Chapter 280 Where do the seashells come from in the forest?
The shells picked up by Jiang Zixuan include the colorful shellfish called Phoenix tail conch, the crown conch that lives in shallow waters, and the conch that has great ornamental value and also grows in the sea.
Without exception, these shellfish are all marine creatures and there is no reason for them to grow in lakes or streams.
And judging from the freshness of the shells, although they are a bit dry and discolored, they are obviously not fossils from before the movement of the earth's crust.
They should have come from the sea to this primeval forest far away from the ocean at most half a year ago.
Jiang Zixuan was very concerned about why there were marine shells in the mountains.
She used a telescope to roughly observe the direction of the river and found that the river eventually flowed into the moat of the Unified Base.
If after a drought, the moat dries up and shells are deposited in the river, it is normal for them to be picked up by Stone.
The question is, where do the seashells come from in the forest?
She continued to dig the river, hoping to find more clues, but Tiger King and his gang were about to set off and told her to catch up.
She had no choice but to ignore what was happening here and quickly follow.
The group continued to walk deeper into the forest. Jiang Zixuan casually glanced into the space and saw Jin Mohan was fighting with the seeder and was happily sowing seeds in the farmland.
That's good. As long as he doesn't come out to cause trouble, they should be able to follow Tiger King's team into deeper into the primeval forest.
The day passed quickly, and at night, the two teams set up camp together.
Since there were outsiders present, Jiang Zixuan did not take out the wooden house, but only took two tents and simple kitchen utensils.
Leng Mo and Zhou Xiaolai took the initiative to cook, while Jingchen and Jiang Zixuan chatted with Qian Bao.
"We agreed that if you help us hunt zombies, we will give you a map." Qian Bao took out a map from his arms and passed Jingchen around to give it to Jiang Zixuan.
Jiang Zixuan saw marks of various sizes on the map, but no annotations, so she didn't know what the various marks represented.
"Where is the mineral-rich area?" Jingchen asked.
"I'll show you." Qian Bao moved closer to Jiang Zixuan, leaning his head in front of her, and one of his hands was not very honest, insisting on touching her.
She handed the map to Jingchen unnoticed, "You guys chat, I'll go see if Lai Lai and the others have finished cooking."
"Yeah." Jingchen took the map and said to Qian Bao in a delicate voice, "I... no, let me chat with you."
Qian Bao: “…”
It's true that he likes beauty, but he has no interest in men, no matter how good-looking the man is.
Jiang Zixuan went to her own tent and saw Leng Mo cooking.
He was unexpectedly good at cooking, with expert knife skills and nimble hands and feet. Zhou Xiaolai, who was standing by, had no chance to help and could only scratch his head and ears and stare blankly.
Jiang Zixuan found it funny and said, "I'm going to go out for a walk. You guys eat first when the meal is ready."
Leng Mo put down the kitchen knife and said, "I'll accompany you?"
"No need, someone is with me." Jiang Zixuan said meaningfully.
Lengmo no longer insisted and just asked her to be careful.
At night, the temperature in the mountains is very low.
Jiang Zixuan put on protective clothing and walked deeper into the forest, using a searchlight to search for traces on the road.
Jin Mohan also came out from the space with an unhappy look on his face.
"That Qian Bao, how do you want him to die?"
Jiang Zixuan laughed, "Not really, are you still angry?"
Jin Mohan turned away, his expression extremely gloomy, "Since we already have the map, there is no need to go the same way again."
He really hated the leopard. Perhaps the leopard had already been subjected to 108 kinds of torture in his mind.
Jiang Zixuan picked up a shell from the ground and said as she observed, "Let's see what Qian Bao and the others want to do. I'm worried that there's something wrong with the map they gave me."
There are too many incomprehensible marks on that map. If they tamper with it and claim that the zombie gathering area is a mineral mining site, we will be in big trouble.
In such deep mountains and wilds, zombie beasts are rampant, and even the strongest psychics can easily fall into their trap.
Jiang Zixuan's idea was to trick Qian Bao and his gang into going to the mine. That way, even if there was a problem, Qian Bao and his gang would not dare to do anything rash.
Jin Mohan didn't say anything else, just followed Jiang Zixuan with a frown.
Jiang Zixuan walked up the mountain along the river trail. Jin Mohan asked, "Baby, what are you looking for?"
"Shells," Jiang Zixuan pointed to the ground, "Look, many of the shells here are marine life. I just don't understand why they appear in the mountains."
Jin Mohan also saw these, "Besides shells, there are other things."
He lowered his head to pry out a piece of green cactus from the soil and handed it to Jiang Zixuan, "This is a species that is unique to deserts abroad."
Jiang Zixuan was stunned. "Did a tornado bring this?"
What's going on with this mountain? It has shells from marine creatures and cacti that are unique to foreign deserts.
Could it be that when the end of the world comes, even the land will mutate to the point where climate can be ignored and everything can grow?
Will they see whales floating low in the desert in the future?
Jin Mohan also felt that things were becoming more and more interesting. He took Jiang Zixuan's hand and went deeper into the mountains along the traces on the ground, leaving marks along the way to avoid getting lost.
The further you go into the mountains, the lower the temperature, which is inversely proportional to the extremely high temperatures of the entire earth.
Jiang Zixuan walked behind Jin Mohan and saw that he didn't even need to figure out the direction as he just kept breaking through the woods and moving forward.
"Hubby, don't you need to know the way?"
It’s like knowing there will be something somewhere ahead, and there’s no need to stop to look for any traces.
"I heard a sound ahead." Jin Mohan swung his golden blade to cut through the thorn bushes to avoid scratching Jiang Zixuan.
Jiang Zixuan asked in surprise, "What sound?"
As a psychic, her hearing is pretty good, but how come she can't hear anything except the sound of the wind and the zombies running?
Jin Mohan didn't explain, he just carefully protected her and moved forward.
They had entered a deep valley filled with fallen trees, tall, deep bushes, and a foul-smelling miasma.
Jiang Zixuan took out two gas masks and put them on together with Jin Mohan.
As we crossed the miasma belt, we saw more and more zombie beasts, including pythons, leeches, spiders, tigers, lions, leopards, and even termites that mutated and grew as big as balls. There were monsters everywhere, which made our scalp tingle.
Faced with the overwhelming number of zombie beasts, Jin Mohan did not use his most convenient gold-based supernatural power. Instead, he used the fifth-generation dark-based supernatural power he had just acquired to directly devour all the attackers to prevent the smell of blood from attracting more zombies.
He cleared all obstacles along the way without Jiang Zixuan having to worry about anything.
Jiang Zixuan said worriedly, "If these zombie beasts leave the forest, I don't know how big a disaster it will cause."
For example, termites and mosquitoes have extremely high reproductive potential and tend to move in large groups over large areas. If they attack a base, the consequences would be disastrous.
Jin Mohan understood her thoughts, but the reality was very troublesome.
"This forest contains countless resources. In today's world where resources are becoming increasingly scarce, it is impossible to destroy them all with thermal weapons."
The power of missiles cannot even eradicate the crisis completely. The reason why zombies have increased sharply in various places now has a lot to do with the high-intensity radiation from the use of missiles.
If you want to destroy all the zombie beasts in the primeval forest, you can only use nuclear bombs to wipe out the entire forest.
Once a nuclear bomb is released, the consequences will be even more tragic.
