Another day has passed, and Lu Yuan and his team are still observing.
Meanwhile, the military personnel have been basically deployed, and all the vehicles in the vicinity have been arranged.
The traps that needed to be dug have been basically dug, and a faint sound rang out all day as night fell.
Lu Yuan was worried about them. What if that giant lizard came over and destroyed their base, killing everyone?
Fortunately, the lizard didn't seem to be very interested in this place, just like humans wouldn't bother with one or two small flies.
Lu Yuan felt a deep sense of helplessness and sorrow, as if the animal kingdom was playing a joke on humans.
Finally, it was mid-afternoon. As the sun began to set, dozens of excavators roared back from the military base.
When Lu Yuan saw these excavators, he knew that the military had gone all out this time.
Otherwise, the cost of gas alone today would be enough to make them suffer a lot.
You have to understand that gasoline is something that's becoming increasingly scarce, and there's currently no substitute for it.
Although small nuclear power plants have been built, their construction costs are so high that one plant has already forced the people of the North to live on meager resources. Where would they find the funds to build another one?
Zhou Tong walked in from outside, a hint of excitement on his face: "I found out, I found out! We're planning to make our move tonight. The lizard's eyesight isn't very good at night, so they plan to lure it away tonight. I hope they succeed."
Lu Yuan glanced in the distance, his eyes filled with worry: "Let's keep our distance from them for a while. Don't get too close. If they drive the lizard crazy and it gets on our end, we'll be in trouble!"
Then, after thinking of something else, Lu Yuan continued, "By the way, how's the problem with the exit from the underground city going? Have you found it yet?"
Zhou Tong shook his head. At this moment, Han Wen, who was sitting next to him, holding his computer, suddenly looked up and said, "We've detected some signals. The people in the south have hidden their underground cities very deep. They may need to be excavated."
Moreover, their exit is located inside the lizard's lair, which is their biggest problem; only by killing the lizards can they possibly escape!
Lu Yuan finally understood why people from the South didn't want to leave.
It turned out that their exit had been blocked by this lizard monster. Developing another passage would not only be expensive, but also extremely difficult.
If they dig into the lizard's burrow again, it will bring them utter destruction.
As the days went by, their food supplies were almost exhausted.
Therefore, they can only try every means to get anything they can get their hands on.
After cursing under his breath, Lu Yuan could only hope that the military would be able to capture the lizard today.
Otherwise, their tasks might increase exponentially, since an enraged lizard is not so easy to kill.
And so, after the sun set, the bright moon in the sky became even brighter, like a second sun spreading silver light across the entire earth, and the hunt for the lizards finally officially began.
From a great distance, Lu Yuan could hear a rumbling sound coming from the ground in the distance.
This is the sound of tanks dispatched by the military, along with various armored vehicles and off-road vehicles, operating together.
Their goal was to inflict pain on the lizard, lure it into their trap, and buy them a few seconds to calibrate their ballistic missiles and eliminate it.
Lu Yuan felt a surge of emotion. They hadn't expected to use such missiles to deal with a monster. If they wanted to get food in the future, they would have to find more weapons.
The insect incident had given Lu Yuan a major wake-up call. He even suspected that these insects were not intended for humans, but for these mutated monsters.
After all, such a huge number of insects is not something humans can consume, so it seems to be related to these mutated beasts.
Only a mutated beast of such enormous size could consume so many insects.
These insects have increased in size by dozens, even hundreds of times compared to before. It's clear that everything is getting bigger, except for humans.
Looking at the grassy area in the distance, which resembled a forest, Lu Yuan felt a surge of frustration.
If the grass turns into a forest, then what will the forest become?
It was a world he couldn't even imagine, where the Earth had expanded five times its size. He even felt that the military had underestimated it.
It's possible for it to expand a hundredfold; if that's the case, then one meter before would become one hundred meters now.
Previously, the distance between one city and another was 1,000 kilometers. Now, multiplying that by 100, it becomes 100,000 kilometers.
What does 100,000 kilometers mean? That's basically the distance of circling the Earth once.
Within China's borders, the territory has expanded so vastly in an instant. If the people of that island nation were still alive, they would surely be overjoyed.
Their original habitat was very small, and the population was so large. If it suddenly expanded a hundredfold, their houses, which were originally only a few square meters, would suddenly become hundreds of square meters. They would be very happy.
