Chapter 2512: Panic and no choice (two chapters in one)
"If you don't provoke me, you can live longer."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the dead alien beast and muttered to himself, then he stepped forward to pick up the alien beast's body and walked toward the creek in the distance.
Next, he will have to live in a nearby cave. If he just disposes of the dead beasts in situ, the smell of blood will cause some hidden dangers.
I encountered a creek on the way here just now. Now I will take the strange beast to the creek and process it, so as to cover up the smell of blood as much as possible.
After a while, the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, completely dissected the alien beast.
He wrapped the edible parts in large leaves, dug a deep pit beside the stream, and threw the inedible parts into the pit for burial.
"Boom."
In just a short while, the weather became worse and worse. Thunder and lightning flashed in the clouds, lighting up some dark places, and the sound of thunder followed.
"I have to hurry up."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw that the weather was getting worse and worse, so he picked up the meat of the exotic beasts he had packed and ran quickly to the cave in the distance.
He spent some time, looked at five caves, and quickly found a place that suited him.
The cave in front of us is quite large, with an area of about three hundred square meters.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, put down his backpack and alien meat, and then began to go outside to collect wood.
There is no shortage of food now, but it will rain next, so wood is very important.
Fortunately, there are many dead trees around, and it is very easy for the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead to collect wood.
He came to a dead tree that was more than thirty meters high, then raised his right hand and punched the tree trunk fiercely.
There was a loud click, broken wood flew around, and the tree fell.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, punched the fallen tree a few more times, breaking it into pieces.
Then he dragged a small piece of wood back to the cave where he lived. He repeated this several times, and there was enough wood in the cave.
"Boom."
"call……"
The terrible thunder and wind became more and more intense, giving people a doomsday feeling.
As time passed, the gloomy sky became more and more oppressive.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the sky in the distance. He felt that the weather was worse than ever before.
"The cave I chose this time has a very good location. Even if the heavy rainstorm is much heavier than the previous times, it will not affect me."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought for a moment, then he withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the bad weather in the distance, and began to deal with the wood dragged into the cave.
These pieces of wood were at least six or seven meters long, and the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, further chopped them off with his weapon.
Not long after, pieces of wood more than thirty centimeters long were neatly stacked in the corner of the cave.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took some wood and lit a bonfire, and the flickering light of the fire illuminated the dim cave.
As the bonfire was lit, the temperature in the cave rose rapidly.
"It's warm now."
"While it hasn't rained yet, I'll go pick some wild fruits and come back!"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood up and was about to pick wild fruits. When he took a few steps forward, he suddenly stopped, then came to his backpack, opened it, and took out two water bottles.
When I came out of the cave, I was hit by a gust of wind and felt chilly.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead frowned slightly, then quickly walked to the stream, waited for him to fill the water bottle, and then walked to the nearby woods where wild fruits grew.
…………
On the endless plain, there are two figures running fast.
Not long ago, the weather was clear and clear, but now there are dark clouds all over the place and it's gloomy, making people feel a little breathless.
The two investigators left the pig-headed city and began to return to the base camp. They did not encounter any particularly dangerous attacks along the way, and overall it was quite smooth.
However, this evening, they encountered a sudden change in the weather. It was going to rain soon, and they had not yet found a place to stay.
"There is a hill over there, let's stay there!" The tall investigator saw a small hill appearing in front of him on the left, with a little joy on his face, and said to his companions.
"That's the only way." The short investigator nodded. The place they were in now was a large plain. It was already quite difficult to find a small hill. There were no more options.
The two investigators quickly ran towards the hill. When they arrived at the hill, silvery white lightning appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, and the terrible thunder was deafening.
"Boom..."
The two investigators knew that it would rain soon, so they didn't waste time. They immediately took out two shovels from their space spiritual tools and started digging a hole halfway up the hill.
"Click, click, click..."
After busying for a while, I dug a cave that was not big but big enough for two people to settle down.
The two investigators put away their shovels, came down from the hill, and went around to collect wood.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..."
The rain falls from the sky and falls on the leaves of the plants, making a crisp sound.
"It's raining, let's go back!"
"Um."
The investigators who collected the wood began to return. When they returned to the dug cave, it was already raining heavily outside.
At first, the raindrops were only as big as a fingernail, but now it turned into a downpour. A large amount of rain fell on the ground, forming small puddles in some low-lying places on the ground.
Their clothes were soaked by the rain, so the two investigators took off their coats, then piled the collected wood together and set it on fire.
Orange-red flames burned, and the shadows of the two investigators fell on the wall, stretching long.
The coat that was soaked by the rain was put on a stick and placed next to the campfire to bake. After a while, the coat was almost dry.
The two investigators put their coats back on. They looked at the heavy rain outside the cave and chatted.
"It hasn't rained in the past few days. I thought we were out of the rainy season..." the short investigator said.
"I think so too, but after this rain passes and we drive for a few more days, we should be able to completely escape the rainy season. From now on, we don't have to worry about it raining for several days at a time." The tall man laughed at the investigator.
road.
