Apocalypse: I pick up trash in a survival game

Chapter 409: Departure to Longhu Wetland Park, Speculations about the body after death
Others also wanted to go with Suning, such as Zhao Fuqing, but were directly rejected.

Zhao Fuqing stood on the edge of Cloud Island, looking at the dark sky in the distance, his heart filled with resentment and loss.

His fingers were tightly clenched on the corner of his clothes, and there was a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.

He knew it was dangerous outside, but he was not afraid.

"Why can't we go together?" Zhao Fuqing's voice was filled with a hint of grievance and unwillingness.

His eyes moved back and forth between Suning and Zhang Li, trying to find a hint of relaxation in their expressions.

Su Ning sighed, walked forward and gently patted Zhao Fuqing on the shoulder, his tone gentle but firm: "Xiaoqing, the outside world is too dangerous now, and we don't know what dangers there are in the darkness. Yun Island is our shelter, and it is safest for you to stay here."

Zhang Li also stepped forward and gently rubbed Zhao Fuqing's hair, with a soothing look in her eyes: "Yes, Xiaoqing, you are still young. We will take you with us after we survive the polar night disaster."

Zhao Fuqing lowered his head and clenched his fists tighter.

He knew that Suning and Zhang Li were doing this for his own good, but he couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart.

He raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination: "I understand... But I will definitely become stronger! You must promise me that you will take me with you next time!"

Zhang Li smiled and nodded gently: "I understand, little adult."

Huang Zhenggang and Lin Lele stood aside. Although they did not speak, their expressions also showed their attitudes.

They also disagreed with Zhao Fuqing taking the risk.

Huang Zhenggang walked forward, patted Zhao Fuqing on the shoulder, and said in a steady tone: "Xiaoqing, Yun Island also needs someone to protect it. If you stay here, Yun Island also needs your protection."

Zhao Fuqing did not argue any more, but just nodded silently.

He knew that his current ability was not enough, but he would never give up.

He secretly made up his mind to become stronger, strong enough to protect himself and those around him.

Before leaving, Huang Zhenggang walked up to Suning and said seriously, "Suning, I will do my best to protect Yundao. You must be careful outside and take care of yourselves."

Suning nodded and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Brother Huang, we will be careful."

However, before leaving, Su Ning also had a conversation with Ye Yunwu, and gave Ye Yunwu the few surviving magic mushroom clouds that she had obtained and had not been transformed into zombies.

The zombie-like magic mushroom cloud in Suning's scavenger backpack is not suitable for guarding Yun Island, so taming it by Ye Yunwu can enhance the safety of Yun Island.

Ye Yunwu was surprised to see such a strange creature as the magic mushroom cloud.

"Sister Suning, don't worry, I will definitely protect Yun Island."

After finishing all this, Suning turned around and walked towards the gathering place with Jiang Nana.

Jiang Nana walked beside Suning, looking a little serious, and asked in a low voice: "Suning, do you think we can succeed this time?"

Suning did not answer immediately, but just looked up at the dark sky in the distance, with a complicated look in his eyes.

After a moment, he whispered: "No matter what the result is, we have to give it a try"

Jiang Nana nodded and said nothing more.

Suning and Zhang Li rode on the broiler chickens and slowly flew behind Jiang Nana.

Although the broiler chicken is large in size and moves steadily, it is obviously not as fast as Jiang Nana's mount.

Suning's eyes were involuntarily attracted to the creature Jiang Nana was riding.

It was a huge white crane with feathers as white as snow. Its body was elegant and agile, and its long neck was slightly bent, making it look particularly noble.

Suning narrowed his eyes and looked at the white crane carefully.

The scavenger's eye is open.

[Mutated Creature: White Crane Monster]

Talent: Powerful wings——capable of creating huge wind and waves, easily overturning surrounding obstacles.

Skill: Wind Blade - When the wings are flapped, sharp wind blades are released to cut the enemy.

Due to the polar night, it was pitch black all around. Several people wore mining lamps on their heads, and the lights drew faint beams of light in the darkness.

When Suning was observing the white crane monster, Jiang Nana also noticed her gaze, turned around with a smug smile on her lips.

"How is it? My mount is pretty good, isn't it?" Jiang Nana patted the white crane monster's neck, with a bit of boasting in her tone, "When I saw your broiler chicken, I thought I must get a flying mount. This way it will be much more convenient to travel to your Cloud Island, and I don't have to go around in circles anymore."

