The county road is the first hurdle. The road surface has collapsed in many places, with frequent appearances of infected bodies and mutant beasts, especially near the section Cheng Ye marked out as the ruins of "Wenlu County," where infected bodies often wander and mutant beasts attack humans in packs.
The last 7 kilometers of rural road are even more challenging, entirely dirt tracks, and when it rains, they inevitably become muddy and impassable.
In addition, when the Lin River rises, this part is bound to be flooded, and even navigating with a boat might become difficult then.
Interspersed among the pages are annotations of high-risk points along the route.
The ruins of Wenlu County remain the number one threat; once a county seat of the old era, it has now become a nest for infection sources.
Despite the extensive and ongoing cleanup efforts by Happiness City over the years, new sources of infection continue to emerge relentlessly.
