Epoch of Twilight

After returning, Luo Yuan explained the matter, and as expected, everyone decided to evacuate here temporarily.

Before he left, he gave everyone an early warning, so some necessary luggage had already been prepared. Not long after the fourth wave of attack landed, the group picked up their luggage and left the grotto quickly.

Under Luo Yuan's order, the giant lizard trotted forward with heavy steps. The grotto gradually blurred in sight. When the group got into the jungle, they could no longer see it.

This is the normal state of survivors in the last days, living without a fixed place. Maybe today you just found a safe place and stored a lot of food, but the next day, you may be forced to leave and have to leave a lot of hard work. Collect supplies, go to a safer place, and then collect all the supplies again, waiting for the next migration.

This is the helplessness of being in the end times, everything is for survival.

...

The dense tree net overhead blocks all sight from the sky.

After nearly an hour and a half away, everyone returned to the original camp. At this moment, everyone was relieved, and they felt a strong sense of security here.

In fact, it was only 30 to 40 kilometers away from the grotto, which was not an absolute safe distance, but everyone no longer wanted to go to another strange place and take unfathomable risks.

As for absolute safety, in the apocalypse, there is no place for absolute safety. Instead of taking risks, it is better to entrust your life to fate.

However, this kind of negative thinking definitely does not include Luo Yuan.

To him, being kicked out of his homeland by a light-green mutant creature is definitely a shameful thing, but at this moment, he can only temporarily suppress his restless heart.

...

Three days passed quickly. These days, in order to avoid the discovery of the mutated bird, everyone had given up daytime activities.

Now the weather is hot, the cave is completely closed, and the air cannot circulate. Staying in it is like a sauna room, and even breathing has a trace of heat. As for the dirty air and the complex smell of all kinds of sour and rotten, it is simply impossible. Needless to say.

Fortunately, before I came, I brought a lot of water, so I didn't have to think about drinking water.

Only at nightfall, everyone can come out, breathe the fresh and cool air under the night, and eat some food.

In the past few days, the mutant bird's attack has been maintained intermittently, but compared with the first day, the frequency has dropped significantly, and it is even more irregular. Sometimes there is no attack during the whole day, and it is crazy in the evening. Dafa, non-stop indiscriminate bombing.

Moreover, it is estimated that the other party has become suspicious of Luo Yuan and others who have not shown up for a long time. At the beginning, it basically flew at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters and did not show up very much, but in the past few days, it has begun to fly lower and lower. Hovering over the grotto for several hours every day.

However, it never imagined that tens of kilometers away, its enemy was collecting all the information about it in detail.

Ten kilometers away from the grotto, on a branch of a big tree, Luo Yuan hid under the lush leaves, his eyes fixed on the giant bird that kept circling in midair.

Of course, monitoring the mutant bird is just one of them, and he is also paying attention to the tree of wisdom.

Due to the feeding of a large number of corpses in the past few days, the wisdom tree has grown crazily. Compared with three days ago, not only is it almost twice as tall, but even the color of the trunk has changed slightly. It seems that it has reached the juncture of transformation!

At the same time, the wisdom fruit on the tree began to ripen a lot, exuding an attractive aroma.

However, near the grotto, the giants repeatedly raided it, and the slightly dangerous mutant beasts were almost extinct, and there were not many creatures patronizing at all, and the Wisdom Tree activated to the feeding state was absolutely terrifying.

In the past few days, Luo Yuan saw several mutated beasts trying to get close to the Wisdom Tree more than once, but they were wrapped tightly by those white silks.

The mutated bird hovered for a while, and finally lost patience. It stopped taking off, and threw a huge boulder weighing several tons directly at the cliff. It probably also felt that the previous behavior was really useless.

The rock fell to the rock wall with a loud "boom". Under the violent impact, a piece of rock on the rock wall cracked, tumbled and fell down, and hit the stone wall corridor heavily, creating a gap several meters wide.

It waited for a few more minutes, and seeing that there was no movement there, it let out a cry of disappointment, and then it flapped its wings and flew into the distance.

Luo Yuan calmly watched it move away quickly until it disappeared completely before jumping off the tree.

According to experience, today it is not coming back.

He touched the trunk, and there was a deep knife mark there, and there was also one on a nearby tree not far away. These two marks were left by him when he observed the flight path of the mutated bird yesterday. He compared them carefully After a while, I found that when the mutated birds left in the past two days, they were in exactly the same direction.

This can only explain one problem, this direction is exactly the location of its lair.

After all, if it is hunting, it is impossible to go in the same direction every time you go back. The probability of this is so low that it is almost negligible.

He murmured secretly in his heart:

"He believes that no matter how high a bird flies, it will always land when it lands. This is its flaw, and judging by its range of activities, it will never be too far away.

When the frequency of attacks was the highest on the first day, the interval between the mutated birds' attacks was about twenty minutes, including the round-trip time, the time to grab the boulder and the time to lift off. If it was a one-way trip, it would be ten minutes. And the boulder during the attack was likely to be obtained nearby. A mind dominated by hatred would not be in the mood to travel thousands of miles to grab a boulder and come back to attack. This is unrealistic.

The speed of the mutated bird is very fast, but it has not exceeded the speed of sound. It is only about two-thirds of the speed of sound, and its speed is about seven times that of his. If the mutated bird takes ten minutes to travel, he needs an hour and ten minutes. In terms of physical strength and slope fluctuations, it may take nearly two hours. If you consider that the old nest may be farther away than the place where the boulder was taken, it will take longer.

Another key point is that most birds have keen perception and quick response, and the mutant birds evolved from birds are no exception. Once they are discovered and fly with wings, it will be difficult to kill.

But this is easy to solve. He has always kept the 'Green Hermit's Horn'. With the Green Hermit's perfect ability to shield perception, coupled with appropriate camouflage, as long as there is no big movement, it should be able to fool the mutation. bird. "

His brain is running at high speed, quickly analyzing all the situations that can be considered.

...

A four-meter-long mutant insect that resembles a praying mantis hides behind a nearby tree trunk and approaches here quietly. Its color is the same as the tree trunk, and it looks like a dead branch attached to the tree trunk.

The sharp and ferocious huge mouthparts opened and closed silently, and the crystal compound eyes clearly reflected Luo Yuan's figure. Looking at this creature right in front of him, it seemed to have already felt the fragrance of flesh and blood.

However, out of caution, it did not attack rashly. It keenly felt that there was a dangerous aura exuding from this strange creature, which made it hesitate. It finally couldn't bear the temptation of food.

The powerful hind limbs bounced violently, and the body jumped down from the tree like lightning.

However, just after leaping into the air, a bright silver light pierced the air instantly, and with a bang, the corpse fell to the ground and split into two complete halves.

...

After pondering for a long time, Luo Yuan quickly made a decision. With a flash of his body, he quickly ran towards the opposite direction of the camp.

It's still too early, everything will have to wait until nightfall, and there are still some things to prepare.

Luo Yuan disappeared, leaving a large pile of corpses in place.

It wasn't until a long time later that a bold mutant beast approached here cautiously, its ears turned slightly, and the corners of its eyes were quick to observe the surroundings. Seeing that there was no danger, it immediately lowered its head and bit a corpse, and quickly fled the place.

Soon, there will be more and more mutant beasts here...

After waiting for an hour, even the blood that seeped into the soil disappeared completely, as if nothing had happened.

PS: I have something to do today, and there will be two chapters tomorrow
