Chapter 105

"The quiet village is filled with snow."

“Under the hazy sky, pigeons are flying~~~”

"The birch tree has those two carved on it."

"Hmm~~~Hmm~~~"

In the gray mist, among the mountains and forests, there is a gray-white road that stretches into the distance.

The dark green jeep moved forward, speeding along the road.

The car was like a small dark green insect on a gray paper tape, moving straight, slowly and firmly forward.

The layers of fog were broken open in front of the car, and then rolled and twisted, creating a gap for passage.

Yu Hong put his hands on the steering wheel and hummed softly.

There is no noise in the entire car except for the rotation of the motor.

The monotonous buzzing sound rang in Yu Hong's ears for more than two hours.

He is the only one.

After listening to the sound of motors too much, he could even hear his own breathing and heartbeat. In such a lonely environment, his body's perception became too sharp.

It's just that such sensitivity makes it even more unbearable.

Driving alone.

Lonely noise.

The lonely road ahead.

So he couldn't help but hum softly one of his favorite songs in his previous life.

In fact, he forgot some of the lyrics and only remembered them roughly, but it didn't matter, as long as he still remembered the tune, and replaced the parts he forgot with "um huh".

The car drove forward quietly, and Yu Hong picked up the map from time to time and flipped it over to take a look.

The enhanced map has completely turned into a three-dimensional map, with three gradient colors of gray, black and white on it, showing different red value concentrations.

Yu Hong can avoid high-concentration areas based on the red value concentration to avoid encountering more monsters or evil shadows.

The car buzzed forward, and Yu Hong hummed the song at least dozens of times. He took out his water bottle and took a sip, pursed his lips, held the steering wheel with one hand, and let it drive straight forward.

The road in front of the car window is now straight, so you can relax a little.

After drinking the water, Yu Hong took out another protein bar and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it slowly to fill his stomach.

Suddenly, in the gray fog on the right, the dense mountain forest gradually turned into steep gray rocks.

The mountain rock extends upward into the mist, I don't know how high it is, like a huge gray wall.

The walls are made of rough layers of gray rocks, covered with something dark and vine-like.

Seen from a distance, these vines look like a large mass of glue stuck to the stone wall. Their surface is shimmering with water, some of them look like peach gum, and some of them look like amber.

Yu Hong drove his car from the side and could see something like this hanging on the mountain wall on the left after driving for hundreds of meters.

‘What the hell?’ The red value detector on his collar had soared to over 60, flashing a red light as a warning.

Without stopping, Yu Hong accelerated slightly and quickly left the mountain wall and once again entered the highway area surrounded by mountains and forests.

It's just that this time it's different from before. The stone wall on the right is gone, but the newly appeared mountain forest is actually covered with large pieces of gum like peach gum.

Some of the dark gelatinous substances hang on the tree trunks, some stick to the gelatin on the ground, pulling out sticky threads, and some cover the entire crown of the tree, as if it is digesting the tree.

Yu Hong looked solemn and continued to move forward.

At this time, the fog gradually faded away, and the visibility was much further than before.

The car whined forward and quickly drove out of the mountain forest and entered a large angle bend.

In the process of turning, there are cliffs on one side and mountains and forests on the other.

You can see the scenery further away from the cliff.

Yu Hong turned the steering wheel and looked toward the cliff in the distance with the corner of his eye.

On the foggy gray land in the distance, a hazy abandoned city stands quietly in a sunken terrain similar to a basin.

The black river runs through the entire city like a streamer.

Towering buildings stand quietly in the middle of the city, with no lights or traces of people.

The buildings include bustling skyscrapers, ordinary hotel buildings, office buildings, landmark buildings, TV stations, etc.

Their unified characteristics are silence, no one, and no lights.

What's even more weird is that most of the buildings in this city are covered with a thin layer of black goo, just like the gelatin that Yu Hong just saw when he passed by.

'What the hell is this thing?'

He felt a little depressed, feeling that he might encounter trouble when he passed here.

He lowered his head and glanced at the black mark on the back of his hand. Ever since he left the safe house, the black mark had frequently reminded him that the pyroxene grass bound to the mark would gradually wither, be eroded by the red value, and disappear after he left one kilometer away. If necessary,

It is necessary to use inner energy to promote birth again.

'Is this a mark binding? It's a bit troublesome, but it can be used as a small guarantee to establish a temporary base at any time.'

Yu Hong thought about it in his mind, withdrew his gaze, turned a corner, and glanced towards the city again.

Suddenly his body tensed up and his mind was shaken.

'What the hell!?'

In the distant city, the huge black gel covering the building suddenly moved just now.

That black, dead-like glue can actually move!?!

