Li Zhong followed Old Tom and slowly left the potion store under Rick's gaze and headed towards the northernmost part of the entire cavity. There was a tunnel more than two meters high, and it was deep and connected to it.

After entering the tunnel, the two walked along the tunnel and headed forward. The tunnel was filled with ferns and dwarf luminous plants, which were unique to this era and survived by absorbing dark matter as nutrients.

As time passed, the two of them had been walking in the tunnel for more than half an hour. As the two of them moved forward, the tunnel became smaller and smaller, only one meter high and lower. On the way, they passed several guards with live ammunition.

The two bent over and worked hard to walk through the cave. Old Tom said to Li Zhong: "This tunnel was dug on purpose, and the more we reach the exit, the smaller it is. It can greatly prevent the dark beast from discovering the existence here, and at the same time it can prevent any dark beast from passing quickly."

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the two of them could almost lie on the ground and slowly crawled away. Soon, Old Tom said to Li Zhong: "Boy Li Zhong, there is the exit in front of you. I'll remind you first. Once you go out, you will definitely not be allowed to talk nonsense. You also need to put on a gas mask."

After hearing Old Tom's words, Li Zhong immediately took out the gas mask, covered it on his head, and was fully armed.

As old Tom disappeared in front of Li Zhong's eyes, Li Zhong immediately knew that the tunnel had ended.

Li Zhong climbed out of the tunnel and immediately found that in a circular pit of two meters wide and several meters deep, there were countless moss shiny plants growing on the walls of the caves. A series of thick black fogs enveloped the two, making the light emitted by the moss dimmed a lot.

Seeing these dark fogs, a message "dark matter" flashed through Li Zhong's mind.

Dark matter, according to the information in his mind, is a half-matter and half-energy thing. It can be turned into matter using special methods, or it can be turned into energy, perfectly turning the theory of energy and matter into reality, and is the greatest energy and driving force in this world.

Legend has it that mobile cities are the ultimate human technology manifestation created by completely using dark matter materialization, and the energy system in it is also used as the energy of mobile cities.

Li Zhong was slightly excited, and Old Tom immediately noticed that he punched him hard, and a stern light flashed in his eyes, as if he was dissatisfied with Li Zhong's carelessness.

Li Zhong felt Old Tom's concern, and quickly came to his senses, nodded, and signaled that he knew.

At this time, Old Tom gestured with gestures and asked Li Zhong to follow him. Then Old Tom took out a small conical object from his arms and inserted it deeply into the hole wall of the pit, revealing only a small black part.

After doing everything, Old Tom was the first to climb out of the pit. After a moment, he stretched out his head and waved to Li Zhong, asking him to come up.

Li Zhong did not hesitate, and his body moved, exerting force under his feet, and the muscles were connected together. The huge force was transmitted from his feet to the pit. He rushed out of the pit immediately, and then landed lightly without making any sound.

Seeing Li Zhong's posture and elegant body movements, Old Tom's eyes flashed and he applauded secretly.

When he arrived on the earth, Li Zhong looked around and suddenly a boundless beautiful scroll swept over.

The entire sky was shrouded in infinite black fog, and the visibility was only a few hundred meters. The two of them were in a forest at this time, with giant trees or short ferns everywhere. Countless colorful lights emanating from various plants, illuminating hundreds of meters of space, and a colorful field. The mystery of nature was fully displayed in Li Zhong's sight.

The memories in the mind of the "ex-father" owner flashed like water. At this moment, Li Zhong really felt that this was a magical and incredible era, and dark matter brought infinite possibilities and the sublimation of life.

Looking at this beautiful and spectacular scene, Li Zhong couldn't help but stand a moment. At this moment, Old Tom suddenly said, "Okay, don't look at it, what's so good about it? When you hunt yourself in the future, you will get tired of it. When there is no dark beast in the sight, you can speak without fear of being noticed. After exceeding a certain distance, the sound waves will be weakened to nothing by these countless dark matter."

Li Zhong looked at Old Tom and said, "How could you get tired of such a spectacular scene? It's so beautiful, the light in the night, the miracle of the forest, the magical era, our era."

A trace of sadness flashed in Old Tom's eyes and said, "But it is also a cruel era, and you will understand in the future."

After Old Tom said this, he took out something like a tablet from his arms, with a red highlight flashing on it and two blue highlights. Li Zhong immediately recognized what it was.

Dark matter has arrived, electromagnetic waves in previous eras were blocked, and all known communication tools have almost lost their effectiveness. Since humans re-established the kingdom and studied dark matter through scientific research, people have discovered a new communication method, dark overclocking resonance.

Through the principle of dark resonance, humans have once again achieved long-distance communication and positioning. Old Tom is holding the positioning device that everyone who acts outside must master. Without this thing, then getting lost in the dark world would be 100%.

Getting lost in the dark world means being sentenced to death, unless you are a person at the level of a dark strongman and are still living.

Li Zhong recalled the cone that Old Tom buried in the pit just now, and immediately knew that it was the source of resonance.

Old Tom said to Li Zhong: "Let's go, let's collect the blue rain flowers first."

Li Zhong followed Old Tom to the south. Along the way, Old Tom kept introducing Li Zhong to the plants and animals around the ground, those were dangerous and those things were safe.

"That's the Black Widow's Poison Spider, an insect-type dark beast. Don't mess with it. It's highly poisonous. One milligram of venom can poison a level 20 black warrior."

"The one with seven leaves on the ground is human-shaped grass. Don't you buy it often? You can come out and collect it yourself in the future."

"That's the man-eating vine. You have to be careful. The man-eating vine is not a simple thing. Even if it is caught by it in the first phase, it cannot break free. However, it also has weaknesses and is extremely afraid of fire. As long as you light a torch in your hand, you can scare it away."

Li Zhong learned from Old Tom's jungle experience along the way. These things can also be learned in the city of dusk, but the actual experience is another matter.

Li Zhong's heart was twisted and he thought to himself: "It seems that the forest is not only beautiful, but also dangerous. If I came out alone, I might have turned into a pile of stinky meat now."

After feeling emotion in his heart, Li Zhong continued to follow Old Tom, alerting to the highest point, sensing all crises and dangers.
