130 Chapter 130
Chapter 130
Having said that, the mountain they were standing on was definitely carefully selected. Among the other unfamiliar areas that had not been flooded, its danger level was already considered to be medium.
If they can get down from this mountain safely and find out the situation clearly, then they can also explore the more dangerous and unfamiliar areas ahead.
If they can't even get out of the area in front of them safely, then there's no way they can get out of the more dangerous areas behind them.
In a short period of time, those places will become restricted areas for humans.
However, before they come to a conclusion, those ideas are just speculations and will not become reality for the time being.
What they need to do is to try their best to prevent that possibility from becoming a reality.
After everyone rested, their strength had mostly recovered, and it was time to set off again.
They are still on the periphery. After the previous battle caused the remaining mutant animals to run away, the mutant plants and animals that were watching before did not come forward to disturb them.
He just watched them rest, with no intention of coming up to get beaten.
They are now at the outskirts of the mountain. Does that mean they don't want to go inside and up the mountain?
It’s purely because they don’t have enough strength to go in!
Their strength is limited to this. Those humans have killed so many brainless ones. Their strength is not much different from those brainless ones. Since they are useless and can only be beaten to death or driven away, what difference does it make if they go up alone? It is better to be timid and consciously give way to those humans.
These mutated animals and plants on the periphery took the initiative to move aside, and it seemed that they were not prepared to conflict with them. So they did not have to go up and provoke them and conflict with those mutated animals and plants.
They slowly crossed the activity range of the mutant animals and plants, and made sure that they had passed them and there were no mutant animals or plants around that would attack them. Only then did they relax temporarily.
"Leader, do you feel that the mutated plants and animals on this mountain are smarter than before?"
This feeling is very subtle. In this world, the spiritual energy has revived, and after those mutated animals and plants mutated, the IQ of some of them has been inexplicably raised. On the premise of the IQ being raised, people can still feel that the IQ is rising, which is a bit scary.
A feeling arises that my position is about to be replaced.
One of the main reasons why humans were able to maintain their dominant position in the world before the mutation was because of their intelligence and the fact that other intelligent animals could not match humans in physical flexibility, could not control fine operations, and could not replicate some of humans' achievements.
But now it’s different. The whole world is mutating. The strength of mutated animals and plants has always increased faster than that of humans, and now even their IQ is increasing. There is no guarantee that in the future there won’t be a race that is perhaps even stronger than humans and become the new leader of this mutated world where spiritual energy has revived.
Although this idea was already circling in their minds, the team leader and some people who thought of this possibility did not show it at all. What will happen in the future can only be known later. Right now, the most important thing for them is the task at hand.
The situation on the mountain was much worse than when they first came out of this area. As soon as they crossed a certain boundary, something attacked them directly the next second.
The opponent's attack was very well prepared. It seemed that it had noticed them before they even stepped into its territory, and was determined to tear to pieces the two-legged beasts that stepped into its territory.
They were strong and fast, and even though they were careful and cautious every time they took a step, two people with special abilities were still hit by the opponent's tail, and blood instantly gushed out of the wounds.
The person with healing abilities noticed the situation and while the others were distracting the thing, he immediately went up to treat the person.
Fortunately, although the wound looks terrible, it will not cause much impact on oneself after treatment.
Although they were unable to dodge completely, they still managed to protect their vital points in a hurry.
If they had not been able to avoid the fatal attack range in such a short time, they would probably have died on the spot before they could receive medical help.
"The captains of the front line, use your abilities to hold it up, don't let that thing touch anyone."
The opponent has extremely strong attack power. If there is no ability to resist it that can be compared with it, those slightly weaker ability users and those auxiliary ability users behind will suffer a bloody battle as long as they encounter the opponent.
After all, the captains of the front line have been leading the team on the front line for a long time to deal with those mutated animals and plants. Before the team leader spoke, they were already prepared to rush forward in the first row.
One order at a time, and they are in position the next moment.
It can only be said that these captains can become captains of the front-line teams not only because of their excellent organizational and coordination skills, but also because of their use of their own abilities, their judgment of crises, and finally, their strong strength.
Just from the fact that the other side waited until they stepped into their territory before launching an attack, it was clear that they were definitely not some kind of mutant animal or plant with a stupid brain.
Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, it is already merciful enough to wait until humans step into its territory before starting to attack.
It is normal to attack humans at this time.
But humans have their own reasons for insisting on entering this area. No matter what kind of attack they may face, they have made mental preparations in advance.
Although it was a little chaotic at the beginning, I will be able to keep up with the rhythm later.
There are strong people blocking the way in front, and the people with special abilities standing behind them are not weak either. They have been dealing with these mutated animals and plants for a long time, and they have basically encountered all kinds of mutated animals and plants.
Just like when they were facing the groups of mutant animals and plants at the foot of the mountain before, the mutant animal on the opposite side had the upper hand at first, but the situation was different after the humans reacted.
Even though it was strong, there was only one of it. With so many people targeting it, it gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Fortunately, it was smart. After realizing that it could not drive these humans away, it chose to withdraw and retreat to other places.
"We only fought two battles on the mountain. Although we won both battles, they were barely won. We didn't go up the mountain to compete with those mutant animals and plants."
After the battle, the team leader barely stood there, looking at the people with special abilities who were resting. He frowned and thought for a while, and finally found the captains of the front-line teams to continue discussing the way forward.
"We also know that the original plan wasn't to just attack those mutant plants and animals when we encountered them, but now that we've encountered them, what can we do?"
Hearing this, all the captains present who heard his words felt helpless.
I don’t know if it’s because they are unlucky, or if this is just the way it is on this mountain. There are so many strong mutant animals and plants that they will encounter them after walking for a while and they can’t avoid them.
"The support-type ability users in the team will walk in the front, and you will follow them and walk behind them."
The team leader didn't waste any words, and there was no need for him to say any more words now, so he just stated his purpose directly.
"Are you crazy? Even with that level of attack power, the combat-type users ahead of us couldn't avoid it, and you let those who aren't strong in that area go ahead?"
One of the captains of the ability users tightened his face, and both his voice and facial expression expressed rejection.
Among those selected this time was a support-type ability user in his team.
People with that type of ability, even if they practice regularly, are still far from being experts in this area.
When he himself was leading the team out on a mission, he didn't dare to put them in the front. Now that he is in his current position, what's the difference between letting them stand in the front and asking for their lives?
"I think it's because they're standing some distance away that they can't sense it. So, let's ask them to switch positions now. Any problem? Execute!"
Faced with opposition, the leader showed no intention of adopting the proposal and maintained a tough attitude.
There is no way. After all, the other party is in this position now. The rest of the people must obey his orders, even those captains with special abilities.
"I'm not the kind of person who takes people's lives lightly. Besides, if I take my own life this time and walk out of here, regardless of whether you'll follow me out next time, your lives will be spent here. Let's not talk about the high-risk areas ahead, let's talk about those less dangerous areas that are still waiting to be explored. Do you no longer need to carry out missions?"
The team leader began to explain after seeing the orderly rotation of the group and adjusting those with detection-type abilities to the front position.
After hearing his words, those who still had some doubts in their hearts had to put them aside for the time being. No matter what, they all believed that the team leader would not deliberately harm them.
Their purpose for coming out was the same. Just as the team leader himself said, even if it was to complete the mission, he would not deliberately do anything to harm them.
Facts have proved that the team leader's calculations were correct. The detection range of their ability users and those mutated plants and animals was just this difference. Although the perception was still a little vague from where they were standing now, at least they could sense it.
They can sense those things in advance, and although they still cannot avoid being attacked, at least they can prepare in advance. Some of the mutated animals and plants move slowly, so they can dodge in advance before the other party rushes towards them.
The ones who suffer are the ones with sensing abilities walking in front. Even if they are protected by other powerful ability users and captains around them, they are still inevitably targeted by the mutated animals and plants.
Well, they had anticipated these attacks in advance, and now it was just confirming their guesses.
The captains were a little flustered at first because they had to protect them and resist the attacks, but after doing it a few times, they became numb and didn't get used to it.
Almost as soon as the perception-type ability users pointed out that there were mutated animals or plants observing them or approaching them, the ability user captains began to create a protective layer for the perception-type ability users.
Many times, no matter how strong the mutated animals and plants were, they were able to protect those with perception abilities.
