After this worm attack, the team never encountered a large-scale biological attack again, and the scattered visitors were no longer killed. The soldiers had a tacit understanding to capture them alive as much as possible, and then conducted detailed research.
Although the total number of attacks is not less than before. But in the past, every attack by animals, regardless of size, brought the threat of death to everyone, but now the mentality has changed, and it has become a matter of discovering the wealth of these animals.
competition.
In terms of specific results, it is necessary to distinguish which animals can be tamed and used, and which animals must be killed immediately. The results cannot be obtained in a short time, but no matter what humans do, they cannot return empty-handed.
Someone has discovered that most of these animals are edible, and there is no trace of nuclear contamination. More importantly, they taste delicious... This is a bit strange. The team has been marching all the time, and no one stopped to light a fire. Why would there be anyone?
Coming to the conclusion that it tastes delicious... Qiu Yu tried his best to control himself not to think about this obvious answer...
After more than an hour of activity, the team became quiet again.
The surrounding light has become quite dim, not because it is dark, but because as we approach the center of the island, various plants become taller and taller. There are not only trees above our heads, but also various weeds.
After the sunlight passed through the giant trees, it could no longer penetrate the dense weeds. The entire team could only march under the shadow of the weeds without a trace of sunlight.
This is a paradise for giant creatures. The warriors who had previously been able to happily interact with various animals had no intention of taming insects that were larger than themselves. As far as they knew, it was impossible for the intelligence of insects to know who was their master——
No matter how big it is.
But the animals that seem to be tameable are actually so big that they don't take them seriously.
As long as herbivorous animals don't show hostility, they don't care about the existence of these little guys at all. And those carnivorous animals are rarely interested in humans because of the large size difference. In the case of an antelope and an antelope,
Among mice, a lion can never choose the latter. Especially after a lion that may not have enough intelligence was killed by a pack of rats, no giant creature will take the initiative to cause trouble for humans.
This situation is quite consistent with Qiu Yu's inference that there are no creatures that will cause trouble to the rescue team. But if this inference is correct, it also shows that another inference is correct - there is one or several types of trouble here.
Even Kyuubi and the others could only avoid the things waiting for rescue.
Although this jungle has many abnormal plants that are hundreds of meters high, most of them are small and medium-sized plants that have not yet determined the winner in the territorial competition, so this is not an ideal place for those strange birds with good eyesight.
Predation site. And those worms seem to only exist in the jungle near the sea.
Excluding these two known most dangerous creatures, it only means that what we are about to encounter is something that our party has never seen before.
That is to say, it must meet the two conditions of not causing trouble to the rescue team, and it must also meet the two conditions of preventing the Nine-Tails from escaping. Under the same circumstances, it is simply an endless loop. The only reasonable answer is to provide the rescue team with it.
Before it causes trouble, you can avoid this trouble first. To put it simply, it is likely that the thing is big enough to be seen at a glance, so that it will not be discovered only after bumping into it, and then a head-on fight will take place.
The largest creature we see now has a body length of nearly thirty meters, but under the cover of these even larger plants, you have to get very close to find it. So the one that brings trouble to Nine Tails and the others can be seen at a glance from a distance.
How big would the creature you saw be?
Judging from the current situation, although a giant beast that was looking for trouble was killed, it took nearly a thousand people to attack at the same time for several seconds, plus the support of individual soldiers with heavy firepower. If it were bigger, it would be completely
It's not something you can handle with just a large number of people.
In addition, before taking action, Qiu Yu told Qian Xiao and others that the analysis was indeed accurate, but Qiu Yu deliberately ignored a condition that could not determine its possibility - why Kyuubi was contacted using a communicator
Later, the signal was suddenly interrupted again? It was definitely not possible that the power was out, and it was even less likely that the Nine Tails was damaged while fighting a certain creature. Although Qiu Yu's powerful lateral thinking ability has thought of many possibilities, as far as the current situation is concerned
Looking at it, none of them make me think it is reasonable.
"Master, we have been walking for more than ten minutes. The creatures around us are not significantly larger than before. This is probably the center of the island."
As soon as the money joke was finished, Ordoño also took out a delicate barometer from his bag and looked at it, "According to the previous visual inspection, the maximum height of this island should be about eight to nine hundred meters. Our current height
It’s almost at this position.”
"Have we arrived yet..." Qiu Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I haven't seen any big guys or strange things yet. There is probably a basin here. Let's continue walking to higher ground."
As Qiu Yu was talking, he was suddenly struck by the light of several flashlights in front of him. This was a temporary warning method devised by Su Hao to take advantage of the darkness here.
