A notification tone sounded in my ear.

Zheng Sheng looked over and saw that the red apple in his hand suddenly shrank, and at the same time, a wisp of black smoke floated out of the apple and disappeared into the air.

As the black mist disappeared, the appearance of the flesh and blood fruit also underwent a dramatic change.

The bright red and delicious apple's exterior has vanished, and the tempting red apple has turned into a palm-sized meatball, just like a bunch of grapes crowded together, covered with fine blood vessels and veins.

At the same time, the alluring fragrance disappeared, leaving only the smell of blood.

[Item]: Flesh Fruit

[Quality]: Rare Item (Blue)

[Introduction]: A flesh-and-blood fruit was born from the mutation of a thousand-year-old banyan tree, containing powerful blood and qi energy.

[Effect]: Consuming this product can permanently enhance physical fitness, improve body genes, and continuously strengthen the physical body.

Note: The Blood and Flesh Fruit contains a large amount of blood and qi. If a large amount is consumed in a short period of time and cannot be digested quickly, the body will continue to grow and the flesh will become incredibly delicious.

……

Looking at the attribute panel of the Flesh and Blood Fruit, Zheng Sheng was somewhat surprised. The evolved Flesh and Blood Fruit could indeed strengthen one's physique.

"That Xiyue didn't lie to me after all, but I'll still feel more at ease eating it with some extra."

The Lei peach incident in Shaluo County serves as a cautionary tale; if he had eaten it back then, he might have been in big trouble!

Although he didn't know what the Lei Lei Peach and the black aura of this flesh-and-blood fruit represented, he knew with his own eyes that they weren't good things!

"But what does the last sentence on the panel mean? It says that if you eat it, it won't be digested, your body will grow, and your meat will become more delicious?"

Zheng Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still ate the flesh and blood fruit in his hand.

His body is strong enough now to absorb it, and the fruit has already been enhanced by the system, so it's definitely safe.

As the flesh and blood fruit entered his stomach, Zheng Sheng felt a warm current flowing through his body.

Upon opening the panel, he discovered that his physique had increased by 5 points, and his body had been strengthened once again.

"Great stuff! My physical constitution limit has increased by 5 points. I should have accepted Xiyue's gift earlier."

Zheng Sheng was overjoyed. The Divine Tree Sect must have many more of these Flesh and Blood Fruits. If he could obtain them and use them after adding points, his physical body would probably become even stronger!

"However, the description says a thousand-year-old banyan tree mutated. Could this thing be the divine tree they're talking about?"

Zheng Sheng quickly calmed down.

"Last time, that mutated century-old peach tree was targeted by a nightmare-level monster. Could this thousand-year-old mutated banyan tree...?"

Zheng Sheng became increasingly uneasy as he thought about it, and finally gave up his plan to go to the Divine Tree Sect to obtain the Flesh and Blood Fruit.

"Forget it, this place feels a bit eerie, we'd better run!"

Since arriving in this dark forest, he has found that his senses have greatly diminished, and not only him, but also Little Blackie.

Clearly, there must be something terrifying still lurking in this forest, just not yet awakened.

"The best solution is to collect the supplies and leave as soon as possible!"

Zheng Sheng added two more blood apples, consuming another 4000 survival points. However, he didn't eat them immediately but carefully put them away, planning to eat them later after his stomach had digested.

After adding the Blood Flesh Fruit, Zheng Sheng picked up the worn-out notebook in front of him.

The notebook wasn't thick, but it was filled with writing; it seemed to be Liao Changguo's diary.

Zheng Sheng picked up the diary and began to read it carefully.

……

……

My name is Liao Changguo.

A sniper from the 7th Company, 7th Battalion, 13th Brigade.

Two years have passed since the Black Tide descended, and a large number of people have gone missing. Many cities are shrouded in the Black Tide, and no one has been able to escape from it.

...Suddenly, an urgent mission was assigned from above, requiring the selection of a group of elites to investigate the situation within the Black Tide... Many dared not go, because none of the previous expedition teams had ever returned alive...

...I volunteered to join the vanguard to explore the Black Tide...

...Perhaps I can find my parents in the Black Tide and bring them back...

...I don't like keeping a diary, but my superiors said that if I die...maybe the diary will be seen by someone else...

Everyone should keep a record!

……

Day 1.

I came to Shanghai and, because I used to be a sniper, I became a sniper in the 7th Company, 7th Battalion of the 13th Brigade.

Many leaders came to see us off, and they also brought several experts with them; it seemed they wanted to enter the Kuroshio Pass with us.

Our target this time is a residential community with 5000 residents.

A month ago, the entire Garden Community was swallowed by a black tide, and none of the more than 5000 people who lived there managed to escape.

...We are about to enter...Garden Community...

……

Day two.

That's incredible!

After entering the Black Tide, we found ourselves in an unknown world... The Garden Residential Area was still there, but it was shrouded in mist... There were many monsters in the mist, and we absolutely could not leave the area, or we would be eaten by them...

I felt very uneasy. The sky here was too dark, and even the air smelled bad... And the whole neighborhood was too quiet... I didn't see a single person... Where did all 5000 people go?

……

……

Day three.

There's a monster in the neighborhood... no, not a monster, it's a ghost, a creep! It's invisible, but everyone who dies says they saw it; it's eating people...

Many members of the vanguard exploration team died because of a single, bizarre creature that killed ten people in a single day, and it seems to be getting stronger...

If this continues, we'll all be dead in a few days... No, we have to escape this neighborhood...

……

Fourth day.

I have awakened!

Wang Zhigang and Zhang Tie also awakened, as did another expert...

But everyone died, all of them died!

That strange creature mutated; it ate everyone and seemed to have become stronger!

We were trapped in the basement, but Wang Zhigang's abilities protected us...

However, we've run out of supplies...

Without food and water, we will all die within a few days at most!

……

……

The ninth day.

Wang Zhigang and I escaped; we couldn't hide there any longer.

Zhang Tie has also turned into a monster!

That weird creature chased after us too. We escaped to the rooftop of the residential complex, which was covered in corpses, just corpses everywhere!

No wonder they couldn't find anyone in the community; it turns out the 5000 people who disappeared from the community were on the rooftop all along!

They were piled up on the rooftop like a heap of rotting dead fish, covered in flies as big as fists.

The flies were watching me, and I could even hear them talking in my ear.

"Eat! Eat! Let's eat together!"

……

……

The seventeenth day.

Wang Zhigang and I escaped from the residential area, entirely thanks to Wang Zhigang's abilities.

It turns out that highways without fog are safe.

As long as you're on the road, the eerie feeling will be greatly reduced, and if you don't get detected by the other party, you can escape the eerie pursuit.

but……

I've recently noticed that Wang Zhigang is always looking down and talking to himself... His eyes are bulging like a frog's, and he's constantly swallowing... and the way he looks at himself...

He looks very hungry!
