Zhao Feng was more than ten kilometers away from the giant tree in the west. From the edge of the cliff where he stood, he could not see the top of the tree at all. The chasm to the east was a large rift valley of unknown length. The narrowest part was about
It's about two or three kilometers, and the widest part is estimated to be hundreds of kilometers or even wider.
Because of the terrain and ground vegetation, the climate has changed. In the past, Bac Ninh City had a dry climate, with high temperatures and little rain in summer, and cold and windy winters. Now it has become humid, with moderate temperatures, and dense jungles are dotted with streams and rivers.
lake.
Most of the vegetation on the ground is as tall as a person, and the crowns of most of the towering trees are not included in the white clouds. However, compared to the giant tree as tall as the sky, these tall trees are like ants. Currently, it is
It's summer, and in Zhao Feng's field of vision, there are green trees and hundreds of flowers blooming, which is a rare beauty.
However, in the green ocean, murderous intent is everywhere, and predators and prey often switch roles with each other; before the great change, with the improvement of living conditions, more and more people in the city kept cats and dogs. Nowadays, cats and dogs have become
predators; domestic cats that were common in the past are now as big as cheetahs, and some even catch up with lions and tigers; large dogs, such as mastiffs, are almost as big as small trucks.
Among these domestic animals, the one that has changed the most is the pig. This domestic animal was originally an omnivore, but now it has become a tank-like existence among domestic animals. Its tusks are comparable to ivory, and part of its body is covered with hard scales.
Of the local species, the most terrifying ones are undoubtedly rats. These guys have grown a lot in size, ranging from 566 meters to more than one or two meters in length. The teeth in their mouths have become very sharp, and their fur has become tough. They swarm in groups.
Wandering in the jungle, no matter whether they are edible plants or animals, these guys have wiped them all away.
Small insect-like creatures are now larger in size and have more means of defense. As the first species to wake up after the great changes, they now have a wide territory. The strongest among them are various types of ants.
They are the largest in number, with thousands of them dispatched each time. When in danger, more of their kind will come to help.
In the jungle, beneath the seemingly calm surface, there are endless battles of varying sizes and forms...
"Dad, how are you?"
On the edge of the ruins of Beining University, a young man less than thirty years old was holding a homemade steel drill and walking in front of the team. From time to time he looked back at his father who was walking behind.
He looked half a hundred years old and had a strong body. There was a bandage wrapped under his left rib. He was obviously injured. Every step he took and the wound was touched would make his face twitch in pain.
"Xiao Hai, don't worry, dad can hold on until he goes back!"
Behind the father and son, there were five men and two women holding sticks in their hands. Judging from the way they moved forward, they seemed to be two families composed of father, son and mother and daughter. In addition, the three families walking in front of the team should be neighbors of each other. In order to survive,
Leave the hiding place and walk into the jungle to find food.
A man in his early forties walking in the middle of the group was carrying a pigeon bigger than a turkey on a wooden stick on his shoulder. This domestic pigeon, which had grown bigger, was injured for some unknown reason and was killed by the group.
People took advantage, but it also gave them misconceptions.
"Dad, look at the front, it still looks like a grape tree!"
Walking at the front of the team, Zheng Xiaohai, who was responsible for exploring the path, suddenly shouted excitedly. Zheng Guangsheng looked in the direction of his son's finger and became happy. He turned around and shouted to his companions behind him: "Everyone, hurry up.
Catch up, there are ripe wild grapes ahead!"
The wild grapes Zheng Guangsheng mentioned are just what the locals call them. In fact, their scientific name is Solanum nigrum. The fruits and leaves are edible, but the leaves need to be cooked before they can be eaten.
The people walking at the back of the team suddenly became energetic when they heard that there were wild grapes in front of them. They had been without water for a whole day. Wild grapes could not only quench their thirst, but also fill their stomachs.
The team of seven people moved forward at a faster pace, bypassing several giant weeds with wide leaves, and in front of them appeared a wild grape plant that was three stories high.
"Mom, the plants we encountered are much bigger than before. This wild grape has even caught up with the huge locust tree in the past."
"Girl, that's great, there are so many wild grapes here, enough for us to eat!" The mother and daughter said happily.
The trunks of wild grapes are thicker than those of adults. Most of the fruit-bearing branches are two or three meters above the ground. Only one branch was chewed off for some reason and hung down. Under the huge leaves, there are many already
Ripe fruits.
Originally, the fruit of nightshade was very small, but now it is larger than the grapes. When ripe, it is delicious and juicy. Xiaohai, who arrived first, picked two almost black berries and tasted two. The taste was very good, so the others
They all swarmed up; the drooping branch had too few ripe fruits, so someone had to climb up from the main trunk and cut off the branches with berries.
