Burnt?

Everyone was surprised. Because it was the rainy season recently and there was no thunder, there could not be an open flame. But if there was really one, it meant that there was probably someone here.

Or... some kind of mutant that can start fire!

Everyone, Li Kejiang, was on the highest alert, and Yu Tian made a forward gesture: "Everyone is on alert, move forward! Hranev clears the way!"

"yes!"

Khranev's body quickly condensed into bone armor. The powerful bone armor was bulletproof, fireproof and corrosion-proof. He could withstand any type of third-level mutant beast's attack!

After putting away the killer, Khranev cast a bone shield on his left and right, and his right hand turned into a huge sharp machete, splitting the vegetation in front of him to clear the way for everyone.

As we walked forward, the burnt smell became stronger and stronger, and everyone could smell it without Yang Li's reminder. Chu Yue carefully sensed the changes in the airflow around her, and said with certainty: "There should be no large predators nearby."

In silence, Yu Tian nodded and made gestures. He and Hranev bent down and used the cover of mutated weeds to surround the burning smelling place from two directions!

But the result was unexpected!

"This is..." Yu Tian looked at the thing in front of him with surprise on his face, because this was the third-level mutated black eagle that they had just killed, but now only one of its burnt and incomplete wings was still there.

, other parts have disappeared.

Everyone suddenly felt nervous, and Chu Yue immediately climbed up the big tree next to her to get the best view!

Because the place where this guy fell was not here at all! Instead, it was deep in the jungle. Something obviously dragged him to the river bank!

Yu Tian carefully inspected the remaining wings and frowned unconsciously, because the broken parts of the wings were too flat. The flesh and blood of the third-order mutants would indeed attract the prying eyes of the mutant beasts, but their habitual tearing could not leave them like this.

wounds, and they won't just eat the trunk and spare the huge wings.

"This cut..." Khlanev hesitated: "Why do I feel like it was done by someone?"

No one spoke, because everyone came to the same conclusion as Khranev. It seemed that only a person could use a knife to cause such a clean and neat wound. And looking at these huge wings that spread out to seven or eight meters, it seemed that it was the same.

For easier transportation.

But it’s a human being…

Everyone unconsciously looked at Chen Niuniu and found that Cheng Niuniu was so shocked that she could not speak.

Is there anyone still alive in the village?

"Niuniu, are there any other villages nearby besides your Chenjia Village?"

Chen Niuniu shook her head quickly, and suddenly she heard Yang Li say from behind: "Look, we are walking in this direction."

I saw a trace of hidden and obvious blood stains on the grass that was nearly as tall as a person, as if the corpse of a huge third-level mutated black eagle was being dragged upstream.

Chen Niuniu's face immediately turned rosy with excitement: "Further forward is the direction of our Chenjia Village, and the river happens to pass behind our village. This person must be from our village."

Chen Niuniu wished she could fly back to the village right now to take a look. After all, she grew up in the village and had many friends and relatives, even blood relatives who had not traveled much in the past, but now she suddenly heard news about her relatives in such an environment of the end of the world.

, no one can help but have mixed feelings.

But Yu Tian was not as excited as Chen Niuniu. He shook his head: "Don't be happy yet. Meeting living people outside may not be a good thing. Besides, the current drinking water situation in the village may not be what you think."

Yu Tian's eyes fell on the flowing river. Everyone immediately understood what Yu Tian meant, and Chen Niuniu's face suddenly turned pale.

Yu Tian conducted another river water sample monitoring on the spot. Under Chen Niuniu's nervous gaze, the river water was stained and still found a large number of mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae.

This result wiped out the last trace of blood on Chen Niuniu's face. Even if she escaped the rain and the mutant attack, the high concentration of mutant Streptococcus pneumoniae in the river water has already polluted the surrounding water sources and even the land.

, how can the people in the village survive?

"Let's go to the village and have a look, but from now on, no one is allowed to alert others."

Chen Niuniu took two deep breaths to calm down her excited mood.

The team entered silent stealth mode, no one spoke, and everyone used the cover of weeds to head towards the village.

The further he walked, the more traces of human activities he found. Yu Tian was surprised to find that these people seemed not to be afraid of the attacks of mutant beasts at all. They came and went freely in the mutated woods, as leisurely as before the apocalypse.

The further they walked, the more Yang Li frowned. She covered her nose and said, "Captain, can't you smell it? It smells so bad here, very smelly."

"I just feel a slight peculiar smell." Hranev lowered his voice.

But Yu Tian shook his head: "I smell it too, it's the rotten smell of the dead."

"Dead person..." After hearing these two words, Chen Niuniu's face couldn't help but turn pale. Chu Yue quickly took Chen Niuniu's hand, and her hand felt cold.

Khlanev, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised his hand and fisted, and everyone slowed down together. They slowly moved forward and pushed aside the thick weeds in front. There was already a large clearing of land in front of them, and a bluestone road led straight into the distance.

, Chenjiacun is right in front.

A black bloodstain was dragged forward in the middle of the road, and there were scattered black feathers falling.

Everyone hid behind the weeds and borrowed scopes to observe. The whole village was dead silent, but from various traces, it seemed that there were really people living in it, and there were signs of work, but no one could be seen at all. But further forward

There was no longer any grass for them to hide.

At this time, a gust of wind blew from the front. Yang Li's eyes suddenly widened, and her knees went weak as she knelt on the ground and almost retched. The strong rotten smell made everyone look pale, not to mention that Yang Li had a sensitive sense of smell, which was a big problem for him.

It's simply a nightmare.

"Yang Li doesn't need your olfactory guidance here. Put on the biochemical gas mask and follow me."

This time we were likely to encounter a strong source of infection, so Yu Tian prepared biochemical gas masks for everyone, thanks to the fact that there were enough of them in the 108th Battalion.

But the others don't need it for the time being, because they are immune to mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae, and wearing biochemical gas masks will severely limit their field of vision and affect their fighting.

After putting on the biochemical gas mask, Yang Li finally felt better. Yu Tian motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Don't talk, just look at my gestures."

Yu Tian jumped out of the thick grass with a quick step, and quickly hid behind the first adobe house at the entrance of the village with the help of the light refraction of the shadows under the trees. He glanced around and turned around to gesture to the others.

The other four people quickly ran towards Yu Tian's location. Only Yang Li participated in such an action for the first time, but the body of a second-order evolver allowed him to quickly adapt to everyone's speed.

When Chen Niuniu arrived, she couldn't wait to look at the village. She could already see the entire village. But what she saw in front of her made everyone's face filled with deep astonishment.

"What...what happened to them?"
