201 Rescue
201 Rescue
Zhao Weng's convoy travels in the wilderness all year round. It is not uncommon to encounter floods, and he has his own set of ways to deal with them.
Arm-thick chains hang between the vehicles, linking the convoy together.The snow carts lead the way, as long as they don't stray into deep water, the convoy can travel unimpeded in the torrent.
Unfortunately, on the way to Hunter City, the convoy encountered an undercurrent, and the whole team was almost involved in the vortex.In order to avoid the risk, Zhao Weng made a decision, the convoy temporarily changed direction and chose to pass through the delta.
Entering the delta is also not very peaceful. Horrible jellyfish swarms appear one after another, chasing the convoy and surrounding them.These jellyfish are terrifying in size. Once they are entangled by their tentacles, it is impossible to get out easily.
The weapons in the convoy can disperse and kill the mutant beasts, but they are not very good for jellyfish groups.Because of the heavy rain and flood, the doors and windows could not be opened, so everyone could only be trapped in the car, unable to confront the jellyfish swarm.
Zhao Weng tried to give birth to plants, but his strength alone was limited, and the growth speed of plants was far behind the speed of jellyfish gathering. In less than a moment, the entire convoy was surrounded by jellyfish.
Everyone was trapped in the car, and through the torrential rain and flood, they could still hear the creaking sound of the car being squeezed.
Once the car is crushed or cracked, the people in the car will not be able to escape in all likelihood, either buried in the bottom of the river or swallowed by jellyfish.
Zhao Weng was very anxious, but he didn't know who to turn to for help.
The torrential rain flooded the delta. Even though he knew that Ye An lived on an isolated island, there was no Osprey, no means of communication, and he couldn't send the news through the flood.
At the critical moment, vehicles were overturned by jellyfish one after another.
If the iron chains were not strong enough to hold the overturned vehicle firmly, and the doors and windows of the compartment had been reinforced without any damage, the occupants would have been swept away by the flood and would have become prey for jellyfish.
"Zhao Weng, what should we do?"
The two men in the car rushed to the window with anxious faces, gnashing their teeth at the jellyfish entangled outside the window.Several children surrounded Zhao Weng, and the youngest was lying in Zhao Weng's arms, with fear unconsciously showing on his expression.
"Don't be afraid." Zhao Weng comforted the children, spawning a glowing plant on the spot, trying to divert the children's attention.Their expressions seemed calm, but they were as anxious as the men in their hearts. They couldn't think of a way to get rid of the jellyfish. They were destined to be trapped here to death.
At this moment, the man in front of the car window exclaimed: "Zhao Weng, look!"
Hearing the man's voice, Zhao Weng looked up, and through the gaps in the jellyfish's tentacles, he could see huge black shadows penetrating the rain curtain and approaching the convoy quickly.
Those black shadows are too huge, and they look like small islands that move away from the flood.
The man in the car kept swallowing, nervousness, excitement and fear intertwined, constantly washing through his mind.Their hands began to tremble, and they couldn't control the trembling fingertips. They could only clasp their hands and press their fingers hard, trying to suppress their excitement as much as possible, and fixed their eyes on the approaching huge team.
"That's a sea turtle, a group of sea turtles." Zhao Weng was well-informed, and through the increasingly clear outline, he quickly identified who it was.
"Sea turtle?" The men said immediately, "We are saved!"
The children couldn't restrain their curiosity and suppressed their fear, and they gathered together in front of the window, looking through the entangled jellyfish at the behemoth rushing towards them.
Ye An stood on the back of the turtle, condescending, and could clearly see the situation of the convoy.
The members of the convoy were covered by the jellyfish swarm and didn't know Ye An was coming, so they all jumped in front of the window, hoping that the turtle would swallow the jellyfish so that they could escape and find a way out.
The jellyfish knows that the natural enemy is approaching, but they don't want to give up the prey. They are still tightening their tentacles, which may crush the carriage at any time.
The sea turtle paddled its forelimbs, and quickly came to the front, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, bit the prey several meters in length, and ate it like jelly.
No matter whether it is poisonous or not, no matter how toxic it is, any kind of jellyfish is food in front of sea turtles.Hunting only needs simple steps, open your mouth, eat it, and then look for the next one.
