Chapter 312 Above the Ruins 8

 "Looks very awesome."

Mao Shengqi commented, and Mao Shengjiu next to him nodded in agreement.

"Stop nagging and leave quickly!" Zhao Yiran walked to the off-road vehicle and greeted.

Because the mission target this time is data, we did not choose a truck as our outing tool, but an off-road vehicle with superior performance.

Six people drove two off-road vehicles, one for Zhao Yiran, Lin Xiu, and Zhang Shanwei, and one for Bai Xi and the Mao brothers.

Bai Xi sat behind the driver's seat, Mao Shengjiu sat in the passenger seat, and Mao Shengqi drove the car. Because they were not familiar with Bai Xi, neither of them knew how to talk to her, so they were silent the whole way.

Bai Xi is also happy like this. If they don't talk to her, she doesn't have to worry about lying. To tell a lie, it takes countless lies to cover it up.

As the car drove out of the base, the scene outside slowly came into view. Before, I only looked at the base from a distance and saw the overall situation. Now that I got closer, I realized that there was really no grass growing here.

Looking around, there is no green at all. The only color embellishment is the blue sky like a gem. There are no birds or other small animals around.

Seeing Bai Xi looking at the scene outside the window in a daze, Mao Shengjiu asked: "Su Cheng, which district did you live in before?"

"Any area is fine, as long as you can survive." Bai Xi gave an ambiguous answer. Thinking that he had not seen any vegetation along the way, he asked: "Why is there no grass growing near the base?"

"It doesn't rain all year round, causing the land to become drier and drier, and the land near the base has been completely ruined." Mao Shengqi replied.

Bai Xi: "Where does that food come from?"

Mao Shengjiu: "The base has its own cultivation center, where everything we usually eat comes from. Sometimes when we go out, we will bring some food back."

Later, Bai Xi answered Mao Shengjiu's questions one by one. Seeing that Bai Xi didn't want to talk, he wisely didn't ask any more questions.

More than an hour later, the convoy was speeding along and finally walked out of the desert, and little green spots began to appear in the field of vision.

As the motorcade continued to move forward at any time, scattered patches of vegetation began to appear, shallow weeds began to grow on the ground, and occasionally the sound of insects could be heard.

"We have entered the P23 area. Everyone, cheer up and be careful of survivors outside the area." Zhao Yiran's voice sounded in the car.

"Received."

Mao Shengqi replied, and Mao Shengjiu next to him also became nervous, wary of the movements outside.

"Ahead is the P23 area. There are no powerful mutated animals and plants here, but there are many survivors from outside the area. They often rob others who pass by here."

Since I didn’t know whether Su Cheng had been here before, Mao Shengqi briefly explained the situation here.

"Yeah."

Hearing this, Bai Xi loaded the gun, rolled down the car window a little, leaving a gap for the gun barrel, and then paid attention to the movement outside.

After walking nervously for about half an hour, the surroundings were quiet and there was no sign of anyone.

"Why is there no movement at all today? Are all the survivors outside the area on vacation?" came Lin Xiu's puzzled voice.

"Stay alert, beware of scams." Zhao Yiran became nervous. The biggest problem was that there was no problem. The P23 area has always been unstable. Why is it suddenly so quiet today?

"Yes, Captain."

Zhao Yiran's reminder made everyone alert, there must be a monster when something goes wrong.

They continued to drive for more than half an hour, until they walked out of area P23, and the group did not see a single survivor outside the area.

"That's it?"

"Have we passed through the P23 area? We won't go the wrong way, right?"

Lin Xiu and Zhang Shanwei had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Mao Shengqi took out his tablet and started searching for location.

"That's right! It's area P23." Mao Shengqi confirmed it several times, "We're pretty lucky this time."

"Send the news back to the base and see if there is any way to explore the situation in the P23 area through satellite." Zhao Yiran asked. The survivors outside the area are more sophisticated and ruthless than the other. How could they let go of two trucks full of supplies?

Car?

"Okay, Captain."

Lin Xiu replied, passing the news back to the base.

"Isn't this the road you took yesterday?" Bai Xi looked out the window at the dense forest beside the road. This road used to be a national highway, but it is now occupied by plants.

From the moment she entered this area, her space gradually changed from lively to inexplicably quiet.

There were clearly insects and birds chirping around, but she could not sense the corresponding spatial fluctuations. You must know that as long as life exists in space and there are life activities, there will be corresponding spatial fluctuations.

"No. In order to prevent survivors from outside the area from knowing their whereabouts, we set up an ambush halfway. Every time we search, we will choose a different route." Mao Shengqi explained.

Bai Xi: "That means setting up an ambush is unlikely?"

"Although it's not big, it's still possible. Survivors outside the area will place detectors at the edge of the area. As long as we enter, they will know."

"But there are not many of them. As long as we pass quickly, we usually won't pursue too much. If we rashly enter the territory of other survivors outside the area, the two parties will probably fight."

Lin Xiu and Zhang Shanwei explained one after another.

At this point, Zhang Shanwei looked strange and asked: "Su Cheng, aren't you a survivor outside the area? Don't you know this?"

"I am a person."

Bai Xi said lightly, she really didn't know how to reply.

"Lone walkers?" Lin Xiu said in surprise, "There really are loners! It's amazing to be able to survive alone outside the area."

Lone Walkers are weird among the survivors outside the area. They neither like to team up with others nor stick to one area, but with their strong strength, no one dares to provoke them even if they are alone.

"The loner is synonymous with strength."

The two Mao brothers nodded repeatedly and secretly glanced at Bai Xi through the rearview mirror, admiring them greatly.

Bai Xi looked calm but exclaimed in her heart.

Damn it! What are you thinking about? I am not a lone traveler, I am not strong, I am just a rookie! If you think so, I am under great pressure.

"Since you are free on your own, why do you want to enter our base?"

For some reason, Zhang Shanwei always felt that something was wrong with Su Cheng. The captain and the others were too careless. How could they accept outsiders so casually?

Zhang Shanwei doesn't know that their memories have long been modified by the game.

"Didn't you pick me up?"

Bai Xi asked back.

She only knew that Su Cheng's personal information was discovered and brought back by Zhao Yiran and Lin Xiu. The game did not give out the specific details of the process.

In another car, Zhao Yiran looked at the co-pilot Zhang Shanwei and shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with her suspicion of Su Cheng.

If Su Cheng has another problem, she is now a member of the team. Besides, she is still on the way to a mission. Zhang Shanwei's words undermine the unity and easily arouse Su Cheng's resentment.
