On the fifth day, before the sun rose, Luo Yuan, who was meditating at the entrance, suddenly heard a rustling sound. The sound was very soft. If he was not sensitive to such sounds, he would have missed it.
His face lit up with joy. He immediately stood up and walked a few steps to look at the distant sky.
There were seven or eight blurry black dots moving slowly in the sky. There was no light on their surface, so he could not tell what kind of shape they were. However, the sound they made was enough for him to confirm that it was an airplane.
"Finally, it's here again!" He suppressed his excitement and carefully observed the flight path of a few small dots. Then, he quickly sketched a dynamic three-dimensional image in his mind.
He secretly calculated the direction of their movement and compared it with Commander Xia's sketch in his memory. Both of them were roughly the same, but the angle was about 18 degrees off. However, this did not prove anything, and it was not a matter of who was more accurate. After all, the location of the airport might be different, and all the data he calculated was based on visual observation.
To some extent, as a military officer who had graduated from a military college, Commander Xia's judgment might be more accurate. After all, intelligence did not play a decisive role. It was more dependent on experience and knowledge.
It was impossible for everything to go according to plan. Moreover, there were so many people in the Reconstruction Area. The area should not be small, and the range of activities should be even larger. As long as the error was not too big, it would be a waste of time if something happened that went south or north.
Luo Yuan looked at the time. It was only 3: 30 am, so he gave up on the idea of waking everyone up.
He looked at the sky with a hint of worry. The environment was getting worse. In just five days after the rain, the density of mutated beasts in the forest had increased more than 10 times.
The mutated beasts were still fine, as there was not much of an increase compared to before, but there were more insects and birds.
Just like the desert before the apocalypse, after a long period of drought, the desert would quickly become a green field with flowers blooming. Everything would be revived, and they would reproduce in a short period of time. Most of them only had a chance to reproduce for a few days.
This was the miracle of life, and also the survival instinct of life in difficult situations.
Apparently, the situation here was the same. After the rain, the insects began to lay eggs. After a few days of incubation, the eggs hatched one after another. It was still fine at night, but during the day, the sky was filled with mutated insects. They were so densely packed that sometimes even their line of sight was blocked. What was more serious was that the appearance of these insects had attracted a large number of insect-eating birds.
These newborn insects were quite weak in terms of strength and size. Most of them were at the white level, but there were a lot of them. Now, on the grassland in front of the rock wall, groups of insects could be seen floating around every day.
If these insects, which were only the size of a palm, were just a small disease, then the mutated birds, which fed on these insects, were a bit dangerous.
Although these mutated birds were only the size of a hawk, they were extremely fast and agile. They could move quickly within a small area. Coupled with their ferocious and crazy personalities, even Luo Yuan's two mutated beasts did not dare to provoke them.
Luo Yuan did not know the cause of the incident, but based on the ape's bad character, it must have done something infuriating. When it saw it, hundreds of mutated birds swooped down and pecked at its body. Of course, both sides were injured. Although many of the mutated birds had died, the giant ape was also badly injured. Of course, its skin was thick, so it only suffered some superficial wounds. However, ever since that time, the giant ape no longer dared to provoke these fierce and reckless "little bugs"!
Now, except for Luo Yuan, no one dared to go outside.
...
Luo Yuan stood in the dark for a while, then returned to his original spot and sat down.
There was a thick layer of rice grain-sized insects on the ground. When he stepped on them, they made a squeaking sound. These were the corpses of the mutated insects that had tried to approach the cave in the middle of the night.
However, these insects were not killed by Luo Yuan, but by the Zhanmadao that was stuck in front of him.
Soldiers were weapons. After a long period of intentional immersion of his Will, the Zhanmadao had become more and more spiritual. Even if it was just stuck in the ground, it emitted a faint aura that sent chills down people's spines. Under this kind of aura, ordinary insects such as mosquitoes and flies did not dare to approach it. They would stay far away from it if they flew within five to six meters of it. However, that was only in its normal state. Once any creature other than Luo Yuan got close to its territory, it would emit an even more powerful aura, and the little worm on the ground would die instantly under this sudden situation.
Sometimes, Luo Yuan felt that the Zhanmadao had a life of its own, as if it had become a part of him. He was looking forward to it, but it was still in its embryonic form. Maybe one day in the future, the legendary thing would really happen.
......
It was less than two hours away from daybreak, and Luo Yuan did not plan to meditate again. He quietly counted the supplies that he needed to prepare for the next day. Yes, he had decided to leave the next day.
Since he had to leave sooner or later, it was better to leave earlier than later. It was like boiling a frog in warm water. When the time came, he would not be able to leave anymore.
There were only a few things that he needed, so there was not much to think about. With his Intelligence, he had already gone through all the necessary supplies in his mind four or five times in a second.
In fact, he had to admit that he felt a little pressured.
He had not encountered any serious danger here. Maybe it was because they lived in a secluded corner and were lucky. However, Kunlun Mountain was a rare and mysterious primeval forest, so he believed that it would not be as simple as it seemed.
He didn't know what would happen along the way. However, just the thought of the powerful creatures in the lake made him feel a huge pressure.
Although Luo Yuan's strength had improved a lot, including his Dexterity and Intelligence, and his strength had increased a few times, he still did not have the confidence to fight against green level creatures.
The difference between blue level and green level was only one level, but it was like the difference between heaven and earth. If the creatures below green level were just ordinary creatures, then the creatures above green level had already undergone a transformation. Other than being stronger, Luo Yuan speculated that they all had some kind of mysterious supernatural power.
For example, the Heaven's Pillar Tree that Luo Yuan had come into contact with had the supernatural power of absorbing life. The dragon that he had killed by chance had the ability to split mountains and split water with its scales. Perhaps the dragon had other supernatural powers, but it had been killed by Luo Yuan before it could use them.
Of course, the giant lizard also had the ability to spit fire, but it was a flammable chemical secreted by a special organ in its body. In a sense, it was similar to spitting saliva. It was completely different from supernatural powers such as "absorbing life" and "splitting mountains and splitting water".
He had been lucky to kill the dragon last time, but it had died before it could use its full strength. However, he could not be so lucky every time. Maybe next time, he would have to face a mutated beast with supernatural powers!
Luo Yuan's face became serious as he thought about this.