After several people discussed it, Xiaohai and another young man climbed up with machetes. The berries here were enough for the three families to eat for a while, and it was not too far from where they were hiding. In order to avoid danger, they planned to pick enough berries.
Eat for two or three days and then retreat.
However, these three families had no experience in wild survival or hunting, and the blood dripping from the domestic pigeons they killed had attracted the attention of newly emerging predators in the jungle.
Xiao Hai had just climbed halfway, and another young man had just started climbing. Suddenly, the two of them heard a low howl. They were stunned when a black shadow rushed toward them. Xiao Hai bore the brunt, and his throat was torn by the shadow.
, fell directly from the branch of nightshade. Another young man was frightened when he saw Xiaohai falling. Before he could make any further reaction, he felt that the trunk of the wild grape was shaking and he knew nothing.
When Zheng Guangsheng saw his son falling from above, he mistakenly thought that his son was not holding on tightly, and hurriedly rushed forward to help his son up. The result was: "Ah, son, what's wrong with you, Xiaohai!"
Zheng Guangsheng saw the bloody and bloody state of his son's neck, hugged his son and shouted, and then burst into tears. At this time, the other four people who were unprepared saw a giant cat with black stripes all over its body in front of them.
This giant cat was much bigger than the largest Tibetan Mastiff that the four of them had seen in the past. It had an arched back and huge eyes, most of which were yellow except for the pupils. Facing the panic of the four people, the giant cat planned to snatch the pigeons.
Leaving, however, the taste of human blood added another feast to its menu.
The giant cat did not rush to attack out of the memory of its hugeness against humans, but slowly circled around the four people. The mother and daughter were frightened by the situation in front of them, and turned around and ran away; the remaining father and son,
Knowing that he could not fight against this giant cat, he hesitated for a moment and then it was too late to run away.
The giant cat was very fast. It jumped up, carrying a piece of meat with a fishy smell, and knocked down the father and son in the blink of an eye. Their throats were bitten off by the giant cat. The father and son struggled for a while and died completely.
Zheng Guangsheng's eyes were red. He was holding the machete left by his son in one hand and a steel drill in the other. He walked towards the giant cat, raised his hand and threw the steel drill at the giant cat. Then he held the machete tightly in both hands and planned to fight the giant cat desperately.
The giant cat dodged to avoid the thrown steel drill, and was about to fight back. Suddenly, another big guy jumped out of the grass opposite, a black wild dog nearly two meters tall, and led seven or eight of its kind with different fur colors into the giant cat.
Zheng Guangsheng was caught on the back by the leading wild dog and died on the spot.
When the giant cat faced the group of dogs, its fur immediately exploded, and it let out a shrill roar. Soon, a group of wild cats of different sizes jumped out from behind it. Perhaps cats and dogs are natural enemies, and a melee broke out.
Something broke out between the two...
"Brothers, come here and see, what is this?"
From somewhere in the jungle, a young boy shouted with joy. Following this shout, more than a dozen half-year-old boys gathered together. One of them exclaimed: "Oh my God, is this a mushroom? It can be used for anything."
It’s a house!”
A clump of mushrooms that are three to four to seven or eight meters high. The main body is white and there are light yellow spots on the umbrella cover. Since these teenagers left their hiding place, they were attacked by a group of rats and suffered heavy casualties. They urgently needed to find a hiding place.
"Can we hollow out the big mushroom that is higher up and use it as a hiding hole?" someone suggested.
"The environment here is dark and surrounded by tall trees. It should be okay to stay here for a few more days! What do you think?" someone agreed.
This group of teenagers had not had a good rest for two days, and most of them agreed to take shelter in the mushroom bush. When this group of teenagers had just climbed up the three-meter-high ungrown mushroom and planned to continue climbing, the danger came.
Ants with black bodies and the size of fists crawled out from the back of the mushrooms. Some of them could even jump.
"Ants, big ants!" A teenager exclaimed. He stepped on the ground and fell from the mushroom. Fortunately, there was a meter of weeds on the ground, so he was not injured. The three teenagers who stayed on the ground to watch heard
When I heard the cry, I found big ants appearing in my field of vision like a tide. I was frightened and ran away.
In the chaos, someone shouted: "Run!"
The teenagers who were closest to the ant colony were already knocked down by the big ants before they turned around and jumped off the mushroom, or were covered in ants, screamed repeatedly, and were quickly devoured by the big ants...
A lone middle-aged man made a bow and arrow out of simple materials, and carefully shuttled through the jungle alone. This man was very smart, and did not pass through the grass. Instead, he used vines and branches of big trees.
Move through dense jungle.
Just as he was dragging a vine to swing towards another tree, a large net fell overwhelmingly and wrapped him tightly. Just as he was struggling in panic, a look of horror suddenly appeared in his eyes...
