Chapter 4773: The Last 20 Kilometers

"how do you feel?"

Song Jinmin walked over and asked.

"It's a bit difficult to deal with, but we have seen something similar to this on Mount Ailao before, but its strength and speed cannot be compared with what we see in front of us."

"I remember you said that the strange creatures on Mount Ailao seemed to have become like that because humans were exposed to radiation."

Lin Yi nodded. "The research institute has confirmed this. The current situation should be similar, but the radiation in the no-man's land is stronger. People who accidentally enter here will become like this, and they will become the last batch of defenders."

"If that's the case, it's understandable that these monsters can have such a high level. Everyone who can come here is a rare master. After being affected by the radiation, their own level has been greatly improved, so that only when you reach your level can you barely kill them." Ning Che said.

Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement, but at this time, Song Jinmin spoke.

"But here lies the problem. They must have been exposed to radiation and ended up like this. There is no doubt that they are all treasure hunters on the island. The place they can set foot on may be the edge of the no-man's land. Even if the distance they can go deep into is limited, why are they all concentrated 20 kilometers away from the no-man's land after being exposed to radiation?"

Song Jinmin's speech also caused others to think, which seemed to be unreasonable.

"It is very likely that they were under some kind of mental control, or the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, which made them gather at a distance of 20 kilometers," said Moon.

No one can give a definitive answer to the current situation, but this statement is the most consistent with the actual situation.

"It's meaningless to think about this now. We have to hurry up and keep moving forward. We might find a lot of useful things here. We can't let Mammon and Anglo get there first."

After Lin Jingzhan finished speaking, everyone began to organize their equipment and continued to advance deeper.

In addition to guarding against giant creatures, you also have to defend against two other teams, so you must be very careful when you act.

In this way, half a month passed and everyone successfully advanced to 30 kilometers.

At this time, even Poker showed fatigue on his face and could not be careless at all.

Some people were even injured in the process, but with Lin Yi here, as long as their arms or legs were not broken, there would be no problem and they just needed to rest for a while.

The last thirty kilometers was when it came to a bayonet fight, and Lin Yi's expression was very serious.

Only Song Jinmin was very irritable. Because he couldn't smoke, he became more and more irritable, as if his fighting power had been increased to a higher level.

After resting for a day and a night, everyone continued their movement. Another month passed and they successfully advanced to 20 kilometers.

Fortunately, all the dangers encountered along the way were resolved safely.

The people who benefited the most were naturally the people from the Zhongwei Brigade.

Combined with the new way of exerting force, everyone's strength has been greatly improved.

But faced with such a horrible environment, everyone felt the pressure.

To them, the second half of the journey on the island was like the woods in the park, and the dangers there were not really dangerous at all.

After arriving here, the land is no longer bare but a dense rainforest. It is very difficult to find a good route.

Even if you stand on the periphery, you can see the creatures inside staring at you with eager eyes.

"Now we have reached the most difficult section of the road. Everyone must listen to my instructions."

Lin Jingzhan called out and led everyone to change direction, planning to take a detour.

Everyone became cautious and moved sideways about two kilometers.

It seems relatively safe here. At least there are no dangerous creatures in sight.

And there seems to be another way to go under your feet. It is not difficult to guess that the poker people entered from here.

"Rest for an hour, then we'll set off again."

Everyone rested and ate in silence.

Lin Yi was not idle, but came to the edge of the woods, holding the new weapon in his hand, and took a few tentative steps inside.

As soon as you come in, you can smell the blood and stench, as if this forest was made of blood.

After taking a dozen tentative steps, Lin Yi suddenly stopped.

He saw a huge bug appearing in front of him.

It is about half a meter long, with four tentacles on its head and wings on its body. The teeth on its huge mouthparts are intertwined, like a meat grinder, which makes people shudder.

Just looking at the appearance, Lin Yi felt that it looked very much like an ant.

But outside the no-man's land, ants grow to a maximum of a dozen centimeters, and their appearance is not so terrifying. But when you reach the last 20 kilometers of the no-man's land, it seems that all creatures have become different.

At this time, Song Jinmin quietly appeared behind Lin Yi.

"Keep your voice down, let's back out."

“I still want to try its level.”

"If you do it, other bugs might attack you. These things are omnivorous animals, without any intelligence, and they eat their own kind. They are the lowest-level creatures in the forest and are also food for other animals, so there are a lot of them. Unless it is necessary, stay away from them."

Song Jinmin pulled Lin Yi and retreated from the woods.

"How did you deal with these things when you came here?"

"We will deliberately avoid them. As long as we move forward about one kilometer, we will no longer see these things. After repairing, we will quickly pass the first kilometer ahead. This will avoid a lot of trouble."

"But there should be more powerful creatures later."

"That depends on luck. The creatures living there have a strong sense of territory. As long as we are careful and don't get too close to their territory, the danger will be much less."

"According to what you said, as long as we avoid the territories of all creatures, we can advance relatively safely."

"You must be dreaming. There is no such a good thing."

Song Jinmin said:

"Some large creatures have a keen sense of smell and taste. Once you step into their territory, you will be discovered immediately. We have no other options. We can't escape if we want to. We can either kill them or be killed by them. There are only these two options."

“This is more of a matter of luck than buying a lottery ticket.”

"Otherwise, no one would have recommended it here," Song Jinmin said.

"With the strength of Mammon and Anglo, it is no problem to advance to this point, but whether they can continue to advance is hard to say, because luck plays a big role."
