The two of them left the base smoothly.
There are tree stumps standing outside the base, the thinnest of which is as thick as a bucket. Most of them grew wildly after the end of the world, and were later cut down and cleared when the base was built, and used as timber for construction.
Afterwards, in order to prevent these plants from growing lush again and posing a danger, the base would issue cleanup missions every once in a while.
Ordinary people can also do these cleaning tasks and earn a small amount of contribution points.
After walking for a while, Xue Huan sped up and ran in one direction. With her current strength, her speed was no less than that of a car. No matter how fast she ran, Pei Ji could always keep up with her leisurely, as if he was strolling in the garden.
After running for more than twenty minutes, the surrounding vegetation became taller and more lush. The ferns were taller than people, and the large trees that several people could hug were covered with dense vines, like green pythons.
From time to time, a huge reptile would parade through the grass, and the hissing sound it made when rubbing against the ground gave people goose bumps.
Flying insects as big as fists came whizzing by like blimps.
The sun was blocked by dense branches, and in the dark and humid environment, it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were hidden, ready to pounce at any time.
Xue Huan was wrapped in camouflage clothes, with knee-length boots on her feet. Except for a small gap between the mask and sunglasses, no skin was exposed.
He had a shoulder bag slung across his back, which contained some necessary things.
On the right shoulder is a delicate small cannon barrel bought from the mall. Although it can only fire three shots at a time, it is extremely powerful and can have a deterrent effect even when encountering an eighth-level mutant beast.
At her waist was her usual pistol.
The ox horn knife is inserted into the compartment of the boot and can be reached by bending down slightly.
On the middle finger of her right hand, she wore the space ring she bought last night. Most of her belongings were stored in it.
She also held a cane-like weapon in her hand, which she used to explore the way when there was no danger, and could be used directly for combat when there was danger. It was her main weapon, and she named it Fang.
Compared with her fully armed body, Pei Ji walking next to her was almost alone.
They were dressed very casually, as if they were not going hunting but for a spring outing.
However, he is already at the top of the food chain. He looks harmless, but once he shows his fangs, nothing can stop him.
When passing by a big tree with a lot of vines wrapped around it, one of the "vines" suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Xue Huan.
It turned out that it was not a vine, but a mutated anaconda disguised as a vine!
The anaconda bit at an extremely fast speed and arrived in front of Xue Huan in the blink of an eye.
Xue Huan did not retreat but advanced, pushing the fang in her hand into the anaconda's mouth, getting it stuck in its mouth. At the same time, she pressed her finger on a certain part of the fang, and the bottom of the fang instantly became sharp, and when the anaconda bit, it stabbed into its jaw fiercely.
The anaconda felt pain and its huge body began to swing wildly.
Xue Huan reached for her waist and found the pistol in her hand. She aimed it at the anaconda's mouth, which couldn't close, and fired several shots in quick succession.
Before the gunshot ended, she had already dodged and retreated far away to avoid being entangled by the anaconda's tail with strong strangulation power.
"Roar--" The anaconda screamed in pain and rolled on the ground, sweeping away trees and grass, and splashing mud.
After a long while, the anaconda finally stopped moving. It lay on the ground in a huge lump with a pool of blood under it. It seemed to be dead.
However, Xue Huan still didn't dare to get close. She took off the gun on her back and shot it at the anaconda's head.
boom!
A fist-sized hole was blown into the anaconda's head. Its body twitched violently several times and it died completely.
Xue Huan then stepped forward and used a bull horn knife to dig out the crystal core from the hole in the anaconda's head.
The crystal core is green and as big as a longan. It seems that this anaconda is at level five.
Level five anacondas are not easy to deal with because they are good at hiding and lurking. Their teeth can easily penetrate the human body and their strength is extraordinary. Once entangled, it is extremely difficult to escape.
If this anaconda had chosen to wrap around her at the beginning, Xue Huan would not have been able to kill it so easily.
Fortunately, she withstood the momentary shock when the anaconda bit her and did not retreat, otherwise she would still be entangled.
Xue Huan washed the crystal core, took the fangs back from the anaconda's mouth, touched it with her hand, and the huge anaconda disappeared on the spot.
Anaconda is non-venomous, and its skin, meat, gallbladder, teeth, etc. are all excellent resources and should not be wasted.
She looked at Pei Ji.
Pei Ji walked over. He had taken off his mask. The brim of his hat cast a shadow on his extremely pale face. Against the backdrop of the various dark greens around him, his face looked even whiter and more delicate.
"Where's the snake?"
"I put it away."
The two of them will have to spend a long time together in the future, and Xue Huan can't always avoid him when using the space, so after thinking about it, she decided to use it openly in front of him. As for what he would think, that was beyond her prediction.
Anyway, she wouldn't tell him clearly. If he asked——
She just made an excuse.
However, Pei Ji's character was just as described in the novel, Buddhist and lazy. Apart from showing a hint of surprise at the beginning, he never asked her how she did it.
He just said, “Can you put me away too?”
Xue Huan: “…”
Brother, you are really awesome. Do you think you are just bowing?
"No, I can only put away the dead things."
"Well, I see." Pei Ji took out a mask from his pocket and handed it to her, signaling her with his eyes, like a child waiting for the circus to begin.
Xue Huan had no choice but to perform a "magic trick" of making the mask disappear for him on the spot.
Then, the situation got out of control.
Vines, leaves, wild fruits, dead rabbits... Pei Ji seemed to treat this as a game, and kept handing various things to her along the way, watching her make them "disappear".
Xue Huan felt a little tired.
“Woof woof——”
"Manhattan!" Xue Huan recognized it as the barking of her own dog.
Manhattan rushed straight towards Xue Huan, and behind it, a man with wings on his back was flying in the air, holding a machine gun in his hand, firing at it and chasing it.
When Manhattan hid behind Xue Huan, the man fired directly at Xue Huan and the other person.
Fortunately, Xue Huan reacted quickly, raised the fang and pressed it. The fang turned from a crutch into a transparent umbrella. The umbrella formed a protective shield that blocked all the bullets.
She took the cannon with her other hand and fired a shot at the birdman in the sky.
"Ah!" The man narrowly avoided the fatal part, but his wings were still hit by the artillery fire and he fell headfirst from mid-air.
Xue Huan was just about to go forward to help him, but unexpectedly another group of people appeared.
One man, two women, and a mutant giant panda!
The man was tall and handsome, and there were two women. One was petite and had a cute face, like a girl from a two-dimensional comic, and the other was fair-skinned and beautiful, and she was sitting on a giant panda running towards them!
How could Xue Huan, who had read the novel, not recognize such a distinctive combination?
This is clearly the protagonist group!
