Chapter 1: Lime soil ecology

Compared with the time when the "Old Tune Group" came back from Qifeng Town, the scenery on the wilderness was even more bleak, as if it had entered early winter from late autumn overnight.
　　 "Is it about to snow?" Long Yuehong looked at the lead-colored sky outside the window, guessing expectantly.
　　 He has only seen snow scenes in textbooks and slides.
　　 "At this time in previous years, it was almost time to snow." Jiang Baimian answered casually while driving.
　　 Bai Chen in the passenger position glanced at the rearview mirror and said:
　　 "In the north of the swamp, it may have snowed for several times."
　　 The northernmost part of the Black Marsh Wilderness is connected to the ice field, which is a cold world.
　　 However, because of the large area of ​​the black marsh wilderness, the weather in the area south of the marsh is not so extreme, and it belongs to the type with four distinct seasons.
　　 "I really want to see what is called "White Mangman"." Long Yuehong retracted his gaze and said with emotion.
　　Shang Jianyao, who was sitting upright, responded immediately:
　　 "This is not auspicious words."
　　 "Why?" Although Long Yuehong knew that Shang Jian Yao could not vomit ivory, she couldn't help asking.
　　He is very sensitive to topics such as auspiciousness, bad luck, and fate.
　　 Shang Jian Yao laughed:
　　 "Think about it, when everything on the earth is covered by Blizzard, only a piece of white is left, is that auspicious?"
　　 "Also..." Long Yuehong had to admit that Shang Jianyao's words were somewhat reasonable.
　　 Listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Baimian added:
　　 "Every winter, I don't know how many wilderness wanderers are frozen to death. Snow is a disaster for them, right, Bai Chen?"
　　 "Yeah." Bai Chen pulled the gray scarf around his neck, "Many houses in the settlements are in disrepair for a long time, and the snow is easy to collapse. Many people don't have enough clothes, let alone warm."
　　Long Yuehong heard a moment of silence, and sighed after a long time:
　　 "The company is better."
　　 In any case, employees can have winter clothes and real hot water bottles.
　　 The level is higher, the energy ration is a little more, and the heater can be turned on for an hour or two from time to time-if it can be snapped up, or it can be traded.
　　 Speaking of "Pangu Creatures", Long Yuehong suddenly thought of something and asked in fear:
　　 "Team leader, you said, if our mission plan is really seen by someone hidden in the ‘Life Sacrifice’ cult and leaked out, will the cultists on the surface ambush us in Shuiwei Town?"
　　 The route can be changed, but the destination cannot be changed!
　　 "In the face of this situation, we can first send bait to test." Before Jiang Baimian answered, Shang Jianyao's smile had become bright.
　　 He patted Long Yuehong on the shoulder and said:
　　 "This glorious task is left to you."
　　 "Why me?" Although Long Yuehong didn't want to admit it, she still knew that the weakest person in the group was herself, and she really couldn't bear the responsibility of being a bait.
　　 On the one hand, it was really dangerous. He was scared. On the other hand, he felt that his mental quality had not reached the level of the group leader and Bai Chen, so he could easily mess up the task of bait.
Long Yuehong divides the psychological quality of the members of the "old tune group" into four levels. He himself is the lowest fourth level. The first level above is Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen, both in the second level. See Yao is the only one.
　　 Shang Jian Yao "seriously" explained:
　　 "Because you look at it as bait."
　　 "..." Long Yuehong couldn't sort out the logic inside for a while.
　　 "Don't scare him!" At this moment, Jiang Baimian, who was driving, smiled and scolded Shang Jian Yao.
　　 She turned to Long Yuehong and said:
　　"I’ll just ask you a question:
　　 "Do people in the company know where Shuiwei Town is?"
　　 "I don't know." Long Yuehong first replied subconsciously, and then suddenly realized. "So..."
　　 Only then did he remember that Shuiwei Town could be destroyed from the old world and continue to the present relatively securely. One of the most important reasons is that the location is hidden and outsiders are hard to find.
　　 When Jiang Baimian reported this incident, he consciously concealed the specific situation of Shuiwei Town, and only said that he encountered their hunting team in the wilderness.
　　 After trying to understand, Long Yuehong was quite ashamed:
　　 "I actually forgot this."
"You are mainly easy to panic whenever you encounter a situation that may bring danger. In the future, remember to calm down and think about it." Jiang Baimian first taught, and then reassured, "But, you can think of'life sacrifice 'The fact that outside members of the cult ambushed us at the intended destination is quite good for you who have only come to the surface for the second time.'
　　 Long Yuehong, who was praised, immediately increased her confidence.
　　 He changed his mind and said excitedly:
　　 "So, the possible danger is not in Shuiwei Town, but in Weed City?"
　　 The two intended destinations of the "Old Tune Group" are Shuiwei Town and Yecao City.
Compared with Shuiwei Town, Yecao City is considered to be a more famous city among the three powers of "Pangu Creatures", "First City" and "White Knights". It is well known by many relic hunters and wilderness wanderers. The problem is not.
　　 Jiang Baimian hasn't spoken yet, Shang Jianyao is already equally excited to Long Yuehong:
　　 "This is in good condition, keep it!"
