The changes in the animals and plants in the village are shocking.
Faced with such a completely unfamiliar world that looked like a primitive jungle, everyone was very nervous.
"The most important thing for us is to know whether these plants and animals will continue to grow as rapidly as they did last night, and then count the number of people in the village and the number of destroyed houses, and quickly clean up those houses that have not been destroyed by these plants." Zhao Zhengde frowned, his expression solemn. Things that happened in recent days have been continuous. Zhao Zhengde was nervous and had a poor appetite. He lost more than ten pounds and the wrinkles on his face became much deeper.
"Yes, that's right... There are nearly 700 people in our village right now, but..." Zhao Xingguo glanced at the crowd, "There are only about a hundred or so gathered here right now, less than two hundred. Commander Meng has gone out with his men to scout the surrounding area. There are at least 600 people left in our village... We need to gather together at this critical moment so we can be prepared in case of any unexpected events."
Nowadays, plants are growing rapidly, and the size of animals has obviously increased several times, or even dozens of times. Only the bodies of humans do not seem to have changed at all. In fact, because of the changes in these plants and animals, their position at the top of the earth's ecosystem has dropped sharply.
Although it is not known how high their status is among the creatures on Earth today, it seems that if you are not careful, even cats and dogs can bite them to death anytime and anywhere.
When you think about the time when these animals and plants had not yet evolved, you will see many incidents on TV reports of mad dogs attacking and biting humans to death.
Nowadays, dogs have become so big, even taller than some people, it is very easy for them to bite a few people to death.
"Fortunately, before these plants and animals mutated, our country's ecological environment was not very good, and there were no lions, tigers, wolves or the like in the wild. Otherwise, we would really not be able to survive." A young man in a blue shirt next to him reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, frowning and saying.
Another young man with a crew cut standing next to the blue-shirted young man immediately nodded in agreement, "Isn't that right? When I saw these mutated animals and plants, the first thing that came to mind was the lions and tigers of the African savannah, and the kangaroos of Australia. The number of kangaroos in Australia is even twice that of the entire population of that country... These lions, tigers, and kangaroos are no smaller than humans, and some are even much larger. If these animals mutate, I wonder if the people living around them will still be able to survive?"
The people around them couldn't help but follow suit, and the two nodded and sighed.
Before these animals and plants evolved, China's ecological environment had always been the target of attack by other countries.
In many countries, there are so many large wild animals that they need to be cleared by hunters on a regular basis. In many provinces of China, wild frogs in the fields are included in the wildlife protection list.
This shows how huge the difference in natural environment is between the two sides.
Nowadays, animals and plants are evolving and mutating, and even ordinary cats and dogs have become so big. I wonder what those animals that are already several times larger than humans will look like?
"It's useless to talk about this here. Let's go find other people in the village and gather them all together. It's already past 7 o'clock in the morning... Logically, everyone should be up." Zhao Zhengde looked at the watch on his wrist and said with a frown.
In the countryside, most people live at a slow pace. Except for the days when they go to work or go to the market, when everyone wakes up early, most people get up late on weekdays.
But no matter what, there was such a big commotion last night, everyone should be awake by now.
"In that case, the elderly, children and the weak and sick will stay here with Uncle Jiu, the old village chief, for the time being... The rest of the people will be divided into two groups. Zhengde and I will each lead a team to look for people in the village. Most of the people in our village live relatively close, so it will be convenient to look for them. Let's go and look for them quickly." Zhao Xingguo made the final decision on this matter, and the others nodded in agreement.
The chickens, ducks and geese in the village have only grown in size, but their IQ remains the same as before. There is no need to worry about plants either. They have only grown in size and have not mutated in other aspects. Even the largest camphor tree in the village, which has the greatest degree of mutation, is still just an ordinary camphor tree.
So as long as they are careful and don't deliberately provoke those large mutated animals, they should be safe.
Seeing this, everyone calmed down a little. They followed the example of the village chief and rolled up their trouser legs. They cut some branches from the lush branches of the camphor tree to use as sticks to explore the way when scaring away snakes. Then they followed Zhao Xingguo and Zhao Zhengde to various places in the village to look for people.
