Chapter 34 Survivor Camp
Although Azisha and Hedi Kuli's miserable state was chilling, Fang Senyan's worries were unnecessary because he already possessed the most terrifying parasitic organism in his body: the Sun Ladder. It was just that the Sun Ladder had completely lost its consciousness and would not harm him.
If the Slaad Clan released a parasite on Fang Senyan, its fertilized egg would enter Fang Senyan's body, and then... there would be no then. The tentacles of the Sun Ladder, growing along the blood vessels, would devour it as a dessert at the first opportunity. A mere fertilized egg trying to contend with the powerful Sun Ladder could only be described with four words: "overestimating oneself!"
The two MTs deliberately suppressed their strength when they were harming themselves, so their injuries were quite severe. They bandaged their arms and walked behind with gloomy faces. Yes, if the team ran away immediately, it would be fine, but now they decided to continue operating in the vicinity... This also meant that the chance of encountering such perverted creatures as the Slaad Clan was very high. As MTs, could they not step up? If they had to undergo such "bone-scraping treatment" after every battle, they would really be in so much pain that they would tear their hair out.
After a simple repair of the raft, the group continued onward.
Along the way, they carefully searched for possible battle locations according to the information provided by Ronnie. At this time, the current became more turbulent, and the river channel narrowed. The raft made several turns in the canyon, and the underwater reefs were dense and menacing. If it weren't for Boqan's talent frequently activating and quickly disintegrating a giant reef, even Fang Senyan's boat control skills would not have been able to get through.
After continuous difficulties and obstacles, Fang Senyan pushed hard, bracing against the hard, bluish-gray rock wall beside him. He gained enough momentum to push the raft into the correct channel, successfully bypassing the towering cliffs on the left and right, like guardian gods.
Immediately afterward, the river channel widened, and the water flow became gentler. Everything suddenly became clear!
What appeared in front of Fang Senyan and the others was a boundless swamp wetland, with a large number of dense aquatic plants dominating the area. The eye was filled with lush dark green, and a reed-like aquatic plant with pale purple panicles swayed gently in the wind.
Water birds with fiery red feathers could be seen circling and flying from time to time, adding a vibrant color to the blue sky, and even the air was filled with a fresh scent. Looking into the distance, the grassland was vast and boundless, as if the whole world should be like this.
Looking back at this time, they saw a towering plateau rising from the ground, with cliffs at least several thousand meters high, rugged and magnificent, reaching straight into the clouds, giving people an indescribable feeling of reverence.
It turned out that the "plain" where Mushroom Rock was located was part of this plateau. And on the plateau, there were still majestic and winding mountain ranges, making people sigh at the magic of creation and the vastness of the world. It was just that the river where Fang Senyan and the others were located was also very peculiar, running straight through the bottom of the plateau, forcibly cutting out a long scar on the plateau.
"Look over there," William said suddenly. He had always been taciturn and did not talk much, but once he spoke, it had a sense of finality. He was originally a sniper expert, and his eyesight was naturally extraordinary.
There is a saying that is called natural, the closer you are to nature, the more you feel the beauty, the more it is worth appreciating. For example, the * of a woman, the closer it is to the shape of a full moon, the more pleasing it will be. Another example is the breast of a virgin, it must be like the rolling hills of nature.
Everyone looked over in the direction he pointed, and immediately noticed that in the distant purple reed marsh, there seemed to be a slight undulation, which seemed a little out of tune with the entire natural scenery. Looking at it a few more times was very awkward, and at this time, the place that William pointed out immediately made people feel the flaw.
After receiving William's guidance, everyone immediately rushed over and found that there were indeed traces of battle there. The huge footprints of the Slaad Clan were very clear in the mud, and there were traces of ray guns firing nearby, burning out a seven or eight square meter scorched pit in the purple reeds. If it weren't for the fact that this was a wetland, it might have really caused a fire.
"There seems to be something hidden here!" Ronnie was not only incredibly strong in combat, but also first-class in reconnaissance and searching.
But it's no wonder, everyone who could join this team was an exceptionally powerful guy. Among the contractors Fang Senyan had encountered before, probably only Zi and Aziz's abilities reached the threshold for joining this temporary team.
