Chapter 46 - The Canyon Monster Phenomenon
The largest canyon in the southeast was originally successfully inscribed on the World Heritage List just before the disaster day, because the terrain here was formed by changes in the earth's crust millions of years ago, and it is roughly wavy from above, with an undulating canyon floor and mountains on both sides stretching for a total of more than 70 kilometers, which is quite strange in the southeast where most of the terrain is mountains and hills.
In the early morning, five electric bicycles and 13 wolf-like and dog-like animals strolled through the canyon at a speed of about 10 kilometers per hour.
Along the way, looking east and west, enjoying the scenery, and recording the terrain taken here and there, it is beautifully said: the mission needs, in fact, it is a trip to sneak and divert in the middle of the trip, or to support its equipment and transportation at public expense.
Just as everyone was wandering leisurely, a large group of animals in the canyon seemed to be being chased by something, and they brought up the flying sand and dust in the sky, and then the wolves suddenly stopped, looking at their uneasy reactions
"What seems to be the situation ahead? How is the sky flying sand?"
Zhou Zhiyuan said
"Look at the reaction of the wolves, there should be a great danger approaching ahead"
Liu Jianyu said
"Take shelter from the woods on both sides and see what happens."
Zhou Zhiyuan said
When the sand and dust gradually approached, everyone slowly saw that a large herd of animals was running desperately, buffalo, wild horses, goats, pheasants, wild dogs, wild boars, wild deer and other animals.
Not long after the animals ran past, a strong rancid smell wafted over, followed by countless familiar low roars such as "hiss...", "roar...", "ha...", and thousands of rotting living corpses rushed after them.
"A living corpse running after an animal? Now what's going on? ”
Zhou Zhiyuan asked suspiciously
"Haven't we seen a living corpse attack a chicken or duck before?"
Zhang Hongda asked
"That's because those small animals are near the living corpses, and there are no villages and towns with a large population living within dozens of kilometers here, where did the living corpses come out to chase such a large group of animals, and how did all kinds of animals gather together?"
Zhou Zhiyuan frowned
"I found that the animals were chasing living corpses with wounds, severed limbs, and a large area of decay."
Chen Guohao said
"We have seen living corpses that have begun to heal slowly before they have eaten people, and I guessed that the recovery of living corpses should be achieved by eating corpses, and the phenomenon we have seen today proves this, they may really be hungry, or want to change themselves or something."
Xie Dongcheng Road
"What do we do next? If we continue to investigate, we must investigate why the corpses were chasing the wild animals."
Liu Jianyu asked
"All the footage was recorded, right? Let's move on, focus on what we have at hand, and just give them something back to them."
Zhou Zhiyuan said
The five of them and the wolves continued to move towards the next destination, although the valley was trampled by animals and corpses after running wildly, but it did not prevent the five of them from continuing to swim in the mountains and rivers, although the situation just now made people's hearts a little inexplicably heavy.
"There are no animals in the vicinity, and the wolves feel like there are no living creatures or living corpses nearby"
Zhou Zhiyuan said
At the time of rest, the wolves scattered and searched for a while, and returned empty-mouthed.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if the canine doesn't eat for a few days, as long as there is water to drink, it can last for days"
Xie Dongcheng Road
"What do you think about what happened?"
Zhou Zhiyuan asked
"I don't know what to say, so I feel bad"
Zhang Hongda said
"I think it should be more dangerous for animals to become living corpses than human corpses, and the competition of pure strength and skill between humans and humans is not an opponent."
Chen Guohao said
"Personally, I feel that those animals just now are absolutely unlucky, the physical strength of animals has a limit, and the living corpse seems to never run out of physical strength."
Liu Jianyu said
"If a head-on confrontation is really impossible to resist, the good thing is that human beings are very good at using their wisdom and tools to face various enemies and situations"
Chen Guohao said
"I am more worried that the death of animals will have an unpredictable impact on the entire ecology, and if there is a situation that exceeds what we can bear, the current level of technology and production capacity cannot withstand another disaster."
Xie Dongcheng said solemnly
"We don't have any way to do this, we can't even guarantee our own survival now, let alone this dream event of the fate of all mankind."
Zhou Zhiyuan second-hand stall
After resting for a while, the group headed in the direction of the grassland again, the road in the rocky valley was bumpy, and everyone flew up and down the large rocky and sandy roads as if performing a stunt, and found many intricate footprints along the way, which confirmed another heavy thing.
"How did the ability of living corpses become so strong, there were only smooth roads to walk before, and now obstacles of this level can be overcome, I don't know if it is an exception like being attracted by blood, or a general improvement"
Xie Dongcheng solemnly said to the wireless road
"I hope it's just a special reaction when you're hungry and crazy, if it's a common situation, it's dangerous now for both survivors in the city and those who are trying to escape outside, not only running but also basic climbing and jumping?!"
Zhang Hongda said
"Collect all these images, sort them out at night, and send them to Lao Zeng and them together, to see if he can send the news through various channels of the military and civilians, and send them to our base nearby, and the pace of collecting survivors and resources must be accelerated..."
Zhou Zhiyuan said solemnly
"Shall we hurry up and get to the base later?"
Chen Guohao said
"We'll check the map when we camp at night, if there is a shortcut to get to the base quickly."
Liu Jianyu said
During the conversation, everyone had already run out of the route of the canyon, and a wide grassland was displayed in front of everyone's eyes, and many dwarf wild horses were scattered on the grassland in the middle, I don't know if they migrated later or how they were not pursued by the living corpses before.
"What kind of horse is this? Why is it so short, and only more than a meter tall, not much bigger than the previous dogs? ”
Zhang Hongda asked curiously
"I saw a special feature of pre-existing animals on the Internet before, and this seems to be the original form of the horse that is currently known, and the first appearance of a horse on earth looked like this."
Xie Dongcheng Road
"It's the first time I've seen a pony that isn't afraid of wolves and a wolf that doesn't want to eat ponies..."
Zhou Zhiyuan muttered to himself
"It's the first time I've seen carnivores and herbivores ignore each other so much."
Chen Guohao said
The wolves sniffed from one to the other, passing from one herd to another, and the horses were grazing leisurely on the grass with their tails flicking.