Zhang Li looked up at the white crane monster and nodded in praise, "It's really good, very beautiful."

The White Crane Monster is indeed very graceful. Not only is it huge in size, but it also flies with a light posture, as if it is not bound by gravity.

Its back is spacious and flat, and it can obviously carry more than one person to fly.

Suning also nodded in agreement.
However, Suning's performance caused dissatisfaction among Rourouji Rourou.

Although the intelligent Rourou cannot speak, its eyes are full of emotions.

It stared at the white crane monster with its round eyes, as if expressing its dissatisfaction.

The white crane monster seemed to sense Rourou's gaze, turned around, tilted his head, and showed a puzzled expression: "?"

Su Ning noticed Rourou's mood and couldn't help but smile. He reached out and gently patted Rourou's head, whispering to comfort her: "Rourou, don't be angry, you are great too."

Rourou didn't buy it, and continued to stare at the white crane monster, her eyes full of disdain and provocation, as if to say: "Is it so great that you're beautiful? Can it lay eggs? Humph, a mount that can't lay eggs is not a good mount!"

Although the white crane monster is beautiful, it is obviously not as smart as Rourou. It obviously can't understand the language of Rourou's eyes. It still tilts its head with a confused look on its face: "?"

Jiang Nana couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene: "It seems that your broiler chicken is a little jealous."

Suning shook his head helplessly and responded with a smile: "Rourou is just like that, a little temperamental, but it is an important partner of our Cloud Island. Not only is it fast, it can also lay eggs, and its practicality is no worse than your white crane monster."

When Rourou heard Su Ning's praise, she felt a little satisfied. She raised her head and made a low cooing sound, as if declaring her status.

Jiang Nana smiled and said nothing more. She just patted the white crane monster's neck gently, signaling it to move on.

The white crane monster spread its huge wings and flapped them gently, creating a breeze. It then took off into the air and flew forward.

Suning and Zhang Li looked at each other, and also increased the speed of the broiler chickens, following closely behind.

In the darkness, the figures of several people appeared particularly eye-catching under the illumination of the mining lamp, and Rourou still glared at the white crane monster from time to time, as if she was silently competing with him.

Soon, the group arrived at the gathering place.

Suning's eyes swept over Jiang Nana's team, among which there were many familiar faces.

Tang Yuanbin, Gu Chengan, and Ji Fengyan were all in the team, but Tang Yuanbin and Ji Fengyan looked pale, and they seemed not in good spirits and looked a little tired.

Suning walked up and greeted them.

Tang Yuanbin forced a smile, nodded, his voice a little hoarse: "Yes, this mission is very important and we cannot be absent." Ji Fengyan just nodded slightly, without saying much, with a solemn look in his eyes.

Gu Chengan seemed more energetic, and greeted Su Ning with a smile, "Long time no see, it seems you are in good condition."

Su Ning nodded and was about to ask something else when Kou Dingshan's voice came from the side: "You are finally here."

Kou Dingshan is the person in charge of this operation.

He walked up to Su Ning, looked him up and down, and nodded: "It seems that you are fine, so I won't say anything extra. The goal of this mission is to explore Longhu Wetland Park and find out why the people around there and the players are not afraid of the virus brought by the virus disaster."

"Longhu Wetland Park?" Suning frowned slightly. He was not unfamiliar with the name.

Before the natural disaster, Longhu Wetland Park was a well-known national nature reserve, home to a variety of rare animals and plants, and had an extremely superior ecological environment.

However, due to the various horrific natural disasters that occurred before, the situation in Longhu Wetland Park may have undergone earth-shaking changes. Coupled with the previous mutation disaster, it is possible that some strange creatures may appear.

Kou Dingshan nodded and said in a heavy tone: "Yes, it is Longhu Wetland Park. Our destination this time is not close to us, and we may encounter many dangers on the way. You must be mentally prepared."

Suning nodded, thinking to himself.

Danger was certain, but he did not expect that the mission location this time would be Longhu Wetland Park.

The flora and fauna there are already diverse, and after the baptism of mutation, they have probably become even more dangerous and unpredictable.

Zhang Li stood beside Suning. After hearing what Kou Dingshan said, she couldn't help but frowned and whispered, "It seems that this trip is indeed a bit difficult."

Jiang Nana came over and patted Zhang Li on the shoulder, with a hint of comfort in her tone: "Don't worry too much, there are so many of us acting together and we can take care of each other, so there shouldn't be any big problems."

