Chapter Twenty-Four: Crisis in the Jungle

  He didn't know how long he had rested, but somehow Tang Tian felt very hungry, and only then did he wake up from his drowsy state.

  All the zombies that were lost in this long distance were killed by Tang Tian, otherwise where would there be such a leisurely time to rest.

  Wake up the little policeman who fell asleep next to him, Tang Tian took out some things he had collected in the cafeteria, and used the large space in front of the big truck to take out coal gas tanks, pots and pans, and made a not very delicious meal.

  After eating, Tang Tian put everything back into the storage ring and then took Zhang Yu to a Stone Village that even Tang Tian didn't know existed or not. Anyway, Tang Tian had been in university here for almost three years and hadn't heard of any Stone Village.

  Tang Tian's ability to "pull out" many things at any time and place has surprised Zhang Yu, but the world has changed, and it's not unacceptable for some strange phenomena to appear.

  But seeing Tang Tian's indifferent attitude towards himself, Zhang Yu didn't ask anything else.

  "Now where should we go?" At a fork in the road, Tang Tian asked Zhang Yu who was following behind him with his head down.

  After dinner, Tang Tian and the two of them walked along the main road for more than half an hour. Along the way, they encountered more than a dozen low-level zombies. Tang Tian cut off their limbs one by one and asked Zhang Yu to kill the zombies to upgrade her level. Unexpectedly, this girl didn't dare to do it at all, and under duress, she finally fainted.

  Tang Tian was so angry that he almost lost her, and was so depressed that he couldn't take it. With this kind of courage, how can you be a police officer? If you see a hijacker, won't you be scared to tears?!

  Helpless, Tang Tian didn't insist anymore. He brought himself to the place and let her do whatever she wanted. Tang Tian was also helpless.

  Zhang Yu also felt quite embarrassed, but the zombies were really terrifying, how could they bring themselves to do it! He also knew he didn't have the guts, so he walked with his head down all the way. After hearing Tang Tian's question, he finally looked up and glanced around, pointing to the left, meaning to go that way, and he didn't dare speak up.

  Tang Tian shrugged indifferently and led the way to the left.

  From the three-forked road, walking left for about 700-800 meters, to get to Qianwan Shi Jia Village, you must take a small path. However, all species in the world have grown wildly overnight, so where is the original small path? The only way is to trek through the dense forest!

  Facing the jungle with unknown crises, Tang Tian immediately furrowed his brow.

  But thinking that at this time, apart from going to Shijiazhuang, there really was no place to go, Tang Tian still gritted his teeth and took Zhang Yu into the jungle.

  You must first have a stable rear to rest and settle yourself before you can make plans for yourself.

  Actually, Tang Tian had a better way, which was to wander around alone, but first, this world didn't have any safe places, and Tang Tian's heart also rejected such drifting days, after all, everyone wanted a stable little nest.

  Walking into the jungle, there is no way to set foot, all the space is covered by grass that is as tall as a person, and vines and thorns are everywhere. The tall trees have almost completely blocked out the sunlight from above, making the already very dangerous jungle appear even more terrifying and eerie.

  "Ah! Tang Tian, save me!"

  Tang Tian was carefully leading the way in front, but suddenly heard a sharp cry from Zhang Yu behind him. He was startled and thought to himself that this woman was determined to get herself killed, and wondered how many hidden beasts would be attracted by her scream.

  With a swift turn around, Tang Tian saw Zhang Yu's legs being entwined by a vine and dragged deep into the thicket.

  "Xiao Ying, just her," Tang Tian ordered the ghostly assassin who had been hiding around him all along.

  Having received Tang Tian's order, the ghost assassin appeared silently behind Zhang Yu, just like a real ghost. With a swift swing of his sharp dagger, he instantly cut off the vines that bound her legs.

  At this time, Tang Tian also rushed over, grabbed Zhang Yu and ran away, without caring about any direction.

  Just after Zhang Yu's scream, Tang Tian discovered several dangerous auras approaching, he had to leave quickly, or else if he was late and encountered the ferocious variant beast, he would not be able to escape.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

  Tang Tian had just grabbed Zhang Yu and taken a few steps when dozens of vines suddenly shot out from the thicket, heading straight for the two of them.

  Tang Tian knew that once he was entwined by these vines, it would be dangerous. He immediately took out his long knife and, with one hand holding Zhang Yu, the other hand vigorously swung the knife to slash at the vines rolling towards him.

  Fortunately, these vines were not very tough, and Tang Tian didn't need to exert much force to cut them off. With his long knife swinging to protect himself, he cut off dozens of vines before disappearing into the thicket.

  Tang Tian left soon after, and those vines automatically retreated, disappearing into who-knows-where.

  The vines had just disappeared, and a huge snake as thick as a water bucket and fifty meters long appeared here. Where its body passed, the tall grass was pressed out of the way, creating a path that was over a man's height.

  The snake slithered around in two circles, spat out its tongue and slowly left.

  Suddenly, several terrifying mutated creatures appeared here. Two-story-high wild boars, 10 to 20 meters long centipedes, 7 or 8 meters high, and more than 10 meters long wolves walked around here, took a turn, and left respectively.

  If Tang Tian had lingered here for a moment and encountered these terrifying mutated creatures, the consequences would be disastrous.

  Tang Tian and Zhang Yu ran all the way through the jungle, which was not easy either. They were in a pitiful state, with the sharp wild grass tearing their clothes into strips.

  Occasionally, he had to face branches covered with thorns that suddenly stretched towards him. There was also a tree with fruit on it. As soon as the wind blew or the grass moved, the tree would throw its fruit in the direction of the movement. When the fruit hit any object, it would explode and shoot out countless thorns. Tang Tian was hit by two such fruits, and the pain from the dozen or so thorns that pierced his body was unbearable.

  Fortunately, although these plants have mutated to be quite aggressive, their attack power is not very high. Tang Tian was deliberately escaping and did not suffer much injury, but eating a bit of bitter fruit was inevitable.

  But if these plants were to purify for a period of time, it's unknown what they would become.

  Arriving under a large tree, Tang Tian saw that there was no immediate danger around him and stopped to look at himself. He couldn't help but smile wryly as he realized his clothes had been torn to shreds, but fortunately, the new protective suit he wore underneath remained intact.

  Tang Tian immediately turned around and glared at Zhang Yu, saying: "I told you not to drag me down with you if you want to die. You know the forest is full of dangers, but all you do is shout loudly, sooner or later you'll get us killed."

  Zhang Yu also knew he had made a mistake, and immediately lowered his head weakly and said: "I'm afraid".

  "You...", Tang Tian was so angry that he couldn't speak, after calming down, he said: "In the future, when encountering such a situation, don't shout loudly again. If you're in danger, I'll know and think of ways to save you. If this happens again, I'll leave you alone in the forest, and you can fend for yourself."

  Tang Tian finished speaking and sat down on one side, suddenly jumping up with a grin.

  He had a back full of small sharp thorns and his buttocks too, so when he sat down hard the thorns pierced into his flesh and it hurt so much that he jumped up.

  Those thorns are too fine, and behind him, Tang Tian himself can't pull them out. He simply turns around with his back to Zhang Yu and says: "Help me pull out all the thorns on my back, it's so uncomfortable".

  "What...?" Zhang Yu said with wide eyes.

  "Who are you?"

  "Oh..."

  Under Tang Tian's wide-eyed stare, Zhang Yu immediately softened and obediently helped Tang Tian pull out the sharp thorn from his back.
