Chapter 1121 Young Man, Do You Desire Power?

"Abba, how many days will it take for us to enter the base city? I'm so hungry, I want to eat the fragrant and soft rice you mentioned."

On a fast-moving off-road vehicle in the rocky wilderness, a child curled up with a blue face said weakly.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, just bear with it, and when you enter the base city, you won't have to worry about being hungry anymore."

Hearing his son's words, the man who was driving a steel monster that had been refitted countless times in the wilderness, licked his dry lips, and then smiled to encourage his son.

"Abba, can us homeless people really enter the base city? Last time I heard a person in the base city call us wild dogs."

"Who? Who called you a wild dog?" Hearing what his son said, the man's face instantly became fierce.

He is a scavenger trying to survive on the outskirts of another base city, but half a month ago, he unexpectedly received an amazing news that the brilliant base city thousands of kilometers away is expanding and recruiting scavenger.

When he heard the news, he didn't hesitate too much, and immediately led his team of scavengers all the way to the brilliant base city.

Originally there were nearly thirty people in the team, after thousands of kilometers of journey, only he and his son were left, and all the others died on the way.

Regardless of their own physical fitness or the weapons they use, human beings are at an absolute disadvantage in the face of desolate beasts. Once they leave their comfort zone, it means that they will lose their lives at any time.

However, in the base city, a stable life with stable access to food has an irresistible fatal allure for the scavengers, so countless scavengers who got the news flocked to the glorious base city like moths to the flame.

The farther the distance, the greater the risk that the scavengers will have to bear, but the scavengers who can reach the destination across a long distance are undoubtedly the elite among human beings.

"I forgot." Seeing his father's expression, the child sitting in the co-pilot couldn't help shrinking his neck. He remembered his father's posture after he became ruthless, like an evil ghost crawling up from hell.

"It doesn't matter, Dad, what I'm worried about now is whether the news we got is true, can we really join the base city?"

"Absolutely.

Seeing his son changing the subject in such a blunt way, the man narrowed his eyes, then recovered his peaceful expression, and narrated the chilling words in a flat tone,

"Even if it's fake, with the scavengers gathered around the base city, I can make it real."

"Abba!" The child raised his head in shock and looked at his father.

"Haha, look at your expression, it's funny, there is a magic trick, how can an ordinary person like me be able to turn the world over?"

"Maybe the news is true." The child shrank his body. As a son, he naturally knew the true face of his father, and he knew what a crazy person his father was.

If the place they went to didn't meet their expectations, he couldn't imagine what his father would do, maybe he would really entangle the rest of the scavengers and attack the base city.

...

two days later

"Abba, look, there are plants ahead." The child stood up excitedly from the driver's seat, and looked at the greenery that appeared from the horizon and then gradually spread, and his mood became extremely happy because of this.

The vibrant scene was completely different from the desolate and dead scene he had seen these days, which made him involuntarily make him full of expectations for his future.

Compared with the excitement of the child, the expression of the man driving the car is much calmer, even a little dignified.

"How can there be plants growing in this ghostly environment?"

"Abba, what are you talking about?" The child turned his head suspiciously, he didn't hear clearly what his father was mumbling just now.

"It's nothing, take the weapon I gave you, don't let your guard down, there's something wrong with this place."

"Oh!" The child pulled out a modified shotgun from the storage folder in front of him very obediently and honestly.

Chi~

A few heavy marks were left on the wide tire belt. To humans, it was like a monster-like off-road vehicle that stopped in front of an unusually lush thorn forest.

The man got out of the car with his child, and then looked at the thorny forest shining faintly in front of him, his already serious face became more serious.

"Abba, can these be eaten?" The child who grew up in the wilderness and sometimes even had to feed on the sea of ​​corpses of wild beasts looked at the thorny jungle in front of him and couldn't help swallowing.

In a world where mass extinctions have occurred, bark and grass roots are tantamount to delicacy for surviving creatures.

"cannot."

"Why?" The child was a little puzzled, "Didn't you tell me that as long as it is a plant, you can eat it? Aren't these plants?"

"Whether these are considered plants, I can't say for sure. This is the first time I have seen this thing since I was born."

"Oh." Hearing what his father said, the child lowered his head in disappointment. He knew that his father would probably not let him touch the things in front of him.

Just at this moment, a convoy of several remodeled dilapidated vehicles came from afar and stopped not far from the father and son. rushed into the thorn forest

"Hahaha, there are so many plants here, brothers, let's satisfy our hunger."

A skinny man looked at the plants with reddish fluorescent lights around him, and the excitement in his eyes could hardly be concealed. He was like a rat that had been hungry for a long time and suddenly broke into a warehouse full of corn generally.

Soon, the man couldn't suppress the impulse of his body. He pulled out a polished saber, cut off a relatively fresh thorny branch, and put it in his mouth to chew. .

And after he ate this thorn branch, his companions did not follow him, but stared at his body closely, observing his state. Few people who can survive in the wilderness are reckless generation.

"How does it taste? How does it taste?"

"The taste is not very good, it is more woody, but it is much chewier than wild animal meat, and the taste is quite good, sour."

The man who ate the thorn branch described his feelings with a smile. He knew that his teammates regarded him as a guinea pig, but he didn't care about it. All he knew was that he was going crazy with hunger, and if he didn't eat anything, he felt like he was really going to die.

Soon the mutation happened. The smile of the man who ate the thorn branch froze not long after it bloomed on his face. His eyes protruded greatly, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Help me!" The man who felt something growing and spreading in his body crazily stretched out his palm to his companion for help. He felt that his vitality was being crazily absorbed by the foreign body in his body.

But when his companion saw him calling for help, instead of saving him, he kept backing away from him as much as possible.

The man was angry about this at first, but when Jean saw a branch on his palm piercing his skin that looked very similar to the thorn he had just swallowed, he understood.

"So I'm the food." The man understood his identity, the scene in front of him became blurred, and then everything fell into darkness.

"Abba!" The child who witnessed a plant devouring a human being completely, and then broke out, took root and entered the soil, turned around with some fear, and hugged his father's leg.

"Don't be afraid, this guy killed himself. These plants don't have the ability to actively prey."

The man who witnessed the tragedy in front of him calmly comforted his child.

"Gah, I knew it, the world has become like this, how could there be normal plants."

The team of scavengers who swallowed a member did not express too much sadness. For them, dead people are just a common thing.

Just when the man began to think about what he should do next, the sound of the propeller came from above his head, and then he looked up and saw an armed transport plane descending from above his head,

A soldier with live ammunition jumped off the transport plane, looked at the scavengers in front of him, and then at a short thorn tree that was still wearing clothes in the thorn forest, and suddenly laughed,

"Tsk, another unlucky guy who is hungry and crazy."

After sighing, the soldier looked at the scavengers in front of him, "You are all people who want to join our glorious base city, if so, come up!"

... The man standing on the transport plane looked at the ground passing by below, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed, because everything in front of him made him feel a little dreamy and a little unreal.

"Are these plants planted in your base city?" The man looked at the ground below with almost no soil exposed to the sky, and couldn't help asking with some doubts.

"Of course not, how can we have such ability, these are planted by Master Long?"

"Master Dragon?"

"You will know when you arrive at the base city." The soldiers all showed mysterious smiles.

"This is your son?" Just as the man was thinking, the soldier's eyes fell on his son.

"Um."

"To be able to grow up in this environment, it seems that the physical fitness is good." The soldier looked at the child, nodded, and then asked him with a smile,

"Young man, do you yearn for power? The power to fight wild beasts with your fists."
