Yan Xinian and the others did not persuade them too much.
Everyone has his own path, and they were unwilling to take responsibility for others, so they naturally stopped at the point of persuasion.
They had already sold all the things that were visible, and it was not convenient to continue selling.
The next day, they did not go out hunting, but rested at Xiong Antian's house.
After a good sleep, the four of them got up very late the next day.
At noon, Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu went out for a while, wandering around nearby and inquiring about the situation nearby.
The people here did not have any ill will towards them, but they did not have many good impressions of them.
It was probably the usual attitude towards strangers, with a mixture of vigilance and curiosity.
Yan Xinian was good-looking, and he often had a smile on his face, which made it very easy for him to win people's favor.
In one afternoon, they found out a lot of information.
In contrast, Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi, who were wandering around on the other side, were more inclined to simply wander around.
The two groups came back to talk at night and came to a lot of interesting conclusions - for example, there were no infants outside the Black Gold Base.
Xia Lunong sat at the small table and sighed, "There are at least a thousand people around here, all young men and women. Despite this, there is still no child. This is too terrible."
Xia Huo said, "The environment is too tense. Adults can't even support themselves, so naturally they don't have the desire to raise children." Xia
Lunong thought about it and retorted, "Reproduction is like other desires. No matter what the situation is, there should be people who want to reproduce. Moreover, it is difficult to take contraceptive measures now. It is not normal for no baby to be born."
Their base did not have a much better life until the summer and autumn when the ground produced more things.
But since the beginning of spring, newborns have been born one after another in their base. Although the number is not large, it is not to the point that there are no babies.
Xia Lunong glanced at the window, put her elbows on the table, and lowered her voice, "I wonder if human fertility has been affected."
Unlike their base, the people here are used to using a half-beast form.
After all, this form is not pure human, and I don't know if it will hinder fertility.
Xia Huoqu tapped the table with his fingers and said, "It's useless to think too much. At most, we will inform other bases of the conclusion and wait for the results of the investigation of other bases."
Xia Lunong sighed, "That's right."
Yan Xinian took back the notebook, "Let's focus on the present, seize the time to rest well, and go to the Black Bear base again in the next two days to see if we can get back the supplies left by the previous people."
They exchanged supplies with people nearby once.
People nearby were not willing to exchange more valuable things with them.
In other words, people are not willing to exchange items with higher value.
This is especially true in the Black Gold Base.
Unless they pay a huge price for those valuable technological products, ordinary people are not willing to exchange them.
Xia Lunong raised her hand, "My superpowers have almost recovered. Tomorrow morning we can go out and find a place for me to plant space bamboo again."
Bear meat contains a lot of energy. After Xia Lunong ate it, the recovery process of superpowers was significantly accelerated.
It took four or five days to completely recover his superpowers, but he almost recovered in two or three days.
The space bamboo tubes are very useful.
It is a great thing that he can give birth to another batch of space bamboo tubes.
Yan Xinian looked at him, "Are you sure you're feeling well?"
Xia Lunong nodded, "No problem. No big problem, you can use your superpowers."
Yan Xinian packed his things, "Okay. Have a good rest tonight. We'll drive out early tomorrow morning, plant bamboo first, then go to the lower reaches of the river, fish on the edge of the bear's territory, and when your superpowers recover a little, we'll go to the bear's territory."
Kong Zhi said, "We need to bring more weapons this time."
Yan Xinian nodded, "We'll check again later. The bears are too big, so we'll mainly use sneak attacks this time, and we'll use thermal weapons if we can." After
the few people finished chatting, they took out the map to check it again, said good night to each other, and prepared to rest.
Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian opened the door and went back to their room.
Xia Lunong walked to the door to see them off.
After the door was closed, Xia Lunong turned around and leaned against Kong Zhi, kissed him, and yawned, "Let's go to bed soon."
He blinked his eyes, tears welled up in his eyes, which looked more moist, and clearly reflected Kong Zhi's shadow.
The two looked at each other.
Kong Zhi suddenly clamped Xia Lunong's chin and kissed her deeply.
After the kiss.
Xia Lunong's breathing was a little rapid.
His heart itched, he looked at the wall clock hanging in the room, took a few deep breaths, calmed his breathing, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I still have to work tomorrow."
Kong Zhi kissed him on the ear and whispered: "You can do it simply."
Doing it simply is not simple.
The two of them tossed around until very late that day.
When Xia Lunong woke up the next day, she still felt a little weak and empty.
Kong Zhi woke up earlier than him. He went to the bathroom to wash up, and Kong Zhi just came in with a cup of honey and honeysuckle tea.
