Chapter 9: Evolution and Adaptation
Although Chu Hao had made some plans, he did not deliberately look for those gathering places. The most important thing at present is to create hot air balloons first, which is the most important thing at present.
In fact, Chu Hao was just busy making hot air balloons. Only he knew so many things here, whether it was the manufacturing steps or various design drawings, such as the engine, the hull of the hot air balloon, etc., which he only understood. Others could help organize the materials at most, but thanks to his magic, the mage's hand was extremely useful at this time. The people next to him only saw various materials flying back and forth, and soon, a hull structure was built.
This is just a temporary means of transportation, and Chu Hao did not make it very tightly. In fact, hot air balloons themselves are very unreliable means of transportation. Especially when encountering high air flow, hot air balloons may have problems, and directional flight is also extremely inconvenient. However, this is just an ordinary situation. If magic is assisted, then there is no problem with the hot air balloons as temporary means of flying transportation.
In this way, under Chu Hao's manufacturing, it took only one morning and half an afternoon to build a simple hot air balloon spacecraft. Although the spacecraft seemed to be randomly pieced together, it was successfully launched during Chu Hao's test flight... Of course, it was another matter whether everyone dared to take it...
"...Chu Hao, captain, you really want us to board this one. It is obviously a Bangbang hot air balloon made by Oak Green Skin, right?" Zhang Heng looked like he was stepping on the hot air balloon and said to Chu Hao.
"Bangbang hot air balloon? Green skin manufacturing? Are you referring to the goblin technology in World of Warcraft?" Chu Hao ignored Zhang Heng and boarded the deck of the hot air balloon, saying casually as he walked.
Before Zhang Heng could speak, Tom next to him had already said first: "No way? Brother Chu Hao has never played this game? Such a famous Warhammer 40K, one of the races inside is the green-skinned barbarian creatures, the Oak tribe. They like to use a lot of parts and garbage to create various creations that can be used. The shape is... it is really a bit like the hot air balloon you made... It really won't fall off?"
At this moment, not only Zhang Heng and Tom were alone, but the others also looked at Chu Hao with strange expressions. Even the Valona green jelly expressed doubts with grunts. Chu Hao could only explain helplessly: "The main structure is absolutely solid. Even if it cannot pass the wind speed test, in fact, we do not need to pass the wind speed test. First of all, I will use magic to block the high-air flow speed. Secondly, the reason I chose the hot air balloon is because the hot air balloon itself does not rely on aerodynamic power to climb and fly high altitude. Its lifting power comes from hot air, so it only needs to be solid. When using magic, it will never disintegrate at high altitude. I can guarantee this."
Chu Hao's reputation is pretty good, so when he said this, everyone let go of some doubts and followed him onto the hot air balloon spacecraft. Next, Chu Hao took out the high-energy fuel exchanged from the main god. This is the fuel produced by the main god, a solid piece of matchbox size, burned enough to allow the hot air balloon spacecraft to fly for more than 24 hours. Moreover, the things in the main god are not expensive. The solid fuel he exchanged is enough to support the hot air balloon spacecraft to travel around the world. Moreover, the main power system of the entire hot air balloon spacecraft is either prepared by the rebels in reality or directly exchanged by the main god. This type of building materials are very cheap. So although this hot air balloon spacecraft looks ragged and seems to be falling apart at any time, in fact, its core part is a high-tech creation, and it is a very exquisite high-tech creation.
Soon, the hot air balloon rose up. Although the travel speed was not very fast, at least not as good as the plane, it was ignored by the terrain and the wind speed could not affect the hot air balloon itself due to magic, so the speed was relatively fast, and the travel direction was naturally directed to New York. However, it was a coincidence that the direction of travel was the same as the direction where the fire was discovered yesterday. Maybe you might encounter some clues when you flew around.
But there is little gossip. When the hot air balloon flies northeastward and the terrain is getting higher, this is the Appalachian Mountains in the United States, one of the two major mountain ranges in the United States. According to the original plot of the movie, this kind of mutant likes warmth and fears cold. The last place for human survivors to gather is concentrated in the plateau area. This mountain range may really have human gathering points.
Because on the hot air balloon, everyone is no longer afraid of the arrival of darkness. After dusk, they are interested in scanning the ground with their mental power. There are many cities and towns along the way. The number of mutants is actually very large. Although it is much less than that of humans, people have seen at least millions of these mutants along the way. These mutants eat everything, from plant tuber to plant branches and leaves, to various insects, animal corpses, fish, or directly hunting animals. It can be said that except for stones, other organisms basically catch whatever they catch. This is actually related to their rapid metabolism. Such a fast metabolism is really a huge energy consumption, which has both advantages and disadvantages, giving them huge strength and speed, and superhuman-like physical fitness, and at the same time they will inevitably worry about food.
