This time, they did not deliberately avoid the area near the subway station and headed directly to the nearest highway intersection.

The wilderness in the last days is overgrown with weeds and the roads are very difficult to walk. Even if Du Jiujiu and An Cheng alternately open the way ahead, the team's progress is very slow.

But fortunately, most people have awakened their powers and their physical fitness has been greatly improved. Even Xiao Mo, because she has awakened her powers, can even walk easier than Hu Xiaoyun.

Only Professor Sun was old and had not awakened his powers. He was already out of breath not long after walking. When walking through a vine, he accidentally stumbled on a creeping vine and almost fell down.

On the ground.

Luo Yucheng had been paying attention to Professor Sun. When he saw this situation, he quickly stepped forward to support him and carried him on his back. This way, he no longer had to worry about Professor Sun's body, and the team's march speed accelerated a lot.

The plants in the dense forest were all kinds of strange, and the trees blocked the sky and the sun. When they went deep into it, the roads and buildings that had been destroyed by mutant plants and strange beasts were completely blocked.

They could only barely determine the general direction from the light falling through the gaps in the tree canopy, but it was too difficult to find a road in such a big city based on the direction alone.

When the sun's light moved directly above the tree crown, they had lost their way in the dense forest.

"Jiujiu, are we going the right way?" An Cheng looked at the increasingly strange plants in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

In this dense forest, the deeper you go, the more aggressive animals and plants there are. Counting the few squirrels that harassed them just now, they were attacked by seven or eight waves of plants in just one morning.

Fortunately, these plants and strange beasts were not strong enough, and most of them were driven away in one encounter. However, such intensive attacks also left a few of them with a lot of physical strength.

"There is definitely no problem with this direction, but although I have always lived in S city, I have never been here very often. I only know the general direction of the highway, but I really don't know how far it is."

Du Jiujiu raised his head and scanned the surrounding plants, and shook his head helplessly. The only buildings that could be used as a reference had been submerged in the wildly growing vegetation. Now they could only continue to move forward.

"It doesn't matter if you are heading in the right direction. As long as you keep moving forward, you can always get there." Hearing this, An Cheng wiped the sweat from his head and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Huh... I don't know how far this road will go. Otherwise, let's rest for a while. I really can't walk anymore."

Hu Xiaoyun was out of breath at this time. The whole morning of traveling and dealing with the animals and plants that actively attacked them were really too much for her body.

"That's good. Let's eat something on the way. The rabbit we just shot will be wasted if we don't deal with it."

Luo Yucheng pointed to the big bloody rabbit on his shoulder and said.

This rabbit was the only alien animal they took the initiative to attack on the road. After all, they were traveling lightly and needed to ensure a supply of food at all times.

However, only about two hours have passed since the rabbit was hunted, but the exposed flesh and blood at the rabbit's wound has turned into a stale dark brown. It seems that as they evolve, the bacteria are also evolving.

It continues to evolve, and the speed of reproduction is getting faster and faster.

Everyone chose a relatively flat location under a large tree, cleared away the nearby weeds, and then began to deal with the fat rabbit.

It didn't take long for the enticing aroma of barbecue to spread all around.

“It smells so good!”

While controlling the temperature of the barbecue, Hu Xiaoyun carefully applied the few remaining seasonings evenly on the rabbit meat.

Xiao Mo snuggled next to Professor Sun, staring at the barbecue with her big eyes, and a glistening trace of unknown liquid dripped from her mouth.

Du Jiujiu looked at Xiao Mo's innocent appearance and couldn't help but think of the little boy she and An Cheng brought back from the hardware store that day - Lin Haochen.

Xiao Mo is similar in age to him, and although one is lively and the other is withdrawn, the same light shines in her eyes when she calls her sister.

If she had been stronger back then, maybe Xiaochen could still be by her side now instead of falling into the hands of that perverted woman Qi Lan.

Du Jiujiu hopes that Xiaochen is well now and can return to her one day and call her sister again, but such a simple wish is almost a luxury.

Based on Xinglan's behavior, it is more likely that Xiaochen has been tortured to death by her, and her Xiaochen will never come back.

Thinking of this, Du Jiujiu's eyes dimmed.

At this moment, there was a sound of slight footsteps. Du Jiujiu raised her head and saw Luo Yucheng walking over with a piece of roasted rabbit meat wrapped in oil and sitting next to her.

"The meat is roasted, let's eat some."

Luo Yucheng said softly and put the rabbit leg into Du Jiujiu's hand.

Du Jiujiu didn't refuse, thanked her, took it, lowered her head and ate in silence.

The aroma of the barbecue was too strong and the smoke filled the surroundings, making the area even more dangerous.

So after filling their stomachs, the group continued on their way with the few remaining barbecues.

In the afternoon, their luck seemed to have improved, and they did not encounter any creatures that could threaten them.

Moreover, most of the energy consumed in the morning was replenished by the intake of mutated rabbit meat, so the group was full of energy.

"Look, there's a plaque here!"

After An Cheng chopped down a bunch of grass blades, half of the worn-out plaque was revealed.

This plaque seems to have once been hung on tall stone pillars on both sides, but now the stone pillars have long been knocked down by overgrown plants, and only a few words on the plaque can be vaguely read - Scenic Area.

"Ah, it turns out to be this scenic spot!"

After seeing this plaque, Du Jiujiu immediately regained her lost sense of direction. However, after looking at the sun that was already setting, she frowned and said:

"We are still about a few kilometers away from the nearest highway, and it looks like we won't be able to get there today. But fortunately, there is a service area not far ahead. If those buildings are not too badly damaged, we will not be able to get there tonight.

You can rest there.”

"That would be perfect. It would be scary to think about spending the night in such a wild place."
