Infinite Doomsday Survival System

Chapter 309 Returning to the Ground
Leaving the ant nest, if it was before, Lan would definitely leave behind the other ants that day.

After all, they are completely unfamiliar with ant nests, and the ant nests are so intricate that they are completely a maze, and they can't get out of it with their strength alone.

So they can only leave the ant nest behind the ants.

But that was the previous situation. Now Tian Lan could already sense the existence of pheromones. Although she still didn't know what it meant, she could still roughly guess it.

Creatures such as ants, in order not to get lost, usually mark their own scent on the road to facilitate their return to the nest.

Of course, when they leave the nest, they will also be marked.

And what Tianlan had to do now was to distinguish the marks left by these ants leaving the nest, and follow these marks, so that they could leave the ant nest safely.

Of course, they can also choose to follow the ants, but there are certain risks in that.

Besides, they couldn't tell whether the ant was going to leave the nest and go out for food.

Compared to following behind the ants, Tian Lan felt that it was more convenient for him to distinguish the marks that left the ant nest.

This is not a difficult task, just like mastering a foreign language. Of course, it is not a complete mastery. You only need to know what is yes and what is no.

By observing the ants' every move, Tian Lan quickly discerned the difference between the two, and then began to lead Chu Mosheng out along the marked information.

As for whether this is the way to leave the ant nest, Tian Lan is not sure, but he has to try everything, and after some failures, it will help him master this ability.

Next, Tian Lan started to wander around the ants' nests with Chu Mosheng.

They also took a lot of detours during the period, but fortunately, the ant's nest is not a dead end. All the nests are connected by a huge cavity and a tunnel.

As long as you walk in one direction, you can get out sooner or later.

As for Tian Lan, who could read the pheromones of ants, she didn't need to try her luck, as long as she walked in the direction marked by the ants on the ground, she would be able to leave the nest quickly.

Although they took a lot of detours during the period, at least they left the ant nest safely.

There is not only one exit from the ant nest, the one in the city can only be said to be one of the many exits from the ant nest.

But presumably the exit on the other side of the city can no longer be used. After all, it was bombed so repeatedly that if it was not cleaned up, it would be impossible to pass through.

But now Tianlan and the others came out of a forest.

As for the specific location, they are not yet sure.

Just after leaving the dark cave and coming outside suddenly, human eyes couldn't adapt to the sudden change of light and darkness for a while, causing Chu Mosheng's eyes to be completely white, and he couldn't confirm the surrounding situation at all.

And Tian Lan is not very familiar with this area, so he doesn't know where it is.

He also lived in this city for a while, but it happened many years ago, even if he still remembers everything back then, he might not know where this place is.

After all, the times have changed a lot. Even Tianlan's own home, although the home has not changed much, but some of the surroundings have become unknown to Tianlan in just half a year.

But now, compared to confirming her position, Tian Lan felt that there were still some things that had to be dealt with first.

The current season is midsummer, and it is the most prosperous period for insects.

And in this season, there are already a lot of bugs in the city, let alone the wilderness.

At this moment they are indeed in a forest, but this forest has lost its original green color, and even the tree trunks are almost gone.

After all, the vast majority of insects are herbivorous, and it is very simple to eat all the leaves of a forest after they become so large.

So what's next for bugs with no leaves to eat?
Should I just sit and wait to die, or change my eating habits?
The answer is obvious. It may be very difficult to change the feeding habits, but for the current bugs, it is a very simple matter.

If you don't eat, then there is only death. Between life and death, no matter it is any creature, it will instinctively choose life.

In order to survive, animals often use the most instinctive and effective methods.

Now that there are no leaves to eat, then eat other creatures. As long as it is to survive, there is nothing in this world that cannot be eaten.

Like now, two people suddenly appeared in the already bare forest. What does that mean?
Of course a big meal is coming!
Tian Lan, who just came to the ground, saw the caterpillars hidden in the surrounding trees.

Since the caterpillars are the same color as the tree trunk, they are effectively hidden in the forest so that the ants cannot find them.

But as long as you observe carefully, you can still find it.

Tian Lan found densely packed caterpillars on a big tree surrounded by one person, they had completely covered the tree, and there was no gap at all.

The moment Tian Lan appeared, all the caterpillars became restless.

