In the darkness.

The wind stormed up on the flat ground, alarming dozens of strange birds cried and flew to the dark sky.

A beast was running rapidly among the ruins.

The slightly shorter obstacle jumped past and encountered the towering ruins of the building. Although it was in a collapsed and tilted state, it was still on a steep slope of nearly 90 degrees without any avoidance. The sharp claws crushed the protruding pieces of stone, and the terrifying force of the knotted muscles under the gray-black hair burst out all the time. Even on this "clay", it was still walking on flat ground.

If you closer, you will find that there seems to be someone sitting on the back of the terrifying beast.

On the saddle cushion formed by sand and gravel, Zhu Jue sat cross-legged, the San Sun and Moon Tai Knife was placed horizontally on his knees, leaning against the chair cushion, and the whistling airflow towards him was dispelled completely when it reached his body. Therefore, no matter how fast the wind chime ran, he was still sitting very steadily on it.

The settlements are not far from the polluted area. Although there are various obstacles along the way, at the speed of wind chimes, Zhujue saw a dilapidated sign in North 3 on the street at just two or three minutes.

"Wind chime, slow down!"

Bent down and pat the Fengchi's forehead, and the surrounding scenery gradually returned to its original state.

Oh ~

Going closer to the street, the wind chime waving its head, growling in a quiet voice, and three flexible tails behind it fluttered freely, slapped away the nearby gravel.

Recently, Fengling has been following Zhu Jue in a petite shape and has long wanted to find an opportunity to stretch his muscles and bones. Therefore, after leaving the settlement, it replaced the job of a scavenger and returned to its original strong body, carrying Zhu Jue to make rapid progress.

He raised his foot sideways, and the scavenger immediately extended a platform on the left, held Zhu Jue's feet in the air and carried him down.

The wind chime did not change back immediately, but hugged Zhu Jue and rubbed against him. Zhu Jue also allowed it. Anyway, as long as it hides well in this environment, no one can find it, and he will still go back later.

Observing the surrounding environment through camera glasses is a neat street plan that is barely considered a neat street plan for Community No. 37. Community No. 40 is undoubtedly much messy. The map stored in the audio-visual stick is only marked with rough icons. Because there is no Internet, Zhu Jue cannot view his real-time location and can only rely on intuition to find the location of the polluted area.

Fortunately, I was not completely clueless. The air was filled with disgusting stench. The same smell had also been smelled by the community of Zhujue No. 37.

The polluted area is nearby.

"Can the wind chime find the source of the odor?"

When it comes to smell, wind chimes are undoubtedly more sensitive than prayer.

Wow~

He raised his head and smelled the smell. The T-shaped black sinuses swelled. After a while, he whined a little aggrieved. It was obvious that he was disgusted by the smell. He turned his head over and put it on Zhu Jue's shoulder and twisted it twice. After the latter hugged and rubbed it, he retracted and walked forward with his tail swing.

After walking forward for a few minutes, Zhu Jue suddenly saw a small Ferris wheel standing in the middle of the road, about tens of meters high. In the nearby ruins, you can see several completely scrapped mechanical dolls, with their limbs drooping and their faces split into pieces, revealing dusty parts. From its obviously young shape and the lace skirts scattered around it, which were mostly crushed by stones, it is not difficult to see that this place should have been a commercial street with a small playground.

Disperse the perception and approach the polluted area, and beware of infected bodies hiding in the dark. However, what surprised Zhu Jue was that until he walked through most of the streets, he still did not detect any infected bodies or even living bodies.

In fact, since he entered North 3, he has never seen the infected body before.

This is not like a phenomenon that should be found in a polluted area.

Fengling urged Zhu Jue's waist from behind and urged him to walk forward. Then he walked around the latter and ran towards the overpass ahead. As if he had discovered something, Zhu Jue quickly raised his heel.

Climbing the escalator that was no longer available, stepping on the fence on the side of the overpass, the smell became stronger and stronger. Zhu Jue took out a telescope with night vision from the space ring.

"Finally found it!"

The palms that were holding the telescope tightened and he muttered to himself in a low voice.

About a hundred meters away, among the ruins of three tall buildings arranged in a shape, black and purple infectious layers spread out among them, covering the buildings and streets, slowly and strangely wriggling.

It's like a ghost.

