A streak of verdant green, imbued with the vigor of life, grows magnificently.
Upon seeing this symbol of life, Chen Che suddenly snaps back to his senses.
It turns out that even on this wasteland, it is not as he imagined—a barren land with only desert plants, a vast desolation.
One can still see such green life.
He heard the sound of the river flowing.
Beside the Ninth Special Zone, there is a great river flowing through, which can be said to be one of the most important economic sources of the entire Ninth Special Zone.
It serves as the water source for the entire city’s reservoir in the Ninth Special Zone and has a channel through which a large amount of materials can be transported away and brought in from this great river.
Many residents of the special zone also make a living by fishing.
There are still fish in the river that are edible, but it remains fraught with dangers.
Many carnivorous fish in the river can strip a person to bare bones in just a few breaths if one enters.
Water is the source of life.
The magnificent flowing water source brought lush greenery.
This gave Chen Che a moment of reflection, thinking that even in a post-apocalyptic world, the land is ultimately fertile and able to grow crops.
If it weren’t for the constant dangers on the wasteland, requiring city walls to ensure absolute safety, the people on the wasteland wouldn’t be living such miserable lives now.
Opening a plot of farmland could feed a family for a year.
Expensive rice in the civilized world is just something every household can easily access.
As the convoy sped from the north to the west, the scene in front of them began transitioning from green to yellow.
It’s hard to imagine that just ten kilometers away from a flowing great river lies a desert.
Yellow sand is everywhere, and the radiation dust roars in the air, with the pervasive dust almost blinding everyone’s eyes.
Chen Che squinted his eyes; this is the scene he had in his mind that the wasteland should have.
The scenes from playing various wasteland-themed games became real before his eyes.
The psychological impact it brings is beyond words; only by witnessing it can one feel the heart pounding like drumbeats.
Chen Che exhaled, just about to say something when Angduo’s voice came from the radio next to him: "Director, traces of an Earth Dragon have been found around Transporter No. 10!"
An Nishang picked up the radio, replied with a "noted," and then looked at Xia Na.
Xia Na nodded, wrapped in a sexy leather outfit, with a mask covering all parts below her nose, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
Her amethyst eyes were full of spirituality and a unique sharpness!
The door of the off-road vehicle is similar to the sliding doors of a famous van.
One side of the door can be opened.
When the door opened, yellow sand poured into the off-road vehicle, the end-time scent becoming even more intense; Chen Che seemed to be able to smell the radiation’s roar.
Xia Na, holding a Tang Blade, bent her legs and leaped; in Chen Che’s view, Xia Na’s body landed precisely on the top of a transporter.
The transporters on the wasteland are all specially modified trucks. A full load can carry 30 people, and the specially modified tires and engines allow them to speed across such sandy terrain.
This time, including An Nishang’s private troops, a total of 700 people in nearly 30 transporters have set out.
The roar of car engines echoed in the depths of the desert, kicking up clouds of yellow sand, as a slender yet agile figure quickly leaped across one transporter after another.
The route for the transporters was not arranged in a straight line but followed a special formation, with the lead vehicle opening the way, and several vehicles traveling in parallel behind it.
They could provide support for each other.
Inside the vehicle, Chen Che looked outside, where the scenery was rapidly retreating, and within the soft sand, he seemed to see a protrusion quickly shuttling through.
It was shuttling underground! ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI(F)ire.net
Recalling the name "Earth Dragon" that came from the radio, Chen Che suddenly remembered this kind of life.
This desert is called Death Desert Zone One, populated by unique desert mutant beasts like Flame Cactus, Black Flame Bull, and others.
The Earth Dragon is also one of them, resembling an enlarged version of a lizard; the largest known Earth Dragon so far measures around ten meters.
It is truly a colossal behemoth.
The scales of these Earth Dragons are incredibly hard, capable of deflecting bullets, equipped with a pair of sharp foreclaws, allowing them to quickly dig through soft sand and move underground at a speed of up to 60 kilometers per hour.
Bloodthirsty... and fond of eating humans.
The Earth Dragon’s threat level ranks B in the entire Death Desert Zone One.
In the post-apocalyptic world, humans have rated all life forms that pose a threat to humans.
The most common levels are from A to E, with five levels in total.
There is also a unique level above A: the S level.
A mutant beast with an S-level threat to humans can be considered a disaster, capable of annihilating a mercenary group of over a hundred people armed with elite weapons!
It is terrifyingly frightening.
If the Earth Dragon reached full adulthood, its threat level could reach A.
But judging from the commotion and its size as it follows them, this Earth Dragon is no more than five meters in length, with a threat level around B.
The entire convoy did not slow down, while only Xia Na continued to leap until she reached the top of Transporter No. 4.
With her legs firmly planted atop Transporter No. 4, her agile amethyst eyes revealed a chilling intent, her gaze locked onto the Earth Dragon traversing underground.
