"Sleep, sleep."

In the dark, Culomb took Qiu Yu's arm and walked into the tent like a rubber gloved hand.

Qiu Yu took out the flashlight and wanted to light it up, but as soon as the light of the flashlight appeared in the tent, Jack and Coulomb shouted at the same time, "Turn it off, turn it off quickly." They just screamed like this, but they didn't explain why, as if they didn't want to waste even time to explain.

"It's okay, no matter how much the light is twice as strong now, it can't see through this tent."

Qiu Yu's words made Jack stunned for a moment, then got up and looked outside the tent, and saw that the light really didn't shine out at all, so he walked in with peace of mind.

"I don't know how you have so many good things, if these are produced from where you came from, I'm afraid the scientists in our colony won't have much to do." Jack lay down on the soft carpet that came with the tent.

Qiu Yu smiled, and adjusted the light pillar of the flashlight to the electric light mode that shone around, "These are not produced, but exchanged for things, and in our place, the manufacturing technology and conditions of these things are monopolized by others...... It's still something that only you can make can really be regarded as your own. ”

"That's right." Coulomb also learned from Jack to lie down on the carpet, "Who looks outside first?" ”

"Vigil?" Qiu Yu shook his head, "It shouldn't be necessary, it's pitch black outside, even animals with shimmering vision can't see at all, and we can't see anything outside either, right?" ”

"The real night hasn't started yet, so it's better to get a little more sleep now, or you won't be able to fall asleep in the middle of the night." Jack has become accustomed to Autumn Feather's ignorance.

"Okay." Qiu Yu is a person who is very willing to accept other people's advice, especially in areas that he is not good at, so after answering the call, he immediately lay down and went to sleep.

"Turn off the lights and save some electricity."

Akiha, "...... Good. ”

I don't know how long I slept, but Autumn was woken up by a sound like a wolf's howl, but when she opened her eyes, it was still pitch black all around.

In Qiu Yu's feelings, there seemed to be countless people who were not aimed at themselves, but there was an unusually strong sense of crisis, and he subconsciously touched his hand to the switch of the flashlight, but this action itself brought him a stronger sense of crisis than before, so Qiu Yu terminated this action and replaced it with another safer way.

The tactile sensation of perception spreads rapidly to the surroundings like a liquid dripping onto paper.

In the tent, Culomb was still asleep, while Jack had a gun in his hand, half of his body out of the tent and carefully observing the front.

Qiu Yu slightly restrained the perception scattered around, and turned the main direction of the spread of perception to the place where Jack's line of sight was frightening.

As the perception continued to stretch forward, the world in Qiu Yu's mind was banished from a clear path like the fog of war in the game.

A few of the stones, which had long been covered with cracks, finally could not withstand the cold again, and little by little they broke into smaller stones.

In the cracks of the stones, countless strange things were falling asleep, and the small stones that fell on them could not wake them up from their deep sleep, but the footsteps of some other animals could startle them into running away in groups.

Further down the rocks, small snake-like earthworms dug through the dirt, swallowing whatever organic matter was buried in them, along with the surrounding dirt, but the small amount of food was far from satisfying their appetites. As they approached the ground, the sleepers, who were unusually sensitive to terrestrial animals, were unable to cope with these sudden subsidences, and all of them became earthworm food.

There are also some animals that can run away, and they have specially entered the body of the earthworm, and it seems to use it as a comfortable mobile restaurant.

The battles between these critters are innumerable in Akiba's perceptual range, and the farther away, the number of battles decreases dramatically, but the scale increases.

Fighting between these animals is no longer limited to claws and fangs, everything on their bodies is a weapon.

A creature that couldn't tell whether it was a cat or a dog fought fiercely with a giant wolf that was several laps larger than a mouse, whether it was size, strength or attack ability, the strange creature had to be below, but it didn't run away, it took the initiative to rush towards the giant wolf again and again, and a puff of blood swayed in the air like no money.

Blood loss must be accompanied by a loss of physical strength, and the animal was finally seized by the giant wolf and bit off a large piece of flesh from its body. But after more than ten seconds, the body of the giant wolf, who had proudly eaten this piece of meat, began to convulse, and after losing even the strength to stand, he fell to the ground heavily.

