At about 5: 30 pm that day, all the team members had returned to the square. At the same time, they brought back a large number of canvases, plastic sheets, wooden boards, aluminum alloy blocks, and metal strips. They were all piled high together. Chu Hao carefully selected some cloth, wood, and aluminum alloy blocks. He also collected them together and put them all into his space fragment.
"It's about time. Let's go to the edge of the city first, then find a huge tree to stay. It's too late today. We'll start making hot air balloons tomorrow. It's best to finish tomorrow, or at the latest, the day after tomorrow. Then, we'll go to New York."
After Chu Hao made the decision, he led the team to find a few cars that could still be driven. They drove directly out of the city.
They had basically figured out the location of the city. It was located in a city in Tennessee. There was still a long way to go from here to New York. They only had 30 days, so they really couldn't delay.
After driving for a short while, they reached the edge of the city. They had already arrived at the edge of the city. From here, the fields outside were already covered with green grass and trees. They could only vaguely see the highway. Even the grass on both sides of the highway had already grown to the road. The sense of desolation was even stronger for them.
At this moment, it was about six o 'clock. The sun was about to set, and the whole sky was fiery red. Soon, the sky would darken. From then on, the wilderness would be extremely dangerous. The team didn't know what Chu Hao had exchanged for. Except for a few people, the rest began to feel nervous. Aoqi even said directly, "Captain, do we have to travel through the night? But those zombies, no, I think they should be called mutants. Those mutants hunt at night. We might encounter them on the highway! "
"Of course we can't travel at night."
Chu Hao smiled faintly and found the thickest tree. After that, he closed his eyes silently in front of this tree. After an instant, he opened his eyes and began to make gestures. After that, he chanted an incantation. After that, a wooden door appeared on the trunk of this tree in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone watched as Chu Hao pulled open the door. What was behind the door wasn't a tree trunk. Instead, it was a room made of wood. There were even wooden chairs, tables, and beds. Even the floor was made of wood. There were even windows. It looked like a small wooden house that one would find in the countryside during a holiday.
Chu Hao walked directly into the wooden house. The rest of the team hesitated for a moment, then followed Chu Hao into the house. After entering, everyone realized that the room was not small. It was at least 50 square meters. Although it was only one room, it could easily accommodate all the members of Team Nordic. In fact, the trunk of the tree was definitely not more than 10 meters in diameter. The room was much bigger than the tree.
"After the door is closed, it looks like the trunk of a big tree from the outside. Even if you break the trunk, you won't be able to enter our room. To be more precise, this room should be a shrunken half-plane, without using special methods. Or a large amount of energy that breaks through the magic restrictions can't enter this space. Of course, the windows won't show from the outside. This tree is just a tree, so we are absolutely safe here. The only pity is that the size of the room is determined by the tree, and a tree smaller than the thickness of a door can't use this magic. It can only last for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the tree will wither and die. "
Although Chu Hao said this, he was very satisfied with this magic. Perhaps this magic had a lot of restrictions under the DND rules. For example, the druids in the DND rules would prevent the spread and use of this magic. If they wanted to use this magic, they would use force. Moreover, there were also the gods of the forest system that would prevent this magic from consuming the life of a tree of a certain age. Therefore, there were indeed restrictions under the DND rules.
But for the real world, this magic was extremely useful. It was a must-have for home travel, murder, and arson. Only a big tree was needed to have an almost absolutely safe house. There was no need to worry about the dangers in the wild. It could also be regarded as a kind of magic that could hide all signs. This kind of magic was simply too cost-effective. If one wanted to use technology or creation to achieve this, they would have to invest at least tens of thousands of Reward Points. But this magic only needed a tree.
The rest of the team was obviously very excited about such a wooden house. Not only was it safe, but it was also really free of the hardships of travel. In particular, the rookie girl was even more excited. She walked around the wooden house excitedly.
In addition, after the rookie girl returned to reality, she was clearly more spirited than before. Furthermore, she was able to talk and laugh. She was no longer as lifeless as before. At this moment, she was the most curious and active person in the wooden hut.
