The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food
Chapter 270 Tracking the Bird Mutant
Chapter 270 Tracking the Bird Mutant
In the sky, heavy rain was still falling.
The raindrops fell like a string of pearls.
The sky was still overcast and it was impossible to see what was behind the thick clouds.
Liang Yuan’s body was surrounded by a shield formed by his mental power to block the wind and rain.
He raised his head and gazed towards the sky covered with dark clouds.
Over the past six months, there have been continuous heavy rains and the dark clouds in the sky have never dispersed.
Liang Yuan somehow recalled the military transport plane he saw at Midu Garden.
He still clearly remembered that the transport plane did not fly into the clouds, but flew at a low altitude.
But a giant strange bird swooped out from the clouds, tore the transport plane apart, and then dived back into the clouds, disappearing without a trace.
“During the last tide, there were also strange birds appearing in Yangshan, but I have never seen this kind of strange bird in Yangshan before.”
“I have never found the nests of these strange birds.”
“Could they come from the sky?”
Liang Yuan suddenly had an idea.
Immediately, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Otherwise there is no way to explain why these strange birds come and go without a trace, leaving no trace at all.
But… there is no place to stand in the sky, how can they stay above the clouds for a long time?
Liang Yuan was confused and really couldn’t figure it out.
He was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, “Ji Feng, have someone take all these spider webs back and find someone to weave and mend them. Maybe we can make a giant web to deal with sea monsters in the future.”
“Yes, Mr. Liang.”
Ji Feng quickly took people with him, rolled up the spider web, and carried it away.
Liang Yuan looked at the sky, silent and thoughtful.
The sky is full of dark clouds, making it difficult to see what is in the sky.
Liang Yuan searched around for a while and suddenly saw a dark green board under a stone slab.
But the color of this board is completely different from the nearby building materials.
Liang Yuan stepped forward and tried to pull the board out.
However, as soon as he started, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
“No, not plastic!”
Although this dark green tentacles is hard, it is not a whole piece, but is made up of wire-like substances.
It looks like Venetian blinds, layer upon layer, piled up together, just like a whole palm leaf fan.
Liang Yuan pulled it hard and pulled it out completely.
Only then did I realize that this was not a piece of board at all, but a huge feather!
The dark green feathers are more than three meters long, dark green all over, and as hard as a steel knife.
Liang Yuan waved his hand casually, and it actually made a buzzing sound that broke through the air!
“Pfft!”
He casually poked it into the ground, and immediately the bricks on the ruins were easily cut open like tofu!
Liang Yuan showed a look of shock on his face: “So sharp, so hard, it’s actually a feather!”
He couldn’t imagine what kind of strange bird could grow such terrifying wings.
“Could it be that the giant bone-spear spider was pecked and captured by the owner of this feather?”
“One feather is more than three meters long. How big is this mutant bird?”
Liang Yuan frowned, not knowing which one was stronger, his current strength or that of this strange bird.
He put the feather into his inventory and put the matter aside for the time being.
“These birds come and go without a trace, but during high tides, a large number of strange birds will come to the river bank to hunt. This time, the high tide may allow me to find out what’s going on.”
Liang Yuan quickly thought of a solution. The last time he discovered some giant bird mutants was during the sea tide.
These bird mutants come in groups and come to the river bank during high tide to prey on the mutant fish that are swept ashore by the waves.
As long as I guard the coast this time, I will definitely encounter these mutated birds again. Then, by following these monsters, I may have a chance to find their nests.
Liang Yuan stopped hesitating and went back to the shelter.
In the next few days, he lived a regular life, going to the slaughterhouse in the morning to kill mutant creatures and collect points.
Then I inspected the various work at the shelter and went back to have lunch at noon.
In the afternoon, he began to tap into his supernatural potential, using the waterfall to bombard his body, forcing the [Evolution] supernatural power to automatically improve his defense and recovery capabilities.
When he was tired, he would go back to make talismans. By now, he had many kinds of talismans in his hands.
Many of the talisman stones displayed in the talisman shop that Yang Mei asked Old Man Yang to open were made by him.
Time flies and four days have passed.
The entire shelter was busy that day. Everyone fled back to their homes behind the high walls, and the children were sent to families with stone caves for protection.
Because today is a tide day.
However, unlike previous years, on this tide day, the patrol teams and the psychics did not hide. Everyone walked out of their homes and stood on the walls of the shelter.