The cat-like creature didn't care about the hideous wounds on its body, but walked up to the giant wolf gracefully, and was not in a hurry to end the giant wolf's life, but directly in the giant wolf's frightened and painful gaze, it began to gnaw on its thighs.

Under the effect of Qiu Yu's perception ability, this eating scene seemed to be close at hand, and the flesh and blood that was swallowed in a mouthful seemed to be torn from his body, and after a few seconds of desperate persistence, the perception that spread out was like an upside-down movie, and it was all retracted into Qiu Yu's body in an instant. The surroundings were once again plunged into endless darkness.

"You woke up before the excitement started?"

Qiu Yu thought that he didn't make any movement at all, but Coulomb, who had indeed fallen asleep just now, spoke in a voice that did not have the slightest tiredness.

Qiu Yu nodded before remembering that the other party couldn't see his movements, "There seems to be light outside." ”

Jack's body on the outside pressed the surrounding tents, so the light did not come in from the outside, but Qiu Yu "saw" in his own perception, but the "seeing" was not clear.

"I'd rather there be no light out there." Coulomb's voice sounded a little farther away than it had just been, and it seemed to crawl towards Jack's position, "How's it going?" ”

Hearing Coulomb's voice, Jack shrank back, "It's okay, the center point this time is far away from our position. “

"The central point? What is the central point? Qiu Yu relied on his memory and the voices of the two of them to move to the edge of the tent.

"It's the center of the mutant animals looking for food in a certain area at night, and I was quite surprised when I saw it for the first time. Do you want to see it? ”

Jack lifted the corner of the tent. A world beyond Qiu Yu's resemblance came into his eyes through this narrow gap.

Countless green lines kept jumping and gathering together in the dark, and in the center of the gathering, the green lines that arrived first twisted violently, three or four, or even dozens of them came together to form a variety of abstract transformation figures, only a small part of the graphics could last for a long time, and more were based on lines, and after breaking apart, they quickly disappeared in the darkness.

"Those are glow-in-the-dark animals, but there's more than one kind. They attract prey with their light and also become prey to other animals because of their light. So the location of these glow-in-the-dark animals can quickly cause a big scuffle, depending on who can eat and leave before they are eaten. ”

As Jack explained, those green lines diminished dramatically. It's not that they're dead, it's that a lot of non-glowing animals are attracted and block the view of several people after joining this hellish dinner.

After more than ten minutes, it would take a long time for the green lines to be seen, and the visual amazement turned into a mixed sound.

Although Qiu Yu couldn't tell in the dark how far away the location where all this happened was from here, it was at least two or three kilometers away from his senses alone. But the roars of animals, the wails of wounds, the cries of dying, the shaking of the ground are all clearly audible, as if you were in the middle of a battlefield where you are constantly killing.

"This ...... On this scale, if it were to happen all around us, would a few of our guns be useful?" Qiu Yu's voice was full of fear.

"That's why I have to keep a vigil." Jack no longer lowered his voice now, but had to be as loud as possible so that Qiu Yu could hear his words clearly, "If you find that the first animal to appear gathers around us, you must disperse immediately, and if it is useless, we will run." As long as you leave these glowing animals in the first place, there is basically no problem, after all, they are much more visible than us in the dark. ”

"Oh......" Qiu Yu quietly looked at the darkness filled with bloody aura, and let out a deep breath after a long time, "Isn't normal predation okay?" Why do these animals have to fight for a meal? ”

"Because they are creatures accustomed to the night, but they cannot get used to the absolute darkness of the present night, and only such a fair opportunity for all will not allow all the animals to starve to death in their respective hiding, because they cannot meet each other, otherwise it will be a great waste of food. However, this seeming fairness is built on unfairness. Weak animals are the first to cause chaos, hoping to pick up the cheap in the conflict of the powerful animal, but in the case of food all around, the strong animal always has a tacit understanding to avoid the conflict, so it is often the weak animal that tries to pick up the cheap one that becomes food. As a result, the powerful animals are fed, the relatively strong animals are injured, and most of the weak animals become food, and there are quite few weak animals that can actually pick up the cheap. But even so, these weak animals can only rely on this method of gambling again and again to continue their lives. Because this is what they must do before they can find a suitable way to survive under the great changes......"

Coulomb's philosophical words made Qiu Yu instinctively apply these contents to this game in an instant, and his blurred vision suddenly became clear, not because he saw things, but because he was clear, he could see what would appear in the future.
