Chapter 250 Arriving at Cangyuan Mountains
The little friend was full of energy. He took out a big net and set up a tight net in this area, waiting for the food to fall into the trap.
The buzzing sound was getting closer and closer. Maorongrong and the other pups were all in the villa, looking out through the glass windows. The big butts, fat butts, and furry butts all stuck together were very funny.
The friends each took a position, ready to fight.
When the huge searchlight was turned on, one could see locusts bigger than fists swarming together, getting closer and closer. The buzzing sound was even more irritating to the ears, and goose bumps appeared all over the body.
"Ready." Lan Shiruo's eyes lit up, and her friend's eyes were like torches. "Release."
Bang, bang! The men fired their net cannons, and a semicircular net of fine mesh descended from top to bottom, filling a full net bag. Quickly, the men tightened the rope at the opening, sealing it shut. Each net bag weighed at least four or five hundred kilograms, and with six men each carrying a bag, the harvest was impressive. Lan Shiruo was in charge of collecting the catch from behind.
The girls worked together to pull up a big net and ran towards the locusts in the opposite direction. With Miaomiao, a strongman, they could drag a pile of locusts as big as a mountain.
The other girls were in a terrible situation and almost got themselves into trouble. "Alright, alright, the net is about to break. Let's change it."
Miaomiao let go with regret, and the five of them worked together to close the opening and replace the net with a new one.
Lan Shiruo hurried over to put it into the space, so she was actually a mobile warehouse?
She is clearly in the center of the group, so why is she doing logistics work?
Before she could complain more, the men each made another move.
The girls and guys worked extremely hard all night, laughing and exclaiming one after another, not worrying at all about any mutant creatures approaching.
Although locusts are not powerful individually, they are still very deterrent when they act in large groups. Any intelligent mutant would not dare to come and mess with them. Although they are intelligent, they do not know how to use tools like humans. They come here just to deliver food. It is their instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
The girls and boys were happy, which made the kids and animals hiding in the villa very nervous. They also wanted to go and play, but they were too small and had little say, so they could only watch.
As the day dawned, the large team, who had been tired all night, collected a million kilograms of locusts and collapsed on the ground laughing. They were hit by the locusts and had bruises on their faces, but it didn't affect their mood at all. They were all kind and good people, and being hit by their own rations was worthy of forgiveness.
The fleeing locust humans are so scary.
After a night of no rest and with not many people coming here, the large team decided to rest for half a day before continuing on their journey.
When the kids and the animals couldn't hold on any longer in the second half of the night, they all huddled together in the living room and fell asleep, one on top of the other, and snoring softly.
The girls and the boys did not wake them up, and went into their rooms to rest, with vines guarding the outside.
Lan Shiruo and Ao Chengyi entered the space and put the locusts into the processing plant, processed them into semi-finished products, and vacuum-packed them. They could eat them however they wanted in the future.
The processing line was made fully automatic, using coal as fuel, and then the two of them went to rest.
After a nap until noon, the kids and animals found food in the kitchen.
When the girls and guys woke up, they were so hungry that they cooked a big pot of stew and gave each of them a large bowl, eating until their stomachs were full.
Then he packed up and left.
The landforms of Cangzhou are of two extremes: one is the towering and endless mountain ranges, and the other is the vast plains.
The plains are where people and cities of Cangzhou gather, but their area is at least three times smaller than that of the mountains. The mountains are all deep mountains with few people, poisonous fog and miasma, and countless kinds of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects.
Those who live in seclusion in such deep mountains are either gods or ghosts. I really don’t know what kind of existence the Lan family and the Ao family are that can survive here for countless generations.
After walking in Cangzhou for three days, there are no more plains. All you can see are huge mountains that stretch as far as the eye can see. The strange thing is that these mountains are not like other places where there is only bare sandy loess. Here, all you can see is deep green and lush, as if acid rain, severe cold and scorching heat have not been able to cause any harm to it. It is a world of its own and prosperous.
The road became increasingly rugged and narrow. The team switched from large off-road vehicles to small off-road vehicles, then to motorcycles, and finally to walking. When there was no way out, they took out the helicopter.
I got three planes, and all the men knew how to drive them, but there were differences in how well they drove them.
"There are many birds of prey in the deep mountains, so everyone be careful. Put on your parachutes. If you get separated in the middle of the journey, gather towards the center. Use flares to report your location or request support. Be careful." Ao Chengyi reminded them again in a cold voice.
The girls and guys nodded to show that they understood, and each of them put their contracted partners in their arms. The general was too big and could not fly, so Lan Shiruo put it into the space.
In this regard, is it wrong for Master Ao to cry and act mighty and domineering?
The four children were unwilling to part with Lebao, so Lan Shiruo asked them to board their helicopters. Feng Tao's helicopter carried He Lian, Miaomiao, Ding Jiajia, Zhang Yun, and Guo Zi. Lu Chaoyang flew another helicopter, taking Yunshui Yao, Duan Jianghe, and Han Qingquan with him.
Deep in the mountains, we didn't know if any of the equipment would work, so we all decided to use the most primitive way of communicating. After discussing everything, we set off into the mountains.
After taking off, I was shocked when I looked down at the entire Cangyuan Mountains. What came into view was an endless deep green ocean, filled with mist and shadows, like a dream, like a fairyland, which made it more mysterious and more dangerous.
The goshawk liked places like this and was unwilling to stay in the helicopter. Ao Chengyi did not stop it and let it fly between heaven and earth.
Ao Chengyi still remembered the tribal land of Lan and Ao. He had brought the men back after the tribe was exterminated. Although it was dangerous at that time, it felt much better than now. At least the birds of prey and beasts had not evolved, and guns and ammunition could knock them down. They also had no intelligence and would not play mind games with humans, so they were much easier to deal with.
After the initial shock, the team became alert because it was too quiet here.
Apart from the humming sound of the helicopter, there was not even a sound of birds singing. It was abnormal for such a large mountain range.
"Everyone be careful and beware of sneak attacks from birds of prey." Ao Chengyi reminded through the wireless headset.
"clear."
"clear."
The little friend stopped looking at the scenery and kept his eyes on the window.
But life is full of surprises, and they only noticed external troubles but not internal ones.
The three helicopters suddenly and simultaneously shut down.
"What's going on?"
"Brother, how are you guys doing?"
"Report the situation."
There were three helicopters, and three experienced pilots were all talking into their headsets, but it was obvious that no one could hear anyone else.
The helicopter's spiral seemed to be on its last legs, spinning slower and slower until it came to a complete stop.
The helicopter was floating in the air, and the people on it were flying with it. It was such a cool feeling.
Lan Shiruo took the time to look at the situation on the other two planes, which was similar to theirs.
"Going to skydive."
Ao Chengyi nodded, tied the boys together, and put two parachutes on their backs. "After you jump, just pull these two ropes. It doesn't matter if you can't control them. Protect your hands, feet, and face, and curl yourself up as much as possible. Do you understand?"
The kids had never done anything so exciting before, their hearts were pounding, they were scared, but they also wanted to try it very much.
Ao Chengyi did not comfort them, but just helped them put on the parachutes.
