Now is daytime, which is not a good time for killing. Not only some of the hunting giants may not have returned yet, but also once the opponent cannot bear the huge casualties and fear, they will flee in all directions. At that time, whether it is a pursuit or an ambush, it will be an extremely troublesome matter.
What's more, intelligent creatures are fundamentally different from beasts. They have intelligence, can use tools, and have a certain degree of organization and discipline, which makes it possible for them to defeat the strong with the weak. It is definitely not wise to rush over like this. things.
Luo Yuan carefully observed the surrounding terrain and then cautiously stepped back.
Half an hour later, Luo Yuan returned to the camp. Everyone who had been waiting for news came forward to ask questions. When they heard that there were really intelligent creatures, or even a tribe with thousands of people, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Human beings are the spirit of all things and the well-deserved overlord of the earth. Even if mutant beasts are rampant and humans are retreating steadily, they are still proud in their hearts, because humans are the only intelligent creatures on the earth. No matter how powerful the mutant creatures are, they are just beasts without intelligence. As long as Humanity stands firm, and victory will come one day, but the sudden news shatters the pride in everyone's hearts.
It turns out that humans are not the only intelligent creatures!
When a species appears that is physically stronger and more intelligent than humans, can humans still maintain their pride? Maybe the day of replacing human beings is no longer far away!
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
"I didn't expect that the world would change like this?" After a while, Huang Jiahui said in a daze.
The news brought by Luo Yuan was really shocking. Although there were various clues along the way, everyone was more or less prepared, but when it was really confirmed, everyone felt a sense of panic.
"We must kill them before they develop!" At this time, Captain Xia said suddenly, with a cold expression on his face.
"Yes, they are too close to us, and there may be conflicts at any time." Huo Dong also suppressed his fear and said.
Luo Yuan nodded slightly and said: "It seems that everyone has the same idea. Let's take action at night and kill these creatures without leaving any trace behind. Everyone will be there by then."
After thinking about it all the way back, he had changed his original idea. If he relied on himself alone, there would be omissions anyway. Once the giants scattered and fled, no matter how fast he was, he would not be able to cover everything. There would always be something that slipped through the net. fish.
These people are not bad now. They may not be able to deal with them one-on-one, but when three or two work together, they can always kill a few. Especially Wang Shishi, who is still a little weak against the green level, but has to deal with those blue-level mutations. The creature was simply a killing machine, more efficient than him. As long as she was here, this mission would be a sure thing.
"How many children are there?" Huang Jiahui asked.
"Take them away too. It's even more dangerous to stay alone in the cave." Luo Yuan understood Huang Jiahui's doubts: "But don't worry, you only need to deal with the fish that slipped through the net. It's safe!"
The matter was settled simply like this, no one raised any questions, and no one openly objected. No matter how scared or reluctant they were, they could only keep silent, and they didn't even dare to show any signs of it on their faces. His authority has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even the few soldiers who have just joined the team are as silent as ice under his gaze, and they only feel more majestic than the chief.
The atmosphere of war makes people feel heavy in their hearts, and everyone is doing their best to prepare.
The end of the world is the most training time for people. Even a nerd who has no fingers in the world will transform into a survival master after struggling for half a year.
… …
Time passed quickly and it got dark soon.
In the open space in front of the cave, a skinned mutant beast was exuding an alluring aroma under the flames. The grease fell on the bonfire, causing sparks to rise from time to time, making a crackling sound, and the light and dark changed. The firelight illuminated everyone's face with uncertainty.
"It's burnt!" Luo Yuan reminded.
"ah!"
A few people came to their senses in a daze and hurriedly lifted the barbecue from the grill. Apparently, the huge psychological shock before made them still a little uneasy.
Luo Yuan frowned, but soon relaxed his brows. In fact, even he was shocked when he saw those creatures, and he could not suppress the murderous intention. Even if he did not have this mission, he would definitely kill them. And then quickly. This killing intention has no reason, it seems to come from deep into the bone marrow, from the depths of the genes. Perhaps this is the instinct produced by an intelligent creature when it encounters another intelligent creature.
Dinner was finished quickly. Luo Yuan looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock, and the sky was completely dark. He continued to wait for another three hours, and it was not until ten o'clock exactly that he stood up. He reached out and took the sword that was stuck next to him.
"Turn off the engine and let's go!"
Everyone quickly extinguished the fire, silently picked up their weapons, and got ready to go.
Huang Jiahui took a long knife, looked down at her watch, walked to Luo Yuan, and whispered: "It's only ten o'clock, is it too early?"
Ten o'clock is indeed too early. Perhaps for humans before the end of the world, nightlife has just begun.
Luo Yuan shook his head: "It's still a long way from here, and walking at night is even slower. If there is an emergency, there will be delays. You must leave sufficient time to respond. Those giants are not human either. , it should be time to fall asleep."
Luo Yuan looked at her and said softly: "Be careful, it's best to stay next to Master Wang."
Huang Jiahui nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry about me, I will pay attention."
… … …
The team climbed onto the monitor and soon set off.
The roars of the mutant beasts in the distance came one after another, mixed with shrill screams and roars from time to time, which made people tremble with fear.
