Dilapidated buildings, abandoned farmland, and corpses lying some distance apart.
Large tracts of land are deserted.
After several years of development, the vegetation that had long degraded has once again grown densely.
Although the outside is not yet the same as the virgin forest, it is still green and lush.
Headquarters area.
Before times began to change, there were more than a dozen prefecture-level cities, hundreds of counties, and thousands of towns and villages!
The places where people lived are all gone these days, and each one looks like a ghost.
In the headquarters area, only Qicheng is left.
Except for the hundred-mile distance that can be radiated from Qicheng as the center, it is difficult to see any human habitation.
Therefore, every time the exploration team comes out, they must bring a lot of logistics supplies, otherwise, they will have to starve to death outside.
Although all the beast kings in the headquarters area have been killed, and most of the beast tides have been destroyed several times, there are still many strange beasts.
These strange beasts do not have the support of a beast king, nor do they have a large population, so they cannot form a huge tide of beasts.
But it doesn't mean that these strange beasts are extinct.
They are still there.
Even now, they still have an absolute number in the entire headquarters.
There are still tens of millions of these strange beasts in the vast area of the headquarters, which is definitely much more than the human race.
After the exploration team came out, these strange beasts were also their food.
As long as you bring pots, pans, etc., and kill a few strange beasts, it's not impossible to eat them.
If you encounter some exotic beasts with delicious meat, you can have a full meal after killing them.
That is, if you are unlucky and encounter a strong one, if an exploration team led by an S-class superpower encounters a strange beast that has not been killed before, it will really be a disaster!
He can't be killed, he can't be beaten, he can't run, he can't escape.
I can only watch the team being slaughtered bit by bit. How can it not be considered a kind of despair?
Li Xiao and the others are encountering such a team now.
Within a few kilometers, they collected fifteen corpses.
The corpse had been there for some time, and basically the flesh was gone, leaving only some skeletons. It was not known whether it had been eaten or weathered.
Judging by the time, it should have been eaten.
Li Xiao arranged for people to dig some holes for them, and then erected some nameless wooden signs. All the things that could prove their identities were gone, and that was all.
Li Xiao asked people to collect some things that could prove their DNA. When they return, they will take them back for identification. After the identity is clear, Chen Xuan or two SS-level superpowers can go there to ensure their own safety. Next, try to take the bones back and collect them.
"I want to erect a big stone tablet in Qicheng and write down all the people who have dedicated their lives for mankind."
"They are all people who have done glorious things for us, we should not forget them!"
Li Xiao said.
Several SS-level superpowers were silent.
That doesn't mean they don't agree with it, they agree very much.
They were not SS-level superpowers from the beginning.
They are not beast kings who descend from the sky. They are so tyrannical when they first appear.
They relied on their own efforts, fighting between life and death, and accumulated strength bit by bit!
It can be said that until now, there is no SS-level superpower who has not been tempered on the edge of life and death.
There are few SSS-level superpowers in the three areas. Are there many SS-level superpowers? There may only be one or two hundred people in the three areas combined.
Among the population of 20 million, it is still just a drop in the ocean!
And they were piled up among countless dead people, and the proportion was definitely not just among the simple 20 million people.
"Lord Li Xiao, there is no need to be sad. For the survival and rise of the human race, this is what they and we should do."
"We are willing to cut ourselves off to come out with you because you are the hope of our human race. Only you have killed so many beast kings and given us hope in the dark age."
"Their deaths are not meaningless. Just like the team lying in the hospital now, they still explored the cave even though they knew it was dangerous. Someone has to do some things, right?"
< br>
Wei Qiang, one of the five SS-level superpowers who followed Li Xiao out to explore the cave this time, said this.
Li Xiao nodded and listened to Wei Qiang's advice.
"Let's go, keep going. According to the intelligence, the cave is still three hundred kilometers away from us. It will take another day for us to travel at full speed."
Of course, this day is not the speed at which Li Xiao can rush.
This is the speed at which these SS-level superpowers are traveling.
If Li Xiao was alone, he would have arrived by now.
We saw too many unfair things along the way, which made several people feel a little gloomy at the moment.
There are very few words behind it.
Just stay silent, rest, and drive, rest again, and drive again.
Finally got to the place.
This is already close to the southwest.
This is not within the scope of the West District, it is still in the headquarters, but a few dozen kilometers further, we will reach a new area.
The southwest area is very strange. No survivors have ever come to the main area.
Maybe it's because Qicheng in the headquarters area is too far away from here. There are no survivors who can cross such a long distance to settle down in Qicheng.
Li Xiao has no time to pay attention to the southwest region for the time being. He has just settled in the west and east districts and has not had time to deal with a lot of things. The southwest region can only devote its energy to the southwest region after these things are resolved.
And now, this cave is in front of me.
It looks very ordinary.
Nothing special about it.
It's similar to the cave dwellings in the north.
It's just that it's darker inside and looks deeper.
Li Xiao stood at the entrance of the cave and did not feel any energy fluctuations.
How strange.
"Drop something in and take a look?"
Li Xiao said.
Wei Qiang stepped forward and took out something from his backpack, which made Li Xiao's eyelids jump.
"Master Li Xiao, we have already made a plan, don't worry, let's do it."
Then, Wei Qiang took out the drone that had been placed in his backpack.
Then, with Li Xiao watching, he controlled the drone to fly and flew into the cave.
Li Xiao was speechless, "If you have this thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Wei Qiang smiled and said, "Actually, we don't need this thing anymore. For the current abilities of superpowers, drones are not easy to use. It's just that today's situation is special." (End of Chapter)
