepped on the accelerator to the end, and left this dangerous area as fast as possible.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Tang Ming also completed the exploration of the other two lots, but they were not suitable.

It's too dangerous.

"This trip out, the book is almost exhausted."

In the driver's seat of the fire truck, Tang Ming looked at the notebook with only the last page left in his hand, a little helpless.

It's still too dangerous to stay away from human activity.

All sorts of outrageous mutated creatures are everywhere.

If it weren't for his good mentality, he would probably have been scared out of a heart attack by now.

"It's not going to be in vain, is it?"

Tang Ming was a little worried.

Looking at the simple map in his hand, he was already at the terminus of the railway line where he was now.

That's the park he chose in the first place, the site where it was located.

If the park is still the same as the previous places, then he needs to consider whether to continue to choose the camp in the center of the city.

After all, the outskirts of this city, as far as he saw now, were no longer a question of whether they were dangerous or not, but in what posture they died.

If it weren't for him, it would have been cold early.

Soon, after making sure that there was no danger in the subway station, Tang Ming also cautiously poked his head out of the subway.

With the previous experience, he acted more cautiously this time.

After a period of observation, he found that the park in the distance was a little different from what he expected.

Instead of being lush, it's scorched black.

It looks like it was just a big fire a while ago.

"Only a few mutated creatures?"

After glancing around, Tang Ming found that there were only two or three mutated creatures around, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

However, this hint of surprise was quickly restrained by him.

His previous experience was a wake-up call.

Naturally, they did not dare to let their guard down.

While being alert to the surroundings, he also began to explore the park with the hidden ability of stealth, looking for dangers that might be hidden in the shadows.

The park is large, and there are a lot of mutated creatures, which are a little more dangerous than around his camp, but they are still within the range of tolerability.

"This is a bomb shelter?!"

It may be that the previous bad luck has been used up, and when Tang Ming was investigating the danger, he actually let him find the entrance of an air-raid shelter hidden under a few rocks.

There was a metal door outside the entrance to the cave, which was hidden, blocking out all the light from the outside, making it pitch black inside.

"Hopefully it's not occupied by mutated creatures."

Seeing this, Tang Ming took a deep breath, then picked up the rifle in his hand, walked into it vigilantly, and began to explore this unknown place.

If not, this is a great place to hide.
