Chapter 62

A small path was carved out on the winding muddy ground, and the green vegetation on both sides became increasingly sparse.

Long Yilan swung her knife to cut off the sharp thorns that were hooked on the corner of her clothes, scanned the surrounding environment, and wondered: "Why is it getting more and more desolate as we walk?"

Daniu shook his head and said, "This... I don't know."

Xiao Zhian, who had been silent all the way, finally got the chance to speak. His rough voice was mixed with impatience: "Are you wandering around again?!"

"No, no, how dare I!" The dark-skinned man waved his hands repeatedly, speaking quickly and urgently, for fear that if he said less, he would be misunderstood as having other intentions.

Daniu pointed with his fingers and said, "I'm not sure about the other things, but I remember clearly that there is a tall and big Chinese fir tree growing on the top of the cave. It's hard to see clearly from the outside, but when you get closer..."

"Hey! Look! That's it! I'm not lying." Daniu looked up, and the giant tree in his memory was reflected in his eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. "We're here!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

For the first time, Tang Yichao had a deeper understanding of the idiom "towering into the clouds".

This is a giant fir tree that is 30 to 40 meters tall, with a thick trunk that is 5 to 6 meters long, and thin and long leaves. The pointed end flashes a cold light under the sunlight.

The cold wind blew past, and Tang Yichao, who was standing in the sun, sneezed and rubbed his cold knuckles. He felt a piercing cold for no reason.

"The cave is under the giant tree." Daniu widened his eyes with excitement and ran towards the shade of the giant fir tree.

"Don't go!"

With Chu Wanyue's cute shout, the soft green vines quickly wrapped up Daniu like a snake and pulled him back.

Daniu staggered and fell to the ground, his palm pressing on a strange object. He looked down and saw that it was a skull.

The bone was rough, prickly and fragile.

With a "crack".

Frightened, Daniu smashed the white dry bones, and dust flew in the air.

Daniu's eyes followed the dust and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Under the shade of the giant sequoia, black blood splattered on the mud, flies swarmed around the rotten corpse, and a vulture landed, picked up a piece of rotten meat and flew into the sky.

A dark cloud floated over and blocked the sun, making the scene in front of him even more eerie and strange.

He panted, his chest heaving violently, turned around and knelt on the ground, and crawled behind the crowd like a fart.

"No wonder the vegetation becomes less and less as you go further in." Gu Hua twisted a dead leaf, her eyes darkened, "The nutrients in the area are probably absorbed by this tree."

Long Yuanlan picked up a bone and observed it carefully: "These are not human bones."

"Not human bones?" Tang Yichao stepped forward, "Those are the remains of birds and animals."

"This tree... doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking us." Xie Er put on his glasses and looked at the giant cedar with a serious look in his eyes. They were facing a new round of choices.

Detour...or go straight through the giant sequoia trees.

Jiang Yunqi turned around: "Is there any other way?"

Daniu sat on the ground and shook his head frantically: "No, the beach is just down the road."

"After a rough look, there are almost no human corpses." Xie Er patted the dust on his hands, "There is a 50% chance that the giant sequoia will not take the initiative to attack."

Xiao Zhian might have been a polemical player in the past. He curled his lips, his words full of doubt: "Forget it, if there is no danger, why pull Daniu back? Why not just let him walk over? It's a waste of time."

"I think you are just scared. You are really a useless pretty boy."

Tang Yichao rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight him, but was stopped by Xu Huili: "Are you crazy? We dragged him back because we were not sure about the degree of danger. Do you want to watch your teammates die?"

"If he dies, he dies. It's none of my business."

Xiao Zhian's words completely ignited Tang Yichao's anger.

He finally understood.

None of these people are good!

"Tang Xiaochao." Gu Bingchen's voice was low and deep, "Why are you saying so much? Let's go."

Tang Yichao bit his lip, turned around and followed Gu Bingchen and the others.

"Director Hua, Brother Niu's mission is complete. For your safety..." Gu Bingchen smiled falsely, "There are signs along the way. Return the same way, or stay where you are and wait for us."

"Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise and take you out of the island."

Before leaving, Gu Bingchen patted Hua Ming's shoulder.

"Brother Hua, I...are we leaving?" Huang Xin asked cautiously.

Hua Ming had a gloomy look on his face. He wanted to follow, but when he thought of the supplies in the two cars, he gritted his teeth and turned away.

The direction was exactly the way back.

Xiao Zhian looked left and right, and followed Hua Ming's footsteps unwillingly.

His life was still more important.

"Boss, aren't you worried that they will encounter danger on the way back?" Tang Yichao asked curiously.

Gu Bingchen glanced at him calmly: "Did you see any other survivors along the way?"

Tang Yizhao was slightly stunned: "Yes, let alone survivors, there were not many zombies."

"No wild animals either." According to his experience in the past two days, he added.

