"Have you ever watched the Hollywood blockbuster "Search**"? There is a large snake with a length of 100 meters, and maybe this scale is a snake. Chen Yan didn't look at the scales, she hated the strong fishy smell on them. It was also the smell that reminded her that the creature might be a snake. After all, that's what snakes smell like. If it is a pangolin or something like that, a pure land creature, then the body smells bad, while the snake is amphibious, so the smell is stronger.

Everyone was attracted by Chen Yan's words, it was not impossible. Although it was only a movie. But now it's the end of the world, not to mention such a big snake, isn't the star-nosed mole they saw before the end the size of an ordinary house mouse? But the few they encountered in the square were more than a hundred times a thousand times.

The longest python seen by humans before the end of the day is nearly 12 meters long, and it is not surprising that a snake of more than 100 meters will appear according to 10 times the calculation. It's just that it's winter, and snakes are hibernating, as is customary, so the appearance of this scale is strange. Could it be that the end of the world has changed the habits of the snake for thousands of years, and it will not hibernate?

Now that the provenance of the scales has a direction, they have solved a problem. As for whether it is a snake or not, they will go up the mountain tomorrow to check. After chatting a few more words, Yu Zhoushan left, resting and not talking.

The next morning, the soldiers of the cooking squad made several large steamed buns with large drawers, two for each person, and also made the Chinese food. Each person counts as 3. After all, after hitting the road, you may not necessarily have the conditions to stop and cook. And it's easy to carry the finished product.

While the cooking class was still busy with steamed buns, Yu Zhoushan ordered a few soldiers, and also called Xu Shan and Tang Li, and followed Ouyang Zhi and them up the mountain together. Fang Bing was left behind, and together with the platoon commander of the platoon, temporarily presided over the affairs of the camp.

Xu Shan was reluctant at first, he was a distant relative of Zhao Ling in the base, and he was a small leader, so he could enjoy it without being born or dying. Now that he has been sent out, not to mention sleeping in the open along the way, it is a life of nine deaths. The posture in the town that day alone was enough for him to be frightened. It's also thanks to how he said that he has been in the army for more than ten years, and his kung fu is passable, so he didn't make a fool of himself in public. Otherwise, he would have cried and cried about to turn back. But then he shrank among the soldiers, unwilling to come out. Now he was called out by Yu Zhoushan, and he has to go to the mountains to explore.

Yu Zhoushan showed the scales to Xu Shi and Tang Li before going up the mountain, and also told them their conjectures. Tang Li heard that it was a hundred-meter-long snake, and then he looked at the scales, and knew that it was not something to deal with. Although he was not very positive about going up the mountain together, he was quite cooperative. Xu Shirt has been chirping crookedly, but in the end, he couldn't stand it and was pulled up by them. The few people brought over by Xu Shirt couldn't stop it. And they don't need to bring too many people with them this time, because it's not easy to do things when there are too many people. Even if you run away, you have to worry about whether someone is dragging your feet.

This time I went up the mountain because I had experience yesterday, and the time was much faster. They walked directly through the 5 houses they had already seen yesterday. The contents are also planned to wait for them to come down the mountain and arrange for someone to come up and move them. With their eyes on target, they walked straight to the sixth house.

This time, it was 6 people who stayed down to be on guard. The rest went up to the house. Not to mention, after such a distance, the houses here are also a little different from the previous ones. Ouyang Zhi didn't come up yesterday, but they could see it just by looking at the size of the area. This house is at least 100 square meters larger than the previous ones.

The houses were built according to a stepped structure, like a pyramid. Referring to the customs of ethnic minorities, perhaps these are the houses of some so-called elders in the villages. So there is a difference in height and size.

There are a lot of supplies in this house. In the hall, you can also see several animal skins such as bear skins and tiger skins, which are intact. There is also a deer antler nearly 1 meter long hanging on the wall. It can be seen that the people of this family must hunt often on weekdays, and the level is not bad.

They found a few more scales in the hallway and the staircase near the back hill, still the same, no corpses, no blood. Even the room didn't smell anything different. And the fishy smell has to be close to the scales to smell.

"Let's go." I didn't find anything, and after looking around, I was ready to go. There are several more in the back. And who knows if there will be a house in the back mountains. After all, they saw that there were seven eaves from the bottom of the mountain, but when they came up, they found that there was a lush forest on the mountain behind them, and maybe there were still houses inside, but they were covered and they couldn't see it.

They looked at 2 more houses, plus yesterday's, there were 8 in total. Beyond that, there's the woods.

"Do you want to go in?" They were all standing at the entrance to the woods at the moment. They now have a total of 10 scales on their hands. It's all about the same size, dark black.

"What do you think?" Ouyang Zhi asked Yu Zhoushan. After all, Yu Zhoushan was followed by a few soldiers, and Tang Li was also a soldier. Xu Shan was not in his consideration.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger. Could it be that the sword mountain and the sea of fire are not successful? Yu Zhoushan was very crisp and went directly into the woods. A few of the soldiers he brought with him stayed outside the woods and lit a bonfire. It's not that they're holding back, it's that someone has to stay outside. This time, Xu Shan stayed. And Tang Li thought about it and followed in.

Ouyang Zhi originally wanted to leave one person behind, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what the situation was inside, they were all superpowers, and if something happened, they could help each other. So he motioned for everyone to follow.

The trees here are not tall species. The highest is around 20 meters. However, the trunk of the tree is very thick, and there are many branches, so people feel as if they are covering the sky and the sun when they walk in it. The light was scattered through the gaps. The sight in the woods is still good. And according to their observations, these trees don't seem to be some mutated plants, except for a little luxuriant. Of course, they didn't dare to relax either.

Sure enough, after walking nearly 15 meters, they found another house. It's just that this house is a bit strange, and it's not what those stilted buildings in front of it look like. Rather, it is a house built of bamboo on flat ground. Even the fence is made of bamboo. The yard enclosed by the fence is about 10 square meters, and when you open the fence door and enter, there is a well on the ground on the left, and a vegetable patch on the right, on which the vegetables have withered and rotted. Behind the vegetable patch is a chicken coop house, and the chickens in it are gone. It's chicken feathers all over the floor.
