Nothing unusual happened along the way. Little monsters and the like were basically no match for my M500, but one mutant plant I encountered did catch my attention.
It was a giant pitcher plant.
It didn't attack me, since it couldn't move, but I saw with my own eyes as it swallowed a Frog whole.
A five-meter-long Frog!
Swallowed whole.
The gigantic pitcher plant was truly fearsome, but it could probably only eat creatures with low intelligence. Anything smarter wouldn't go near it—though of course, there might be special circumstances.
Its appearance made me a little wary of plants, too.
It was common knowledge that plants couldn't move, but... with the virus acting as a catalyst, who could say whether they might evolve higher intelligence and the ability to move in order to obtain more nutrients? They might even develop some kind of predatory ability instead of just waiting for prey to come to them.
I was a little conflicted about it, but at least it wasn't something I needed to worry about right now.
Still, it never hurt to be careful.
I didn't want to get caught off guard one day and end up in a real mess.
At that thought, I glanced at my surroundings. The area was surrounded by rolling mountain ranges, and it was incredibly quiet. If it weren't for the torrential rain, the scenery around here would have been well worth seeing.
I was on a large bridge in the urban area of Hanzhong. Its sign had fallen down, so I didn't know which bridge it was on the map.
But this river... was it the Han River?
Judging by the compass and the bridge's north-south orientation, it should be Tianhan Bridge.