At Liang Yuan’s request, they need to guard the Fire Bamboo Forest during the high tide and prevent the mutant beasts in the forest from coming out to attack the farm and Yangshan Shopping Center.
That valley had long been completely blocked off, and the psychics were divided into teams of five, on duty in various places.
This was their first time facing the tide, coming out on a tidal day.
“Brother Liang, everything has been arranged. As long as we can defend ourselves this time, we won’t have to be afraid of the tides anymore.” Zhao Kai excitedly ran to Liang Yuan and reported.
Liang Yuan nodded slightly: “The sea tide will attract a beast tide, but in the past month, we have hunted down a lot of mutant beasts in Yangshan, so it is difficult to form a large-scale beast tide.”
“Especially some powerful mutant beasts, they have all been dealt with, leaving only some small mutant beasts that dare not attack the shelter.”
“You stay in the shelter. I’m going to go out for a while.”
Liang Yuan thought of his plan, greeted everyone, called Tu Long, and ran quickly to the river together.
Tu Long followed closely behind and couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t it too early to come now? The tide is still rising, and the mutant fish in the water haven’t been pushed ashore yet.”
Liang Yuan shook his head and said in a deep voice: “It’s not for these mutant fish. Do you remember those mutant birds and beasts I asked you to find?”
Tu Long was stunned: “Remember, didn’t you find it?”
Liang Yuan: “During the last tide, I actually saw a large number of mutant birds and beasts on the river bank, but I was in a hurry at the time and didn’t observe where they came from and where they went. This time I need to take a closer look.”
“You and I will act separately. If you encounter a flock of birds, notify me as soon as possible.”
Tu Long then understood why Liang Yuan came to the river so early. It turned out that he was looking for those mutant birds.
He immediately said, “Okay, then I’ll start searching from the Phoenix Temple in the east.”
Liang Yuan nodded: “I’ll go west.”
The two of them then split up and quickly began searching along the river.
At this time, the tide came, and the waves were getting bigger and bigger, roaring and surging.
Many small mutant fish were swept up by the waves and washed onto the river bank.
Then some huge shrimps and crabs were swept onto the river bank.
Shrimps and crabs began to prey on the mutant fish trapped in the puddle, and a large amount of fishy smell gradually spread.
Even heavy rain could not stop the spread of the fishy smell.
As the fishy smell spread, the roars of various mutant beasts began to be heard in the mountains and forests.
Those mutant beasts gradually became agitated and ran out from the forests one after another!
But this time, the number of mutant beasts was more than one-tenth less than the last tide Liang Yuan experienced.
Most of them are mutant cats and dogs, mutant hedgehogs, mutant mice and so on.
Although these small mutant beasts are numerous, their strength is low. Not to mention Liang Yuan and Tu Long, even Wu Ying and Shi Haizhu can kill them easily.
Over the long term, Liang Yuan and his group were not the only ones whose strength was improving. All the people who had come out with Liang Yuan at the beginning had also seen their strength improved a lot without them realizing it.
The fighting capacity of many people is no worse than that of Wang Weidong’s gang in the Hang Lung Building.
Even people like Zhao Kai and Ding Yan are already one level stronger than everyone else, and are only slightly behind Li Yuefeng and Wu Meng.
Liang Yuan dived underground as usual and began to harvest mutant fish along the way, quickly earning points.
At the same time, his mental power spread out, paying close attention to the movements on the river bank.
After about half a day, the sky was already pitch dark.
Liang Yuan was killing a group of mutant crabs when he suddenly heard a loud shout from a distance.
“Hmm? Tu Long!”
Liang Yuan reacted immediately, and without saying a word, he rushed over at high speed underground.
In less than five minutes, Liang Yuan arrived at the place where Tu Long made the roar.
But in the large forest ahead that was flooded by the tide, a group of giant flying birds landed on the branches.
Some of them lowered their heads and pecked at the water surface, and suddenly huge clams were pulled out of the water by their huge beaks.
The hard clam shell was easily chiseled open by the huge beaks and shattered with a few bangs.
The clam meat inside was pecked out and put into the mouth.
Liang Yuan found Tu Long hiding behind a tree in the distance.
Tu Long did not notice Liang Yuan underground, and was about to continue whistling. But suddenly a figure emerged and patted him on the shoulder.
