There was a lot of moisture in the forest in the early morning. The dew that had accumulated for an entire day was like a clear and transparent crystal. It flowed along the wide leaves and dripped down continuously. Walking in it felt like it was raining.
Luo Yuan wiped the water off his face. His clothes were soaked and stuck to his body, which made him very uncomfortable. However, Wang Shishi, Huang Jiahui and the others who were next to him were very excited as they walked forward.
Among them, the mutated human was the most active. When she arrived here, she felt as if she had returned to her old nest. She was so excited that she couldn't control herself. From time to time, she would climb up a big tree, run and jump on top of it. Occasionally, she would be attracted by the abnormal movements in the forest and run over to see what was happening.
As a complete ecological chain, there were naturally many wild animals here, but most of them were harmless small and medium-sized herbivores. Of course, there were carnivores, but they were just ordinary beasts. To the mutated humans, they were not a threat.
As she ran wildly, she was in a mess along the way. Her clothes were covered in mud and dirty, but she still enjoyed it.
The mutated woman had changed a lot in the past few years. The scales on her body were so thin that they could barely be seen. Her blue skin had turned into the color of flesh, and she looked more like a human. If one did not look closely, they would not be able to see any difference between her and a human. To some extent, this was the result of living creatures adapting to the environment. It was a special camouflage.
"There's too much dew here!" Luo Yuan said, ready to disperse the dew in the forest.
Wang Shishi seemed to have sensed it and quickly stopped him, "Brother Luo, don't move. We're experiencing life and thinking about happiness!"
He suddenly stopped and looked around. The dark environment, the towering trees, the canopy like a green net, the whole forest was full of vitality. Other than the fact that there were no dangerous mutated beasts, it was like the scene after the apocalypse on Earth.
"This place is just like Earth!" Luo Yuan sighed and gave up on the idea.
The other women felt the same way and looked at Luo Yuan with mixed feelings.
Since a year ago, Luo Yuan had lowered himself. Although he looked no different from before, in fact, it was difficult to return to the way he used to be. How could they not be affected when they saw Luo Yuan's terrifying "real body"?
In addition to that, he had become colder and more distant. Although he was much better than before, the changes were obvious compared to before. Moreover, he had become dispensable towards women and was no longer passionate about them. He was simply like a completely different person.
Other than Wang Shishi and the mutated woman, the rest of them were in awe of Luo Yuan. Their relationship had always been in a semi-cold state.
However, at this moment, the few of them looked at the apocalyptic Earth and thought of the tough times when they were migrating. If Luo Yuan had not used his own strength to support a safe shelter in the cruel apocalypse, they would not have been able to stay here and complain about everything.
Thinking of this, they could not help but feel gentle.
Naturally, this was not the real world, but a virtual world. Ever since the establishment of the Space City, with the continuous development of quantum computing technology, the construction of the virtual world did not stop. Instead, it became more detailed and realistic.
Currently, the land area of the entire virtual world had expanded by 100,000 square kilometers, which was equivalent to the area of the Jiangnan Province. The outer space area had expanded to a range of 100 million kilometers, and there were also crudely constructed suns, moons, and stars.
It was hard to tell what was real and what was fake. It was as if they were back on Earth.
In fact, the virtual world was so real that it was not much different from the real world.
Due to various reasons, Luo Yuan was only able to interact with them in the virtual world. It was a rare opportunity for him to go on an outing.
Half an hour later, the group of people climbed up the mountain.
Below them was a dense forest and there was a flat stone platform at the top of the mountain. This was the result of the virtual world's design. From there, they could see the city in the distance.
"We're finally here!" Zhao Yali patted her chest and panted. Her smooth and delicate skin was covered with sweat. Climbing the mountain for a few hours was a strenuous task for a normal body in the virtual world.
She looked at Luo Yuan and realized that he was not sweating at all. His breathing was even as if he had not done any strenuous exercise.
One had to know that the body in the virtual world was of the same attribute and could not be adjusted.
"Little … Little Yuan, why aren't you sweating?" She hesitated and called him by his old name.
"My ability to control my body is incomparable to yours," Luo Yuan said. Even though the amount of Will he put into the virtual world was insignificant compared to the total amount, it was easy for him to control all the muscles in his body.
However, as soon as he said that, he realized that she did not want to know the reason and was just trying to start a conversation. He immediately smiled and said, "Sister Yali, you're exhausted. Take a rest."
"Where's Luo Lan?" Huang Jiahui asked.
Luo Lan was the name of the mutated human. She took after Luo Yuan's surname. Her intelligence was not low and she already had a name. When the women gave her a name, Luo Yuan had not entered the fourth dimension for the second time. It was easy to imagine that taking after the surname Luo was a warning that something dirty might happen.
"She's still at the back. She's running around and doesn't listen to me." Wang Shishi complained.
Speaking of which, Wang Shishi was not young anymore. Although she still looked like a young married woman in her twenties because of the energy crystals she had consumed, she was actually close to forty years old, and her temperament was still like that of a heartless little girl.
As they were talking, they saw the mutated human jumping out of the bushes. She looked panicked and ran all the way while hissing. She was followed by a group of hornets.
As soon as she saw Luo Yuan, she ran straight towards him as if she was bullied. In her heart, Luo Yuan was the strongest.
They found it funny and Luo Yuan could not help but smile even though he already knew what would happen.
Luo Yuan waved his hand, and the hornets that were chasing after him suddenly disappeared, as if they had never appeared in the first place.
Along with the commotion, the stiff and unnatural atmosphere suddenly became more harmonious.
The group of people gathered at the side and looked at the magnificent scenery of the mountain peak while chatting and laughing. Luo Yuan occasionally joined in but he did not say much. He was more like a bystander than a participant. The difference in the level of life brought about a difference in the realm of consciousness. He could no longer blend in with the atmosphere. Their topics did not arouse his interest. He preferred to sit at the side and quietly watch and enjoy everything.
