It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 359 Swamp

The tavern was bustling with activity. They thought they were celebrating something, but when Lu Po got off the car and asked around, he found out that a group of genetically infected people were about to go deep into the maze to carry out a mission, and the other people in the tavern were doing the final practice for these infected people.

Infected people are a very sensitive topic.

They also exist in China, but people don't often talk about it. The public seems to avoid it psychologically and pretend that this group doesn't exist in the world.

This group of people have been contaminated by the maze and their genes have been distorted. They cannot be cured by modern medicine, so they cannot return to society and can only wait to die in pain.

Feng Ling had seen many infected people in Heishan Town. She still remembered that snowflake-shaped ice crystals formed in the eyes of a little girl. It was beautiful, but cruel at the same time.

Feng Ling had no idea where the residents of Heishan Town were finally transferred to.

She had seen information about donations to Black Mountain Town on the Internet, but the popularity was short-lived and was soon overwhelmed by other hot events.

…………

Wang Xunmei and Zhang Lu drove the truck and stopped in a relatively open space in the town. They took out outdoor camping equipment, lit a fire, and boiled a pot of hot water.

The temperature here is more than ten degrees lower than that in China, and it gets a bit cool after nightfall.

Feng Ling came over to warm himself by the fire in a familiar manner.

Everyone was used to her presence and was busy with their own things, not paying too much attention to Feng Ling.

Not long after, Lu Boyi, Lin Pengpeng and Li Yu came back with a pile of goods.

Li Yu was very excited and couldn't wait to share with his companions: "The people here are so enthusiastic! After they knew we were sent by the foundation to help, they gave us new maps, insect repellent, walking sticks, and this, waterproof shoe covers! They didn't ask for a penny, they gave it all to us for free!"

Wang Xunmei smiled and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

Lu Poyi took out two cans of beef and a bag of dry bread and said, "The food supply in the camp is limited. Let's make do with this for one night and have a good meal when we get to Govi ​​City tomorrow."

"Oh, we also got a salmon pie." Li Yu opened the paper bag in his hand, revealing the pie. "In order to give food to the infected, the tavern owner made it specially. It's still hot. Let's share it. Salmon pie is a specialty here and you can't usually get it."

Wang Xunmei got up to get a knife and dishes.

The pie itself was not big, and it became even smaller after being cut into six pieces with a knife. Feng Ling also got a small piece of salmon pie.

She was stunned. She didn't expect that she would have a share. She didn't bother to be polite with these hunters and ate the pie in one bite.

The taste is weird, but not bad, and quite exotic.

Lin Pengpeng chewed the food in small sips and said softly, "I heard that there is such a custom in Lorias. If the children are about to go on a long journey, the mother at home will make a large portion of salmon pie for the children to eat, so that they can remember the taste of their hometown, so that when they are wandering outside, they will not lose their way home."

"We have similar customs in our country, such as having a good meal before beheading," Li Yu said quickly.

After he finished speaking, he felt a little choked in his throat and looked at his companions embarrassedly, "Did I... say something unlucky?"

Wang Xunmei smiled and said, "Pooh three times quickly."

Li Yu immediately turned his face away and said, "Ptah, ptah, ptah!" - When you accidentally say something unlucky, you can say "Ptah, ptah, ptah" to avoid the words from taking effect.

Perhaps because the pie was filled with profound meaning, everyone ate it very seriously, carefully savoring its flavor.

As soon as Lu Bo finished eating the pie, he said solemnly: "After arriving in Govi ​​City tomorrow, I will stay to inquire about the whereabouts of grandpa and grandma. I can't return with everyone. I say goodbye to you in advance."

He had signed up as a volunteer in order to find his missing relatives, and he had talked to everyone about this before, so no one was surprised when he said this.

Wang Xunmei asked him, "What are your plans after you find it?"

"We should try to bring them back to China... But it's probably difficult," Lupo sighed as he looked at the wall in the distance. "The spread of the labyrinth contamination is very serious, covering almost the entire border. Ordinary people will become infected if they get close to here."

"Speaking of which... this place is very close to the maze, why don't I see many people wearing protective clothing?" Zhang Lu looked around, "The soldiers I met on the way today were all wearing protective clothing, but no one in this town was wearing one. Could it be that they all hold cards?"

"I asked about this in the tavern just now." Lu Puyi explained, "Remember the mud we saw on the way here? There is a large swamp belt outside this town. The monsters in the maze seem to be afraid of the swamp and dare not approach it. So in a sense, the swamp has helped humans and blocked pollution."

Wang Xunmei asked: "Won't the swamp monster spread the pollution?"

"All creatures that come out of the maze will spread pollution, and the swamp monster will also spread pollution, but it erodes the land very slowly." Lu Puyi frowned slightly and continued, "In fact, the swamp also protects the monsters in the maze. It is precisely because of this swamp that Lorias has difficulty launching a large-scale clearing operation in the maze. The creatures in the maze continue to multiply and change, and their numbers are increasing..."

"This situation is really difficult to deal with!" Li Yu couldn't help but worry about Lorias, "Unless we can fly in, there's no way to kill the monsters inside!"

Lupo nodded. "We did take such action, but there were Silin birds in the maze. The plane ran into danger soon after entering the maze. The pilot and the hunter were forced to jump out of the plane, and no one came back alive. After that, Lorias was very cautious every time he took action."

Hunters are a valuable resource for a country. If one dies, there is one less, and the power to resist alien species and contaminants will also be weakened.

Feng Ling had been listening to their conversation quietly, and after hearing this, she really couldn't hold it in any longer.

Because she wanted to enter the maze, she also faced the problem of crossing the swamp.

"Didn't you just say that a group of infected people were going to enter the maze to carry out a mission? If they want to enter the maze, they have to go through the swamp, right?" Feng Ling asked Lu Boyi, "How are those infected people going to get in?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Feng Ling.

Lu Bo looked at Feng Ling hesitantly, "This... I didn't ask..."

"Then go ask," Feng Ling said, "You can speak the language here, so help me find out. Otherwise, once you leave tomorrow, I won't know who to ask."

Lu Boyi didn't answer, his face showed surprise and a bit of confusion.

After digesting the hidden information in Feng Ling's words, Lin Pengpeng frowned and asked her, "Do you want to enter the maze?"

"Yes~" Feng Ling nodded, looking very calm.

Li Yu's eyes widened, and he immediately asked, "Why do you want to go into the maze?"

"It's hard to say." Feng Ling shook his head, his expression calm as he concealed the truth.