Yu Hong watched dumbfoundedly. On the tallest building in the city, the glue covering the upper part of the building raised something like a tentacle, slowly extending towards another building that was not covered.

‘That thing is actually alive!?’

A chill surged up from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body.

As he drove the car, he unconsciously began to speed up, driving all the way away from the city.

After driving for more than half an hour, the strange city was left behind, submerged in the mist, and could no longer be seen.

Yu Hongcai breathed a sigh of relief.

He picked up the map and looked at it.

‘Huanfeng City.’ This was the name of the strange city he passed by just now.

"It's best not to come near this place in the future. There is definitely a big problem inside." Yu Hong murmured in a low voice.

In this extremely boring environment, he couldn't help but choose to use the way he spoke to remind his ears to prevent them from falling into some inexplicable dead silence.

In an extremely monotonous and unchanged sound environment, people may adapt to the situation and even produce inexplicable phantom sounds.

The adaptation state will cause people to regard monotonous environmental sounds as silence.

Phantom sounds are a natural physiological reaction of people in an excessive and uneventful environment.

It's getting dark.

Yu Hong did not continue forward, but quickly found a relatively empty place to park along the road.

After stopping the car, he took out the energy-free atomic lamp and let the light green light illuminate the interior of the car.

Then quickly solve the personal hygiene problem and tie it up with a plastic bag to avoid odor.

Then cover the car windows with black cloth to prevent light from shining through.

Click.

Yu Hong opened the car door and walked out of the car carrying the plastic bag of excrement.

It is surrounded by an open weed field, and you can tell from the patches of grass that this place used to be farmland.

The shortest weeds were knee-high, and the tallest ones were more than one meter tall. They were so thick that they blocked much of the field of vision.

call.

Fine white mist spewed out of Yu Hong's breathing valve. Feeling the increasingly cold temperature, he walked to the roadside, dug a hole and buried the bag.

Then head back to the car.

Click.

Suddenly behind him, there was faint movement in the grass.

Yu Hong paused, turned around and looked back.

The grass behind him was swaying in the wind, and there was nothing there.

He looked around to make sure there was nothing wrong, then turned around and continued walking towards the car.

After getting into the car and covering the atomic lamp, Yu Hong lay quietly on the back seat and listened to the movement outside.

In a confined space, he must change the air every once in a while.

So this must ensure that he is mentally alert at all times.

Not long after.

A faint sound, like singing, floated faintly from outside.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound like sticky substances constantly sticking and separating.

Yu Hong squinted his eyes, raised his head and approached the car window, uncovered the black cloth, and looked out quietly.

In the driveway outside, I saw a two-meter-tall humanoid monster, covered in pitch black and seemingly made of countless sticky gelatinous substances, stepping on the road step by step, passing by the car.

This black humanoid kept dropping lumps of black mucus on its body as it walked.

As they moved forward step by step, Yu Hong was not noticed at all in the human form. He just kept his head forward and gradually disappeared into the gray mist in front of him.

Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Faced with monsters he had no idea about, he didn't want to take action rashly. Who knew what abilities these monsters and shadows had? The danger level was only used to judge their harmfulness, not whether they were powerful or not.

Fortunately, after the humanoid monster passed by, there was no other movement outside. Yu Hong lay on the seat and had a good rest for a while.

The alarm sound of the red value detector reminded him that he had some time to close his eyes and relax.

Nothing happened all night.

Early the next morning, the car started again and moved forward along the highway.

Humming to the song, I drove for more than an hour. Finally, rural buildings with suburban fields gradually began to appear on both sides of the road ahead.

These buildings are all dilapidated, full of dust, and some are obviously damaged.

Between the buildings, fields were filled with black slime, without any weeds, and exuded some kind of stench of rotten flesh.

Yu Hong estimated the battery power. After driving for so long, the car still had at least one-third of the power left. He probably needed to recharge it before going back.

Buzz.

As the car drove through patches of black fields, there were gradually more and more houses on both sides, turning into deserted streets composed of short bungalows and low-rise buildings.

This seems to be within the county limits.

Yu Hong involuntarily slowed down and slowly looked at the situation on both sides.

The streets were filled with battery cars, tricycles, and the occasional car parked haphazardly. Their windows were broken and their bodies were twisted, as if they had been run over by something.

"Help. Help"

Suddenly a small sound came from the right side in front.

The voice was that of a young girl, immature, pitiful, and seemed to be enduring pain.

Yu Hong frowned and turned to look to the right.

At the entrance of the corridor of a gray two-story building, a little girl with long hair and no clothes was squatting.

She folded her arms around her body, squatted on the ground, raised her head and looked in the direction of the car. Her face was pitiful, her skin was fair and stained with mud.

"Help me please!" she begged loudly.
