The heavy rain became heavier and heavier, and the warm rain did not seem to bring them any warmth, but only a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone finally looked back at the cave that had been flooded by turbid sewage, with deep reluctance and heartache on their faces. This may be their last look. Even if they return here in the future, it will be impossible to find their location under the thousands of miles of ice.
Time was limited, and a group of people did not dare to waste time. They hurriedly took their soaked luggage and set off on the road in embarrassment.
The water level on the ground has almost reached the waist. They are facing heavy rain above their heads, and there is slippery ice under their feet. The road is quite difficult to walk. A group of people march hard with one foot deep and one foot shallow, almost as fast as a turtle.
The raging water made it impossible for mutant beasts to hide underground with peace of mind. The rare mutant beasts that usually hide without a trace now surfaced one after another. From time to time, one or two mutant beasts could be seen struggling in the water in embarrassment. A terrified cry.
When they first saw it, everyone's eyes were shining, and their faces became distorted with excitement. Then they chased desperately, but soon they gradually became numb. Even if the mutated beast appeared nearby, everyone turned a blind eye.
In order to withstand the cold temperatures of the frozen earth, almost all of the surviving mutant beasts have evolved adaptively. Most of them have thick hair and fat. These mutant beasts seem to be struggling in the water, but this is only because of the sudden change in the environment. Anxiety, in fact, cannot drown at all, and once it is chased by someone, it can swim much faster than a human being.
"Have you heard the weird sound of water?" At this time, an evolutionist suddenly said
"I heard it too, it seems like a waterfall. You see, the flood is flowing forward!" An evolutionist next to him listened carefully and then said doubtfully: "But there are plains for hundreds of miles around here. There shouldn't be any A place with a big gap.”
In fact, the sound of the waterfall has always existed, but it was covered up by the sound of heavy rain. It was not until we got here that we could clearly distinguish it.
"Why do you care so much? I'm still worried about how to spend the night. If I have the energy to talk, I might as well walk a few steps quickly. It's almost dark." However, such a discovery did not attract anyone's attention, and soon Was interrupted impatiently.
"Everyone, hurry up, there are only a few steps left." Ling Zhongan immediately looked at the time after hearing this, and urged: "It doesn't matter what waterfall or not, even if there is a waterfall nearby, when the rain stops, as long as one At night, no matter how big the waterfall is, it will freeze you.”
This is what everyone thinks, isn't it? If you pee outside at night, if you don't hold it in enough, your urine will be thin and it will freeze into icicles.
The slope was only about a few kilometers away from the cave. Everyone hurried along slowly and continued walking for about ten minutes, and finally arrived.
At this time, the flow of the water surface was already quite turbulent, with turbulent waves, one whirlpool connected to another, as if there was a bottomless abyss in front of it, which was wildly swallowing the rolling floods. As for the huge noise, it was like ten thousand horses. Rushing, deafening.
However, everyone turned a blind eye. They were completely stunned by the number of mutant beasts living on this slope.
This slope is not big. The vertical height between the highest point and the water is only six or seven meters high, and the area is about one or two square kilometers. However, the entire slope is crowded with mutant beasts of all sizes, although it is far from the level of the beasts. They are in the state of being possessed by beasts, but at a glance, there are no less than a thousand in number, and most of them are small mutant beasts, which do not pose a great threat to them.
This slope has apparently become a nearby island and a refuge for mutant beasts.
Everyone looked at each other and saw unconcealed excitement and greed in each other's eyes. It was just like when a pie was suddenly thrown in front of them when they were about to starve to death, no! Hit it in the mouth!
As long as I can hunt one, tonight will be a good night.
In addition to providing a full meal, the fur can provide warmth, and most importantly, its oil can burn fire.
"Don't worry, these mutated beasts can't run away. Let's go up and find a place to spend the night." Ling Zhongan said. As the boss, he still tried to suppress his excitement. On the surface, he was quite reserved, but his subconscious The open corner of his mouth still betrayed him.
As he spoke, he walked towards the slope first. At this time, he noticed that the part of the slope that was submerged in the water had melted a lot. If his memory was correct, the slope here was quite gentle. However, at this time, it was almost a right angle. .
Ling Zhongan frowned, as if he had a bad premonition, and then shook the nonsense thoughts out of his mind.
He stepped on the ice below, and with a slight step, the water surface exploded like a bomb, causing a huge wave. At the same time, his body jumped up and landed on the slope.
Everyone tried their best to climb up the slope.
The sky has gradually darkened. Fortunately, due to the erosion of the warm and heavy rain, the ice has become less hard. After everyone worked hard to dig, a simple and wide ice cave was completed before nightfall.
Seeing that the others were very tired, maybe because he was in a good mood, Ling Zhongan showed rare generosity and went out in person to hunt two mutated beasts and let everyone eat freely. This meal made everyone feel full and satisfied.
The only fly in the ointment is that I can't find dry firewood, so I can only drink hair and blood.
…
The night was getting darker, and the heavy rain outside still did not stop. The deafening sound of the waterfall seemed to become more and more noisy. The unfamiliar environment and the biting cold in the ice cave made everyone toss and turn and unable to sleep.
