Chapter 226: Observation and Decision
After going back, Luo Yuan explained the matter, and not surprisingly, everyone decided to evacuate here temporarily. ≥ ≥ ≥ little ≥ said.
Before he left, he had given everyone a warning, so some necessary luggage had already been prepared. Not long after the fourth wave of attacks fell, the group picked up their luggage and left the grotto quickly.
Under Luo Yuan's order, the monitor lizard took heavy steps and trotted all the way forward, the grotto gradually blurred in its vision, and when the group got into the jungle, they could no longer see it, and a faint melancholy surged into everyone's hearts.
This is the norm for survivors in the last days, there is no fixed home, maybe today you have just found a safe place and stocked up on a lot of food, but the next day, you may be forced to leave, and have to leave behind a lot of hard work to collect supplies, go to a safer place, and then, all the supplies, collect again, and wait for the next migration to come.
This is helplessness in the last days, all for survival.
……
The dense network of trees overhead obscures all view from the sky.
After nearly an hour and a half of travel, everyone returned to their original camp again, and at this moment, everyone was relieved that they felt a strong sense of security here.
In fact, it was only thirty or forty kilometers away from the grotto, which was not an absolutely safe distance, but no one wanted to run to another strange place and take unpredictable risks.
As for absolute safety, in the last days, where is there an absolutely safe place, it is better to leave your life to fate than to take risks.
However, this kind of negative thinking definitely does not include Luo Yuan.
Being driven out of his home by a pale green-level mutant creature was definitely a shame for him, but at this time, he could only temporarily press down on his restless mind.
……
Three days passed quickly, and in the past few days, in order to avoid the discovery of mutant birds, everyone has given up daytime activities.
Now that the weather is hot, and the cave is completely closed, the air cannot circulate, and staying in it, like a sauna, even breathes with a hint of burning, as for the foul air, and all kinds of sour and rotten complex smells, there is no need to mention it.
Fortunately, I brought a lot of water with me before I came, but I didn't have to think about drinking water.
It is only in the evening that people can come out, breathe in the fresh and cool air of the night, and eat some food.
In the past few days, the attacks of mutant birds have been maintained intermittently, but compared with the first day, the frequency has decreased significantly, and it is even more irregular, sometimes there is no attack throughout the day, but in the evening, it is furious, and it is constantly bombarding indiscriminately.
Moreover, it is estimated that the other party has already been suspicious of Luo Yuan and others not showing up for a long time, at the beginning, it was basically flying at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, and it did not show up much, but in the past few days, it has begun to fly lower and lower, hovering over the grotto for several hours every day.
However, it could not have imagined that dozens of kilometers away, its enemies were collecting all the information about it in every detail.
More than ten kilometers away from the grotto, on the branches of a big tree, Luo Yuan hid under the lush leaves, his eyes staring closely at the giant bird that kept hovering in mid-air.
Of course, spying on the mutant bird was only one of them, and he was also keeping an eye on the wisdom tree.
In the past few days, due to the feeding of a large number of corpses, the Wisdom Tree has grown wildly, compared to three days ago, not only has it almost doubled in size, but even the color of the trunk has faintly changed, and it seems that it has reached the juncture of transformation!
At the same time, the wisdom fruit on the tree also begins to ripen in large quantities, giving off an attractive aroma.
However, near the grotto, the slightly dangerous mutant beasts that have been repeatedly swept by the giants are almost extinct, and there are not many creatures to patronize them at all, and the wisdom tree that has been activated to the feeding state is also absolutely terrifying.
In the past few days, Luo Yuan has seen several mutant beasts trying to get close to the Wisdom Tree, only to be wrapped tightly by those white silks.
The mutant bird circled for a while, and finally lost its patience, and it stopped rising into the air, throwing a multi-ton boulder directly at the cliff. It probably also felt that its previous behavior was really useless.
The rock fell onto the rock wall with a loud "boom". Under the violent impact, a piece of mountain rock on the rock wall cracked, tumbled and fell, and smashed heavily into the stone wall corridor, breaking a gap several meters wide.
It waited for a few more minutes, saw that there was no movement, chirped in disappointment, and then flapped its wings and flew off into the distance.
Luo Yuan calmly watched it move away quickly, until it disappeared completely, and then jumped from the tree.
As a rule of thumb, today it is not coming back.
He touched the trunk of the tree, there was a deep knife mark there, and the same was on a nearby tree, these two marks were the marks left by him when he observed the flight path of the mutant bird yesterday, he carefully compared, and found that the direction of the mutant bird was exactly the same when it left in the past two days.
This can only show one problem, this direction, is exactly the location of its nest.
After all, if it's hunting, it's impossible to go in the same direction every time you go back, and the odds are so low that it's almost negligible.
He groaned in his heart:
He believes that no matter how high a bird flies, there will always be a time when it lands, and this is its flaw, and looking at its range of activities, it will definitely not be too far.
On the first day, when the attack frequency was at its highest, the interval between the Mutant Bird's attacks was about twenty minutes, including the time to go back and forth, and the time to catch the boulder and lift off, which was ten minutes for one way. And the boulder at the time of the attack is likely to be taken from the local material nearby, and a mind dominated by hatred cannot still be in the mood to come back from a boulder and come back to attack again, which is unrealistic.
The speed of the mutant bird is very fast, but it has not exceeded the speed of sound, only about two-thirds of the speed of sound, and the speed is about seven times that of him, if the mutant bird takes ten minutes to travel, he needs an hour and ten minutes, considering the problem of physical strength and slope fluctuations, it may be nearly two hours, if you consider that the nest may be farther away than the place where the boulder is taken, the time will take longer.
Another key point is that most birds are sensitive and agile, and the mutant birds that evolved from birds are no exception, and if they are spotted and fly with their wings, they will be difficult to kill.
But this is easy to solve, the 'Green Hermit Horn' he has always kept, with the Green Hermit's perfect shielding perception ability, coupled with proper camouflage, as long as it doesn't make a big move, it should be able to fool the mutant bird. ”
His brain was running at high speed, quickly analyzing all the situations he could take into account.
……
A four-meter-long, mantis-like mutant insect hides behind a nearby tree trunk and quietly approaches here, its color is the same as the trunk, and it looks like a dead branch attached to the trunk.
The sharp and hideous huge mouthparts opened and closed silently, and the crystal compound eyes clearly reflected Luo Yuan's figure, looking at this creature in front of him, it seemed to have felt the fragrance of flesh and blood.
However, out of caution, it did not attack rashly, it keenly felt that this strange creature exuded a trace of danger, which made it hesitate a little, it patiently observed, and saw that the other party did not move for a long time, and finally it could not resist the temptation of food.
The powerful hind limbs bounced violently, and the body jumped off the tree like lightning.
However, as soon as he jumped into the air, a bright silver light pierced the air in an instant, and with a snap, the corpse fell to the ground, split~ into two parts.
……
After Luo Yuan pondered for a long time, he quickly made a decision, and with a flash of his body, he ran quickly towards the opposite side of the camp.
It's still too early, everything has to wait until after dark, and there is still something to prepare.
Luo Yuan disappeared, leaving a large pile of corpses in place.
It wasn't until a long time later that a bold mutant beast cautiously approached here, its ears turned slightly, and the corners of its eyes were alertly observing the surroundings, and seeing that there was no more danger, it immediately lowered its head and bit a corpse, and fled from this place quickly.
Soon, there were more and more mutant beasts here......
After an hour's wait, even the blood that seeped into the dirt was gone, as if nothing had happened.
