Chapter 198: Comprehensive Upgrade of Battle System

Outside the Central State Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base, pine trees laden with accumulated snow stretched from the edge of the enclosing wall all the way to the abandoned town at the bottom of the gentle slope.

The tallest buildings here were no more than three stories high, and most were single-level residences with garages and swimming pools. Occasionally, one could glimpse a few homes with unique designs, likely belonging to research personnel from the nearby experimental base.

However, regardless of who these places once belonged to, they were now thoroughly abandoned.

Frozen vines had crawled from the front yard into the houses, while bushes had grown in the dusty garages. The roots of the vegetation had penetrated the concrete paths and the enclosing walls, and lush trees filled the forgotten corners, even growing out of some wooden house rooftops.
