The temperature in the stone forest was high and corpses were being set on fire. It was not a good place to talk, so Gao Peng took Xu Huo and Zhuo Wangsun back to their base.
The prop they used was a dune motorcycle. Xu Huo and Zhuo Wangsun got into Gao Peng's and Cen Lu's cars respectively. The powerful motorcycles ran effortlessly and the sound was deafening.
"Aren't you afraid of attracting alien species with such a loud sound?" Zhuo Wangsun said loudly.
The guest drove Xu Huo and Cen Lu side by side and said with a smile: "It's best if you come. I haven't killed enough brothers today!"
Several other motorcycles roared past them one after another, killing some aliens who were peeping in the distance.
Xu Huo could tell that these people had good marksmanship and rich combat experience, and they were not mainly players.
Exiting the stone forest is a large sand dune area. The motorcycle keeps climbing over the gentle slope. When it climbs back to the flat ground, a straight road appears in front of it, and at the end of the road is a city with many tall buildings!
"There is actually a town here!" Zhuo Wangsun said in surprise.
"Looking at what you said, the cleaning area originally belonged to Clown City. How could there be no urban buildings?" Gao Peng said: "But that place has long been abandoned. It is now the residence of the survivors and alien species."
"Are there any alien species in there?" Xu Huo interrupted.
"Yes, there are quite a few." Gao Peng said: "But don't worry, the alien species usually stay underground. Even outside the stone forest area, the temperature here is not low. Not only people are afraid, but alien species are also afraid, so most
They hide underground all the time and only come out when they are looking for food."
"We have cleared out a stronghold in the center of the city." Cen Lu said: "A master has improved the water and electricity, and basically everything is needed to live there."
"Is there still clean water in the city?" Zhuo Wangsun asked curiously: "Isn't the air here poisonous?"
"How can the air be poisonous? We have been here for half a year and everything is fine." Cen Lu said funnyly: "Don't think you ate too many mushrooms in the jungle to have hallucinations."
"As for the water, it is pumped from groundwater, which is purified before entering the water supply system. It is very safe." She added.
A few people were talking, and the car had entered the city limits.
Similar to the apocalyptic world in movies and TV shows, abandoned buildings and roads have become cracked due to the erosion of high temperatures and strong winds. Relics left by fights can be seen everywhere, broken glass, bent metal, collapsed houses, and traffic.
The remains of tools.
Due to climate reasons, even though it has been abandoned for a long time, there is still no vegetation growing here, and the smell of rust is everywhere - this is a completely dead city.
When walking through the city, Gao Peng and others slowed down, controlled the sound of the car, and tried to walk around the edge of the city without going directly into the central straight road.
"Are there alien species ahead?" Xu Huo glanced forward.
"There is a crack of about ten feet in the city center, and there are many alien species hidden underneath." Gao Peng said, "We are going home now, so there is no need to alarm them."
Xu Huo felt that there were scattered people watching around him. Judging from their movements, they should be companions of Gao Peng and others, but there were no aliens as they mentioned.
After walking around half of the city, Zhuo Wangsun couldn't help but said: "The aliens here are quite quiet."
"The alien species hiding under the cracks in the ground lack combat effectiveness." Cen Lu said: "Most of the time they don't come out to cause trouble, so we just let it go."
Zhuo Wangsun nodded and looked towards Xu Huo.
This statement is far-fetched. Since establishing a base in the city, dealing with this dangerous neighbor is the first priority. How can we keep them because they are not fierce enough?
But they both agreed tacitly and did not continue to ask questions.
The car soon stopped under a commercial building. Several sentries showed up not far away. Gao Peng raised his hand to them, and the metal-reinforced remote control door of the building opened. A group of people walked in.
People rushed over to say hello to them.
The distinguished guest greeted them and said to everyone: "The harvest is good today. Everyone can rest for two days and take turns on duty."
There were more than a dozen warriors on the first floor, and they were very happy to hear this. One of the warriors with a lightning symbol shaved off his head looked at Xu Huo and the two, and said, "Are they players?"
The expressions of some people in the crowd obviously changed. They probably didn't like the players, so they put down their smiles and walked away.
Gao Peng said: "Lao Wu and Zhuo Wangsun, they also came in with the soldiers from Clown City, they are all comrades who have fought together!"
The shaved man said: "Players are not our comrades."
The resistance of these people was so obvious that Zhuo Wangsun subconsciously moved closer to Xu Huo.
"They are not bad people." Gao Peng did not explain much and led Xu Huo and Zhuo Wangsun into the elevator.
The first floor is for sentry and response to the first wave of impact, and the 30th floor located in the middle of the building is the main area for the activities of the stronghold members.
The elevator has electricity, and of course the hotel on the 30th floor also has it. Before the elevator door opens, you can hear deafening music coming from inside. Three or five young people are shaking their heads and bouncing on the sofa, and there is an older man who is assembling mechanical equipment.
"Master Tu." Gao Peng greeted the elders, and Cen Lu went over to turn off the music to introduce them to each other.
Master Tu is the old master they say who is good at changing water and electricity. He is actually a teacher in mechanical engineering. He has strong theoretical knowledge and practical ability. What he is assembling at hand is made from outdated materials he collected from the city.
A simple monitor.
And those young people also have their own specialties, and it can be seen that they have received professional training.
Several people had a lukewarm attitude towards Xu Huo and the two, and without saying a word, they asked Cen Lu to take them to a room to rest.
So Xu Huo and Zhuo Wangsun went to the 29th floor again.
"It seems that they are very unfriendly to players." Zhuo Wangsun stood under the air vent of the refrigerator, "They are probably afraid that we will pollute the clean water source."
"If you were really afraid, you wouldn't have brought us here." Xu Huo said calmly: "Players can leave after completing the task, and they cannot stay as helpers."
Zhuo Wangsun was stunned, "Then why did Gao Peng invite us over so enthusiastically?"
Xu Huo glanced at him and said nothing, but Zhuo Wangsun couldn't help but frown, "They said the air is fine, but why did Jin Dong suddenly degenerate into a different species?"
"There may be other reasons." Xu Huo said casually and entered the bathroom. After washing, he checked his body and found no symptoms of infection.
Although he had been wearing an "oxygen supply", his skin was still in contact with the air, and he did not experience any symptoms such as emotional abnormalities or hallucinations during this period. This means that the air may really be fine, and at least Gao Peng and others are all normal.
Perhaps what influenced the group of people who killed and burned their bodies in the jungle was food and water.