At this moment, Tian Lan felt a very aggressive gaze on her body.

And the number of this line of sight, Tian Lan could not confirm.

There are too many, and Tian Lan can't confirm too many, as if Tian Lan and the others have been drowned by sight at this moment.

Tian Lan couldn't confirm how many bugs were around, but they still had no intention of attacking her for the time being.

It should be because they are still on the ground next to the ants. For their own safety, they will not easily expose themselves in front of the ants.

However, if Tian Lan left the territory of the ants, it would be hard to say.

At this moment, Chu Mosheng finally got used to the changes in the strong light, looking at the surrounding situation.

However, Chu Mosheng, who had just seen the surrounding situation clearly, almost screamed, but fortunately she endured it.

This picture is simply unbearable.

As far as he could see, Chu Mosheng saw countless bugs.

This is just in front of them. If the whole forest is like this, Chu Mosheng can't even imagine how many bugs there are.

"Hold me tight."

Tian Lan's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, which startled Chu Mosheng, but she did not complain, but hugged Tian Lan's body tightly without any hesitation.

Tian Lan looked at Chu Mosheng who was holding her tightly, and reached out to stop her slender waist.

Then his legs began to bend, and then he jumped suddenly, jumping directly to a position several meters high.

If you want to leave this place, you can't just jump. The forest is too vast. They can't estimate the distance, and they can't jump out of the forest at all.

But Tian Lan never planned to jump out of the forest from the beginning.

I saw the clothes on Tian Lan's back suddenly burst, and a pair of cicada-like wings stretched out from Tian Lan's back.

The wings flapped constantly, from a slow speed at the beginning to a speed of ten or even dozens of beats per second.

The transparent wings set off a strong wind, which brought Tian Lan and Chu Mosheng into the air.

Seeing that she left the ground and soared in the air, Chu Mosheng couldn't help cheering.

"Wow! That's great! This is simply amazing!"

And Tian Lan's cheers to Chu Mosheng was a warning: "Don't move around, be careful that I will throw you down."

"..." Hearing such a warning, Chu Mosheng shut up instantly and stopped making any noise.

In fact, Tian Lan didn't mean to warn Chu Mosheng, like flying in the air now, Tian Lan also paid a heavy price.

It is difficult to control the way of flying with insects. You have to constantly flap your wings to fly. If you stop for a while, Tianlan and the others will fall down.

That's why Tian Lan told Chu Mosheng to shut up, not to let her interfere with him, so as not to fall and become food for those bugs.

According to the gnawing speed of those bugs, it may take less than half a minute, and even the bones will not be left.

Insects fly very laboriously, having to flap their wings dozens of times per second.

According to Tian Lan's current strength, it would not last long at all. They had to leave this forest as soon as possible.

"Do you know where this is?" Tian Lan asked Chu Mosheng.

If you want to leave this forest, you must first figure out where it is, and then confirm the direction. Otherwise, not only will you not leave the forest in the end, but you will find something as you go deeper.

Chu Mosheng looked at the changed forest, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "I think it should be the back mountain, the back mountain closest to that city, as long as you keep going north, you should be able to return to it soon." into the city."

Although Chu Mosheng couldn't be sure, they shouldn't be too far away.

Regarding Chu Mosheng's words, Tian Lan had no doubts, and flew directly to the north.

Now Tian Lan, it is not too easy to confirm a direction.

Even without passing through the sun, the direction can be accurately confirmed.

After all, certain bugs are born to be ruthless direction confirmation machines.

Even if they are in the underground where they can't tell the direction, they can distinguish the north, south, east, and west.

Therefore, now Tian Lan can clearly distinguish the direction, and there is no need to confirm anything at all.

However, sometimes, even if the direction can be distinguished, the final result may not develop as expected.

For example, now, what Chu Mosheng said is indeed correct, this is indeed the back mountain of the city they are in, as long as they go north, they can indeed return to the original city.

But Chu Mosheng forgot the distance, even if they flew north from here non-stop, this distance is not the distance they can fly back immediately.

Besides, Tian Lan's ability has its limits. Although he has insect genes, he is not an insect.

Tian Lan can't fly freely like an insect, his current flying time is only 5 minutes.

Any more than 5 minutes and he will be completely exhausted.
