Tianxiang looked at the sleeping clansmen huddled together on the ground, and a faint smile and worry slowly appeared in the corners of his eyes. At this moment, he didn't feel like a brigade commander at all. He only felt that he was a person, an ordinary person like them. Even, he wanted to sleep sweetly like them, without any burden. Instead of taking on the heavy obligations of all leaders here.

Ideas are ideas after all, and they don't help reality at all. Shaking his head with a wry smile, Tianxiang closed his eyes again and entered the necessary meditation state every day. The wind is blowing desperately, as if it wants to sweep away all the distractions of the world. Make room for the snowflakes falling in the sky to make a grand enough foothold. But the ruins and dead trees that stood everywhere clearly did not want to give up the territory they already occupied. Although the hard frozen ground imprisons their steps, they have to fight and indignation and can only stay in place completely. But they still held their heads up stubbornly in their own way, silently and hatefully staring at the air and between the holes in their bodies, the wind that swept through it with impunity, and laughed at its ignorance and arrogance without giving in. The snow is still falling. Compared to when I first camped, the snowflakes were much more dense. Stretch out your hand, and when you don't do it, you can get tired of a handful of cold snow flakes between your palms.

In such a situation, the range of vision that can be reached by the naked eye is of course extremely limited, and even at such a limited distance, it is extremely difficult to see a small object smoothly. It's a blurry feeling, like being in front of a glass window that is so transparent. It was pasted with a thick layer of white frosted tissue paper. The four sentries occupied several locations ranging from the camp according to their position. A few hidden corners are their best warning points. Of course, these people who took turns on duty did not relax their vigilance because of the heavy snow and cold.

Although, in such weather, it is almost impossible for any creature to think of going out hunting. Bugs, like humans, are afraid of the cold. Instead of coming out and freezing to death, it is better to go hungry and huddle in a warm nest for a good night's sleep. The sentinel's alert point is within the detection range of the Sky and Earth. Therefore, he was fully able to feel the every move of these people. You can also know exactly what they're doing.

It's just that. Such detection can only be maintained at a limited distance. Once exceeded. Tianxiang also didn't know what it was. Now he feels like the ancients said that the "radar" is specially used to detect movement. It's just that the search distance is only a little more than 1,000 meters.

The vast land was covered with snowflakes. Under their reflection, the dim world also seemed much brighter and whiter than usual. It's just that. The location of the ruins and trees obscured this limited light. As a result, there are many silent black spots added to the white horizon out of thin air. Directly north, that is the direction of the rescue team's trip. It is also an extension of the road that passes through the current ruins. The careful Tianxiang even arranged a clansman to act as a guard in the hole of the dead tree not far from the road. Entrusted with a great responsibility, he was also desperately opening his eyes wide, carefully trying to distinguish the tiny black dots in the distance. Hopefully, you'll find a hint of the unexpected. However, he didn't notice: from the horizon between the ruins that could no longer be normal, a tiny black dot suddenly appeared that should not exist.

Nothing can appear out of thin air.

Unless, it's because of some external force.

Or because it has life in itself. Ability to move autonomously. But the appearance of this black dot. Clearly not in the first case. Because, its volume is gradually increasing, slowly enlarged.

It was approaching the sleeping crowd. Although, it's slow, it's quite slow.

If you change it in normal times. The vigilant sentinels will surely find the clues. After all, they live under the threat of death every day, and their physical senses have long been honed to be extremely sharp. Sometimes, even the slight footsteps of insects moving in the distance can be heard clearly by them with their ears close to the ground. However, the wind is blowing. Snow is also falling. The howling winds and snowflakes make the sensitive ears and sharp eyes lose most of their effects.

The black dots are still moving on. Soon, it was already within the range where the watchman's gaze could roam normally. Obscured by numerous objects, it has been quite discreet, hiding behind the light and moving slowly. Although the speed is quite slow, it is still advancing, gradually narrowing the distance between it and the hunters.

Obviously, it doesn't want others to know about its existence.

Admittedly, this moving black dot is quite shrewd. It knows exactly how it should approach its goal. And it won't attract the attention of the other party. It seemed to know exactly where even a few of the guard sentries were. Because, judging by the route it is traveling, it has completely departed from the normal warning range.

If there is no accident, I believe that even if it runs and sneaks into the camp, no one will find out.

