Chapter 437 Goal (please vote for the big chapter)
An off-road vehicle was coming from the opposite direction.
He Ao slowly slowed down the speed of the car.
At this time, the other party also noticed He Ao and slowed down the car at the same time.
He Ao picked up the binoculars and took a look. The opposite side was too far away to see clearly what the car looked like, but he vaguely felt that the car opposite looked familiar.
At this moment, he suddenly realized something. He stepped on the brake, but did not step on it. Then he found a bottle of pure water from the storage box and pressed it on the brake.
Then he suddenly turned sideways and got into the back seat through the gap between the driver and passenger. He pulled down Aini, who was sleeping on the back seat cushion, and leaned behind the passenger seat cushion.
"Ah, Dad, what's wrong?"
Aini woke up from her sleep.
boom--
However, before she could get He Ao's reply, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.
The thick windshield was instantly pierced, the bullet penetrated the driver's headrest, and the pure white artificial fiber filling exploded throughout the vehicle.
If Ho Ao had just been sitting in the driver's seat, it would be his head that would be shot out now.
Aini was startled by this horrific scene. She was about to speak out, but He Ao covered her mouth.
"Shh."
He Ao whispered in his ear.
Aini nodded slightly, and He Ao released his hand covering her.
The brakes pressed by the pure water slowly rebounded, and the speed of the entire off-road vehicle also slowly slowed down, stopping little by little.
"Well···"
Aini's eyes widened and she pointed to the car door.
She was asking if she should open the door and escape.
She was still a little confused when she first opened her eyes, but the burst of gunfire just now made her wake up instantly.
He Ao reached out and pushed open the rear door.
The closed car door opened little by little, but nothing happened.
Aini stood up and wanted to crawl out, but was gently stopped by He Ao.
He Ao shook his head at her, then unzipped the duffel bag containing Heiying's body and pulled Heiying's body out.
Almost a day has passed, and Heiying's skin is still a little rosy, and there is no peculiar smell on his body. He looks just like he died not long ago.
Aini watched blankly as He Aola took out the black shadow's body, and then waited for a while.
When the off-road vehicle came to a complete stop, he instantly held up the black shadow's body and pushed the black shadow out.
boom--
The burst of gunfire sounded almost instantly.
The thick bullet hit the black shadow's head, flying back with the black shadow's whole body, and fell into the rain under the night.
Aini's mouth grew wide when she saw this scene.
But the movements of He Ao's hands did not stop.
He grabbed Aini and immediately lay down, squeezing her body into the small space in the back row.
The next second, the headrest of the passenger seat behind him exploded and turned into exploding synthetic fibers.
While these synthetic fibers were flying in the car, He Ao pulled Aini and asked her to squat down and hide her body behind the open car door.
"quick!"
He Ao pointed to the back of the car and motioned for Ai Ni to hide away.
Aini glanced at the muddy water on the ground, swallowed, knelt down, and quickly crawled over.
Immediately afterwards, He Ao also followed his daughter and rolled behind the car.
Then he made a silent gesture to his daughter, activated his super memory, and jumped into the bushes beside the road.
He was dressed in pitch black, hidden in the night, like a shadow in the night.
Aini watched her father leave and glanced at the dark barren mountains around her with trembling eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.
She was not so scared when facing the ghost mushroom.
However, she still hugged herself, obeyed her father's instructions, and carefully huddled behind the car without pulling her father to stop him from leaving.
The rain curtain wetted her hair.

"How about it?"
As the off-road vehicle in front slowly stopped, the young driver in a fur coat glanced at the young man behind him who was standing half-way out of the sunroof.
"One for the main driver, one for the co-pilot, and one in the back seat."
The young man's voice came from the roof of the car, "Are you sure you remember correctly?"
"I was right in front of them at the time, you have to trust my eyesight."
The driver laughed, "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that they would start a fight among themselves and one or two of them would die. Why, you didn't kill them?"
"I am not sure."
The young man said with half an order, "Drive the car closer. It's too far here and I can't see clearly."
"cut"
The driver curled his lips in a low voice and slowly accelerated the speed of the car.
The young man leaned his head on the scope and pressed his finger on the trigger.
As the two cars got closer, the picture he saw became clearer and clearer.
The empty main driver is completely revealed.
"Turn around!"
he shouted immediately.