But even if they survived, they would inevitably get injured when facing such powerful mutated animals and plants.
Fortunately, there is treatment in the team, so their injuries are not in danger of life.
But even so, as they walked up the mountain, the strength of those mutated animals and plants became visibly stronger.
At the beginning, only a few of them were injured, but now, the captains of the ability users who were blocking the front and some of the auxiliary ability users behind them have started to get injured.
"No, if this continues, we won't be able to protect these sentient beings from those mutated plants and animals."
After struggling to kill the mutant animal in front of him, Captain Three looked at the mutant animal that had been killed in front of him and let out a long sigh. His tone when he spoke was already intermittent with tiredness.
Even though they killed the mutant animal in front of them, the danger just now was no less.
This mutant animal was brainless. After knowing that they had entered its territory, it attacked them directly. Even with the reminders from people with perception abilities, they had no time to react.
After a struggle, if the child had not controlled it for a short while at the critical moment, all of them would probably have died here.
It is undeniable that the child is very capable, but the mutated plants and animals on this mountain are even more powerful.
When facing a strong person, even if the strong person has no brains, the child's control over him will be greatly weakened.
From the first group that went up the mountain to now, the children couldn't control such a powerful mutant animal for long before they broke free.
"If this continues, we won't be able to protect them. We'll probably be killed too."
After hearing what the third captain said, the second team member next to him whispered the fact that they were currently unwilling to admit.
"But what can we do? The strength of the mutant plants and animals we are facing now has reached a point where no matter how many measures we come up with, it will be of little use."
During this short break, they began to urgently discuss what to do next, but after discussing it over and over again, they could not come up with a practical solution.
To repeat, if the people with special abilities on their side could know the location of those mutant animals in advance, know their appearance, and their approximate strength, they might be able to find a way to restrain them before a conflict occurs.
But now the people with special abilities on their side simply cannot sense the mutant animals that may appear ahead at such a distance.
Basically, when they sensed it, they had already entered the territory of those mutated animals and plants, and the other party was very likely to have discovered them. There was no way to avoid them, and they had no time to study strategies to fight the other party.
Under such circumstances, the fact that they fought head-on battles many times and won in the end was already an excellent outcome.
The other people with special abilities who were busy resting and recovering their strength only vaguely heard some of the discussion between the captains and the team leader, and could not hear the details clearly. In the end, they only knew that the team leader and the captains had not figured out a solution for the rest of the mission.
Although the people with special abilities were anxious, they had no other options but to wait quietly.
Unfortunately, they didn't get a specific solution in the end.
"My dear, Daddy brought you some delicious food. You're tired, so eat something first."
The drunk didn't care what happened over there. Anyway, no one found him. He just had to make sure nothing happened to his son.
So, when the others were tired and sitting on the ground to rest, he, who did not participate in the battle, was walking around the field looking for good things for his son.
After all, he had been doing missions in the official team for a long time. As long as the official had found any uses for the good things outside, he would collect them. He even collected more.
Because the resources he had seen were far more than those released by the official side.
Another part he knew was about Daxi Village. Tang Rufeng and his team had sorted out the resources and treasures that Ali and his team had brought back.
Among them, those that can be used by humans have all been certified by Godmother, and even the usage instructions are included.
Now he has found the complete solution for his own children.
While the drunk was busy running around, the wild duck following him also followed at his feet, walking with a clattering sound. It looked slow, but it didn't miss a step. It even used its ability the whole time, causing those around him who were not perceptive to ignore the drunk.
However, those few people with perception abilities who were still standing there and letting the healers help with their injuries couldn't help but twitch their lips as they watched the drunkard's movements, feeling a little helpless.
They are different from other people. Once they see a drunkard, it is difficult for them to ignore him. If the drunkard wants to hide from them, it will be difficult for them to find him. The problem is that the drunkard is not hiding now.
Seeing a drunk walking among so many people with special abilities on their side, and others treating him as if he were air and not reacting at all, anyone would be speechless.
However, they all knew that drunkards would not pose a threat to others. After seeing him busy several times, they no longer paid attention to him.
Seeing that they had almost rested, the team leader and his team still hadn't come up with a solution. They couldn't just stand there and move forward because they couldn't think of a solution, so they had to get up and continue moving forward.
