In just two days, the elfins' moods had undergone several 180-degree changes.
At first, they were filled with righteous indignation that a beast had killed so many cats. They couldn't wait to find the killer and make it pay. Later, Richard was the first to discover that the existence of these cats had caused a large number of rare birds to be preyed on. The other elfins were sensible and felt that the cats were in the wrong first. The killer was excusable, but they still didn't like it. Now, they had seen the killer, and they had seen the dead cats come back to life. This …
Their feelings were extremely complicated, and some of their old beliefs had been subverted. Zhang Zian thought more.
He wasn't a cat, so he wasn't as shocked as the elfins. He didn't have a sensitive sense of smell, so his imagination wasn't as rich as the elfins.
He was thinking about the connection between zombie deer and zombie cats. Could this be a coincidence? Of course, zombie deer was just a figurative name. Deer infected with prion proteins would not come back to life after death.
Prion proteins could infect cats, which corresponded to feline spongiform encephalopathy. However, there was no precedent of cats coming back to life after death. If that were the case, the scientific world would have been turned upside down.
He was still inclined to believe that these cats weren't coming back to life like zombies. It might be something that he and the elfins hadn't thought of. After all, they hadn't witnessed the whole process.
"Forget it. We won't be able to guess anything even if we stay here. The wolf has already left. If we delay any longer, we'll be left behind."
He looked back in the direction that the young male wolf had left. Although the elfins could follow its scent, if there was a wolf pack in front, it was better to let the experienced wolf lead the way.
The elfins were too shocked, and they couldn't decide what to do. The bold elfins wanted to dig up the four cats that had been buried yesterday to see if the four cats were also alive. The timid elfins wanted to pretend that nothing had happened.
At least one question had been revealed. Why did the gray wolf kill the cats but not eat them? Even in games or movies, would people eat zombie meat after killing zombies?
However, how did the gray wolf know this? It was probably impossible for them to understand it. How could the wolf have such awareness? Wouldn't it become a demon? Even if humans deliberately trained a group of hounds to do this, it would probably take a lot of effort.
Someone must have ordered the wild wolves to do this. As long as he followed this young male wolf, he might be able to find the truth.
The elves were convinced by him and followed the scent of the young male wolf out of the clearing and re-entered the woods.
The young male wolf didn't walk fast and seemed to be deliberately waiting for them. After a while, they caught up with him.
It walked and stopped, sometimes lowering its head to sniff the tree roots, and sometimes tilting its head to look at something.
"There's the smell of other male wolves' urine," Famous reminded in a low voice.
In that case, the young male wolf was indeed going to meet up with the wolf pack. It was probably not the only wolf that was wandering in the forest, hunting zombie cats.
Zhang Zian nodded. Just as he was about to respond, the elfins with sensitive hearing suddenly seemed to have heard something. They collectively raised their heads and looked behind them.
Not only the elves, but the young male wolf and the deer following far behind also looked up in panic as if they were startled.
Zhang Zian didn't hear anything at first, but a few seconds later, the rumbling vibration came from behind at high speed, getting louder and louder.
He looked up, and through the fine gaps between the leaves, he saw a helicopter coming from behind. It was about to fly over his head. The strong wind brought by the propeller shook the canopy slightly, and leaves and twigs fell like raindrops.
A helicopter?
He could actually see a helicopter in the depths of the forest?
He first thought of Snowy, because before he entered the forest, he asked Snowy for a favor. After he left the forest, he would tell her and the others that he was safe. If he didn't come out after a long time, he would ask her to call the police.
Why did he ask her? Because among his acquaintances, she was the only one who was traveling in the United States and was also in California. Otherwise, he couldn't ask his friends living in China to call the police. The American police would definitely think it was a prank.
Other than her, he couldn't think of anyone else who would call the police.
She already called the police?
Was this helicopter here to rescue him?
He was a little happy, but also a little regretful. He was happy that someone was still concerned about his safety, and regretful that the police had called the police a little early. He wasn't at the end of his rope yet.
He felt the road torch through his backpack, and hesitated whether or not to light it to ask for help.
If he didn't light the road torch to emit a strong red light as a signal, the pilot of the helicopter wouldn't be able to see him on the ground through the dense branches and leaves. But if he lit the road torch and the helicopter rescued him, it would mean the end of his journey.
To be honest, he didn't want to give up, because he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth. If he left now, it would be tantamount to failing on the verge of success.
But if he didn't light the road torch, the forest police and forest rangers would have to spend a lot of manpower and resources to search for him. He also felt bad about it, even though it wasn't his money, but the American taxpayers' money …
Time was fleeting, and there wasn't much time left for him to make a decision.
The Redwood Forest was a super large park group formed by one national park and three state parks. It covered a large area, and even though the forest police had narrowed down the search area with the information from Snowy and Megan's mother, they still couldn't pinpoint his exact location. They could only search like finding a needle in a haystack. After the helicopter flew over, it would probably take a long time to return, and it might not even return.
He hesitated, but his hands weren't idle. He took out the road torch from his backpack with one hand and raised the binoculars around his neck with the other. He didn't really suspect anything; he just wanted to take a closer look.
However, the moment his eyes fell on the helicopter through the binoculars, his hand that was touching the road torch stopped.
This … did not seem to be a search and rescue helicopter used by the forest police.
Although he hadn't seen what the local forest police used a helicopter, according to common sense, search and rescue helicopters were usually painted in eye-catching colors like red, yellow, red and white, and red and yellow. The body of the helicopter would also have the corresponding abbreviation of the corresponding unit.
At the same time, when a search and rescue helicopter was on a mission, the cabin door would be half-open, and the forest police sitting in the cabin would look down and to the left and right of the forest to increase the chances of finding the victim. The pilot couldn't just search by himself.
Finally, a search and rescue helicopter wouldn't fly very fast. After all, they were here to find someone, so they had to give the victim and the forest police enough time to react.
But the characteristics of this helicopter didn't fit any of the above criteria.
So, this was not a search and rescue helicopter.
