"If you can get in touch with them. Maybe they can take us to safety," Kyungwon looked at the severed clouds from afar.

"Fighter jets can't carry extra passengers except for the pilot, and fighter jets need a tarmac to land, and they need a special airport to take off, even if they are willing to come to our rescue, they can't stop on this road." Tang Xue said.

"If they have fighter jets, they must have transport planes, but we can't get in touch with them, and we don't know who they are or what they're flying here for." Jing Yuan shook his head: "Let's go back to the car, after all, relying on others still can't compare to ourselves." ”

"Hmm." Tang Xue followed Jing Yuan back to the car.

After asking where the second pass was, Kyungwon asked Tang Xue to go to sleep, and he continued to drive.

He walked along the northwest front, walked on the road, and walked in the wilderness if there was no road, as long as the road conditions were not particularly bad, such as the slope was very high, or there were rocks and pits everywhere, the off-road vehicle could cope with it smoothly.

In this direction, he drove to the strait again, and although he was far away from the sea-crossing bridge, he could still see what the world on the other side was like, a dead gray-black.

Just a strait away, the world completely changed.

After driving along this road for more than ten minutes, the scenery is all the same.

He even saw another creature that resembled a big monster on the other side of the bridge, but not like the one on the bridge, it was very close to the shore, it was far away, and from a distance, it looked like a mountain standing up and moving slowly forward.

The ecological environment over there has become something he can't understand.

Finally came to the second pass, detoured twice the distance, and the time was already close to noon.

This is the end of the strait, and the roads are reconnected from one road to another.

The exit was an ordinary road entrance, but the road was impassable, and a strangely shaped tree blocked the way, and it was covered with thorns, and its roots were rooted in the dirt, and there were many dry bones in the roots, both human and animal.

Jing Yuan didn't get close to the tree, but parked the car far away and asked Tang Xue to use the binoculars to observe the other side of the road.

"Nope." Tang Xue shook her head: "That road can't be walked, the opposite side of the road is all occupied by mold." ”

"Meaning, even if we cut down that tree, we won't be able to get through," Kyungwon took a breath.

"I'm afraid not."

"Is there any other pass?"

"A few more to come."

"Then go ahead and have a look."

Kyungwon stepped on the gas pedal again and drove the off-road vehicle forward.

After the disappearance of the strait, the thorn-like trees appeared more and more frequently, and you can see one every kilometer, as if they were deliberately planted there.

These trees were very similar to the plants he had encountered before, called "Mushroom Trees", and the eggplant knife in his hand was a weapon caused by the immature fruits of the Mushroom Tree.

But he didn't see the so-called "fungus beasts" around these plants that were suspected to be "fungus trees".

After about another 5 kilometers, they never saw a single path that they could pass, but these evenly distributed thorn trees, which were like a barrier to prevent the mold from spreading to this side.

The ecological environment here is much worse than that of the southern suburbs, and even worse than the city center, and only a few hair-like weeds can be found on the bare yellow mud, except for those strange-shaped trees, there are no other trees.

This place seems to be the end of the world, those thorn trees plan the boundary, and if you take one step further, you will fall from the edge of the world into the void just as he used to play MC and dig through the topmost bedrock.

Along the way, they saw another huge monster, but in a long distance, their number was very small, and so far they had only seen three, Tang Xue slept for a while, and then took out the map around this and compared it.

She said that these huge monsters seemed to be distributed according to some kind of pattern.

She used a marker pen to draw a circle in the approximate position of those monsters, a total of three circles, in a character distribution.

"It's like. It is related to the density of the population. Tang Xue said: "The one we saw at the beginning was opposite the cross-sea bridge, on the other side of the bridge is the urban area and the high-speed rail station, and the other two appeared at the location of the city, although they are far away, but they seem to be in the urban area." ”

"Could it be that the 'queen bee' of the hive?" Kyungwon shuddered.

According to the hypothetical "hive theory", these molds are infected according to the distribution of various small groups, like a hive, gathering in a large area, and the huge monster inevitably reminds people of the "queen bee" of the "hive".

"I think the mold should be different in each region, but we can't see it with the naked eye." Tang Xue said: "Those tree-like things look like they are used for territorial planning, just like dogs will pee on their own territory to tell other dogs that it is the same as their territory, and those trees should play a similar role." ”

She continued: "The 'hive theory' should be generally fine, and on this premise, it should be inferred that the world over there should be the world after the evolution of the mold, didn't you say it? The flora has the instinct to devour each other and gather together, and if mold is allowed to naturally erode a city without external interference, they will eventually gather into a huge monster. ”

"But why hasn't it become like that?"

"Probably because of external interference, six years ago, the army dealt with a certain presence in the city center, and it is very likely that this behavior slowed down the process of gathering."

"Does it mean that Zhoushan City is the only paradise?"

That's the result of their discussion, and it's ironic that they want to escape to a safer place, not knowing that the place they are in is probably one of the safest places in the world.

This is the truth of the real despair, the land on which humanity once depended no longer exists, only the sky and the sea, and beyond, the frozen soil on the other side of the sea.

At this moment, the thought of giving up flashed through Kyungwon's mind.

Does the riot in Zhoushan City mean that the only remaining piece of land that can stand on it will also be transformed into what it looks like on the other side of the border?

Where else can they escape? How else can you hide?

He suddenly felt that he was so small, so pitiful and pathetic, so sad that it was as if all of a sudden, he had lost all his hope of living.
