Dawn is a Nicky, and he's more familiar with the situation than any of us, but even if he finds something, there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?

After all, he is now fully able to communicate with us normally in Chinese.

I immediately got up and chased after Zhou Qiqi, because nothing too dangerous had happened for the time being, and I didn't know what Chenxi was going to do, so I didn't alarm anyone else for the time being.

Zhou Qiqi and I ran directly to the half-built tourist area on the periphery of Nanlu Mountain, and then there was a cliff on the outside, and if you want to go up, you can only go from the only plank road on the side.

I've walked this plank road twice before, and it's difficult for ordinary people to walk, but it's nothing for people like me and Zhou Qiqi who have a lot of experience in mountain climbing.

However, even so, we have to be careful, after all, this plank road is built by the cataclysm, and it is still in that unfinished state.

Although Dawn's ability to climb through the forest is stronger than ours, if you want to cross this cliff, you have to take this plank road.

I glanced back and forth over the boardwalk, but I didn't see anyone.

"When did he leave?" I asked Zhou Qiqi busily.

"He should have been walking for more than ten minutes when I called you!" Zhou Qiqi said: "He climbed the mountain very fast, and he should have passed the plank road by now!"

"That'...... Why don't you go back first and I'll look for it alone?" I said.

However, Zhou Qiqi resolutely disagreed, saying that she would go with me, I couldn't resist her, and Zhou Qiqi was also one of the best outdoor masters among us, so I immediately agreed.

We soon reached the starting point of the boardwalk, and I immediately realized that the boardwalk was not unwalked. On the contrary, judging from the nearby traces, there are definitely not one or two people passing by on this plank road recently, because there are many traces of trampling on the grass and trees near this plank road, which can never be left by Chenxi alone just now.

Zhou Qiqi also found out: "It seems that there may be a famous hall in this southern foothill mountain." ”

I nodded, "Could it be the Blue Bird Company?"

"No way. Zhou Qiqi shook her head and said: "As soon as Chen Lie died, the Blue Bird Company was completely leaderless, but I think the Salvation Army is more likely." ”

Zhou Qiqi's words are not unreasonable, after all, in the southern foothills of the mountain, in addition to the Blue Bird Company, the second group that has had a large number of people is the Salvation Army, these guys even sent helicopters to come, at that time their purpose was to get the information inside the underground laboratory in the depths of the southern foothills, but this place has long been destroyed now, I don't know what reason those Salvation Army can come here.

Not to mention...... The Salvation Army is actually the same as the Blue Bird Company, the leader has long since died and disappeared, where can people be gathered to carry out such an operation?

In any case, the fact that a large number of people have been passing by here recently is indisputable, which makes my concern for Dawn even heavier.

This dawn is the only Nikki on our team now, and I can't let him die.

I immediately took Zhou Qiqi to run quickly along the plank road one after the other, and after running less than half the distance, I suddenly heard a huge roar from the opposite side of the plank road, that is, from the depths of the southern foot of the mountain.

It sounds like an elephant's cry!

"Asian elephants?" asked Zhou Qiqi quizzedly behind me.

"It seems to be true!" I nodded and said, "But aren't the Asian elephants in the southern foothills all infected by the Gu worm virus and turned into Gu animals?"

"That's right. Zhou Qiqi said: "Could it be that after the energy disappears, those elephants have returned to normal?"

I said in my heart that this is not right, because from the situation we have seen in other places before, after the energy disappears, in fact, most of the Gu creatures die directly, why are these Asian elephants an exception now?

Either way, at least for now, the cries of these Asian elephants are real, and they seem to be quite numerous.

The Niki people already had a rather exaggerated admiration for these Asian elephants, and now it is only natural that Dawn will rush out desperately after hearing the roars of these Asian elephants.

Zhou Qiqi and I sped up, and soon rushed to the opposite side of the plank road without danger, at this time the cries of those Asian elephants were getting louder and louder, and I suddenly found that the cries of these Asian elephants seemed to reveal some angry taste, and I felt ...... It feels like they're fighting some kind of opponent.

Judging by the direction from which the sounds are coming from, the position of these elephants is not really concentrated, because the elephant cries I hear now are coming in three different directions.

I was hesitating in which direction the morning sun should go, when I heard a rustling sound behind me, and quickly looked back to find that it was actually the four original test subjects I rescued from the underground layer before, and the little boy with a scar on the back of his head was staring at me.

These children have not caused us any trouble since I brought them back to the camp, and they are even much more sensible and quiet than ordinary children.

That's why I was surprised that they were all of a sudden here.

I tried to ask them, "Just a few of you?"

I didn't have much hope that they would answer my question normally, but as soon as I said this, I saw the little boy with a scar on the back of his head and immediately nodded.

Zhou Qiqi and I were a little surprised, and I continued to ask, "Then why are you here?"

This time, however, they stopped taking a stand.

I wondered if these children weren't quite able to speak yet, but they still didn't have a problem understanding me, so ...... I try to ask questions in a direction that they can answer with a nod or a shake of their head.

I continued, "You're here to protect me?"

This time it worked, and the children immediately nodded.

"Did anyone else find you?"

They all shook their heads again.

"It's good to have them. Zhou Qiqi suggested on the side: "You can also be a helper." ”

However, although these children performed fairly well in my eyes before, it was all under the premise of having energy, and now that all their energy has dissipated, what can they help with just this small body?

