Everyone sighed in dismay. After Lu Yuan briefly assigned the tasks, everyone got busy.
As darkness fell, Lu Yuan and his companions were already dressed entirely in black, making them virtually impossible to spot in the pitch-black environment.
In order to cross over as quickly as possible, the moment the sun just sets and darkness falls is their best chance to escape, because at this time, Lin Yuan's territory is at its weakest.
Moreover, Lu Yuan and his team have another advantage: they have a drone monitoring the surrounding area from the sky. If they discover any apes, they can detect them immediately.
After changing our clothes, everyone filed out. Night slowly fell, and we had already gone home to some of the nearby jungle. The sky darkened quickly, and it was completely dark within a few hundred meters.
At this moment, Lu Yuan glanced at the apes on the computer screen and noticed that these apes were wandering around like lost children.
"Great opportunity! Let's quicken our pace and get through here as fast as we can while we have this chance."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone immediately quickened their pace.
When they finally arrived near the valley entrance, they began to climb up the mountain. There was no checkpoint for them here, and the mountain was only a few hundred meters high.
For Lu Yuan and his team, a height of several hundred meters was something they could easily overcome without any pressure.
So everyone climbed over the hill one by one from the playground, while Lu Yuan walked in the middle of the path, occasionally checking the distance ahead and making sure no one fell behind, because in this jungle, getting caught was almost like facing a death sentence.
When everyone reached the top, Lu Yuan suddenly noticed that the people in front of him had stopped moving, so he quickly ran over to them.
"What's going on? Move along! Why are you stopping here?"
Zhou Tong, who was walking at the front, had a solemn expression on his face and pointed down the mountain.
"Damn it, there are lovers down here too, they're already waiting here."
Lu Yuan's expression turned slightly serious after hearing this.
He picked up his binoculars and looked in the remaining directions. Sure enough, there were no apes on the mountain, but the area below was already guarded by these apes.
"Damn it, are they crazy? There are so many apes here?"
After much effort, he finally found a place to escape, only to discover that apes were still guarding it. Lu Yuan was on the verge of a breakdown.
Exhausted, Zhou Tong turned to Lu Yuan and asked.
"So what do we do next? Go back or charge forward? There seem to be several hundred apes down there. If we try to escape at night, we should be able to, right?"
Then Lu Yuan shook his head. He turned around and looked at the women, the old people and the children behind him.
"No, many of our people may not have the same abilities as us. It would be too dangerous for us to rush out. Let's not take the risk and think of another way."
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the apes below seemed to sense the people on the mountain, and they all raised their heads and looked in their direction.
"Now I'm completely disheartened. Let's go back. We'll think about it carefully. In any case, we still have plenty of supplies, so we should be able to continue living here without any problems."
Having said that, Lu Yuanhuai, filled with helplessness, led everyone back into the cave.
After his first attempt failed, Lu Yuan now has to find another way.
The meeting began, and Lu Yuan's gaze swept over everyone. A helpless expression appeared on his face.
"The first method has failed. Now we must find another way to leave this place. As for going to the core area, we should give up any hope now."
After hearing his words, everyone sighed and stood there silently. They had no other choice. Now the apes regarded them as their lifelong enemies.
Even the military personnel are trapped here and have no way to escape. Fortunately, Lu Yuan and his group are relatively safe hiding in the cave. If they are exposed, they will be hunted down by the apes.
Just then, Chen Yan, who had been fiddling with the computer, suddenly looked up, turned to look at Hei Zi, and quietly pointed at the computer screen.
Hei Zi was puzzled, so he turned his head and glanced at the computer screen, then immediately showed a look of horror.
He turned his head and sang softly as Chen Yan asked, "Are you trying to rely on the bananas from before?"
Chen Yan nodded immediately. "Yes. This is the best method. After all, the intelligence of apes has improved to a very high level. They can even gradually form such large groups, which means that these apes can communicate with us normally. I think that as long as we negotiate with them properly, it should be possible."
But Lu Yuan glanced in his direction. "What are you talking about? If you have anything to say, you can bring it up in the meeting and we can discuss it together."
Hei Zi stood up and said, "Chen Yan means that we already made contact with those apes through bananas last time, right? He means that if we continue to cooperate with them, maybe they will let us go."
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, and he looked at Chen Yan again.