Compared to them, Reef and Mogansha were much inferior, but Reef and Black Bro had extremely powerful equipment to support them - Hedi Kuli only had a silver plot-level shield, and Azisha could only use a highly strengthened dark blue shield - compared with Reef, it was really shabby, so the actual combat power gap between them was not obvious.
At this time, Ronnie had pushed out a raft from the place covered by the purple-eared reeds. This raft looked much simpler than Fang Senyan's, and could only accommodate three to five people. Moreover, the equipment on it was very simple, and there was not even a cup for drinking water, so they could only use broken steel helmets to make do. The knives placed on the raft were also very simple, with unique shapes, and they looked like they were made from steel plates.
"He's not alone, there's at least a collective behind him," Vasily said excitedly. Because he had seen a lot of things tied next to the raft, such as opened gourd ladles, and some killed creatures, etc.
There were also four steel helmets used as cups on the raft, and several pairs of shoes woven from grass, as well as two spare gas masks.
Then they found a temporary camp nearby. In this camp, high-tech things appeared: four Empire-made outdoor sleeping bags. These sleeping bags were much more advanced than the current sleeping bags. They were solar-powered, and not only were they waterproof and heat-insulated on the outside, but they could also defend against bullets and wild animal attacks. After pulling the zipper, they would automatically inflate, dehumidify, adjust the temperature, and so on.
Of course, these sleeping bags were also standard equipment on the exploration spaceship, and Fang Senyan and the others each had one. In the camp, there were still embers of a bonfire, and next to it were some corpses of strange animals, some of which had been skinned and smoked.
Obviously, this group of people was acting together in a group of four, coming here to hunt. Three people went out hunting, and then one person stayed behind to guard the camp. It was estimated that they lacked salt, so they simply cut and smoked the prey here for easy preservation. They estimated that this was their first time hunting here, so they did not expect to attract such terrifying monsters as the Slaad Clan.
"Hahahaha!" Ronnie suddenly laughed wildly. Everyone thought he had gone crazy, but he took out a stone from the sleeping bag and held it in his palm as if it were a treasure. Although this stone was only the size of a coconut, its surface shone with a familiar gray light. Needless to say, just looking at it with your eyes, you knew that this thing must be high-purity barium ore!
By the way, after barium element is extracted, high-purity barium element is very close to the gaseous state, similar to cotton. It seems that what Paul and the others got before was already a highly compressed existence similar to barium crystals, with a high density.
Ronnie's pulverization purifier was taken away by Fang Senyan in a very tragic way, so he could only borrow Hedi Kuli's. As a result, when he monitored it, he found that the content of this ore actually reached an astonishing 13.7%!! It can be said that it has broken the record for the highest known purity of barium ore content. Ronnie immediately refined it, and in the end, he compressed a small piece of barium crystal the size of a fingernail, and his face immediately lit up with joy.
This discovery immediately made everyone's hearts almost heat up, and they more firmly believed that this group of survivors who entered the Upros planet first must have mastered an astonishing amount of barium ore information, and even Fang Senyan also believed it. After all, all kinds of coincidences were superimposed together, which can be said to be ironclad evidence, and people can't help but believe it. What they didn't know was that barium element originally had a calming effect. This high-purity barium ore was just found by a survivor by chance, and he felt that sleeping with this stone next to his pillow was particularly helpful in restoring fatigue...
The group discussed it for a while, and seeing that it was getting dark, and they didn't know where they had gone hunting, they decided to wait here for these survivors to return. Unexpectedly, it was still gone until the sun went down.
An ominous premonition floated in everyone's hearts. Hedi Kuli took the lead and said with a gloomy face:
"These guys might be hunting in this place for the first time. Do you think something might have happened to them?"
D'Artagnan nodded seriously and said:
"It's very possible."
"These idiots..." Azisha also frowned and said, "No, we can't just wait here, we have to take the initiative to track them down. If these three people are all dead, then the clues will be cut off!"
"But how do we track them?" Ronnie said very helplessly: "This place is full of swamps, there is no way to track footprints, and they should have set off in the morning, at least nine hours away from now, and scent tracking is even more unrealistic."
