Upon hearing the word "big boss", Gu Ran instantly stopped worrying about the fused creature in front of him.
Jiang Wenxi took people to another place, and this time they landed on a tree.
Because of the revival, many trees have grown particularly large, which is convenient for them. Not only can they see far away, but the dense leaves also block the view, ensuring the safety of the two.
"Host, please be quiet. There is a mutant bird in the tree next door."
"System, you're too late."
When Jiang Wenxi saw Gu Ran take out the tranquilizer gun he carried with him, she knew something was wrong. She followed his gaze and saw a huge bird's nest with two birds in it.
Jiang Wenxi lowered her voice and said, "Xiaoran, bear with it. Come back to catch the bird after you finish your business."
Or was it too late? Jiang Wenxi watched helplessly as the two birds' heads drooped, and Gu Ran had already found a vine to swing over.
He swiftly put the bird and eggs into the backpack behind him and swung back again.
"Boss, here you go."
Jiang Wenxi took it helplessly and threw it into the space. Gu Ran began to search around again.
There is no growth inhibitor sprayed here, so the trees grow wildly, the branches are twisted, the roots are very close to each other, and some are even entangled.
The dense leaves were too lush for sunlight to penetrate, creating an oppressive silence, but it made it easy for them to move through the woods.
"Host, this is the closest place to the base. If we get any closer, we'll find it."
There are many fused mutant beasts ahead, and even the surrounding plants are abnormally thick.
Each person and each system observed the situation at the base. Gu Ran strolled around, and all the birds he saw were in trouble.
Jiang Wenxi was more concerned about the situation inside. The scene was too weird. The trees in the base were covered with dead branches and the houses were dilapidated.
The streets were overgrown with weeds and looked desolate. The entire base was filled with an eerie silence. Not only were there no humans, but there were no fused creatures to be seen, as if all life had been drained away.
"Did the system detect any life?"
"Host, there are no living organisms in the base."
"Impossible. Check if there's an underground warehouse or shelter."
"Host, the base is so clean that there are no corpses, unless it is covered with a special solution."
The system also noticed something was wrong. Normally, if a base was attacked, there would be countless casualties. Even if there were rescue efforts, there would definitely be no one to collect the bodies of the dead.
Whether it is devoured by a fusion monster or used as food by zombies or mutant creatures, there will always be some corpse residue.
"Host, this place is too weird, evacuate first."
Jiang Wenxi looked at the fusion monsters moving around on the periphery. They didn't dare to enter the base, as there must be something fishy going on inside.
Gu Ran came back dragging a bag of birds, and Jiang Wenxi put them into the space.
"Xiaoran, do you dare to go in with me to explore?"
"dare."
"System, teleport both of us to the base. The teleportation system is always active."
When the two landed in the base, they realized that everything was abnormally quiet. Not even the sound of an insect could be heard.
The weeds are more than one meter high, and that's just on the outside. Inside, they are two or three meters or even higher, and there are some dead vines entangled in them.
The two men moved slowly, one in front and one behind. The ground was so clean that only old blood stains could be seen without careful observation.
"Boss, this isn't normal."
"Um."
The two came to a relatively intact house. After entering and carefully checking, they found that the furniture inside was broken into pieces, and some were entangled with branches. It seemed that the traces were not formed in the past few days.
The two exchanged glances and knocked around, but did not find the underground secret room.
He retreated cautiously and walked on the street, stepping on the broken stone slabs, making a crisp sound, but still did not attract any living creatures.
"System, the detection range is expanded."
Suddenly, a low roar in the forest broke the silence, and Jiang Wenxi grabbed Gu Ran who was about to turn back.
"Calm down, Xiaoran. It might be a trap."
They squatted in the woods for a long time without any movement, but as soon as they entered the base, there was movement.
"What's wrong with the system?"
"Host, a mutated fusion monster in the forest devoured another fusion monster."
A picture appeared in Jiang Wenxi's mind. She saw a bloody scene. A larger fusion monster bit the fusion beast curled up on the ground. Its back was torn and a thick purple-black liquid flowed out.
"Boss, there are some."
Gu Ran pointed to the dilapidated house in front: "Xiao Ran, what do you see?"
"A black shadow flashed by."
"system!"
"Host, no life was detected at all."
Jiang Wenxi gripped her weapon tightly and looked around vigilantly. Xiaoran definitely wouldn't be wrong, but the system didn't detect any living beings, which was very intriguing.
"Go and take a look. Be careful."
Jiang Wenxi came to the dilapidated house that Gu Ran mentioned, but still could not sense any living creatures.
But there were indeed some traces on the ground. Jiang Wenxi squatted down to check, and Gu Ran guarded vigilantly.
"Boss, this place is weird."
Jiang Wenxi stood up and said, "It's really not normal. It's like everyone suddenly disappeared."
This is not a supernatural event. According to the information he has, the base was attacked and some people escaped. The reports also show that there were countless casualties. The enemy was too strong and their military force was insufficient.
It hasn't been long since I received the news and arrived here, but this place has completely turned into an abandoned ruin.
To be able to do all this, there is only one bold guess: the opponent's strength and numbers can eliminate them all in a short time.
"Host, the inspection has reached another base, and scattered humans have been found along the way."
It cannot be confirmed that the scattered people are from this base, they may also be personnel sent from other bases.
