"Why would this young couple come to this nature reserve to play?"
"Aren't they afraid of the danger?"
On the peak of Feilong Mountain, a few female soldiers were holding binoculars and observing in the direction of Chunan and the others.
"Maybe they are afraid of zombies in the city, so they hid in the mountains."
The leading female soldier put down the binoculars and sighed.
"While there are no zombies on the mountain, there are mutated beasts and plants."
"The mountain is more dangerous than the bottom!"
Another female soldier shook her head with pity.
"You're wrong. Although the mountain is dangerous, you can still find wild fruits to eat!"
"Even if it's safer at the bottom, if there's nothing to eat, we can only wait to starve to death!"
"Dragon team, what should we do? Should we help them?"
"They are our fellow Chinese, how can we watch them die without helping? Let's give them half of our water and food and let them return the way they came."
"We only brought two days' worth of food in total. If we give them half, we'll only have one day's ration left. If we don't find that dragon egg within a day, we'll go hungry."
"Even if we go hungry, don't forget that we are the People's Liberation Army soldiers. Protecting the people is our duty."
"Yes, Dragon team!"
"Let's go!"
After the leading female soldier finished speaking, she picked up her gun and walked towards Chunan and the others.
...
"Are we not there yet at the Dragon Saliva Pool?"
"It's been half an hour already!"
Deep in the mountains, Lin Qingya looked at the endless forest with a worried expression.
There was a ready-made mountain road in the Feilong Mountain Nature Reserve, but in order to stay on course, they followed the direction indicated by the pink flowers and walked straight ahead.
They had no problem with their physical strength, but the thorns along the way had torn her clothes in several places.
"We should be close!"
"Look...!"
Chunan suddenly stopped and pointed at a venomous snake on the rocks ahead.
Places with rare treasures are often guarded by poisonous creatures.
"Ah...!"
Seeing the snake, Lin Qingya screamed in fright.
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
The snake not only had colorful patterns on its body, but also a triangular head.
At the moment, the snake was staring at them motionlessly, occasionally spitting out crimson venom.
"Don't be afraid!"
"It can't harm us!"
Chunan patted her fragrant shoulder and comforted her softly.
This should be a mutated venomous snake, because ordinary venomous snakes do not have such a large body size.
However, with his abilities, even a mutated venomous snake would have a hard time getting close!
"Pop, pop, pop...!"
Just as he was about to take out his AK47 from the storage space, gunshots suddenly rang out in the distance.
In the next moment, the snake on the rock had its head riddled with bullets.
The snake wriggled for a while before becoming motionless!
Moments later, to their surprise, a team of fully armed female soldiers approached them.
"It's very dangerous on this mountain. Why did you come up here?"
"There are poisonous insects and fierce beasts everywhere. Without special equipment, it's difficult to survive on this mountain."
"It was dangerous just now. If we hadn't shot in time, the snake would have swallowed you alive!"
Approaching them, one of the three female soldiers spoke in a reproachful tone.
"Who are you...?"
Chunan glanced at them, trying to find out their identity.
When they were at the foot of the mountain, Four Eyes had mentioned that Monade Biochemical Company and the Chinese military had sent people to search for dragon eggs on this Feilong Mountain.
Although these female soldiers were wearing the combat uniforms of the Chinese army, he couldn't be sure which side they were from.
Because in the previous life, Monade had cultivated many intellectuals and traitors within China.
If these people were employed by Monade, he wouldn't be polite.
"Don't be afraid!"
"We're from the Women's Special Forces of the East China Military Region!"
"It's very dangerous on this mountain, so you should go back the way you came as soon as possible!"
The leading female soldier said, then turned to her companions behind her. "Give them half of our food and water!"
"Yes!"
One of the female soldiers put down her backpack and took out all the water and compressed biscuits from inside.
"Take it and go back quickly!"
"The mountain is more dangerous than the bottom!"
"Without anyone to protect you, you won't survive for a day!"
"You can make these last for a month or two if you ration it properly."
Although reluctant, they strictly followed the captain's orders and gave half of their food to Chunan.
Seeing the soldiers giving him food, Chunan was dumbfounded. The food in his storage space could last for thousands of years. He didn't need any of this!
However, through their actions, Chunan now believed that they were sent by the military.
Because only soldiers of the People's Liberation Army would do such silly things in the end times!
In the previous life, the military tried their best to protect all the surviving humans, but unfortunately, there were too many traitors and sellouts who made it difficult to control everyone.
As a result, local warlords emerged and became powerful, while the cruel villains went unpunished.
In other words, selfish humans destroyed the protective umbrella that was meant to protect them!
"Oh, by the way, take this gun too!"
"There are five fully loaded magazines here!"
"It's not safe for you to carry so much food back, so take this for self-defense."
The leading Dragon team seemed to have thought of something and handed over their automatic rifles.
"Sigh... in the end times, there are not many foolish people like this!"
Seeing the soldiers giving them food and guns, Chunan couldn't help but sigh.
Although the country still had the military and many awakened abilities within the army, they would soon sacrifice a large portion of their forces to deal with mutated beasts and protect the surviving people.
The loss of a large number of abilities would weaken the military's strength, allowing the cruel tyrants to dominate, with no one to punish them.
If the military had not cared about the lives of the common people and focused on preserving their strength from the beginning, they would not have declined so quickly.
"Let's go!"
The team of female soldiers left in a hurry.
Chunan didn't call them back or refuse, but waved his hand and stored the food and ammunition in his storage space.
Finding the fruits was the priority, and he didn't want to waste any more time.
If they delayed any longer, that crystal-like fruit might fall into someone else's hands.
This fruit was capable of awakening the ancient dragon bloodline. Missing it would not only mean missing an opportunity to control the mutated beasts, but it might also mean gaining a formidable enemy!
In the end times, self-preservation is the most important thing, followed by helping others!
