It is true that the early bird catches the worm. But the sad thing is those worms that get up early. And these flying snakes serve as the fate of the early worms. In nature, any animal will have a natural
Enemies, and the flying snake's natural enemy is the island's native bird, the red-billed gull. These red-billed gulls are different from ordinary red-billed gulls. Their red pointed beaks can be seen to be very sharp, and their claws are even sharper than
It is extremely sharp and is no less sharp than a goshawk. The red-billed gull usually relies on preying on flying snakes like this.
At this time, the sky is already slightly brighter, and the small islands closer to the equator will soon be covered by the brilliance of the morning glow. The red-billed gulls nesting on the cliffs of the islands come out in groups to feed at dawn.
The flying snakes made a "buzzing" sound when they were flying, and they swooped over quickly. Many red-billed gulls even called their friends, making excited "quacking" sounds to invite more partners to come over to hunt.
When the flying snake saw the appearance of the red-billed gull, it immediately panicked. The smooth feathers on the red-billed gull's body were extremely dense, which was a hard fortress that the sharp teeth of the flying snake could not bite for a while, and the red-billed gull could only
It takes such a little time to kill the flying snake and devour it. Seeing the red-billed gulls falling from the sky, many team members were very nervous. If these red-billed gulls also participated in the attack, the team would only have the entire army.
It's been destroyed.
A rare smile appeared on the faces of Chen Si and Tang Maiqiu. They both knew that this was the arrival of the flying snake's natural enemy. They both breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Maiqiu sighed: "Finally alive.
." Chen Si nodded and said to the people behind him: "Stop attacking the flying snakes, just let them kill each other with these seagulls." Seeing that the flying snakes were unable to resist the killing of the red-billed gulls, Chen Si's
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth. But Tang Maiqiu was quite worried. He said: "There are many seabirds, and their attack power is no less than that of eagles. We must be careful to guard against them."
Chen Si nodded and said: "Don't worry, Qin birds rarely attack humans. They usually only attack their own food. I don't think they will take the initiative to attack us, but you need to be careful not to take the initiative."
Go and provoke these seagulls, otherwise we will be in great trouble. Birds are also very vindictive, and if they take revenge, we may be in some trouble."
Tang Maiqiu said "Yeah", knowing that what Chen Si said was true. He immediately whispered to everyone not to shoot at seabirds, but compared to flying snakes, these seabirds are not as dangerous as flying snakes, because
These flying snakes are small in size and numerous in number, so they are basically invincible. The red-billed gull spreads its wings, and the smallest one is nearly half a meter long. With such a target, you can pick up an automatic rifle and pull the trigger to kill a large area.
.Much easier to deal with.
Under the attack of the red-billed gulls, the flying snakes were defeated and scattered around to escape. Many flying snakes were flying towards the direction of the team. Everyone did not dare to use firearms, so they had to pull out their spurs to chop them. Fortunately, these snakes were
The flying snakes were just looking for a way to escape and had no intention of biting anyone, but their move attracted countless red-billed gulls to fly towards the group. The red-billed gulls were quite big and landed in the crowd, causing a commotion.
, and the red-billed gulls were born and raised on this island, and were not afraid of people at all. They just regarded them as one of the animals on the island. However, everyone remembered Tang Maiqiu’s instructions and remained tolerant to the red-billed gulls. Otherwise, they would wait.
There was roasted bird meat.
"What kind of bird is this?" Seeing that the flying snakes had been dispersed, Luo Xiaodan felt relieved and asked Gu Fengchun. Gu Fengchun thought for a moment and said, "This should be a red-billed gull. You see, their beaks are red.
This is the main source of their name. Of course, it is somewhat different from the red-billed gull recorded in the book. It is larger and has a much longer beak. It should have evolved to adapt to the life of this small island. This is not
Strangely, in "Theory of Evolution", Darwin discussed the differences in geographical environment on animal evolution."
After listening to Gu Fengchun's explanation, Luo Xiaodan nodded, indicating that he understood what Gu Fengchun said. When Chen Si saw that the flying snake had been dispersed, his tense nerves finally relaxed. After a night of tossing, he had already felt the slightest sensation.
I feel so tired that I have never felt before. "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We have to leave here quickly." Chen Si waved his hand to the following team and said.
Everyone also knows that this place is not safe. It is so close to the nest of flying snakes that lay their eggs. Those flying snakes that were scared away by the red-billed gulls will definitely come back. By then, it will be difficult for everyone to be as lucky as before.
