Chapter 735 Magnetic Field Disorder
"Nest..." Lu Weiyi didn't want to waste time, especially knowing that the mutant peacock was useless at high altitudes. "Do you know how far we are away?"
"As for the straight-line distance..." Wu Yue looked back, and all he could see was trees. "I'm really not sure."
"But we took off at a quarter past ten, and now..." He looked at his watch, speechless, "It's less than eleven o'clock."
In other words, the mutant peacock took them flying for less than an hour, and judging by its speed, it didn't go very far.
This made Lu Weiyi's face even stiffer. Judging from his expression, if the peacock was not still useful, he would have slapped it a few times.
"It's too late. Let's not waste time on this now. Let's first find out the situation outside," Wu Yue advised.
Although mutant creatures have existed before, this is the first time I have seen a cat with such strong coordination and cooperation.
Wu Yue really wanted to know whether all animals were like this or if this was limited to certain individuals.
"Okay," Lu Weiyi responded, and his mental power extended in all directions, looking for the possible gathering place of the mutant cats, while also checking if there were any landmark buildings that could help him figure out where they were.
In just a few minutes, Lu Weiyi saw a place that looked like a cat kingdom thousands of meters away.
"Over there." Lu Weiyi patted Peacock and signaled him to run in that direction, and roughly told Wu Yue about the situation over there.
That should be a factory before the apocalypse. The factory is full of cats. Small kittens can be seen rolling and playing in the yard. On the roofs of the surrounding houses are large cats that seem to be sleeping. They squint comfortably, but when mutant birds approach the kittens, they will quickly swoop out, causing a fuss of feathers to fly everywhere, and occasionally one or two of them will have their wings accurately injured by them.
Once they hit the ground, they become living toys for kittens, allowing them to practice hunting.
A little further away, there were mutant cats wandering around in groups of three or four. Some of the beautiful breeds were already good-looking, and the change in their body shape added a touch of dominance to them, making them not to be underestimated.
The mutant peacock flapped its wings and glided at low altitude. Its speed was much faster than that of the mutant cat. In a few minutes, it left the mutant cat behind. It could only smell the scent of a few people, and the mutant cat was chasing them closely not far away.
As Lu Weiyi and Wu Yue approached, a loud cat meow was heard from the tree which Lu Weiyi had not noticed. The originally soft and cute meow sounded powerful and domineering, even more imposing than the tiger cub accompanying Taotao.
As the sound came out, the entire cat colony was startled. Cats from hidden corners came out one after another, and the kitten was taken back to the room. Those outside were all strong adult cats, some of them had scars on their bodies, and it could be seen that they were all battle-hardened cats.
"Did they get alarmed?" Wu Yue asked.
"Yes, cats are very vigilant." It would be nice to have a group of them to guard the house.
He only dared to think about this idea in his mind. A mutant cat covered in black appeared in the yard, like a black panther. It stretched lazily and meowed a few times at the mutant cats coming towards it from all directions. They ran towards the two of them accurately.
"Let's go." Wu Yue has also seen the situation here clearly. "They have a complete system. There is no need for conflict."
Without waiting for the mutant black cat to approach, Lu Weiyi commanded the mutant peacock to lead the two people towards Yueban Bay.
After completely leaving the mutant cat's territory, there were more and more mutant animals on the ground. Not only did they have to guard against animals that jumped out from the ground to attack, but they also had to guard against attacks from the air. Even with tacit cooperation, it was still very annoying.
"Captain, is that... a signpost over there?" Just when Lu Weiyi was already getting very impatient, Wu Yue suddenly spoke.
Looking in the direction he pointed, there was indeed a city sign, but the sign that was supposed to be erected seemed to have been damaged. Only half of the pole was left, and the words on it became unclear. If it weren't for the unified color across the country, I'm afraid no one would be able to recognize it.
The two men approached quickly, and Wu Yue controlled the land to take out the road sign that was half buried in the soil.
[Turn left and walk 1,500 meters to Tongcheng].
[Go straight for five kilometers and you will reach Yuecheng].
The two unfamiliar cities made Lu Weiyi unable to react at all. His memories before the apocalypse were already decades ago. However, Wu Yue took a while to react, frowning tightly.
"Be careful around you, I'll check the map," Wu Yue said as he took out two maps from the space, one was a national map before the apocalypse, and the other was a map they recreated after contacting various bases after the apocalypse.
Lu Weiyi nodded, used his mental power to build a safety barrier for him, and kept paying attention to the situation around him.
Squirrels and weasels, creatures that were originally afraid of people, are now half a person's height. Their sharp incisors give them confidence, allowing them to attack any creature they spot the first time. Even if Lu Weiyi uses a mental barrier, it still cannot change their capture of the smell, and small animals would bang into the barrier from time to time.
