The entire village seems to have been uninhabited for a long time. A thick layer of dust has fallen on the houses, and the zombies outside are all shriveled and emaciated, as if they haven't eaten for a long time.

Several people were hacking and killing zombies, feeling a little heavy.

Although both Chuxi City and Mechanical City have many shortcomings in dealing with the end of the world, as long as people are there, there is still hope.

But there was no one in Muling City, and it had become an empty city.

The sounds of insects, birds, and the wind blowing leaves are often heard in the forest. Usually, when people are resting, they always feel that this kind of sound makes people feel peaceful and peaceful. But when they go to bed at night, they still feel noisy.

But in this village that was originally full of laughter, apart from the roars of zombies, the usual sounds of insects and birds only made people feel quiet and scary.

Several people's expressions were tense, and they even spoke less. They just focused on killing zombies.

Lin An stood at the back. All the zombies around him were killed by others, and they couldn't get over at all.

He slowly looked around, his eyes falling on a big tree not far away.

Because it was a city built in a forest, there were a lot of trees inside. The tree he saw grew on the roadside, and a tree house was built on the tree. The outside of the tree house was decorated with flowers and branches and leaves of various plants. It should have been beautiful originally, but now the flowers and branches and leaves on it have long since dried up, lost their original color, and look decayed and gray.

Lin An walked slowly over, wanting to take a look inside the tree house, but after walking around, he couldn't find the tools to go up.

Looking up at the tree house above, Lin An decided to climb up on his own strength.

Shen Xiuze held Xiaofu's hand, and he handed over the main force to Xu Fang and others, while he was behind to make up for the damage. If any zombies got past them, Shen Xiuze would deal with them.

Just after killing a wave of zombies, he turned around and saw that Lin An, who was following behind him, had disappeared.

With a quick glance, he spotted Lin An in a strange posture.

"What are you doing?" Shen Xiuze led Xiaofu over.

Lin An wanted to climb up and have a look, but it turned out that he overestimated himself and still stood there after working hard for a long time.

At this time, Shen Xiuze also saw the tree house. He handed the traction rope to Lin An, then rolled up his sleeves and climbed up quickly.

This kind of tree house is also the residence of the residents of Muling City. It is neatly packed inside and has complete wooden beds, wooden tables and wooden chairs. Shen Xiuze is tall and has to bend down to get in, although there is also one floor inside. There was thick dust, but Shen Xiuze discovered that there was no quilt on the wooden bed, and there were no clothes in the cabinet.

Wasn't there anyone living here originally?

Or were the clothes taken away?

Finding nothing else, Shen Xiuze came down from above again.

Lin An looked at Shen Xiuze, who had strong body and hands, and then at the towering tree, blinked and said nothing.

"There's no one up there."

Lin An nodded. He knew there was no one up there. After all, if there was someone, he could smell it.

Moreover, apart from them, the entire Wood Spirit City did not smell human.

At night, a few people were sitting in a cleaned tree house, and a large group of zombies gathered under the tree. However, these zombies could not climb the tree and could only stand under the tree and roar upwards.

"There is really no one in the whole city." Xu Fang sat cross-legged on the ground, his usual carefree expression now becoming serious.

"Have they all turned into zombies?" Ouyang Dong felt very uncomfortable.

Wu Duo: "Impossible. Whether it's Chuxi City or Mechanical City, there are some people. People are normal. There must be people alive here. Maybe they escaped." "But, what have we been doing

these days ? ?The only people we met along the way were zombies, not a single living person." Xu Fang told the truth.

The atmosphere became heavy again.

Wu Shuangxue sat on a chair and asked Shen Xiuze, "What do you think happened at the city wall?" "

I don't know. It looks like something knocked it open, and the door was closed. "It's closed. The zombies encountered outside should all exit through the opening." Shen Xiuze lowered his head and thought, "Is it some kind of animal? Or a new special type of zombie, but? At the beginning, the zombies should have all come out." In the city, so I am more inclined to be a zombie beast."

"Ah? What kind of animal is so big?" Xu Fang looked surprised. The five-meter-high city wall was knocked open. If it is really a zombie beast, with this size It's too big.

Wu Shuangxue: "I think so too, but the houses and trees in the city are all intact. What if it's really a huge zombie beast that broke through the city wall but didn't come in?"

Shen Xiuze: "I can't figure it out either. In addition to this, when I searched various houses before, I found that the clothes and daily utensils in some houses were missing. Maybe they really escaped?" Shen Xiuze's words made others They are all a little excited

. Although they don't know the people in Muling City, they are all human beings. It is always a comfort to hear that their kind are still alive.

Lin An was combing Xiaofu's hair. The others were climbing the tree by themselves. He was the only one who groaned for a long time and couldn't climb up. Finally, Shen Xiuze picked him up.

It's a bit embarrassing, after all, even the 14-year-old Udo came up here on his own.

He could only console himself that Xiaofu was also picked up by the other party, and he was not an exception.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Lin An unconsciously slowed down the speed of his hands. He also hoped that the people in Muling City would be safe. Xiaofu looked back at the master in confusion, but found that the other person's attention was not on him at all. ?superior.

Xiaofu turned around and laid his head flat on the ground: Humph!

The next stop after Muling City is Mowus City, which is also deep in the forest, and after leaving Muling City, they will deviate from the direction of Baize City, and the route after that, Wushuangxue Neither I nor Shen Xiuze have been there.

It must be very dangerous anyway.

Originally, they were planning to set off immediately, but Wu Shuangxue thought they could stay in Muling City for a few days. There were many zombies here, which was just a good time for everyone to practice their skills. After all, they didn't know what would happen in the future. They should improve their abilities as much as possible. It can also save lives at critical moments.