But I tried to get them to leave a few times, but they didn't listen, and I had to let them follow me.

Since they can't leave, let's just use them to do things for me, and they can understand me anyway, so I try to order them to find the location of Dawn as soon as possible.

The children were very alert, and after listening to my description of Dawn, they immediately rushed forward.

They have now completely gotten rid of the crawling way of walking, and have instead become normal people walking upright.

After the four children left, I also took Zhou Qiqi to climb up a nearby commanding height, and began to observe in the distance.

The view is not particularly obstructed here, because many of the trees on the periphery have actually been destroyed, and I quickly found some Asian elephants in these sparse tree intervals.

They were now about two or three hundred meters away from my current position, and I faintly noticed that there seemed to be fire around these Asian elephants.

This fire is obviously not a Gu fire, but a normal flame, and it is now the middle of the night, there is no possibility of a natural fire, and it is even more impossible for Asian elephants to light the fire by themselves, which means that this fire was set by people!

I asked Zhou Qiqi to take out the gravel gun she was carrying and prepare it, while I took the mountain knife in one hand and the nail gun in the other to lead the way.

At this moment, the four children who had been exploring the path had already run back, and the little boy with the scar on the back of his head was tugging at the hem of my clothes, and then pointed to the location of the fire I had just mentioned.

"Where is Dawn?" I asked.

The little boy nodded immediately.

"Are there any others?"

He nodded again.

"Are there a lot of people?"

He nodded anyway.

"Xiao Chen, do you want to call someone?" Zhou Qiqi said.

"Don't ......" I shook my head, "It's too late now, and it's too dangerous for you to go back alone now, let's see the situation first." ”

Then I gestured for the four children to follow me, and I began to lead them and Zhou Qiqi closer and closer to the location of the firelight.

By this time I could see the size of the Asian elephants, they were still quite different from the Asian elephants I had seen before, the skin was much darker than before, and there were many wounds on each elephant, although they had healed, but it still gave people a shocking feeling.

Well...... These Asian elephants have indeed recovered from Gu animals, otherwise they would not have become the strange appearance they are now.

The number of these Asian elephants is very exaggerated, there are no less than twenty or thirty in my sight now, and the other elephant roars I heard in front of me feel that their total number must be more than a hundred.

The wave of Asian elephants in front of me was running towards the end of the forest, and I couldn't see what they were doing for a while.

At this time, I heard a man's voice emerging from the roar of the Asian elephant herd, shouting something loudly.

At first, I thought it was morning light, but I soon realized that it was not, because it was a very pure Chinese.

Sure enough, there were others!

This is also the first living person I have seen who can talk since I returned to South China Province, and I can't help but feel a little excited.

Regardless of whether he is friend or foe, I have to capture him alive first.

The sound was not loud, so Zhou Qiqi didn't hear it for the first time, but I quickly explained the news to her, and I told her not to kill people when she met someone later, and Zhou Qiqi immediately nodded and agreed.

As for Chenxi's safety, I'm not particularly worried about it now, with his skills, and under the premise that everyone has no energy now, it is really not easy for others to want his life in this Qinhuai Mountain Range.

The top priority now is to find out what guy just now.

I came closer, then carefully discerned the direction of the sound, and then continued on my way, and soon I spotted the man in a hollow in the ground.

The man was hiding in the hollow to avoid the trampling of the elephants, and I noticed that he was holding some objects in his hands that were catching fire, and while the elephants were not noticing, he was throwing them as far as he could towards the edge of the herd.

I frowned and looked into the distance, only to see that the range of the fire was much larger than before.

"It's like they're using flames to drive out the elephants. Zhou Qiqi said beside me.

I nodded, and it seemed so, because I hadn't seen any Asian elephants killed yet, at least.

Could it be that these guys are trying to do something with these Asian elephants?

After discovering this man, I didn't act immediately, because since this guy was shouting just now, it showed that there must be his companions nearby, and the fire in all directions could not have been lit by him alone.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before I saw three or four more men running out of another forest near him, some of them holding objects that started fire, and some of them were holding open flames, and they had the posture of burning through the forest.

I thought to myself, where can they drive these Asian elephants, and what's the use? Could it be that they should be used as transporters?

When the men got together, they exchanged a few words, mentioning that the fire was well controlled, and then mentioning Dawn, saying that a stranger who looked like a Niki had appeared and was trying to lure the elephants away.

The men discussed it a few more times, and then made a simple and crude decision to kill the Nikki......

I rubbed it, and I said in my heart, although these guys didn't look like the Salvation Army or the Blue Bird Company, they were much more ruthless than them.

At this time, the fire on all sides was even bigger, and the ignition objects in the hands of those guys were also thrown out, and some Asian elephants were forced by the fire, and they had begun to turn from roaring to wailing, because some of the Asian elephants now had no way to retreat, and the fire surrounded this part of the Asian elephants, and they were afraid that they would be burned alive.

It was at this time that I finally spotted Dawn, who was holding a long tree trunk in his hand, and was slapping at the nearest fire, which was trapped by two Asian elephants, and Dawn was clearly trying to save them.

At the same time, several men in the depression also saw him, and I saw that they directly pulled out their pistols and planned to shoot at the morning light.

Damn, I immediately shouted at Zhou Qiqi: "Do it!"

Zhou Qiqi was not polite, and hit the man in the wrist with a single shot, and at the same time, the four children around me also rushed forward.