Suning looked at Jiang Nana, then at the other players around him, and felt a little more at ease.

This mission is not only to explore the secrets of Longhu Wetland Park, but also to find a way to fight against the virus disaster.

No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, they must persevere.

"Okay, everyone get ready, we'll set off right away." Kou Dingshan waved his hand, signaling everyone to gather.

Suning took a deep breath and adjusted his state.

Everyone headed towards Longhu Wetland Park.

Since Longhu Wetland Park is quite far away from Yun Island, it is impossible to reach it in a short time relying solely on mounts such as Broiler Chicken or White Crane Monster.

Therefore, Koudingshan had already prepared the means of transportation - several modified off-road vehicles with sturdy bodies and wide tires, capable of coping with complex terrain.

However, after the great earthquake, many roads have been damaged and the road conditions have become extremely bad.

The once flat road is now full of cracks and potholes, and some sections are even completely blocked by the debris of collapsed buildings.

The convoy had to take a detour or pass slowly, and its travel speed was greatly reduced.

The car was constantly bumpy along the way, and everyone in the car was shaken to and fro.

What's even more disturbing is that along the way they encountered a number of mutated creatures that died from viral disasters.

The corpses of these creatures were scattered on the roadside, their distorted shapes were chilling.

Due to the purifying effect of the Tianxiang Qiluo grass on Yun Island, and the fact that Huang Zhenggang cremated the Tanxiang piglets immediately after their death, no one has ever seen the true appearance of the creatures that died in the viral disaster.

The same measures were taken in Anxi City, where Jiang Nana's father lived, and no one had actually seen the bodies of people who had died of the virus long ago.

Facing these deadly creatures for the first time, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.

When Zhang Li saw the corpse of a deer-shaped creature on the side of the road, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and her face turned pale instantly.

The deer's body seemed to have been soaked in some chemical substance. Its skin was swollen and blackened, its limbs were twisted and deformed, its eyes were empty and lifeless, and its entire body was in a strangely distorted state.

"How could it become like this? Why are the bodies of these creatures as if they were deformed by foam?"

Zhang Li's voice trembled a little, her stomach churned, and the strong feeling of nausea made it almost impossible for her to look directly at the corpse.

Suning frowned and approached the corpse of the deer-shaped creature with a serious expression.

He walked forward and wanted to observe the condition of the corpse up close.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Suning approached, the corpse suddenly trembled. Although it was only for a moment, it was so fast that Suning thought he had seen it wrong.

Su Ning's pupils shrank. "Did the corpse move?"

Suning stood there blankly.

The others were confused as to why, because due to the darkness, no one noticed the slight floating of the body.

Although she knew that Suning had the ability to absorb toxins, facing this unknown virus, Jiang Nana couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful."

Suning nodded and reached out to gently touch the surface of the corpse.

As soon as her fingers touched, she felt a cold and sticky touch.

Suning quickly withdrew his hand and frowned even more tightly.

"The bodies of these creatures have been completely eroded by the virus," Suning whispered, "Their cell structures are completely destroyed, and the concentration of toxins in their bodies is extremely high. If it weren't for their talents, they would probably be affected by this virus."

The others were also surprised when they heard it.

In order to guard against the virus that is hard to prevent, Kou Dingshan placed a pot of Tianxiang Qiluo grass in the car to prevent the virus.

"So, the bodies of people who died from the virus will also become new sources of virus infection."

Suning nodded.

Tang Yuanbin, Gu Chengan and others were scattered around, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment to prevent sudden attacks from other mutant creatures.

Suning began to use the scavenging poison to absorb a trace of the virus in order to obtain more information about the virus.

"Suning, have you found anything?" Gu Cheng'an asked in a low voice, holding the weapon tightly in his hand and looking around.

Suning stood up, dusted off his hands, and said seriously, "These viruses are more dangerous than we thought. Not only do they corrode the bodies of living things, they also change their structures and may even make dead things 'active' again."

Zhang Li's face turned even paler when she heard this: "You mean... these dead creatures might be resurrected? Like zombies?"

Suning nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, of course it's just my guess"

Ji Fengyan walked over and said, "I will tell Pei Xuanan this information and ask him to warn everyone on the communication channel to pay more attention to the bodies that died from the virus."

"Um"

Suning took a deep breath and said, "Let's go. Be careful. We may encounter more corpses like this on the road."

The convoy started again and slowly moved towards Longhu Wetland Park.