Under the cover of dense leaves, the entire jungle looked dark and full of ghosts. Only pairs of faint light spots in the bushes in the distance emit little bits of light, like faint will-o'-the-wisps. It is a mutated beast that only waits for prey, but under the deterrence of the giant lizard's huge size , they hesitated and did not dare to approach, and kept wandering nearby.
The dark jungle is a more lively and dangerous world than during the day. Most carnivorous creatures choose this time to come out for activities. Especially now that the temperature is getting higher and higher during the day, even some herbivores have begun to stay in the day and come out at night, gradually adapting. Such a harsh environment.
The speed of the monitor lizard was not very fast, and it seemed a little irritable along the way. It couldn't help but roar several times. Although the roar was deafening from time to time, it was the roar and intimidation of the monitor lizard from time to time that made everyone frightened along the way. No risk!
Half an hour later, the group had arrived at the valley.
This place is not far away from the giant's tribe. Luo Yuan asked everyone to come down. Because the giant lizard made too much noise when walking, it had to be left in place in order not to alarm the snake. Everyone started walking.
The journey was quiet, and the atmosphere was suddenly different from that in the jungle.
Perhaps it was because giants often appeared, but there were very few mutant beasts nearby, so there was no danger along the way.
Not long after walking, the light of the fire was already faintly visible, and the heat wave was rolling in front, and the temperature suddenly rose.
Lin Xiaoji wiped his sweat. He was wrapped up tightly. He was forced by the heat wave and sweat poured down from his body. He complained quietly: "Aren't these mutated beasts afraid of heat?"
"This is a defensive method. Once the fire is burning, there will be almost no mutant beasts around. Some outposts far away from the base sometimes use this method at night. A large fire is more effective than any machine gun or cannon. Look. This mutant beast is smarter than we thought," Captain Xia said with a serious face.
Luo Yuan ignored it. He listened carefully for a while, then turned around and said, "There seems to be a giant guarding the front. I'll go there first, and you can come back when I give the signal."
Although everyone didn't hear any movement, they didn't have the slightest suspicion. Everyone was shocked and their faces were solemn.
"Brother Luo, let me help you!" Master Wang suddenly said.
Luo Yuan was a little hesitant. It should be relatively safe here. It doesn't matter if Wang Shishi is not here. Moreover, it is really a difficult task to deal with several giants silently without disturbing other sleeping giants. Thinking of this , Luo Yuan nodded: "Okay, you come with me, and you will cooperate with me when the time comes."
Master Wang immediately nodded excitedly.
The two of them kept their bodies low and sneaked slowly. The front was getting hotter and hotter, and it seemed that even their hair was about to be scorched. After walking for a while, he stopped again, listened for a while, and then brushed aside his hair, which was dry due to the high temperature. The grass made a slight rustling sound without attracting the slightest attention.
"Did you see it? Let me take a look." Master Wang was curious about the appearance of the mutated creature, so he approached Luo Yuan and whispered.
"Shh!" Luo Yuan observed carefully. After a long time, he turned around and said with a serious face: "There are thirteen giants on alert. I didn't expect so many. The situation is a bit troublesome."
… … …
A group of giants, sitting in twos and threes at the foot of the rock, looked around from time to time.
These giants are taller and stronger than other giants. Each one is six or seven meters tall. Their muscles are like the roots of an old tree, and their skin is about to burst. Even if they are just sitting loosely like this, they still exude a strong feeling With a fierce aura, these are obviously not ordinary giants, but warriors among giants.
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from not far away. A giant stood up alertly, looked around a few times, and made strange syllables in his mouth, as if communicating with the other giants. Soon, it was carrying a A spear as thick as the mouth of a bowl walked forward cautiously, while the other giants were on guard around them.
These giants appear to be extremely cautious and highly vigilant. Think about it, anyone living in the depths of this dangerous jungle would be the same, otherwise this kind of creature would not be alive now.
The giant carefully walked to the place where the noise came from, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a dying mutant beast. Its stomach had been violently torn open, and its internal organs were flowing all over the floor, dragging out a long bloody trail. It seemed to be in a panic. , escaped here.
This is a big surprise!
It licked its lips and exposed two sharp fangs.
Even for a warrior like him, meat is precious and scarce, and cannot be obtained every day. After all, it needs to be exchanged for life. However, its vigilance did not decrease. It paid careful attention to its surroundings and saw that there was no other movement around it. This time, it relaxed and excitedly grabbed the mutant beast's neck and walked towards the giants.
Seeing the mutated beast, the giants were in a commotion. Everyone's face seemed to be filled with joy and excitement. One of the giants reached in from the torn abdomen, grabbed a heart with force, and respectfully gave it to the strongest one. giant.
The giant looked very satisfied. It showed a ferocious smile. After taking it, it stuffed it into its mouth full of sharp teeth and chewed it. The blood slid down the corners of its mouth, making it look particularly ferocious.
This seems to be a unique etiquette and a signal. When the giant swallows the heart, the eating spree begins.
The giant who was eating seemed particularly crazy and fierce. The entire mutated beast was torn open into several parts and was put in his mouth to bite desperately. An impatient giant even lay down directly on the ground, like a wild beast. Obviously, these Although giants are already intelligent creatures, they still retain their animal nature.
