After dinner, it was getting dark. Jiang Feng looked at Su Xue and Zhong Li and said, "Take turns to be on duty tonight. Don't fall asleep, and don't take off your clothes, in case of any accidents!"
"I understand. Then I'll go first." Zhongli nodded and said to Jiang Feng.
"Okay, don't worry too much. Just call me when you hear any noise." Jiang Feng had no objection and agreed directly.
"Um"
In addition to them taking turns guarding, Ah Huang will also pay attention to the surrounding situation. His senses are much stronger than humans.
This location is pretty good. It is relatively safe without the fire to attract mutant beasts, so there is no need to guard outside. Zhongli just needs to stay in the tent and pay attention to the movements outside.
"You go and rest, we will set off early tomorrow!" Jiang Feng looked at the little loli Su Xue and said to her.
"Oh, then I'll go to bed." Su Xue obediently got into the tent and prepared to sleep.
Jiang Feng also crawled into his tent and started thinking about his own things. Although his goal was now clear, Jiang Feng had no idea what kind of situation he would encounter in the mountains.
As the night deepened, the entire mountain forest fell into silence. There was no sound all around. Zhongli sat in the tent, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.
It seemed as if she had never felt so peaceful since she was born, and the stars in the sky were much brighter than before the end of the world.
“Bang!”
Just when she was lost in thought, a slight noise suddenly reached her ears.
"Who!" Zhongli, who was originally a little dazed, shuddered, immediately stood up and began to carefully observe the movements around her, but she didn't see anything except Ah Huang.
The noise just now occurred suddenly. If it was a mutant beast, it would definitely not approach them so silently. Even a flying bird would make the sound of flapping its wings.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Suddenly a chill fell on her face, and the sounds gradually became more frequent.
"Rain? It's raining?" Maybe it hasn't rained for too long. Even though she knew it would rain, she still felt a little confused. The stars in the sky were still bright, but now it started to rain!
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
The raindrops were not big, but they were getting more and more. Jiang Feng, who was thinking about something in the tent, was also awakened by the sound.
"It's raining!" After opening the tent, Jiang Feng stretched out a hand to catch the raindrops in his palm, feeling the coolness and having an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Although he knew it was going to rain, he didn't expect it to come so soon!
"It's raining, what should we do?" Zhongli saw Jiang Feng coming out of the tent and walked towards him and asked.
Since they had long known that the forest would begin to change after the rain, should they still proceed with the plan? This was a serious question, as it concerned the fate of several of them!
"The plan remains unchanged. Even if the rainy season comes, nothing will change all of a sudden! But we must speed up! Go wake up Su Xue, and we'll pack up and set off immediately!" Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said quickly to Zhongli.
Now they have to speed up. It has started to rain and no one can tell what kind of changes will happen in the forest. If they waste too much time, they may be trapped in it and never get out!
Soon Su Xue was woken up, and then she packed up with Jiang Feng and the others. Even Ah Huang, who had been on guard, was ready.
As if celebrating the arrival of the rainy season, the entire primeval forest is boiling!
The roars of the mutant beasts rose one after another, accompanied by the sound of raindrops, and spread throughout the mountains. All kinds of creatures were awakened from their sleep, feeling the coolness brought by the raindrops, and made various sounds that finally converged together.
After all the things were packed up, Jiang Feng jumped down from the rock with Su Xue and the others. Ah Huang was leading the way. The darkness of the night did not have much impact on Jiang Feng and the others.
Now all the mutant beasts are in a state of excitement, and all kinds of sounds are the best cover for them!
"Remember, it's very tight, don't fall behind!" Jiang Feng's voice reached the ears of Su Xue and Zhong Li while he was running quickly.
Now they are heading towards the destination they set in the afternoon. This rain is also a great opportunity for them. All the mutant animals almost ignore the situation around them and keep rolling around in the rain. This allows Jiang Feng and his team to hurry on their way without worrying about attracting the attention of the mutant animals!
This is both a danger and an opportunity! It's all about speed!
The rain was not heavy, and it would take time to completely flood the dry earth. This invisibly provided some convenience for Jiang Feng and his companions, as they no longer needed to run in the mud and water.
They were all in good physical condition, and after increasing their speed, they quickly passed through the areas occupied by mutant beasts. The three people and the dog did not make any sound, and the mutant beasts could not detect them at all under the sound of the rain.
The location of the ant nest that Jiang Feng and his team investigated was near the southern part of the original forest, where there were higher mountains and fewer mutant beasts.
That night, Jiang Feng and his team bypassed most areas and came to the canyon where the ant nest might exist. The sky was already slightly bright. Jiang Feng wiped the rain off his face and looked at a small metal hill located in the middle of the canyon. For a moment, he was speechless!
This is an ant nest. Jiang Feng knew it the moment he saw the metal hill. Before the end of the world, termites would also build nests on the ground.
But the metal hill that was dozens of meters high and the fist-sized ants in front of him still shocked Jiang Feng!
Fortunately, he did not rush over rashly just now, but just stood at a distance and observed the anthill. However, what he saw now almost overturned Jiang Feng's cognition!
You should know that the underground part of a termite nest is much higher than the ground, so the complete nest must be hundreds of meters high!
Jiang Feng had never thought that he would encounter such a situation. Although he had considered many situations before, he had never expected this kind of thing.
"Back off!" Jiang Feng saw this and immediately led Su Xue and the others to evacuate. Seeing this, Jiang Feng's original enthusiasm had disappeared by more than half! Among these termites, there must be mutant termites that can control metal!
Although I don’t know how many of these termites there are, judging by the size of this hill, there are definitely quite a few!
They must plan carefully, otherwise it will be impossible for them to get what they want by themselves.
After leaving here, Jiang Feng took Su Xue and the others to a nearby mountain and found a place that could shelter from the rain to settle down temporarily.
Not only can they observe the anthill at all times, but the steep terrain is also conducive to defense! After a night of travel, they are now cold and hungry. They need to eat some hot food to restore their physical strength, otherwise they will not be able to withstand any danger!
