Chapter 431

The bark had faded, revealing a dry and exposed wooden surface;

The branches stretched toward the sky, but there was no longer a single green leaf;

The lush canopy was left with only a gray-white desert.

Captain Juno narrowed his eyes slightly, his blue eyeballs constantly turning, jumping on tree after tree.

He clearly remembered the environment around the cemetery when they set off.

But now, everything had become seemingly different.

Places that were once blooming with wildflowers and lush with moss were now silent.

Even the wild grass had all withered, revealing the hard-as-stone earth below.

It seemed that the world was dead.

And, the more he stayed here, the more Captain Juno noticed a more abnormal phenomenon.

It was too quiet here.

Just then, a faint wind blew, rolling up dry fallen leaves, making a crisp sound.

Like chewing potato chips.

But there was only the smell of dust.

Captain Juno slowly turned his body, filming the surrounding scenery as much as possible.

"Okay, mm... it looks like there are no living plants at all 3.0—trees, grass, everything is dead."

The command center's words continued:

"Temperature reading is 24C. Sounds normal?"

The sound of living people made these agents feel relieved.

They were very afraid of not receiving communication from the command center again.

But the situation was not what they had guessed.

At least, this was not their world.

At least, their people were all still alive.

—Faith is crucial to these people who are going to die.

Captain Juno looked up at the sky.

The clouds moved slowly, like dense feathers, gently covering the sun.

It looked like there was no problem.

It looked like.

"Confirmed. Very pleasant. Cloudy, but the wind is not strong."

"Understood. Continue to advance, pay attention to looking for any housing."

Devonshire felt a little uneasy in his heart:

"Is this the place we just left?"

Command:

"We are confirming. Can you identify anything?"

Carl took a deep breath:

"If you go up this mountain, there should be a road over there, the one we came from."

Captain Juno nodded:

"Advance toward there."

Subsequently, the entire team fell into silence; no one spoke to communicate, and no one intended to joke.

This world is too bizarre.

No insects, no birds, only the sound of wind, and the crackling sound of dry trees.

An uneasy atmosphere spread in this silence.

The four agents were highly tense.

Every time they walked a distance, they had to stop, count the number of people, and confirm each other's status.

Not long after, they saw the road, the road they came from.

Winding in the mountains, stretching into the distance.

Disappearing at the end of a white forest.
