Chapter 1573 Advance to the coast
According to Fatu, the human gathering site was built on hills, not far from the coast, with only a simple road leading there. If you want to drive there, you will definitely be stopped on the road.
Another thing that seems normal to the Fetui Ting, but what sounds strange to Zhang Zi'an is that the people living there still maintain the tradition of men farming and women weaving. If you ignore the fully armed security personnel and rare technological equipment, it is like a pastoral era thousands of years ago.
Sometimes when Fatui runs to a place closer to there, stands at a high place, you can see men working hard in the fields, while women are busy raising various poultry and livestock, and the security guards carrying weapons patrolling the outside world with dogs.
"Is anyone trying to escape?" Zhang Zian asked.
Fatu shook his head, "At least I didn't see that those working men and women looked numb and dull, and they could hardly see their smiles, like moving scarecrows."
"There is a power grid... no, is it the barbed wire that prevents them from escaping?" As soon as he said that Fatu may not necessarily know what the power grid is, he changed to a more simple statement.
"No, in my opinion, if they want to run away, it is impossible to stop them by just those supervisors." It replied.
In this way, only those believers who have been brainwashed will be released to work, while those who have no firm beliefs or newcomers will not be released easily.
In addition, Fatui has also seen a boat docking, and it can be speculated that there is a small dock in the shelter of wind, which brings daily necessities that cannot be produced by themselves.
As for why you don’t take the highway, you can only speculate that it is more convenient and hidden to take the sea. You can drive a private yacht from the San Francisco Pier to get there without anyone noticing.
Fatuo only knows the situation, and because it cannot be approached, it does not know more.
Zhang Zian and the elves discussed a little and decided to ask for a guide to the law. In fact, there was no choice now. They have already reached this point, and giving up halfway is not their style.
Fatu raised his head and howled.
Hearing the wolf howl at a distance, Zhang Zian felt like electricity on his back, and the thin and weak current jumped from the tailbone to the back of his head. Perhaps this was the instinctive fear of the wolf howl during the long evolution of human beings.
The group of wolves who were playing heard howl and immediately gathered around Fatui. This natural action and discipline are not comparable to stray dogs, because after the dogs are domesticated, their tendency to live in groups has decreased and they have become more free and scattered.
The wolves roared a few times, and the wolves were scattered in tacit understanding. As the pioneers, they entered the woods in the northwest in a fan shape. The search efficiency and alert range of so many wolves were much better than that of Feimas himself, and the elves were happy to be idle.
Zhang Zi'an went back to get his backpack, and the deer followed carefully.
Although there have been many twists and turns and repetitions along the way, the overall route is still towards the northwest and is getting closer and closer to the coast.
After walking for about an hour, the average height of nearby trees slowly dropped, and the species also changed from dense red shirts and fir to a mix of trees, such as beech, cedar, oak, cypress, maple, black walnut trees, etc. Richard jumped on the ground to find the fallen acorns and walnuts, but it was not yet the season for the fruit to mature, and these were not eaten yet.
At noon, they encountered a small river, with flow and width larger than the streams they had encountered in the past, and at least the depth could be less than the waist of adults. It was dangerous to wading across the river.
They decided to settle lunch here first, and then walk up the river, looking for a shallower and narrower position to cross the river.
Just as Zhang Zi'an was thinking about what the wolves were going to eat for lunch, the young male wolf came back excitedly with a strange prey in his mouth, like an oversized rat. It ran to Fatu and put down his prey like offering treasures. Although it was hungry, the head wolf should enjoy the food first. This is the rule of the wolf pack.
"What's this?"
Fatui has never seen such a strange animal.
It was obviously impossible for the young male wolf to give the answer. Zhang Zian had already recognized it and replied: "This is a beaver."
"Bipperma?"
Fatui sniffed in confusion, and under the threat of a vicious epidemic, it was not sure whether this animal could be eaten safely.
"Well, this is an animal native to South America..." He felt that it didn't necessarily know where South America was, and added: "It's a very far south."
"It's far south?" Fa Tui thought, "that is, the home of this animal is not here?"
"Yes, you can eat it with confidence, because beavers are considered an invasive alien species here and have amazing reproductive capabilities. An adult female beavers can give birth to 200 offspring in a year, and it has become a disaster here, which has formed an ecological disaster."
He picked up the thin branches, pried open the mouth of the bitten corniri, revealing its long and sharp teeth, and said, "Like other rodents, the front teeth of the corniri will grow infinitely, so they always have to eat to grind the teeth. The soft grass leaves and wild fruits obviously do not work to grind the teeth, so they will gnaw the trees."
The beaver in the animation often looks cute when gnawing trees, so many people don’t understand the dangers of beaver. Their efficiency of gnawing trees is comparable to a chainsaw. It’s fine to easily chew a tree with an adult’s thigh from the roots. What’s even more dangerous is that the tree that only chews half of the trunk is gnawed out of a huge gap, leaving only half of it connected to the roots, and may fall down and hit people at any time.
Not only that, honeyves will also dig holes to build nests on river beaches, coasts, and even dams. The seemingly flat river beach may have been riddled with holes.
Nubvers do not pose a disaster in their hometown of South America, because there are crocodiles, pythons, and other carnivorous beasts that limit their populations, but in North America, their natural enemies are only rare wolfs, and coyotes seem to be uninterested in them, causing their numbers to increase wildly uncontrollably.
The beaver, which was taken by the young male wolf, had a smooth and brown fur, and looked very plump, weighing almost ten pounds.
As they were talking, other wolves also brought back several equally fat nutria. It seemed that they had just collaborated to destroy a beaver's nest and brought all the beaver's family over.
"Okay, since that's the case... let's eat together?" Fapi invited seriously.
"Well……"
Zhang Zian was about to refuse, but turned around and saw that Fina and the others seemed to be interested in this fat rodent, so they had to bite the bullet and agree.
