So Lu Yuan pulled a car out of the dimensional space, and the two of them drove on.
After getting a car, the two were able to drive much faster than before.
However, Lu Yuan would stop the car about every half hour, and the two of them would look around to see if they could find a water source. But to their great dismay, there was no trace of water at all. It was as if all the water in the ground had dried up, and there was no sign of rain.
"Brother, do you think it's possible that because there was sunlight here before, it stopped snowing?"
Lu Yuan scratched his head slightly: "Maybe, but this is too weird. The area covered by clouds shouldn't be determined by the amount of sunlight, right?"
"It's hard to say. Why don't we walk a little further? Maybe we can find a river or a forest!"
Lu Yuan nodded, and the two of them drove the car forward again.
After driving for nearly two hours, Lu Yuan finally seemed to hear some noise, so he quickly said to Zhou Tong, "Old Zhou, stop the car, I heard something!"
Without saying a word, Zhou Tong slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop. Lu Yuan was already prepared and, holding onto the safety handrail, avoided being bumped or injured.
The car stopped, and Zhou Tong immediately turned the key off. Then the two of them quietly sat in the car, carefully listening to the sounds outside.
Splash, splash, it seems that the sound of flowing water comes from a far away place.
Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong exchanged a glance, and then their faces lit up with joy.
"That's the sound of water, can you hear it?"
Zhou Tong was also full of excitement: "That's right, it seems that what the high priest and the others said before was true. This place is indeed suitable for human habitation."
This place is over a hundred kilometers from the coastline. If there really is a water source, it means that there are likely other organisms living here!
After pinpointing the direction of the sound of the water source, the two drove their vehicle towards it again.
This time the car didn't go very far; after only about ten minutes, it came to a cliff.
Meanwhile, gushing waterfalls flow continuously down the cliff face.
Upon seeing the waterfall, both Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong couldn't help but smile.
"Great! We've finally found the waterfall! If we follow the waterfall, we might find trees, or even some other creatures!"
The two quickly got out of the car and ran towards the waterfall, where they saw a bottomless chasm below.
The rift valley is not very long, extending all the way down to the bottom of the rocks, but it is unknown where it extends to. The water flowing down from the waterfall flows into this rift valley.
"What a waste of so much water! Let's go check if the water is clean. If it is clean, then it means that there should be a place where humans can live nearby!"
Lu Yuan nodded. He was ready to bring the high priest and the others out, since only they could determine whether this place was suitable for survival.
So the two of them collected some water from the waterfall and, after testing it, found that although the water contained a lot of silt, it was exceptionally clear, although the radiation level detected was slightly high.
"The radiation levels in this water are already above the standard. It seems there must be some kind of nuclear power plant nearby, right?"
After looking at the readings on the testing instrument, Zhou Tong pondered for a moment: "Perhaps it's some radiation from outer space. We heard about radiation causing biological mutations when we were in Mexico! Could there be strong radiation here too?"
Neither of them were experts in this field, so their guesses were just wild speculations.
Therefore, Lu Yuan decided to take the water into the dimensional space and hand it over to professionals for analysis, rather than relying on their random guesses.
After returning to the dimensional space, Lu Yuan handed the water to Chen Yan, who showed a hint of excitement on her face after receiving it.
"Great! We've found water, which means there must be vegetation nearby. Keep following the river; you might just find it!"
“That’s right, that’s what we think too. Our next step is to follow this river and see if we can find a suitable place to live!”
After a brief chat with Chen Yan, Lu Yuan found the High Priest and explained the situation. The High Priest's face lit up with surprise after hearing the explanation.
"Thank God, you've finally arrived in the Amazon rainforest. Let's go out with you!"
Seeing the eager expressions on the faces of the high priest and the others, Lu Yuan understood that although the living conditions here were very good, they were clearly still not used to the electrification and high-rise buildings.
They prefer a lifestyle that is close to nature. After all, the civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years is deeply ingrained in their bones, and it would be almost impossible for them to adapt without several generations.
Lu Yuan nodded, raised his hand, and led the High Priest and several other important members out of the dimensional space. As for the others, Lu Yuan left them in the dimensional space.
Because traveling with a large group would slow them down, while a few people wouldn't be a significant obstacle. Their off-road vehicle can seat five people, and the cargo bed can hold another four or five, so it's more than enough to take them along.
