Apocalyptic Dark Age

"Captain..., Commander? The one who asked you to come over..."

Gu Cun, who was deep in thought, was woken up by the people around him. Hearing this, he quickly stood up, but he didn't know the direction. Gao Feng and Jialuo had left long ago. Only the dug wet pit still exuded the smell of muddy water not far away. Afterwards, Gu Cun was taken by his subordinates to the place where the crack was discovered, where there were many Gao Feng and Jia Luo, huddled together and studying something.

"Come here, take a look at this thing. Do you recognize it?"

Gao Feng knew the arrival of Gu Cun and others without turning around. He said without raising his head and motioned to Jia Luo next to him to give way. A stout Jia Luo reluctantly gave way. He stared at the things on the ground reluctantly and turned his head. He glared at Gu Cun again. Gu Cun nodded and bowed to show caution. When he walked over, he saw a strange plant in front of Gao Feng.

The plants are like silk threads twisted into a ball. They look messy. In fact, they have too many branches. Each branch is curled inward. The curled branches grow smaller branches. They are dark green and blurry under fluorescent light. Easy to distinguish.

Gu Cun looked at it for a long time, but he really didn't recognize it. He shook his head and said:

"After hundreds of years of environmental changes, the underground biological system has undergone great changes. New species of animals and plants are discovered every year, but not every new species has development value. This thing..."

After saying this, Gu Cun hesitated and said hesitantly:

"Do you want us to eat this?"

"What? Don't want to?"

Gao Feng raised his head and looked at Gu Cun strangely. Could it be that at this time, these guys still want to be picky? Gu Cun suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. He stared at the plants on the ground and whispered:

"Underground plants generally contain toxins. Once eaten, they will accumulate in the body and be difficult to remove, so it is better to eat less... However, I can't worry about so much at this time. Try it with two people first to see if there are any side effects. Not big….

Gao Feng didn't expect Gu Cun to be so knowledgeable, so he couldn't help but take a high look. Judging from Gu Cun's suggestions, he had thoroughly understood his position and was not even averse to using the remnants of the newly formed third regiment to adapt to this thing. toxicity.

"Why let others try it? Aren't you already ready? Eat him..."

Gao Feng picked it lightly with his fingers, and this weird plant flew in front of Gu Cun. When Gu Cun heard this, he was stunned. He didn't check for a moment, and was hit in the face by the plant. The plant slipped from his face with a snap. It fell to the ground. At this time, several people behind Gu Cun wanted to step forward angrily, but were suppressed in place by the killing intent erupted by the Jia Luo.

Gao Feng looked at Gu Cun with a mocking look on his lips. Others also looked at Gu Cun, waiting for his next move. Gu Cun's expression kept changing, sometimes angry, sometimes desperate. For a while, he suddenly raised his head and stared into Gao Feng's eyes. , his eyes were full of questions, but Gao Feng didn't explain anything, he just watched his next move.

Finally, Gu Cun slowly squatted down, picked up the plant with a little sand on the ground, and slowly brought it to his mouth until he started chewing the lichen-like gelatinous plant. Gao Feng did not stop him, and waited for Gu Cun. After Cun swallowed something that was not sure whether it was bitter or astringent, Gao Feng nodded.

“Dig it up….”

After Gao Feng gave the order, the Garos began to use their abilities to dig deeper along the hole they had just dug. At this time, more plants were dug out. This plant grew on the cracked rocks, like a layer of long threads. There were quite a few on the stone wall. The Garos didn't know them before and didn't care about them. However, Gao Feng's perception could detect the toxicity of this thing. They didn't think much about it at first, but later they thought that his ability could actually extract poisons. , it just tastes bad.

The lichen plant Gu Cun ate was actually not poisonous. Gao Feng was deliberately testing it. If Gu Cun didn't eat it, he wouldn't say anything, but he wouldn't let Gu Cun continue to live. There is nothing wrong with cherishing life itself, but Gao Feng He didn't want Gu Cun to be disobedient, but he wanted to make Gu Cun understand that he could take his life at any time.

Gao Feng is used to treating his own people with sincerity, but when dealing with people like Gu Cun who have no choice but to rely on him, he needs to use both kindness and power. Letting Gu Cun eat unknown plants at the risk of poisoning is a threat. Waiting for Gu Cun to swallow with difficulty There was something with no taste in it, and when he felt like he was about to vomit, he was surprised to find that Gao Feng passed all the collected plants through his hands and handed them all to Jia Luo.

These Jialuo who got the food looked at Gu Cun sarcastically, and without hesitation stuffed the refined plants into their mouths and chewed them hard. Only then did he feel that something was wrong. If it was just to test the poison, why not wait? Eat later? Then he saw that after about sixty or seventy kilograms of plants were piled on the ground, Gao Feng asked people to stop digging and enjoy the unpalatable things together.