But the next second, he lost his voice forever.
The bullet passed between his eyebrows and exited from the back of his head.
"What's wrong?"
The young driver turned the steering wheel fiercely and wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
"fine."
A slightly hoarse voice sounded in the driver's ears, and then, the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against his temple.
The driver's eyes trembled and squinted to the side, and he saw a thin middle-aged man standing outside the driver's door.
"get off."
He Ao glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't move. Before you step on the accelerator, the bullet will probably go through your brain first. You'd better give up this idea."
The young driver trembled and slowly raised his hand.
He Ao reached into the car with his other hand and opened the door. Then he took two steps back and signaled the driver to get out.
The driver swallowed and slowly got out of the car.
He Ao took out the rope he had just rubbed with fresh tree bark, asked him to turn around, tied him up, and threw him into the passenger seat.
Then he pulled out the sniper's body.
His judgment was correct. This sniper was the sniper of the Wilderness Wanderer family that attacked the convoy before, and this car also belonged to the Wilderness Wanderer family.
He Ao sat on the driver's seat and started the vehicle. He glanced at the young driver who was tied up next to him, "Which family are you from?"
"I can't say."
The driver glanced at He Ao and said quickly.
He Ao didn't waste any time, he raised his pistol and shot the driver.
The hot bullet streaked across the driver's cheek, passed through the open window and disappeared into the night.
A thin stream of sweat slid down the driver's forehead.
He glanced at He Ao tremblingly and whispered, "The Merck family."
"Um?"
He Ao did not lower his hand holding the gun.
"The Mercks!"
The young driver shrank his head and said loudly.
This loud voice broke through all his psychological defenses.
He was panting heavily and sweating all over his body, as if he had been fished out of water.
He Ao glanced at him, and then continued to ask, "Why did you two come here?"
"We're here to observe those man-eating mushrooms."
The young man took a breath, and he no longer concealed anything, and spoke clearly.
"Human-eating mushroom?"
He Ao raised his eyebrows, but his expression didn't change much, and he asked calmly.
"Didn't you come across those mushrooms when you walked over there? We thought you were eaten by man-eating mushrooms at first." The young man was stunned and looked at He Ao, "Did you go around here? You found it.
Safe roads?”
"You're asking me?"
He Ao glanced at him and asked calmly.
"No no,"
The young man shrank his head in fear, and then began to explain the question He Ao had just asked,
"The man-eating mushroom is something that only recently appeared in the wilderness. At first, we found it in a family's residence, and then it spread quickly, and three or four families were devoured in a short period of time.
"Just a week ago, it swallowed up the largest Wilderness Rangers camp around here - that Wilderness Rangers camp was just ahead, and we couldn't find a way to stop it.
"The high priest estimates that soon, everyone in the wilderness will be swallowed up by it. This terrifying man-eating mushroom will grow everywhere, so the clan leader plans to grab more things and then migrate to the south."
When He Ao heard these words, he paused for a moment, and then asked casually, "Don't any of you know where these man-eating mushrooms come from?"
"This kind of mushroom has never been found in this wilderness," the young man seemed to remember something and said tremblingly, "It's too scary. The high priest said that there were rumors of similar mushrooms in the south. Maybe there is something to stop this mushroom in the south.
How to grow mushrooms.”
There is indeed a way to stop ghost mushrooms in the south.
Although ghost mushrooms have a lot of juice, they are extremely afraid of fire.
If you continue to scorch them with a strong fire, they will be burned into ashes in about an hour or two. And these burned ashes are extremely flammable and can eventually burn the entire ghost mushroom to ashes.
ash.
This method comes from Ronald's father.
But no one, including Ronald's father, had ever seen this method used.
This method was also collected by Ronald's father accidentally when he was collecting information.
Even around Chenxi City, there is very little information about ghost mushrooms.
Although there are terrifying legends of ghost mushrooms circulating among wilderness wanderers, not many people have actually encountered ghost mushrooms, and the family or camp of wilderness wanderers that were destroyed because of this almost never happened in Ronald's memory.
He Ao suddenly realized a mistake.
An error of reality and perception.
The information He Ao had learned was all about the horror of ghost mushrooms, but around Chenxi City, there had never been any large-scale disasters caused by ghost mushrooms.
