At midnight, the mining area started on time, the guards all returned to their posts, and Wu Qi led the hunting team towards the mountain again.
Time flies by, and the orange-red sunset sets on the other side of the wasteland in the East Canyon, and the dark night and the bright moon occupy the sky again.
Wu Qi and others returned to the mining area beyond the time stipulated in the plan. Moli stood in the most conspicuous position of the mining area, arms folded, looking at Wu Qi who had returned.
"Report to the captain, there is nothing wrong." Wu Qiru said.
"Go back to the camp. Starting from tomorrow night, the escort team will resume high-intensity vigilance at night." Molly said calmly.
That night, Morley re-implemented the "Night Fortress". The 18 soldiers are divided into three groups, and they attack one post every two hours. One group must be on duty for two consecutive posts before resting, so as to ensure that if there is an enemy attack at night, two-thirds of the soldiers can be stationed on the front immediately. .
The night is clear and the moon is bright, and the soldiers on duty can see the stars in the sky when they look up. In that time when people are nervous all the time but don't know when the danger will come, the bright light of the stars is the only thing in the silent night that can give people peace of mind and beauty.
One night passed, and no plague species came close to the mining area. Looking at the dim light of the morning, most of the soldiers were thankful for their good luck overnight, but not Wu Qi and Mo Li.
It is the fifth month to last, and it is still five months before the escort team can evacuate the mining area. The activities and rest arrangements of the mining area personnel were the same as before. When the guards set off to their posts, Wu Qi walked up to Mo Li.
"I beg you to go to the back mountain?" Mo Li looked calm but was slightly surprised on the outside.
Last night he thought about letting Wu Qi lead the hunting team to explore the back mountain. The back mountain is much more dangerous than the mountains and forests near the mining area, but since the hunting team rejects Wu Qi's proposal, he must take responsibility. If there is no result, he must continue to go deeper. Mo Li had already thought about it. If Wu Qi didn't agree, he had many ways to cure Wu Qi.
But Mo Li never thought about letting the hunting team go to the back mountain so early. It turns out that Wu Qi proposed it first.
"No, he believes that the progress of exploration cannot be delayed. The mining area was not attacked by a plague species yesterday, which is an abnormality." Wu Qidao.
Mo Li glanced at Miranda standing in the distance, then looked back at Wu Qi. His crimson eyes were naturally fierce, but at this moment they did not show any evil intentions.
"The danger in the back mountain is unknown. I can go, but if his cronies make any mistakes, he will ask me whether he will."
Wu Qi agreed, then turned and left.
The three people's backs gradually disappeared from Moli's sight. Moli took a deep look at Wu Qi's back, and then stepped into his own post.
Wu Qi had memorized the topography of the forest in front of the mountain. Stepping on the land he knew so well, Wu Qi felt a sense of security from the bottom of his heart. That time it took them half an hour to reach the top of the front mountain and stand at the junction of the front mountain and the back mountain range.
Wu Qi resolutely took a step towards the slope due east.
When the No. 130 Gauss Stone Mining Area was first developed, miners established a mining area in the valley under the protection of the first escort team. At that time, under the harassment of deafening large machines, a large number of plague species living in the mountain forests came out. They followed their instincts and went all out to eliminate the convoys in the mining area. However, in front of the solid defense line formed by the convoys, the attacking plague species piled up into mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the entire front mountain fell into silence as if it were empty.
Once the front mountain is empty, plague species that originally did not belong to the ecological territory of the front mountain will come to the front mountain and carve up the ownerless territory. In this way, there will be more plague species in the front mountain. They attacked the mining area and were eliminated by the escort. Behind the back mountain are mountains stretching for dozens of kilometers.
Looking at the ecosystem of the entire mountain range, how many plague species have been bred in it? The real number will always exceed human expectations, and even the most astute hunter cannot predict it.
Wu Qi and others set foot in the forest in the back mountain. The trees here are as tall as five or six stories high, as if they reach into the sky and clouds. The land to the east is more green, and the leaves of the bushes unexpectedly see a lot of dew.
There are windward slopes and sunny slopes, where the humidity is heavier, the wind speed is higher, and the temperature is lower. Hunters who are familiar with forest ecology know that even a slight change in environmental attributes can create completely different biological populations in two adjacent forests. The harshness of the living environment can directly affect the evolutionary intensity of organisms. .
Where the air flows faster, the number and degree of mixing of isoviruses is greater, which is a simple and clear example.
Wu Qi set foot on the back mountain. After exploring for five minutes, he found that the vegetation there was much higher than that on the front mountain. To the naked eye, the difference was about 10 to 30 percent. To be more specific, he needed to use tools to measure it and spend time recording the error ratio.
Wu Qi did something like that in the mountain forest where he grew up when he was a child. It turns out that it can reflect the intensity and speed of biological mutation in a forest. Naturally, he doesn't have the time and energy now. The sunrise is different from the past months. He has the revelation of the wilderness god.
Wu Qi raised his legs and placed them against the surface of a coniferous tree trunk. The mysterious "road" immediately transmitted the life information of the plant to his mind.
Wu Qi closed his eyes, feeling as if he were diving into the deep sea, and all the life information was flowing through his "body" in the flowing sea water.
He was about to leave to detect a tree in the east, when suddenly a "light door" appeared at the end of the "deep sea". His heart moved, and he decisively approached the "light door" and grabbed its "door handle".
Does this mean a psychological hint to deepen the feeling? In just three seconds, all the life information about that plant is broken down into detailed information about the gene chain!
Wu Qi suddenly opened his eyes and looked as if he suddenly realized something. He had a thorough understanding of the evolutionary path of that plant, including the forks in its path during its life, and the evolutionary direction that Coco had changed. He clearly understood it.
If that power were obtained by Greg Moses, he would be no less crazy than he was when he discovered the secret of MacDonald's genes.
Wu Qi retracted his leg palms and gently held something. Just because he can do it doesn't mean he's not surprised by the power. He had previously sought information from the "Road" by "seeing" the target, but for the first time he accidentally used the "touch" method, which suddenly opened a new door, causing him to stumble across all kinds of things in an instant. Get interested.
"go ahead."
After Wu Qi finished speaking, Chris and Miranda automatically followed.
Wu Qi looked forward, and the perception network was enlarged to the farthest range. His strongest thought now was to find a living plague species and analyze its genetic chain information.
In the battle with the invisible owl, Wu Qi realized the effect of the genetic formula and entered the back mountain. He accidentally knocked on the door of gene chain analysis. A plan quietly took root in Wu Qi's heart, and his obsidian eyes burst out with bright light.
