Chapter 164 Epilogue and Journey 4 (needs refinement)
Li Mu looked at the changing mountains around him and found that the surrounding scenery was quite beautiful.
When Ye Rumeng heard this, she smiled faintly and replied.
"I also think the scenery here is beautiful." And there are many traces of streams passing around.
“The fact that these trees are growing densely in this place, does that mean they will also become a dense jungle in the next place?”
Yao Chengcheng felt the same way, but he said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not sure if this can become a dense forest, but I know that many people still come to such a place."
"For example, our Fang Qiannan was talking happily."
"That's not necessarily true. It may not be us who come to this place."
“There may be others as well, and no wild animals have been found in the entire jungle.”
"Where have all these beasts gone? Don't they belong here?"
Li Mu didn't know what to think after hearing this, and he just answered them, "There don't seem to be any wild animals in the surrounding forests. If there are any wild animals, they are probably hiding in the surrounding woods. After all, they don't dare to come out."
"Why? Why don't they dare to come out?"
Ye Rumeng asked in confusion.
She seemed to be very interested in it all.
Only Li Mu was still talking bit by bit, "I don't know why the beasts didn't come out. Maybe they were hibernating. You forgot."
“Is this season very cold?”
It's really cold.
Moreover, Li Mu felt that they had been here for such a long time and had never been to other places. Could it be that he could settle down in this environment? Although they did not come out to walk during hibernation, could it be that they had already thought about hibernating here? Although Li Mu had doubts, he did not allow himself to think too much.
"After all, what does this jungle look like? That's none of their business." Li Mu said seriously, "And there are quite a few animals in the entire jungle, but there are more of them during this period."
Although Li Mu was thinking, "If there is a way to find that jungle, can other jungles be connected together?"
Hearing this, Ye Rumeng's eyes lit up: "Can we go back and forth between different jungles?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I wonder if thinking this way will bring about anything bad?"
"I have a feeling that all the jungles can be connected, and maybe many trees will be together." Ye Rumeng also thought of something and walked forward. "It will be hard to say if there is congestion."
So at this moment Li Mu was also confused: "There was no sound of wild animals around us when we were flying, as if many wild animals had disappeared here."
Fang Qiannan suddenly asked in surprise: "But from what we can see now, did all the beasts disappear at this moment? Not necessarily."
Yao Chengcheng showed a fascinated look: "It's only in the distant past, or in a time and space a long time later that we will meet again."
Everything they didn't know was always happening, and when they were walking through the jungle, they didn't notice anything moving.
But when I looked down, I saw a small shelter suddenly in the middle of the jungle.
Yao Chengcheng looked at it and felt confused: "We looked at this shelter from a distance and there was nothing unusual, but this shelter is underground."
Ye Rumeng seemed to have noticed something, and her expression was a little solemn: "And there are very few underground shelters. How did this place make the shelters so hidden?" Li Mu didn't want to delve into this issue at all. He just found that he couldn't see the end even if he used his peripheral vision to look.
They had no choice but to go down to the nearby woods. The entire field of vision was filled with thick black fog, which seemed to be some kind of cooking smoke.
Li Mu then looked up and asked, "Are they eating with this?" Li Mu was very confused. When they walked into the shelter, they found that there was a lot of secrets underground.
Ye Rumeng checked the environment and frowned slightly: "And the entire underground is a shelter? Then how did this place get built here? Why not go to a bigger place?"
Li Mu also wanted to say: "What's the point of crowding into such a small shelter? The people walking around are all young and middle-aged people between 20 and 50 years old. It seems that they are gathering here intentionally, but this place looks a bit strange."
Because the young and middle-aged men here don’t seem to be very strong, they just look young, but they appear in such a small shelter.
Yao Chengcheng couldn't understand why: "Why are they guarding here?"
Li Mu was very confused and decided to go explore. He originally wanted to continue flying with the other companions, but when he saw this small shelter, he became a little restless as he always felt that something was weird.
Everyone in the shelter had dazed looks in their eyes.
Until an old man came over, he looked at the young and middle-aged people in the shelter and suddenly sighed.
It was this sigh that caught Li Mu's attention.
The old man continued, "This shelter was set up by a gang leader."
"And they are the leaders of the bad guys. They were also the leaders of the bad guys in the underworld before the end of the world."
"I have lived in this place for a long time and I am reluctant to leave."
"Some people around were still exercising, while others were just lying down. And it seemed like everything was not working properly, because the cooking stove was broken and the food they ate was just wild fruits picked at random." Li Mu wrote down what he saw with his own eyes.
Yao Chengcheng added: "It looks like the living conditions aren't very good. Is this place really habitable?"
Li Mu said with serious suspicion: "The food they eat is all from the wild. If they eat something poisoned, there will be no medical treatment. Won't they die here?"
No matter what happened, since they were here, they had to investigate it thoroughly. Li Mu saw people walking around and wanted to talk to them.
But he was afraid that they would be disturbed, so he could only hide aside and observe the movements here. Li Mu did not want anyone to know that they had already arrived. He just wanted to wait quietly and wait for the right time before taking action.
Ye Rumeng stretched out her hand to feel the fog in the air: "The smoke from the cooking fires around here is already very thick. This thick fog has been floating in the air and has not dissipated for a long time. Perhaps the jungle is too big and too dense, and the leaves are blocking it. We can't even see how this thick fog got out."
"And from the perspective in front of us, there are also many people who keep pushing Sangsang." Li Mu frowned and continued, "It seems that they are talking about something. They always think that the food they cook is the most delicious. They can hear some of the words clearly, and some, one sentence at a time."
Fang Qiannan also listened carefully to those words: "They said it was delicious, well, not bad, okay, not delicious, I want to eat it."
Even Li Mu felt his scalp tingling. "How long has it been since we last met these people? Where are the living people? They are like walking toys here, imprisoned here."
Li Mu looked at the people walking around again and sighed: "According to what the old man said just now, these people are all illegally imprisoned here. No matter how you look at it, these people have lost the will to live."
"But I know I need to eat when I'm hungry and run home when it rains. But it's all a bit weird because no one comes to this place, but I'm trapped by someone."
So Li Mu made a bold guess: "Maybe this gang leader is still here."