An evolver was unlucky to sleep next to the entrance of the cave. It was naturally impossible to seal the entrance of the ice cave, especially since it was still raining. In order to avoid being frozen and suffocated in his sleep, the entrance of the cave was just randomly blocked with a few pieces of animal skins. one time.
He originally thought that he would have a hard time today, but as time passed, he became more and more confused.
He found that the wind blowing in from outside was not only not cold, but also warm. Shouldn't it be the coldest time now? Why is it warmer outside than in the ice cave
"Boss, are you asleep?" He couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Say!" Ling Zhongan hugged the two women and muttered, obviously not asleep either.
"It doesn't seem to be cold at all outside!"
"Don't worry about it, the temperature is brought by the rain. When the rain stops, it will be cold!" Ling Zhongan said dissatisfied.
Time, this wait was until midnight, the heavy rain still did not stop, in the daze, Ling Zhongan suddenly woke up, and heard the roars of beasts outside one after another, which sounded like wailing.
Having survived in the wild for so many years, he is very sensitive to crises. The phenomenon of the beasts wailing in this situation is undoubtedly a bad sign.
"Don't sleep, there seems to be something wrong!"
Surviving in the wild, everyone is extremely alert. When they heard Ling Zhongan's sudden loud warning, everyone stood up quickly. They were still confused when they felt the whole ground shaking slightly.
"Why is there another earthquake?" said an evolutionist.
However, before he finished speaking, there was a crunching sound, and the entire slope shook violently, as if falling from a high place. The amplitude reached one meter. Except for a few people such as Ling Zhongan who could still stand firm, the others rolled into a ball.
Fortunately for everyone, this violent vibration only occurred once, and then the ground only swayed slightly.
During an earthquake, it is undoubtedly dangerous to stay in an ice cave. As soon as a group of people stood up, they couldn't wait to run out of the ice cave. The rainstorm seemed to be getting worse, and it was hard to open their eyes.
However, the duration of the earthquake was unexpectedly long. A group of people were soaked in the heavy rain for half an hour, and the ground was still shaking slightly.
"Isn't an earthquake like this?" An evolutionist objected,
Everyone looked at each other and felt uneasy. They had seen many earthquakes in recent years, but this was the first time they had seen one like this.
Ling Zhongan quickly looked around, but there was only a vast expanse of white in front of him. He quickly called Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, look at the surrounding situation?"
"Okay, boss." In fact, even if Ling Zhongan didn't suggest it, Xiaohu had already subconsciously activated his ability. His eyes became extremely dark, like black holes absorbing everything, which was terrifying.
He looked at it for a long time, then suddenly screamed and said incoherently: "It's not good, the slope, no, the ice block we are standing on has been broken by the water, and we are being carried away by the current!"
"What?"
"How can this be?"
"What did you see wrong?"
Everyone exclaimed again and again, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Xiaohu seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly screamed: "No, there is a big waterfall ahead!"
…
Luo Yuan's whole body exuded an uncertain radiance. He lowered his head and looked down at the earth quietly. With his nearly infinite computing power, he simultaneously monitored and processed all the hydrological data of the entire earth.
The density and size of the waterways and lakes he developed have far exceeded those naturally formed by the earth. An ordinary river channel is dozens of kilometers wide, and its depth is five to six hundred meters deep even if it does not include ice. However, heavy rains and ice The amazing amount of water melted by the layer is also extremely amazing.
He must constantly monitor the global hydrological situation, continuously modify and improve future changes in water regime trends in various places, digest and divert the influx of floods, and control water levels below the danger line.
However, this did not consume much of Luo Yuan's strength. He still had most of his remaining energy to transform islands one by one on the sea. The ice on these islands melted instantly, and at the same time, various frozen plants were also destroyed. He was reversed in death.
The dry trees, withered weeds, and fallen shrubs were all full of life, and the delicate green buds were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few minutes, a forest covering hundreds of square kilometers had been formed.
For Luo Yuan, who can control microscopic substances at the neutron level, resurrecting against death is a natural thing, as simple as drinking water and eating.
Of course, this kind of behavior requires an astonishing amount of calculations. Even if he does it, it is not easy. He can only transform it on a small island one by one, and it is impossible to transform it on a global scale in a short time.
These small islands are the refuges he opened for mutant beasts. Some mutant beasts in danger were transferred by him and temporarily placed there.
Luo Yuan, the group of survivors, has been paying attention all the time. In fact, Luo Yuan had noticed such an eye-catching target as soon as he arrived on Earth.
The first time he saw this group of people, he was still a little surprised. He never expected that after so many years, there were still people surviving on the earth, and there was such an acquaintance among them.
Seeing that they were about to be rushed into the river, Luo Yuan suddenly had an idea. These dozen evolvers, along with thousands of mutant beasts of all sizes, were suddenly wrapped in an invisible force and attacked with dozens of times the speed of sound, flying rapidly towards the islands in the sea.
At this moment, I can only reluctantly place them there temporarily.
They have lived in this harsh environment for forty or fifty years, and they probably won't care about living like this for a few more days. What's more, compared to before, at least those small islands will not be short of food.
