Chapter 174 Bloody Storm

It's a green island, but only green...

The whole island, Lin has observed, where Lin landed is the north side, here is a white sandy beach, then a green field covered with moss, there are leafworms and a kind of spiny ball on it, and then a dry wasteland, Finally, there is a jungle, and then there is a cliff that touches the sea.

This island is relatively small compared to what Lin initially expected. The island is semicircular and only about 30 kilometers in size.

And the biggest problem is... Lin, the large animal on the island, only saw two large lizards and a nest of small lizards.

In fact, there are very few small ones. Occasionally, some beetle larvae can be found under the bark, but there are no adults here at all. Now there are only two lizards. Lin named them 'sound lizards' because they will take turns Run out and knock on rocks.

This question is what Lin wants to know the most. According to the footprints of creatures, many creatures have fled to the cliff behind the forest, and then the traces disappeared here.

Did they jump into the sea?

About a dozen days and nights have passed since the animals here left. It is difficult to confirm where they will swim if they enter the sea, and whether they are alive or not, but Lin still decided to investigate.

Bechymos released a reaper, which is currently Lin's fastest flying unit. Because it is too big, it is not easy to manufacture. Bechymos has brought three from the beginning. It will search the nearby sea area, see See if there are any other islands nearby, maybe the animals will congregate on a nearby island if there is no landing target. Then what is the difference between jumping like this and dying?

To this. The brainworm rolling on the soft moss delivered its statement: "The creature escapes. The jungle is silent, disaster is coming, here, there will be disaster, unknown, disaster."

Sure enough, the brain worm thinks so too, but what kind of disaster is it? I am also very interested in this brain bug.

Although the head worm can extract the memory of the 'sound lizard' to see what will happen, but forget it. If there were only two of them left, killing one would almost equate to extinction.

Lin asked the harvester to look around the island first, then fly through the jungle, follow the direction of the footprints of "jumping into the sea" and search the sea to see if there are any islands or other places where creatures can take refuge.

The speed of the Reaper is extremely fast, and its eyesight has been specially adjusted to adapt to this high-speed state. At the same time, it can observe a considerable distance. The field of vision is basically more than 7 kilometers. In the vast sea, it can quickly find any strange things. .

The Reaper skims across the sea.

The sea here is calm, and I haven't seen any islands or anything.

While the Reapers continue to look for things. Lin also let the troops enter the island, and the bombers and Behemoth flew over the jungle of the island, where Lin released some of the few creatures that were still with her, like lizards, etc. The environment here is very good, just Let them live here.

Before that, Lin must solve the biggest problem here...

The headworm said that it also likes this place very much. It said that it wants to keep rolling on the white sandy beach under the sun. If there is a barbecue, it will be even happier...

Lynn thinks it might get tired of the animal-free island soon, and the sun might be gone soon too...

'boom……'

The Reaper flew about three kilometers away from the island. There was no island to be seen from this distance, but Lin saw something else... a large black area mixed with roaring sounds.

The tumbling dark clouds matched the thunder and lightning, and the strong wind was constantly roaring at the same time. The powerful energy caused the sea to churn and rush, and a huge whirling towered in the darkness. Contrast with the night.

It was...a storm with a tornado in it.

This sea storm is advancing slowly, and it will reach the island where Darlene is now in about a few thousand seconds. It seems that this range may sweep the entire island, causing the island to be plunged into strong winds and rain.

Could this ocean storm be the cause of the animals' escape? Obviously impossible.

The storm wasn't very strong, and Lin felt that even if the storm was strong enough to sink the entire island, it wouldn't allow so many animals to escape from the island. In comparison, it was obviously more dangerous to jump into the sea.

What is the reason?

No matter so much, let the troops on the island prepare for the storm first, Lin let the predators return, Behemoth and the bombers landed on the plains of the island, and at the same time began to assemble some tough Hook the rope, hook each flying unit to the ground, so that no unit will be blown away, and at the same time, Lin also brought the headworm back into Behemoth.

The next step is to wait.

A few thousand seconds is not very long. When the storm approached, the trees in the forest on the edge of the island had already begun to whistle, and a large number of broken leaves were blown into the sky, while the sound lizard was still beating the stones in the island, It seems that he has been unwilling to give up this action.

