But Ye Yuan did not have the slightest trace of decadence. He still looked upright and majestic, and there was no trace of regret in his eyes.
Even though he knew that the country had fallen, even though he knew that the army had established a base in the capital, even though he knew that everyone was living a relatively stable life in the base, and that Tang Nuo and the others were here this time because of those mutant birds, there was still no disappointment or regret on his face, not even the slightest dissatisfaction.
The army had forgotten about them and had not sent anyone to rescue them. Tang Nuo did not come here because of them. In his eyes, all of this seemed to be natural. They should stay here no matter how much hardship they had to endure.
After explaining the situation outside, Tang Ye added, "Captain Ye, the commander is negotiating with the higher-ups and trying to come up with a solution. He's also contacted me several times, wanting me to personally lead the rescue team into the mountains. However, the plan hasn't been implemented yet, and we accidentally stumbled into the mountains this time."
"I know. The higher-ups won't forget us and will definitely come back to rescue us." Ye Yuan said this, then pointed at a few people and cursed, "You guys are so bold! You ran into the mountains with just a few dozen people. Do you know how many mutant plants there are? It's a good thing you had those big... mutant birds with you. Otherwise, if you hadn't gotten here, you wouldn't even be able to enter the mountains."
In fact, before Tang Nuo and the others told him what happened outside, he and his comrades had no idea what had become of their dead comrades, why the mutated plants and birds outside had become different, and why they would attack people.
After hearing Ye Yuan's words, even Mu Cheng was shocked. "There are mutant birds following us, but we didn't feel them."
She is a psychic, so if there is real danger, she should know about it.
"You've had a few encounters with these birds, but do you understand them as well as we do?" Ye Yuan asked, then paused before continuing, "These creatures are very clever. As long as they have their eyes on prey, they will send birds to watch over them. Once their prey appears, they will rush over immediately."
"You haven't seen the birds that are watching you, have you? We have seen them and killed several. They are pure black and larger than normal birds. Don't be fooled by their size, they are very powerful and extremely fast."
"At first we didn't know what was going on. Every time we showed up, the mutant birds would appear after a while. Later, we found the birds in the woods from the surveillance footage. After several observations, we were able to determine which birds were watching us."
"So we have tunnels all over the ground. They not only lead to the door, but also to the back mountain. We rely on these tunnels to go out and find food."
After listening to Ye Yuan, several people fell silent. Before, they were still feeling lucky that they had not encountered any danger along the way. It turned out that it was not that they had not encountered any danger, but their lives were saved only because of the birds that were following them.
After a moment of silence, Su Ziyu said, "Will it be difficult to get out after we get rid of those birds?"
Mu Cheng smiled, shook her head, and said firmly, "The road is made by people, and we will always find a smooth path."
Ye Yuan's eyes fell on Mu Cheng, his eyes full of admiration. "Nuo, this girl is good, she has blood."
Tang Nuo didn't know how to be modest at all, and said with a smile, "Yes."
Ye Yuan smiled and pointed at Tang Nuo, "You! Don't you know how to be humble? What did I teach you before?"
Tang Nuo said, "You must be humble when you should be humble, but my Cheng'er is very outstanding. She is my pride. There is no need to be humble to her at any time."
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Cheng, it seems that you are really excellent."
Mu Cheng smiled and said, "Maybe it's because beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."
She was very grateful and happy to receive such praise from him, but of course she was still very humble.