This proposal was recognized by everyone, and they all wanted to improve their abilities as soon as possible.

Lin An sat on the ground hugging his knees and combing Xiaofu's hair. After hearing what Grandma Wu said, he looked up and looked at Shen Xiuze, but he hesitated, as if he had something to say.

Finally, I made up my mind, clenched my fists to cheer myself up, and then stood up.

It hit the roof with a thud.

...He had forgotten that the roof here was very low.

When he hit his head, everyone quickly stood up and surrounded him.

"How is it? How is it? Is your head okay?"

"It sounds so loud. Do you have a headache?"

"I have medicine!"

"Hahaha, did you forget that you are in the tree house?"

Lin An covered his head and blushed. They all stood together and shook their heads vigorously: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

After confirming that it was really okay, the others dispersed. The zombies outside the tree house couldn't climb up, and even thought of shaking the big tree, but the branches of the tree It's so strong that it can't be shaken for a while.

They couldn't sleep well at night if they continued like this, so they went back to kill zombies.

Shen Xiuze didn't leave. He felt uncomfortable standing bent over, so he ended up sitting on the ground.

Pointing to the seat next to him, Lin An, whose face was still flushed, slowly walked over and sat there.

"Did you just want to talk to me?" Shen Xiuze had already noticed the other person's expression.

Lin An nodded.

"Is your head okay?"

Lin An didn't move. It was too embarrassing. He wanted to forget about it immediately.

"Is Mouse City dangerous?" Lin An asked. He had only seen relevant documents about Mouse City at home, and was not clear about the environment around this ancient ruins.

"I haven't been there, but I heard from my seniors that there are many plants and animals that have never been seen before around the city of Maus. It is normal for any scene to appear. Many people died before they even reached the ancient city. There are many dangerous mechanisms on the road and in the ancient city. It is said that these are the ancient Mowus people who wanted to prevent outsiders from entering their city."

Lin An was a little lost. After all, Grandma Wu just said that everyone should practice their super powers. Save your life when you encounter danger, and the city of Mouse is the source of danger.

Her long eyelashes trembled. Lin An pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before hesitatingly said, "Actually, I can, yes, I can go by myself." "

Where do you want to go?" Shen Xiuze raised his eyebrows.

Lin An rubbed the corner of his clothes, pointed his fingers again, and said in a low voice that was almost inaudible: "Go?, Mouse City."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air pressure around him seemed to have dropped a lot.

Xiaofu, who was lying on the ground, noticed something unusual and raised his head to look over.

Lin An couldn't hear the reply and secretly looked at Shen Xiuze. He felt a little guilty, so he had been looking in the direction of Xiaofu before talking. Now when he looked over, he realized that Shen Xiuze Xiu Ze was smiling and looking at him with a smile.

When he smiled, the corners of his eyes turned up, which diluted his own vicious feeling. He looked very friendly, but Lin An trembled subconsciously.

He remembered that the last time the other party smiled like this, he knocked his teeth!

Lin An actually forgot many things after becoming a zombie. He only remembered them when he saw corresponding things at certain moments. For example, now, when he saw Shen Xiuze's smile and sat on the ground with his knees crossed, Lin An began to move aside with great desire to survive.

As a result, he was carried back to where he was before he even took two steps.

"Do you know the direction of Mouse City?"

Lin An shook his head.

"Know? Will you encounter any animals or plants on the road?"

Lin An continued to shake his head.

"Do you know what agencies there are in Mowus City?"

Lin An paused and continued to shake his head hesitantly.

"How are you going to go alone??"

"Let's go, walk?"

Shen Xiuze laughed angrily, thinking quite well: "Then how about I help you ask other people what they think?"

The tree house was not large. Shen Xiuze tilted his head slightly and said outside: "Lin An said he wanted to go to Mouse City alone."

The voice was not loud, but everyone under the tree heard it.

In less than a minute, a head came through the small window of the tree house: "Brother An, what do you mean, you want to leave us?"

Ouyang Dong's voice also came from under the tree: "No, we have to go together. "Go."

Grandma Wu came in from outside: "I haven't been to Mouse City yet. I just want to go there before I die. You don't want me to regret it for the rest of my life." It's

over. After a while, Wu Duo also came up. She looked a little aggressive: "Brother An, are you going alone? What will happen to Xiao Fu in Mouse City? If you don't take it with you, it will definitely be very sad and think that the owner has abandoned him. Take it with you, All its dog food is in my hands."

Lin An couldn't even lift his head after being talked about by several people.

When Wu Shuangxue came in, Shen Xiuze had already returned to his usual expression. After listening to the others' replies, he looked at Lin An with unclear meaning: "Do you still want to go alone?" Lin An thought. , but

he didn't dare to say it.

"Let's not talk about other people. Although Mouse City is very dangerous, I am also an explorer after all. Explorers just want to explore the wilderness. The more difficult and mysterious the place, the more I yearn for it. If? The end of the world has not come, sooner or later I will I will go there once, so it is the same for me to go now. Don't feel like going to Mouse City is a drag on everyone. This was decided by everyone together and they went there voluntarily." Shen Xiuze He continued

: "We are companions. We just have to trouble each other and seek help from each other. Otherwise, what do we want our companions to do? Do you understand?" Before Lin An could nod, Xu Fang suddenly spoke

.

"Well, friends, I want to ask for your help first. Can you help me get my head out first? This window is too small! I'm stuck!" There are

windows on three sides of the tree house, but the windows are very small. Xu Fang Taking advantage of the fact that I was bald, I easily stuffed my head in. But the result was that it was easy to get in and difficult to get out, and my head got stuck.

He was hung from a treehouse.