However, such an accident exists. From a few minutes ago, Tianxiang's thoughts had been locked in the direction of due north. Although, at that time, the black spots were far beyond the detection distance of brain waves. But the superhuman preknowledge of the worm brain has made it clear that that the disturbing risk factor should come from there.

Therefore, Tianxiang in meditation consciously goes in that direction and extends his thoughts as much as possible. Although, in doing so, it does not increase the length of the detection range much, but the black dots in the advance gradually shorten the gap between the two... 16 k small says piaotian text version debut..."People? How is it human? Who could it be? This was the first thought that popped into Tianxiang's mind when the edge of the brain wave had just touched the black spot and could not fully analyze it normally. Yes, if you look at the size and shape of the black dots from the perspective of the "heart eye". Anyone will not hesitate to think: this is a person.

It has both hands. There are also feet. Same as normal people. The black dots also walk upright on both feet. In addition, there are times when the jumping action is quite flexible.

However, judging from the fact that it exhibited several jumps as it moved, it did not seem to be the work of man or earth. A standing long jump can instantly jump more than ten meters out of the body. From this point of view alone, even when the Tai Chi Mind Method is working to the extreme, Tianxiang cannot do this. As for the rest of the clansmen, let alone naturally.

Even the strongest hunter may not be able to do this.

"Who the hell is he? What exactly does he want to do? The doubts in Tianxiang's mind grew deeper. People who are able to go out in such bad weather. Of course, there are his own reasons that he can't help but do. The problem is, this one seems to be secretive. And the agility is not like a human and earth guy, what is the purpose of going out in such a cold weather and getting close to his own people?

Thinking of this, Tianxiang suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes. Grab it and place it near the fire. An assault rifle with residual warmth. He ran quickly towards the sentinel guard point in the direction of due north. He was going to close the distance between him and the mysterious black dot. Only in this way can we know the true face of the other party in the shortest possible time. Although Tianxiang himself is not completely sure that he can detect the thoughts in his brain. But no matter what, as long as you can "see" the clothes and appearance of the visitor, you will naturally be able to judge the true intentions of some strangers. The distance between the campsite and the northern guard point is not very far, only a few hundred meters away. Tianxiang, who had burrowed into the hollow of the dead tree, stretched out his index finger to stop the suspicious sentinel's face that he wanted to ask. While quickly releasing the thoughts in his mind, he stretched out as fast as he could, towards the location of the unfamiliar black dot.

"This. What exactly is this thing? This, is this a person? At the moment when Brain Wave had just locked onto the target, Tianxiang was completely stunned by what the "Heart Eye" saw. Completely different from his previous thoughts and speculations, the mysterious "stranger" who had been hiding behind the shadows of the ruins could be a creature with such a strange appearance. With hands and feet, an upright body, and walking entirely on two hind limbs...... All of these. All of them are physical characteristics in the biological world that only humanoids have. Today, after the war and the complete destruction of civilization, the biological population is even more extinct. Therefore, the only living beings on earth who can meet the above conditions should be humans.

At least, in the eyes of many hunters. After all, living in the dark world, they have never found a creature with a very similar appearance to humans. Of course, if all living beings that meet the above conditions can be called "humans", then should this strange black spot be classified as "human"?

Nearly two meters tall, similar to a human. Two powerful hind limbs fully support the weight of the whole body. Dexterous hands carefully caressed the fragments of masonry from the ruins, preventing them from falling and making a sound. Everything indicates: there is no doubt that he is human.

It's just that what kind of person is this! The gray-black "skin" covered his whole body, and the surface of this "skin" was densely covered with coarse body hair. That kind of density makes it impossible to find a little smoothness in the upper and lower parts of Zhou's body. The fingers and toes are unusually well developed, and the sharp nails at the tip are extremely sharp, and their length is almost twice as long. Although the body is completely covered in thick hair, it is not difficult to see the strong muscles and bones hidden underneath. Judging from the broad shoulders and thick arms, "his" hands are quite powerful and terrifying. As for the head, it is not at all proportional to the strong body. "His" head was too small, pitifully small. And has an ugly face that makes people want to vomit when they look at it.

The ears, which are about five centimeters long, stand upright, and the nose, driven by the mouth, protrudes desperately forward, reaching more than twice the position of the head. Look at it from afar. The whole "human head" is like a triangle that can be stretched horizontally. And the lips at the very front. It is impossible to conceal the two sharp incisors protruding from it. They grow from top to bottom, completely obscuring the jaw ministry. Under the glow of the snow, they were already very bright, but they showed an extremely chilling whiteness.

