Chapter 523: How Do You Know What You Killed Was a Mutant, Not a Human?
"If I wanted to make a move, I would have cooperated with Kang Yongjie and the others earlier," Xu Huo said calmly, "Don't worry, I still know the rules on this."
Yi Mao smiled, "I could tell from the start you were different from the rest. As long as we all get out alive, I'll prepare a generous reward. Whether you've cleared the dungeon or not, the trip won't be wasted."
Xu Huo nodded in thanks.
The five of them then continued onward following the directions marked on the map.
The farther they went, the higher the temperature rose. Wearing the protective suits made everyone feel stifled. Not just Yi Mao and Wan Xiao, even Liang Song involuntarily slowed his pace under these conditions.
Their drinking water was being used up faster than expected. Liang Song topped up supplies twice before they reached the junction between the Gobi Area and the Swamp Area.
"So this is the Swamp Area?" Xu Huo looked at the dark, mudlike ground ahead, where large patches of surface reflected water. It was obviously waterlogged marshland—places you couldn't walk across, with no clean water or animals. Far ahead there was only a distant smattering of green and some indistinct low hills.
"The Swamp Area keeps changing, the old map might not be one hundred percent accurate. Once we go in, we have to be more careful," Yi Mao said. "Avoid places that glint with water. If you step into those, it's hard to get out. Try to walk in cracked channels, and be cautious."
Xu Huo watched the others stow their guns. "Cars can't come in, and flight devices can't either? The best way to get through the Swamp Area would be by air. The Gobi Area and the Swamp Area are both worthless for trekking on foot."
