Zheng Sheng looked up and looked ahead.

Sure enough, a large number of plants appeared around the highway in the distance, scattered on both sides of the road. Moreover, the highway in the distance was covered with black moss, and many mushrooms of all sizes grew on the moss, all of them blood red in color.

The vibrant color stood out starkly against the black moss.

The dim light overhead cast a shadow, and a light mist permeated the forest on both sides, making the entire forest appear and disappear in the darkness, with a hint of dark red, giving people an extremely eerie feeling.

Compared to human cities, this strange forest has an indescribable sense of oppression and is eerily quiet!

Looking at the eerie forest in the distance, Zheng Sheng frowned; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Let's take a break and continue tomorrow."

Three days have passed since they left the crossroads, and they have not encountered any danger along the way.

This is the first abnormality on the highway in three days, and something is clearly wrong.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Zheng Sheng decided to conserve his energy and rest for a night before entering this eerie forest.

After the team rested in place, Zheng Sheng looked towards the corner of the team.

Wang Lu was alone with the giant cat, huddled by the roadside. She lay in the cat's embrace, her small body buried in its fur, with only her feet sticking out.

Even though she chose to follow the group, she didn't seem to want to interact with too many people.

Zheng Sheng hesitated for a moment, then called Fang Ting and Tang Yanyan over, and the three of them came to Wang Lu together.

Fang Ting is gentle, considerate, and caring. Tang Yanyan and Wang Lu are about the same age, so they may have more to talk about.

Bringing two women along would make the other party more relaxed, and communication should be easier.

Looking at Wang Lu in front of him, Zheng Sheng didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"I see you're alone. Would you be interested in joining my team?"

Zheng Sheng extended the invitation with a sincere look in his eyes.

When I spoke with Chen Kun before, he talked a lot about the special features of the [Survivor] sequence.

Although this sequence doesn't have much combat power, it can greatly increase the survival rate of the survivor team.

A strong team of survivors will usually invite one survivor to join.

If Wang Lu is indeed a Tier 3 Survivor, having her join your team would be entirely beneficial.

"Hmm." Wang Lu nodded, her face still expressionless, as if she had already made her decision.

Three months ago, numerous human cities suddenly appeared, and the number of survival roads also increased dramatically, but wherever she looked, darkness was spreading.

From that day on, she saw a ray of light in the darkness, so she left the national highway and kept walking back.

It was all in search of that light in the darkness.

Now, she has found it.

"I'd like to join your team," Wang Lu said, glancing at the big cat beside her. "Could Mimi join too? She's my best friend; she's very obedient and definitely won't cause you any trouble."

"No problem." Zheng Sheng nodded, a little surprised that the other party agreed so easily.

He had prepared many prepared remarks, but he didn't use a single one.

Zheng Sheng looked at Wang Lu and continued earnestly.

"We've only been in this world for a short time, and our team was formed temporarily. Although it's not a particularly strong team, I can at least guarantee that I will never abandon you if we encounter danger."

"Thank you." Wang Lu nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

Seeing that Wang Lu didn't react, Zheng Sheng didn't say anything more.

For the past three days, he has been observing Wang Lu. Apart from spending time with her cat every day, she hardly communicates with anyone.

As the saying goes, words are useless; it's all about actions. The two people have just met and aren't very familiar with each other yet, so it's normal for the other person to be wary.

He himself was the same; although he had invited Wang Lu, he still remained wary of this woman who had suddenly appeared.

The reason for inviting Wang Lu was actually to have him join their team so they could view his stats.

"System, view her panel."

[Person]: Wang Lu

Age: 17

[Physical Constitution]: 32

【Spirit】: 32

[Qi]: 32

[Sequence]: Survivor (Tier 3, Level 2)

[Skills]: Eye of Fortune Level 1, Mysterious Sense Level 8, Danger Sense Level 7, Luck Level 6, Wilderness Survival Level 3, Beast Language Level 2, Medicine Level 2...

……

Zheng Sheng looked at Wang Lu's panel. Her three-dimensional attributes were unremarkable, and she didn't have many skills, even fewer than Uncle Niu.

However, her senses of eeriness, danger, and luck are all extremely high. The combination of these three factors clearly makes Wang Lu's perception reach an exaggerated level.

Judging from the other party's words and actions last time, she should be able to see through the fog on both sides of the road.

In addition, Wang Lu has a very special skill: Eye of Fortune.

Although this skill is only level 1, it is different from all other skills. The skill color is actually gold, which is the first time he has ever seen a gold skill.

The other party wasn't lying to her; she was indeed a Tier 3 Survivor.

Zheng Sheng relaxed his guard a little.

"Fang Ting, go find Wang Dali and get a watermelon. Let's eat and chat."

After confirming Wang Lu's sequence, Zheng Sheng became more talkative and eagerly asked her many questions.

As a high-level sequence awakener who had lived in the Survival Highway world for three years, Wang Lu was indeed very knowledgeable about this world and said many things that Zheng Sheng did not know.

For example, what did the crossroads they encountered last time represent? And what is the forest in front of them all about?

"You mean, the crossroads we encountered last time was actually a human city in the past?"

Zheng Sheng looked shocked. Wang Lu, who was beside him, nodded, stroked the big cat, and continued to whisper.

"Yes, that used to be a city, but it has now been 'eaten up' by the Nightmare Land."

"As you may have noticed, the survival roads don't have forks; multiple survival roads only appear when you encounter a city."

"The intersection I saw last time was actually because the city was completely shrouded in fog and could not be seen at all; only the highway remained."

After listening to Wang Lu's words, Zheng Sheng remained silent for a long time, while Tang Yanyan, who was standing to the side, also turned pale.

"So you're saying that over time, these human cities that have appeared on the highways will slowly disappear?"

"Where will we find food from now on?"

Tang Yanyan asked worriedly, clearly frightened by what Wang Lu had just said.

It turns out that not only people, but cities can also be eaten up by this world!

"Actually, the disappearance of cities only started in the last few months," Wang Lu continued.

"After the last great black tide, humans began to descend upon this world in large numbers, and those powerful and eerie creatures shrouded in the mist are also resurfacing."

"Some of the smaller cities that were the first to arrive, due to the lack of human presence for a long time, also began to be swallowed up by the Nightmare Land."

"That's why those powerful figures on the national highway wanted to build the City of Hope."
