According to Fati, the human gathering point was built on the hills, not far from the coast, and there was only a simple road leading there. If one wanted to drive there, they would definitely be stopped on the road.
The other one seemed normal to the Fati, but what Zhang Zian found strange was that the people living there still maintained the tradition of men farming and women weaving. If the fully armed security guards and rare technology equipment were ignored, it was like the idyllic era thousands of years ago.
Sometimes, Fati would run to a place closer to the village and stand on a high place. From there, one could see the men working hard in the fields, the women busy raising all kinds of poultry and domestic animals, and the security guards carrying weapons patrolling the periphery with dogs.
“Is someone trying to escape?” Zhang Zian asked.
Fati shook his head.”At least, I didn’t see those men and women who were working. Their expressions were numb and dull. I almost couldn’t see them smile. They were just like moving farmers.”
“There’s a power grid … No, a barbed wire to prevent them from escaping?” As soon as he said that, he realized that the law might not know what a power grid was, so he changed to a simpler way of saying it.
“No. In my opinion, if they wanted to escape, those supervisors wouldn’t be able to stop them.” It replied.
In that case, only the believers who had been deeply brainwashed would be released to work. Those who did not have strong beliefs or were new would not be released easily.
In addition, Fati had also seen ships docking at the shore. It could be inferred that there was a small dock at the shelter, where daily necessities that could not be produced by themselves were delivered.
As for why they didn’t take the road, it could only be speculated that it was more convenient and covert to take the sea route. Driving a private yacht from the San Francisco Pier would get them here without anyone knowing.
That was all the French deduction knew about the situation. Since it could not get close, it did not know more.
Zhang Zian and the Elfins had a little discussion and decided to Ask the Law to lead the way. They didn’t have much of a choice now. They had already come this far, and it wasn’t their style to give up halfway.
Fati raised his head and let out a long howl.
Hearing the Wolf’s howl at such a close distance, Zhang Zian felt as if an electric current had passed through his back. The weak current ran from his tailbone to the back of his head. Perhaps this was the instinctive fear of the Wolf’s howl that humans had developed during the long process of evolution.
When the frolicking wolves heard the howl, they immediately gathered around Fati. This kind of natural action and discipline was not comparable to that of stray dogs. After dogs were domesticated, their tendency to live in groups decreased, and they became more free and undisciplined.
Fati growled a few times, and the Wolf Pack spread out tacitly. As the vanguard, they fanned out and entered the forest in the Northwest. With so many wolves, the search efficiency and alert range were much better than famous ‘s, and the elves were happy to be idle.
Zhang Zian went back to get his backpack, and the herd of deer cautiously followed behind him.
Although there had been many twists and turns along the way, the overall route was still inclined towards the Northwest, getting closer and closer to the coast.
After walking for about an hour, the average height of the nearby trees slowly decreased. The trees had also changed from dense red shirts and cold fir trees to a variety of trees, such as beech, Cedar, oak, Cypress, maple, black walnut, and so on. Richard was jumping around on the ground looking for fallen acorns and walnuts, but it was not the season for the fruits to ripen yet, so they were not edible.
At noon, they came across a small river. The flow and width of the river were greater than the small rivers they had come across in the past. The depth of the river was at least the waist of an adult, so it was dangerous to cross the river.
They decided to have lunch here first, and then go upstream along the river to find a shallower and narrower position to cross the river.
Just as Zhang Zian was wondering what the wolves were going to eat for lunch, the young male wolf came back with a strange prey in his mouth, like a super large rat. It ran in front of Fati and put down its prey as if it was presenting a treasure. Although it was hungry, the alpha Wolf should enjoy the food first. This was the rule of the Wolf Pack.
“What is this?”
Fati had never seen such a strange animal before.
The young male wolf obviously couldn’t tell him the answer, but Zhang Zian had already recognized it, so he replied,””This is a Beaver.”
“Beaver rat?”
Fati sniffed doubtfully. Under the threat of the evil plague, it was not sure if the animal could be eaten safely.
Yes, this is an animal native to South America …”He felt that it might not know where South America was, so he added,” “It’s in the South, far, far away.”
“Far south?” The Dharma idol thought for a moment.”In other words, this animal’s home is not here?”
“Yes, you can eat it without worry because Beaver rats are considered an invasive species here. Their reproductive ability is amazing. An adult female Beaver can give birth to 200 offspring in a year. It has become a disaster here and has become an ecological disaster.”
He picked up a thin branch and pried open the mouth of the dead beaver rat, revealing its long and sharp teeth. He said,””Just like other rodents, the front teeth of Beaver mice can grow indefinitely, so they always eat things to grind their teeth. Soft grass and wild fruits obviously can’t grind their teeth, so they eat trees.”
In the animation, the way the Beaver gnawed at the tree was often quite cute, so many people did not understand the danger of the Beaver. Its gnawing efficiency was comparable to that of a chainsaw. It could easily gnaw a tree that was as thick as an adult’s thigh from the root. It was not a big deal if it really gnawed off the tree. What was more dangerous was the kind of tree that was only half gnawed. The trunk had a huge gap, and only the other half was connected to the root. It could fall down and hit people at any time.
Not only that, but Beaver rats would also dig holes and build their nests on the riverbank, the coast, and even beside dams. The seemingly flat riverbank may have been dug into thousands of holes.
Beaver rats did not pose a disaster in their hometown, South America, because there were crocodiles, pythons, and other carnivorous beasts in South America that limited their number. But in North America, their natural enemy was the scarce Wolf, and coyotes seemed to be uninterested in them, causing their number to increase uncontrollably.
The Beaver that was brought here by the young male wolf had a smooth brown fur. It looked very fat and weighed about ten pounds.
As they were talking, other wolves also brought back several fat Beaver rats. It seemed that they had just destroyed a Beaver’s nest and brought its whole family here.
“Alright, in that case … Let’s eat together?” Fati invited him seriously.
“Uh …”
Zhang Zian was about to decline, but when he turned his head, he saw that fina and the rest seemed to be very interested in these fat rodents, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.
