An hour passed, and it was the next person's turn to keep watch. Xiao Yi gently woke him up and handed him the task of keeping watch. After the handover, Xiao Yi crawled into the tent, lay down in the soft sleeping bag, and quickly fell asleep. He knew that new challenges awaited them tomorrow, but at this moment, he just wanted to rest well and reserve more strength for tomorrow.
The next morning, the first rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the tree trunks. Everyone slowly woke up, rubbed their sleepy eyes, and began preparing for the new day.
Living in the apocalypse, they couldn't afford to be careless. When preparing their food, they deliberately chose dry rations that were bland and inconspicuous. They chewed them carefully, fearing the aroma of the food would attract unnecessary trouble.
However, just as they were about to set off, a huge roar suddenly came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a huge black shadow passing over their heads at an astonishing speed.
"What is that?" someone exclaimed.
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and uneasiness. They had seen many strange creatures in this forest, but this was the first time they had seen a giant flying creature like this.
"Could it be a monster?" Xiao Yi frowned, an ominous premonition rising in his heart.
They stared at the sky nervously, fearing the shadow would reappear. Sure enough, not long after, the huge shadow returned. This time, everyone finally saw its true form—it was a giant butterfly!
The butterfly's wingspan was several meters wide, and the patterns on its wings were intricate and beautiful, but at this moment, it looked extremely strange to everyone. It circled in the air, as if searching for something.
"What should we do?" someone asked in a trembling voice.
Xiao Yi took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. He knew that panicking at this moment would only put them in a more dangerous situation. He looked around, looking for a place to hide.
"Hurry, let's climb to a higher tree trunk!" he commanded decisively.
Upon hearing this, everyone sprang into action. They quickly climbed higher up the tree trunks, hiding among the dense leaves. They held their breath, staring intently at the giant butterfly.
Fortunately, the butterfly didn't seem to notice their presence. After circling in the air for a while, it flew away.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their tension finally easing a bit. They knew that in this apocalyptic forest, filled with unknowns, danger was everywhere. They had to remain vigilant at all times to survive.
