Leaving the garrison fortress, Chen Chuan saw that the vegetation outside had grown much denser, as if he had stepped straight into a thick jungle.
Usually, the vegetation within a three-to-five-kilometer radius of a garrison was cleared out. In its place were reaction outposts armed with machine guns, surrounded by trenches and barbed wire.
This way, neither local creatures nor remnants of the Old Imperial Family could approach easily. It also provided a degree of separation from the anomalies of the night.
But what lay before him was a simulation. They certainly wouldn't waste resources simulating an entire Merging Land; this was likely just a demonstration of a specific area.
And so, after walking only a few dozen paces, he and Chen Bitong arrived at the edge of a lake. Within the dense fog, a massive creature seemed to be moving, its form faint and indistinct.
As the two drew closer, Chen Chuan got a clear look at the creature.
