Although Finnegan had already mentioned this, Meng Nan and the others still decided to head towards the volcanic area.
After all, they have no more choices.
At the same time, Meng Nan and others expressed the hope that Finnegan and the others could go with them, but Joey firmly opposed it.
"I don't agree. I haven't lived enough and I don't want to die." Joey said firmly.
"Maybe you don't have many choices." Xia Wenqing pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?" Finnegan took a step back and looked at everyone warily: "Can you still force us to leave with a gun?"
"Of course not." Xia Wenqing shook his head: "No matter what, you saved our lives just now. We are not the kind of people who repay kindness with enmity."
"Then what do you mean?" Finnegan heard Xia Wenqing's words and slowly let go of the stone in his hand.
"Actually, it's very simple. You can't hide here for much longer." Meng Nan suddenly said: "It may take one or two months at most, or three or four days at least, and you won't be able to protect you here. By then, what can you do? What else can you do?
Camping in a dense forest?"
"Why did you say that?" Finnegan looked at Meng Nan.
"You must have discovered that the traces of damage to the surrounding trees are getting closer and closer to here." Meng Nan said: "If my guess is correct, the reason why you can live here is because you are nearby.
The kind of water we just pumped out is water that no creature here wants to touch."
"And what you brought back from the rocky area is not an ordinary stone, but the eggs of some kind of creature."
"By cracking the eggs, killing the creatures inside, and then pouring water on them, you can send a signal to the outside world that this is a dangerous place."
"This will prevent other creatures from approaching here."
"That's right." Finnegan nodded.
"But as time goes by, you should also find that this method is less and less effective." Meng Nan continued: "There are many new broken branches near here, which proves that the monster's life circle is moving here rapidly.
near."
"Well, you are worthy of being a lone wolf. You are right." Finnegan nodded: "Maybe we have lived here for too long, or maybe these monsters have gradually adapted to the atmosphere here, so
Indeed, I can’t stay here much longer.”
"But if you're not here, where else can you go?" Qi Zhi said, "Is it possible to camp in a dense forest like Meng Nan said?"
"Of course not, we have already chosen a new safe house..." Cui Lien walked over and said in a deep voice.
"You'd better stop joking!" However, before Cui Lien finished speaking, Chen Wu suddenly shouted: "I just investigated and found that your water contains a large amount of oxygen ions. This is why these creatures are unwilling to come close.
reasons."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean? There is so much oxygen that the creatures here don't want to get close to it?" Joey was stunned for a moment: "Don't tease me, I am also a person who has read books. How can any creature not like oxygen?"
?”
"This is your ignorance." Chen Wu glanced at Joey: "During the Ediacaran and Cambrian periods, the oxygen content on the earth was actually not high, so Cambrian creatures tended to be low in oxygen.
The environment with high oxygen content, just like we will have altitude sickness if we go to the plateau, organisms in the Cambrian period will indeed have hyperoxic reactions when they are raised in high altitudes, making them feel uncomfortable."
"But aren't these creatures already in this world? They have mutated." Li Shiming looked at Chen Wu, his eyes full of doubts.
"Mutations are mutations, but they have not fully adapted to the oxygen content of this era." Chen Wu looked in the direction of the central volcano: "Whether it is the dense forest environment here or the central volcano area, the oxygen content here has become only normal for us.
One-half of the environment. In fact, the photosynthesis effect of the plants here is extremely low. As I said before, the plants here are the product of the fusion of modern plants and Cambrian organisms."
"Wait a minute, are you mercenaries talking about the Book of Heaven? Why can't I understand a word?" Joey shouted.
"Shut up if you don't listen much!" Laila on the side glared at Joey, then looked at Chen Wu: "But we don't have any discomfort here."
"The crisis environment will fully mobilize all the functions of your body and develop your potential." Chen Wu explained: "Moreover, by coincidence, you just happened to choose this waterside with high oxygen concentration. The oxygen content here is far away."
It is higher than the outside world, which at least meets your normal oxygen consumption needs."
"Once you leave here, you may not be able to find anything in a short period of time, but if you are in an environment with low oxygen concentration for a long time, you will soon develop symptoms similar to hypoxia." Chen Wu said very seriously: "Dizziness, fatigue
, nausea, loss of appetite, etc.”
Then Chen Wu glanced at Joey: "There is also that aspect where it is too fast."
"Oh, wait, what do you mean by looking at me? I don't have that!" Joey shouted hurriedly.
"So, what you're saying is that if we leave here, we won't survive?" Finnegan said with a frown.
"I said, there will be no problem in a short period of time." Chen Wu answered straightforwardly.
"I understand." Finnegan looked at Cui Lien, then looked at Meng Nan and others: "Having said so much, what are your conditions?"
"Actually, there are no conditions." Meng Nan replied with a smile: "The boat we came from was attacked by creatures in the water and sank. In fact, we are now grasshoppers on a rope. If we want to leave here,
We must find Dr. James first, and then we can call the company to come to the rescue."
"Didn't I say that Dr. James should be dead?" Joey said with a depressed face.
"Then we can only wait here to die together." Meng Nan spread his hands: "You should understand that we do not have the value of the company to risk rescue, or in other words, if Dr. James is dead, then in the company
In their eyes, it would be best for us to die here!"
"In other words, once the so-called Dr. James dies, all of us will be buried with them?" Finnegan scratched his head in annoyance: "Damn, this is not a suitable deal."
"I'm not saying that, Mr. Finnegan." Chen Ruier said with a smile: "This deal is done, and you have gained four lives. Is there a more suitable deal in the world than this? How about it? Your choice is
What?"
"Do I have any other choice?" Finnegan sighed: "But I have a request, give us a copy of your weapons!"
