We were initially planning to try and save her, but the baby was born unexpectedly. We had no choice but to keep the baby; after all, it's a little life, and we couldn't just abandon it!
Seeing this, Lu Yuan could only nod helplessly.
The child has already been born, how can we just abandon him?
Although it was an ape, and apes were considered animals in their eyes, it was still a small life and their ancestor. Out of instinct, Lu Yuan couldn't bear to do it.
"Alright, let's leave it for now and quickly dispose of the body. My god, the river has risen by almost half a meter again. It looks like our cave might be in danger. If this continues, we won't even have a place to stay!"
As Lu Yuan spoke, he cleaned the germs off the protective suit, and then began to remove the protective suit layer by layer.
After taking off their protective suits, the group hung them on the side of the cave. They were soaked in sweat, as if they had been washed.
After dealing with things here, Lu Yuan and the others were finally able to rest.
After having a quick bite to eat, everyone found a place to lie down and soon drifted off to sleep.
Seeing how exhausted the men were, the women didn't disturb them and started cleaning one by one.
The cave was originally clean, but because it was damp, the rocks inside weren't as slippery, so they had to use more absorbent soil to line the bottom, which made it very dirty inside.
As time went by, Lu Yuan brought out all sorts of food from the dimensional space and shared it with everyone.
The ape-like child now survives on milk, but the little guy has a decent appetite. Once his fur dries, he looks like a little fluffy ball, which is very cute.
Everyone likes him and has given him the nickname "Mao Qiuqiu" (meaning "Furry Ball").
Now, Maoqiuqiu likes to stare at these strange people with wide eyes.
What seemed very strange to him was why these humans had no body hair.
The rain outside finally subsided a bit, and Lu Yuan looked at the sky outside.
The clouds slowly dispersed, and the water level on the ground began to gradually drop.
At this moment, the water surface was less than half a meter away from the entrance of their cave.
Lu Yuan was initially very worried that their area would be flooded, but the rain gradually stopped.
Lu Yuan and the others cheered; it was time for them to leave.
After quickly packing his things, Lu Yuan waited for two more days, and finally the weather cleared up completely.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sun rose.
The world instantly became much cleaner; a super rainstorm washed the entire world clean.
As the water level gradually drops, the sun's rays evaporate the moisture.
Lu Yuan and his group prepared several rafts and slowly headed towards the outlet, which was the closest road to the mountains and forests.
When they slid the raft down to below the outlet, they were instantly shocked by what they saw inside.
The outlet was completely blocked by all sorts of corpses and discarded wood.
Even before we got close, the stench emanating from afar made us feel nauseous.
Various carrion birds flew around in the sky, vying to devour the corpses.
Fish that feed on carrion have somehow spread up from the valley, swimming up to the corpses and nibbling at the rotting flesh.
vomit!
Someone vomited first, and then everyone else started vomiting too.
Lu Yuan also felt a churning in his stomach.
The sight in the distance was too much to bear. Suppressing his urge to vomit, Lu Yuan quickly waved.
"Let's go back first and take another route!"
They could no longer proceed, so they had to turn back.
Just as Lu Yuan and his group were about to return, they suddenly heard a ripple coming from the water in the distance.
Then Lu Yuan saw a huge, coral-like dorsal fin hurtling toward them.
"Waiting to die makes you a carrion-eating fish!"
They had seen these carrion fish in the lake before.
This type of fish primarily feeds on carcasses and evolved from piranhas.
This fish has a very large head and does not like to live in groups. It has a large appetite, sharp teeth, and hard bones. It likes to attack any living animal, but it has a particular fondness for dead creatures.
This carrion fish has virtually no weaknesses because its head has no vital organs. Even if its head is smashed, the fish will still attack relentlessly.
They encountered these carrion-eating fish in the lake on their way there, but they managed to shake them off thanks to the higher speed of their boat.
But how could they possibly get rid of these carrion fish with just two wooden oars?
Lu Yuan cursed under his breath, then frantically led everyone to row together.
However, just as they had made a few strokes, they suddenly felt the carrion fish's dorsal fin disappear.
Lu Yuan shouted, "Be careful!" Then everyone felt something pop up twice underwater.
Splash!
With a deafening roar, the raft Lu Luyuan and his companions were on was instantly cleaved in two by a dorsal fin.
Everyone fell into the water, and Lu Yuan grabbed Qi Qi and Xiao Shan.