In Wanxi Village, most of the original residents live in the village center, and only a few people like Qin Suyun live far away from the village center.
But after the earthquake, most of the houses in the village collapsed, and there were very few houses left. The collapsed houses turned the village into a ruin. Therefore, in this situation of ruins, many villagers in the village committee chose other places as the foundation when they had to make their choice again.
After all, not everyone can be so hardworking and clear the original foundation.
In the absence of other modern tools and having to rely on their hands, many villagers are really unable to do what they want, especially those who lack labor at home. Even if they know that the area in the center of the village is better, they really have no choice.
This means that many people in the village live a bit far from the big camphor tree.
What everyone has to do now is to pick up these people, exchange information with each other, and clean up the village to see if there are other aggressive animals in the village.
For example, stray dogs that have grown bigger, as well as snakes, rats, etc.
There were not many adult men in the village, so the women with good physical strength naturally took over some of the men's work. Just like when they faced the robbers before, everyone picked up weapons and looked around vigilantly.
Qin Suyun brought a big black bean, a sickle in her hand, and frowned slightly.
I thought the changes in the road from her home to the village were already amazing enough, but I didn't expect the changes on this side of the village to be far greater than those on her side.
It is probably because the place where she originally lived had few people and many plants. After the plants evolved and mutated, the vegetation coverage rate increased from 70% to 90%. The area in the center of the village was originally mostly houses, and there were far fewer plants than where Qin Suyun lived.
Now that such a change has occurred, the area in the center of the village, which originally had sparse vegetation, has immediately increased its plant coverage from the original 30% to 20% to the current 70% to 80%.
The original pile of ruins was now covered with green weeds and shrubs, and some concrete beams were covered with lush green moss and ferns. The thick moss was like pieces of green sponges, and the tall ferns were even taller than an ordinary person.
No one knew where these fern robes were blown by the wind, but they took root and sprouted here, forming clumps and patches, covering all the rubble in the ruins of the houses. If it weren't for the fact that some places could still show some of the original appearance of the ruins, Qin Suyun would have wondered if she had entered a new world.
Qin Suyun looked up at the huge fern that was taller than a human, and there was only endless sigh in her heart.
Glancing around the village, he found that most of the newly built houses that had just been cleaned up were gone. However, the brick and tile houses that had survived the earthquake in the village now accounted for a higher proportion. However, the roofs of these houses were covered with ashes.
In most cases, there are a lot of plants growing on them. Some are covered with layers of thick moss and ferns, while others are surrounded by large trees. The most exaggerated of them is a small two-story house in the middle of the village.
This house originally belonged to an ordinary villager in the village. Since it was built not long ago and was built by the owner himself and his son, the workmanship was solid, so it was preserved during the earthquake.
People in rural areas like to plant some vegetables and fruits in front of and behind their houses. This family is no exception. They plant peach trees and grapefruit trees in the front and back yards.
Now no one knows how these peach and pomelo trees grew, but they were like vines, tying themselves back and forth on the man’s roof, and successfully twisting themselves into a pretzel, becoming a Y-shaped twin tree.
From a distance, the house looks like a string lantern, and the house is the lantern embedded between two tree ropes. If the leaves of the peach tree and the pomelo tree were not very easy to recognize, Qin Suyun might not be able to recognize what these two plants that twisted themselves into a pretzel were.
"I don't know how these two trees grew into such a strange appearance." Qin Suyun couldn't help but mutter to herself.
The others were also attracted for a moment by the strange shape of the house.
"This must be Ge Ziqiang's home, right? Let's go and take a look. We didn't see anyone coming out of their house in the crowd just now... Could it be that with such a big commotion, their family of five are still sleeping at home?" Zhao Xingguo frowned, called a few villagers in the team, and walked towards Ge Zhiqiang's home.
Qin Suyun also followed Zhao Xingguo and others to Ge Ziqiang's house.
…
But on the other side.
Zhao Zhengde and his group were leading their men towards the higher threshing ground.
