Age of Behemoths

Before the whole world changed suddenly, Shen Yifei always felt that the pace of life of modern people was very fast.Of course, probably part of the reason is that he is a good kid who works hard and studies hard, and there is always no leisure time.But after the sudden change, the so-called busyness before seems like a joke now, and now they seem to be racing against their own lives every day.

There is an obvious bulge on the back of the mammoth mother's neck. Shen Yifei sits in front of this bulge, and there is just a place to lean on.

Shen Yifei has two purposes for this trip. The first is of course to find food, and the second is to inspect his "territory" to find out if there is any danger and available resources.And this time he went out, at least at the first stop, he had a purpose - the location of the flock that Xiao Su found.

Soon after the sheep were discovered, the freezing rain came, so even if they migrated or escaped for their lives, they should not be too far away.Xiao Su said that there are more than a dozen sheep in that flock, which can be regarded as a rather rich food reserve.

Shen Yifei closed his eyes for a while. Although it was all white, the ground was more dazzling than before. After all, many places are covered with ice.But the sunglasses they found can no longer be used for a long time, because the outside temperature, the mirror surface of the ordinary sunglasses they found, will be frozen with a layer of not-so-thin frost in a short period of time, even with human skin. The skin of the face and the bridge of the nose are frozen together.So, now Shen Yifei... covered the upper half of his face with a light gray gauze scarf that he had forgotten where it came from.

——This method of wrapping the scarf, if two holes are dug at the position of the eyes, you can play a grand thief.

However, if the time is long, the eyes will still get tired.Therefore, Shen Yifei opened his eyes for 5 minutes, closed his eyes and rested for a minute or two before continuing to read.

The pace of the mammoth mother is not fast, and it can even be said to be leisurely, but the advantage of her size makes their journey very fast.Shen Yifei touched the top of the mammoth mother's head. He didn't know whether the giant beast could feel his touch through the thick fur.But this is also a way for him to express his gratitude. Speaking of which, he hasn't named the Mammoth family yet.

Because at the beginning, he always thought that the mammoth mother would leave with the baby mammoth, so he deluded himself and thought that if he didn't have a name, it wouldn't be so sad when he separated, but...

"How about calling you Wendy, and the little mammoth Peter Pan?" After talking to himself, Shen Yifei immediately felt very satisfied, "This time Qin Jixun will definitely not laugh at my unreliable name."

Wendy swung her nose and uttered a deep elephant cry, as if she understood it, but it seemed that it was just a random call.

But Shen Yifei is of course very shameless, how to benefit himself, how to interpret: "You agree, that's good. Huh? Wendy! Stop! Wendy! Stop!...Mammoth mother stop!"

It seems that it will take some time for the name Wendy to be accepted by Mammoth Mama. At this stage, Mammoth Mama is more practical.As soon as Wendy heard the latter address, she immediately stopped in her tracks, while Shen Yifei jumped down at the fastest speed.Just now, he seems to have seen something?

Is it human?

What Shen Yifei saw was the corpse of a naked fat man half frozen in the ice...Before that, he thought that obesity had become extinct in the current world—he wore a piece of clothing It's not surprising either, it's likely that the Companions took all of his belongings with him after his death.But there is another possibility, that is, this fat man is not human.

If it is a person, the situation is still very simple.If it's a worm corpse...does it mean that the attack of the worm corpse is not over yet?

Shen Yifei walked closer, ready to take a closer look at the other party's body.Sudden!The fat man's eyelids were opened, but what was stuffed in his eye sockets was not the weight of a normal human being, but a chameleon-like green protruding big eyeball that could rotate in any direction...

Now this pair of eyeballs, which are extremely inconsistent with human faces, stared blankly at Shen Yifei just after the fat man opened his eyelids.

Insect corpse!

Shen Yifei's ax hit the opponent's head immediately. He thought that he would miss, or that the attack would return in vain because of the ability displayed by the opponent.Of course, he is also ready to continue to attack in the next step.But the fact was beyond his expectation, he struck down with the axe, and with a whimper of "hiss", yellow-green liquid shot out from the severed head.

And this insect corpse, apart from opening its eyes, didn't even move its fingers from beginning to end.

Shen Yifei's body was still in a tense fighting state, and he felt seriously bewildered that Rang died so easily.