The "heart eye" could even see that drops of translucent disgusting saliva were slowly falling from the tips of their teeth to the ground, and soon turned into strangely colored ice particles...... The most surprising thing about Tianxiang is not these. Behind the "stranger", he also saw something that almost stopped his breathing—the tail.

A thick black and powerful tail with the same stiff hairs on the surface. Judging from a rather resilient protrusion behind it. It should be an extension of the spine.

What kind of person is this? It's clearly a strange creature that hasn't fully evolved. If it were to be classified as human, it would be called "humanoid" at best. Most importantly, it is. This "humanoid", who doesn't know what kind of creature evolved from humans, is obviously quite hostile to the hunters not far away.

Maybe it's because the brain is not fully evolved! Tianxiang's sense of thought easily broke through its defensive brainwaves. From that small triangular head, Tianxiang found very clearly the two words that best represented the creature's current thoughts.

Hunger.

It is clear that this is a "humanoid". He has taken the human hunters in front of him as his prey. From this point of view, it should also be considered a hunter. A hunter who specializes in eradicating humans.

Suppress the horror in your heart. Tianxiang waved his hand, motioning for the sentry next to him to follow him, and completely focused his attention on the direction where the "humanoid" appeared. The assault rifle in his hand also opened the safe, and the two jet-black muzzles silently pointed to the path of the inexplicable creature. "What kind of creature is this?" Although it has been determined that the "humanoid" is friend or foe, Tianxiang still has lingering doubts in his mind. As far as he knew, there weren't many creatures that could survive the war like humans and insects. Even if they survive, their numbers will surely shrink dramatically. Not to mention in the short span of hundreds of years. Evolved to a degree that is quite similar to that of humans. You know, according to the ancient people's view, the evolution of living things takes an extremely long time. Taking the evolution of Australopithecus as an example, hundreds of millions of years have passed. Humanoids like this, which have only appeared in a hundred years or so, have obviously violated the normal laws of development in nature. The "humanoids" seem to have discovered the hidden killing machine on the other side. In the next nearly an hour. He didn't move half a step at all. This wait made Tianxiang and the sentry almost lose patience. If it weren't for the feeling in his mind telling Tianxiang that the opponent still existed, he would have thought that the enemy had slipped away, and he couldn't wait to rush out of the hole in the tree where he was hiding and go to where he was to see what was going on.

However, the "eye of the heart" unmistakably told him: "The enemy is still there, he is waiting, waiting for an appropriate opportunity." "For a long time. The eerie black dot on the horizon moved again. Unable to bear the hunger and cold, he could only speed up his movements. Compared to the cautious caution he had just made, his movements were clearly more frequent and rapid. So much so that the sentinels around Tianxiang didn't need too much reminder to be able to find the clue in it. The cold handle of the gun was naturally held tighter. Snow-deep ground is quite a burden for any traveler. After all, struggling to pull your feet up from knee-deep snow and step into the same restraints again. Such a difficult movement will obviously consume most of the trekker's physical strength. However, the "human-like" action is just the opposite. Tianxiang was surprised to find that the snow bound him almost non-existently. The sturdy "humanoid" leaps nimbly from one ruin to another speed that is not in the slightest symmetrical to his massive body. However, despite the fact that his path had been avoided as much as possible from the observation range of the guard post. However, due to the limitations of the terrain, the "humanoids" can only return to the road leading to the dormitory after skillfully going back and forth many times. Now, it's hidden behind a ruined wall that stands on the side of the road. It was only more than 300 meters away from the muzzle of Tianxiang's gun, which was within the effective range of the assault rifle.

I don't know if it's because of the need for physical strength to be expended, or because they want to get rid of the attention of the vigilant. In short, the "humanoids" hiding behind the ruined wall have not made any movement. Looking at the way it looks, it seems to be waiting for an opportunity. Wait for an absolutely safe and smooth chance to get your prey. Tianxiang's sense of thinking is firmly locked on the target. He didn't dare to let up in any way, and he was surprised by the powerful athleticism displayed from the "humanoids". He even wondered what the odds would be if he fought head-to-head with him.

(The existence of humanoids should actually be a necessity.) After all, there are many kinds of life on the earth, and although insects are extremely vigorous, they cannot always be alone. New populations of organisms will emerge in this book. )