Xia Lunong drank it with a "tump tump tump", lay down on the bed, rolled on the ground, and rolled himself into the quilt, rolling himself into a caterpillar, "I'm still so sleepy."
Kong Zhi knelt on one knee on the bed, kissed him, and took out his coat and trousers, "Let's sleep in the car later."
Their breakfast was still fried bear meat and fried fish.
Mai Dong and the others were sitting at the next table. When they saw them coming down, their eyes were quite complicated.
Xia Lunong drank the soy milk specially provided by Xiong Antian and smiled at him.
Mai Dong's eyes swept across his face, and his eyes softened unconsciously.
It didn't snow today, and the sun came out.
It was even colder outside. The white sun was like a refrigerator light, and the wind blew in their faces, as if trying to flatten the tips of their noses.
Xia Lunong covered her nose with her hand and pulled up the mask. After a while, she felt that the mask was full of condensed water vapor.
Feeling uncomfortable, he pulled down his mask and simply warmed his nose with his palms.
The car was outside.
After getting in the car, several people took off their masks and drove outside.
Their trip was quite smooth.
The truck quickly drove out of the gathering area and arrived at the river.
Several people found a place to shovel away the snow, exposing the land underneath, and rebuilt a fire to melt the frozen soil.
Xia Lunong specially loosened the soil, mixed the fermented fertilizer he had exchanged into the soil, then put in bamboo pieces, poured warm water, and then used supernatural powers to promote the growth of bamboo.
The temperature, moisture, fertility, etc. of the soil will affect the growth of bamboo.
After many experiments, Xia Lunong has sufficient experience.
He skillfully controls the speed of supernatural power output and slowly expands the space inside the bamboo.
He was now very meticulous in his work, and it took him from morning to noon to get a whole bamboo to give birth.
Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian went fishing and observed the surrounding environment.
Kong Zhi stood guard and made lunch nearby .
He fried bear meat and brewed honey and honeysuckle tea.
Xia Lunong finally finished stimulating the bamboo to give birth. He was so tired that his face turned pale, his eyelids half drooped, and he drank tea while eating meat.
While eating, his nostrils flared, he sniffed the air, looked up in a certain direction, and suddenly said, "I seem to smell an unusual fishy smell."
Kong Zhi paused the spatula he was frying the meat with and asked, "Did my brothers come back from fishing?"
"It doesn't seem so." Xia Lunong said, "It seems to be - a bear?"
Xia Lunong frowned slightly, holding the plate and said, "I don't know if I really smelled it or if it was my illusion."
Kong Zhi took the pot off the simple stove and placed it on the snow. He scooped the bear meat out and placed it on Xia Lunong's plate, "You eat first, I'll fly up and take a look."
Kong Zhi now took off his clothes quickly and calmly. After a few seconds, a pile of neatly stacked clothes was placed next to Xia Lunong.
A giant golden eagle soared into the sky, spreading its huge wings.
Xia Lunong chewed the bear meat in the plate and stuffed it into his stomach. After eating, he gulped down a cup of honeysuckle tea, put the pot back on the simple stove, and started frying the meat.
When he fried the second piece, Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu came back.
Xia Huoqu asked, "What did you find? How did Kong Zhi fly to the sky?"
"I suspect a bear is quietly approaching us." Xia Lunong took a plate and scooped out the bear meat from the pot, gave each of them a plate, and said calmly, "I don't know if it's an illusion, Kong Zhi, fly up first to take a look." Kong
Zhi circled in the sky, quickly folded his wings and landed.
As soon as he changed back to human form, he said, "Five bears are approaching quietly. I don't know if they smelled us or what. We have to pack up and retreat immediately." The
bears were not running slowly.
It was difficult for them to get rid of the bears even with the truck.
Yan Xinian asked, "How far are the bears from us?"
"About four or five kilometers," Kong Zhi said, "They are moving very fast."
At this speed and distance, the few people didn't need to say anything. They immediately packed their things, stuffed them into the truck, and drove away quickly.
A few minutes later, they heard the roar of bears coming from afar.
At this time, they had already left the bears' territory, and the bears did not continue to chase them.
Kong Zhi flew into the sky and patrolled around. He found that five bears were at the edge of their territory, and they pulled up the fishing nets they had put down and started to catch the fish on them to eat.
Kong Zhi came back and told them the situation, and they all fell into deep thought.
Xia Lunong held a cup of honeysuckle tea to warm her hands, frowned and said, "I guess the bears have other sources of information, otherwise they shouldn't have discovered us so quickly."