The threshing ground was originally the center of Wanxi Village for decades. However, as the village grew and people built more houses, the original location of the threshing ground gradually shifted to the outskirts of the village. Furthermore, the terrain was high, requiring an uphill walk, making it inconvenient to get home. People also built taller and taller houses, allowing them to dry their own crops on the top three floors without having to take up space in the threshing ground.
Therefore, over the years, except for two families living on the threshing ground, everyone else gradually moved to the new residential area below the threshing ground.
There is only one uphill road from the village to the threshing ground. However, this road is now blocked by plants. The dense bamboo forest surrounds the entire threshing ground, like a natural bamboo barrier separating the village and the threshing ground.
This natural barrier is at least ten meters thick.
Zhao Dabao was stunned, his jaw dropping. He pointed at the vast bamboo forest that had suddenly sprouted from the ground and stammered, "Uncle Zhengde, what's going on? I remember there weren't any bamboos growing along the road near our village's threshing ground before! Other weeds and bushes are fine, but what's with this huge bamboo forest? Where did it come from? Why is it growing so wildly?"
These straight and upright green bamboos were all as thick as buckets and dozens of meters high, making them look like huge monsters. These rows of bamboos were like guards, blocking off the entire area. They were standing at the foot of the hillside and had no way of seeing what was happening inside the threshing ground. They could only occasionally hear bursts of talking, shouting, and crying from the direction of the wind.
"This bamboo has grown too much! The bamboo on our mountain used to be only about 10 to 20 centimeters wide, but it has at least doubled in size!"
The most important thing is that the bamboos in the mountains have never grown so exaggeratedly. Not only the size and height of other plants have mutated and increased in size, so it is normal for these bamboos to mutate as well, but the density of these bamboos is really too large.
The bamboo forest in front of him was densely packed and crowded. Zhao Dabao stared at the bamboo forest, which was denser than the bean sprouts his mother had grown, and his scalp tingled.
These bamboos not only blocked their way up, but also blocked their sight. The direction of the threshing ground was blocked by these bamboos. If they wanted to go up and find people, they had to cut all the bamboos and cut a path to bring the people from the threshing ground back to the village.
But with so many bamboos, and such big bamboos, how long will it take them to chop them with axes and hatchets?
A group of people looked at this patch of bamboo and their hair almost turned white with worry.
"Let's go around and take a look at the other side. If the situation over there is the same as here, we'll have to find another way... With only a few dozen of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to cut through all the bamboos even if we spend a whole day and night to clear a path for the people above." Zhao Zhengde frowned, and his expression became more serious.
In fact, he didn't hold out much hope for a detour.
There are two roads to get to Shaigchang Village. The one they are taking now is the closest one. The other one is a little farther away, but it will only take five or six minutes longer than this one. However, no one from Shaigchang has come down so far, which means that the other road is probably impassable.
…
In fact, Zhao Zhengde guessed correctly. The other side of the threshing ground was also blocked by a large number of plants. A large number of plants completely blocked the road, making it impossible for people in the threshing ground to find any chance of exit.
Moreover, these plants are almost all thorny shrubs covered with sharp thorns, and just a scratch will leave a wound on your body.
Even if they wanted to set fire to vent their anger and burn all the plants.
But it had rained heavily last night, and both the ground and the plants were wet. In this environment, even if they tried their best, the plants could not burn as they wished. Instead, they were all covered in dust because of the smoke and fire.
Among them, Wei Le and Tan Huan were the worst hit. Even Wei Le's cool colorful hair was smoked out of shape by the high temperature, and his face was smoked into a clown face by the thick smoke produced by the burning.
"Wei Le, what do you think we should do? We can't live here anymore. We have to find another place. We are trapped in the threshing ground. Soon, everyone will starve to death! We don't even have water to drink. It's really bad luck!" Tan Huan frowned, holding a kitchen knife and a lighter in his hands, and wiped his cheeks, which were a little hot from the black smoke, and spat.
"If they can't be ignited, we can only cut them down... Besides, even if we can burn all the plants, it's not worth it if we get burned to death... Let's just cut down the trees." Wei Le patted Tan Huan's shoulder, breathing heavily.
