After the dark disaster suddenly erupted and swallowed up a large area of land two days ago, the dark disaster seemed to have stopped and ceased to advance.
The darkness they couldn't explain was eventually named "Dark Disaster" by the players.
Although it seems to have stopped right now, the players have deduced that the dark calamity will continue to erupt after the current situation, given that the dinosaurs have been fleeing at full speed for the past few days.
Otherwise, the dinosaurs wouldn't be rushing around in such a hurry.
As they continued their journey, they encountered far fewer attacks from predators. As if by unanimous agreement, everyone kept their heads down and hurried on their way, occasionally catching rabbits, deer, or other small animals was already their limit.
"I found traces of player activity over there, but it looks like they've left."
That evening, they stopped to rest again, preparing water and hunting and gathering wild fruits as usual. That's how they discovered a simple treehouse in a few big trees in the nearby woods.
Although it was crudely built, and some people initially thought it was a nest built by a large bird, they became certain that someone had lived there when they saw the campfire and some simple tools.
There are several rooms, and judging from their appearance, at least a dozen players live together.
"Of course, as long as they're not blind, and all the other animals are moving around, there's no reason for them to stay put."
It's impossible for them not to be happy knowing that there are players living together in such a faraway place.
Although the people are no longer here, the house is clean and there are no signs of fighting or struggle, so it is clear that their departure was not due to being attacked or forced to flee.
However, they couldn't help but worry about how the players were doing now.
Life here seems fine, but what about when you leave and start your migration?
However, no matter how worried they were, they could not stop their migration.
Just as they had guessed, the black catastrophe erupted again, this time engulfing an even larger area, swallowing almost half of the world visible to the players.
"I wonder when this thing will stop causing so much trouble?"
After this outbreak, the dinosaurs' migration slowed down for the first time. That evening, they were eating and drinking much slower than before, and then they lay down to rest, as if they were no longer on the move. This gave Mingmei and the others a rare opportunity to rest on the ground.
Leaning against the elastic tail of an adult dinosaur, as if against a cushion, Mingmei gazed blankly at the dark blackness in the distance, so incongruous with the deep blue sky above them.
"I wonder where this will end?"
"Who knows? Surely the wild beasts will be able to escape to a safe place eventually?"
Several girls lay in a row, chatting quietly while looking over there.
Mingmei turned her head and looked at Mu Chen, who was standing not far away talking with Lu Gui and the others. She saw that the expressions on their faces were not relaxed, and they were obviously talking about serious matters.
However, Mingmei quietly withdrew her gaze and continued to lie there like a lazy bum.
Her mother is right.
Meetings are the root of all evil; they are extremely mentally taxing and require a lot of talking.
They might talk for ages and still not come to any conclusions.
...
"How long have you been talking?"
When Mingmei woke up during her shift change in the middle of the night, she turned her head and saw that Mu Chen was still awake, sitting next to her, one hand pulling on the animal skin blanket that she had fallen asleep on, as if he wanted to cover her up.
"It's just over."
Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh as he spoke: "No useful conclusions were drawn at all."
Mingmei: ...
That's true.
What did you talk about?
Sitting up, Mingmei touched the bamboo tube beside her, which was still filled with water, and held it to Mu Chen's lips.
"So, where is the destination of this wild beast migration? Should we follow them to their destination? You know, although wild beasts don't have the habit of living in large groups, the areas where they live are often surrounded by many different kinds of wild beasts."
"Are you worried that you won't die on the way, but will be attacked by other carnivorous wild beasts when you arrive at your destination?"
“Yes.” Mu Chen nodded. “Some people think that if we don’t reach our destination, we won’t know where this dark disaster will break out. We’re not as perceptive as other animals. What if we leave too early and end up being swallowed up by this disaster?”
Such concerns are indeed valid.
"The other group of people felt that if they really reached their destination, not all the wild beasts would be like the group we were with now."
When we leave, it will take time to find a new base, and we'll have to avoid other wild beasts along the way. If a conflict breaks out and bloodshed occurs, it will be very difficult for our group to escape, and we don't know how many of us can survive.
After listening for a while, Mingmei looked up at Mu Chen and asked, "And what about you? What do you think?"
"Me?" Mu Chen tilted his head and smiled, looking at Mingmei. "What about you? What do you say?"
"I'm just a salted fish, you're making things too difficult for me." Mingmei wasn't falling for it.
Actually, her idea was very simple.
First, follow the dinosaurs as they migrate, and observe along the way. If there are more and more dinosaurs along the way, they might consider "jumping off" halfway through.
If we don't see any particularly ferocious dinosaurs along the way, following them is not out of the question.
She was curious about Mu Chen's choice.
"I choose to go all the way down this path."
