Chapter 801: Visitors
The surroundings were silent with only the buzzing of mosquitoes. No one was sent out hunting. Instead, everyone gathered together to eat the stored food.
Li Qingningyuan was holding a magnetic field corrector that had just been delivered, calculating their approximate location and planning tomorrow's itinerary.
After two days of hesitation, Gu Qingji had enough crystal cores to maintain his physical condition and was able to walk on his own, but Yu Mengchu developed a fever.
"It may be that the blood accumulation in the internal organs was not cleared in time, causing the infection." After Gu Qingyue and the healing psychic helped her check, they were helpless.
"The most effective way is to check the drainage," but now there is obviously no such condition, and Gu Qingyue himself knows it clearly, "Let's take anti-inflammatory drugs to control it for now."
"Base commander, I'm fine." Yu Mengchu's cheeks were flushed, and she was still smiling at Lu Weiyi in a daze.
"Don't worry, we will go back as soon as possible." Lu Weiyi took out the medicines that he had specially stored at the beginning of the end of the world and had been reluctant to use. Fortunately, the time on the dark side of the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant stopped, so these things would not expire. Otherwise, with the current technology, if he wanted to reduce inflammation, he could only rely on traditional Chinese medicine, and the effect would be unknown how slow.
Ye Jia helped Yu Mengchu drink the medicine, and soon he fell asleep in a semi-comatose state.
"From now on, you, Du Ping and Chen Xing will be responsible for protecting her safety. Don't worry about other things," Lu Weiyi said.
"I understand." Ye Jiaying.
"Su Yan, let your men patrol now, and my men will be on guard from 9 pm to 5 am."
Su Yan gestured to him with an OK gesture from a distance and turned to arrange the personnel. Lu Weiyi reminded the team members to take the time to rest.
"Is that... a person over there?" someone suddenly asked, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
The man was pointing in the air. In the blue sky, a huge mutant bird with a person in its claws was flying towards them from a distance. Judging from its path, it should be passing over them.
"It's really a person."
"Are you still alive? How did you get caught by a mutant bird? Where are you taking it?"
"I heard that some birds have the habit of catching prey and bringing it back to their nests. Could it be that they are treating humans as prey?"
"What's so strange about that? Didn't animals eat people before the end of the world? What about now?"
"He seemed to move. I saw him struggle a bit. ...Should we save him?"
The person who spoke looked at Su Yan and Lu Weiyi and found that the two were silently looking up at the mutant bird flying towards them, with no intention of taking action.
The others looked at each other, not sure what they meant, and did not dare to act rashly.
Just as the mutant bird flew over the group of people, the captured people seemed to have just seen them and immediately struggled violently and shouted for help.
Su Yan looked at Lu Weiyi and asked him whether he wanted to save her.
Anyone could sense that something was wrong with this person's appearance. They had been here for two days and hadn't seen any signs of human activity. Now that they were preparing to leave, this person suddenly appeared.
Lu Weiyi also considered this. He looked up but did not look at the man who was asking for help. Instead, he looked at the mutant bird that was holding him. It was a mutant eagle with sharp eyes and claws.
Noticing Lu Weiyi's gaze, he looked towards him and called out a warning.
Lu Weiyi was also considering whether to save people or not. Of course, it was not because of this person, but because of the different direction. This kind of thing was obviously a trap. If they saved it, it would mean that they would need to waste more time to participate in it, but it was also the most likely opportunity to get news about Wen Jing and his group, or the situation nearby.
He glanced at the unconscious Yu Mengchu and said, "It's a mutant eagle. Everyone, be alert and be careful of super powers."
No one said they meant to save people, and no one objected. It's been six years since the apocalypse, and the idea of being kind is long gone.
Everyone listened in tacit understanding as the man in mid-air shouted for help. He struggled in vain, and was finally grabbed by the mutant eagle and flew away.
"Are we being targeted?" Xu Sa suddenly asked after the person disappeared from sight.
"Hmm?" Lu Weiyi looked at him.
"The eagle's claws only grabbed the man's clothes, without any wounds." How could normal hunting be like this?
"Everyone be more vigilant." Lu Weiyi already confirmed his words in his heart.
However, this attitude of non-participation also shows that he is unwilling to get entangled with the other party.
It’s a pity that the other party didn’t seem to understand, or didn’t want to let them go.
Less than an hour after the man left, the mutant eagle flew over again, this time holding a young boy in its claws.
The child's frightened cry was so loud that it woke everyone up before anyone arrived.
Su Yan looked towards Lu Weiyi, silently asking him what to do.
This time no one asked whether to save the child or not, but when they thought about it and saw the young child, many people still felt soft-hearted.
The plan to cultivate embryos at the Kyoto base was not fully implemented due to the chaos in Kyoto, which brought the enthusiasm of each base for children to its highest point.
