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 a detailed study.
Although the total number of attacks has not decreased compared with before. But in the past, every animal attack, regardless of size, brought everyone a threat of death. But now the mentality has changed, and it has become a competition to discover the wealth of these animals.
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 and no one stopped to light a fire. Why would 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 passes through the giant trees, it can no longer penetrate the dense weeds. The entire team could only march under the shadow of 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 he is.
But the animals that seemed to be tameable were so big that they didn't take them seriously.
As long as herbivorous animals don't show hostility, they don't care about the existence of these little guys. As for those carnivorous animals, few are interested in humans because of the large size difference. Between an antelope and a mouse, a lion can never choose the latter. Especially since a lion, which may not have enough intelligence, was killed by a pack of rats, no giant creature has ever taken 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 the other inference is correct - there is one, or several, things that are so troublesome that even Kyuubi and the others can only avoid them and wait for rescue.
Although there are many abnormal plants hundreds of meters high in this jungle, most of them are small and medium-sized plants that have not yet determined the winner in the territorial competition. Therefore, 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 can only mean that what they are about to encounter is something that their 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 avoid this trouble before it causes trouble to the rescue team. To put it simply, it means that the thing is likely to be 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 seen now is nearly thirty meters long, but under the cover of these even larger plants, it can only be discovered at a very close distance. So how big would the creature that caused trouble for Kyuubi and the others, that could be seen at a glance from a distance, be?
Judging from the current situation, although a giant beast that was looking for trouble was killed, it was only accomplished by nearly a thousand people attacking at the same time for several seconds, plus the support of heavy firepower from a single soldier. If it were bigger, it would be impossible to deal 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 be determined for possible reasons - why Kyuubi was contacted using a communicator Later, the signal was suddenly interrupted again? It's definitely not possible that it's out of power, and it's definitely not possible that the Nine-Tails was damaged during a fight with a certain creature. Although Qiuyu's powerful lateral thinking ability has thought of many possibilities, but judging from the current situation, none of them make him feel 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 an exquisite 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 hit by 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 came up, tens of seconds later, there was still no sound of shooting.
"I gonna go see."
Qian Xiao quickly moved towards the front of the team. A minute later, he jumped back and stuttered excitedly for a long time before finally speaking, "I saw something incredible..."
Qian Xiao always wastes time in his expressions, which Ordoño doesn't like at all, "What's this 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 incredible 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 deep pit, and is also a restricted area for all life. There are no animals and plants within a few hundred meters around it, and even a few hundred meters away, there are only some normal standard low-growth plants. Grass. Apart from these tenacious lives that can be seen everywhere in the wilderness, there is no other thing other than soil appearing right up to the edge of this big pit, let alone 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 Jiuwei and the others? Is your analysis 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 need to be met at the same time. First, it has been seen by us with our own eyes, which is already satisfied. But second The first condition is that it is in the City of Ashes. Do you think this island looks like the City of Ashes we stayed in before?"
Su Hao cautiously 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 any other place can meet 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 the other way around, 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 biological development. It must also be a relatively independent environment to prevent humans with strong curiosity from discovering them and forming a team to destroy 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 have appeared in Gondola are not seen here, which is also a suspicious point."
Ordoño pointed his gun forward, "There's no use in guessing. Let's just talk about it. 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?"
"Me? 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."