“Stop barking.”
Tu Long was startled, and he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw it was Liang Yuan. He quickly whispered, “You’re here, look, these giant birds are coming.”
Liang Yuan asked in a low voice: “Where did they come from? Did you see it clearly?”
Tu Long quickly shook his head: “No, they were already here when I came here.”
Liang Yuan frowned and said, “Wait and see where they will go after they have eaten and drunk their fill.”
“Okay.” Tu Long nodded immediately.
Liang Yuan was reluctant to give up the mutant fish on the shore, as they were all points.
He immediately dived back into the ground and began to use earth escape to conceal his body. He used his mental power to kill the mutated fish in the water and gain points crazily.
Every ten minutes or so, he would emerge from the ground to check on the strange bird mutants over there. After confirming that they were still foraging, he would emerge from the ground again to earn points.
This continued for about an hour, and suddenly he felt the ground shaking violently.
Liang Yuan quickly stuck his head out and saw Tu Long stomping on the ground anxiously and running wildly nearby.
He immediately crawled out of the mud and looked towards the water’s edge, only to find that there were fewer strange birds there.
Many strange birds spread their wings and flew to the treetops, making clear and sharp cries.
Liang Yuan’s heart moved, and he immediately found Tu Long and asked, “Are they leaving?”
Tu Long said anxiously: “A batch has already flown away, and this batch will take off soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining strange birds suddenly flapped their wings, chirped, and then circled in the air against the wind and rain.
Seeing this, the giant birds on the ground followed the flock of birds and flew up into the sky.
Liang Yuan and Tu Long looked at each other.
“Let’s follow and see!” Liang Yuan said immediately.
Tu Long rolled on the ground without saying a word, and the giant eagle spirit pattern was activated. He immediately turned into a giant eagle and quickly soared into the sky.
Liang Yuan grabbed the giant eagle claw that Tu Long had transformed into without saying a word, and was immediately carried into the air by Tu Long.
Tu Long flapped his wings and flew higher and higher.
Liang Yuan looked down at Yangshan Mountain. The trees were getting smaller and smaller, and they were flying higher and higher.
“Liang Yuan, it’s too high. They are still flying upwards.”
Soon, Liang Yuan and Tu Long had flown to the top of Yangshan Mountain, which was even higher than the mountain.
But the group of strange birds did not stop and continued to fly towards the sky.
Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: “Follow them, there is no place to land in the sky, I want to see where they are going to fly to.”
Tu Long didn’t waste any time, flapped his wings and continued to fall towards those strange birds.
At this time, there was heavy rain in the sky, and the giant eagle transformed by Tu Long seemed to be struggling.
This altitude was a height he rarely flew to.
Liang Yuan looked down at Yangshan Mountain below. At this moment, Yangshan Mountain had become small.
It looks like a mound of earth.
Liang Yuan estimated that the altitude was at least a thousand meters.
Suddenly, Tu Long shouted, “They are entering the clouds!”
Liang Yuan rolled over and climbed from under Tu Long’s claws onto its back.
Looking up at the sky, I saw these strange birds rushing into the clouds one by one and gradually disappearing.
Liang Yuan frowned, somewhat surprised: “They actually flew into the clouds? Is there something in the clouds for them to rest on?”
To be honest, this is really unbelievable.
There were also heavy rains before the flood, but generally speaking, no birds would come out to fly around in such weather.
Not to mention the birds flying into the clouds.
Perhaps only the seagull created by Gorky would do such a thing.
Liang Yuan had never actually seen a bird flying into the clouds.
He immediately said: “Let’s go in!”
Upon hearing this, Tu Long gritted his teeth and said, “Okay!”
In fact, he was already a little unable to hold on as this place was too high from the ground.
The giant eagle transformed by Wen Ling was not a real giant eagle, but the result of his supernatural power.
As he flew higher and higher, his special powers were consumed greatly.
Because the higher he flies, the greater the gravity he needs to overcome, and the more supernatural energy he will consume.
But now we are already close to the clouds, so what is there to hesitate about?
At that moment, Tu Long gritted his teeth, braved the heavy rain, and rushed directly into the clouds above with Liang Yuan.
The water vapor in the clouds is heavy and feels sticky.
All I saw was a sea of white mist. I couldn’t tell the direction at all, let alone the giant birds.
