Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Do you know what disasters have occurred in this world?"

However, Liang Weilun shook his head: "It has been too long ago. There have been faults in our civilization, and there are almost no records."

After a pause, he added: "According to the old man in the camp, there are some records that a long time ago, there was no Yin Tide in this world, so we suspect that the original disaster was related to the Yin Tide. Of course, this is just a guess and there is no evidence. ."

All right.

Jiang Cheng nodded.

Soon, their car caught up with the convoy in front.

Jiang Cheng saw many adults and children in the convoy ahead, including men, women, old and young, with few women and mostly men.

At least 300 of them were armed with guns, and some even had heavy machine guns on the roofs of their vehicles.

But that's all, there doesn't seem to be a more powerful thermal weapon.

After all, it's just a camp, nothing comparable to a land boat ride in a refuge.

Jiang Cheng roughly counted and felt that the number of people in this convoy was between 500 and 600 at most, and it could only be regarded as a small camp.

"Which camp's convoy is this?" He looked at Liang Weilun.

Liang Weilun hurriedly reached to the driver's seat window and asked loudly: "Which camp are you from?"

Jiang Cheng: "..."

You didn't even know his identity, so you dared to give him a ride? !

The driver hurriedly replied loudly: "Sir, we are the Jinfeng Merchant Group and do not belong to the camp."

"Jinfeng Business Group?" Liang Weilun was confused and looked at Jiang Cheng: "Do you know about the business group?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

Liang Weilun immediately leaned over again and asked: "What does your business group do?"

The driver replied respectfully: "In the past, we mainly did business between camps, bartering and earning the price difference between the two places."

"What did you mean before? Do you still do it now?" Liang Weilun's eyes lit up.

The driver said: "It depends on the situation now, but we don't sell water. We should be able to trade other things."

“Not trading water?”

"Sir, you also know the current situation. We all have to find ways to save ourselves. We can't trade even if we want to."

"That's true."

Liang Weilun shrugged towards Jiang Cheng: "That's it."

"Da da da..." Suddenly there was intensive gunfire from the front.

The two people hurriedly looked up and saw several evolved mantises attacking the spider cars. The dense bullets hit them and splashed sparks on the exoskeleton of the evolved mantises.

However, the firepower was very fierce, but those evolved mantises were only beaten into craters. The unlucky ones were injured, and none of them died.

"Everyone squat down, don't show your head." Jiang Cheng said to Tong Xiaorou and others, while he stood on the right edge of the carriage with a Tang Heng Dao, waiting.

Liang Weilun also took out his knife, spontaneously chose the left side, and said solemnly: "I had already guessed that this grassland would not go well, but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered, I would encounter such an evolved creature."

Suddenly, an evolved mantis rushed toward him. It flapped its wings and flew over twenty meters. The speed was astonishing and it was difficult for ordinary people to catch the trace.

Liang Weilun slashed out with his sword, and with a loud "dang" sound, one of the blade arms of the evolved mantis shattered, its head was shattered, and its body flew out. It entered the grass and could not get up again.

At the same time, an evolved praying mantis also appeared on Jiang Cheng's side, fluttering its wings and rushing towards him.

"Pfft!" "Pfft..."

There was only a flash of sword light, and in the eyes of Tong Xiaorou and other ordinary people, Jiang Cheng's hand and sword were blurred for a moment.

But in Liang Weilun's eyes, he saw Jiang Cheng slashing three times as fast as lightning. The head of the evolved mantis flew out, and the two blade arms fell down, and they happened to fall into the carriage.

Liang Weilun on the left narrowed his eyes and took a deep look here.

Although Jiang Cheng's level was not as high as his, and his strength was not as great as his, the speed with which he drew the sword just now made him feel a hint of threat.

"Brother Jiang has great sword skills!" Liang Weilun praised.

"Just kidding." Jiang Cheng smiled, put the two blade arms into his space backpack, and then continued to look at the other evolved mantises.

The mantises that were repelled by the convoy in front wanted to continue attacking the last car, but after seeing them easily kill two of their companions, the rest of the evolved mantises stopped in fear and did not continue to attack.

Liang Weilun said solemnly: "These things may already have wisdom, and they actually retreated like this and did not continue to die."

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly. He had already seen the wisdom of the evolved mantis.

Whether they are cooperating with each other or secretly peeking for opportunities, they are all manifestations of wisdom.

On the next road, Jiang Cheng and others took advantage because there was a convoy in front of them clearing the way.

Although some evolved creatures will attack them, it is just a test. As long as one or two are killed, the rest of the evolved creatures will retreat.

Among these evolved creatures, mantises have evolved the most, and almost all of them are insects. They seem to have evolved drought tolerance and are highly adaptable to dry environments, and they have not migrated with large groups.

These creatures are very cautious. Although the attacks along the way may seem fierce, they will retreat immediately if there are casualties. They are not reckless at all.

But this also makes the team much more relaxed.

Liang Weilun analyzed: "These evolved insects should also use this method to preserve body water. They are also unwilling to exercise excessively, otherwise they will cause water loss."

Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement: "That should be the reason."

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain why this ferocious evolved insect would be so timid.

However, Jiang Cheng sensed it and frowned slightly. He didn't know whether it was because he was being blown by the strong wind in the car or for some other reason, but he felt that the temperature was starting to drop.

"What month is it now?" He looked at Liang Weilun.

Liang Weilun thought for a while and said: "September. The hottest season is about to pass, and the thermal insulation capacity of the grassland should be reduced a lot. It is expected to get colder and colder in the future. I hope it will rain after it gets colder."

September……

Jiang Cheng was silent.

It needs water vapor to rain.

There is very little water vapor in the air now, so it would be difficult for it to rain.

The speed of the spider car is very fast. Even if it is not as fast as the wheel car running on the road in the previous life, it is still much faster than the walking speed of a person.

At the end of the day, we crossed most of the prairie, covering two to three hundred kilometers.

Finally, towards evening, the convoy stopped before a camp.

What surprised Jiang Cheng and others was that there were actually many wilderness people living here.

They could see from the carriage that there was a huge depression in front of them, like a sinkhole in the prairie.

Cheers came from the motorcade ahead, and someone shouted loudly: "The water in Longxi Lake has not completely dried up!"

"Great, we are saved!"

"There must be water here..."

The cheers continued.

"There's still water here?!"

"Looking at the terrain ahead, there should have been a very large inland lake here. It seems that the water in this lake has not completely dried up!"

Jiang Cheng and Liang Weilun both cheered up and looked at each other, seeing the look of surprise in each other's eyes.
