I made myself the protagonist

According to the markings in the manual, the location where Ling Yun and others were teleported happened to be near Tunnel 19, and the nearest shelter to them was only two kilometers away.

Ling Yun speculated that this should be a safe place specially built by the military to facilitate the adjustment of various investigation teams.

At this time, the temperature in the forest was about 26 or 7 degrees Celsius. Due to the heavy humidity in the forest, the moss underfoot was extremely slippery. In addition, there were almost ubiquitous red poisonous mushrooms and the presence of unknown creatures deep in the forest.

Howling, everyone had to slow down to avoid making too much noise.

Although it is still daytime, it is completely dark in areas with dense trees. Without the help of lighting equipment, it is impossible to see the road ahead clearly.

"According to the records in the manual, it is currently known that there are dozens of extremely dangerous mutant creatures in the forest, including villagers and savages who mutated after being infected by poisonous bacteria. Judging from our current situation, no matter what kind we encounter,

It will be very difficult.”

Su Li checked the equipment in his backpack. Although everyone now has an engineer shovel, it is far from enough to deal with the creatures in the manual.

"What are these things..." Zhao Sicheng briefly flipped through the manual, and his expression became more solemn: "Since there are monsters and ghosts running rampant in this forest, it's no wonder those troops didn't come out. Everyone would suffer.

I can’t stand it.”

"We have to find a way to get some weapons, such as guns or something." Wei Chongming said. Of all the people now, he is naturally the one who suffers the most. He who has always kept weapons close to his body has been deprived of his abilities this time, and he has been exposed to such a situation.

A place full of monsters, just listening to Su Li's description made him scratch his head and head with anxiety.

"Chongming is right, we need guns to deal with those mutated beasts and savages." Hubert also agreed: "According to intelligence clues, the day after entering the forest, the Macek team met with the local savages.

A conflict occurred. Military security personnel shot and killed the savages and mutant creatures, and compiled the information."

"Since the military has intervened in the forest many times over the years, those who have not returned...should have left a lot of weapons in the forest." Tang Yao said cautiously: "If we can find their bodies, maybe we can

Picked up something useful."

There seemed to be some kind of special magnetic field in the forest, which directly affected the use of the compass. Fortunately, there were marks on the surrounding trees left by the vanguard after exploration. Following these instructions, everyone quickly arrived at the first place before dark.

Shelter.

However, the shelter in front of them was much simpler than they thought before. Everyone thought it was a safe house specially built by the army, but in fact, the so-called shelter was indeed the house where the dead villagers lived.

There is a chimney on the roof, and the surrounding walls and windows are tattered and covered with cobwebs. Compared to the forest outside and the elusive monsters, this hut is like a small boat in the ocean, which can be overturned by strong winds and waves at any time.

turn.

The area of ​​the wooden house is about seventy or eighty square meters. After walking into the house, everyone discovered that the military had carried out a simple "renovation" here: the ground of the house was covered with black lines that were winding and twisted like centipedes, and the surrounding

It was filled with dusty glass bottles and jars, and the ground was covered with mildew.

Everyone walked around the house and found that there were three rooms in total.

What surprised Ling Yun was that he didn't have much hope for this place, but he didn't expect that the house was equipped with a generator and two lamps. In addition, there were many available supplies, such as gasoline, matches, and metal.

wait.

Under Su Li's command, Zhao Sicheng turned on the generator and powered on the house. Soon, there was a hissing sound from the desk lamp on the table in the room, and the light bulb dimly lit up, although the dim light was not enough to illuminate the entire room.

The room is small, but it is much more convenient than before when everyone used flashlights.

At this moment, Ling Yun's attention was attracted by an inconspicuous gas stove in the corner of the living room: the stove under the stove was connected to many metal pipes of different thicknesses. These pipes were spread throughout the room and looked a bit like old-fashioned radiators. In the wooden house

The furniture has been preserved, and in many places you can still see the daily belongings left by the previous owner.