Since setting off and leaving the pig-headed city and returning to the base camp, the two investigators have become very relaxed.
Although they are well disguised and not easy to be exposed, they are still in a city of pig-headed people, so they have to be vigilant at all times, and they are always under pressure.
Now that we are far away from the pig-headed city, the previous pressure has almost disappeared. The only task is to concentrate on the journey and return to the base camp. Generally speaking, it is very easy.
The two investigators were chatting while listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, when suddenly an unusual sound appeared and fell into their ears.
"It sounded like a beast roaring."
"Yeah, I heard it."
"We entered this plain and haven't encountered any strange beasts yet. Now, not long after it started raining, there were roars of beasts. This heavy rain is really unfriendly to us..."
"Soldiers will block us, and water will cover us. If strange beasts come to attack us out of trouble, don't blame us for being rude and treating them as food."
After hearing the roar of the beast, the two investigators focused their attention on the direction from which the roar came.
Through observation, they found no trace of strange beasts in the direction where the roars of beasts appeared.
However, the roars of beasts are still continuing to appear, so we still need to remain vigilant.
…………
"Wow, wow, wow..."
The heavy rain fell from the sky, as if someone above the clouds was pouring water on the ground.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood at the entrance of the cave and looked into the distance. He soon discovered that the rainwater in the low-lying areas had flooded some areas.
Now the rainwater is flooding the low-lying areas very quickly, at least two to three times faster than the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead initially expected.
At the current rate, the rain will soon form lakes in low-lying areas in the distance.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead is now very lucky to have found a cave to stay in a high place. If he had not been able to find the current shelter, he would have had a lot more troubles at this time.
"Gululu..."
Becoming hungry, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his hand and patted his stomach, and then came to the place where the exotic animal meat was kept.
The meat of these exotic animals weighs more than one hundred kilograms and can be eaten for many days.
The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, planned to keep some of the fresh meat of the exotic beasts for roasting and eat, while the rest was made into dried meat for easy storage.
Cut fresh exotic animal meat into small pieces, then skewer them with branches and roast them over the fire.
After a while, the aroma of barbecue began to fill the cave, making people salivate.
"It should be ready to eat."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, tasted the barbecue, nodded with satisfaction, and then devoured the delicious meal.
Although the wind and rain outside were strong, it could not affect the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead inside the cave.
In this vast area, in addition to the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, who was sheltering from the wind and rain in a cave, there were many people who were also sheltering from the heavy rain in some places.
The caravan he met before was now in a larger cave, sheltering from the sudden heavy rain.
"This rain came too suddenly."
"Yes! Fortunately we found this cave, otherwise this batch of goods would have been lost a lot."
"I don't know how long this heavy rain will last. If it happens within a week, it will have a huge impact on us."
The merchants in the cave looked worried, but the guards did not have any worried expressions, because their main task was to protect the safety of the caravan, and other things were not within their scope of consideration.
"Boom..."
There was a thunderous explosion, and the thunder instantly illuminated the darkened sky and earth.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had just finished eating barbecue when he heard the thunder outside. His attention was drawn and he glanced outside the cave.
Soon, he noticed a huge boulder rolling down from a hill in the distance.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead remembered this boulder. The reason why this boulder rolled down the mountain now is probably because it rained too hard, causing a mudslide, and then lost the boulder by the way.
balance, causing him to roll down the hill.
"Bang."
A boulder with a diameter of more than ten meters rolled to the foot of the mountain and smashed into a forest, causing many trees to be broken.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave, squinting at the place where the boulder stayed.
Although the rain curtain blocks the view, the current area can still be seen clearly.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the place where the boulder stayed and found that it had not only broken many trees in the forest, but also broken puddles in low-lying areas.
The accumulated rainwater flows out from the gap. As time goes by, the gap becomes larger and larger, which leads to the preconditions for the formation of flash floods.
When a large amount of rainwater gathers together, it won't take long for flash floods to form.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was thinking about how much impact the flash flood would have on the downstream, when many gray figures suddenly appeared in the distance.
"Are these strange beasts coming here to find shelter?"
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, activated his mental perception and detected that these gray figures were exuding psychic energy fluctuations.
He roughly counted and found that there were fifteen of these strange beasts in total.
This number is quite large. Fortunately, the strength of the alien beasts is generally not strong. If they come to trouble the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, he can easily defeat these alien beasts.
"roar……"
The leading alien beast saw a cave in the mountain in the distance, shouted excitedly, and then led his companions to rush to the cave in the distance.
However, these strange beasts were very unlucky. They encountered a flash flood just after running a short distance.
The muddy floods left a mess wherever they passed, and the longer they passed, the more powerful these floods became.
"roar……"
The leading beast let out a cry of terror and quickly called on his companions to escape.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the fleeing beast and couldn't help but shake his head and let out a sigh.
"Running away in a panic only delays death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flood caught up with some strange beasts and swallowed them up.
As the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said, the escape route chosen by these panicked beasts was very bad.
The chasing flood quickly caught up with its target and swallowed up all the strange beasts.
