After getting rid of the remaining alien species, Xu Huo turned around and cut open the amputated limb. Inside was a silver bracelet with carved patterns.
No one would be so bored as to wear ornaments for alien species, and he had just seen the photo of this bracelet in the room where he found the notebook related to alien species records.
So this alien species is not transformed from an animal, but from a person in Area 010.
However, his appearance was very different from that of a human being, and was completely different from the alien species he saw on the train during the initial trial.
Alien species carry toxins, and the consequence of oral poisoning is to directly degenerate into alien species. This situation is worse than direct death. Area 010 is short of food and drink. I am afraid that people who are hungry and crazy will think of alien species.
To avoid facing more alien species, Xu Huo quickly left here. While crossing the city from the rooftop, he used his mental power to scan most of the place. Except for some alien species that had not yet starved to death, there was no other living thing.
.
With no results, he could only continue searching in other places. Unexpectedly, he never found another place with human traces until dark. This piece of yellow sand seemed to have no ocean bordering the land, no matter where he went.
The same scenery.
After dark, the desert temperature began to drop, which was much more comfortable than during the day. Xu Huo let Fan Yunhong out for some air.
Seeing that it was already dark and they were still in the desert, Fan Yunhong sat silently munching dry food. During this period, he stared at Xu Huo's feet several times, and finally couldn't help but said: "There are poisonous insects in the desert, it's best to
Wear boots."
Xu Huo wore slippers on his feet. He didn't say anything when he heard this. He didn't mention the black thorn disease again until he finished eating and rested.
Fan Yunhong became a little more energetic when talking about what he knew.
"Black thorn disease didn't exist from the beginning. It didn't exist in the years when the incident in Area 010 happened. Then, for some reason, many people suddenly got it."
"Because the disease spreads from the hands and feet and cannot be hidden, everyone initially thought it might be caused by exposure to the sun or drought. Until the spots grew longer and more numerous, some people felt unwell, and medical researchers determined this after careful study.
It is a genetic disease that is only spread among people in District 010, but there is no treatment."
"The people in District 010 are already living a miserable life. As long as it doesn't affect their actions for a while, not many people care, and I don't care much either..."
He took off his gloves, revealing the scarred back of his hand, flipped it up and down to show it, and said, "Look at this, it's just like a spot. It's not painful or itchy, and it doesn't affect your life."
"Besides, in this kind of environment, it doesn't matter if you lose a few years of your life."
"After a few years, it became increasingly difficult to conceive a child. It was difficult to give birth to a child, or the child died soon after birth. Only then did some people realize that this disease also affects fertility."
Fan Yunhong didn't feel much about this, but just sighed, "I don't know how the treatment is now."
After speaking, he emphasized again, "This disease is really not contagious."
"I know." Xu Huo nodded and took out the RV, "Get some rest and set off early tomorrow morning."
At dawn the next day, Xu Huo put away the car that was half buried in the yellow sand and took Fan Yunhong back on the road.
This time, he did not prioritize places where he thought there were people more likely to be there like yesterday. Instead, he selected several cities in different directions, including a safe zone, and then used "Destiny's Choice" to evaluate them.
"Decision of Destiny" was upgraded from the "Accident Trigger Body". It was originally used to predict risks, but using it in reverse can also help him choose the right direction.
After the feature was turned on, he looked at the corresponding positions of several locations and a risk percentage appeared in his field of vision. It was unclear how far this judgment standard was, but the first three locations turned out to be 5%, 3%, and 6%.
With such a low risk rate, basically if he encounters a poisonous scorpion or insect on the road, the risk of him actually falling and stubbing his toe may be higher than this risk.
However, this was without knowing the distance, so Xu Huo finally chose the 2% direction. After walking forward for a while, he used "Decision of Destiny" again. The probability increased to 3%, and then he did the same for other directions.
After comparison, I didn't expect that the risk probability of one of them increased to 10%.
This location on the map used to be a developed city, the largest city in the area close to the CK12 safety zone - Yutiao City.
Xu Huo changed direction and rushed straight to Yuniao City.
Ten minutes later, he appeared outside Yutiao City.
Visual inspection shows that at least half of the area has been buried by yellow sand. From the outside, we can see that anti-sand guardrails have been built many times around the city, but the ground inside the city is still covered by sand, which is thick in some places and thin in others. Overall,
Look, the city below the fifth floor is almost completely covered with sand.
In addition, the wind and sand here are strong, and the sky above the city is gray. The sand never seems to settle, so the visibility is not high.
But precisely because of this, the temperature in Tamatori City is lower than outside.
It is difficult to walk on the sand, and from time to time, alien species or poisonous insects may appear suddenly or move within the building.
The city has been abandoned for a long time, and there is sand and dust everywhere. However, judging from the traces of rummaging, it has not been that long since the last time there were people here, and someone also deliberately wrote the warning "Don't eat exotic meat" in a prominent position.
.
The situation in Tamatori City is slightly better than the two cities we saw before. There were not that many people left in the city after the disaster struck, and there were not many traces of cannibalism left behind.
Xu Huo came to a warning sign and dug out the lower half covered by sand. Not only did it say that eating alien species would degenerate into alien species in a short period of time, it also marked a place where food could be obtained.
Someone left food for the victims.
Xu Huo searched based on the location and found that the place had been buried in sand, but fortunately it was not deep. After using the robot to open a path, he separated the surrounding sand and found some military ration packaging bags and empty water bottles, as well as
Writing on the wall.
"Don't trust those who give you food, they are there to eat you!"
After changing places, Xu Huo found two more food storage locations. Without exception, they were buried. The next time he saw the warning, there was no food reminder under it.
Combined with the previous situation, if the person who dropped the food is still alive, he or she has entered a difficult period of lack of food, or someone has found the person who dropped the food based on the location. It is not difficult to imagine what happened after that.
In short, someone is willing to put food in to save other survivors, which means that their food stocks are very large. Such places are usually large supermarkets and food processing plants, or simply granaries, and the packaging bags I saw earlier are quite messy.
, so large supermarkets are more likely.
Xu Huo raised his head from the city map and headed to the right. ()
