After an unknown amount of time, the isolation cabin finally stabilized. When he looked out through the small window, he saw that all around him were floating isolation cabins, crowded together. Someone had already opened the hatch and come out.

"How is it? Wake up?" He was worried when he saw Zheng Dong's confused look, and ruthlessly gave him two more injections to wake him up. "Wake up, we're entering the river."

Zheng Dong's condition still looked bad. Although he didn't die, his foundation was injured. He didn't dare to open the hatch, but quickly opened the air replacement system to exhaust the internal air and replenish the air bag.

"There are people, there are aliens!"

Suddenly, someone shouted outside. Yu Heng couldn't see the situation through the small window, so he opened the hatch and climbed up. He saw countless light arrays flashing on the shore, and aliens appeared one by one in the light array. He could even see the eyes of some of them.

It was full of malice, the eyes of an ant who had been trapped.

Yu Heng's heart beat violently, almost jumping out of his chest. This was the first time he felt the danger was so close in this mission world. He had never been so panicked when he brushed shoulders with a giant dog seven or eight meters high, or when he fought against countless rats.

He immediately closed the hatch and took out a big stone from the storage ring. The stone pressed down the isolation cabin. He stabilized his body and took out a rope to tie up the stone, and tied the other end to the isolation cabin. Finally, he pushed hard!

The stone fell into the water, pulling the isolation cabin down.

Next to him were other panicked survivors, many of whom also jumped into the water to escape. Yu Heng didn't care about anything else, and pulled the rope and swung his legs hard to follow the sinking. With the blessing of the stone, the isolation cabin sank very quickly. Feeling that he could not hold it anymore, he took out a set of swimming equipment and put it on, and took a deep breath of air.

Looking up, he could not see anything, and the vision was all black.

Yu Heng didn't know where to go. He had a hunch that the base was in danger this time. The outsiders were obviously well prepared, and the killing moves made him even more worried.

Is he angry? Impatient? Want to vent his anger and take revenge?

He remembered the big explosion he saw in Cuixu Park, and the Qihuangshan trapping plan that he and Jiang Shujun and others had painstakingly implemented long ago. Seeing that the ants were also starting to burn their feet, he was so angry that he wanted to pinch them to death?

But there is no reason in the world for a living person not to fight back or curse back! Why can the outsiders catch them, beat them and kill them! Can't they resist? It's wrong to resist or not to resist. Then who can tell him how a person should live?

Holding his breath, he pulled the isolation cabin to the middle of the river. The number of mutant giant fish outside the barbed wire began to increase. It seemed that they felt his presence and began to hit the barbed wire vigorously.

The wire mesh specially built at the exit of the base to prevent the survivors from leaving the isolation cabin and being swallowed by mutant fish became the biggest obstacle for him to escape. He and Zheng Dong could get out of the wire mesh hole, but there were mutant fish outside, and going out would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. In the water, all means of disguising the breath were futile, and there was no choice but to resist.

A bright light exploded above his head, and the light was even approaching. It should be a flight tracker!

Yu Heng looked back and immediately opened the hatch to pull Zheng Dong out. The isolation cabin was instantly flooded with water and it was no longer usable. He quickly put on swimming equipment for Zheng Dong and stuffed the respirator into his mouth. After cutting the rope with a knife to let the stone sink, Yu Heng dragged Zheng Dong to swim to the gap.

As soon as he swam out, the mutant fish couldn't wait to pounce on him and hit the protective cover. The aroma of grilled fish filled his nose. In this way, he dragged Zheng Dong to swim far away. During the way, Zheng Dong finally woke up and struggled to swim by himself. He gestured to Yu Heng: What's the situation?

Yu Heng told him: There are mutants guarding on the shore.

Zheng Dong: Damn, I'm really angry!

Yu Heng patted him: Stop gesturing, save your strength for swimming.