If ghost mushrooms are like what Ao just speculated, the greater the number, the greater the temptation they possess, then how did the wilderness wanderer boy in Chenxi City escape from the ghost mushroom fields all over the mountains and plains?
And since there are such a large number of ghost mushrooms in the wilderness around Chenxi City, why don't these ghost mushrooms expand?
Judging from the boy's description at the beginning, the ghost mushroom field was just to trap those 'prey' who accidentally walked into the ghost mushroom field.
However, the rumor mentioned that the ghost mushroom would control the host to go to the host's gathering place did not happen.
Most of He Ao's knowledge about ghost mushrooms comes from Ronald's memory and the intelligence data collected by Ronald's father in his memory.
Is there something wrong with Ronald's father's information?
No, it shouldn't be. The ghost mushrooms near Rimen City clearly show the same characteristics as those in the data.
Then the problem is the ghost mushrooms in the ghost mushroom field near Chenxi City. The offensive nature of those ghost mushrooms has been suppressed to some extent.
He Ao thought about the method of defeating the ghost mushroom mentioned in his memory.
Does this mean that people near Chenxi City once fought against ghost mushrooms a long time ago?
Perhaps this 'confrontation' is older than the age of Chenxi City. It was in the distant cataclysmic era when there were no written records, so no clear information has been handed down.
After that confrontation, the offensive nature of the ghost mushrooms near Chenxi City was 'suppressed'.
But if the aggressiveness of ghost mushrooms can be 'controlled', then what is controlling it?
He Ao felt that as he followed this line, there were more and more mysteries in his mind.
This proves that his current clues are not enough to support him in obtaining an accurate result.
He shook his head and suppressed these thoughts for the time being.
Judging from the current status of the ghost mushrooms near Rimen City, these ghost mushrooms are full of aggression. If the information received by Ronal's father is accurate, then he may try to deal with those ghost mushrooms.
It is a pity that because ghost mushrooms have not caused trouble for many years, even around Chenxi City, fewer and fewer people know about ghost mushrooms.
He Ao actually didn't have another reliable source to verify the authenticity of the method of fighting ghost mushrooms.
Because of the loss of this information, when the wilderness wanderers in Limen City actually encountered ghost mushrooms, they didn't even know the name of the ghost mushroom.
The FBI may have information on ghost mushrooms, but people in the city will never proactively inform wilderness wanderers of information unless a disaster has endangered the city.
However, before He Ao returns to the city, he probably won't be able to ask the FBI for help.
He Ao's thoughts returned to dealing with ghost mushrooms.
There are no other sources confirming the method of dealing with ghost mushrooms, only practice will tell.
But if you want to burn ghost mushrooms, you need to face the terrifying temptation of ghost mushrooms.
For ordinary people, this is a mission that requires death. Even if they die, they may not be able to achieve the results. Maybe they were controlled by the ghost mushroom before it was burned.
Thoughts flashed through He Ao's mind, but the expression on his face did not change. He asked casually, "Do you have a safe path around the ghost mushrooms?"
These wilderness wanderers, like He Ao, were in front of the ghost mushrooms at the beginning, but now they appear behind the ghost mushrooms, proving that they have a way to bypass the ghost mushrooms.
After all, the ghost mushroom blocks one of the few safe roads known so far, and you may encounter even crazier beasts on both sides of the road.
"No," the young man shook his head,
"We came along the edge of the influence of these man-eating mushrooms. The high priest said that Anke and I - the sniper you just killed, the two of us have stronger resistance and are not so easily tempted.
"So he asked us to go around and observe the scope of the man-eating mushroom. The two of us made a small circle and were almost killed by the alien beast before we got here."
"In other words, there are roads, but they are not safe."
He Ao concluded.
"Yes!"
The young man nodded.
Then He Ao didn't ask this question further. At this moment, the vehicle had already arrived next to his original off-road vehicle, and Aini was still squatting behind the vehicle.
He Ao unlocked the car door and asked Aini to come up. Then he looked at the young man and asked softly, "Do you know where the Andavi family is?"
The Andavi family is the family of wilderness wanderers who mentioned the legend of the 'Fountain of Youth' in the travel notes found by Ho.
That travel blogger not only went to the city, but also to the wilderness.
And in the wilderness, I heard secrets that few people have heard.
This is why Ho O came to the wilderness.
"The Andavi family?"
The young man was stunned and looked at He Ao with some surprise.
