Xiao Jin nimbly avoided the slime and corpses on the ground. Her gaze swept around and she found that the buildings on both sides of the street had been completely destroyed by the swarm of cockroaches.
"Are they so hungry they're eating the walls?!"
Today is the fourth day of the game, and the cockroaches have probably ruined most of the resources in the city.
Even if Xiao Jin had them, she wouldn't want to put them into her spatial storage, because who knows if they might contain cockroach eggs.
"Let's go check out the inner city!" This thought flashed through Xiao Jin's mind.
She remembered that Gao Ya had mentioned that the government of this world had established a safe zone and moved all the living residents to the inner city.
There's a well-developed defense system and plenty of supplies there; many players have probably already gone.
However, Xiao Jin did not know the exact location of the inner city.
She stood on the street, her gaze sweeping over her surroundings, seemingly in no hurry.
Although she didn't know, there were other people in the city who did!
………………
Standing on the edge of the city, Xiao Jin's gaze swept over the dilapidated streets and collapsed buildings, and she decided to try her luck.
This actually shows that Xiao Jin had good luck today.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave for the next location, the roar of an engine came from afar.
Xiao Jin's ears twitched slightly. She quickly hid behind a broken wall and looked warily in the direction from which the sound came.
Soon, a convoy of fully armed vehicles came into her view.
It was a supplies collection team of about twenty people, dressed in uniform protective suits, carrying weapons, and followed by two heavy trucks.
Their actions were well-organized and clearly demonstrated their high level of training.
"Found it..." Xiao Jin murmured to himself, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
If anyone would know the location of the inner city, it would only be the supply gathering team and rescue team that came out of the inner city!
She didn't reveal herself rashly, but waited until the team got close before emerging from behind the broken wall.
"Who's there?" A team member sensed something approaching, turned around decisively, and shouted loudly, his tone tinged with vigilance.
He thought it was some kind of mutated animal, and without even looking closely, he pointed the gun directly at it.
Even after they realized the victims were human, the team did not put down their guns.
It's not because they're carrying a lot of supplies that many people have already set their sights on them along the way.
Xiao Jin raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.
She lowered her eyes slightly and said harmlessly, "I am a survivor and would like to ask about the location of the inner city."
The team members exchanged glances, clearly surprised by Xiao Jin's appearance.
The captain stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Jin before asking, "Are you alone?"
Xiao Jin nodded, her tone calm: "Yes, I'm alone."
The captain frowned, clearly surprised by Xiao Jin's composure.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "The inner city is outside the city; you can see it by going through the woods. However, the road is dangerous, so you'd better be careful."
Because they had their own missions to complete, they naturally couldn't escort Xiao Jin to the inner city like the rescue team.
Xiao Jin nodded, thanked him, and then turned and left.
She didn't waste any more time and quickly headed towards the outskirts of the city.
………………
After passing through the city, Xiao Jin entered the woods.
The woods were silent, save for the rustling of leaves in the wind. Her steps were light and quick, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.
However, just as she was halfway there, something unexpected happened.
"Whoosh—" A thorny fruit suddenly flew from the tree, heading straight for Xiao Jin's face.
Xiao Jin swiftly dodged to the side, his long sword instantly unsheathed, his gaze coldly fixed on the direction from which the fruit had flown.
A tall birch tree was swaying its branches, its long twigs waving to the side, and its top was covered with the thorny fruits that had just been thrown over.
“Mutant birch tree…” Xiao Jin muttered to himself, a cold glint in his eyes.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" More fruits flew from the tree, and Xiao Jin's figure flashed quickly, his long sword constantly swinging, knocking the fruits down one by one.
However, the attacks from the mutated birch trees did not stop; instead, they became increasingly fierce.
The long branches lashed at Xiao Jin relentlessly, with such force that they could even tear the earth apart.
No, it's impossible to get close!
Xiao Jin was sent flying several meters away again, leaving long drag marks on the ground with his feet.
The weakness of the mutated birch tree is actually easy to find: its own body.
But every time Xiao Jin tried to get close to the other party, he was blocked by the mutated birch tree's impenetrable attack.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Jin suddenly waved his hand, throwing several shimmering "flying chess pieces" into the air.
As if receiving a battle order, the "chess pieces" were instantly given life, their bodies suddenly enlarging several times over, and they charged towards the mutated birch tree with a roar.
Since it won't let you get close, then use something else to trip it up.
The mutated birch tree was clearly caught off guard by the sudden attack, its branches lashing out like serpents, whipping at the charging "chess pieces" with a whistling sound.
Some of the "chess pieces" couldn't dodge in time and were whipped away by the thick branches. After tumbling several times in the air, their energy was exhausted, and they turned into specks of light and disappeared into the sky.
Others tried to approach, but were struck by the sharp thorns that covered the birch trees, making a "bang" sound, and then followed in the footsteps of their companions.
Xiao Jin, standing to the side, kept his eyes glued to every detail of the battlefield, searching for any fleeting opportunity.
