Six hours later.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan came to the football country, and there is still no need to check for entry, after all, there is only one city left in the whole country, most of the capable people have already left here, and the rest of the people live a life of extreme shortage of materials.

Chen Ji didn't meet anyone else along the way, and after entering the football country, there were only a few highways left on the road to the outside world, and he could barely drive.

They didn't take the main road either, Huang Yuwen simply activated his ability, so that the car turned into a water drift and walked on the ground.

Under such violent driving, even if there is a ability to protect the car, the people in the car are choked enough.

When the car tumbled into a small town, Chen Ji almost didn't throw up.

"Get out of the car first, there seems to be someone in front!"

Chen Ji opened the car door and got out of the car, helped Zhou Wan down by the way, and the two rested on the car together.

"Hey...... I can't help it, I can't do anything beyond the pilot, the car can't change into an airplane. ”

"Next time you're flying?"

"Yes, yes, but there's no airport."

While the two were chatting, a few figures faintly appeared in the town in front of them, looking towards here.

It was already on the edge of a rainforest, and a tributary of the Amazon River ran through the town, seventy or eighty kilometers from where Ma'en had found.

After entering this country, Chen Ji didn't meet anyone else along the way, but he didn't expect to see traces of human habitation here, and he saw fires coming out from a distance.

"Could it be related to Lin Zhiyang?"

Zhou Wan cautiously looked at the town ahead.

Lin Zhiyang will not appear here for no reason, most likely with the people of the Dark Doomsday Society, but I don't know why they came to the rainforest near the Amazon River.

"Let's take a look first, just be careful."

Chen Ji is still confident in the strength of herself and Zhou Wan, the two of them are enough to deal with most difficulties, if not, she can still call Mu Xiaoxiao, and her combat effectiveness is even more explosive.

Everyone else had no opinion, Huang Yuwen, Huang Xiao, Kong Xiaomin and others all got out of the car to follow.

Chen Ji walked ahead, and saw several men in dirty coats standing on the side of the road in the dark red sunlight from a distance, and when they got closer, one of them shouted loudly in this direction:

"Hey, are you here to pick us up?"

He speaks English.

Chen Ji's heart moved, and he replied in not very proficient English: "Are you all here?" ”

The rest were silent.

Nowadays, there are very few people who can drive in the wild, and it is not surprising that the other party admits his mistake.

The man on the other side breathed a sigh of relief and said vaguely, "Of course we all have to believe in the great dark god, but our children are too young to participate in the ceremony, so this time they stay, and we can just follow." ”

Chen Ji learned several pieces of information:

There are still people in the town, and the Dark Doomsday Society has come here and asked them to participate in some kind of ritual, which seems to be deep in the rainforest.

"Humph!"

Chen Ji pretended to be angry and snorted, making the few people on the opposite side silent, even after Chen Ji approached, they didn't dare to take the initiative to ask.

Although they saw that Chen Ji and the others were all yellow faces, they looked a little strange and did not dare to question it.

Chen Ji looked at the appearance and dress of these people.

They are supposed to be of the indigenous race here, with dark skin and black hair, somewhat similar to the yellow race.

However, these people also seem to have some mixed blood, and their eyes are very deep.

Several people are dressed simply, like vagabonds, and their bodies are very thin, which is estimated to be the result of not having enough to eat all year round.

Chen Ji glanced at them, and these people lowered their heads one after another.

"Do you remember the place of the ceremony?"

Chen Ji asked, "Can you go over by yourself?" ”

Several people looked embarrassed, and one of them said, "Sir, there are many mutated creatures in the rainforest, and we can't go deep into the rainforest, can we follow you?" ”

Sure enough, it was to the rainforest.

Chen Ji asked a few more questions, knowing that they had received a promise from a certain messenger of the Dark Doomsday Society that they would get what they wanted by attending a ritual once.

Food, clothing, fuel, etc.

As for why they were invited, it is estimated that they don't know, Chen Ji did not ask directly.

"Come along."

Chen Ji asked these people to tie the back of the car with sleds and skateboards, which was a little colder, but fortunately they didn't have to walk.

"Thank you, Sir!"

Several people thanked each other, and the team member Zhu Gao took the opportunity to ask their names, knowing that their names were David, Luis, Felipe, etc., and learned that they had been living in the town.

"Why do you have so much wood?" Huang Yuwen asked strangely.

"There are a lot of trees in the forest that have not mutated, so we went to cut them down and burn them."

"Ugh."