Xia Huo said, "Maybe their sense of smell or hearing has evolved. Our scent is still very obvious to them."
Yan Xinian said, "No matter what channel they got the information from, it is not conducive to the implementation of our sneak attack plan."
Things are quite troublesome.
Yan Xinian knocked on his knees.
Xia Lunong looked at him, then at his brother, and looked at Kong Zhi, and asked tentatively, "Why don't we just forget it? We are not short of supplies."
As soon as he said this, the three people objected unanimously.
Kong Zhi said calmly, "We do have no shortage of bear meat, but among the spoils they collected, there are many products unique to the Black Gold Base. Instead of sending the prey to the Black Gold Base in exchange for supplies, it is more convenient to take it directly from the bears."
Yan Xinian nodded, "Using the spoils in the bears' territory is precisely the best way for us to glimpse the development level of the Black Gold Base."
Xia Lunong thought about it and had an idea, "How about drugging these bears?"
Yan Xinian shook his head, "The sense of smell and taste of these bears are sharp enough, and drugging may be useless."
"Then use hot weapons?" Xia Lunong said, "Good steel is used on the blade, and now it is the blade. We can use hot weapons in advance."
"Hot weapons are feasible, this is one way." Kong Zhi said, "I'm thinking now, can we take the second way--"
Kong Zhi turned his head and looked at the others, "Use food to hold these bears back, we can go directly to the bear's lair and take out the things inside. According to my observation, these bears have no cubs, so they shouldn't be too sensitive to go to their lair."
Xia Lunong was the first to agree, "It's feasible to lure the tiger away from the mountain, let's try to lure the tiger away from the mountain first."
Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian thought for a moment and agreed.
Several people made a plan, took a break, hid the truck, hid fish in several places where the bears might pass by, and collected bear feces to cover up their own smell.
Kong Zhi changed into a beast form and hovered in the sky to keep watch. Xia Lunong took a walkie-talkie and sat on Kong Zhi to keep in touch with each other.
Yan Xinian and Kong Zhi changed back to their beast forms, carrying space bamboo tubes and gasoline, and approached the bear den and other human remains from the side.
The bear feces covered their smell.
Kong Zhi and Xia Lunong were on guard in the sky, and Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian successfully avoided the bears and went around to one of the bear dens.
The first bear den was very smelly, and there were not many valuable things in it.
Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian changed back to human form, stuffed all the valuables into the space bamboo tube, and then went to the second bear den.
When they touched the fourth bear den, the first bear had already discovered that the den had been raided, and roared outside.
The roar came from afar, and each one was very urgent, more nervous than thunder.
Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian exchanged a look, and at the same time quickened their speed, searched the bear cave, and left quickly.
After running through several bear caves, the two were full of bear odor, which almost covered their smell.
No matter how sharp the bear's sense of smell was, it could not distinguish their smell.
Xia Lunong communicated with them on the walkie-talkie from high in the sky, "Are we going to the last destination now? Brother, the bears are coming back from a long distance, we have to hurry."
Xia Huoqu's calm voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Yes. Now we are going to the next location, how far are the bears from us?"
Xia Lunong looked down, "Six or seven kilometers? They seem to know we are here and are rushing over in a siege."
"Still far, let's go now, we still have time."
The last location is a battle site.
There is a convoy of human vehicles in the site. Xia Lunong looked down from high in the sky and saw a total of seven vehicles.
It can be seen that they must have encountered the bears head-on at that time, and finally fled.
Judging from the charred tree trunks nearby, hot weapons must have been used at the time.
People retreated in a hurry at the time, and there must be a lot of valuable things inside.
Xia Lunong and his friends had the highest expectations for this place.
Xia Lunong couldn't see clearly on Kong Zhi's back.
He asked his brother on the walkie-talkie, "Brother, did you see it? Are there many good things in it?"
Xia Huoqu was still in the form of a giant wolf. When he heard this, he roared softly.
His walkie-talkie was hanging under his neck, and the sound was recorded very clearly.
Xia Lunong knew from the roar that this was a positive response.
Xia Huoqu quickly changed back to human form, and while putting on his clothes, he replied calmly on the walkie-talkie, "It looks like there are a lot of them. I also saw backpacks left behind by people in the carriage. You continue to stand guard, and we will check immediately."
Xia Lunong looked around and after making sure that the bear was still far away, she replied nervously, "Okay. I'll remind you at any time if there is any situation. Brother, do you really not need me to come down to help?"
"No, your supernatural power has not fully recovered. It will be more beneficial for our actions to be up there."
