Chapter 231 The Itchy Tracking Talisman
The smarter big squirrels huddled together and scratched each other's backs, pulling at their thick fur to find the source of the itch.
However, when they dug up the skin where the hair was deepest, they saw golden dots flickering on the flesh-colored skin, which could not be seen at all without careful observation.
Moreover, if you shave off all the hair on their backs, you can clearly see a golden talisman mark on their backs.
It was those talismans that Zhuang Moxing had cast, but they had no effect!
Among them, the red-haired squirrel was the calmest. Although it rubbed its back against the bark from time to time, its posture was solid and its movements were restrained.
Because it is the most evolved among these squirrels, when it finds that it has been tricked by humans, it can't help but recall the moment when it was enlightened.
When the zombie virus affected the evolution of animals, it survived and did not become a zombie animal, but it was not given magical powers by the zombie virus either.
But it did find that its mind was no longer confused, it could understand many human things, and it could also keenly perceive changes in humidity in the air.
As early as half a month ago, it felt a hint of icy air in the hot air. This unprecedented phenomenon gave it a very bad premonition.
Ten days later, the air became increasingly cold, and the temperature difference between morning and evening became huge. It suddenly woke up and squeaked in panic.
Winter! The cold winter is coming!
And it has a premonition that this winter will be very long and cold!
To explain it in human terms, the Earth's relatively warm interglacial period is about to end, and the Earth is about to usher in another ice age.
That is, the geological period when the earth's surface was covered by large-scale glaciers.
But this ice age is different from previous ones. It is not a regular ice age.
Rather, it is a special ice age that was quickly brought about by the zombie virus, or even more sensationally, it seems like Mother Earth’s self-rescue.
Destroy all species on this planet, fall into hibernation, recuperate and then cultivate a new batch of earth inhabitants.
This unplanned ice age will be a disaster for all species on Earth...
So when it realized all this, it immediately led its tribe to start collecting food, and put everything that could be preserved and eaten for a long time into its pockets.
For some reason, the Xilang Grand Canyon area was not suitable for animal survival after the apocalypse. Most of the animals in the forest collected enough food and left, leaving only the squirrels.
They hide in the forest and search for and store food day and night, treating this as their own life.
The big pine tree at the top of the canyon has also mutated. The pine nuts that fall naturally are unpalatable but contain magical powers that buff the giant squirrels, but the result is that the number is very small.
So they arranged the squirrels to stare at the pine trees, and when the pine trees dropped a pine cone, they picked one up, peeled it and got the pine nuts.
However, one day the squirrel peeling pine cones neglected its duty and was taken advantage of by Gu Mao who climbed to the top of the canyon and stole the entire basket of pine nuts they had harvested in a week.
That's why they repeatedly attacked the black mud people living at the bottom of the canyon until they encountered tough guys like Liu Yu.
Thinking of this, the big red-haired squirrel stared intently at the direction of the cave with its round black eyes, and only stretched out its sharp claws to scratch when the itch on its back became unbearable.
At this time, Zhuang Moxing, lying in the sleeping bag, seemed to have closed his eyes to rest, but in fact he was taking in everything that was happening on the red-haired squirrel's side.
Liu Yu, who was resting next to him, gently patted Lingbao's plump belly, who insisted on sleeping with her, while her eyes seemed to fall on Zhuang Moxing's well-defined profile.
Early the next morning, when a ray of light shone on the top of the Xilang Grand Canyon, everyone in the Spark Team in the cave had almost woken up.
Everyone was squatting in front of the cave with their toiletries in hand to wash up. While Li Guangzong was brushing his teeth carefully, he felt the burning gazes of those around him.
When I turned around, I saw that it was the child who picked up biscuit crumbs to eat yesterday. The child had disheveled hair and his cheeks were red and cracked.
The child's clothes looked like they had been carefully cared for by his mother. However, in the apocalyptic world, there was a lack of toiletries, so many stubborn stains couldn't be washed off, resulting in his current disheveled appearance.
Li Guanzong was extremely conflicted at this moment, but there were indeed some toiletries collected from shops left in his black bag.
The confusion flashed by in a second, and then he spat out the foam in his mouth and waved to Junjun.
At first, when Junjun found Li Guangzong waving at him, he looked away in panic, thinking that his peeking had made someone angry.
"Hey, kid, don't go. Come here. Yes! You!"
At this time, Junjun looked around and realized that there was no way to avoid it, so he timidly shrank his neck and moved step by step in front of Li Guangzong.
Li Guangzong looked at the half-used toothpaste and facial cleanser at his feet, curled his lips in disdain, and then pressed the child's shoulder and said, "Wait here, brother, don't leave!"
Junjun looked at Li Guangzong, who had just finished brushing his teeth, with a confused expression as he ran away in a hurry, leaving him and Xu Yang and Xu Wei, who were also squatting to wash, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Xu Yang stroked Junjun's furry head and tried to soothe him in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid. That brother is a good man. He won't hurt you. He just acts childishly and recklessly, like a little kid."
Li Guangzong took the things in the bag and asked Sister Yu for two bottles of Dabao. He came back quickly. He heard Xu Yang's complaints with sharp ears, and his face instantly became ferocious and he slapped Xu Yang from behind.
"Hey! If you're gossiping about me behind my back, please watch out, I'm already behind you!"