In the early hours of last night, a huge change took place in the threshing ground.
At first, due to the heavy rain and the pitch-black night, no one noticed the changes outside the tent. But after the rain stopped, and the ground in the threshing ground where they were staying had a lot of vegetation growing again, some of the rapidly growing thatch was so strong that it directly tore parts of the tent apart.
The damp water stains on the ground seeped into the tents through the tears, waking up those who were still sleeping due to the cold.
Therefore, at three or four o'clock in the morning, someone discovered this unusual change.
Because it was pitch black inside the tent, no one realized that the whole world had become like this. They just thought that their tent was of poor quality and was leaking due to the heavy rain for several days.
When the sky gradually brightened, the first person came out of the tent and woke everyone up.
The whole world has changed dramatically.
Although they were still new tents, slippery mosses had grown on them. Some people's tents even had mushrooms growing in them. Most of these mushrooms had changed their original appearance, becoming larger in size and brighter in color.
A group of people paid close attention and discovered that the tents with mushrooms growing on them all belonged to the households that had dug bamboo shoots in the mountains yesterday.
Therefore, when everyone saw the thick bamboo forest on the road at the entrance of the threshing ground, someone immediately realized that it must be because several households who ate spring bamboo shoots yesterday threw away the unwanted bamboo shoots on the roadside, which led to the current scene.
However, even if some people no longer want to admit it, they have to admit this statement after seeing that the bamboo shoots they placed in the tent have begun to take root, sprout and grow again quickly.
No one could have imagined that the mushrooms and bamboo shoots picked yesterday would turn into this in the blink of an eye.
But the changes in Sun Tiantian's family are not that big.
Yesterday, Sun Tiantian's family and Grandma Zhou's family were among the families that picked the most mushrooms and wild vegetables from the mountains. However, Grandma Zhou and Zhou Wen's family all stayed at He Guiping's home in the village, waiting for He Guiping and two military doctors to treat Grandma Zhou, so they did not come back last night.
Only Sun Tiantian carried the things and followed her parents back to the tent. Since they had been waiting on the mountain for a long time, the bamboo shoots Sun Tiantian brought back were all peeled and the bottoms removed, leaving only the freshest and tenderest parts. This was different from the other people around the threshing ground who dug up the whole bamboo shoots.
But it was also for this reason that the peeled bamboo shoots placed in the tent by Sun Tiantian's family did not take root and sprout again.
However, the mushrooms in their backpacks grew rapidly inside the baskets, wrapping up the original baskets. From the front, the entire basket looked like a mushroom bag full of mushrooms.
But only Sun Tiantian knew that there was no other nutrients in the basket except some wild vegetables. She really didn't know how these mushrooms grew?
Carrying the backpack full of mushrooms, Sun Tiantian walked out of the tent and stood beside her parents.
"Mom and Dad, what do you think we should do with these things? Can we still eat these mushrooms? How come life has changed so quickly? I used to think that after leaving home, I would live in the village for a few years, and then go back to Yunhai City after the whole society has returned to its original state... But now... I don't know if we will be able to go back to Yunhai City in the future." Sun Tiantian sighed. She had felt that her family's life was gradually getting better yesterday, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, such a big change would happen in just one night.
This environment looks like a primitive jungle. I don’t know if their family can still survive in Wanxi Village.
"Don't think too much about it for now. Just leave the mushrooms there and we won't eat them for now. We cooked wild boar meat last night, so let's eat some of that today. But we don't have much water left. We have to drink it sparingly later. This bucket of water in our house cannot be drunk for the time being. I always feel like there's something wrong with it." Jiang Meijuan frowned and kicked a bucket of water next to the tent.
There was originally half a bucket of water in this bucket, but after yesterday's heavy rain, the bucket is now full.
But she didn't dare drink the rain water at all.
Jiang Meijuan had just observed carefully that the tents with the most mushrooms were those that did not put the wild vegetables they picked last night into the tents, but placed them next to the tents, and randomly found a piece of plastic cloth or leaves to cover the mushrooms.