Liang Yuan urged directly: “Don’t stop, keep flying upwards. The higher you fly, the lighter the water vapor in these clouds will be, and the thinner it will be.”
“it is good!”
Tu Long flapped his wings vigorously and continued to fly upwards. His body was already unstable.
Liang Yuan looked solemn. Suddenly, his expression changed. He sensed something and said suddenly, “Be careful!”
The next moment, his mental power was released instantly, forming a transparent tortoise shell!
Spirit turtle cover!
Boom!
Suddenly, two clouds collided with each other, and then a blinding white light exploded.
Then there was a loud bang and a huge thunderclap.
The Spirit Turtle Shield only lasted for less than a second before it exploded!
However, in less than a second, Liang Yuan grabbed Tu Long, and two balls of fire exploded under his feet, and his body moved sideways fifty meters in an instant!
The thunder exploded, and the clouds rolled, causing more thunder to roar.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan grabbed Tu Long without saying a word, and continuously urged the [Red Pig Wheel], and his figure ran rapidly in the clouds.
But as he ran wildly, his body kept falling down.
The whole thing is like an arc, falling out of the clouds at a very fast speed!
Tu Long flapped his wings hastily, trying to slow down, and shouted, “Come up quickly.”
Liang Yuan quickly dispersed the [Red Pig Wheel] skill, and at the same time turned over again and stood on Tu Long.
In fact, he may not need Tu Long’s help to make an emergency landing. His evolutionary ability can quickly make his back muscles form a “bat wing” state and glide at low altitude.
However, low-altitude gliding cannot control the landing point, so it is not as stable and convenient as Tu Long’s Wenling Giant Eagle.
Standing on Tu Long’s back, Tu Long continued to flap his wings vigorously, and the two of them gradually stabilized and stopped falling.
Tu Long couldn’t help but shout, “There is a lot of thunder in the clouds, how did those bird mutants get in?”
Liang Yuan couldn’t figure it out either, so he asked, “Can you still hold on?”
“No, I have used up too much of my superpowers.”
When Liang Yuan heard this, he could only say, “Go back first.”
“it is good!”
The two quickly flew towards Yangshan and soon landed on the ruins of Gouwu Pavilion.
As soon as he landed, Tu Long quickly regained his human form. His face turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground, shouting, “I’m so tired.”
Liang Yuan asked, “Can’t your Spiritual Eagle last that long?”
Tu Long said helplessly, “I can fly five or six kilometers at an altitude of one or two hundred meters, but the higher I fly, the more my superpowers are consumed. A thousand meters is already my limit.”
Liang Yuan nodded: “Because of gravity?”
“Correct.”
Liang Yuan frowned slightly. Tu Long couldn’t fly that high. Could he use his telekinesis to continue climbing higher?
Theoretically, it is possible. You can use your telekinesis to condense a platform and then rely on your super agility to continuously jump higher into the sky.
However, in this process, we are actually constantly overcoming gravity.
I am afraid that the higher the place, the more difficult it will be for the telekinetic platform that condenses the telekinetic power to withstand my own explosion, and the height of my jump may become smaller and smaller.
“Why do you think those strange birds fly into the clouds? Why aren’t they afraid of lightning? What’s in the clouds?”
Tu Long took a deep breath and then immediately asked Liang Yuan these questions.
Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: “I don’t know, these strange birds flew into the clouds and never appeared again. I am a little suspicious that there may be some big secret above the clouds!”
“Logically speaking, these birds can’t just fly in and never come out. There’s only water vapor and fog up there, and they have no place to land. How can they fly in the clouds forever?”
“It’s very likely that there is something in that cloud that we can stay.”
“As for why these bird mutants are not afraid of lightning…”
Liang Yuan frowned, somewhat unable to understand.
Suddenly he thought of something and immediately took out the huge dark green feather from the inventory.
“What is this?” Tu Long was immediately surprised when he saw the feather.
“It’s feathers. I was wondering if their fearlessness of lightning has something to do with these feathers?”
Tu Long was also a smart man. Hearing this, he immediately understood what Liang Yuan meant and asked, “Are you saying that these feathers can avoid lightning?”
Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: “This is just my guess, I have to go back and test it.”
Tu Long climbed up, looked at the sky, spat, and said, “Damn it, this world is becoming more and more incomprehensible.”
