Chapter 94 Zombie World Days 567 The Third Source
The locations of the last two sources also surfaced in her mind: one in Country E, the other in the Southern Hemisphere. Yu Luowei managed to obtain maps of both countries, plotted her route at home, and the next day, signed up for another long-term freelance mission and began her journey.
The first place they went to was Country E, as it was closer. Speaking of which, Yu Luowei had a fondness for Country E because of several famous novels she had read as a child. Unfortunately, she had no money before, and now she has no means to travel.
Most of the time this trip was spent driving. Yu Luowei was so bored while driving that she couldn't help but think wildly: Fortunately, the world order has collapsed now, otherwise, let alone problems like visas and passports, the different driving rules alone would be enough to make her suffer.
He changed to a plane and flew into the territory of Country E. According to the map in his mind, Yu Luowei chose an empty and deserted place to land.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Yu Luowei took in his surroundings: a vast expanse of dense jungle, with not a soul in sight. Unsure of his exact location, Yu Luowei first determined the directions, then began his search.
At this point, besides looking in the direction the zombies appeared, she had only experience to rely on. The previous two times had been related to water, so this time she would directly feel the moisture in the air, preparing to search for a lake or river.
What a pity, although there are some in the forest, they are all very small, and there is no very thick black air, and no zombies coming out of the water.
It was really strange. After passing another small pond, Yu Luowei stopped. He walked for most of the day but still couldn't find the real source. The zombies seemed to have disappeared and he didn't encounter any.
Is it because this forest is too big? Yu Luowei stopped and prepared to rest for a while, and by the way, carefully feel the concentration of black air in the air and adjust his direction.
However, the direction was the same as the initial one. Could it be because she had landed too far away? Yu Luowei shifted her focus as she set out again. Besides focusing on areas with water, she also observed areas with dense black energy. While walking, she also had to think about where to stay tonight. It could be said that she was multitasking.
After walking a few steps forward, he finally saw the first zombie after landing. Yu Luowei actually saw a sense of familiarity in that ferocious face.
The zombies paused upon seeing Yu Luowei. After a few seconds, they apparently mistook her for one of their own kind and walked past her, their stiff limbs dragging their legs. A moment later, more zombies appeared in the same direction, this time ignoring Yu Luowei.
Since they ignored him, Yu Luowei was happy to be free and no longer bothered with them. He stopped the aggressive Ma Tuan and moved forward in the direction they came from.
The increasing number of zombies along the way indirectly proved that this path was the right one. Yu Luowei quickened her pace. After chopping off countless branches that blocked her path, she stopped—there was no way forward.
This forest is an ordinary coniferous forest. Most of the trees are of normal thickness, except for the huge one in front of him, which is wider than 10 Yu Luowei.
It was also very tall. Looking up, one couldn't see the top at a glance, and it stood out from the surrounding scenery. Even without sensing the density of the surrounding black energy, Yu Luowei knew this was the third source. A few seconds later, the zombies that emerged from the tree trunk also proved this point.
After taking care of a few zombies blocking his way, Yu Luowei focused on the giant tree in front of him.
There were trees all around. Yu Luowei first tried to release a little fire onto the giant tree, but it was quickly absorbed by the giant tree, as if it had never existed.
It didn't seem to affect the surroundings, but to be on the safe side, Yu Luowei cut down a few nearby trees and surrounded the giant tree with an ice wall before starting the purification. The red flames and blue ice seeped into the bark the moment they touched the trunk, and red and blue patterns slowly appeared on the trunk.
The purification period was still ten days, so Yu Luowei set up a tent outside the ice wall to temporarily stay. She had found this tent while looting a supermarket. Compared to ordinary tents, it was larger and more refined. Probably because it was expensive, few people bought it, so she kept it until now.
Compared to the tent bought from the points mall in the game, this one is much more comfortable to live in. It’s just a little troublesome to set up, and it was already late at night when she finished setting it up.
But a tent was a tent after all, and her old bed couldn't fit in it. This was arguably the worst situation Yu Luowei had faced since returning. So, for the past few days, she'd been circling the giant tree, constantly replenishing her magic to try to shorten the time.
Unfortunately, ten days was the limit. No matter how hard Yu Luowei tried, it was useless. She could only give up the idea.
She called Ma Tuan back from the forest, where he was running around. He actually liked it there and was having a blast. Yu Luowei told him to keep an eye on it while she prepared to teleport somewhere else. The concentration of black energy around Ma Tuan was quite high, so normally, zombies would ignore him. Besides the zombie nets, ordinary zombies couldn't hurt him either.