Not only did mushrooms grow on the tents of these people, but they also grew around the tents. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that these mushrooms grew from the backpacks outside the tents and spread to the surrounding areas.
And they had clearly picked quite a lot of mushrooms yesterday. Jiang Meijuan even felt that her daughter had picked much more mushrooms than those people.
But apart from the backpack in the tent which was covered with mushrooms, there was no trace of mushrooms anywhere else in their house.
After comparison, thinking.
Jiang Meijuan found that the biggest difference between their family and other families was that they did not leave the backpack filled with spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms outside the tent to be rained on last night.
There are many wild vegetables in the mountains, and they are not too sad if they are stolen, but it is impossible not to care about the meat.
Yesterday, Jiang Meijuan was worried that such a large piece of wild boar meat would be stolen. So she put the basket with spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms, as well as the large piece of wild boar meat, into her tent. Even though the basket was a little dirty, it was better than having such a large piece of wild boar meat stolen.
It was precisely because these mushrooms, spring bamboo shoots and wild boar meat were stored in the tent that the things in the tent were not exposed to rain, so they were able to grow.
The growth rate of these mushrooms and other plants is not as exaggerated as those outdoors.
But no matter what, these families with mushrooms growing on them are not as miserable as the families over there with bamboos growing next to their tents.
Last night, the tents where those people lived were deformed by the rapidly growing bamboo.
Jiang Meijuan really didn't know how the other family managed to sleep so soundly that they didn't even notice anything unusual. They had to wait until someone woke them up this morning before they crawled out of the tent in fear.
Completely unaware of what his mother was thinking, Sun Xiaogang looked down at his own bucket, frowning, "What's wrong, Mom? There's something wrong with this bucket of water. What's wrong? Why didn't I see it..."
"Yeah, what's wrong with this water? Didn't I fetch this water from the well yesterday? Is it undrinkable just because it's mixed with rainwater? But we haven't sent it out yet, so it should be fine if we boil the rainwater, right?" Sun Tiantian said with a frown, holding her mother's arm.
In the past, rainwater in the city always looked dirty, but last night's raindrops dripping into the bathtub looked crystal clear, not much worse than the water she drew from the well.
Sun Guangsheng looked around and felt as if he knew something, but he opened his mouth but did not say what he knew. Instead, he sighed, stood beside his wife, and patted her shoulder.
Jiang Meijuan looked at her husband, shook her head, and also sighed deeply. Then she told Sun Tiantian and Sun Xiaogang what she had just thought of.
After hearing this, the two siblings frowned and fell into deep thought.
Thinking about it carefully, what my mother said was indeed true. The situation this time was not as she said. Any plants that had come into contact with last night's rain had undergone the greatest changes. And the basket of wild vegetables and mushrooms placed in the tent last night, apart from anything else, just looking at the size, were much smaller than those found around other people's tents. Most importantly, their number did not multiply that fast.
Jiang Meijuan did not intentionally hide the truth from others when she spoke, so everyone in the threshing ground soon knew about this matter. Faced with this unknown situation, everyone was shocked and frightened, and did not know how to deal with it.
"Forget it, let's stop talking so much. We still have to quickly clear a way out and go to the village to check the situation. We can't all be suffocated to death in this small place with more than a hundred people! Even if we die, we have to die with understanding. Before it rains, let's quickly chop down some trees together and try to get out as soon as possible!"
Following a shout from the crowd, everyone responded. Even though some children and women were crying in fear due to the changes in the surrounding environment, the others still worked together to make a way.
In the threshing ground, people's shouting reminded Zhao Zhengde.
Zhao Zhengde didn't care about the changes in the surrounding environment, and immediately asked two loud-voiced young men in the crowd to shout loudly towards the threshing ground.
Let other people in the threshing ground cooperate with people outside to reopen the road from the threshing ground to the village.
For a while.
Whether it was the people trapped in the threshing ground or Zhao Zhengde and his group of villagers who were planning to rescue people from the threshing ground, they all put in their best efforts and started working.
Even if the environment of the entire world changes and the surrounding plants become unrecognizable, humans are always the most adaptable creatures.
…………
Wanxi Village is bustling with activity.