Not having to drag Zheng Dong saved Yu Heng a lot of energy, and it was safer to have one more person to help deal with the mutant fish. After swimming quite far, Zheng Dong asked: Go up?

Okay, go up, no matter how strong his physical strength is, he can't hold on.

The two of them swam up together.

Look, light!

Zheng Dong pulled Yu Heng and pointed behind him. Yu Heng also saw that the lights were spreading at the bottom of the river, as if they were going to conduct a carpet search, leaving no room for survival.

After finally swimming to the shore, Yu Heng didn't care about anything else and quickly got into the grass pile on the shore. A toad was startled and screamed excitedly, spraying saliva on his face. His face and neck were obviously itchy. He and Zheng Dong cooperated tacitly. They rushed up and killed the toad that was four or five times the size of the two of them in a few strokes. They didn't dare to use hot weapons for fear of making noises. They fought hand-to-hand, and both of them rolled out with external injuries.

The light behind them was getting closer. The two of them quickly dug out the wet soil and got in. Then they blocked the toad's body at the entrance of the cave as a cover. Leaning on the wet mud surface, Yu Heng took out a towel and gave it to Zheng Dong, and quickly wiped his body.

The place sprayed by the toad's saliva had already lumps, red and swollen with black. The toxicity of the mutant toad's saliva was also significantly increased. Fortunately, it was not a highly toxic substance and could be cured by taking some medicine.

Snap.

Looking up, Zheng Dong fainted again and fell to the ground. Yu Heng sighed, spread a towel on the ground to block the moisture, and then moved Zheng Dong up. It took a lot of effort to treat the injuries of the two. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he knew that there was movement above their heads.

Footsteps, voices, and the buzzing of tracking aircraft. The outsiders were conducting a comprehensive search, and the situation was really bad. Zheng Dong's condition was not good either. Yu Heng guessed that he must have drunk a lot of water, so his internal organs would fail and decay. With the pills he fed him to keep him alive, Zheng Dong would not die, but he was very uncomfortable and kept humming. In order to prevent the sound he made from attracting the enemy, he had to block the entrance of the cave with three layers inside and outside.

The days of darkness lasted for a long time, so long that Zheng Dong's injury began to improve. There was still a lot of noise outside. The people in the base might be fighting desperately, and the explosions never stopped.

Sadness, Yu Heng only felt an indescribable sadness. What did they do wrong to endure such suffering? Just because the world plane is low, do they deserve such suffering?

It's just the law of the jungle.

This mission world gave him a really bad experience. Physical fatigue can be eliminated, but mental fatigue is helpless. There are countless ways to live, and he has tried them all. He is not afraid of suffering and setbacks. He believes that man can conquer nature and that human power is unlimited. But he is also afraid of something, that is hopelessness. Once people can't see hope for the future, they will drift like duckweed.

Negative emotions are only a moment, and Yu Heng quickly cheered up and suppressed the negative emotions that were evoked by the heavy fog. Even if there is no hope, he still believes that as long as people are alive, everything is possible.

The original cave is really not suitable for living. In order to treat the wound, he and Zheng Dong combined Chinese and Western medicines, vomiting and diarrhea, even if they could bear it, they couldn't bear it at this time. Therefore, they left the cave and planned to find a new place to stay. When they swam carefully in the river, they heard a faint cry. It turned out that there were survivors hiding in the cave on the shore, breathing by the hollow grass stalks.

"Oh my god, we finally see a living person? How about where are you going? Can we go together?"

Of course, Yu Heng nodded. Seeing that the other party was seriously injured but still able to hold on, he admired him very much, so he gave him the medicine: "If you trust me, take it, it's for detoxification."

The young man who called himself Lan Cheng swallowed the medicine in one gulp, showing a satisfied expression. "I'm so hungry, now I can eat anything that can be eaten."

So there was one more Lan Cheng in the team. The three of them swam cautiously, getting farther and farther away from the base, and encountering fewer and fewer corpses. Lan Cheng asked: "Does this mean that we are safer?" Fewer corpses, doesn't it mean that we have left the battlefield?

