200. Animals that die of heat
The military got in touch with Kyoto. Amer looked at him and whispered.
With just this sentence, Ah Xu's eyes widened, and after the shock, there was a complete silence.
Got in touch? Or Kyoto?
The previous reluctance, unwillingness, doubt and hesitation suddenly all turned into ashes at this moment.
Ah Xu would be dissatisfied with the military and officials in Liangcheng, and he could also distrust it, but when he heard Kyoto, he couldn't help but feel a wave of joy in his heart.
That is the long-standing trust, the foundation of the faith, and the existence that he cannot help but maintain and trust.
Although the catastrophe occurred and the social order collapsed completely, these survivors were born and raised in peacetime, the beliefs they had cultivated since childhood had not collapsed, and their cohesion had not disappeared although it had latent in the face of danger.
In other words, when there is no news, everyone buries the fire and hope, but as soon as there is a signal, the faint flame will burn brightly, and the heat will be emitted from the chest again.
"Let's go!"
Ah Xu came back to his senses and pulled Amer out of the door, he couldn't wait to know the news of Kyoto, he wanted to know the news of other people!
Amer looked at the figure who couldn't wait to run towards the military building, and smiled silently at the corner of his mouth.
Why didn't he want to know, but people who weren't from the military couldn't ask for details, so he could only come back to Ah Xu and them first to discuss joining the military.
Although it was a discussion, Amer had already decided that if Ah Xu and Yaoyao didn't join, he would also join, and someone from them had to join the military, otherwise the news would be too closed.
Although Liang Cheng is still relatively stable, and the survivors are gathering more and more, everyone is like a puppet that has lost its target and soul, and is alive just because it is alive.
But now, it's different, there's outside news, there's news from other people.
And news from the capital!
For the survivors of the Xia Kingdom, a large city in a province is not comparable to Kyoto.
Amer didn't say a word, even if it wasn't Kyoto this time, but just another city, he would lead the team to join the military.
When human beings are on an "island", they can choose to protect themselves, choose to be independent, and can have the "freedom" they want.
But once there is news of other survivors, and other cities come to the surface, they will have to rely on the trees, and individual battles will never compare to organizational battles.
Amer knows very well that in this chaotic world, if the three of them and one dog want to stay among humans and continue to live well, they must see the direction clearly!
…………
basin.
The blue sky was gradually dyed with the color of fire under the scorching sun, the sky was no longer clear, the clouds were not visible, and the entire canopy was occupied by the sun.
It is like a solitary lord, despising everything on earth and unleashing its power unscrupulously.
The great river that stretched across the basin was no longer as strong as it had been, and the water had become so gentle and weak that the current that could sweep the creatures into it no longer had the strength it had once had, and it was as weak as a terminally ill man who could not even breathe.
Compared to the decline in the volume of water in the big rivers, the streams and lakes in the forests have almost bottomed out.
The animals had to come out of the hidden forest and walk to this mother river, which belongs to the basin, to rehydrate.
The glow of the setting sun poured over the earth, the sun had not yet set, and the air was still hot, but many animals were out at this time, and they could not get close to the water source that had been in the forest before.
Not just because the water source was drying up, but also because their status and ability were not enough for them to walk into the area full of beasts.
And if you want to drink water, you want to walk to the river.
The sun was scorching during the day, and the sweat from walking to the river was enough to deter them, and the cold nights were not a good time.
The beasts are stronger, they are less afraid of the cold, and the only time they have a chance to rehydrate without risking too much is before the sun goes down.
At this time, the temperature will be lower than during the day, and they can withstand it, while most of the beasts will not come out to hunt before the sun goes down.
Although the appearance of the surface has changed dramatically, and the animals have changed greatly and small due to the evolution of the aura, the rules in the forest have not changed, the predators have changed due to the changes in their prey, and the herbivores that are prey have also made new choices in order to avoid danger.
"Bang ......" Suddenly, a sika deer that had just run to the grassland fell into the light of the setting sun.
