Chapter 216: Animal Nature
Now is daytime, and it is not a good time to kill. Not only may some hunting giants have not returned yet, but once the other party cannot bear huge casualties and fear, they will also flee in various ways. At that time, whether it is hunting or ambushing, it will be an extremely troublesome thing.
What's more, smart creatures have become essentially different from wild beasts. They have wisdom, can use tools, and have a certain organization and discipline, which gives them the possibility of defeating the strong with the weak. It is definitely not a wise thing to rush over in such a rash manner.
Luo Yuan carefully observed the surrounding terrain and then cautiously retreated.
Half an hour later, Luo Yuan returned to the camp. Everyone who had been waiting for the news came forward and asked. When they heard that there were really smart creatures, or even a tribe with thousands of people, everyone's faces changed slightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Human beings are the spirit of all things and the well-deserved overlord of the earth. Even if mutant beasts are rampant and human beings are retreating step by step, they are still proud in their hearts because human beings are the only intelligent creatures on the earth. No matter how powerful mutant creatures are, they are just wild beasts without wisdom. As long as human beings gain a foothold, victory will come one day, but the sudden news will shatter the pride in everyone's hearts.
It turns out that humans are no longer the only intelligent creatures!
When a species with a body that is stronger than humans and a better wisdom than humans appears, can humans still maintain their pride? Perhaps the day to replace humans is no longer far away!
There was a chill in everyone's heart.
"I didn't expect that the world has changed like this?" After a while, Huang Jiahui said in a daze.
The news brought by Luo Yuan was so shocking. Although there were all kinds of clues along the way that made everyone more or less prepared, when it was really confirmed, everyone felt a sense of panic in their hearts.
"We must kill them before they develop!" At this time, Company Commander Xia suddenly said, with a cold face.
"Yes, they are too close to us and conflicts may occur at any time." Huo Dong also suppressed his fear and said.
Luo Yuan nodded slightly and said, "It seems that everyone has the same idea. Then act tonight and kill this group of creatures without leaving any left. Then everyone will go there."
When he came back, he had already changed his original idea. He would have omissions on his own. At that time, once the giant scattered and fled, no matter how fast he was, he would never be able to cover everything. There would always be fish that missed the net.
These people are now not bad at all, and they may not be able to deal with one-on-one, but when they cooperate with three or two, they can always kill a few, especially Wang Shishi. They are not good at dealing with green levels, but to deal with those blue-level mutant creatures, it is simply a killing machine, with higher efficiency than him. As long as she is there, this mission will be sure to win.
"Where are the children?" Huang Jiahui said.
"Take it away together, and staying alone in the cave is even more dangerous." Luo Yuan knew Huang Jiahui's doubts: "But don't worry, you only need to solve the problem of missing fish, which is very safe!"
The matter was decided so simply. No one raised any doubts, and no one openly opposed it. No matter how scared or reluctant heeded, he could only be stuck in his mind and even dared not express it in his face. His authority was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even the few soldiers who had just joined the team were quiet under his eyes, and he felt more majestic than the leader.
The atmosphere of war makes people feel heavy, and everyone is preparing to do what they can.
The end of the world is the most training era. Even a otakus who is not touched by the ten fingers of the spring water will transform into a survival master after struggling for half a year.
…………
Time flies quickly and it gets dark quickly.
In the open space in front of the cave, a skinned mutant beast exuded an attractive fragrance under the flames. The grease fell on the bonfire and splashed up from time to time, making a sound of crackling sounds. The light and dark light shone on everyone's face.
"It's so exciting!" Luo Yuan reminded.
"ah!"
Several people came back to their senses in a daze and rushed to lift the barbecue from the barbecue grill. Obviously, the huge spiritual impact before made them feel a little uneasy.
Luo Yuan frowned, but he quickly stretched his eyebrows. In fact, even if he saw those creatures, his mind would be shocked. He could suppress the murderous intent. Even if he did not have this task, he would definitely kill him quickly. This murderous intent had no reason, as if he came deep into the bone marrow and from the depths of the genes. Perhaps this was the instinct produced by a smart creature when he encountered another smart creature.
The supper was finished soon. Luo Yuan looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock and it was completely dark at this time. He continued to wait for three hours until ten o'clock. He stood up and reached out to grab the sabre that was inserted beside him.
"Shut off the engine and set off!"
Everyone quickly extinguished the fire, silently picked up their weapons, ready to go.
Huang Jiahui took a long knife, looked down at her watch, walked to Luo Yuan, and whispered: "It's only ten o'clock, is it too early?"
Ten o'clock is indeed too early. Perhaps for humans before the end of the world, nightlife has just begun.
Luo Yuan shook his head: "The road is still far away from here, so it will be slower to walk at night. If you encounter an emergency, it will be delayed and you must leave enough time to deal with it. Those giants are not humans, they should be sleeping now."
Luo Yuan looked at her and whispered: "Be careful, it's best to stay next to Wang Shishi."
Huang Jiahui pointed and said heavily: "You don't have to worry about me, I will pay attention."