Huang Yuwen patted his head, he was stupid.

David, who looks like he is in his forties, explained, with a sad expression: "But recently we have been getting less and less food, and we have sent a few young people to the capital, and there is no news of all of them, and there are only about forty people in the town now......"

David said a lot of things, letting Chen Ji know how they probably lived.

In the metropolis, post-apocalyptic people burned everything they could.

But people living near the Amazon forest have enough firewood to cut wood if they are willing to go deeper.

However, there are only about 40 people left in a town, which shows that it has also gone through a lot of things to lose most of its population.

"Let's go."

Chen Ji didn't pity them, he still let them stand on the skateboard and let the car drag away.

David thanked them again, stood on the skateboard, and pulled the rope tightly.

As the car started and drove past the town, Chen Ji saw people in several houses, and he could hear the shouts of children, but they didn't speak English.

"What they're shouting is that Daddy has a good trip, come back early or something."

Zhou Wan acted as a translator to prove that David and the others should not be lying.

Chen Ji smiled: "Do you still know the language here?" ”

"I have learned some of the grapevine language they speak~"

Zhou Wan proudly showed off, what she learned before the end of the day was almost useless.

"Awesome."

Chen Ji held her little hand and chatted with her in a low voice.

Also keep an eye on the outside.

The off-road vehicle drove forward at a speed of 34 per hour, and after driving for more than half an hour, the stumps on the ground turned into trees.

All the trees around the town had been cut down, and they had to run here if they wanted to collect more wood.

Fortunately, only the first four months were too cold, and the temperature in the next three years was minus 5 degrees, which greatly reduced the consumption of wood.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a forest."

Zhou Wan held Chen Ji's hand, looked out the window, and said with a little emotion.

She had gone to Earth, but in her own world, she hadn't seen a forest for a long time.

Trees can only be seen in sparsely populated areas.

However, the trees were dead, and the leaves were blown away by the wind, leaving only the branches bare, covered with snow and ice, and the lights of cars shining through, and the forest dark and cold.

Once the largest forest on Earth, known as the lungs of the Earth, not only have all the trees withered, but the animals have also died or mutated, leaving only devastation.

Just like the earth now, and human society now.

Chen Ji comforted her.

An hour later, when David and the others were shivering with cold, they finally saw the light ahead.

The further the car went, the more lights there became, as if a large number of people were coming from all directions, gathering deep in the forest for an unprecedented event.

"This ......"

After seeing it clearly, Chen Ji was sincerely amazed, this is indeed a grand event!

More than 500 cars were parked in a hazard all around, the forest had cleared a vast field, and tens of thousands of people surrounded a pitch-black platform in the center.

The platform seems to have been made of black wood, but the way it was built was extremely crude, that is, it was stacked haphazardly, and only a wooden platform was built on the top.

On the platform, a huge black flower was placed!

"Them!"

Zhou Wan tightened her eyebrows, according to her understanding of black flowers, if this thing wanted to survive, it had to parasitize on the corpse of a creature.

The black flowers on the high platform are so huge, and they are in full bloom, proving that it must also be parasitic on large creatures.

"Wait, Chen Ji, that high platform ......!"

"Hmm."

Chen Ji nodded, "It should be a very large tree mutation, the corpse after being killed." ”

Zhou Wan calmed down: "What do they want to do?" Just a ceremony? ”

"I don't know, let's go, let's take a closer look."

Chen Ji pulled her out of the car and asked Huang Yuwen to find a place to park at will.

Originally, he thought that after coming to the scene, there would be people from the Dark Doomsday Society coming to question and interrogate, but he didn't expect that there would be no need at all, tens of thousands of people gathered around the high platform at will, and many of them were fanatical, shouting and worshiping.

The scene was chaotic.

Tens of thousands of people gathered, and if it was before the apocalypse, the intelligence officers of various countries would have known about it.

But now it's the end of the world, and the people of the Dark Doomsday Society have chosen to hold a meeting in the deserted Amazon forest, so that the matter has not been reported at all.

It is also possible that the people of the Dark Doomsday Society have done a lot of actions, and countries no longer want to track them.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan got in smoothly.

Seeing that David and Louis were still following, he casually said, "You can move freely." ”

Several people glanced at each other, but still chose to follow behind.

Chen Ji didn't care about them anymore, and pulled Zhou Wan through the crowd.

In addition to the people of the Dark Doomsday Society, there were many new believers like David, Chen Ji asked a few people, and found that they all came with him for a certain purpose, or for supplies, or for wanting to join the meeting.

