Login Rewards at a Post Apocalyptic World - Chapter 12

The pitch-black asphalt road was very wide. It was the standard four-lane road. Although it had not been affected by the flames of war during the Apocalypse War, it had cracked because no one had maintained it for nearly a century after the war.

All kinds of unknown plants tenaciously drilled out from the cracks in the road, greedily absorbing the blazing sunlight in the sky.

It was unknown whether it was because of the radiation dust or the remains of unknown biological weapons, but the shapes and colors of those plants were very suspicious. The fluorescent green and gorgeous purple on their roots and leaves were the main colors, there were some light yellow and silver gray colors mixed in between. Some of the colors bick could not accurately spell out.

Yes, each plant had several colors and shapes, and there were basically no two plants that were exactly the same.

At first, Bick was very excited when he saw the plants.

After all, ever since he transmigrated, his eyes were filled with yellow sand and desert. He could see different colors and sceneries. Only those who had truly crossed the desert on foot could understand it.

The world was long and endless. It was as if the whole world was left with him and the flying sand. That kind of loneliness could drive people crazy.

It was in this kind of loneliness that Bick was deceived by the search party. Moreover, when he first met Kate, his alertness had dropped a lot.

Initially, when he saw the scenery that was different from the desert, Bick was still very excited. He even felt a sense of happiness.

Unfortunately, the difference between the plants here and the ones before Bick’s transmigration was too stark.

If not for the fact that the buildings still looked like the original world, Gothic and Spanish style, Bick would have felt like he was in an alien planet or some magical world.

The mutation of the plants caused them to grow crazily. Bick discovered that some of the trees that looked like they were more than ten meters tall were actually weeds by the roadside, sage grass, reeds, radiation dust, and the remnants of biochemical weapons, it made these plants become tall and demonic.

Many villas were destroyed by the crazy growth of plants. Some of the buildings were even pushed up into the air by the thick plants.

“Is this the base of the survivors?” Bick’s tone was very suspicious.

When he walked out of the desert and onto the four-lane road filled with plants, he was very suspicious.

There was no transition zone between the desert and the plants. Instead, there was a clear line that could be crossed in one step.

On one side was the desert that was about to become desert, and on the other side were the plants that were growing crazily.

Most of the asphalt road was covered by plants. On some sections of the road, Bick had to get out of the car and use his machete to clean up the plants in order to allow the beach buggy to pass.

If it was a survivor base, the road would definitely not be abandoned to such a state.

The original search team had taken the gasoline with them. It could be seen that they also had vehicles to use.

Under such conditions, even small beach cars were not easy to pass, let alone other gasoline-powered vehicles.

When they reached the edge of the villa area, Bick’s suspicion grew. No matter how he looked at it, it did not look like there were people living here.

“It is not a good choice to go to the survivor base now.” Kate smiled at Bick intentionally. “When the Apocalypse War began, because this was not some industrial and agricultural area, and because it was far away from the downtown area, it was not attacked by nuclear bombs and biological weapons. After the Apocalypse War, it was searched repeatedly by the survivors. No one would pay attention to this place. “Besides, there’s nothing alive here other than mutated plants. It’s definitely a good place to recuperate.”

As she spoke, Kate directed Bick to park the beach buggy at a relatively complete gothic-style castle-villa.

She jumped down from the cart and immediately took out two sharp daggers to stand guard. Although she had introduced this place to Bick and there were no other living creatures other than mutated plants, she was still very cautious.

She didn’t let down her guard just because she had been here before.

While searching and moving forward, Kate said to Bick who was still sitting on the cart without turning her head, “I’ve been thirsty for too long and consumed too much of my stamina in the desert. I need some time to recover. Otherwise, I can’t protect you well.”

Bick understood what Kate meant. It seemed that the survivor base was not a paradise. Even if there were no zombies or mutated beasts there, it was definitely not a safe place.

That was because the danger came from the covet of the same kind.

Thinking about the slums that Kate grew up in before she traveled through the world, and how Kate treated it as a paradise for powerful nobles, it was easy to imagine what kind of lawless and chaotic place the survivor base on the wasteland was.

For a moment, Bick’s interest in the survivors’ base was greatly reduced.

However, the contempt in Kate’s words towards Bic’s strength made him very dissatisfied.

No matter what, he was a big man, and he had slaughtered hundreds of zombies in the cracks of the giant rocks.

Bick jumped down and patted the front of the beach car, “Let’s drive this over. You can rest in the car.”

Kate used her dagger to clean up the plants that were wrapped around the iron gate of the villa, without looking back, she sneered. “Forget it. Your car can only be used for field trips. In the wasteland, a car without defense and cover is the fattest lamb. It’s the same for mutated beasts, zombies, and humans.”

Hearing that, Bick became even more unconvinced. He took out his long spear and machete from the beach car and raised them with one hand and the other. “I’m not someone to be trifled with!”

At this moment, Kate cleaned up the tangled plants on the iron door. “Creak…” she pushed open the rusty iron door with force, turned around, and tilted her head at Bick, gesturing for him to drive the car in.

She felt that the first time they met was because he was ambushed by Kate, at which point she threw him over her shoulder with one swing. Bick wanted to prove to her that he was not some weakling.

Therefore, he was indifferent to Kate’s gesture. He raised the spear and knife in his hand again with a little stubbornness.

Kate shook her head in amusement. She put the two sharp daggers back into her sleeves and exercised her wrists and ankles.

Bick seemed to have realized something. He shrugged his shoulders indifferently and raised his vigilance in his heart.

The two of them nodded at each other tacitly, and Kate instantly started to move.

Bic raised his knife with one hand and raised his long spear with the other. However, he had no choice but to stop halfway.

Because Kate, who was at least six or seven meters away from him, instantly reached his side near the iron gate, and her soft little hand was already placed on his neck.

Bic swore that he had already used all his strength just now and focused all his attention on Kate, but he was still subdued in an instant.

If Kate was an enemy, the dagger in her hand would have cut his throat.

When he saw Kate’s weapons were two daggers that were only the length of her forearm, he thought it was funny.

Because in Bick’s eyes, other than guns, cold weapons were at least like Gurkha machetes. Only real weapons could be hacked. What could such a small short sword do.

Now, Bick understood.

With Kate’s strength, even a dinner knife could exert great power.
