Chapter 618 Chapter 620 The Out-of-Control Blood Tree
Flying in the air with the invisibility barrier activated consumes both mental strength and spiritual energy. It is not a pleasant feeling to fly in the air for a long time. The good thing is that the probability of being attacked by flying monsters is greatly reduced.
On the way, Rong Xianxian used her spiritual marrow to replenish her spiritual energy. At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, she felt mentally exhausted. She looked at the map and found that this place was not far from the white fir tree safety zone.
After passing the area under the jurisdiction of the White Fir Tree Safe Zone, you will reach the territory of Guxi State.
The area where the dead forest is out of control is in the northernmost part of Guxizhou, which is still some distance away from here.
She planned to go to the White Fir Tree Safe Zone to inquire about some situations and see what the current situation in Guxi Province was!
Rong Xianxian landed in a forest, took out a mirror and makeup to disguise her face, then chose an ordinary SUV in the foggy space and drove out.
On the way to the White Fir Tree Safe Zone, Rong Xianxian casually hunted two level 2 monsters and came to the gate of the safe zone to go through the entry procedures.
From a distance, one could see a long queue of people waiting to go through the procedures for entering the city. Rong Xianxian parked her car aside and joined the queue.
However, the staff were too inefficient and the team moved very slowly. She was mentally exhausted after using the barrier beads for a long time, so she wanted to show up and sneak into the safe zone to inquire about the news. But now, looking at the long line, Rong Xianxian regretted it a little. It was a waste of time to queue here. It would be more efficient to go into the city in stealth to inquire about the news. Rong Xianxian hesitated whether to leave the team, find a deserted place to hide her figure, and go directly into the city.
While she was hesitating, a big sister in front of her turned around. This big sister had dark skin and a sturdy build. She carried a big knife behind her and looked very tough.
The elder sister looked Rong Xianxian up and down, and suddenly laughed, "Sister, you also escaped from Guxizhou, right?"
Rong Xianxian's mind turned, and her face was full of surprise, "Run, why run, did something happen in Guxizhou?"
"You are not from Guxizhou, so how come you are here?" The elder sister looked curious. The White Shirt Tree Safe Zone is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains and dense forests, poisonous insects and miasma, which is not conducive to hunting monsters. The living environment is relatively harsh. Normally, the survivors will only try to escape and it is impossible for them to move here.
"My aunt and her family live in Guxizhou. I plan to go find my aunt, stay here for a few days, exchange supplies, and then continue my journey." Rong Xianxian said.
"If you want to go over there to look for someone, then you don't have to go. Now the survivors over there are moving here. We are the last batch. You can just look for them here. If you can't find them, then they might have died!" As the eldest sister spoke, her mood became depressed.
"Killed? Did something happen over there?" There was no mention of anyone being killed in the recruitment order.
"There is a dead forest in the northernmost part of our Guxizhou. The dead forest is full of blood mist swamps that can eat people. No one can come back alive once they enter there. No one has dared to go to that place for a long time. However, some time ago, about a month ago, a mercenary group from the capital came to our Guxizhou safety zone. There was also a scientific research expedition team in the mercenary group. They built a laboratory in the safety zone. It is said that this laboratory was established to study the dead blood tree. Then they began to issue tasks and purchase the dead blood tree branches at high prices. As long as you are willing to accept the task, they will provide protective clothing and weapons, and will give a large sum of money after getting the dead blood branches. Many people took risks for this. Some went and never came back, but many people also brought back the dead blood branches and got the money." The elder sister sighed when she said this.
"What happened next?" Rong Xianxian couldn't help but ask.
"Later, just a few days ago, the dead blood trees in the dead forest suddenly got out of control and expanded wildly. Two small settlements were covered by the dead blood trees. The troops stationed in the Guxizhou safety zone were dispatched to urgently evacuate the survivors in the safety zone and other settlements. Alas, I wonder if the expansion of the dead forest has stopped." The eldest sister looked towards the direction of Guxizhou worriedly.
"Why did the dead blood tree go out of control?" Rong Xianxian asked herself. She didn't expect to get an answer.
"Who knows? However, everyone speculates that the flesh and blood of those who went to cut branches and never came back fed the dead blood trees, and then the trees mutated, or evolved, which led to this happening." The eldest sister looked around and whispered like a thief.
"If this is true, then those people who came from the capital to issue the mission are inevitably involved in this matter. How are they now?" Rong Xianxian asked in the same low voice.
"I don't know!" the elder sister answered her straightforwardly.
"Whether it's about holding someone accountable or solving the problem, it has nothing to do with ordinary people like us. We can only go with the flow and live one day at a time. Sister, I see you're alone, do you want to join our team? We'll help you find someone together, how about it?" The elder sister had already seen the prey tied to the roof of Rong Xianxian's car. She knew that Rong Xianxian was powerful and wanted to win her over.
"Thank you, thank you, but I want to find it myself first, so I won't trouble you. I'll give this to you!" Rong Xianxian smiled and handed two bottles of hemostatic and analgesic spray medicine to the older sister.
The eldest sister's eyes widened when she saw the medicine bottle. "Sister, you also have this medicine. You came from the capital, right? A while ago, a mercenary group from the capital brought this medicine with them. It is very effective in treating external injuries. I heard that it is very expensive!"
Facing her elder sister's burning gaze, Rong Xianxian coughed lightly and said, "This is not too expensive in the capital. It will be yours soon."
Rong Xianxian went through the temporary entry and exit procedures and entered the city.
After entering the city, Rong Xianxian did not look for a place to stay. After parking the car, she found a tavern that was doing a lot of business and walked in.
It was almost time for dinner and the tavern was bustling with people.
"Madam, business is booming recently. Are you hiring employees? I'll recommend two to you!" A tall and sturdy man said to the lady boss who was checking the accounts with sleepy eyes.
"Pay the money for the drinks first, then come and talk to me!" said the proprietress without even raising her head.
"Well, tomorrow it's our team's turn to go out of town hunting, and you'll definitely have to pay for the wine." The burly man said with a chuckle.
"What do you think is the situation in Guxizhou now? We have not been allowed to go there for more than a month, and our brothers have lost their source of income." The strong man complained.
Due to the out-of-control of the dead blood tree, survivors are no longer allowed to enter the territory of Guxi State, which has cut off the income of the caravans that originally traveled to Guxi State.