But when everyone raised their guns, and the two mobile teams guarding both sides also moved up, tens of seconds later, there was still no sound of shooting.
"I gonna go see."
Qian Xiao quickly crossed to the front of the team. A minute later, he jumped back and stuttered excitedly for a long time before speaking, "I saw something incredible..."
Qian Xiao always wastes time in his expressions, which Ordoño doesn't like at all, "What's the big deal?"
Qian Xiao opened his mouth, then clasped his chin as if thinking, and said after a long time, "You'd better go and see for yourself... Maybe our game can end early."
Ordoño didn't wait for Qian to finish laughing and ran forward quickly. Qiu Yu and Su Hao were a little slower.
When the two of them ran to the front of the team, hundreds of soldiers had formed an arc and looked down at the front, as if there was something in front of them, as Qian Xiao said, something too great to be described, causing them all to enter.
into a petrified state.
When Qiu Yu turned his head, he happened to see Su Hao looking at him, so he smiled at Su Hao and said, "Guess what it is?"
Su Hao slowed down in front of the answer, "Isn't the answer obvious? The only thing that will end the game early is our expedition target. The landing cabin is right in front... But, I always feel that something is wrong..."
"Exactly what I thought."
Qiu Yu and Su Hao took a big step at the same time and stood beside Ordoño.
Just as Qiu Yu estimated, there was a basin connected by large gentle slopes in front of it - a basin that seemed to have been born not long ago.
In the center of this basin is an oval metal object nearly a hundred meters long that reflects sunlight. It is located at the lowest point of the basin or pit, and is also a restricted area for all life. There is no place within a few hundred meters around it.
No animals or plants exist, and even a few hundred meters away, there are only some normal standard low weeds. Apart from these tenacious lives that can be seen everywhere in the wilderness, there is no more soil except for the edge of this big pit.
Other things, not to mention giant beasts that can threaten people.
Ordoño touched the gun in his hand and grinned, "Have you brought enough explosives?"
Qian Xiao looked at Qiu Yu, "Why didn't you see Kyuubi and the others? Your analysis was wrong? However, you have been misled by the goddess's pet. It is normal for you to not expect that the landing pod will be on this island."
"Normal? How normal." Qiu Yu grabbed a handful of soil and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully, "To confirm that this is a landing cabin, two conditions must be met at the same time. First, it must be seen by us with our own eyes. This is already satisfied. But second
The only condition is that it is in the City of Ashes. Do you think this island is like the City of Ashes we stayed in before?"
Su Hao carefully stopped several soldiers who wanted to enter the pit and said to Qiu Yu, "But the so-called landing warehouse in the City of Ashes is our own analysis. There is nothing to prove that this analysis is correct.
Isn’t it too arbitrary to use this as a condition?”
Qiu Yu shook his head, "Thirty years after the nuclear bomb exploded, if you want to find a place on the earth where the ocean and land intersect and there are a lot of living things, besides the City of Ashes, do you think there is any other place that meets this condition?"
"you mean?"
Qiu Yu simply made his meaning clearer, "The other party's landing cabin came to the earth to improve the earth's environment to what they need, so just changing the ocean or land is not enough. Although they have passed
Marine organisms bring genes from land animals, or vice versa, but after all, it is not as convenient as letting these organisms develop on their own in a place with both ocean and land. Moreover, this place must not only have sufficient food like Bergondo
As an essential element for the development of organisms. It must be a relatively independent environment to prevent humans with strong curiosity from discovering them and forming a team to eliminate the organisms that have just begun to develop. Therefore, only the City of Ashes is the only one on the entire earth that exists at the same time.
A place that ticks all the boxes.”
Qian Xiao patted his head and shouted, "Yes, it is suspicious that the goddess's pet takes us in other directions. There are no earth creatures or alien creatures around the thing in front, which is another suspicious point. In Bell
Many creatures that appeared in Gondola are not seen here, which is also a suspicious point."
Ordoño pointed his gun forward, "Guessing is useless, let's just tell you, what should we do next?"
"What should I do?" Qiu Yu paused for a moment, then slowly said to Ordoño, "If it were you, what would you do about the current situation?"
"Of course I will send a small team to investigate first. After confirming that there is no danger, the large team will follow up to find the entrance to that thing."
"What about you?" Qiu Yu turned to Su Hao.
"As for me, I will be more prudent and keep the large force here, and then hand over all investigation tasks to a small group of people."
Qiu Yu nodded, "In that case...except for the members of the mobile team, everyone should return to the ship the way they came."