The companion next to him was alarmed, and the sika deer pushed its body, but the sika deer trembled a few times and lost its breath, and it could no longer respond.
Probably because they found out the fact that their companions were "dead", or maybe the light of the setting sun still made them hot and frightened, looking at the river bank not far away, the sika deer made a choice.
One by one, the deer gently arched their companions who had fallen in the grass with their snouts, and then ran non-stop to the river.
A jackal looked at the fallen sika deer and showed longing, it licked its lips, its mouth was dry, and its greedy eyes lit up, and it ran over without hesitation.
The river is close at hand, but the fresh blood of the deer quenches its thirst, and the components in the blood replenish the energy it loses, and the venison fills it.
Just as the jackal was about to run to the sika deer's position, a huge shadow suddenly shrouded it, and the jackal fled sideways in fright.
I only heard the sound of "whew-" flapping wings, and then I was swept by the rolling heat.
Hearing the sound of the wind going away, the jackal that was not attacked dared to look back, only to see that the original sika deer had disappeared, and the prey was intercepted, but I don't know which bird it was.
The jackal, having lost the opportunity to eat, was inevitably a little disappointed, but it quickly turned to the riverbank.
It needs water, and it needs to go to catch a prey, and although it takes a lot of physical effort to catch a living animal, it considers itself lucky compared to death.
As the herbivores reach the riverbank, the river seems to be noisy after a full day of exposure to the scorching sun.
The herbivores stand vigilantly together, their eyes and ears do not stop while drinking water, and the number of beasts that infest them is increasing one after another, and they must always be careful.
Knowing that coming to the riverbank would expose them and put them in danger, the herbivores had no choice but to hydrate every day, or they would die of heat before they were killed by predators.
The "feast" tigers on the river bank did not participate, and the tiger dads did not need to hunt carefully for a long time.
When the sun set on the mountain, Lin Qian and the others were dividing their prey and preparing to make new jerky.
Their jerky has been successfully made, and they already have two bags of stock, but this is far from enough, with the appearance of animals in the forest who died of heat stroke, not only Lin Qian has a sense of crisis, but even Tiger Dad They also noticed that something was wrong.
"Uhh
Jin Wither left its prey and did not stop, it continued to patrol the riverbank, preparing to "pick up the leak".
This sika deer was not given to Lin Qian by the golden wither, but asked Lin Qian to help make it into jerky, and as a reward, the animal skin and other materials belonged to Lin Qian.
Even if there is no remuneration, Lin Qian will not have an opinion, anyway, a sheep is a flock of sheep.
And the request to leave the animal skins that are better than nothing is only to give the golden withers the impression that their tigers will not pay for free. Although this seemed a little impersonal, Lin Qian felt that it was necessary.
After all, they are allies, not like pandas, they are subordinates, and as everyone learns more and more, the concept of trading needs to be built.
The golden withers didn't feel that it was wrong, the spirit beasts went straight and there was no "human sophistication", and after understanding the concept of trading, everyone felt that it was very reasonable.
The salt consumed is not included in the reward, the reward for the animal skin is only processed, and the salt also has a share of the golden wither, and the leader of the golden withering did not open his mouth, or it means that Lin Qian can swallow it alone.
Two days ago, the leader of the golden withering found that many animals in the forest were dying of heat one after another, and he came to find him, and the premonition of the crisis made him very impatient.
When he heard that Lin Qian was about to store food and take out the jerky, the leader of the golden withering did not hesitate to join in.
Although he had plans to store food, Lin Qian did not plan to kill animals on a large scale, and suggested that the golden withers first pick up the spills in the forests and grasslands, and bring back those animals that died of heat to make jerky.
This is not that Lin Qian is kind, but in the long run, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is inevitable that the animals will suffer from heat stroke.
As the water level drops and the water source depletes, it is inevitable that the animals in the basin will migrate again, but they do not need to stock up on jerky.
Because once they moved, Lin Qian and they would definitely follow the herd, and the animals they migrated along the way were their rations, and they were not afraid of starvation at all.
