Chapter 200 Did You Hear That? (33)
Five trucks set out from the base in an orderly manner.
The medical vehicle that Lan Jin and his group were riding in was at the end of all the cars and passed smoothly all the way to the ice without any accidents.
Seeing Brother Zhang sitting in the front row so alert, Lan Jin asked curiously, "Brother Zhang, why are you so nervous?"
"In the past, when we passed this road, something would attack us. Strangely, today, nothing happened."
They were not surprised by Brother Zhang's strange behavior. Lao Gao said, "When we came up here, nothing attacked us. Do they attack everyone they see?"
But speaking of which, Lao Gao was puzzled. "There are so many mutant species in H City, why aren't there any in J City?"
Brother Zhang explained, "First, you need to understand how mutant species come about. They need an environment that allows them to survive. H City is surrounded by mountains, and there are so many strange creatures on the mountains. If they don't mutate, they can't survive. That's why there are so many mutant creatures around us."
But J City is a lakeside city, and it's generally flat. After the flood and extreme cold, there aren't any conditions for animals to survive, so it's normal that there aren't any mutated animals. Furthermore, even if the animals are mutated, they still have a sense of territory, so their range of activity is actually limited to this area, right below our mountain. In fact, those animals don't go there often."
In addition, the people outside the base actually have special abilities. To be honest, if everyone attacks together, it will not cause too much damage to them, but they can also have a good meal.
But this is only the case for now. Once the ice cracks and the flood recedes, the aquatic animals whose lives are temporarily preserved by the ice will definitely be more difficult to deal with than the animals in the mountains once they wake up.
This is not alarmist talk. Some people within the official circle have already received this information. So, leaving J City before the extreme cold ends may seem like a reckless move, but it is actually a wise one. He just can't say it openly.
"In J City, the degree of freezing should be much more severe than here," Brother Zhang asked again.
"Of course."
The four of them couldn't help but sigh, "These are two completely different worlds, aren't they?" They'd been to many places in J City, but there were almost no places where they could see land at this time. You could imagine the difference.
"So, it's actually better to have mountains, right?" Huang Jinghe asked involuntarily.
But that's not necessarily the case. Brother Zhang said, "It's different in the mountains. We have just as many worries."
Anyway, just living...it's too difficult.
…
The hill where they were going to weed was actually a hill behind the base.
This range seems very close, but in fact it is impossible to walk on the back, so they must first drive the car out of the base and then go around the back of the mountain on the ice.
This is because of the ice layer. It takes about two days to get there. If it were in the past, it would take an unknown amount of time to get there.
Apart from a few words at the beginning, Lan Jin could clearly feel that Brother Zhang and the driver were not only nervous but also very vigilant, which made it seem a bit inappropriate even if Lan Jin wanted to find a topic to chat.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth. At 3:30 in the afternoon, Brother Zhang picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "It's getting late. Let's set up camp at the front."
After that, five cars stopped one after another in a short while.
The four of them sitting in the back seat couldn't help but relax their backs and breathed a sigh of relief.
They couldn't really set up camp. Not only was it cold in the wilderness, but there were also countless mutant animals. Who could sleep outside? But this didn't stop them from having to eat.
It is true that they have not eaten any food on the way from 9 o'clock in the morning to 3:30 now, but it is not difficult to guess that everything is just for the sake of hurrying on the road.
After the extreme cold, it got dark very early. If we didn’t travel during the day, no one dared to walk at night, so we didn’t stop at all along the way until we got here.
As soon as everyone got out of the car, someone started setting up a pot and cooking.
However, Lao Gao was full of doubts about staying overnight. "What should I do at night? Is it safe?"
"It's definitely not safe." Brother Zhang said helplessly, "After dark, I will give everyone a pair of night vision glasses. Especially you who have special abilities, be more vigilant at night. Generally, these animals are most active at night."
Huang Jinghe asked curiously, "So what kind of mutant animals are usually seen at night?"
Brother Zhang laughed and said, "How can I put it? There's everything."
Well, I don’t know what it is, but they can’t imagine it anyway.
For dinner, we had curry rice with a side of magical soup. Each person had two large bowls. It was very nutritious and had a good portion. To be honest, Lan Jin hadn't had curry rice for a long time.
Carrying his own meal, Lan Jin found a slightly larger stone, took it over, sat down and started eating.
Ling Jiang followed closely behind. When she heard her mention that she hadn't eaten curry rice in a long time, she immediately said, "It's not just curry rice, it's also steak, pasta, cake... I haven't eaten any of these in a long time."
That being said, it's not like she doesn't have it in her space, but no one mentioned it and no one made it, so naturally she didn't eat it.
Lan Jin whispered, "Why didn't you tell me when we were cooking noodles last time? I have so much. I can just make it in advance and eat it whenever I want."
Ling Jiang replied, "I didn't know about pasta before. I only found out about it when Lao Gao was clearing out the inventory last time. Let's talk about it next time, after we leave this place. Oh, and fry some steak. I haven't had it for a while."
"Just fry a big bucket of it. No, let Grandma Ling fry it in the space. I'll go in and tell her when she goes to bed later."
This was not really her ordering Grandma Ling to do anything, but since drinking the spiritual spring water, Grandma Ling has been in extremely good spirits and feels very comfortable in the space. When she has nothing to do, she will tidy up the vegetable garden for her and cook a few dishes every day to increase their reserve food. So since everything has been done anyway, what's wrong with her making a request? Besides, she is not the only one eating it.
Ling Jiang nodded in agreement, "Okay, my grandma's fried steak is also good."
The two spoke in very low voices and were some distance away from the team, so people around them didn't hear their conversation.
However, just as the two were talking to each other, they both seemed to hear a heavy sound of footsteps slowly moving towards them.
Lan Jin put the food into her mouth and looked back. She frowned and asked, "Did you hear that?"
