"Yes, that's fine!"

Wang Lu nodded vigorously. She looked at the terrifying dark forest in front of her, but her face showed no fear at all, as if she had long been used to this kind of scene.

She continued earnestly, trying to teach Zheng Sheng and the others how to survive in this world.

"Don't be fooled by how terrifying this forest looks; it's only terrifying in appearance."

"With so many people in the team, if we go in and collect supplies, we should be able to save half of them."

"Uh... only half of the people can survive, isn't that terrifying?!" Grandpa Niu said in shock.

Luo Hao, Fang Ting, and the others were also startled by Wang Lu's words.

Half of the 5000 people are dead, isn't that dangerous?!

Zheng Sheng nodded, but then he thought about it again and realized that he had been to two cities, and the mortality rate seemed to be higher!

As a survivor who has lived in this world for three years, Wang Lu has experienced many cities and knows a great deal.

Clearly, in her view, this survival rate was already very high.

Wang Lu continued speaking.

"Don't be fooled by how ugly and terrifying the plants in this forest are. As long as the area near the survival road is not completely shrouded in fog, it is actually within the range where we humans can move around."

"The fact that this place is not completely covered by mist means that it has not yet been completely assimilated by the Nightmare Land."

"Many of the plants and animals inside are probably just mutated, but they are still edible."

"We just need to be careful."

"Yeah, like me."

As Wang Lu spoke, she walked two steps forward along the road with a blank expression, then squatted down, dug up a piece of black moss from the road, and put it directly into her mouth.

"Smacking sounds" are the sounds of chewing.

"Well, look, this black moss is edible. Although it tastes a bit like dead fish mixed with houttuynia cordata, and it has no nutritional value like grass, it's not poisonous."

As Wang Lu spoke, she swallowed the black moss in her mouth and nodded in satisfaction.

"Would you like some?" Wang Lu handed the remaining black moss to Zheng Sheng.

"No need," Zheng Sheng waved his hand politely. He never ate food of unknown origin.

Moreover, this thing looks and smells like it's growing from a rotting corpse.

Although Zheng Sheng didn't eat, Luo Hao in the group immediately became interested upon hearing this.

As the team's gourmet, he had to try these strange and unusual foods no matter what.

"Captain, let me do it!"

Luo Hao excitedly took the black moss from Wang Lu's hand, and first took a serious sniff. It smelled terrible, even worse than canned herring!

But it seems that it really is edible.

Luo Hao took a bite, his expression shifting from initial frowning to pain, then to relief, and finally to a relaxed look with a hint of lingering sweetness.

"Yes, she's right."

"Captain, although this thing looks smelly and disgusting, it is actually edible. With my special cooking method, I can even transform this stench into a unique aroma."

As Luo Hao spoke, he actually took out a large plastic bag from his pocket and began digging out the black moss around him with a spatula, looking very excited.

"I told you it's edible, right?" Wang Lu nodded seriously, then took another step forward and picked a palm-sized, bright red mushroom from the roadside.

"Hmm, it smells sweet."

She broke off a small piece of mushroom, about the size of a fingernail, and put it in her mouth, nodding with satisfaction as she ate.

"This is delicious, sweet, like a chocolate cream cake, with a hint of celery flavor..."

As soon as Wang Lu finished speaking, her eyes widened suddenly, and her body straightened up as if she had been electrocuted.

With a thud, she fell straight backward.

"Hey, are you alright?" Everyone was shocked to see this and quickly surrounded him.

Wang Lu was seen lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching slightly; she appeared to have been poisoned!

Compared to the nervous Zheng Sheng and the others, the big cat Mimi seemed quite used to it, calmly licking its paw.

Zheng Sheng looked at the convulsing Wang Lu and was speechless. Could the survivor he had just picked up be dead like this?

However, Zheng Sheng was clearly overthinking it.

Just a dozen seconds later, Wang Lu got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, wiped the white foam from the corner of her mouth, and once again transformed into that elegant and aloof post-apocalyptic girl.

"Hmm, this doesn't taste good, it's slightly poisonous."

The onlookers' lips twitched. "Sister, this is only slightly poisonous? You were foaming at the mouth and convulsing just now, you almost died!"

"Slightly poisonous? Let me have a bite!" Seeing this, Luo Hao, the food connoisseur in the group, insisted on trying a bite.

As expected, Luo Hao immediately kicked his legs and collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing for more than ten seconds after taking a bite.

When he woke up again, he looked like he hadn't had enough.

"Hmm, it really is slightly poisonous."

"However, if you cook it thoroughly, the toxins should be broken down, so it's safe to eat!"

Seeing that Luo Hao was alright, Zheng Sheng nodded.

It seems that food can indeed be found in this eerie forest.

"As you can see, although the plants here are terrifying, most of them should be edible."

"Please be careful when collecting, and try not to collect overly strange or unusual plants and animals."

"Although I also feel that this forest is very eerie, there is no other way now. We have used up all the relics in the team, and food and water are now the biggest problems."

"We don't know when we'll meet the next city. If we don't gather supplies here, you'll all go hungry for at least the next month."

"So collect as much as you can, as long as it's edible and collectable!"

After speaking to the main force behind him, Zheng Sheng ignored everyone else and led the group directly into the Dark Forest.

That's all he can do.

As for how many of these people will survive, that depends on themselves.

……

……

The Dark Forest.

On a giant, strange tree with a human face.

Li Chenggang led a dozen men to hide in the woods, their eyes fixed on Zheng Sheng and his group, as well as the main force, approaching from afar.

"Monkey, use your sequence abilities to see when these people arrived."

"Alright, boss!" A face crawled out from the tree branch. It looked like a monkey, thin and dark-skinned, and was a gaunt young man in his early twenties.

He flipped over and reached the top of the tree. His eyes widened suddenly, his pupils contracting and expanding like a camera, revealing the entire situation of the main force.

In his eyes, everyone had strings of numbers appearing above their heads, representing the time they were born into this world.

Furthermore, Zheng Sheng and other awakened individuals have various different shapes and colors of markings on their heads, indicating their sequence markings.

The monkey's face lit up with joy.

"Captain, great news! This team is full of rookies! We're rich!"

"I checked, and most of them have only been here for about a month, and the leading group has only been here for about three months."

"There are several dozen Awakened individuals, but they are all first-tier Awakened!"

Upon hearing the monkey's words, Li Chenggang and everyone in the team were overjoyed.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Li Chenggang was overjoyed!
