Summer, noon, 56 degrees Celsius.

The scorching sun poured uncontrollably, and the air of the parched earth distorted, but this forest that grew on the remains of the ruins showed a strange and insolent vitality, as if it disdained such high temperatures.

Yes, there is no adaptation, it has long since died, such high temperatures in 2177 are just the usual.

Tang Ling lay quietly in a clump of iron grass, like a lurking cheetah, silent and patient.

His goal was unusually simple, a water source less than a hundred meters in front of him.

The water source is very large, under the reflection of the sun, like a huge mirror, which is full of third-level drinking water that Tang Ling longs for, Tang Ling has calculated, according to his running speed, I am afraid that it will not take 7 seconds, he can run to the water source, drink happily, and even take a luxurious bath.

But how can life be so simple, life is not a paradise, if this tertiary drinking water source can be taken so easily, I am afraid that it has long been occupied by which force in the settlement, where is his turn Tang Ling to wait here?

Sweat dripped from his forehead, obscuring the scene in front of him, except for a vague sight of a group of huge scaly horses drinking quietly at the water's edge, flicking their tails from time to time to drive away giant gadflies the size of fists.

They look very gentle, even drinking water is so unhurried, but Tang Ling knows in his heart how terrifying these mutant scale horses are, they can easily step through the rocks with one foot, and the scales on their bodies are difficult to penetrate even if they are bullets, not to mention that this group of guys They seem to be elegant, but in fact they are violent, once the aliens approach their range within 20 meters, they will inevitably attack.

Moreover, it is a group attack.

Gently, carefully, Tang Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead and licked his dry lips, according to his calculations, if he continued like this, it would take about 3 hours and 17 minutes at most, and he would die of dehydration.

But things are not desperate, in the past two days of careful observation around this water source, Tang Ling has already gained some experience, and found the best place now, he is sure.

Five minutes passed, and the group of mutant scale horses finally had their fill, and after a few long neighs of excitement, they slowly left collectively and disappeared into the dense forest not far away.

It was at this time that there was another shocking muffled sound from the northwest direction, which felt like a slight earthquake, and if an experienced hunter was here, he could hear at once that it was the sound of a herd of steel-maned pigs running.

The law of the jungle is like this, the cost of fighting between ethnic groups is too great, so some kind of tacit understanding is formed to avoid conflict.

Therefore, this water source will not be safe for 24 hours, and there will always be such and such dangerous guys who come here to drink.

But Tang Ling moved at this time, and his calves, which had been tense, kicked the ground fiercely, borrowing a huge rebound force, coupled with the speed of the explosion, like a sharp arrow rushing straight towards the water source.

This is the only opportunity he can take advantage of, from the departure of the mutant scale horse to the arrival of the steel-maned pig, there will be a time difference of less than a minute, but the key is that the steel-maned pig's eyesight is very poor, and if he is not close to a range of 100 meters, he can't see Tang Ling's existence at all.

This meant that their terrifying acceleration collision would not occur beyond the range of 100 meters, and Tang Ling would have 56 seconds to fetch water.

In less than 7 seconds, Tang Ling was already squatting at the water source, wheezing, but he had already taken out a large empty bottle from his arms and began to pour water into the empty bottle.

The sun is still hot, the air is quiet, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Ling's mouth, two days of hard work, finally to.... But I didn't want to, but at this moment, there was a sound of 'Si Xi Suosuo' from the dense forest, and the frequency of the rhythm was extremely fast.

Don't! Tang Ling's ears were sensitive, he heard such a voice for the first time, and he looked up in shock, and what caught his eyes was indeed three 11-meter-long giant tooth crocodiles, which were on the opposite bank less than 100 meters away from Tang Ling.

How can there be a megalodon? Although the temperature was as high as 56 degrees, cold sweat oozed from Tang Ling's forehead! It seems ridiculous to think that after two days of observation, you have learned everything about this water source.

At this time, the megalodon had obviously discovered Tang Ling, the unknown mutation made this crocodile's gaze very sharp, and after locking on to the target, they crawled a little faster, and soon approached the water source.

"This guy is definitely a 'little guy' among mutated crocodiles, but these guys are thieves and greedy, and they will never let it go as long as they think it is meat they can eat. As soon as you spot them, your only option is to stay away from them. Tang Ling remembered Uncle Zhang's words, in the settlement, although Uncle Zhang was not an excellent hunter, he was definitely an experienced and encyclopedic hunter.

In just an instant, Tang Ling remembered everything he knew about the Megalodon, and all he was faced with was a choice, giving up the opportunity in front of him or continuing.

This is a difficult choice to make, but in this era, hesitation is often a luxury, and when Tang Ling thought of his mother-in-law and little sister at home, he had already made a decision.

The three megalodons had already dived into the water, and the speed of the megalodon in the water was much faster than on land, and as soon as they entered the water, they rushed towards Tang Ling like three heavy cannonballs.

Their eyes flashed with greedy excitement, and this seemingly weak prey did not choose to flee, and it seemed that they were destined to have a 'meal' that was better than nothing.

Yes, Tang Ling didn't give up the opportunity to get water in front of him, and he didn't even know if it was because he was afraid, he suddenly closed his eyes at such a nervous moment.

behaves like a person who has no strength but is 'greedy' and doesn't know how to choose.

But if you look closely, Tang Ling's lips are moving slightly, very rhythmic, if you can hear it, you will find that his subtle voice is just counting.

This is Tang Ling's survival in this era, an intuition that he calls 'precision instinct'.

This intuition allows him to accurately detect the moment danger is coming, so that he can respond in advance.

It was with this that Tang Ling carried the heavy life of this era at a young age.

"One, two, three..."

Bursts of hot wind blew from the Tieqi grassland not far away, blowing the hair in front of Tang Ling's forehead, and the cold sweat on his forehead had dried for some time, and the right hand that was placed in the water to draw water was unusually stable, and occasionally a larva as big as a thumb swam past his hand, and it did not affect the stability of this hand at all, and even the angle of taking water did not change a little.

"Four..."

At this time, Tang Ling was still less than 30 meters away from the megalodon.

"Five..."

In the last dozen meters, one of the giant toothed crocodiles that rushed to the front had already grinned slightly excitedly, revealing its sharp and huge teeth.

"Six..."

At this time, Tang Ling shouted, and at the same time, his body jumped backwards, and the bottle in his hand brought out a crystal splash when it came out of the water, refracting colorful light in the scorching sun.

The huge inertia made Tang Ling's body retreat more than three meters before landing heavily, and the calf that had been accumulating strength twitched slightly because of the excessive force just now.

The dust raised, the abrasions caused by the hard earth, and even the calves were not a problem, Tang Ling was as if he didn't feel anything, and the moment he hit the ground, he rolled over, stood up and fled in the direction away from the water source.

At this moment, there was a cold closing sound from behind Tang Ling, it was the sound of two rows of steel-like teeth hitting each other, it was still less than two seconds late, and the giant tooth crocodile that rushed to the front bit into the air.

When it rushed out of the water with a huge wave, Tang Ling had already run a distance of more than ten meters, and it was impossible for the sawtooth crocodile, which had an average speed on land, to catch up.