It is definitely not good to lean directly up like in Community No. 37. Just now, a battle broke out in Community No. 39 above. Now the Ubobuna organization is definitely on guard. Zhu Jue doesn't want to alert the enemy.

Since the infection area has been confirmed, the location of its core bone tree will naturally become the next target that needs to be observed.

It is logical that the center of the building is surrounded by a Pin-shaped building. The space in the center is undoubtedly the best place to place the bone tree. It is covered on three sides, leaving only one space, and defense is also easy. However, after standing here on the overpass, looking through a telescope for a few minutes, Zhu Jue never saw the existence of the bone tree.

Is it behind the building?

The height of the overpass is less than 10 meters, and it is obvious that the situation behind the building cannot be seen. The Ferris wheel behind him has become the best observation deck at this time.

I spent some time standing at the top of the Ferris wheel and saw the situation in the distant polluted area.

The vision passed through the building, and Zhujue surprised that he still did not find the existence of the bone tree!

As the core of the infection area, the bone tree must be in the central position. The coverage of the contaminated area in front of you may be larger than that of the contaminated area in Community No. 37, but it is limited to this. You should know that the height of the bone tree is at least about 6 meters, and it is impossible to hide in the building. Such an obvious goal should be seen at a glance under normal circumstances.

Dingling ~

The cell phone rings.

"Hello?"

The scavenger took out his cell phone from his pocket, connected it and put it in Zhujue's ear.

"Zhu Jue, we contacted the Rangers, they were in the settlement, with a large number of people... The situation was a bit strange, they were preparing for a large-scale battle."

In the alley full of debris, Suzi and Gu Yinqiao stood behind several plastic boxes, observing the people who were debugging weapons and carrying ammunition on the streets outside.

They were walking around the settlement before and accidentally saw the dense firelight here. After getting close, Gu Yinqiao recognized the signs smeared on their weapons.

"fighting?"

Turning around the telescope, Zhu Jue thought about it, and then said,

"Do they plan to hit the infection area? They shouldn't be that stupid, right?"

"No, not attack, but defense. They are building fortifications, and there are machine guns on the windows of houses on both sides of the street."

Gu Yinqiu grabbed the box with both hands and turned her head to try to see as much as possible on the street.

Dang ~

Perhaps because of his impatientness, Gu Yinqiao subconsciously increased the strength of his hands, which resulted in the already loose plastic box being crooked. The empty bottle inside fell to the ground and made a few crisp sounds when it rolled.

"Who is there!"

The person who was in a state of war was highly nervous, and the sudden noise that sounded was not unexpectedly attracted attention.

"Sorry...what should I do now?"

Turning his head, Gu Yinqiao's face turned a little red because of embarrassment.

"Zhu Jue, we probably have to contact the Rangers in advance."

Suzi waved her hand and signaled her not to retreat. They were not here to cause trouble. Leaving at this time would make the Rangers think that they were ill-behaved.

"If you are guaranteed to be safe, you will be able to handle it yourself. I will hang up some of the situations here first."

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Jue also discovered some special situations.

Since the bone tree has not been found for a long time, Zhu Jue thought about finding an infected body to track it, and he could finally find the location of the bone tree.

The infected body is not difficult to find. The magnification of the telescope is raised and swept around the ruins of the three buildings. Zhu Jue soon discovered their whereabouts.

Yes, they!

In the empty floors of the ruins of the building, nearly 20 infected bodies were roughly counted to describe the terrifying ones standing.

There are long and thin infected bodies with mummies that I have met in the No. 37 community, and black and purple pustules, and dozens of tentacles with their arms... and some monsters that have never even seen Zhu Jue and are difficult to express in words.

They stood on the outer edge of the empty layer, crowded together, hidden in the darkness, and remained motionless as if they had received some command.

Zhu Jue has never seen this situation before. The bone tree is not there. Why are these infected bodies gathering?

At some point.

The infectious body at the front suddenly leaned forward and fell down driven by gravity. Its action was like a starting signal. Other infectious bodies around it also began to move forward, jumping out of the empty layer, and posing in an ugly posture.

It was also at this moment that Zhu Jue suddenly discovered that there were also infected people in the other two buildings "jumping off the building"...

Obviously, the large-scale occurrence of such weird behaviors is not because they think they are too ugly and can't think about it.
