The Highest Bounty 40 Liliath

Not far away from the coastline, there was a forest.

"The area of ​​this forest is very large, making it impossible to bypass it. You should go straight through it, although it is definitely more dangerous than being on the beach." Neptune suggested.

Not long after Gu Ding had begun running, he got the feeling as though he were being watched. The creature staring it bore a ghastly killing intention. Gu Ding was born with a great sensitivity to killing intent, so he was aware of it right off the bat.

"A monster is staring at you, be careful!" At this time, Neptune also became alert as the other party had entered Neptune's detection range. Due to the limit of his detection range, his awareness was actually a step slower than that of Gu Ding's. However, his detection was much more detailed than Gu Ding's simple hunch. "It's just at the level of first-order gene body. If you want to fight, try to finish it off as quickly as possible to avoid attracting other virus-infected creatures. You should also pay attention not to touch the bodily fluids. The information in the scientific research room shows that the early stage of this virus is spread through body fluids."

"Got it!" Gu Ding nodded slightly. He did not slow down at all. If he could get rid of the guy by leaving it in his dust, then there was no need to waste time fighting it.

After stalking for a while, the pair of eyes behind Gu Ding finally attacked as it could not hold back anymore.

Only then did Gu Ding see the beast, which was a huge feline creature. It had three eyes, but did not have the elegance of an ordinary feline. It was covered with muscles, such that even its black fur was sparse.

Gu Ding turned his body around. He lashed out with a backhand strike, hitting the head of the giant feline. The mutated beast was instantly killed. Gu Ding did not even slow down as he trudged on. However, he could not help but criticize, "Are all the creatures on this planet so ugly looking?"

"Don't forget that you are also on this planet too." Neptune 'kindly' reminded.

Gu Ding choked when he heard this. He did not say anything for a while.

Gu Ding encountered many similar creatures, mostly ugly, like they had been mutated by radiation. They were all killed by Gu Ding in a single blow without any delay.

However, Gu Ding vaguely felt a sense of unease as the sky gradually dimmed.

Neptune soon confirmed that his uneasiness was justified, "At night, the fighting power of these creatures will double. Some powerful creatures who are sleeping during the day will also wake up at night and look for food. According to the remaining research data, this virus is afraid of ultraviolet radiation and hates high temperatures. It also likes humid and cold environments. Therefore, my suggestion is to find a safe place to hide. "

"This forest is their territory and your detection range is limited. How will you find a safe place?" Gu Ding felt that Neptune's proposal was not reliable.

"I have a map of this forest. There is an active volcano about five kilometres ahead. The ground temperature is very high, making it a place where those infected with the virus will probably not go." Neptune knew the weaknesses of these virus-infected creatures, so he had found a safe point for Gu Ding beforehand.

A few minutes later, Gu Ding rushed to the base of the active volcano. There were several virus-infected creatures wandering at the foot of the volcano. However, they did not dare to climb any further.

Gu Ding rushed straight up by climbing to the mouth of the volcano, filling his nose with the pungent smell of sulfur. He looked down. Within the volcano, the magma was bubbling like boiling water.

"This volcano won't erupt, right?" Gu Ding could not help asking.

"There will be signs before the eruption. You can rest assured that you will definitely be able to escape if that were to happen. It's better than having you be chased and killed by those virus-infected creatures all night..." without finishing his sentence, Neptune fell silent.

"There is a person under this volcano!" Neptune suddenly shouted, "It doesn't look like they were infected by the virus."

Neptune spoke while the video of the other party was projected in front of Gu Ding's eyes.

It was a little girl who looked around the age of 13 and 14. She looked beautiful and sweet. However, her clothes were torn apart. Her red hair was also messy. As she slept, her appearance reminded Gu Ding of the little beggar who begged along the street of Cerule.

"She can sleep in this kind of environment? How does she do it?" Gu Ding felt disbelief. There were a lot of toxic gases like sulfur dioxide near the volcano. Moreover, it was at least a few hundred degrees inside, enough to roast ordinary people. However, looking at the state of the other person, she seemed to be enjoying her sleep.

"Her wristwatch has an air purification function and temperature adjustment function. Neptune explained, "So, she will not be poisoned, nor does she have to be afraid of the ambient temperature."

"She shouldn't be an infected person, right?" Gu Ding asked uncertainly.

"Looking at the operating state of her wristwatch, she should be alright. People infected by this virus will only have the instinct to kill, with there being no need to sleep at all." Neptune could only make a speculative judgment based on the knowledge he had.

"I'm saying hello!" Gu Ding grinned. He threw a pebble into the hole after picking it up from his feet.

'Plop!' The stone made a sound after falling into the magma.

The little girl suddenly turned over and sat up. With a long sniper rifle in her hand, she aimed at Gu Ding and started shooting.

Catching Gu Ding off guard, he quickly dodged. However, a bullet still grazed Gu Ding's arm, drawing a streak of blood on his arm.

Stepping back, Gu Ding shouted, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Are you human?!" The girl seemed a little surprised. She climbed up from the bottom of the volcano in just a few jumps.

Gu Ding realized that, although the other party looked young, her strength was incredible. He laughed, "If I'm not human, what else would I be?"

"Do you have food?" The girl's second reaction also caught him off guard

"Just some compressed food," Gu Ding said while taking out the tube of compressed food that he had eaten before. He handed it to the other party.

The girl picked it up and squeezed the entire tube of compressed food into her mouth. After she was finished, she squeezed again from the bottom of the tube.

Gu Ding passed her a bottle of water. The little girl took a few sips. This was the third time she spoke, "I'm sorry about what happened just now. I thought you were a virus-infected monster. I've been constantly keeping alert these past few days and it has become a habit. I would instinctively shoot even when the changes in my surroundings are minute."

"How long have you been on this planet?" Gu Ding was curious about her.

"About ten days or so." The little girl gave her answer after thinking for a while.

"Have you been hiding here all this time?" Gu Ding was a little surprised. It was not surprising that Neptune knew the weaknesses of these virus-infected creature as he was already connected to the planet's network yet, this little girl knew about it too.

"This forest is too big, it's as if there's no end to it. I can't get out at all. I accidentally discovered that those infected with the virus do not dare to come near this place, so I had no choice but to stay here." The little girl quelled Gu Ding's suspicions.

"My name is Gu Ding, what is your name?" Gu Ding remembered that he did not even know the name of the other person.

"Liliath..."
