Just then, Wang Mingming suddenly noticed traces of a campfire through his binoculars.
These campfires looked like they had been burning for a while, with wisps of smoke rising from them, suggesting that people had been there the previous night.
His heart tightened, and he quickly adjusted the magnification of the telescope, glancing in that direction again. This time, he was finally certain that those things were traces left by humans.
From the way the campfire was set up to the surrounding items, it was clear that someone had lived there. He felt a pang of anxiety and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Attention everyone below, be careful not to be discovered while you continue exploring. I just spotted a campfire in the distance, a sign that humans have lived there. I'm going to report to the clan right away. You all wait here!"
Upon hearing Wang Mingming's voice, the others all showed expressions of astonishment.
So everyone quickly grabbed their tools and sped off in the direction they had gone.
Then Wang Mingming rushed down the mountain and immediately went to Lu Yuan's laboratory.
Currently, Lu Yuan and his team are cultivating the first batch of artificially bred silkworms and other organisms in their laboratory.
This place has been turned into a small zoo, and the animals that can't be caught are all captured from the surrounding area.
Among them are pheasants and ducks, as well as various wild rabbits and goats, which are all common in daily life.
However, these animals are no longer suitable for them to hunt large birds of prey and ferocious beasts. Even newborn wild animals are very aggressive.
Some time ago, they originally planned to capture a wild boar, but they found that the wild boar was extremely aggressive and its tusks were very fierce, so they had to give up on the wild boar in the end.
These farmed animals are mostly herbivores that are easy to feed, and they are also relatively small. In contrast, carnivorous animals are generally fierce, difficult to tame, and have a large appetite.
They already had limited ways of obtaining food; apart from some stored chicken, they could hardly get anything else.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open violently.
Wang Mingming rushed into the laboratory, panting heavily.
Seeing him covered in sweat, everyone immediately sensed something was wrong.
"What happened? Are you worried about something?"
Wang Mingming, breathless, pointed behind her and said, "Someone's coming!"
The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
A serious expression flashed across Lu Yuan's eyes: "What? Someone's here? Are they coming for us?"
The other person shook their head slightly: "I don't know, because when I went up the mountain just now, I found a campfire over there. It looks like it was left last night, but I don't know why they didn't stay there or where they went!"
At this moment, Lu Yuan could no longer care about research or anything like that; his biggest concern now was whether their camp would be discovered.
Because if they discover this place, it could very well become a place where they constantly seek trouble.
Therefore, they need to be driven away as soon as possible, otherwise these people will cause them endless trouble once they discover their residence.
"Come on, come with me and take some men to patrol and see who they are. It would be best to drive them away!"
After that, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.
So one by one they went back to their respective rooms and brought their things over.
After packing their things, everyone sped off in the distance.
When the car arrived ahead, Lu Yuan's voice carried the team members' voices over the walkie-talkie.
"Report: Traces of human habitation have been discovered ten kilometers north of the camp. Judging from the situation, they must have just left recently. We are now observing the area!"
Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan quickly picked up the walkie-talkie: "Please report your location!"
The person on the other end of the walkie-talkie quickly reported their location, and Lu Yuan drove his car at high speed in their direction.
Upon arriving at their destination, Lu Yuan and the others got out of the car. After looking around to make sure they hadn't been discovered, he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly walked over to the team members and asked, "By the way, have you noticed anything?"
The team member pointed to his hand and picked up a bone with teeth marks on it, suggesting that the bone was left on the aircraft that had been hunted.
However, the fact that there were bits of meat still attached to the bone indicated that it had only been discarded recently.
"These are some bones we just found nearby. The team is now searching for footprints left behind. I suspect they went deeper into the forest because several footprints we found along the way are pointing towards our camp!"
Upon hearing the report, Lu Yuan's brows furrowed immediately: "Damn it, just what I feared has come to pass! We can't just sit here and wait to die. You guys come with me right now and check the situation! The rest of you, stay in the vicinity and be sure to send a message immediately if you encounter anyone!"
After hiding the car, Lu Yuan immediately led his men to scatter in all directions to search for traces of humans.