At this time, he remembered what Qin Jixun said, that near the lake, all the dead insects were buried under the snowflakes.In addition, those insect corpses gathered in the lake, and the vicinity of that lake is the warmest place in this refuge, right?

Could it be... the insect corpse is afraid of the cold?

This should not be impossible, right?After all, both insects and humans are very afraid of severe cold, not to mention that people who have become insect corpses have lost the wisdom of dressing themselves to keep warm, or lighting a fire to keep warm.They can only get close to warm areas, and lie under the snow... Could it not be an ambush, but a state similar to hibernation?

Shen Yifei felt excited. Although he found the insect repellent herb, to be honest, no matter how well the two of them thought about it, they couldn't be sure that the herb would be effective for the infected people.However, the possibility of this one in front of me is very high!However, Shen Yifei can't immediately rush back to discuss with Qin Jixun. After all, even if he knows the weakness of the insect corpse at this stage, it is still useless to think about it?

After the excitement, Shen Yifei was a little discouraged.Indeed, what can I do if I know that insect corpses are afraid of the cold?In the face of human beings whose civilization has collapsed, should they still find nitrogen to spray infinitely on insect corpses?At most, he knew that living in a cold place made him less likely to be attacked.

Sighing, Shen Yifei walked back to Wendy's side again, scurrying up and down on its back like a monkey: "Let's continue, anyway, this is a good start, right? "

There was another elephant cry, as if comforting or agreeing...

After encountering the insect corpse, it didn't take long for them to find the area Xiao Su mentioned.But of course there were no dead sheep all over the place waiting for Shen Yifei to pick them up. In fact, the place was empty.

There were no traces left on the ground. Shen Yifei's five senses were still considered disabled in his family. He stood in place, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and thought about which direction the goats were more likely to run to. ?

"..." At this time, somewhere in the dense forest, there was a vague sound, as if it was the cry of some kind of animal.

"Wendy, you stay here first." Shen Yifei gestured to Wendy to let her stay. Wendy's movements were too loud, and no matter what animal it was, it was likely to be frightened and run away.Wendy rubbed Shen Yifei's head twice with her nose. No matter how other elephants communicate with people, to Wendy, this is the answer she gave in the affirmative.

Shen Yifei immediately ran towards the direction of the sound. Behind him, Wendy shook the pine trees with her nose, shaking off the frost on them, and ate the green pine needles of those pine trees after experiencing such severe cold.

In the direction in which Shen Yifei was chasing, the cry became clearer and more frequent, and it should not have been made by one or a single animal, especially, one of the calls was heard by Shen Yifei. Does it sound familiar?

The distance between him and those animals was getting closer and closer. Gradually, he didn't know how to hear the animals' calls, but also the sound of their hooves trampling on the ground. horn sound.

Shen Yifei found the flock, not just the flock, he even found his old acquaintance here - the giant horned deer!I just don't know if that silly deer is in this herd.However, I finally saw that there were giant horned deer living here, which meant that they were also tenacious guys.

In addition to deer and sheep, Shen Yifei also saw another snow-white animal in this large herd——horse.However, it was only Shen Yifei who thought they should be horses, because these horses were a size smaller than deer and sheep, their necks were a little shorter than the horses Shen Yifei had seen before, and their ears were also a little shorter.

Shen Yifei was actually very curious about how these animals escaped the freezing rain when it was impossible to light a fire for warmth.In particular, he was able to spot pups in all three species, suggesting that they are capable of protecting themselves even in freezing rain.However, I haven't seen any mutant who has the ability to talk to animals, not to mention that Shen Yifei is still a predator, so that is probably a mystery that cannot be solved at this stage.

There is another trouble, although Shen Yifei is very happy to see that they are all alive, which means that there will be more species alive in this world.However, if you want to hunt on a large scale, it is probably a troublesome thing.As for Shen Yifei's own strength, he feels that ability is slowly weakening, and it is very likely that jumping out now is to scare them all away.In particular, Shen Yifei felt that unless he had to, he was not prepared to use his abilities like that.

He looked at the "equipment" he could use for hunting: slings, axes, ropes, shovels, lighters, and alcohol.

It's just how many sheep or horses can these things be used to deal with?

——Because of the silly deer, Shen Yifei automatically ignored the herd of deer.