"Everyone take out your things and replenish energy while walking." Tang Maiqiu added. After a night of tension and exhaustion, everyone's nerves and physical fitness are on the verge of collapse. If we don't replenish some energy, it will soon be over.
Some people will be exhausted.
In addition to weapons, everyone's backpacks also contain a lot of nutritional tablets, dark chocolate, canned biscuits and meat, etc. They are all foods that can quickly replenish the urgent energy needed by the human body. They are high in calories and convenient.
Carry. One nutritional tablet is enough for an adult, and other things are just for supplementary purposes. This is also to allow everyone to adapt, because most team members take a nutritional tablet the size of a fingernail, although their physical needs are met.
, but I still feel hungry psychologically, so I use canned meat and the like to fill the gap in my psychological needs.
Chen Si looked up at the sky and saw the clouds all over the sky. He took out the compass and looked at it again. Then he smiled and said: "Damn, the direction of this compass is indeed wrong." The pointer pointed the direction quietly.
, but if the compass is normal, that means the sun rises from the southwest today...
"But we didn't go the wrong way." Tang Maiqiu swallowed a nutritional tablet, then took a sip of water, and said slowly: "We were here yesterday. If you walk along here and there, you can see the coastline.
, and walk towards the coastline for half an hour, we will reach our boat." After that, he took out another box of canned beef, pried it open, and handed it to Chen Si. Chen Si nodded and took it.
I had a piece of beef and ate it happily.
"Chen Si, look at the eight o'clock direction..." Gu Fengchun suddenly shouted. Gu Fengchun was still biting a chocolate bar in his mouth at this time, and he was shouting vaguely, but his words made people feel
Everyone was surprised.
Chen Si suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction Gu Fengchun said.
At eight o'clock, more than a hundred meters ahead, there is a raised, bare hill. There are only weeds and shrubs on it. The highest one is only thirty or forty centimeters tall. The exposed area is covered with ocher-red soil.
But on the hilltop, there seemed to be a person sitting there cross-legged, like an old monk in meditation, motionless, like a stone statue. It was not bright yet, so most people would not notice the existence of this person, except Gu Fengchun.
Except for monsters with extremely good eyesight.
Everyone looked along this place. Many people did not notice the existence of this person and thought it was a stone. But Chen Si keenly felt that the "stone" was a person. His first reaction was,
Maybe people from Qinchuan were watching everyone. But Gu Fengchun could see clearly that he was a man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a tattered military uniform, and the military uniform looked like an old military uniform.
The style and color have already faded away. There is still a tattered machete stuck next to him.
"What's coming from?" Tang Maiqiu picked up the night vision telescope and looked over, "Hey, it seems to be a person." Tang Maiqiu immediately became alert. He was also very aware of the feud between Qin Chuan and Chen Si.
, maybe Qinchuan's snipers are waiting for everyone here.
"Everyone spread out and look for cover." Tang Maiqiu immediately sounded the alarm.
The team members immediately entered the state and took cover one after another. The sniper rifle in Hu Zhibo's hand was aimed at the head of the "stone", waiting for an order to blow him up.
"Don't be impulsive, he has no ill intentions towards us." Gu Fengchun immediately stopped everyone. He said to Chen Si: "I feel that he is waiting for us." Gu Fengchun's face was very solemn. Since he saw
After arriving at this person, he felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart, as if he saw something he had longed for for a long time. He rarely felt this way before, and it was also a palpitation when danger approached.
"Who do you think this person could be?" Chen Si was a little surprised.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that I, or we all know this person." Gu Fengchun took a breath and said.
"Let's go up and have a look." Chen Si made a decision immediately. The appearance of this person made his heart palpitate. Chen Si suddenly remembered something and immediately expressed his thoughts.
"Okay." Gu Fengchun said without hesitation. The man on the hill looked like the answer he had been waiting for for a long time. If the answer was not revealed, Gu Fengchun would probably have insomnia for a long time in the future.
"I will accompany you." Tang Maiqiu said from the side: "By the way, I will bring a few more people." Tang Maiqiu was worried about the safety of the two of them and wanted to bring a few more people to ensure their safety.
But Chen Si shook his head and said: "No need, just me and Feng Chun are enough, right, Feng Chun?" Chen Si seemed to not want too many people to know about the man on the hill. Even Gu Feng Chun could hear it.
It's a bit strange. But Gu Fengchun also had this intention. He turned back to Luo Xiaodan and said, "I'll leave for a while and I'll be back soon." Luo Xiaodan nodded to him and said, "You have to be careful."