　　 In good shape... Wait, why should I be excited? What a serious and dangerous thing! Suddenly Long Yuehong wanted to raise her hand and pat her face.
"Why are you so excited?" Jiang Baimian scolded Shang Jianyao again, and then said to Long Yuehong, "It's not bad, it's good to be able to react so quickly. On the next road, we have to think about it. Why don’t you enter the Yecao City without exposing yourself? How can you determine whether there is a problem with the company’s intelligence personnel there? Ha ha, don’t worry, get early, and deal with Shuiwei Town’s affairs first."
　　 "Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong responded loudly.
　　 He felt that he was slowly transforming into a reliable team member.
　　 After the jeep drove for a while, Bai Chen looked outside for a long time, frowning and saying:
　　 "There are many traces of animal migration."
　　 Hearing her words, Long Yuehong realized that in the grayish and yellowish wilderness, there are many footprints squeezed in one place, as if stepping out of a road connecting north and south.
"This year's climate is not normal. Many monster groups are migrating. Animals should be similar." Jiang Baimian recalled the news and news he had read and heard, and his expression seemed quite touching. For those of you, this winter is sad."
　　 As soon as she finished speaking, a group of strange birds flew in the air.
　　 They are much larger than crows, their bodies are covered with black feathers, their skulls are exposed, and they are stained with filth.
　　 The flock of birds flew lower and lower, and soon fell into the swamp not far away.
　　 In the process, they didn't make a sound, it was as quiet as non-existent.
　　 Bai Chen saw this scene, and said with a slight sigh:
　　 "Tell the dead bird...
　　 "There seems to be a lot of dead bodies over there."
　　 "Tell the dead bird? Is this a kind of crow?" Long Yuehong asked curiously.
　　 He remembers it was mentioned in the textbook that in many places in the old world, crows were regarded as ominous things, calling them dead birds.
　　Bai Chen retracted his gaze and explained in detail:
　　 "This is an aberrant creature, we all call it the dead bird or the bone crow.
　　 "They only eat dead bodies. Where they gather, there must be death."
　　 Jiang Baimian, who was driving, nodded gently and added two sentences:
　　"This kind of aberrant crow is amazing. With its skull exposed, it can still live very well.
"They are not aggressive towards living creatures, but if you encounter them, be careful. They can stick out a tube from their mouth, which resembles a fly, and spit out digestive juice from it. This digestive juice is dangerous and can melt corpses very quickly. Juicy, convenient for bone crows to eat.
　　 "Since this kind of digestive juice can melt dead bodies, then I think that if it gets on the living people, the effect should not be bad."
　　 Long Yuehong thought about the next scene, and suddenly hissed.
　　 "Then the problem is here." Shang Jianyao said enthusiastically, "How is the meat of this crow? What does it taste like when grilled?"
　　 Jiang Baimian glared at this guy sideways:
　　 "This crow itself has been deformed, plus the characteristics of the food and living environment, I don't know how many toxins and germs it carries."
　　 After she finished speaking, Bai Chen suddenly said:
　　 "The meat is very good."
　　 Jiang Baimian grasped the steering wheel with one hand and touched his ear with the other:
"You have eaten?"
"Well, it was a winter like now, and there was not enough food. Compared to humans, I think eating white-bone crows is more acceptable..." Bai Chen said in a reminiscence tone, "The meat is surprisingly good, and their eggs are more It’s the best egg I have ever eaten..."
　　 Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong both raised their hands and wiped the corners of their lips.
　　 After doing this, Long Yuehong woke up and felt ashamed.
　　 Shang Jian Yao turned his head and said to him seriously:
　　 "I controlled you with'Reference Clown', so you made the same actions as me."
　　 "Really?" Long Yuehong was relieved and panicked.
　　 "Fake." Shang Jianyao answered with a smile.
　　 Jiang Baimian ignored the conversation between the two in the back seat~EbookFREE.me~ asked Bai Chen curiously:
　　 "Will it be poisoned or contracted?"
　　 "The poisoning may not be obvious, but it's okay." Bai Chen subconsciously glanced out the window, "but we were a dozen or twenty people at the time, almost half of them were sick and died, and their corpses fed more bone crows..."
　　 The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, with a bit of ridicule that she didn't know to whom.
　　 "On the dust, sometimes, the two evils can only be the lesser of the two evils." Jiang Baimian sighed sincerely.
　　 In such an exchange, a gray-green jeep drove across the wilderness. Before the sky was getting dark, he dived into the swamp and slew around to Shuiwei Town.
　　Because they already knew each other, had transactions, and belonged to trustworthy people, after Bai Chen came forward, the guards put them directly into the town and parked the vehicle in the old place-outside a wooden shed at the corner of the wall.
　　 Just as Jiang Baimian got out of the car, he saw an acquaintance.
　　 "Dogzi." She greeted with a smile.
　　 The nickname of Gouzi, a member of the town guard wearing a gray and fluttering windbreaker, suddenly turned red and muttered:
　　 "I, my name is Ding Ce..."
　　 Bai Chen didn't give the dog a chance to continue, so he asked directly:
　　 "Where is Mayor Tian?"
　　 Ding Ce's expression suddenly became sad:
　　"The mayor, the mayor is ill.
　　 "Quickly, it's going to die."