What is it that makes it so persistent to make that sound? Normally a creature would risk all of its life only when these three things happened—reproducing, eating, and being cornered.

It is obviously impossible to knock on the stone for the first two kinds. Is that the last one? Maybe the escaped animals on other islands are the same...

Lin wanted to know more and more why they behaved like this. Apart from reproduction, the only extreme fear would make creatures on land risk their lives and jump into the sea, or knock stones in front of a powerful storm...

'boom'!

Violent thunder roared over the island, and violent winds galloped through the jungle until the sound of the stone was covered up. The sound lizard finally gave up beating on the stone and quickly fled back to its lair in the jungle.

Has the storm finally come...

Lin placed a lot of eyeballs and tentacles in the jungle to stick to the tree trunks to observe the impact of the storm. After the storm approached, Lin felt a very strange feeling...

In this storm, there is a strange smell, it smells like... carrion?

The Reapers saw this storm from a few kilometers away before. Because the distance was too far, the Reapers had almost no sense of smell, so they didn’t notice it very much. However, the observing eyeballs and tentacles had a full set of sensory organs, so they could clearly see the storm. learned.

The storm was mixed with a rotten smell, like a draft of corpses.

It's an odd feeling.

The eyeballs standing on the branches in the jungle are constantly shaking under the strong airflow of the storm. Lin can clearly feel that there are many small impurities mixed in the wind and rain. It was dirt or something, but some off-white debris, combined with this smell, it might be the debris of bones, and pieces of meat.

The storm raged over the jungle. After sweeping through the entire jungle, it moved to the northern plains. Because the power was not very strong, it did not cause much damage to the trees here. In fact, the power of the storm has been decreasing. Compared with the reaper It was much weaker when seen at sea, and the tornado seemed to dissipate without making landfall.

Seeing that the storm had passed, the sound lizard ran out to knock the stones again.

It really looks like it's about to be knocked to death.

Lin made some eye tentacles jump down the tree, and they looked for the ground, and Lin found quite a lot of strange debris.

These debris were brought by the storm, and they were basically irregular pieces several centimeters in size. After decomposing, Lin found that the ingredients inside were indeed meat, most of which were reptile meat and skeletons, and some arthropods carapace fragments.

So, there were indeed a lot of corpses mixed in this storm, and then these corpses were smashed in the wind, turning into a lot of minced meat and sprinkled on the island?

It is true that the tornado might have rolled some things into the sky, and when it reached the island, it seemed that the wind weakened, and the meat was scattered on the island.

That being said... Could it be that these corpses are creatures that escaped from the island?

Now, the storm was already approaching the troops of Behemoth and the bombers on the plain, and under the smell of so many troops, the smell in the wind was even more obvious.

Moreover, there were still a lot of fragments constantly hitting Behemoth. As the wind became weaker and weaker, more and more fragments fell on the island.

In the end, the storm did not last until it crossed the plain, but after a period of time, its power gradually decreased, and finally dissipated over the plain.

The dark clouds receded slowly, the sky returned to daytime brightness again, and everything calmed down...

The island after the storm has hardly changed, except that the ground has been soaked by rain, and there are many small...debris.

These fragments were scattered on the ground, exuding a lot of corpse smell, but compared to the general corpse smell, it was already very weak. Lin released the predator again to collect these things on the ground for detailed analysis.

After decomposing the fragments of the corpses blown by the wind, Lin found that there were quite a lot of different species, probably more than a dozen species of creatures were mixed in, but there seemed to be fewer large creatures.

Could it be that after they ran off the island, they died collectively somewhere, and then the corpses were blown back to the island by the storm?

This is the only possibility.

Lin intends to let the harvesters continue to fly out of the island to investigate, and continue to search to see if there are any islands where creatures gather.

This time, the Reaper rushed towards the direction of the storm at the fastest speed. After flying across an ocean, Lin saw an island. This island was very small, only about two hundred meters long, and a hundred meters The width of the above is a barren, only gravel and rocks, and... some corpses. (to be continued...)