……………………
The team climbed onto the giant lizard and set off soon.
The roars of mutant beasts in the distance were one after another, and from time to time were mixed with shrill screams and roars, which made people frightened.
Under the cover of dense leaves, the entire jungle seemed pitch black and full of ghosts. Only the pairs of faint light spots in the bushes in the distance emitted starry light, like faint ghost fire, which were mutant beasts waiting for an opportunity to prey, but under the intimidation of the huge size of the giant lizard, they hesitated not to approach and kept wandering around.
The dark jungle is a more lively and dangerous world than the daytime. Most carnivorous creatures choose to come out to play at this time, especially now that the temperature is getting higher and higher during the day. Even some herbivores begin to lie down at night and gradually adapt to this fierce environment.
The giant lizard was not fast, and it seemed a little irritable along the way. It couldn't help but roar several times. Although the roar was so tinnitus that it was deafening, it was the giant lizard's roar and intimidation from time to time that made it safe along the way!
Half an hour later, the group had already arrived at the valley.
This place is not far from the giant's tribe. Luo Yuan asked everyone to come down because the giant lizard was moving too much. In order not to alarm the snake, it had to be left in place, and everyone began to walk.
The road was quiet, and the atmosphere was suddenly different from that in the jungle.
Perhaps because of the frequent occurrence of giants, there are almost very few mutant beasts nearby. Along the way, I have not encountered any danger.
Before I walked, the fire was already visible, the heat waves rolled in front of me, and the temperature suddenly rose.
Lin Xiaoji wiped his sweat a little, and his whole body was covered in tightness. When he was forced by the heat wave, he immediately sweated like rain. He whispered: "Aren't these mutant beasts afraid of heat?"
"This is a defensive method. Once the fire is roasted, there are almost no mutant beasts around. Some outposts far away from the base sometimes use this method at night. A big fire is more effective than a machine gun cannon. It seems that this mutant beast is smarter than we imagined." Company Commander Xia said with a serious look on his face.
Luo Yuan ignored it. He listened carefully for a while, and turned around and said, "There seems to be a giant warning ahead. I'll go there first, and wait for me to send a signal, and you guys come over again."
Although everyone heard nothing, they had no doubt at all. Everyone felt a stern heart and their faces were solemn.
"Brother Luo, I'll go and help you!" Wang Shishi suddenly said.
Luo Yuan hesitated. It should be safer here. It doesn't matter if Wang Shishi is there. It's really a difficult thing to want a few giants who can solve silently without disturbing other giants who fall asleep. Thinking of this, Luo Yuan pointed: "Okay, come with me, and you can cooperate with me at that time."
Wang Shishi immediately nodded excitedly.
The two of them were short and slowly sneaking. The front became hotter and hotter, as if they were about to burn their hair. After walking for a while, he stopped again, listened for a while, and then pushed away the grass that was dry by the high temperature. The grass made a slight rustling sound without attracting any attention.
"Did you see it? Let me see it." Wang Shishi was curious about the appearance of the mutated creature, so he approached Luo Yuan and whispered.
"Shh!" Luo Yuan observed carefully. After a long time, he turned his head and said with a serious expression: "There are thirteen giants in total. I didn't expect that so many things would be in a little trouble."
……………………
A group of giants sat in groups of three or three at the foot of the mountain rock, looking around from time to time.
These giants are taller and stronger than other giants. Each one is six or seven meters tall. The muscles on their bodies are almost about to break their skin, even if they just sit loosely like this, they exudes a strong aura. These are obviously not ordinary giants, but warriors among giants.
At this time, a sudden sound came from not far away. A giant stood up alertly, looked around for a few glances, and made strange syllables in his mouth, as if communicating with the other giants. Soon, it carried a spear as thick as a bowl and walked carefully forward, while the other giants were alert.
This group of giants seemed extremely cautious and highly alert. Thinking about it, the same would be true for anyone living in the deep jungle full of dangers, otherwise this creature would not have survived now.
The giant walked carefully to the place where the movement came, and was surprised to find that it was a dying mutant beast. Its belly was torn open, its internal organs flowed all over the ground, and a long blood-colored trace was dragged out. It seemed that it was panic and fled here.
This is a huge surprise!
It licked its lips, revealing two sharp fangs.
Even for warriors like it, meat is precious and scarce, and it is impossible to arrive every day. After all, it needs life to be exchanged for it. However, its vigilance did not decrease. It carefully paid attention to the situation around it. Seeing that there was no other movement around it, this time I felt relieved and excitedly grabbed the neck of the mutant beast and walked towards the giants.
When the mutant beasts were seen, the giants were in a state of turmoil. Everyone's face seemed to have a look of joy and excitement. One of the giants reached in from the torn abdomen, grabbed a heart with great force, and respectfully gave it to the strongest giant.
The giant looked very satisfied. It showed a hideous smile. After taking it, it stuffed it into its sharp-toned mouth. It chewed in a big mouth, and the blood slid down the corners of its mouth, making it look particularly hideous.
This seems to be a unique etiquette and a signal that when the giant swallows his heart and eats the carnival begins.