After the preparations were complete, Yu Luowei teleported several times and left the forest. After a few more teleports, he arrived at a nearby "city" where densely packed houses and other buildings began to appear.
If the zombies hadn't happened, Yu Luowei could have just wandered around and treated it as a trip; she'd never been abroad before. But now, the place was essentially a ruin. Few buildings remained intact, and it was hard to tell whether it was a city or a small town (partly because Yu Luowei wasn't familiar with the place). There wasn't a single human figure to be seen, only a few zombies shuffling around aimlessly.
Relying on the fact that the zombies would not hurt him and this was not China, he would leave in two days. Yu Luowei put on a mask and swaggered on the street.
Although some houses have been damaged, the surrounding plants still remind people of their former beauty, which makes Yu Luowei feel a little uncomfortable.
However, despite feeling uncomfortable, she still collected some bottled water, clothes and other items when passing by several buildings that looked like supermarkets. The other food had basically rotted, so it would be useless to take it.
After a tour around the place, Yu Luowei gained quite a bit, and as it was getting dark, she prepared to go home.
After teleporting back to the edge of the forest, Yu Luowei paused, keenly noticing something different around her. She put her mask back on, stopped teleporting, and walked along a path through the forest.
After a while, she heard some noises, hid in the woods, and then began to observe: a small group, probably from the E country, was setting up camp in the forest.
They might have entered this forest to avoid the zombies outside. However, this place is still some distance away from the giant tree at the source, and there are still two days to go. If this group of people just want to take refuge, they probably won't go all the way inside.
Yu Luowei observed them for a while, confirmed that the things they brought were things that would normally appear at this time, and then marked the location and teleported away directly.
She returned to the giant tree. Because Ma Tuan was there, she did not maintain the ice wall when she left. Now there were more outsiders in the forest, so she gave up the plan to replenish the ice wall and moved the tent behind the tree to make sure that the group of people would not be able to see the tent as long as they did not go up to the sky.
In the next two days, Yu Luowei had the additional task of observation. As she expected, this group of people just wandered around their base and even encountered the zombies that had come out of the giant tree before. Fortunately, they also had special abilities and barely survived.
However, after encountering the zombies, the group took out some unknown objects and fiddled with them for a while. Yu Luowei only saw the colors and a few antennas on the telescope.
Could he be messaging someone outside? Yu Luowei had a bad feeling. Fortunately, this was already the last day. She quickly packed up the tents she had set up around her and prepared to leave as soon as the purification was complete.
Her intuition was right. Not long after she finished packing, she heard the roar of airplanes in the distance. Soon, several well-trained troops appeared in the forest.
How could they actually run into the military of another country? Yu Luowei, who had already climbed up the nearby trees, was filled with surprise.
If you think about it, this tree is so tall, it's impossible for the country's officials not to have discovered it. If that group of people were officials, then they probably knew the danger of the tree and didn't dare to go any deeper. The report now probably means they discovered that the zombies might be connected to the tree. It's just that the other supplies they carried and their appearance made Yu Luowei, who was unfamiliar with them, never think of the official side of the matter.
After the group boarded the plane, the rest of the troops cleared a barrier around the giant tree, and the attack on the tree began. Yu Luowei had noticed something was wrong long before and quickly blocked the space around him, so that he would not be accidentally injured and could still see what was happening outside.
Because the magic was hidden beneath the bark, the tree appeared perfectly normal on the outside, so the army didn't notice anything unusual and simply attacked. Soon, the time for the purification was complete. With a cannon blast, the giant tree instantly turned to ash and disappeared into the forest.
The group of soldiers thought that their attack had worked, and after cheering for a while, they sent people down to collect the ashes for research, and at the same time clean up the zombies wandering in the forest caused by the tree.
What a shame, after all, it wasn't actually caused by a cannonball. The ashes vanished the moment they hit the ground, and their first goal was doomed to fail. Yu Luowei confirmed that the source had been completely resolved, and then teleported away without any regrets, leaving only the confused E countrymen behind.
Returning to her base, Yu Luowei went to hand in her supplies as usual. However, the foreign supplies she had handed in aroused some suspicion, but her eloquence and the current shortage of supplies overcame this suspicion. Ultimately, she returned home with a generous reward of contribution points.
After a blissful month of rest at home, during which she was "asked" to take out several high-level zombies—currently the psychic with the highest mission success rate and the most supplies found in the base—Yu Luowei decided to head for the final source. With her current contribution points, she could stay here with her mother for a few months. Therefore, Yu Luowei was filled with energy.
