After returning, Luo Yuan explained the matter. As expected, everyone decided to evacuate the place temporarily.
Before he left, he had given everyone a warning, so some necessary luggage had already been prepared. Not long after the fourth wave of attacks fell, the group picked up their luggage and quickly left the grotto.
Under Luo Yuan's order, the monitor lizard took heavy steps and trotted forward. The grotto gradually blurred in sight. When the group of people got into the jungle, they could no longer see it. A faint melancholy filled everyone's hearts.
This is the norm for survivors in the apocalypse. They have no fixed place to live. Maybe today you have just found a safe place and stored a lot of food, but the next day, you may be forced to leave and have to leave behind a lot of hard work. Collect supplies and go to a safer place. Then, collect all the supplies again and wait for the next migration.
This is the helplessness of being in the end of the world, everything is for survival.
…
The dense network of trees overhead blocks all sight from the sky.
After nearly an hour and a half, everyone returned to the original camp. At this moment, everyone felt relieved and felt a strong sense of security here.
In fact, this place is only thirty or forty kilometers away from the grotto, which is not an absolutely safe distance, but no one wants to go to another strange place and bear unpredictable risks.
As for absolute safety, in the end of the world, where is the absolute safe place? Instead of taking risks, it is better to leave your life to fate.
However, this kind of negative thinking definitely does not include Luo Yuan.
Being driven out of his home by a light green mutant creature was definitely a shameful thing for him, but at this time, he could only temporarily suppress his restless heart.
…
Three days have passed quickly. In these days, in order to avoid the discovery of the mutant bird, everyone has given up daytime activities.
Nowadays, the weather is hot, and the cave is completely closed, with no air circulation. Staying in it is like a sauna, even breathing is scorching. As for the dirty air and the complex smell of various sour and rotten things, it is simply not possible. No need to mention it.
Fortunately, I had brought a lot of water with me before coming here, so I didn’t have to worry about drinking water.
Only when night falls can everyone come out, breathe the fresh and cool night air, and eat some food.
In the past few days, the mutated birds have been attacking intermittently, but compared with the first day, the frequency has dropped significantly, and it is more irregular. Sometimes there is no attack during the whole day, but in the evening they are crazy. Dafa, non-stop bombardment.
Moreover, it is estimated that the other party has become suspicious of Luo Yuan and others for not showing up for a long time. At first, it basically flew at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters and rarely showed up. However, in the past few days, it has begun to fly lower and lower. He would hover over the grotto for several hours every day.
However, it never imagined that dozens of kilometers away, its enemies were collecting all the information about it in detail.
More than ten kilometers away from the grotto, on the branches of a big tree, Luo Yuan was hidden under the lush leaves, his eyes fixed on the giant bird that was constantly circling in the air.
Of course, monitoring mutant birds is only one of them. He is also paying attention to the wisdom tree.
Due to the feeding of a large number of corpses in the past few days, the wisdom tree has grown very fast. Compared with three days ago, it is not only almost twice as tall as it was three days ago, but the color of the trunk has also changed slightly, as if it has reached the point of transformation!
At the same time, the wisdom fruits on the tree also began to mature in large quantities, exuding an alluring aroma.
However, the area near the grotto has been repeatedly raided by giants, and the slightly dangerous mutant beasts have almost disappeared. There are not many creatures visiting at all, and the wisdom tree activated in the feeding state is absolutely terrifying.
In the past few days, Luo Yuan saw several mutated beasts trying to get close to the Wisdom Tree more than once. As a result, they were wrapped tightly in white silk.
The mutated bird circled for a while, and finally lost its patience. It stopped taking off, and directly aimed a boulder weighing several tons at the cliff and threw it down. It probably also felt that its previous behavior was of no use at all.
The rock fell onto the rock wall and made a loud "boom" sound. Under the violent impact, a piece of rock on the rock wall broke apart, rolled and fell down, and hit the stone wall corridor heavily, creating a gap several meters wide.
It waited for a few more minutes, and when it saw that there was no movement at all, it chirped in disappointment, and then fluttered its wings and flew away.
Luo Yuan calmly watched it move away quickly until it completely disappeared before jumping down from the tree.
According to experience, it will not come back today.
He touched the tree trunk and saw a deep knife mark there, as well as a similar mark on a nearby tree. These two marks were the marks he left when he observed the flight path of the mutated bird yesterday. He compared them carefully. After a while, I found that when the mutated bird left in the past two days, it went in exactly the same direction.
This can only explain one problem, this direction is exactly the location of its lair.
After all, if it is hunting, it is impossible to go in the same direction every time. The probability is so low that it can almost be ignored.
He thought secretly in his heart:
"He believes that no matter how high a bird flies, it will always land. This is its flaw, and judging from its range of activities, it will never be too far away.
When the attack frequency was highest on the first day, the interval between mutant bird attacks was about twenty minutes. This included the round trip time and the time to grab the boulder and lift off. For one way, it was ten minutes. The boulder used in the attack was probably sourced nearby. A person dominated by hatred would not be in the mood to go all the way to grab a boulder and come back to attack. This is unrealistic.
The speed of the mutant bird is very fast, but it has not exceeded the speed of sound. It is only about two-thirds of the speed of sound, which is about seven times faster than him. If the mutant bird takes ten minutes to travel, it will take him one hour and ten minutes. Consider Depending on the physical strength and the ups and downs of the slope, it may take nearly two hours. If you also consider that the nest may be further away than the place where the boulder was taken, it will take even longer.
Another key point is that most birds have keen perceptions and quick reactions, and mutant birds that evolve from birds are no exception. Once discovered and flutter their wings, they will be difficult to kill.
But this is easy to solve. He has always kept the 'Green Hidden Man's Horn'. With the Green Hidden Man's perfect ability to shield perception, coupled with appropriate disguise, as long as he doesn't make a big noise, he should be able to deceive the mutation. bird. "
His brain was running at high speed, quickly analyzing all the situations he could consider.
…
A four-meter-long, mantis-like mutated insect was hiding behind a nearby tree trunk, approaching here quietly. Its color was the same as the tree trunk, and it looked like a dead branch attached to the tree trunk.
The sharp and ferocious huge mouthparts opened and closed silently, and the crystal compound eyes clearly reflected Luo Yuan's figure. Looking at this creature so close in front of it, it seemed to have felt the scent of flesh and blood.
However, out of caution, it did not attack rashly. It keenly felt that this strange creature exuded a dangerous aura, which made it hesitate. It observed patiently and saw that the other creature remained motionless for a long time. It finally couldn't resist the temptation of food.
The powerful hind limbs flicked suddenly, and the body jumped down from the tree like lightning.
However, just as he jumped into the air, a bright silver light instantly cut through the air, and with a snap, the body fell to the ground and split into two complete halves.
…
After Luo Yuan pondered for a long time, he quickly made a decision. With a flash of his body, he ran away quickly in the opposite direction of the camp.
It's still too early now, everything has to wait until nightfall, and there are still some things to prepare.
Luo Yuan disappeared, leaving a pile of corpses on the spot.
It wasn't until a long time later that a bold mutant beast approached the place cautiously, its ears turning slightly, and its eyes keenly observing its surroundings. Seeing that there was no more danger, it immediately lowered its head and bit a corpse, and quickly escaped from the place.
Soon, there were more and more mutant beasts here...
After waiting for an hour, even the blood stains seeping into the soil disappeared completely, as if nothing had happened.
