Chapter 47
Mo Ci suddenly thought of the piranhas in the river, those fish had not mutated, and she had seen some ants and spiders when she was in the woods, which were no different from what she usually saw.
"Not all organisms have mutated, and the theory of virus transmission can be ruled out."
Boss Zhao was a little confused, "According to what you say, how did those monsters come about?" ”
"I don't know."
She didn't have much interest in those monsters right now, and only wanted to get to the mountains as soon as possible to avoid the dangerous place of the forest.
In order to maintain a sense of direction at all times, Mo Ci had to sacrifice a mineral water bottle.
There was only one-sixth of the water left in the bottle, and she cut the bottle in two with a dagger, and put the needle-covered leaf in the water at the bottom, and the upper part of the bottle, which she did not bother to throw, put it in her bag.
With this real-time simple compass, the group took advantage of the bright sky and headed all the way east.
Finding the right direction, they quickly walked out of the woods and came to a very empty flat land, which was flat but overgrown with weeds and was knee-high.
After this meadow, there are barren mountains ahead.
Mo Yu slipped into the weeds regardless of it, and somehow, Mo Ci looked at the dense grass and felt a little uneasy, so he dragged Mo Yu back and said, "Don't worry, everyone. ”
"How can you not be in a hurry?" Nian Xiaoye interjected: "Before it gets dark, we have to climb the mountain. ”
"Before you decide to step into this bush, I want to do one thing."
"What's the matter?"
Mo Ci took out a lighter from his pocket, picked up a little hay from the ground and lit it, and then threw it into the grass, and soon, a puff of smoke rose from the grass, and the fire burned in a short time.
Nian Xiaoye couldn't understand Mo Ci's reason for doing this, she grabbed Mo Ci's arm and shouted, "Are you crazy? You lit a torch, how long will it burn, can we go to the other side of the mountain in the Year of the Monkey? ”
Mo Ci didn't want to explain too much to her, and looked at the fire in front of him with a heavy face, the fire forced out some reptiles, those reptiles were big and small, and they looked weird, they crawled very fast, and they were forced to flee in all directions by the raging fire.
Seeing this scene, Nian Xiaoye glanced at Mo Ci in shock, and admired Mo Ci more or less in his heart.
If it weren't for Mo Ci's caution, they might have been eaten by those reptiles as soon as they stepped into the grass.
"There may be danger everywhere on this island, so it's better to be careful." Mo Ci said very calmly.
She even had the urge to burn the whole island with a fire.
"It's a southwesterly wind today, and the fire should spread all the way to the southwest." Song Yelin said.
Mo Ci nodded and smiled: "Just what I want." ”
The reptiles quickly fled and disappeared, and the fire was really like Song Yelin said, spreading to the southwest by the direction of the wind.
The southwest direction is where they have not yet been, and this fire is estimated to burn many mutated creatures, and some of those who survive will inevitably flee in the opposite direction of the fire.
"This fire could burn the entire island." Boss Zhao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as he looked at this fire.
Mo Ci was very calm, in fact, they should have done this a long time ago.
For now, as long as they climbed the mountain in front of them, they wouldn't be affected by the fire, and besides, she thought of a way to get out of here.
She didn't say it yet, because it wasn't always possible.
By noon, the fire had reached the woods to the southwest, and the meadow in front of them had become a charred ruin, and although the fire had been extinguished, the surface temperature was still very high.
Everyone choked on the smoke and coughed violently.
"Sister, it's not a way to wait like this." Mo Yu said.
"I know."
The fire had already burned into the woods, and it wouldn't be long before a large number of mutated creatures would escape in their direction, and the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it became.
She looked around, caught a glimpse of the bamboo forest she had passed by, and walked towards the bamboo forest without thinking.
Everyone else strode after her, not knowing what she was going to do.
Seeing that she found a stone with a pointed tip from the ground and smashed the bamboo, everyone began to follow her example.
Song Yelin saw through Mo Ci's thoughts at a glance, he threw everyone's broken bamboo in a pile, and Li Yanqi divided the bamboo into one by one, and then split it from the middle.
Since they had no tools at their disposal, they could only use daggers and stone smashes to split the bamboo little by little.
The bamboo was almost collected, so Mo Ci took out a thin piece of clothing from her backpack and divided the clothes into pieces with a dagger, and then she picked up a piece of bamboo that Song Yelin had chopped and stepped on it under her feet, and firmly fixed it with a strip of cloth.
"So you're going to use bamboo to make the soles of your shoes." Father Mo was surprised and delighted, he knew that this girl had been smart since she was a child, but he didn't expect her to be able to calmly come up with a way under such circumstances.
Although there was some delay, I would not burn my feet when I stepped on this piece of bamboo and walked on the ground that had just been burned by the fire.
Bamboo has thick and thin, and the thinner one must be fixed together, otherwise the width is not enough.
Everyone followed Mo Ci's example and used strips of cloth to fasten the bamboo pieces to the soles of their shoes.
Except for the path, everyone fixed the bamboo pieces under their feet, and then held hands in twos and threes, and stepped on the extremely hot land together, as soon as they approached, it was like entering a steamer.
Mo Ci was sandwiched between Mo Yu and her father, she was a girl after all, and the two of them protected her quite much, lest she have any mistakes.
Li Yanqi led Xu Ziheng, Song Yelin carried the path on his shoulder, led Jiang Chen with one hand, and followed Mo Ci and them all the way, leaving Boss Zhao, Wu Xueli and Nian Xiaoye, they had to form a group, although they disliked each other, but for the sake of safety, they still held each other's hands tightly.
Fortunately, the area of this land is not large, and they successfully stepped through it when the bamboo under their feet was already burned.
Mo Ci glanced back behind him, and in the bamboo forest where they were standing not long ago, several mutated monsters appeared, looking a bit like leopards, and they should have been big cats before the mutation.
Everyone dismantled the bamboo pieces on the soles of their feet and headed towards the foot of the mountain.
As far as the eye can see, the raging fires and billowing smoke have completely swallowed up the woods in the southwest, and screams can be heard from time to time in the distance, and all kinds of sounds are mixed together, and the chaos is chaotic.
"Don't look at it, we need to hurry." Song Yelin pulled Mo Ci, and his voice was soft and soft.
Mo Ci turned his head and collided with his inky black eyes.
His usually deep and cold eyes revealed a rare gentleness.