Zheng Dong forced a smile: "It may also be because there are more fish here."

Lan Cheng was stunned for a moment before he heard the deep meaning of the words, and his face changed.

After landing, Yu Heng and Zheng Dong did their old business, looking for ant holes, cleaning up all the ants, and continuing to dig deeper according to the structure of the ant hole to get rid of the tracking range of the tracker. Finally, they sealed their mouths with soil. Lan Cheng was stunned and admired them very much.

"You two big brothers are obviously doing big things. Can you accept me as your younger brother?"

"How old are you?"

Lan Cheng quickly replied to Zheng Dong: "I'm 19, definitely an adult."

Listening to Zheng Dong and Lan Cheng whispering, Yu Heng also liked such a relaxed environment. Later, Zheng Dong came to talk to Yu Heng about this matter. He only said: "Then sign the letter of faith. I have a lot of secrets. I trust you, but I don't trust him yet."

Zheng Dong smiled: "That's it."

Lan Cheng signed the letter of faith and became a new member of the two people. Yu Heng didn't dare to be as casual as before. The outsiders were too cruel and he couldn't expose himself.

After hiding underground for half a month, the movement in the direction of the base stopped, and the number of tracking aircraft began to decrease, and then almost disappeared. The whole world sank into darkness, and the outsiders withdrew.

The three of them did not dare to move rashly. They usually only took food from nearby places, such as taking water from the river and picking some wild vegetables. They only dared to catch fish every few days, for fear of making too much noise. During this period, they also met other survivors. For safety, those survivors did not come to live together. After learning the skills of digging ant holes and borrowing tools from Yu Heng, they also dug ant holes far away and lived there.

This matter is quite sad and helpless. The state machine gathered the survivors, originally intending to build a safe zone to block the attacks of mutant animals and plants, but now, it has become the target of outsiders. Is it unfair? It's unjust.

Yu Heng guessed that this time the major accident in this base would definitely give a bloody warning to other surviving base safety zones. Perhaps the survivors will disperse into the wild again, but facing mutant animals and plants directly is an extremely difficult challenge.

No matter what choice is made, it is between life and death.

The flight tracker left and came back again, and there were always aircraft searching in the base and nearby intermittently. The anthill where Yu Heng was located had been dug three meters deep and was about four meters from the ground. According to the research of the base, these trackers can only "see" humans three meters underground. Below three meters, they can avoid tracking as long as they are well covered. Unfortunately, the address of the base is there, and it can't be hidden no matter how hard you try.

The anthill where they settled didn't last long. Unfortunately, a heavy rain flooded the anthill. They couldn't make various isolation and protection layers like the underground secret room built by the base. Once it rained, the muddy water in the soil layer would seep in and it couldn't be stopped. As a last resort, Yu Heng had to leave the anthill with his companions.

It was raining heavily outside. The rain hit the body like a stone, which was painful and urgent. Wearing a raincoat, a hood and a basin was useless. He and Zheng Dong had to go back to their old job of digging a tree hole to barely avoid it. When they came to the ground, the most worrying thing was the tracker. Zheng Dong sat at the entrance of the cave and watched, and Yu Heng made a fire inside to remove moisture.

"What should we do, Mr. Peng? I think it's not a good idea to stay in the tree hole for too long. If a tracker comes, it will definitely find us." Zheng Dong missed Cuixu Park. It was so nice there. No birds lay eggs there, and few outsiders went there. The tree hole they dug was spacious and comfortable. What a pity.

While drying clothes, Yu Heng said, "Now we can only stay in the original base. There is a drainage device inside. Even if there is water accumulation, the base will not be completely submerged. It is enough for us to live. I'm just not sure if it is safe."

After going around in circles, they still have nowhere to go.

The sighs were mixed in the sound of rain and dissipated in the water vapor.
