In mid-June, it is spring in Qinghai. The wild rapeseed flowers on both sides of the road have just opened. From a distance, they are all golden.
The sky is vast and the population is sparse. The Qingmang team walked on the road for a whole day without seeing a few zombies, let alone people.
"Captain, do you think there are still people alive here?"
Lei Min looked at the lush plants around him with interest. After the apocalypse, humans and animals have mutated. Only the plants are still the same as before, and they seem to be growing better than before the apocalypse.
"It's hard to say, I think there is some."
In addition to checking a lot of human geography information about the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the library, Cheng Xiaohe also found several survivors from Qinghai at the Ancheng base.
These two survivors escaped half a year after the end of the world. From their mouths, everyone learned that there should be many living people here, but they were all scattered in every corner.
"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with staying here. The place is big and there are few zombies. You can just farm two acres of land and live a leisurely rural life!" Liu Dan said with a longing look on his face. .z.br>
"You think too simplistically. If fields are really so easy to cultivate, why did the survivors go to such great lengths to escape to the mainland?" Yin Yaxiu shook her head. At a glance, this girl knew that she had grown up in the city. Having grown up in the countryside, I don’t understand country life at all.
"Ya Xiu is right. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is no better than the inland. The farming environment here is harsh. Only a few crops can grow, and the yield is not high. It is impossible to survive by growing crops alone."
Lin Qingqing said, looking at the endless snow-capped mountains in the distance. They have been standing there for who knows how many years. The end of the human world seems to have nothing to do with them. No matter what species survives on this planet, Only they never change.
The air in the plateau seemed to have a unique smell of roughness and freedom. Smelling this wild smell, the anxiety in Lin Qingqing's heart gradually eased.
The national highway that Qingmang's team took can lead directly to Ningchuan City, but Lin Qingqing did not intend to go there.
When they were about to arrive near Ningchuan City, Qu Xingchi, who was leading the way, turned the steering wheel and turned onto a side road.
Because we were far away from the city, the road became narrower and narrower, and more and more deviated. In the end, everything ahead turned into a dirt road, and the surrounding area turned into an endless grassland half a person's height.
"Why does it feel like something is wrong? The grass is a little too dense, isn't it?"
Qu Xingchi frowned. According to the information, there is no such grassland on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Only areas with abundant rainfall can grow such lush and tall weeds.
Although there will be much more rain after the apocalypse than in the past, it will not necessarily change the style of the entire area.
"It's indeed strange. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Everyone, be careful! Especially those wild animals!"
Lin Qingqing also became vigilant. Once the natural world changes, it will definitely not only change the plants. With such abundant aquatic and grass resources, the animals living here must also have undergone great changes.
When mentioning animals, everyone immediately thinks of the yak and Tibetan antelope in Lin Qingqing’s simple painting.
"Sister Qiao, Tibetan antelopes were protected animals before the apocalypse. If no one takes care of them after the apocalypse, will these Tibetan antelopes be caught and eaten by the survivors?"
Qu Xingchi thought of Song Qiao's arrest of poachers, and couldn't help but worry for the sheep.
Although his idea was a bit novel, Song Qiao still replied seriously: "I don't know, maybe. After all, human life is more important than sheep."
"I think your worries are a bit unnecessary."
At this time, Wen Ling suddenly said.
"Do you want to see Tibetan antelopes? They're right in front of you!"
"Huh? Such a coincidence? I was just thinking about the sheep, and the sheep came!" Lei Min was a little eager to give it a try. She had never seen a Tibetan antelope before. "Go and see, go and see. It is said that this kind of sheep is very vigorous, especially It’s a big group, and the running is particularly spectacular..."
Before she finished speaking, everyone
I felt the ground suddenly start to tremble, and then there were bursts of "rumbling" sounds coming from far away, like a train, or like thousands of horses galloping...
"Mom, mom~ what is this?"
When he saw what was coming towards him, Qu Xingchi immediately lost his composure.
"Ahhh~ I'm going to die! Why are you still standing there! Get out of the way!"
Lei Min slapped Qu Xingchi on the shoulder and urged him to drive quickly.
The three cars were like three rabbits that had encountered an enemy. They panicked, turned around and ran away.
They didn't stop until they drove two kilometers in one breath.
"Captain, my God! This is my first time seeing such a big sheep!"
Thinking of the scene he just saw, Qu Xingchi's heart couldn't help but beat happily "dong dong dong".
"You were actually worried about whether someone would eat the sheep just now. Now it seems that it's good that the sheep won't eat people!" Wen Ling snorted.
"No, sheep are pure herbivores. Even if they mutate, they are still sheep. As long as the shapes of their hooves, horns, and teeth remain unchanged, they are still herbivores."
Lin Qingqing was originally worried about animal mutations, but now she breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the sheep.
——Since sheep are still sheep that eat grass, wolves should not be willing to look for "dry" humans as food if they have enough food to eat.
