Chapter 554: Finding Food
Ike peered out quietly, his hands outstretched, gently brushing through the grass a few meters high, and peering out through the gaps.
His eyes traversed the lush deep green grass, through the small clear pools of water that had piled up on some of the ground, and not far from them the dangerous bubbling green acid pools, and over the speckled sunlight that filtered through the gaps, and up a series of incomparably tall trees, until finally fixed on the top of a tree.
There, among the thick and dense foliage, some large spherical objects can be faintly seen. The surface of these objects looked furry, grayish-green, and looked like coconuts, and each sphere was huge, almost a meter in diameter, and they were all located under the thick branches, hanging securely underneath them.
"Discover the goal of this trip." Ike whispered to the others behind him, "I've found food, I'll listen to my instructions later." ”
That's right, the purpose of their trip is to find food. After all, the first thing to consider when moving in such a primeval forest is food and water. If the problem of food and clothing for dozens of people is not solved, if they are hungry for a long time, then before the aliens come to kill these people, first of all, there will be problems inside these people.
You know, people can do anything when they are hungry, and even sensational things like eating their own children and lovers in the last days will happen, let alone others. But such a theme was as early as the 21st century. has been written by all kinds of American dramas and European and American books without three views, as well as a certain point of online novels, and in the 24th century, all kinds of sense of honor and sacrifice throughout the entire nation's Zoomlion, it is impossible to do such a thing.
Other words. If such a thing really happened, these people would definitely not do such a thing as killing each other and feeding on their own kind, they would just help each other and survive each other's lives until death.
However, such a thing can be completely avoided, and this is not a desert, but a primeval forest with rich resources and a very good environment. It's a no-brainer to find something to eat from here.
The problem is that there is a lot of food in the primeval forest. There are also many dangerous animals and plants, and many of them just stay near some food, so Ike and the others can only avoid them.
To date, this is the seventh site they have found containing large amounts of food. And before the place. Not a large swarm of dangerous individuals. It's just that there are aliens entrenched, or carnivorous trees that grow next to food at zero distance, so Ike and the others can only give up one after another.
This time, Ike led the others to the seventh place where he could get food, because he had been in such a primeval forest before, and in fact it was in highly virtual games like "Interstellar", so he was very familiar with it.
And past the grass where Ike and the others were at this time were patches of towering trees bearing coconut-like fruits. Under these trees. There was no danger other than an unfathomable pool of bubbling green acid. There are no dangerous animals or carnivorous plants such as aliens.
"Can I get there?" Hargrave asked in a whisper.
"Yes." Ike observed, then nodded, and after leading the way and observing from a distance, everyone already knew that he had extraordinary eyesight.
"Puffey, Arcatez, Lockhart, Norman, you come with me, the rest stay where you are and wait for news, don't act rashly." Ike gave instructions to the people around him, then ordered a few people, and led them forward.
There was no Saiko on the list, and if this was the usual thing, he would have to complain, but the environment was a dangerous primeval forest, so he didn't say anything, and quietly squatted in the grass with the others.
They squat instead of sitting, which inevitably causes some soreness over time, but this is to be able to observe the greater wind and grass and escape in time for a crisis. If an alien strikes, this pre-reacting for a second or two can often save their lives.
At this moment, Ike pushed aside the grass and set off with the four of them, including Pu Fei and the others.
"Put away your weapons, and remember, we're here to pick food, not to mess with any dangerous animals or plants." Ike pushed aside the grass to look ahead, and without looking back, he whispered to the four, "So follow me, hide as much as you can, and make sure they don't even notice." ”
The observation just now only preliminarily confirmed that there were no dangerous animals and plants on the periphery of this place, so Ike decided to take the four of them to pick food, but the situation inside it was unknown.
In such a situation, Ike told Pufei and the others not to think about dealing with danger with weapons, but to try their best to avoid danger. Because the food is high in the trees, it is difficult to shoot there, and in such a quiet primeval forest, a single movement can often trigger a chain reaction that can trigger the arrival of dangerous animals.
Hearing Ike's words, Lockhart and the others immediately did so, although the young man in front of them was only 17 years old and younger than them, but they did not have any contempt, and even put him on the same status as Rezenov.
Because Rezenov once told them that this teenager was dangerous, but he was also very safe. Danger naturally shows that he is powerful; And the safety is because he is his own people and will not deal with them.
From such conversations, it can be seen that Rezenov had completely trusted Ike at that time, and he has always been very accurate in seeing people. And a large part of the reason why Ike is now able to lead these people's actions is inseparable from this.
The four men put away their guns and crouched forward with Ike in the grass, who kept pushing through the lush grass several meters high, gradually approaching the bubbling pool of green acid.
However, of course, he could not lead a few people directly into the green acid pool, but stopped in front of a huge plant like a banyan tree.
"Now, climb up with these." At this time, Ike rose from the grass, and he pointed to the many thick aerial roots that hung down from the trees. (To be continued......)
