An unusual experience made me realize the value of life, but by the time I looked back, I was already in my twilight years.
It seemed long, yet it passed in a flash.
Bloodthirsty new cr...
Damn it! Madmen! Madmen! These Haru are absolutely insane! How could they do something so utterly depraved? What good does this do them? Don't they need oxygen anymore?
At this moment, my feelings are incredibly complicated. I've cursed Haru's ancestors a hundred and eighty times in my heart.
However, Haru really can't be blamed this time. To some extent, they even prevented this disaster from happening, although their original intention was for their own benefit.
But in the end, Haru refused to cooperate with their gods and betrayed them. They just missed completely killing the last mutated Haru, giving their gods a chance to turn the tables.
When we arrived at the hidden cave where the Mila tribe was located, all the tribespeople were still carrying food and other supplies.
Food is important now, but I have something more important that I need to get as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!
I called over a few members of the Mila tribe, and we started running towards the place where we had originally planted potatoes and cassava. Before the protozoan algae spread, we had to preserve these precious food seeds.
Otherwise, once Protozoa wipes out most plants, we won't even have the opportunity to grow food.
“Sir, we also planted some taro, which we brought from your place. Would you like to dig them up and take them with us?”
"Dig, these seeds are very important. Take as many as you can, try to get as many as possible."
As for Dante's question, I didn't hesitate to have him dig it all out. We didn't bring back many taro initially, so we can't let them go to waste.
"Master, are there any wild cotton seeds here? Should we take them with us?"
"Take this with you! It will be very useful to us; we might need it for all our future clothes."
Su Su was puzzled. Why had her master suddenly become so neurotic? Back when he fought Haru, it was a life-or-death situation, and she hadn't seen her master this nervous.
"Master, is something serious wrong?" Su Su couldn't help but ask.
"There's no time to explain too much, time is of the essence, let's talk as we walk. Right now we need to get this news to the Asaida tribe as soon as possible."
Not only us, but all living beings will be in trouble this time. Prepare quickly; we need to leave here as soon as possible and rejoin the Asaida tribe.
To my surprise, some of the wild boars that had been released earlier actually found their way back to the cave the very next day, following the scent of their tribe.
It's likely that they've become accustomed to being fed, and since they can't find enough food in the wild, they've chosen to return to humans.
There are at least twenty wild boars weighing over 200 pounds each, along with a group of sub-adult and juvenile wild boars.
These wild boars are now a rare and valuable resource, so of course we can't let them die.
We have a lot of supplies to carry, and these strong wild boars can easily carry over 100 kilograms of supplies each, which will also speed up our journey.
Before, we were escaping from Haru's clutches; now we're racing against time, trying to escape from Haru's clutches.
After everything was packed up, not a single member of the tribe was empty-handed.
Except for the very young wild boar piglets that weren't carrying any weight, the other wild boars raised by the Mila tribe carried between 20 and 100 kilograms of supplies on their backs as they traveled.
Luo was carrying over a hundred pounds of supplies, and given his size, he could carry even more.
However, considering that Lode was leading the way and needed to maintain a certain level of mobility, we didn't make him carry too much.
Even Top isn't idle now; he's carrying a leather backpack full of potatoes on his back as he travels.
When we headed to the western region, the protozoan algae had spread to an extremely alarming extent. Therefore, we had to take a much longer route to reach the Asada tribe.
After several days of travel, our entire tribe finally arrived at the Asaida tribe. As agreed, the Asaida tribe had already made arrangements for their own settlement and were waiting to join us.
At this moment, the chief of the Asada tribe was unaware of the enormous changes in the Protozoa. Their thoughts were the same as mine before: at worst, the Protozoa could still release a large amount of oxygen, so they wouldn't die immediately.
After I explained the seriousness of my problem to everyone, everyone became agitated. If things continue like this, isn't extinction inevitable?
On my way to the Asada tribe, I kept thinking about how to deal with this problem. While passing through an area that was already covered with *Protoplastrum sylvestris*, I found that there was no *Protoplastrum sylvestris* in the areas with water pockets.
Furthermore, the aquatic plants in the pond were not invaded by *Protoporphyra yezoensis*, and it seems that the only drawback of *Protoporphyra yezoensis* is that it cannot be soaked in water.
I also discovered that Protosporum seems to have lost the function of producing spores and can only spread outwards through its hyphae.
It must be said that God is fair to all living beings; he opens a window for you but closes a door.
The *Protozoa* species achieved an astonishing growth rate, while its spores completely degenerated. If *Protozoa* reproduces using both spores and mycelium, it is estimated that the spores would have already covered most of the area.
We don't have a good way to tame these runaway horses right now, so staying on land is definitely not an option.
The best course of action now is to relocate to larger bodies of water; only in this way can the risk of extinction be avoided.
Therefore, I have a seemingly fantastical plan: to find a large body of water that will never dry up and build a giant ark, so that all the people, animals and plants can be moved onto this ark.
Time was of the essence, and this was the only method I could think of; otherwise, I really didn't know how I could survive on a land covered with Prosopa spp.
The tribe also viewed this plan as a risky move, as the water was not much safer than the land.
Even now, these indigenous people still don't fully understand how many unknown and terrifying creatures roam the waters.
All they knew was that the waters were a restricted area, far more dangerous than any place on land.
We already know of the Deinosuchus and the lake monster I encountered back in my hometown, and they seem to be quite numerous.
If one is to survive on the water for an extended period, the first thing to consider is how to deal with these powerful aquatic predators.
I have also thought about this problem carefully. The only way to deal with these water monsters is to build the ark big enough that these monsters cannot even set foot on it.
Both leaders were deeply worried, as I suggested, that they should build an ark of such great size to float on the water.
Even with the combined population of the two tribes, it would be impossible to complete an ark in a short period of time. The development speed of those protozoa doesn't seem to give everyone that much time to complete this feat.
Moreover, no one here has experience building such a large ark.
