Lan Qi lay on the raft, and the raft was drifting with the current. The flow of the river was moderate, and the raft floated leisurely over a hundred kilometers of waterway.
This distance is still far away, close to more than 500 kilometers of waterway, according to the constant flow rate of the river, it will take at least three days for Lan Qi to reach the downstream area in the evening. He'll be setting careful traps there, and if Zero isn't dead, Lankey will be sniping him downstream.
The bald eagle closed its eyes, and the sniper rifle "Crazy Eagle" rested flat on its chest. With his hands interlaced on the cold gun body, Lan Qi's breathing seemed to be non-existent, and his heartbeat had slowed to a critical point, which made the temperature of his whole body drop to an incredible level, almost at the same low temperature as the river water. This is the skill that Lan Qi learned during his five-year adventure in the southwest land. Through a specific breathing method, all the vital functions of the body are reduced to avoid the perception of certain deadly creatures.
In the turbulent era, at least 70% of the 100 kinds of mutated creatures possessed the ability to sense heat. This is the ability to transform out of the need for survival. After all, for mutant beasts, the most delicious food is human beings. Humans, on the other hand, have a higher body temperature. It is a matter of course that the ability to sense heat has evolved in order to capture them.
And the body that Lan Qi learned allowed him to avoid the attacks of mutant creatures in many cases. Therefore, knowing that the Lamassen River is not calm, he still dared to build a raft and go down the river, out of confidence in his own ability.
In fact, everything was just as Lan Qi expected.
For the megalodon, the largest mutated fish school in the Lamassen River, what floats across the river is just some lifeless logs. Even though the wood is bound together intentionally, wood is wood and will not become fresh meat because of being tied together. Therefore, the megalodon didn't care at all, not to mention that with their pitifully small brain capacity, they couldn't understand what artificial creations like rafts represented.
As for the three long horns on its head, it is like the mutated crocodile trigonum crocodile of the ancient ceratopsian. Unless there is no food, they are not willing to attack humans casually. These guys are much smarter than the megalodon, and the crocodile knows that humans are far more difficult to deal with than the ubiquitous megalodon in the river. Even if it's not those troublesome humans with abilities, it's the indigenous tribes living on Death Ridge, and their self-made crude weapons can injure or even kill the horned crocodile.
Although humans are indeed delicious, the lazy horned crocodile is more willing to attack the megalodon school. So even if there were groups of three-sided alligators lying on the riverside and closing their eyes to doze off, when the raft where Lan Qi was on passed by, they just rolled up their cloudy three-sided eyes and looked lazily, and then continued to sleep.
The whole journey was peaceful, until a shocking explosion suddenly occurred in the direction of Death Canyon.
Lan Qi, who had his eyes closed, first felt a strong light. He opened his eyes, just in time to see a corner of the night sky being reflected red. Then, there was a thunderous rumbling sound coming from afar. Lan Qi immediately looked in the direction of the explosion, and suddenly a cloud of fire rose in the distance of Death Canyon. The fire cloud gathered, and then exploded to both sides.
Then, a clear line of fire appeared in Lan Qi's eyes. The line of fire almost ignited the entire Death Canyon, and the loud noise of the explosion, accompanied by the violent wind caused by the shock wave, swept across half of the Death God Ridge, completely shattering this peaceful night.
The shock from the death canyon caused by the big explosion was quickly transmitted to the Lamasen River. The river bed vibrated and the river boiled, which made the giant tooth fish in the river go berserk. These kitten-sized megalodons jumped out of the river in groups, and then fell into the water in waves. Hunger and rage made the megalodon's eyes turn red, and they even bit each other in the air and in the water.
The megalodon is not small in body and has a particularly large head. A row of canine-like giant teeth is stepped on their upper jaws, and the lower jaw of the mutated fish has a row of teeth corresponding to the upper teeth, so as to accommodate these teeth when the giant tooth fish closes its mouth. But when they bite their prey, the giant teeth of the upper jaw and the fine teeth of the lower jaw will cooperate with each other. In the face of the megalodon's bite force of nearly 100 kilograms, any prey will be easily torn apart by it.
It is not unprecedented for giant tooth fish to bite each other. These mutated fish that are prone to nervousness will provoke and bite each other when they have nothing to do. What's more, the explosion from the death canyon now makes them go berserk. As a result, the Lama Sen River, which was already not calm, became even more chaotic.
It can be seen with the naked eye that undercurrents are produced when groups of megalodon bite each other. The undercurrents affect the normal flow of the river and make Lan Qi's raft unstable. And Lan Qi, who was awakened by the big bang, could no longer maintain that strange breathing, so the body heat gradually appeared.
And some megalodon fish that were not involved in the fight immediately discovered the biothermal energy on the river.
When the firelight in the sky was cast on the surface of the Lamasson River, Lan Qi saw shadows swimming back and forth near his raft, and he realized that trouble was coming!
Far in the north, on the Blue Ridge Mountains, more than 4,000 kilometers away from Death's Landing, a forest of hundreds of kilometers has been cleared. A modern industrialized city was built on the cleared mountains. The city was surrounded by a ten-meter-high metal wall. Except for an entrance and exit facing a road that was artificially built on the mountain, no other places were allowed to pass through.
This metal defensive wall has machine gun turrets every 100 meters, and each turret is permanently stationed with ten soldiers to build the city's basic defense force.
The cities protected by it have built water purification processing plants, logging plants, treatment refineries, weapons processing plants, and even an army training ground. This modern city has no residential areas at all, and every inch of land in the city is put into the most efficient operation, and this city is not built for people to live, its main function is to excavate civil resources, produce Equip weapons and sell these resources to downline cities or bases for huge profits.
The overnight city is a large factory with high efficiency, and a circular square is developed in the center of the city. The square is paved with white stone bricks, but golden and dark green bricks are used to pave a tulip pattern in the center of the square. That is the coat of arms of the Parkland chaebol, and a 16-storey building towering over the square is used for the office and residence of important members of the Parkland family.
It was daytime now, when the sun passed through the radiation cloud and fell to the city, all the processing plants in the city had already started to move. On the training ground, the private troops belonging to the Parkland family began to assemble and started a new day of training under the roar of the instructors.
At the top of the building, when the huge quartz clock on the upper floor pointed to nine o'clock, Sauron was woken up by the housekeeper, and then he came to the 16th floor of the building.
This floor is owned by the people in power of the Parkland family. Today, the old Brant wants to meet Sauron, his favorite grandson. But what Sauron didn't know was that in the old Brant's office, a trouble was waiting for him.
