On March 16, 24th year of Datong, north latitude 29.352765, the southern end of the Shuzhou Plain, Han'an City.

Once the green belts on both sides of the road, the sidewalks and the open space in the atrium of the community are now covered by forests that cover the sky.

Even the strongest light at noon cannot shine into the once busy streets under the trees.

The sewers on both sides of the street have been blocked because of their age.

The accumulated water spreads from the sewer to the road surface. The long-decaying leaves on the road have turned the bottom of the city's forest into a paradise for insects, amphibians and reptiles.

The remaining trash cans on the roadside have long been rusted and the area is covered with dirty rain.

A giant mosquito as thick as a baby's fingers buzzed and shook its long wings, wrapped around a vine with the red words "Qianhui Supermarket" printed on it. Under the sign that had already drooped the corners, it flew over arrogantly.

When the giant mosquito flew past the trash can, a long pink tongue suddenly flashed out of the garbage cover next to it, sticking the giant mosquito and shooting backwards.

The buzz disappeared.

On the garbage cover, a monster as big as a human head supported its body, revealing a belly that was different from the green paint and rust color of the garbage can, swallowing the prey I just harvested with satisfaction.

But it was a strange toad with fleshy nails on its back and two webbed meats on its back.

The toad seemed to notice something before he could swallow the wings of the giant mosquito, and climbed two steps and quietly slid into the trash can next to him filled with rain.

At the corner of the end of the street, a strange silver saucer flew out, swirled around quickly, then turned in a direction and flew along the street.

After a while, a mutant beast as huge as a lion on the grassland before the disaster appeared on the street corner where the drone had just appeared.

The mutant beast looked like a mastiff, with thick limbs, drooping huge ears, mottled black and white, and a pair of armor made of dark red reptile scales. It stood firm at the corner of the street and looked at the street vigilantly.

On the back of the body armor, a silver-white flat metal machine is inlaid with a small depression on the top of the machine, which is the lifting platform of the drone just now.

In addition to this equipment, two large bags of animal skins are hung on both sides of the mastiff's body.

The appearance of the mutant beasts made the surrounding insects and frogs disappear instantly, and the streets became silent like death.

Behind the mastiff, there was a sound of footsteps flowing from water, and the sound was slow and cautious.

After a while, another strange figure turned out from behind the mastiff.

But it's a person.

The drone flew back, paused in front of each person and a dog, and then slowly flew towards the direction just now.

The man gently patted the mastiff's butt: "Duyuan, keep up."

The big dog named Tangyuan obediently followed the drone and marched along the dim street.

The young man followed the mutant dog named Tangyuan, a distance away, raised his right hand and held the long wooden handle exposed behind his right shoulder.

This is a young man dressed in a very strange way. He has a pair of ordinary combat boots under his feet. On the boots are loose working pants, and his thighs and calves are wrapped in scales of the same material as the glutinous rice balls.

The leather on the upper and lower parts is separated, and a bone is tied to the front of the knee, which looks like a turtle-like armor.

The upper body is also a thick work suit, with a piece of scale armor nailed on the outside, and the upper arms and forearms are also wrapped in leather armor like the big and small legs. The shoulders and elbows are also protected by tortoise shells.

The leather armor has a standing collar, which also protects the young man's neck.

Overall, the young man looks like an ancient warrior, but he is wearing a helmet similar to the style of a motorcycle knight in the Carbon Energy Age.

However, this helmet is much more advanced and compact, and is part of the final batch of Panoramic Company's products - the full-action perception ecological cabin.

But now this helmet has obviously been modified into a tactical information helmet by young people. Panoramic Company's shell design standards for ecological cabin helmets cannot meet the strength requirements of young people, so it is covered with mottled traces.

In the young people's vision, there are not only the surrounding scenes, but also countless information projected on the helmet goggles after being processed by the Peace Three-type server on the back of the Tangyuan.

Walking through this street, the young man finally had no water under his feet, revealing the old urban reinforced road surface.

There was finally a circle of open space in front where you could see the sky. Although the surrounding tree canopy extended with all its strength, it could not completely cover up the huge open space.

Aside the young man, there is a road sign lying down, and on one of the arrows, the handwriting of "Labor Square" can also be seen.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief: "AI, look for camping."

The drone shook lightly above the young man and the dog and flew towards the sky.

"It's still emotional simulation..." The young man looked at the drone flying out of the gap in the tree canopy and stroked the head of the mastiff beside him: "Actually, AI is a good kid, right, dumplings?"

Tangyuan whined twice, lowered her head and rubbed the young man's thigh.

Soon, a map outlined by lines appeared in the young man's field of vision, and there was a small yellow dot and a small red dot flashing.

A little boy's voice sounded: "Han'an City is low in the south and high in the north, and the Labor Square in the southern suburbs of the city is at the junction of drought and flood, and the possibility of encountering mammals is increasing."

"It's seventeen:25 now, and there are thirty-five minutes before the sunset touches the horizon. It is recommended to arrive in the safe area within twenty minutes."

"After investigation, the firefighting floor on the 32nd floor of Huarong Shopping Mall on the west side of the square is the best camping site. Given that there are undead people on the bottom of the mall, please pay attention to safety when entering."