Moreover, it is useless to have too much jerky reserves, the space of chipmunks is so large, that is, it is unrealistic for them to carry their own burdens, and under the scorching sun, the jerky will also deteriorate relatively quickly, unlike the chipmunks, the space is basically maintained at a temperature of more than ten degrees.
Lin Qian didn't make jerky to eat every day, but for emergencies, for fear of accidents, if he was trapped in addition to any danger, or couldn't find anything to eat for a while, jerky was the best emergency product.
During this time, Lin Qianhuan Jin withered herd always paid attention to the movements of the forest, if anything happened, they would leave immediately!
Tiger Daddy and they have no objection to Lin Qian's preparation, the changes in the forest, and the bad weather all indicate that they are likely to move again.
Lin Qian also made a plan for the time being, and if he moved, he would definitely go south, because there were many rivers in the south.
Although it was seen according to the human map found before, even if the surface of the earth changed greatly, Lin Qian guessed that the river would not be shifted too far, at most, the underground river would become aboveground, and the above-ground would become underground, or some diversions, but the specific location would not change greatly, because the source of the water source would not disappear out of thin air.
Of course, if he encounters a crack like the trench he fell into, it doesn't have to be.
However, this probability should not be large, after all, according to the map show, there will be several large rivers on the way to the south, and there should be many smaller rivers on the way, so you can't be cut off every one of them.
However, Lin Qian has no hope for the river, and eighty percent of the river will be dried, and those big rivers are the goal.
Leaning on a block of ice, Shan Feng skillfully smeared the slices of meat with both hands, and he was now a full-fledged "meat maker".
Now the weather is fine, they don't have ice cubes, they won't suffer from heat stroke or anything, but the mountain wind can't do it.
Two days ago, the boy was having fun with the red panda, and suddenly his face turned red and the whole person fainted.
This really scared a group of beasts, but fortunately, Lin Qian crossed some spiritual power in time, otherwise there was no medicine, this baby was no different from those animals that were killed by heat.
The mountain breeze actually felt a little uncomfortable that day, but the weather was too hot, and he was the only human after all, so he was still more afraid of beasts and didn't show it.
In the young man's heart, he is a burden to the tigers, it is good to have food, drink and clothing, if there is still trouble, I am afraid that he will be discarded.
Rather than being eaten by the tigers, Shan Feng seemed to be more afraid of being thrown away by the tigers, and he was afraid that he would become a lonely ghost again......
Lin Qian didn't know what he thought, but every day he would ask the chipmunks to go to his mother's place to get some ice cubes and put them near the mountain wind, after all, they were the cubs he brought back, so he had to live well.
Lin Qian has no experience in taking care of children, whether it is a child or an older child, fortunately, Shanfeng is also very sensible at the age of twelve, and he can take care of himself completely, but as an ordinary human, Shanfeng is indeed a little too fragile.
Looking at the stream that was already left with only a small stream of water, Lin Qian couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that the day of migration is approaching, looking at the cloudless sky, Lin Qian knows that it will not rain for a while.
After licking a few mouthfuls of the stream, Lin Qian slowly walked to the position of the mutant vines.
The flower bags on the vines can already be seen in the past two days, a total of six flower bags, each with a different color.
Red, yellow, green, purple, black and white, although the flower bag still has a green coating on the outside, but the small petals exposed on the tip are clearly colored and very conspicuous.
Feeling the rich aura on the flower bag, Lin Qian's heart relaxed, after all, there was still something good to happen.
Six flowers, that's six spirit fruits!
A tiger and a tiger didn't run!
As for the extra one, of course, it is for chipmunks, this little guy is the first subordinate in their family, and he is also responsible for the housekeeper + warehousing, which must be paid attention to.
Although the giant panda mother and son are also spirit animals, to be honest, the giant panda mother and child have not made any contributions at present, and the spirit fruit will naturally not be distributed to them.
And Shanfeng, Lin Qian actually didn't want to cultivate Shanfeng into an awakened person, as an ordinary human being, he could still rest assured that he could keep it by his side, if it was an anomaly, then he would have to think about it.
