The three of them prepared their own equipment and began to enter the first area outside the wall, the Exiled Forest.
The name Exiled Forest was not given randomly. When humans had just occupied the fourth ring and there were not enough resources, there was no death penalty, only exile.
This forest was the only fixed area outside the wall. It was the only area that would not change with the rotation of the ring.
Every Exiled Forest had to pass through here to reach the outside of the wall, so it was called the Exiled Forest.
If an Exiled Forest could return alive and bring back useful information, then their punishment would be reduced or even pardoned.
There were many criminals in the Wasteland Alliance, so this was considered an incentive policy. This policy was only stopped by the Alliance Constitution more than 50 years ago.
However, the name Exiled Forest had been passed down.
Lü Luo walked in front, Bambusa Chinensis followed behind, and Gu Fangyi, the sniper, was in the middle.
Lü Luo did not use the Blade of Resentment to open the way. The repair cost of this excellent weapon was too high, and he could not afford it.
Fortunately, he had prepared a thick hatchet. Although it was cheap, it was still sturdy. As for the wear and tear of his equipment, he did not care at all because he had the Fused.
"Sharpen."
[One energy point has been used to modify the hatchet: Hatchet – Sharpen.]
Lü Luo went deeper into the forest while cutting down the complicated plants in front of him.
This process was very boring and tedious. Moreover, the outside of the wall was not as interesting as described in biographies and novels. There were treasures everywhere.
Lü Luo also did not encounter a situation where he could find a spirit herb every three steps and a dark spirit stone every five steps.
As the only fixed area, the Exiled Forest had been explored by countless people. It was too difficult to find treasures here.
Lü Luo's Constitution had reached 10 points, and with the suggested effect, his defense was amazing.
Even so, the furry leaves, the thorny branches, and the mosquito bites kept disturbing Lv Luo's mind.
It made his skin itch and hurt.
Of course, this was also related to Lü Luo's speed. Although it was only a small team of three, he was very fast, at least twice as fast as a normal team.
With his extremely high physique, he had no intention of conserving his energy. He tried his best to cut up all the plants in front of him to make enough space for Gu Fangyi.
After all, Gu Fangyi's physical fitness was much worse than his.
Just like that, Lü Luo and the other two walked for nearly an hour in the forest with almost no sense of direction, relying on the Observer to provide them with accurate directions.
At this moment, the Observer finally sent a reminder.
[The fruit of the largest fruit tree in front is unknown, but there is a 98% chance that the fresh mushrooms on the tree are Flash Mushrooms.
According to the description in the potion manual, the price of this herb is about 2900 yuan per catty. It's considered a valuable herb.]
There really were herbs? Moreover, it was quite expensive. This kind of good luck surprised Lü Luo.
"There are some Shining Mushrooms over there. I'll go pick them."
Lü Luo's sudden words made the Bambusa Chinensis even more surprised.
In such a complicated environment, Lü Luo, who was opening the way, not only had to be on guard, but he also had to clear the plants and explore the way.
Not to mention, their marching speed was twice as fast as a normal team. Even so, Lü Luo still had time to observe the surroundings. Collect herbs? How did he do it?
"Then be careful."
"Got it."
Lü Luo used a plastic bag to put the Shining Mushrooms into his bag. There were a total of three mushrooms, which was about half a catty.
Such a small bag was worth 4000 yuan, which made the already bored Lü Luo immediately excited.
Outside the wall was a sack to pick up money. This sentence was really true. Lü Luo was starting to believe it.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the Observer gave him an urgent reminder.
[There's a snake on the tree. It's a rank 1 Green Scaled Snake. It's not powerful, but it's highly venomous. Quickly dodge.]
Two streams of venom shot out from the Green Scaled Snake's mouth like two water arrows. The venom splattered on the leaves and immediately made a sizzling sound.
Fortunately, Lü Luo dodged. This kind of close range venom spray was really dangerous.
Bang bang bang!
