Life Dungeon Game

He Ao did not return to the original spot, but instead followed the direction he came from and found a section of the road further ahead.

The place they left should now be littered with corpses, and even in the rain, the blood would attract some strange beasts with a keen sense of smell.

He Ao finally breathed a sigh of relief as the vehicle hit the road.

While strong winds and heavy rains make the roads more difficult to travel, they also restrict the movement of many animals, maintaining a relatively safe environment.

After changing her clothes, Aini had already fallen asleep leaning against her suitcase.

Everything that happened today was too stimulating for the little girl. Although she didn't say it, she was very tired.

The.

The hazy road revealed its shape in the rain.

He Ao raised the bracelet and glanced at the contents on it.

The bracelet had lost signal at that moment, and the last message He Ao received came from an unknown number.

I don't know about the C-level 'Shadow' talent sequence you mentioned. Finding a D-level recipe is already my limit. I'll ask my senior brothers for you, but don't get your hopes up too high. C-level secret medicine recipes are very rare and valuable.

He Ao turned off the bracelet.

The information came from Roger, a doctor he knew in Dawn City. When he called Roger, Roger, as usual, scolded him, but still shared the information.

"Dad! There's a town ahead! We can go get something to eat!"

Annie, who was sitting in the back row, woke up at some point. She excitedly poked her head out and pointed ahead.

The torrential rain had gradually subsided, and under the dim sky, the outlines of some buildings could be vaguely seen in the distance.

He Ao stared at the buildings and slammed on the brakes.

"Hey, Dad, why did you stop?"

Annie looked at her father with a puzzled expression.

He gazed at the hazy buildings ahead.

"It's so quiet."

The last chapter seems to have been posted yesterday, but anyway, there will be two updates today (I'm sure of it). Shamelessly asking for monthly votes.

It might be tomorrow afternoon; I need to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up tomorrow.

Chapter 436 Infected Items (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

He Ao pulled out a pair of binoculars from the glove compartment, opened the car door, and looked through the gradually clearing rain at the buildings shrouded in a light mist.

Figures could be vaguely seen passing by under the building, walking slowly in the thin mist.

He flipped a button on the telescope, activating its thermal imaging function, but what he got in return was a chaotic image.

Thermal imagers are affected by rain and dense fog, and are essentially rendered useless in such environments.

He turned off the thermal imaging function and sat back in the driver's seat.

Just then, a towel was placed over his head. "Dad, don't move."

Annie carefully dried He Ao's hair with a towel. "Your clothes are all wet. Do you want to change? I brought a set of your clothes."

This girl actually thought of her father while she was tidying up.

He Ao chuckled, closed the car door, and restarted the vehicle. "Hold on tight, we're about to charge."

"what?"

Before Aini could react, the SUV suddenly accelerated, and she stumbled and almost fell.

"You stinky old man."

The little girl quickly hugged the headrest in the passenger seat and pinched her father's shoulder, saying, "You're teasing me again!"

He Ao chuckled and put his foot on the accelerator. "Hold on tight."

Annie pouted and sat back down in her chair, clutching her pillow.

The moment she was seated, He Ao slammed on the gas.

The off-road vehicle sped along the road.

"Dad, isn't there a house up ahead? Why are you speeding up?"

Annie glanced at the hazy buildings ahead and asked with some confusion.

"This road should be abandoned soon."

He Ao didn't say anything, but instead closed all the car windows and accelerated to the maximum speed.

Driving at this speed in this weather is extremely dangerous.

But stopping would be even more dangerous.

As the vehicle drew closer to the 'town,' Annie noticed something amiss with the buildings.

Just as my father said, it's 'too quiet' here.

The entire town was in a strange, lifeless 'silence'.

No matter how bad the weather, when you get close to human dwellings, you can always hear some faint sounds and see traces of human creation.

This is the vitality that human settlements should have.

Upon arriving here, one's first impression will be, 'This place is inhabited.'

But this 'small town' in front of her didn't give Aini any of those feelings.

There were some damaged walls, empty sentry posts, and a gate that swayed in the wind with a sharp, grating creak.

All of this tells Aini that this place is 'nobody'.

But when she arrived, she vaguely saw figures walking around these buildings.

She shifted her gaze from the buildings beside the road to her surroundings, and then she saw what appeared to be some white spots on the road ahead through the light rain.

"Dad, there seems to be something on the road ahead," she said, leaning over the seat between the driver and passenger. "It looks like a white mushroom? Do mushrooms grow on the ground?"

She paused, swallowed hard, and said, "These mushrooms look delicious..."

She looked at He Ao, her eyes shining with unusual excitement, "Dad, shall we stop the car and pick some?"

"Do not move."

He Ao swallowed hard, looked away from the mushrooms, and slammed on the gas pedal, trying to keep himself from looking at them.

Why?

Aini looked a little lost. Her bright brown eyes seemed to be completely filled with the white mushroom. She reached out and pulled on He's arm that was gripping the steering wheel. "Dad, stop for a minute. I'm so hungry. I want to eat that mushroom."

The speeding vehicle swayed slightly.

He released his right hand, grabbed his daughter's hand abruptly, and shoved her into the back seat, shouting sternly, "Close your eyes! Practice the breathing technique I taught you!"

The loud shout brought Aini back to her senses. She bumped into the back seat and glanced at He Ao in confusion, but still obeyed He Ao's order and closed her eyes.

At the same time, she began to take deep breaths, absorbing the energy dissipating from the air.

Martial arts training cannot quickly improve Aini's mental resistance, but when she first starts practicing martial arts, she needs to be absolutely focused, which will allow Aini to concentrate her mind to resist the temptations in the dark.

One by one, dark shadows emerged from the rain.

Those are individual 'people'.

Their bodies were already cracked with countless fissures, revealing vaguely rotting flesh and pure white mushrooms emerging from the cracks.

As they moved, the mushrooms on their bodies fell to the ground one by one, emitting a strange, enticing aroma.

The fragrance was so strong that even with all the car windows closed, He Ao could still clearly smell it.

These 'people' can no longer be considered people; they are the mycelium that cultivates these mushrooms.

Their lives were long gone, their bodies manipulated by these mushrooms, searching for the next 'mushroom base'.

He suppressed the overwhelming hunger surging within him, gripped the steering wheel, and rammed forward without hesitation.

On the road ahead, shadowy figures slowly approached, blocking He Ao's path.

A deadly temptation permeated the air.

He stepped on the gas and crashed into the shadows blocking his way.

"Dad, I'm so hungry."

Annie opened her eyes.
