Chapter 22 New Character Appears
Since the meteorite fell, the earth's ecological environment has undergone great changes. There is no absolutely safe place, whether on the ground or in the ocean.
In the Gobi, a group of ragged people were walking forward under the fierce sun. They did not belong to any camp and did not have powerful weapons. They were the weakest among human survivors.
But people like them all have one dream, and that is the City of Hope.
Hope City is a legendary city. It is said that people inside can enjoy the civilized life before the end of the world. Moreover, many new humans gather in Hope City, which is an absolutely safe place.
"Everyone, please support us. We can reach the rainforest through the Gobi. It is said that the City of Hope is in the rainforest." The middle-aged man in the lead encouraged.
But no one had the energy to respond, so they just lowered their heads and persisted silently. The middle-aged man also knew everyone's situation and kept moving forward with his heads lowered.
"Ah, help!" Suddenly the feet of the person behind him sank into the ground, and then the person screamed in horror. However, everyone hurriedly avoided him. He lowered his head in horror and immediately saw that his feet had been eaten by mutated earthworms.
Everyone watched the man being dragged underground by the mutated earthworms, feeling a little sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead. However, they all knew the terror of these mutated earthworms, so they did not have the courage to save the man. Moreover, they also knew that if they were caught by the mutated earthworms,
There will definitely be no one coming to save me.
"Everyone, keep moving forward." The middle-aged man said in a low voice, and then continued walking forward.
Everyone followed the leader silently. People like them were destined to die badly. Only the City of Hope was their hope.
Later, someone was caught by the mutated crab claws disguised as stones, but everyone still gave up on the unlucky person and moved on.
Although the Gobi has a wide field of vision, mutant creatures are good at camouflaging and lurking, so their team soon changed from more than thirty people to three people, and the rest were killed by the mutant creatures.
Finally, the three people crossed the Gobi, and they opened their eyes wide and looked at the scenery in front of them.
A huge stone mountain protrudes from the rain forest, with countless magnificent buildings on it. People as tiny as ants can be seen walking on the steps of the stone mountain cliff.
"Hope City, really Hope City!" the stronger man among the three shouted excitedly.
The other two people also had expressions of ecstasy on their faces, and their whole bodies were shaking violently with excitement.
"Sorry, you are not qualified to enter Hope City." At this time, a man with a fair face and a gentle appearance came out of the rain forest and said calmly.
The stronger man immediately said angrily: "Why, didn't it say that Hope City welcomes all surviving humans?"
"That's true, but it's a pity that you didn't pass the test." The man shrugged and said innocently.
The three of them looked at each other, and doubts suddenly arose in their hearts. What was the test that the man was talking about?
"Don't think about it, just listen to me." The man glanced at the three of them and said calmly: "The first test is perseverance. Being able to pass the Gobi is enough to prove that you are qualified."
"Then why do you say we failed?" the skinny man shouted.
But the man just glanced at him and continued: "The next step is the second test, which is unity and cooperation. The dangerous mutant creatures in the Gobi have actually been eliminated by us, and the remaining mutant creatures will not be too strong.
, even relatively strong mutated creatures have obvious weaknesses, and even if they are not new humans, as long as they can attack their weaknesses, it is not a problem at all. But you just sit back and watch, only caring about yourself, so you have failed this test."
The three of them felt a little ashamed. They did watch their companions being devoured by mutant creatures, but those mutant creatures were really strong!
"The following is the third test, which tests your intelligence, observation and reaction abilities. It can be seen from your second test that you are not only selfish, but also stupid. The weaknesses of those mutated creatures are so obvious to you.
No discovery was made, so you also failed this third test." The man said calmly.
The stronger man refused to give up and said: "You said those mutated creatures have obvious weaknesses, then tell me where their weaknesses are!"
"Okay, then I will convince you." After the man finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and soon someone in the rain forest pushed out several huge glass tanks, which turned out to be filled with mutant creatures that the three of them had encountered in the Gobi.
.
"First of all, let's talk about these mutated earthworms. In fact, they are not earthworms, but death bugs in the Gobi. And do you know that the death bugs you face are all larvae, although the death bugs have two heads?
, but their weaknesses are also quite obvious, which are the two dots hidden under their mouths, which are their most sensitive senses. Just a little damage can make them let go and escape." After the man finished speaking, he took out a wooden stick and opened the glass.
Chao poked the death insect, and the death insect immediately curled up and did not dare to move.
The man threw away the wooden stick and said with a smile: "Only larvae have this obvious weakness. When they turn into adults, these two senses will emit thousands of volts of current and they will not be able to do this."
The three of them were stunned. In their eyes, the mutated earthworms, which were extremely terrifying, were so easy to deal with. They only needed to poke their black spots twice...
"Okay, let's talk about the mutant desert crab." The man walked to the glass tank of the mutant desert crab and said, "The carapace of the desert crab is quite heavy, they walk very slowly, and their weak point is behind them!"
The man turned the glass tank, then pointed at the back of the desert crab and said: "Look, this is its excretion port. You all have pine oil, so you can definitely explode its anus."
"..." The three of them were stunned again. This is the weakness of the invincible mutant crab. Why didn't they discover it before?
Then the man told them one by one about the weaknesses of the mutated creatures they had encountered, and the three of them discovered that those people really didn't need to die.
"Okay, the explanation is over. Unfortunately, no one passed the test this time." After speaking, the man turned and left.
The stronger man immediately shouted: "You say a test is a test. Who knows if you are from Hope City?"
"Haha, whatever you think." The man smiled without looking back.
The ground suddenly began to shake violently. The three of them stared at the stone mountain slowly rising in the rain forest. This stone mountain was actually a living thing!
The stone mountain is just the head of this giant creature. It stands more than a thousand meters tall, and its body blocks out the sky and the sun. Moreover, it has countless houses on it, which can obviously be inhabited by people.