Only this gas furnace looks so out of place. Judging from the external light, it is a device specially modified and installed here by the military.

Ling Yun looked through the manual, and there was a key note in it: You are not allowed to stay in the forest in the evening, and you must find a shelter as soon as possible.

After entering the shelter, you need to turn on the gas stove and let it burn all night. The "protective substances" emitted by the gas stove can resist the invasion of [those things]. As long as you stay in the shelter, your chance of survival in the dark night will be reduced.

can be greatly improved.

But even so, you still can't relax your vigilance. Remember: you can't fall asleep before dawn.

At dusk, the temperature in the forest also dropped a lot. Everyone didn't wear much, and they were shivering from the cold. Ling Yun turned on the gas furnace according to the instructions in the manual, and as the steam rose, soon, there was a warm and pleasant feeling.

The smell filled the whole house.

"This is better, but it's not enough." Zhao Sicheng rubbed his nose, looked at the broken walls and windows around him, and couldn't help complaining: "Let's make some repairs. Even if we can't stop the monster, it's still a good thing.

It can block some wind."

On the other side, Ren Yao carefully observed a certain damaged wall and said, "These walls and glass were not damaged naturally, but were damaged during fighting. It looks like some kind of wild beast."

Not only that, he also noticed the black dirt remaining on the floor and some walls, and those things were all dried blood.

"So the shelter is not absolutely safe. The manual only says that staying here can increase the survival rate. But if we don't enter the shelter at night, we will definitely die. Obviously, this gas furnace is the key to saving lives." Hubert

After walking around the gas stove, I couldn't help but look outside the house: "I'm very curious about what kind of substance is burned here. And what will this forest look like after nightfall?"

"There is only one thing I care about now." Zhao Sicheng rubbed his belly, his expression looking very sad: "What are we eating these days? The mushrooms in the forest are poisonous, and the meat of those mutated creatures cannot be eaten. We cannot chew it.

Bark grass roots, right?”

In front of the lamp table, Su Li was still studying the manual carefully. Since he was about to face an attack from the outside at night, Shen Tinglan decided to lead others to reinforce the surroundings of the room.

Hubert and Wei Chongming moved the wardrobe and wooden bed near the damaged wall of the room; while Shen Tinglan found some tools and planned to seal the windows with wooden boards.

However, at this moment, Zhao Sicheng suddenly discovered that two pheasants appeared in the open space not far from the wooden house. According to the manual, there were indeed some uninfected edible creatures in the forest.

"Our dinner is here!" Zhao Sicheng lowered his voice and said to everyone.

"I'm the best at catching chickens. When I was a kid in the countryside, I used to help my grandma catch these guys." Xiaolong volunteered to stand up.

The two hit it off immediately, quietly opened the door, and walked out of the wooden house with their backs bent.

The forest at dusk is quiet and eerie, the wind whistles coldly, and from time to time you can hear the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The two pheasants were wandering near the open space, pecking at the grass on the ground, not sensing the approach of Xiaolong and Zhao Sicheng behind them.

The setting sun gradually disappeared, and the light in the forest gradually dimmed. Suddenly, a ray of light emerged from the night sky and was reflected in the pupil of a crow on the tree.

The crow suddenly let out a hoarse and obscure cry, flapped its wings and flew away from the tree.

As if he sensed something, Ling Yun raised his head, and was surprised to find that the dark clouds slowly retreated from the sky, revealing the moon bit by bit. However, this did not mean that the moon could be seen when the clouds opened. The moon hanging in the sky actually glowed with light.

The blood is a weird red color.

"No, Fatty, Xiaolong, come back quickly!"

Ling Yun's sudden shout frightened the two pheasants into running away, and they got into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Zhao Sicheng was about to blame the other party for alarming the prey, but then, he suddenly noticed an unusual noise coming from the dark forest in front of him.

Accompanied by the sound of flapping pheasant wings, under the strange scarlet moonlight, a mass of bloody and terrifying creatures suddenly emerged from the forest!