Since there was a safe place to stay, everyone was finally relieved. They immediately began to prepare dinner. Because of Chu Hao's space fragment, they didn't lack any ingredients. Although they didn't have a chef, many of the people present had cooking experience. They wouldn't eat any half-cooked food. Although the taste couldn't be guaranteed to be delicious, at least they could fill their stomachs, right? And they could fill their stomachs … For example, Xi Kong …
After dinner, everyone chatted with each other. Zhang Heng took out a deck of poker cards from somewhere and pulled Tom and Aoqi to play Fight the Landlord. But after a few rounds, the rookie girl Billis suddenly exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention. Billis suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "There, there's a fire!"
Everyone hurriedly got up and gathered in front of the window. Sure enough, looking out from the window, they could vaguely see a fire in the distance, but it wasn't obvious. From such a distance, it was just a tiny red dot. If it wasn't for the fact that this era didn't have the so-called pollution of light sources, it would be impossible to see such a tiny bit of light even in the wild if it was placed in the normal world.
Everyone saw the fire, and they all looked at Chu Hao at the same time. Chu Hao was silent for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "No, the distance is too far. Even if Xi Kong rushes there, it will take a long time. When we get there, we don't know if there will be anyone there. Also, it's too dangerous at night. When we open the door, the creatures outside can rush in. I can't joke about your lives, so I won't allow you to leave this house. At most, we can record the direction, and we will search it tomorrow. Moreover, those who can survive from the beginning of the apocalypse generally have a way to deal with these mutants. Maybe this fire is one of their methods. If we rush there, we might end up harming them.
Let's go. "The night was silent. The next day, when the sun came out, everyone left the treehouse. Outside the treehouse, the cars they drove yesterday were obviously rummaged and pushed, and there were many footprints on the ground. It was obvious that there were many mutants outside the treehouse yesterday. Suddenly, the rookie girl and Tom muttered that it was fortunate that they did not leave the treehouse yesterday. Otherwise, they would definitely have been hit and so on.
For these mutants, Chu Hao has already speculated. First, their metabolism is extremely fast, which can be seen from the movie plot, so it causes their body temperature to rise and they are very sensitive to cold. Second, because of the accelerated metabolism, their strength and speed are extremely high, and it is likely that at the same time, it causes the muscle strength and bone strength to increase. Almost every mutant is about ten times stronger than ordinary people.
These were the two characteristics that were directly reflected in the plot. Secondly, Chu Hao guessed that their sense of smell should be very sensitive. Otherwise, the protagonist would not spray disinfectant to remove the smell every time he returned. In the plot, the woman did not spray disinfectant at the end, which immediately led these mutants to find the room where the male protagonist was. Moreover, such a sense of smell would allow them to better hunt for prey.
That's right, the accelerated metabolism not only brings about the improvement of the physique, but also increases the consumption of food, and at the same time, should also reduce the lifespan. These mutants naturally can't grow anything, so they can only hunt various creatures, of course, they may also dig plant tubers and fruits, after all, they are also mutated from human, so they should still belong to the omnivorous category, because they are not real zombies, not those dead people.
Not to mention these, when everyone left the treehouse, Chu Hao immediately ordered Xi Kong to rush to the place where the fire came from last night. Xi Kong flew on her sword, and it only took about ten minutes to return from there, but the information she brought back made Chu Hao think for a while, because she found an overturned cargo truck there, there was a lot of food and various human supplies, such as paper, such as clothes, and even toothpaste, and the cargo truck had exploded, and it was a mess, and blood was found on the scene, but no corpses were found. In addition, according to Xi Kong, many traces of vehicles were found there, and to be able to leave traces, it means that at least a vehicle was driven by at least recently.
"In other words, there should be a human gathering place in the nearby mountains or plateaus?"
Chu Hao murmured with a little interest, and next to him, Zhang Heng immediately asked, "You seem to be very interested? Could it be that you intend to find a gathering place for the survivors? "
Chu Hao suddenly laughed, he smiled and said, "Yes, if we can find a human gathering place on the way, then why not? Right, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Heng, we are the last survivors of the human government's secret laboratory from Area 51 of the United States, how can we not find a human gathering place? "
"We are … the saviors of this world."