"The bloody smell on them is exactly the same as Xu Kewen before." Gu Bingchen's eyes showed a layer of coldness, "The same stench."

Xu Kewen, the boy who enjoyed eating people.

Tang Yichao was stunned: "I mean... Hua Ming and his people also eat people!"

"Others don't know, but Hua Ming must have done this." Chu Wanyue rubbed Tang Yichao's curly hair, "Tang Tang, you lack experience."

Xie Er pushed his glasses: "After you go back, you don't have to do chores."

Before Tang Yichao could smile, he heard Xie Er's gentle voice saying something chilling: "Come with me to experience."

This is probably the greatest sorrow.

Tang Yichao dragged his corpse-like legs and followed the crowd listlessly.

Walking down the road pointed by Da Niu, the muddy road soon became a soft sandy beach.

"It smells so fishy! So stinky!" Xu Huili covered his nose, the fishy smell almost made him dizzy.

Gu Bingchen immediately handed over a brand new handkerchief: "Cover it, it won't be so uncomfortable."

He did not forget Jiang Yunqi's keen sense of smell.

Jiang Yunqi sniffed the handkerchief and smelled a faint fragrance.

The same fragrance as Gu Bingchen's body.

There were some white bones on the beach, all of which were the carcasses of sea fish, piled on the shore, and after being exposed to wind and sun, they exuded a disgusting fishy and rotten smell.

"How disgusting!"

Tang Yichao walked around the piles of dead fish and vomited twice.

Long Yilan and Xie Er did not react much.

After all, the two had seen more disgusting dead bodies of the Zerg.

"That's the cave!"

Tang Yizhao's face flushed from holding his breath. He pointed to a dark cave entrance.

The waves hit the rocks at the entrance of the cave, making a dull sound.

The few people walked carefully over the slippery stones in the waves. The cave was a little better, with only the salty smell of the sea breeze.

The deep cave was dimly lit and filled with a cold breath. The walls were covered with sharp rocks, and stalactites hung on the top of the cave entrance.

The water drops dripped down and fell into the sea, adding a bit of gloomy and weird atmosphere.

"Did you guys... hear any sound?"

Talking here echoes. Xu Huili pinched his earlobe and could always hear the sound of diving deep in the cave.

Tang Yichao silently raised his hand: "I heard it too."

"Be careful." Gu Bingchen held the flashlight he found from the space in one hand and covered Jiang Yunqi's eyes with the other hand, then he told the others, "Close your eyes."

"Click"

he flipped the switch, and a dazzling white light suddenly lit up.

Even though Gu Bingchen reminded them in advance, Tang Yichao and Xu Huili were still blinded by the light because they didn't have time to close their eyes.

"Is this a flashlight? This one must be a searchlight!" Xu Huili lowered his head and closed his eyes for a long time, but still felt a whiteness in front of his eyes. He whispered, "My eyes are going to go blind."

Tang Yichao didn't argue this time and nodded vigorously.

Gu Bingchen ignored the two men's complaints, and the strong light illuminated the entire cave.

Although he had expected it, he was still shocked when he actually saw it.

Under the strong light, a huge starship landed in the center of the cave, half of it sank into the sea, and half of it was exposed on the ground.

The color of the starship could no longer be seen, and the surface was covered with moss. Even though it was gray, it still exuded a strange glow in their eyes.

This was a high praise for the future high technology.

Xie Er stepped forward, raised the Tang sword and scraped off the moss and dirt, gradually revealing a hexagram.

"This starship was torn in the middle." The bony fingers slowly stroked the wound of the starship. "If it also came through a wormhole, the other half should have been torn apart by the storm."

Tang Yichao opened his mouth wide, and the fictional starship in the science fiction novel had a real shape.

"The door is here." Long Yilan jumped up and came to the side wing. She knocked on the door with the handle of the knife, making a crisp sound. "This door... was violently dismantled."

She bent down and scanned the scratches on the door: "The construction materials of the starship cannot be cut by ordinary instruments."

Xie Er walked over, and Long Yilan made way.

"I think so. Such a huge thing cannot be without any movement."

Gu Hua looked up and looked at the starship in front of her, and a trace of fighting spirit ignited in her heart.

With the current technology, can they build it?

Probably not.

She touched the cold outer wall of the starship, tears flashing in her eyes.

There were corpses everywhere outside, and the first thing to consider was to quickly develop a zombie vaccine.

Only by ending this catastrophe can mankind develop again.

Gu Hua sniffed, put her mind together, and looked at Xie Er's actions.

"Go this way."

Xie Er flipped out the interstellar tools and equipment on the space button, took some time, and opened the door.

The space inside was dozens of square meters. Xie Er came in and looked around, and only called people in when he found no danger.

A familiar scene came into view, and suddenly a lot of thoughts came to mind. It seemed that the interstellar world had passed a long time ago for Jiang Yunqi.

It was only half a year ago...
