Chapter 249 A grand gathering in the forest

Six hours later.

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan came to the football country, and there was still no need for inspection when entering the country. After all, there was only one city left in the country, and most of the capable people had left here. The remaining people lived in extreme shortage of supplies.

Chen Ji didn't meet anyone else along the way. After entering the football country, there were only a few highways leading to the outside world, and he could barely drive.

They didn't take the main road either. Huang Yuwen simply activated his superpower, causing the car to float on water and hit the ground.

Driving at such a violent speed, even if there were special powers to protect the car, the people in the car would still be jolted.

When the car bumped into a small town, Chen Ji almost vomited.

"Get off the car first, there seems to be someone in front!"

Chen Ji opened the car door and got out of the car, and helped Zhou Wan out along the way. The two of them leaned on the car to rest together.

"Hehe... I can't help it. My powers can't do anything beyond driving tools. A car can't turn into a plane."

"Next time you fly a plane?"

"Yes, yes, but there is no airport."

While the two were chatting, a few figures vaguely appeared in the small town ahead, looking towards here.

This place is already at the edge of the tropical rain forest, and a tributary of the Amazon River passes through the town, seventy or eighty kilometers away from where Ma Yien found it.

After entering this country, Chen Ji didn't meet anyone else along the way. He didn't expect to see traces of human habitation here, and he saw firelight coming from a distance.

"Could it be related to Lin Zhiyang?"

Zhou Wan looked cautiously at the town ahead.

Lin Zhiyang would not appear here for no reason. He is most likely with the people of the Dark Doomsday Society, but I don't know why they came to the tropical rain forest near the Amazon River.

"Go take a look first, just be careful."

Chen Ji is still confident in the strength of himself and Zhou Wan. The two of them can cope with most difficulties. If they can't, they can call Mu Xiaoxiao to come. Her fighting power is even more impressive.

No one else had any objections. Huang Yuwen, Huang Xiao, Kong Xiaomin and others all got out of the car and followed.

Chen Ji was walking in front, and from a distance he saw several men in dirty coats standing on the roadside under the dark red sun. When they approached, one of them shouted loudly:

"Hey, are you here to pick us up?"

He spoke English.

Chen Ji's heart moved and he replied in less than proficient English: "Are you all here?"

The others remained silent.

There are very few people who can drive in the wild nowadays, so it is not surprising that the other party admits their mistake.

The man opposite him breathed a sigh of relief and said vaguely: "Of course we all have to believe in the great dark god, but our children are still too young to attend the ceremony, so this time they will stay and we will follow."

Chen Ji learned several pieces of information:

There are still people in the town, and the Dark Doomsday Society has come here before and asked them to participate in some kind of ritual activity. The location seems to be deep in the tropical rain forest.

"snort!"

Chen Ji pretended to be angry and snorted, which silenced the people on the other side. Even after Chen Ji approached, they did not dare to take the initiative to ask questions.

Although they saw that Chen Ji and others all had yellow faces, which seemed a little strange, they did not dare to question them.

Chen Ji looked at the appearance and dress of these people.

They should be the indigenous people here, with dark skin and black hair, somewhat similar to the yellow people.

However, these people seemed to have some mixed blood, and their eyes were deep.

The clothes of several people were very simple, like homeless people, and their bodies were very thin, probably the result of not having enough to eat all year round.

Chen Ji glanced at them, and these people lowered their heads.

"Do you remember the ceremony location?"

Chen Ji asked, "Can you go there by yourself?"

Several people looked embarrassed, and one of them said: "Sir, there are many mutated creatures in the rainforest. We can't go deep into the rainforest. Can we follow you?"

Sure enough, we were going to the rainforest.

Chen Ji asked a few more questions and learned that they had received a promise from a certain messenger from the Dark Doomsday Society that they could get what they wanted as long as they participated in a ritual.

Food, clothes, fuel, etc.

As for why they were invited, they probably didn't know, as Chen Ji didn't ask directly.

"Follow me."

Chen Ji asked these people to tie up sleds and skateboards behind the car and follow them. It was a bit cold, but fortunately they didn't have to walk.

"Thank you, Lord Messenger!"

Several people thanked them one after another. Team member Zhu Gao took the opportunity to ask their names and found out that their names were David, Luis, Felipe, etc., and learned that they had been living in a small town.

"Why do you have so much wood?" Huang Yuwen asked strangely.

"There are many unmutated trees in the forest. Let's cut them down and burn them."

"Well."

Huang Yuwen patted his head, he was dumbfounded.

David, who appeared to be in his forties, explained with a sad expression: "But recently our food has become less and less. We sent several young people to the capital, but there was no news from them all. There are only about forty people in the town now...

…”

David said a lot and let Chen Ji know how they lived.

In the metropolis, post-apocalyptic people burned everything they could.

But people who live near the Amazon forest have enough firewood, and as long as they are willing to go deep, they can still cut wood.

However, there are only more than forty people left in one town, which shows that this place has gone through many things and lost most of its population.

"Let's go."

Chen Ji didn't pity them, he still let them stand on the skateboard and let the car drag them away.

David and the others thanked them again, stood on the skateboard, and pulled the rope tightly.

The car started and when driving through the town, Chen Ji saw people in several houses and could hear the shouts of children, but the words they spoke were not in English.

"What they shouted was, Dad, have a nice trip and come back soon."

Zhou Wan acted as a translator to prove that David and others were not lying.

Chen Ji smiled and said, "Do you know the language here?"

“I’ve learned some of the Portuguese they speak~”

Zhou Wan proudly showed off that almost everything she learned before the end was useless.

"sharp."

Chen Ji held her little hand and chatted with her in a low voice.

Also pay attention to the outside.

The off-road vehicle drove forward at a speed of thirty-four per hour. After driving for more than half an hour, the tree stumps on the ground turned into trees.

All the trees near the town have been cut down. If they want to collect more wood, they can only run here.

Fortunately, only the first four months were extremely cold, and the temperature in the next three years was minus 5 degrees Celsius, which greatly reduced the consumption of wood.

"I haven't seen the forest for a long time."

Zhou Wan held Chen Ji's hand, looked out the window, and said with emotion.

She has gone to Earth, but in her own world, she has not seen a forest for a long time.

Only in sparsely populated areas can you see trees.

However, these trees have died, and the leaves have been blown away by the wind, leaving only the bare branches there, covered with ice and snow, and the car lights shine through, making the forest dark and cold.

Once the largest forest on earth, known as the lungs of the earth, now not only the trees have withered, but the animals have also died or mutated, leaving only devastation.

Just like the current earth and current human society.

Chen Ji comforted her.

An hour later, when David and others were shivering from the cold, they finally saw light ahead.

The further the car drove forward, the more lights there were, and it seemed as if a large number of people were coming from all directions and gathering deep in the forest to hold an unprecedented grand meeting.

"this……"

After seeing it clearly, Chen Ji was sincerely amazed that this was indeed a grand event!
