"They spread like a plague to every corner of the globe, completely upending the entire world..."
"The rich chose to leave this land, some of those who stayed built the lighthouse, and the refugees who had no way to leave or enter the lighthouse became the nourishment for the creeping vines..."
"They sacrificed all the life essence they absorbed to the earth vines, making them stronger and stronger..."
"Thus, even more powerful Soul-Devouring Beasts were born..."
"Therefore, if we want to end the entire Mana ecosystem, we must eradicate the biggest culprit... the Earth Vine!"
The woman spoke eloquently, while Ye Li listened quietly from the side.
His gaze kept sweeping over the photos and newspaper pictures.
It records almost all the changes in humankind from the early to the later stages of the disaster.
Despair, struggle, pain, death...
Scenes flashed through Ye Li's mind like a revolving lantern.
"So, where is the earth vine?!"
Ye Li asked curiously.
"underground!"
The woman gave a concise answer.
"..."
Ye Li was speechless.
(´-ω-`)
He naturally knew that the vines were underground.
What I mean is
Ye Li was about to explain when the woman spoke first: "Right under our feet!"
"What are we standing on?"
Ye Li and the little stone monkey couldn't help but look down at the floor beneath their feet.
It's very ordinary; there's absolutely nothing unusual about it.
"The Earth's core!"
The woman said.
"..."
Ye Li's forehead was covered in black lines.
This woman just can't explain herself clearly in one go.
Why make it so complicated every time?
To highlight one's intelligence?
"But unfortunately, humans are completely unable to enter that place!"
The woman's gaze fixed on Ye Li's face, her voice becoming low and serious.
"Why?"
Ye Li frowned and asked, puzzled.
"There are not only Mana creatures there, but also the Earth Vine itself. Although it will not actively attack humans now, if a human gets close and poses a threat to it, the Earth Vine will not sit idly by and wait to die."
The woman explained.
Ye Li raised the Barrett rifle in his hand and said confidently, "I thought it would be much more difficult. But all we have to do is clear away the obstacles in our way... The road is made by walking, not by waiting for others to make way for it..."
At this point, Ye Li paused, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "And... I'm very strong!"
The little stone monkey also cooperated by showing off its muscles.
His arms and chest were bulging, with clearly defined muscles, exuding a sense of power.
It also chirped twice, indicating that it was also very strong.
The woman saw all of this, but remained completely unmoved.
She walked to the other workbench.
He picked up a transparent screen and casually tossed it to Ye Li.
[Obtained: Borderlands Super Navigator *1]
Borderlands Super Navigation
[The description above details the terrain, topography, resource areas, and danger zones of the unclaimed land.]
[...]
"Super...Super De Navigation?"
Ye Li couldn't help but smile as he listened to the notification sound in his ear.
The unreliable and unethical navigation system keeps echoing in my mind.
What should be a one-kilometer route can be stretched to two kilometers.
There was originally a wide road, but it somehow managed to navigate to a rural embankment.
Is this thing reliable?
Ye Li still asked a question out of concern.
"It was salvaged from a garbage dump and has been used for decades, so it should be fine."
The woman leaned gently against the workbench and began to speak.