No one was forcibly arrested, which surprised Chen Ji:

"Wu Ruonan also came here for a certain purpose?"

He didn't see Wu Ruonan, nor did he see Lin Zhiyang, there were too many people.

"Perhaps...... Let's go over there. ”

Zhou Wan pointed to a few wooden houses that had been temporarily erected under the high platform, and there were a few people wearing black religious robes and seriously distorted bodies outside.

Chen Ji and her came to the neighborhood and took a closer look at the crowd.

There were people in the house, but I don't know if there were Wu Ruonan and Lin Zhiyang.

"I'm not feeling well."

Zhou Wan held his hand, whispered, and looked around, "The environment is not very comfortable." ”

Chen Ji snorted, "It seems that because of this group of people, the atmosphere here is different from that in the forest." If you can't stand it, just tell me, I'll find another place to kiss you. ”

Zhou Wan's face was a little red, where is it good to kiss it, it is right to let him take a picture of the light ball technique.

The two of them walked around the venue again, and finally confirmed that there was only one high platform and a few wooden houses, and nothing else.

"Brother Chen!"

Huang Yuwen found him, lowered his voice and said, "Shall we go to the wooden house to find Wu Ruonan?" If she was here, she would know a lot of information. ”

Chen Ji thought for a moment, "How long will it take for those people from Grandma Luo's company to come?" ”

"It should be fast, we will walk slowly after entering the forest."

"Wait for them, let them come forward, and you won't be able to call someone if you can't wait for them."

"Straight call? Well, yes, it's impossible to sneak into the cabin. ”

Huang Yuwen had to wait patiently.

Kong Xiaomin beside him was a little nervous, there were at least a thousand people from the Dark Doomsday Society here, and he didn't know how many powerful people were there.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan found a tree stump to sit down and waited.

Half an hour later, he saw the president, director, and general manager of Grandma Luo's company, that is, Cao Qing, squeezing through the crowd and walking towards the wooden house.

Huang Yuwen stepped forward and quietly communicated with them.

The two sides seemed to have reached an opinion, Cao Qing stood not far from the wooden house and shouted there: "Chairman, are you there?" ”

Shouting like this in a noisy crowd is actually not too conspicuous.

But the response he received was:

"Arrest him!"

A man's angry voice came from inside the room, and several people from the Dark Doomsday Society immediately took action, quickly came to Cao Qing, stretched out their twisted palms and grabbed him.

Cao Qing's face sank, and he didn't dare to approach this group of seriously deformed people, so he dodged and dodged, but immediately after, seven or eight more people from the Dark Doomsday Society came over, and more people in black robes looked over.

It's hard to escape.

Unless Cao Qing also has a domain-level ability!

Several leaders of Grandma Luo Co., Ltd. all had ugly faces.

"Stop!"

A woman's voice came from inside the wooden house again, but this time she spoke in Xia Chinese.

"Chairman!!"

The ugly expressions of Cao Qing and the others turned into surprise in an instant.

Their chairman is really in the house!

But what's going on? Is the chairman going to join the dark apocalypse?

In the middle of a wooden house, a few people walked out.

At the head was a thin man with black flower branches wrapped around his face, unable to see his original appearance, black branches wrapped around his entire face and neck, revealing only a pair of strange eyes.

"It's the bishop of the Dark Church!"

Beside Chen Ji, Huang Yuwen's face also became serious, and explained that there are only four bishops in the Dark Doomsday Society, and they are the most powerful people under the Pope, and their strength is not clear, and few people have seen them make a move

The most important characteristic of the Dark Bishops is that they must carry black flowers on their bodies, but they will not be too polluted.

For example, the bishop in front of him has black flowers on his face, not inside his body.

"It looks a little wicked."

Chen Ji nodded.

Standing beside the Dark Bishop was none other than Lin Zhiyang.

Black flowers also appeared on his face.

Unlike the Dark Bishop, the black flower grew on Lin Zhiyang's body, extending from his neck all the way to his face, and then a pitch-black bud emerged from his forehead.

"Buds?"

Chen Ji was thoughtful.

Lin Zhiyang and the dark bishop were side by side, and behind the two of them was a middle-aged woman who was very tall and strong, judging from Cao Qing's eyes, it should be Wu Ruonan.

In the other wooden houses, other important people who have come out of the Dark Doomsday Society, as well as powerful people from all over the world who have been invited.

The event has finally begun.