The Garos obviously don't like eating these very much. Fortunately, the children of the Maple Leaf family are used to living a hard life, and the roots of hardship and simplicity are still there. Gao Feng himself also eats them. The ten people consumed about half of this pile of unpalatable plants, etc. Gao Feng kept spitting out the residue in his mouth and waved his head to Gu Cun. Gu Cun understood that the rest was the ration for the third group.

Gao Feng didn't explain anything from beginning to end, and Gu Cun didn't ask any more questions. As for the remaining soldiers of the third regiment, they didn't resist. Many of them hadn't eaten for 24 hours. Because they were thirsty before, they could still do it for the time being. After enduring hunger and consuming a lot of energy, the whole person was exhausted from hunger and could eat whatever was given to them.

After all the food and drinks were taken care of, Gu Cun felt relieved. In any case, there was no need to worry about the Jia Luos eating the soldiers of the third regiment. Unintentionally, he began to feel awe of Gao Feng. This kind of psychology is not only that Gao Feng can find a way out in a desperate situation, but also that his life is being manipulated by Gao Feng and oppressed by the palm of his hand. When his life is in an unsafe situation, he will naturally and unnaturally be afraid of Gao Feng. This is certain.

In addition to Gu Cun, the remaining soldiers of the third regiment also felt this way, but they were afraid of the Jia Luo. The rumor that the Jia Luo wanted to eat them had long been spread to these people. Even the most elite soldiers, Hearing that he might be eaten at any time would also give him a terrifying fear, let alone the defeat of this group of remnants.

As the leader of the newly formed third regiment, Gu Cun has been bridging the relationship between the two sides. The reason is simple. This group of defeated soldiers has been regarded as sacrificial cannon fodder by the senior officials and cannot be allowed to live anymore. At the same time, it is also for his sake. Himself, because if the higher-ups knew that he was not dead, he would be the first to be killed, so intentionally or unintentionally, Gu Cun revealed the fact that they were being used as bait, and at the same time revealed some unheard news at the bottom, making this group of remnant soldiers surrender to the bereaved dogs. Metamorphosis.

Gao Feng has been watching Gu Cun's efforts, neither agreeing nor stopping him, just watching like an outsider. After a series of changes, Gao Feng has completely given up on taking everything into his hands. The underground people's calculations are certainly infuriating. But Gao Feng also understands that when the enemy and ourselves are unknown, no amount of anger will help. No one can tell what will happen next, and can only take one step at a time.

Gao Feng originally planned to spend a month after returning to the wilderness to integrate various resources in the wilderness, clear out various hidden dangers, and then develop military equipment. After having a certain ability to protect himself, he would then go find the Xuanye family. It's not that he identifies with the Xuan Ye family's identity, but that he can't worry about his children who are living abroad. In addition, he thinks he owes his uncle's favor, so he has to rescue the Xuan Ye family from its predicament no matter what.

In addition to this, there is also the Thunder Split family. New and old grudges are added together. Gao Feng has no reason to let go of the Lei Split family. After all, the real murderer who killed Black Claw is still alive and well. The increasingly powerful Gao Feng will not do it anyway. Let that guy go.

It's a pity that God is not as good as God, or Gao Feng believes too much in the integrity of the underground people, and he did not expect that such a fresh and delicate girl like Jasmine would be guilty of evil. Although Gao Feng has never seen Jasmine, through clues, he determined that this incident was related to Jasmine. There must be a relationship.

Digging the passage is no longer a problem, but Gao Feng has not yet figured out how to take the road after digging. Once bitten by a snake, he has been afraid of straw ropes for ten years. Gao Feng no longer believes in the underground people, whether it is Fang Shiyu or Shi Peng had a name in Gao Feng's heart. He didn't believe that this incident had nothing to do with these two people.

The more this happened, the angrier Feng Feng felt, wishing he could burn the dungeon with fire, but he also knew that anger would not help. The only way was to understand the cause and ins and outs of the matter. Unfortunately, Gu Cun didn't know much. , they don’t even know how Operation Bloodfall will unfold, let alone provide useful intelligence to Gao Feng.

In his reverie, Gu Cun cautiously walked to Gao Feng. In the malicious eyes of a bunch of Jia Luo, he said with difficulty:

"Mr. Gao, please take a look at some of the questions ahead..."

"What?"

Gao Feng raised his head in surprise, and all kinds of sadness surged in his heart. Couldn't God just let him go smoothly? He always created messy problems to torture him?

"We seem to have dug in the wrong direction and reached another passage..."

As he spoke, Gu Cun put the thing in his hand in front of Gao Feng. Gao Feng frowned slightly and saw that the thing in Gu Cun's hand was a withered arm.