In fact, during the flight, people also discovered many living habits of this mutant through mental scanning, which were not mentioned in the plot of the movie. For example, their killings between them were like gangsters robbing territory. Hundreds of mutants fought against hundreds of other mutants because of hunting problems, and they were real battles, killing dozens of mutants. These corpses were dragged back and eaten by the mutants, without any slightest.
Any concerns, but they seem to be not pure beasts, and there are really very few organizational structures. For example, hundreds or thousands of mutants gather together to form a not-complex team. The team will not attack each other, but there will be one or several of the strongest mutants, with the largest strength and the fastest speed. They prefer to enjoy food and often rarely take action when hunting, similar to the lion among lions, but they will only take action when fighting between mutants.
Moreover, when mutants hunt, they often use screaming to maintain a primitive team hunting method, driving large groups of animals to a certain place, and then lying in ambush there to encircle. Although the physical fitness of mutants is far superior to that of humans, when they really run long distances on the plains, they are still not as good as animals. Therefore, this ambush team hunting is the best way for them to obtain a large amount of prey. From this we can see that they are actually equivalent to the intelligence level of creatures such as wolves, but they are definitely not yet primitive, because they do not have any tools or tools, and even sharp stones do not have them, they hunt entirely on their bodies.
These mutants are indeed constantly evolving. Perhaps if this continues, one day they will become new intelligent creatures on this earth and become the masters of this earth instead of humans. However, this may be a million years later.
At the same time, along the way, people have rarely discovered several super-large mutant teams. The number of these super-large mutant teams is at least about tens of thousands. There are generally extremely abundant food reserves around this type of super-large mutant gathering point, such as rivers, lakes, or large corn fields left by human civilization in the past. This is how many people can provide such a large number of mutant teams. What makes everyone most wary of is that among these super-large mutant teams, at least one of the mutant people has become the leader. The leader of this super-large mutant team is far larger than that of ordinary mutants. Their height is at least three to four meters, and the largest ones have seen
A mutant's team relies on a large cornfield and a river, and rich fish resources. Those cornfields were former economic fields. Such a large-scale field often supports the entire continent and even the country. Therefore, more than 80,000 mutants gathered together in this team, and the leader was more than six meters tall. Compared with ordinary mutants, he was simply a real giant creature with great power. During the mental scan of everyone, he saw with his own eyes that the leader directly pulled out the steel bars of a tall building like a toothpick, twisted it into a twist, threw it into his mouth and chewed it so hard. When he spit out his mouth, the steel slag actually formed wind pressure and crashed through several buildings at the speed of sound...
This super mutant looks like a real superhuman creature!
If this strongest mutant is, if he is allowed to get close to him, he may even kill the Arctic team!
This is really terrifying. When she saw this super mutant, the entire team was silent, and even Nian Xikong looked solemn. Afterwards, Nian Xikong also said that this super mutant had naturally dispersed his strength throughout his body according to instinct, and was born with divine power to protect his body. With that already tough body, even her sword move could only be three points into her body. Unless she was directly using a big killer like Jianwan, she would have to fight to know whether she could defeat this super mutant.
After this encounter, everyone who didn't care much about the mutants was vigilant in their hearts. You know, it's just a day when they have only found several such super mutants, one of which is enough to match Nian Xikong. The whole world is so big, I'm afraid that there will be a mutant who is stronger than this super mutant. That way, will it become an attacking giant?
At the moment, everyone's heart is heavy, especially Tom and Zhang Heng. In fact, they have already guessed Chu Hao's plan in this horror movie world, that is, to redeem this world, authority... that's a good thing, but now they know that the world is so deep... can it be really successful to redeem it?
Chu Hao was speechless along the way. Although he felt a little heavy in his heart, he was still thinking about something else. When the hot air balloon passed the super mutant, the super mutant seemed to look up several times. Could it be... it can also scan the mental power, or can't the mental power sense?
Moreover, I have seen these mutant creatures hunting several times during the journey. If you think about it carefully, they have no language at all and no communication, but they have a different order... Could it be that these mutants still have telepathic communication?
If this is true, many things will need to be reconsidered...
And just as Chu Hao was so thoughtful and the rest of the people were in their hearts, suddenly, when the hot air balloon flew over the sky, looking from above and down, in that mountainous area, a large area of slightly gentle mountainous areas, a faint fire appeared...
A gathering place for humans!