"Song Qiao, are these sheep really Tibetan antelopes?" Lei Min opened the picture on the file and said with some uncertainty.
"Well, that's for sure. Didn't you see their white bellies and brown backs?"
"I... only saw the belly, and it does seem to have white hair on it."
Lei Min swallowed, and couldn't help but think of the giant sheep that jumped over the roof of their car from a distance!
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a giant sheep, because each of those Tibetan antelopes is taller than their off-road vehicle, not to mention the male leader at the front who is twice as big as the other sheep.
"The leader sheep is at the late sixth level! Most of the other sheep are at the fourth level to the early sixth level. Even the little lambs are at the lowest level at the third level!"
Lin Qingqing looked at the sheep that had almost disappeared in the distance through Wen Ling's shared vision, and roughly calculated their level and number.
"Oh my God! Has the Tibetan antelope become a spirit?" Qu Xingchi cried out again.
"What did these sheep grow up on? How come they are of a higher level than most humans?"
Since the end of the world, most animals seem to have sensed it early. They have left human society, as if they have suddenly received some inspiration or call, and have all hid in the mountains and forests.
They "do not care about worldly affairs" and care about their own survival, mutation and evolution. Only a few "destined people" can win the favor of mutated animals and become their trusted partners and friends.
At the beginning, Lin Qingqing was also worried that mutant animals would conflict with humans, but now it seems that they are not interested in humans, and even keep a distance.
"Let's not mess with these mutated animals and try to go around them as much as possible." Lin Qingqing asked Qu Xingchi to find another way.
No one dares to mess with such a large mutated sheep. The size is one thing, but the key is that it is a social animal. The population size alone can crush humans.
The three cars quickly found another direction and walked away from each other. Everyone thought that this would avoid conflicts, but they didn't expect that only ten minutes later, the mutated Tibetan antelope group turned around and chased them. Come up.
"No, have they discovered us?" Looking at the flying dust behind him, Qu Xingchi's scalp tightened and he immediately accelerated the car.
A group of three-meter-tall Tibetan antelopes, with bare legs measuring 1.8 meters, did not want to compete with these antelopes who were best at running long distances.
"They are not chasing us, they are being chased by another wolf pack!" Wen Ling's voice trembled slightly. This was because she was too nervous. The little girl had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, but it was so shocking. This was the first time she had seen this scene.
"Wolf~" Qu Xingchi's voice changed.
Wolves are not scary, but the wolves that can chase this group of Tibetan antelopes running like crazy with the leader of the sixth level are definitely not ordinary wolves.
"What kind of wolves? How many? What level?"
Lin Qingqing asked three questions in a row. At the same time, the superpowers in her body were surging crazily, and she was ready to fight at any time.
"I don't know what kind of wolf they are, but these mutant wolves are about the same size as mutant Tibetan antelopes and have the same level. Although they are not as numerous as sheep, they are faster than them."
As soon as Wen Ling finished speaking, the sheep behind her had already arrived.
Driving in a group of tall mutant beasts is a very dangerous thing. Lin Qingqing decisively asked everyone to stop the car, and then quickly activated her powers to protect the car directly with an ice cover.
At the same time, Yin Yaxiu and Wen Ling took action at the same time, turning on the sensory shielding function to the maximum without Lin Qingqing's reminder.
As soon as they were ready, a huge male Tibetan antelope stepped on the ice cover above their heads and jumped over. Then, two, three... countless Tibetan antelopes ran by them, jumping and flashing. Pass.
A moment later, a wolf howled from behind, and then huge mutant wolves appeared in everyone's sight.
Wen Ling was right. The mutant wolves were much faster than the Tibetan antelopes. They quickly caught up with the sheep in front and began to attack the target they were looking for.
This was their first time to watch the fight between mutant beasts at such a close distance. This primitive, brutal collision and tearing was also mixed with collisions of supernatural energy from time to time. The scene was very spectacular.
I saw a giant gray-yellow wolf suddenly speeding up and running for a few steps, then leaping high and pounced on the back of a Tibetan antelope.
The giant wolf chose its target very well. It was obviously an underage lamb, but even if it was a lamb, it was not easy to mess with. Between life and death, it kicked its hind hooves and kicked the lamb behind it desperately. The giant wolf can bring up a thick cloud of dust every time it slaps its hoof, which shows how powerful it is.
The giant wolf is not to be outdone. It is incredibly flexible and can avoid the opponent's attacks just right every time.
But a lamb is a lamb after all. No matter how stubborn it is, it is no match for an adult giant wolf. It died under the wolf's mouth after struggling for a few rounds.
Lin Qingqing squinted her eyes. If she read correctly, these mutated Tibetan antelopes all have earth-type powers, while the mutated giant wolves all have wind-type powers.
The sheep of the earth element, the wolf of the wind element! This is interesting!
