Unlike other pristine places, this area has much sparse vegetation, and... the tree trunks with their clean, neat cuts...
Could it be some other strange mutated beast?!
There are many different types and skills of mutated beasts, and I have seen quite a few along the way.
With a spirit of bold exploration and careful verification, Lu Manman piloted her mecha to land on the ground and surveyed the area. It was just like this in this one place.
The road ahead is long, but we keep moving forward.
Snap!
Lu Manman stepped into the air and lost her balance instantly. She almost fell, but luckily she reacted quickly and regained her footing.
Looking down, I saw that one of the mech's feet was stuck in a hole.
Standing in the cockpit, Lu Manman zoomed in on the crater and realized it was much larger than the foot of her mecha. Inside were many fragmented pieces of mecha mixed with branches and leaves, and there were also some upright pieces of mecha with their tips pointing upwards.
Presumably, those shattered mech fragments were originally standing upright with their sharp points pointing upwards. It's fortunate she was piloting a mech, otherwise she…
Okay! She won't be in any danger; she can avoid this. But why is there something like this here?
Lu Manman was much more cautious this time. After searching around, she found nothing alive, only a bunch of strange plants.
Seeing that it was getting dark, and adhering to the principle of better to miss out than to let go, Lu Manman had no choice but to take the plants and head back home for the time being.
There are already enough mutated beasts in the safe zone, so Lu Manman's main task now is to collect new plants.
Back in the safe zone, she ran into several grandfathers busy with something. After exchanging greetings, Lu Manman couldn't wait to plant the newly collected plants in Grandpa Qu Fu's newly established experimental field.
After inducing the growth, I was pleasantly surprised to find that many of these plants were ones that my culinary teacher had mentioned.
Yes, the man in the video who teaches cooking, they now call him a food teacher.
She simply didn't recognize him before, but this time he was born and all his familiar faces were revealed.
There have been similar cases before, where things brought back were found to be valuable plants after being stimulated to grow.
But most of the surprises were just scattered bits and pieces. Now that so many have appeared all at once, Lu Manman couldn't be happier.
Look, isn't this a peach? It's pink and looks delicious.
Lu Manman happily picked one and took a bite; it was incredibly sweet.
Ah, this is sugarcane! Lu Manman broke off a piece, and it was so sweet!
There's also a white fruit; isn't that the salt fruit they're using now? It can be used to make table salt.
There were also chestnuts and other fruits; in short, none of them were superfluous.
Lu Manman picked one of each and strode into the kitchen with an air of indifference.
It was lunchtime, and Shi Tu's dishes were almost ready. Everyone gathered around, greedily inhaling the aroma.
"Grandpas, come and see! I've brought lots of good things this time!"
As Lu Manman spoke, he waved his hand, and a pile of things appeared on the table next to the dining table, filling the entire table.
Everyone here has watched the video carefully and knows what these things are.
Upon seeing these, everyone's eyes lit up instantly.
Qu Fuzai observed carefully and exclaimed, "My God! So many new members have suddenly appeared in the edible plant bank of the safe zone! That's great, kid, you're amazing!"
Shi Tu also stopped cooking and looked at each dish one by one. "There are so many delicious dishes, and I can make a lot of new dishes."
Upon hearing this, everyone's mouths were already watering.
Lu Manman laughed heartily, "I'm having good luck today."
Zhongli asked curiously, "Child, where did you find this? We haven't seen any of these before. Oh, except for the salted fruit."
Lu Manman also had many questions about what had just happened. Thinking that her grandfathers were knowledgeable, she carefully explained how she had discovered these plants.
Especially when they talked about that pit.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Zhong Lizhong spoke first, "This pit must be the legendary trap."
Qi Chao slapped his thigh, "That's right!"
Lu Manman looked completely bewildered. "What trap?"
Qi Chao started talking to Lu Manman about traps. They had used various traps before, but they had eventually eliminated them.
One reason is that the gap in strength between them and the mutated beasts is widening, and traps are only suitable for hunting lone mutated beasts. The weaker mutated beasts usually come in groups, while the stronger ones mostly go it alone. However, they are thick-skinned and tough, so traps are not very harmful to them and may even provoke their retaliation.
Secondly, in order to avoid exposing the safe zone, they cannot set traps near the safe zone and can only go to a very far place. Even if they are lucky enough to have a mutated beast fall into the trap, the prey may be eaten by other mutated beasts that come with the smell of blood before they reach the trap to get the prey. Even if it is not eaten, it is very difficult to drag a mutated beast back from such a far place, and it is easy for it to be intercepted halfway.
There are other reasons as well, but in short, they won't need the trap for much longer.
Lu Manman suddenly realized, "The trap was set by someone, and not you, so there are other people there!!!"
Everyone nodded.
Lu Manman looked at the table full of food, "And not only did I destroy their trap, I also brought back their stockpiled food!"
Everyone nodded again.
"Ah!!! Look what I've done! I'll bring the person back right now!"
After Lu Manman finished speaking, she ran out like a gust of wind.
Fortunately, it's not too late yet, and with a mecha, that distance can be covered in one round trip. Lu Manman's strength puts the grandfathers at ease.
Chen Hua stroked his increasingly greasy beard and asked, "Who do you think that person is? Is he a native like us, or an outsider like a child?"
"I don't know," Feng Zhi shook his head. "I also don't know how many of them there are."
Gu Lin looked out the door. "Judging from the child's description, there are probably only one or two people there. I hope they are still alive."
It's really hard for people to survive in the wilderness; I hope the people there are lucky.
...
Despite the long journey, they hurried back to the location of the trap as quickly as possible.
Lu Manman never considered that there were other people on this planet, so she didn't connect these creatures with humans and just thought they were some strange mutated beasts.
If a life were to die because of her, she would truly be unable to eat or sleep properly.
Lu Manman didn't dare to delay and searched carefully inside and out again and again, but still couldn't find anyone. So Lu Manman simply put away the mecha, used her wood-type ability, and expanded the search area.
Lu Manman could now sense every movement in the forest. As she walked, she sensed things, and after an unknown amount of time, she finally sensed an unusual noise.
But...it's so far!