“The best route has been planned and it is recommended to enter from the garage entrance and arrive at the campsite along the emergency passage.”

"Can the dumplings be raised?" Tang Ning asked.

"Please don't repeat this embarrassing question again and again. The same mistake will only be made once by AI."

"You admit you are an AI."

"Tangning, you have thirty-four minutes."

"You've also learned to change the subject."

The little boy's voice disappeared again. On the map in Tangning's vision, a green line lit up between the red dots and the yellow dots, and an arrow flashed at the starting point, as if it was an impatient urging.

Tang Ning smiled slightly, followed the arrow's instructions, and walked towards the west side of the square with Tangyuan.

The golden sunset shone in from the huge tree holes above the square, wrapping up Tang Ning and Tangyuan, landing on the water behind them, and reflecting into the deep street.

The dark and gloomy street just now seemed to have lit up warm lights.

Unfortunately, although there are still shops on both sides of the temporarily bright street, there are only two long figures, one big and one small, on the street.

The underground garage of Huarong Shopping Mall is dark, but the full-sensing helmet has automatic light filling function, so in Tangning's field of view, the garage is as bright as a lighter green light.

There was a movement in a car, and two gray-faced, thin and as thin as ghosts suddenly sat up inside.

They were so excited that they "awakened" by Tang Ning's appearance that they struggled violently in the car, grinning through the window, scratching the reinforced glass window in vain, trying to attack Tang Ning.

Tang Ning glanced at the car and saw a woman in the back seat and a man in the front seat.

The shoulders of the men's clothes were torn, and the places that were once soaked in blood had long been moldy and decayed. Now, after struggling again, the entire left body of the men's immortal body was exposed, revealing the gray-white skin wrapped in half-dried strips of muscles.

The woman was trapped in the seat belt around her waist, while the man climbed up from the seat, supported the front window with both hands, stared at Tang Ning with his terrifying pale eyes, and kept screaming from hissing.

However, the sound insulation effect of the car window is very good and the sound cannot be transmitted.

This should be a couple. After his wife was infected, the husband tried to take her to escape from the place, but he was attacked by his mutant wife in the car.

Close the car window, sealing himself and his wife in the car, waiting for mutation to come, is the last nobleness of this husband.

Tangning did not "treat" the pair of undead people, and there was no indication on the goggles, indicating that the drone gave them zero risk assessment.

Turning to the door of the emergency passage next to the elevator in the underground garage, Tang Ning pulled out the weapon on his back, and it turned out to be a bone knife that emitted faint fluorescent light.

The door is locked here, and with a knife, the iron lock is easily cut open like a watermelon.

Tangning followed the fire passage and led by drones, headed by the drone.

Tangyuan was very resistant to this "channel" that could not be turned away. He no longer rushed forward. Instead, he waited for Tang Ning to finish a staircase first and reached the corner before he quickly crossed this section, and then waited for Tang Ning to go to the next turning point.

There were also a few undead people hidden in the passage, but none of them mutated. The information in the goggles and the little boy's voice had been reported to Tang Ning long ago.

The bone knife flew without a blade, but seemed extremely sharp.

The sword technique is also extremely accurate. Every time Tang Ning attacks, he can always accurately cut between the upper and lower jaws of the immortal, chopping off most of the undead heads.

There is no scene where blood splashes, the undead muscles seem to shrink and the blood vessels almost condense.

Their bodies are still wet and fresh, only their brain stems and spine, but their strength and speed are far stronger than ordinary people.

After clearing all the way, when Tang Ning and Tangyuan arrived at the fire floor on the 32nd floor of the building, they happened to catch the bright sunset in the sky.

...

Looking out from the 32nd floor of Huarong Building, the tall canopy of giant forest trees have flooded all the ruins and streets of the entire city below twenty floors.

They are like a whole low green cloud, extending in all directions, endless.

Only those tall buildings that are as tall as dozens or hundreds of floors can pierce the blockade of dense branches and leaves, revealing their dilapidated figure above the green clouds.

The remaining glass windows on the top floor reflect the soft light of colorful clouds in the sky under the sunset, stubbornly declaring the glorious human civilization that once existed here.

The red sunset gradually disappeared below the horizon, and the forests in the distance gradually began to become noisy.

Between the two clouds of red and green, countless flocks of birds began to gather in the sky.

They circled over the city, gathered and scattered, and finally threw themselves into the tall ruins.

The ruins of tall buildings that stand out above the forest, where humans once lived and worked, have now become the safest nests for wild birds.

The changes in the temperature in the evening make the air begin to flow and gradually turn into a breeze.

The low roar and strange sounds from the forests in the southern suburbs of the city were sent into Tangning's ears by the breeze.

Various creatures and non-organisms lurking in the forest during the day gradually became active from south to north.

The colorful clouds in the sky gradually became more purple and became thicker.

Relying on the cement pillars on the fire floor on the 32nd floor of the ruins of Huarong Commercial Building, through the helmet and goggles, Tang Ning admired the magnificent natural picture between heaven and earth.