Not wanting to get stained with blood and attract more carnivores, Lu Weiyi couldn't even use his knife. After a while of mental attack, there were piles of corpses all around him. However, small animals seemed to come in an endless stream, making him more and more worried about the return of the large group.
"What's wrong?" Lu Weiyi couldn't help but ask when he noticed that Wu Yue's brows were getting more and more furrowed.
"These two cities should not be in this location." This made Lu Weiyi stunned for a moment, and he reminded, "The previous earthquake changed the earth's crust."
"I know, but there was a pattern to follow before. According to the pattern after the movement, these two cities should be in the area north of the Jin Province base."
The Jin Province base should be northeast of their current location, and there is an Anjiang base in between.
"Could it be that our direction is off?" Lu Weiyi forced a smile, "Animals must have a poor sense of direction. Maybe it flew in the wrong direction and we didn't even notice."
Wu Yue didn't say anything. After all, this place was not far from Lao Mountain. Standing on the high place, he could vaguely see the highest peak of Lao Mountain.
"It is also possible that this thing was blown here by the strong wind. Zhuang Mingxu said that the wind was abnormally strong throughout the winter. If there is a strong wind outside, it is not surprising that it carries something." Lu Weiyi took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"It's possible. Let's continue on our way." Wu Yue said, and suddenly asked, "Can the helicopter in your space be used?"
"Yes!" Except for the sundries, all the tools in Lu Weiyi's space are intact. His strong supernatural power means that he needs to be on the front line more often. Zhuang Mingxu has prepared everything that can save his life and ensure that they can be used at any time. Even if he needs to drive now, the car will be filled with gas and can be started at any time.
"Let's go there," Wu Yue pointed to a slightly higher place.
"Peacock, take us over there, hurry up."
The mutant peacock flapped its wings, and the strong wind it created blew away many small animals that came over. It ran for a long distance on the ground before it began to fly up unsteadily.
When the two arrived at the designated place, Wu Yue, without saying a word, instantly compressed and solidified the ground beneath his feet, making it flat, and said, "Take out the helicopter."
Lu Weiyi didn't understand what he meant, but without hesitation, he immediately took out the helicopter.
The mutant peacock had never seen this thing before, so it went forward and pecked at it curiously, causing the cabin door to suddenly become dented.
Lu Weiyi looked over with dead fish eyes, and the mutant peacock immediately turned around as if it was standing guard for them, and pecked at a mutant pheasant ferociously.
Wu Yue ignored the little movements between the man and the bird. He got into the cockpit, adjusted a few keys, and his expression looked a little better. He leaned over and said to Lu Weiyi, "I'll give it a try in the air. You try to guard me against the mutant birds at high altitudes."
"I'll go with you," Lu Weiyi said as he was about to open the cabin door, but was stopped by Wu Yue. He said slowly with a serious look on his face, "You are down there, be ready to rescue at any time."
Lu Weiyi stared at him for a long time, nodded and let go of his hand. At the same time, a very thin green branch was wrapped around Wu Yue, "I will ensure your safety."
Wu Yue smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
As Lu Weiyi and the mutant peacock made way, the propeller slowly accelerated. When the whirlwind reached its maximum, the mutant creatures could not get close at all. As the helicopter took off, Lu Weiyi's heart also rose, and he stared at the rising plane without blinking.
The helicopter seemed to be becoming more and more stable, but when it rose to a height of several dozen meters, the propeller suddenly stopped, as if it was stuck, and descended at a very fast speed, and the entire aircraft suddenly fell straight to the ground.
The mutant peacock, which was originally looking around curiously, was frightened by this scene and the whole bird flew up, vividly interpreting the so-called chaos. It turned around and wanted to escape, but at the last moment, its head turned 180 degrees, picked up Lu Weiyi with its mouth, and rushed out with its wings flapping.
"Wait... wait a minute——" Lu Weiyi sent Wu Yue into the space the moment the plane crashed. While Peacock took him away, he also took the crashed plane in.
But even so, it couldn't stop the peacock from escaping. By the time it realized there was no sound of a crash, the whole bird had already flown hundreds of meters away.
Lu Weiyi, who was being held in the mouth, was shaken so hard that he felt dizzy and vomited as soon as he landed on the ground. When Wu Yue came out of the space, he saw their usually calm Lu Weiyi vomiting and feeling dizzy.
The mutant peacock, not understanding what was happening, was still curiously looking for the helicopter, and at the same time pushing and rubbing Wu Yue from time to time, trying to figure out what was going on.
Considering that it was a bird, Tao, and that it remembered to take him with it when escaping, Lu Weiyi did not bother with it, but instead asked Wu Yue what he had discovered.
Speaking of this, Wu Yue's face turned ugly, and he took a deep breath, "It seems that there is something wrong with the magnetic field outside."
