I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 311 Entering the game
[Game Information Release:]

In 1976, in a forest in southeastern Poland, for some reason, the phenomenon of crazy trees began to appear.

Towering ancient trees rise from the ground, forming an extremely thick tree wall.These trees seem to have their own consciousness, and neither fire nor felling can stop their growth.Even with dynamite, the trees snap back the parts that were blown up with incredible speed.

The 50-meter-thick tree wall divides the forest into one area after another. From a high altitude, the structure of the entire forest looks like a huge beehive.

The "hive" covers an area of ​​about 360 square kilometers. With the spread of the forest, the residents of the nearby towns quickly fell into a state of isolation and helplessness: their nightmares are not only those endless and crazy trees and famine, but also outbreaks in the forest. A strange plague.

The plague comes from a bright red mushroom that pulsates like a blood vessel that grows from the ground.After eating this mushroom, hungry villagers and animals began to lose their minds and their bodies were severely mutated.

That same year, the Polish military intervened in the incident.While incendiary bombing the heavily infected areas, the military used helicopters and trucks to rescue the aborigines in some forests.

Even so, there are still some villagers near the center of the forest who have completely lost contact with the outside world.

The news reached Moscow. At the time of the Cold War, the Soviet government wanted to use the response of mushrooms to the human body to develop biological weapons to compete with the United States.

Moscow sent engineering troops into Poland to start excavation work. Within three years, part of the tunnel network under the forest had been basically completed. Different tunnels have different numerical codes, and they are named from number one, and so on.

In the same year, 1976, the Forest Survey Committee was established.

Moscow urgently recruited scientists from across Eastern Europe, known as Forest Watchers.Under the protection of the military, forest observers followed the team into the forest. Their task was to investigate the truth of the forest covered by trees.

In 1979, under the authorization of the investigation committee, the Marchek team entered tunnel No. 21 and headed for a forest area.

The overgrown trees cover the sky and the sun, so that it is as difficult to see in the forest during the day as it is at night.Therefore, every member who enters the forest needs to be equipped with a lot of lighting equipment.

On the second day after entering the forest, the team arrived at the shelter code-named 3C and lit a gas stove for the night.

At night, the team camp was attacked by mysterious forces. After a fierce exchange of fire, a soldier died, a researcher was seriously injured and lost contact with the team. The Macek team chose to retreat.

In the following ten years, the Soviet government successively sent several teams into the forest, but in the end they all lost contact.

Since then, the 3C area has been temporarily closed, and the tunnels criss-crossing under the forest have also been permanently closed due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, and no one can enter or exit.

This piece of land has been forgotten since then, only the indecipherable words rusted by wind and rain on the signboard on the cold barbed wire remain:
"Dark Forest"

【Precautions:】

After the game starts, players will enter the forest as observers. Before approaching the [Tree Heartland], all players will lose the right to use abilities and props.During this period, it is necessary to find shelters and discarded props to ensure self-survival.

There was a strange stench in the air, and a bleak wind mixed with strange cries passed by his ears. When Ling Yun opened his eyes again, there was already a deep and dense forest in front of him.All around are tall, twisted trees, and the ground is covered with mossy vines and dead leaves.

The light in the forest was dim, and it was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the surroundings.With the help of a few rays of light shining in through the branches and leaves of the trees, Ling Yun could clearly see the figures of his companions around him.

Due to Lin Qing's arrival, the team increased its personnel and exceeded the upper limit of the mission. After comprehensively considering everyone's abilities, Li Xinjian and Pan Rong voluntarily chose to withdraw, and the remaining members all participated in the battle.

"Something's wrong here, everyone turn on the flashlights and watch out for the surroundings." After landing, Ling Yun didn't have time to communicate with his companions, Ling Yun keenly caught the strange movement coming from the dark depths behind him.

After a long period of training, the whole team has developed an amazing tacit understanding.

"It sounds like a dog whimpering." Su Li made a silent gesture, and on the other side, Shen Tinglan in the center of the crowd quickly unloaded the bag on his back and quickly searched for the equipment inside.

Now everyone is wearing dark brown camouflage jumpsuits, rubber shoes, and an RD-54 canvas bag on the back.

There are shovels, lunch boxes, raincoats, sleeping bags, blankets, armed belts, gas masks and other equipment in the backpack. The only thing that can be used as a weapon is the black engineer shovel.

Everyone quickly took out the lighting equipment at their waists and looked around. Soon, they saw the criss-crossing tree roots protruding from the nearby ground.

And in the open space three meters away from everyone, there was a wild dog lying in a pool of blood.

At this moment, the wild dog was dying. It was sticking out its tongue, and its mouth was covered with black blood foam; Sourced here.

"There's something wrong with this dog." Su Li frowned.

Under the light of the flashlight, everyone found that the hair on the black wild dog's body had fallen off, and the outer skin was rotten. Only the dark red muscle tissue was exposed in sight, and the ribs below were even visible.

The wild dog's pupils are red, and the whites of the eyes are bloodshot; and its teeth and claws are very sharp, much longer than ordinary canine animals.

"Look, there seems to be a red mushroom under that dog... This should be the mutated poisonous mushroom mentioned in the information!" Soon, the sharp-eyed Wei Chongming noticed the key point.

"This wild dog ate red mushrooms by mistake, and it will mutate soon."

The moment she realized the crisis, Shen Tinglan decisively picked up the engineer shovel and stepped forward, hitting the wild dog's head hard.He did this to end the suffering of the wild dog, and to prevent it from mutating and attacking his group.

Ling Yun took out the map. According to the mark on it, the 3C area they are in now is located in the southwestern edge of the forest, and there is still a lot of distance from the [Tree Heartland] mentioned in the mission.

In addition to being physically stronger, everyone is no different from ordinary people today, and supplies are scarce in the forest, and crises lurk everywhere. Facing those unknown enemies and mutant creatures, the equipment in the backpack is not enough.

If you want to survive, you must first find a safe place, and secondly, find food and make weapons for self-defense.

On the other side, Su Li came under a tree with a flashlight and carefully observed the red poisonous mushroom in front of him.She has a military manual in her hand, which is also an item in the backpack, which records many military investigation materials about this forest.

"This red mushroom is poisonous, but not easily fatal. It bursts when trampled on, and it releases spores and poisonous gas. This amount can poison people, dizziness, limb weakness. Not only that , People, animals and insects who eat this red mushroom will mutate. This red mushroom forest is everywhere, and everyone who sees it must stay away.”

"It seems that this treasure hunt will be a rigorous assessment of survival in the wild. I'm afraid it will take at least half a month just to find the heart of the tree." Lin Qing frowned.

Su Li glanced at his watch, got up and said to everyone: "It's four o'clock in the afternoon, we must find a shelter before dark. Otherwise, there will be a bigger crisis when night falls."
