Chapter 709 - 334: Shadow Mutation (Part 1)
Day 74: With the second group of Auto Turrets destroyed by Little Fight, Lin Ma finally stepped onto Highway 99. Now, they were a mere 250 kilometers away from Left County. Before, 250 kilometers seemed so far, requiring a lot of fuel, but for Lin Ma, who had already traveled thousands of kilometers, 250 kilometers was nothing.
Still, 250 kilometers couldn’t be covered in one jump. After 9 hours of travel, they covered 200 kilometers. Around 9 o’clock at night, after some calculations confirmed they couldn’t reach Shadow, they set up camp by the side of the highway.
One big reason for choosing this spot was the view of North City. The highway was about 20 kilometers away from North City, which was brightly lit and looked stunning at night.
The next morning, North City overturned Lin Ma’s impression of it. It was a rare river city with interlacing waterways. Because of its foundations, the west side of North City was all low-rise buildings, and in this area, boats might be more important than cars.
The southeast of North City was filled with towering skyscrapers, a typical commercial district. The southwest was the industrial new zone. Outside the city to the east was a vast plain wetland, cut into pieces by several rivers. From a distance, the green expanse of the wetlands swayed with the wind, a breathtaking scene bestowed by nature.
Breakfast was still smoked meat, and Lin Ma was almost sick of it, but he had to eat. Both of them grabbed a piece of smoked meat and, facing the rising sun, chewed and swallowed it mechanically, their longing for grains etched deep in their hearts.
They packed up the tent at nine in the morning and continued on their journey. Their conversations were more numerous and lasted longer. Maya had completely relaxed as well.
About 20 kilometers away from Left County, a farm consisting of a few simple buildings appeared by the side of the road. A battle was unfolding on the farm, with a player or NPC wielding a pistol, using the farm’s fences to kite around more than a dozen zombies in circles.