Then Meng Changlong and his group who went out to investigate the situation fell into crisis.
Wanxi Village is not too far from the outside highway. It only takes about ten minutes to walk from the main entrance.
However, this entrance was completely occupied by growing plants, which almost blocked the progress of Meng Changlong and his group.
Seeing that these plants in front of them could not be cleared away for the time being, and they were eager to know the situation outside, Meng Changlong took his subordinates to take a detour through the mountains.
The mountain road that Meng Changlong and his men took was the same one the robbers had taken before.
The mountain road here is less visited by people than usual and has lush vegetation. Therefore, after these plants mutated, the entire forest looks more like the Amazon jungle that Meng Changlong had visited before.
The group was alert to the possible dangers around them, such as giant snakes and rats that had mutated to huge sizes.
But they walked safely to the road outside the mountain. Meng Changlong did not see any big rats or giant snakes. Only the occasional flying birds in the sky showed their presence.
The road, which had already been damaged by the earthquake, was now overgrown with weeds. Countless vines had climbed up the road, and the wet ground was covered with slippery moss. Some saplings and shrubs as tall as a person were growing wildly on the road.
Prevent the roadside, which was already dilapidated by the earthquake, from becoming even more broken and desolate.
A group of soldiers looked at the desolate road that looked like no one had ever walked on it, and then looked at the tits as big as eagles flying around in the sky from time to time, which made these soldiers, who had not eaten meat for a long time, swallow their saliva.
A young soldier in the team watched the tits flying through the woods, swallowed, and lowered his voice. "Captain, when we get back this afternoon, let's go up the mountain and hunt some tits. Birds this big must have plenty of meat after plucking. Shooting seven or eight of them would be enough for a good meal. Yesterday's wild boar was so small, there wasn't much for everyone to share. I've been starving for days and have lost several pounds... So, Captain, what do you say?"
The captain of the soldiers glanced at the soldier, then swallowed his saliva calmly. He said in a low voice with a cold face, "I'll have to ask about this matter. You should just follow the team and do the work first! Don't let yourself get lost in your thoughts."
“Tsk!”
It was obvious that their captain himself was also craving for meat, but he pretended to be hiding something. No wonder their captain was already a captain even though he was the same age as him.
The soldier sighed inwardly. Those tits had been so small before that even if they had used up all their bullets, they probably wouldn't have been able to fill their stomachs. But now these birds were so big, it was a good deal to spend a few bullets on a full meal.
A group of people walked along the dilapidated road with guns in their hands. However, there was not a single pedestrian on the entire road. Meng Changlong walked on the road with a gun in his hand and a frown on his face, wanting to see the situation in other areas along the road.
However, just after the group walked about ten miles.
A group of people suddenly stopped!
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them, their hair stood on end, and everyone's face was filled with shock!
The originally dilapidated and desolate road was now covered with white silver threads. Layers of thick white spider webs completely enveloped the original plants on the road, and countless huge spider webs spread out before everyone's eyes.
Meng Changlong and his companions looked closely and saw that the spider webs were all crawling with spiders. Some of the spiders on the webs were especially large, with bodies as big as basketballs. One was even as big as the washbasin they usually used!
Yue Junhong looked at these things on the road and couldn't help but gasp.
"Fuck! Why are there so many spiders?! Have we entered the Spider Cave? There must be at least tens of thousands of spiders here. How could so many spiders run onto this highway overnight? How are we supposed to get through now? Do we have to take a detour?" Yue Junhong said as he glanced around.
But upon taking a closer look, Yue Junhong discovered that not only the highway, but also the bushes and forests around the highway were covered with white spider webs, and big black spiders were all lying in the middle of the webs.
Yue Junhong's heart sank and his expression became even uglier.
Among the troops behind him, even these well-trained soldiers couldn't help but get agitated when they saw the scene before them.
"Quiet!" Meng Changlong waved his hand, silencing everyone around him. He frowned and said coldly, "They're just spiders. What's the big deal? Calm down and keep quiet! All the training I put into you at the base every day, is it all for nothing?"