Lu Weiyi glanced at it and pretended not to see it, but his mental power had already flipped the controller in the space, making preparations for the second one.
Just as the mutant eagle flew over their heads, the boy also asked them for help, and he seemed to have seized the opportunity, and the ice blade in his hand suddenly chopped down at the mutant eagle's claws.
The mutant eagle that was attacked screamed and shook off the child, and the boy fell straight down from mid-air.
"ah--"
Screams of fear echoed all around, and this time, without anyone having to say anything, several people immediately used their special powers to go and pick up the people.
Lu Weiyi sighed and glanced at Xu Sa. Electricity immediately surged around the mutant eagle that was chasing the little boy.
The mutant eagle sensed something was wrong and turned around to leave, but the small green branch thrown by Lu Weiyi tied its claws and pulled them down with great force.
The little boy had been picked up and safely placed on the ground. When others saw Lu Weiyi attacking the mutant eagle again, they immediately started to help.
The mutant eagle, whose claws were being pulled, wanted to fly away again at first. However, after being delayed by several supernatural attacks, Gu Qingji's mutant plants rushed out and directly tied up the opponent's wings, hanging it upside down high.
With its feet and wings tied up, the mutant eagle completely lost its freedom. It struggled and bit the big tree that hung it upside down, making banging sounds.
Lu Weiyi winked at Xu Sa, who immediately walked to the mutant eagle and started guarding it.
The little boy on the other side was also put down, and Su Yan gently walked up to him and asked about his origins.
"Thank you uncles, my name is Pang Ansheng, and I am eight years old." The little boy scratched his hands together, as if he was nervous, but he tried his best to calm himself, and his eyes moved vigilantly around the people.
Su Yan met his gaze and also looked at the child in front of him carefully. Unlike those who had a hard life, his little face was rosy and had baby fat, which made him look particularly cute, and his sparkling eyes showed intelligence.
But……
Su Yan glanced at his hands that were pinching each other. Those hands didn't look like a child's hands at all. His knuckles were thick and calloused.
"My home is in Shouhe Village. I...can I stay here for a while? My grandfather and others will definitely come to rescue me if they see me being caught by an eagle."
"Of course. We are lost now, so we can ask them to help me find the way."
"Yes, my grandfather and others will definitely be willing to help you," Pang Ansheng nodded continuously.
Su Yan sat next to him and chatted with him to get information. On the other side, Xu Sa circled around the mutant eagle twice and shouted to the team, "Brothers, I see that the level of this eagle is getting lower and lower, and it hasn't mutated much. Why don't we just kill it and have a midnight snack?"
"Okay, we don't have any mutant eagles where we are. I've never eaten eagle meat before. Is it delicious?"
"All animal meats are like this. Once you roast them and sprinkle cumin on them, the aroma will immediately spread out."
"Do you want some help? This creature is a bit big. We need to kill it first, right?"
"Disembowel or chop off the head? Is it no different from killing a chicken?"
Several people who understood what he meant immediately responded and stood up and walked towards him. The mutant eagle struggled more violently, and the clanging sounds attracted Su Yan's attention. Pang Ansheng immediately stood up and ran over when he heard it.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "Uncles, can you please not kill it?"
"Doesn't it always come to your village to capture people? Wouldn't it be able to get rid of a big disaster for your village if you kill it?" Su Yan looked puzzled and even comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'll give you some meat later."
Pang Ansheng shook his head and cried, "He kidnapped my...second uncle. I want...to wait for grandpa and the others to arrive and then find its nest to see if I can save my second uncle."
"Please, uncles, we have food in our village and we can ask them to compensate you. Can you please not kill it first?"
Su Yan glanced at Lu Weiyi casually and sighed, "It's not easy to have a relative alive in this world nowadays. We don't need those two, so why don't we save its life first?"
Although this excuse was not brilliant, it was acceptable. Xu Sa was not sure whether the purpose of the test had been achieved. As he was hesitating, he saw Lu Weiyi take two steps forward with a ring-shaped instrument in his hand.
"To prevent it from escaping, let's install a controller."
"Good idea!" Xu Sa immediately took it over.
This thing has never been promoted in other bases and is only used in a small area in Yueban Bay. Seeing that Su Yan and his group didn't understand what it was, Xu Sa explained it generously.
"This is an instrument developed by our base to control mutated plants and animals or zombies." Xu Sa motioned to Lu Weiyi to give him the controller, and he pressed it in front of everyone. There was a crackling sound of electric current, and sparks flashed in the middle of the ring.
"Of course, if you really don't obey, there are bombs inside. Although the content inside won't be enough to explode into ashes, it will definitely cause death."
He pinched the controller and gestured twice on the mutant eagle mountain, and said, "Install it on the neck? It's the most reliable here, and one strike can be fatal."
"Can".
"no".
Su Yan and Pang Ansheng's voices rang out at the same time, and everyone's eyes immediately turned towards him.
