Chapter 217 Chapter 219 Searching for the Ice Crystal Tree

The residents who went out to investigate in the town were attacked by monsters and fled back to the town. They were able to get rid of the monsters because they were familiar with the terrain in the mountains. In addition, the mountain road was narrow and could only accommodate one car. The monsters were too huge to run away.

The injured residents ran back to the town in panic and brought back this shocking news. The town government also found out that more than a dozen people were missing in the town. Everyone fell into panic, but they forgot that monsters have a keen sense of smell. The blood spilled by the injured residents along the way attracted all the monsters nearby.

When they thought of this problem, a man-eating monster appeared on the only mountain road leading to the outside world.

The residents of the small town who were attacked from all sides had no idea what kind of despair they experienced. When the military search and rescue team arrived, all that was left were scattered bones all over the ground and dark brown bloodstains that had seeped into the soil.

An officer later found a bloody diary in the town hall office that recorded the fall of the town.

When they discovered the monster chasing them, the residents of the town hastily fought back, suffering heavy casualties in the early stages. Later, with everyone's concerted efforts, they finally blocked the only entrance to the town, but found that the number of residents disappearing in the town every day had increased several times more than before.

The townspeople were guarding the checkpoint at the entrance and dealing with attacks from a large number of monsters, while at the same time searching for the cunning monster who was good at hiding his tracks inside the town.

Without killing the monster, there would be no chance to get the treasure. The small town residents who have always lived in a safe environment are no match for the monster. No matter how hard they tried, they failed to lure out the cunning monster. The monster hiding in the dark shadows hunts its prey like a hunter.

The number of residents in the town was decreasing day by day, and the living people were shrouded in the shadow of death that might come at any time. Finally one day, someone broke down mentally and desperately chiseled open the checkpoint that had been built with great difficulty and at the cost of countless lives.

Dozens of monsters swarmed in, and the town, with half of its residents still alive, was massacred.

The town's geographical location is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is located not far from the Chongxi Railway that connects multiple provinces and cities, and is located between Xitang and Bianqiao. After the military search and rescue team reported the situation here, the Southwest Military Region decided to establish an official supply point here to provide a safe resting place for the military or civilian groups passing by for different purposes, and to provide transactions or necessary supply services.

This official supply point has been reported to the Central Military Department and is under the management of the Southwest Military Region. There are many such supply points across the country, and the Central Military Department requires local military regions to set up them. The Central Military Department will send people to inspect them.

The official supply points mainly serve the unknown area exploration teams sent by the military, the safe route development teams, and the official teams sent to perform various tasks. Only they have the detailed location and information of the official supply points.

Of course, if a civilian team transferring for different purposes happens to come across an official supply point, they are lucky, and the official supply point will not turn them away.

The original map issued by the Central Military Headquarters that Rong Xianxian copied from Yu Feng was compiled and integrated by the military after countless efforts and the dispatch of many surveying and mapping engineering teams. The map was transmitted back to the Central Military Headquarters using state secrets.

There are many official supply points, mysterious areas, dangerous areas, and special areas on the original map. Of course, because the original map was issued relatively early, the information on the supply points is not comprehensive. In addition, affected by the revival of spiritual energy in the end times, the terrain of each region and the distance between two places have changed. Military regions in various places are also actively improving local maps and reporting to the central government. At the beginning, everyone thought that the central government issued the original map to stimulate discussion. Such an imperfect map is of no use. As maps in various places are constantly improved, the original map will definitely be eliminated, so no one paid attention to it. Until later, the Central Military Department sent people to retrieve and destroy all the original maps issued. The original map had become a legend one year after the end of the world.

Rong Xianxian, who had always been at the bottom of the food chain in her previous life, had no idea what was so special about the original map. However, the fact that the original map was considered a taboo by the Central Military Department and was recycled and destroyed at all costs did not prevent her from keenly feeling that the original map was a rare commodity.

She was holding a map at the moment, looking at a red dot on the map. Anping Town was a supply point under the Southwest Military Region. This was originally the place she had chosen to stay tonight. However, looking at the ice crystal fruit in her hand, Rong Xianxian called out to Cui Lie and others who were checking the vehicles, "Stop, everyone come over here, we have something to talk about."

"What's wrong, Sister Rong?" Jiang Jie had just been patrolling the area and was running in front.

"Don't rush to set off. I need to find something nearby." Rong Xianxian said directly. There was no need to beat around the bush or ask for everyone's opinions because this was her decision.

This team was formed by her, and everyone in the team has received her favor. Wang Lin has been on her side from the beginning, and she has not treated Wang Lin unfairly. From saving Jiang Jie at the beginning, to trusting Cui Lie, to eliminating Ren Tian, Ren Cheng and others, when they set out to the north, with the absolute support of Cui Lie and others, Rong Xianxian established her leadership position, and their team was officially formed.

Whether it is Cui Lie, Jiang Jie, and Wang Lin's unconditional support for Rong Xianxian, or Rong Xianxian's provision of treatment and talismans for all team members, these safety guarantees make Rong Xianxian's position in the team unshakable, and her decision is the team's decision.

As soon as Rong Xianxian finished speaking, Jiang Jie immediately responded, "What are you looking for, Sister Rong? Did you lose something?"

Cui Lie's gaze turned immediately.

"Just now, a bird picked up a bunch of these fruits. This fruit is called ice crystal fruit. I want to find a tree that grows this fruit, the ice crystal tree." Rong Xianxian said, holding the ice crystal fruit in her hand to show everyone.

"This fruit is so...beautiful?" Wang Qirui wanted to say that the fruit was really sweet, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, as if he was greedy for the fruit. Well, he really was greedy for it.

"Aoao flew out just now when we parked the car. We have been here for only more than twenty minutes. It took more than twenty minutes for Aoao to go back and forth. So the place where it found the fruit must be not far from here. Should we look for it together or separately?" Cui Lie said.

"We don't need too many people. Just come with me to look for it! Everyone else can rest here." Rong Xianxian said without hesitation.