As soon as he saw the highest commander of the base, Meng Changlong, he shouted angrily.
After all, they were soldiers who had undergone long-term training, and there were still some differences between them and ordinary people. The originally chaotic crowd immediately quieted down when they heard Meng Changlong's loud shout. Even though everyone was looking at each other now, no one dared to say anything again?
It was not until several breaths later that someone in the team raised his hand to report and asked Meng Changlong what everyone should do next.
Should I go back or continue walking down regardless of these spider webs?
Since these spiders are not poisonous, there shouldn't be any big trouble if they go in, right?
Even if the spiders became the size of basketballs, they were not pushovers. As long as the spiders were not poisonous, it should not be difficult for them to pass through this section of the road. Seeing that the road had returned to normal 200 meters later and there were no traces of spider webs in the second half of the road, no one wanted to take a detour.
"We have to wait and see the situation. Generally speaking, the spiders in our Yunhai City should be non-venomous, but now the environment has changed, no one can guarantee whether these spiders are poisonous or not. We still have to wait and see before making a decision." Meng Changlong frowned and said what he was thinking.
We all learned in the army which snakes, insects, rats and ants are poisonous and which are not.
These black spiders with white patterns and long legs should not be poisonous, but Meng Changlong did not dare to gamble with his brothers' lives.
"You two go catch two birds, preferably alive, and then go and test whether those spiders are poisonous or not... If it doesn't work, let's set fire to all the spider silk here." Meng Changlong looked solemn and turned around to direct the two soldiers standing beside him to work.
Both of them were excellent marksmen, and it didn't take long before they shot down three great tits from the sky. One of them died on the spot, and the other two just fell to the ground and could not fly for the time being.
The two of them held the two great tits that were still able to flutter and approached the spider web carefully.
As the two people approached, I wonder if the group of spiders smelled something or sensed something?
The spiders that were originally lying quietly on the spider web began to make a commotion one by one.
The two men did not dare to delay. After seeing this, they quickly dropped the two injured tits in their hands that could no longer fly into the thick spider web.
I saw the two tits, which were originally as big as eagles, were tightly pinched in the white spider web.
The prey took the bait, and the spiders lying on the spider web began to move, spitting out strands of spider silk. The dense white spider silk instantly trapped the two tits tightly.
Meng Changlong looked at everything before him and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "It seems these spiders are not poisonous... I remember that poisonous spiders prefer to bite their prey to death directly, rather than wrapping them in cocoons, making them unable to move and eventually struggling to death."
Yue Junhong nodded on the side. He had seen poisonous spiders catching birds before. Those poisonous spiders did prefer to use their fangs directly, bite the prey to death and then eat.
"Since these spiders are non-venomous, our most important goal is to break through the web. These spiders are so large, their webs must be very strong and sticky. People used to say spider silk is stronger than steel. The silk these spiders spit out is so thick, if we get stuck, it will be difficult to break free, so we still have to get rid of it as soon as possible!" But Meng Changlong hadn't even finished his words...
The two tits that were struggling suddenly stopped struggling as if the pause button was pressed, and they froze straight in the spider web!
"What's going on?" Someone nearby saw it with sharp eyes and immediately pointed at the two tits on the spider web and asked.
The others also opened their mouths in surprise. Even if these two tits were injured and could not struggle for a long time like other prey, they should not have suddenly lost power and fallen to the ground!
And the struggling time was too short, not even a minute, and he stopped struggling!
"Are these spiders poisonous? But I haven't seen these spiders bite tits before. Am I dazzled?" Someone nearby whispered.
The man muttered quietly, but it was obvious that he was echoed by others around him.
A group of people said that they did not see the big spider bite the tits. The spiders simply wrapped the two tits in spider silk webs and nothing else happened.
"Is there something wrong with the spider silk?" Meng Changlong frowned in thought.
After thinking about it, Meng Changlong waved to the two soldiers who had just caught birds and asked them to catch two more.
However……
This time, just like before, the two tits were wrapped in the spider web for only a few seconds before they struggled to death!
As soon as the two great tits stopped struggling, a group of spiders spread their long legs and swarmed over to eat them.