Lü Luo raised his gun and shot, but the Green Scaled Snake had already used the dense bushes to hide in the depths of the forest.
Lü Luo put away his gun. He had no intention of chasing. The environment here was not suitable for that.
"The forest has been explored so many times, but it's still dangerous."
Lü Luo knew the reason why the Exiled Forest was still so dense that there was no path.
The dark energy here was too dense. The plants grew too fast and there were no natural enemies. Even if they were damaged on a large scale, they could grow back in a few days.
This thick layer of the Exiled Forest was probably the first layer of isolation outside the wall.
"Lü Luo, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Let's continue."
They did not stop moving forward because of this episode. The three of them once again set foot on the forest road.
…
Pushing aside the last patch of trees, a group of buildings that did not match the style of the wall appeared in front of the three of them.
Other than the introduction in the books, Gu Fangyi and Bambusa Chinensis had no impression of this style of building.
Only Lü Luo stared at this area. He was slightly lost in thought. This was because this place was very similar to his previous life.
"This place is really ancient!"
This area looked like a third to fourth tier city. There were tall buildings, but not many. The other buildings were mostly six to seven stories high. They were very close together.
There was a road. The green belt on both sides of the road had already grown some mutated plants. Some stretched on the ground, while others wrapped around the tall buildings.
Some of these buildings were already dilapidated. Some were entangled by vines, but some were still intact.
Fei Fei Supermarket, Guanghui Bank, and other words appeared on the doors of these buildings. It was very old.
"This area of buildings was not marked in the Hunter's Handbook. Could it be that the ring has changed to a new area?"
Gu Fangyi held the Hunter's Handbook and carefully compared the areas that appeared in the handbook.
As everyone knew, the world outside the wasteland wall was constantly rotating. Every year, the outside of the wall would rotate at least once, but sometimes it would suddenly rotate without warning.
Although it was rotating, these areas would not be arranged in a regular pattern like a kaleidoscope or a circular plate.
The areas that appeared every time were random. The Fourth Ring had four areas in the north, south, east, and west. Each area corresponded to three areas outside the wall.
In other words, 27 areas would appear outside the wall every year.
Humans had occupied the Fourth Ring for 140 years. Currently, a total of 97 areas outside the wall had been discovered in the Fourth Ring. They were divided into five levels.
Among them, there were four S-level areas, nineteen A-level areas, twenty-five B-level areas, thirty-seven C-level areas, and twelve D-level areas.
The classification of the areas was also very simple. D-level was a safe area where no Lord-level mutants above grade 5 were found. Of course, it was just that no grade 5 mutants had been found.
C-level was where no mutants above grade 6 were found. B-level was where no mutants above grade 7 were found. A-level was where no mutants above grade 8 were found. S-level was where a mutant above grade 8 was found.
These were all the explorations of the outside world in the past 140 years.
It was different from history, where the Church and the Parliament took down the Fourth Ring in just sixty years.
Outside the Fourth Ring, because the fifth wall had not been discovered, it was still uncertain if the exploration of the fifth area had dragged humans into a quagmire.
Every time a mutant tide broke out, a large number of ordinary people in the Fourth Ring would die.
It had been 140 years, and humans had not even explored all the areas outside the wall. Not to mention, there were still powerful creatures like grade 8 mutants that humans had no way of dealing with.
Hearing Gu Fangyi's words, Bambusa Chinensis's expression turned serious. The unknown was likely to be dangerous.
"If it is a new area, it is indeed a bit bad."
Lü Luo did not make any conclusions. After he carefully examined the surrounding environment, the Observer gave him accurate information.
[After investigation, an adventurer's handbook once recorded this building, so this area is a known area.
Preliminary analysis shows that this area is area C-13. The highest known mutants that have appeared are the grade 5 Mother-Son Water Lemon and the Poisonous Blood Crow.
Although this area is not deep into the area outside the wall, there is still a small probability of dangerous mutants. Host, please remain vigilant.]
