The day after Christmas, Zhou Tong led his team to excavate about 500 meters away from where the cow leg bone had been discovered.
However, when everyone dug to the bottom, they suddenly dug up something hard. When they broke through the soil and ice above, they discovered that it was actually a bull's horn.
For ordinary people, cow horns are basically useless. The most important use of these cow horns is to make them into decorations or handicrafts.
Ordinary families would hardly preserve such a complete cow horn.
Looking at that enormous bull horn, a glint of light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.
Have you searched for nearby plots of land?
"I have already had people start digging within a 500-meter radius, and we should have results soon."
A hint of joy appeared on Zhou Tong's face; now they had found the right direction for their only problem.
Once the correct direction was found, Lu Yuan decided to send them all into the dimensional space and then fly the plane straight towards the Amazon rainforest.
After all, we already know the exact location, and the Amazon rainforest is so vast that we can get results quickly if we search in this direction.
So Lu Yuan notified more people to start digging nearby. After another half day, the excavation work finally made a major breakthrough, and the carcasses of cattle were dug out of the ground.
Looking at the pile of cow bones on the ground, Lu Yuan felt a surge of excitement, but then he felt as if there was still something wrong.
"Old Zhou, don't you find it strange? The cow bones were all found here, but after such a long period of apocalypse, why are these cows still able to live well? After the apocalypse came, all kinds of resources were extremely scarce, especially food and water. Didn't anyone in the United States slaughter these cows first and then take them away?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhou Tong's face immediately showed a hint of astonishment: "Huh, what you said seems to make a lot of sense. According to what you said, it's very likely that this place isn't that cattle farm!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand slightly, then pinched his chin and began to ponder deeply. He then quickly found the middle-aged man.
"Mr. Lu, is this the cattle farm?"
Lu Yuan waved his hand slightly: "We only found some cow bones here, and quite a lot of them. Was there a place in that village where cows were slaughtered?"
"You mean a place that specializes in slaughtering cattle? I'm afraid there isn't one, because in the United States, people who raise cattle usually handle the entire supply chain, from slaughtering and packaging to refrigeration and transportation, and they generally don't outsource it to factories."
Especially for people in villages like theirs, who don't raise many cattle, they generally don't choose to go to outside slaughterhouses, since doing so would likely increase their costs!
"So you mean this cattle farm has its own slaughterhouse?"
The other person nodded slightly: "That's right, that should be it!"
Zhou Tong stood to the side, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and looked at Lu Yuan: "So now we can confirm that this place is the village, and if that's the case, then we can determine the direction of the Amazon, right?"
Lu Yuan stroked his chin and began to ponder: "No, this time if we leave, it might take a long time, so we can't be careless. We must make sure this place is the village, and we have to get the direction right. If we get the direction wrong, we'll waste even more time!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan turned to look at the middle-aged man: "Do you know if there are any special buildings in their village?"
The other person pondered for a moment, and after a long while, said vaguely, "If there's any other special building, it would be the church!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong immediately slapped his thigh: "That's right, the people here in the United States are mostly Catholic, and almost every village has a church! If we find three locations, then we can determine the location and orientation of the entire area!"
"That's right, so now do you know roughly how far the church is from the cattle farm?"
The middle-aged man stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before finally speaking: "I'm not a Catholic, but I have participated in their events before. I was just passing by. I think I walked there, which took about half an hour."
Because I was going to the supermarket to buy some things, I came across the only supermarket in the village along the way—no, it shouldn't be called a supermarket, it should be called a small shop. That small shop was not far from the church, and it was in that small shop that I saw those opportunities!
"Great! Now, let's pinpoint the location of the church or the convenience store. Report it immediately if you find it. The store might be completely emptied, but if we find any shelves or related items, there's still a chance. There's been a major earthquake here too; let's see if we can dig anything of value out of the rubble!"
A new excavation task began. Lu Yuan and the others felt like groundhogs digging holes everywhere. The once smooth snow surface was now full of potholes and pits, making it impossible for vehicles to pass.
One day, two days, three days passed, and there was still no discovery at the shop or the church. According to what the middle-aged man had said, it would take about half an hour to walk from the village's cattle farm to the shop.