The long chain formed by the jellyfish was instantly destroyed, and the jellyfish on the chain fought back, but they were no match for the turtle at all.Even if they wrap around the turtle's body, they can't break the turtle's shell and tear off the stiff skin. Instead, it saves the turtle's strength, and it can swallow it with its neck tilted and its mouth open.
The turtles attacked in turn, and the jellyfish group quickly lost their ability to resist.
A well-fed turtle uses its forelimbs and body to set off water waves, rolling up the scattered jellyfish, forcing them to gather in large numbers, making it easier for their companions to eat.
The two baby turtles are protected and cared for by their fellows, and they don't need to take the initiative to attack. The shredded jellyfish floated to their mouths, enough to feed them.
The swarm of jellyfish that put the convoy in a desperate situation was mostly eaten by sea turtles in the blink of an eye.The rest are scattered and unable to gather on a large scale, which means that they cannot leverage on each other and can only be washed away by the current one after another.
Swarms of jellyfish are extremely threatening, and a large population in the water is no match.
Once the order is placed, the situation is instantly reversed, and the hunter will soon become the prey, torn apart by underwater shellfish, mutated snails, crabs, crayfish and even small fish.
When the crisis was resolved, the team members breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw the huge monster outside the car, their nerves began to tense again.
The group of sea turtles did not leave or chase the scattered jellyfish, but stayed in place and surrounded the convoy.
"Zhao Weng, the turtle..." The man hesitated to speak.Although it has been heard that sea turtles only eat jellyfish, no one can guarantee that these huge mutant beasts will not want to change their taste.
Zhao Weng didn't make a sound, stood in front of the car window, put his hands on the window glass, and stared intently to the left.
He had no chance to sense the turtles eating jellyfish before, but now that the hunting was over, and the familiar breath and energy came, he was [-]% sure that there were mutants among the turtles.
This is the range of the delta, and there will be no mutants who can appear in the delta and walk with sea turtles except Ye An.
Zhao Weng's guess was soon confirmed.
A sea turtle deflects the water and swims up to the convoy.A huge head appeared outside the car window, and the two eyes were like searchlights, but there was no ferocious aura, full of curiosity, and even kindness.
Ye An slid to the edge of the turtle's back, bent down, and waved into the car window.
Following his movements, the lotus leaf on his head slipped off, revealing black hair soaked in rain and a familiar face from everyone in the team.
"Zhao Weng, long time no see."
Zhao Weng smiled. At this moment, he was really relieved, convinced that the convoy was out of danger.
With the help of the turtles, the vehicles were dragged out of the deep water one after another and sent to shallow water.
The iron chain on the car crossed the water surface, causing large ripples and making a rattling sound.
Arriving at the safe area, the doors opened one after another, and everyone greeted Ye An with a smile.
Zhao Weng personally invited Ye An into the car, handed him dry clothes and animal skins, waited for him to dry his hair and the rain on his body, and delivered a bowl of hot soup to him.
"Thank you this time. If it weren't for your help, we would all die here."
Zhao Weng spoke earnestly, and after thanking him, he turned around and took out the animal skin roll, preparing to thank Ye An with the goods he was carrying.
Ye An hinted that Zhao Weng needn't be like this, if he really wanted to thank him, he should actually thank the sea turtles.
"Indeed." Zhao Weng nodded with a smile, took out the ant spar from an animal skin bag, handed it to Ye An, and said, "Please help, convey our thanks."
The sea turtle looks peaceful, but it is actually the overlord of the water, a fierce mutant beast.
Except for Ye An, no one dared to approach these behemoths easily.In case it offends the other party.It is not uncommon to be torn to pieces on the spot.
"Okay." Ye An did not refuse, took the ant spar, got up and came to the car door, waved to the nearby turtle, handed the ant spar over, and conveyed his thanks on behalf of Weng Zhao.
The turtle took the spar and rubbed Ye An with his head.Even though he restrained his strength, Ye An still seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer.
Knowing the reason why the other party made this move, Ye An shook his head helplessly, bent down to pick up the two little turtles near the car door, nodded their heads, and told them that it's okay to be grateful, and stop sending wrong information.Comparing the size of an adult sea turtle, fortunately he is a mutant, otherwise, he would not be able to bear this kind of gratitude.
Seeing Ye An communicate with Hai Turtle, everyone in the team was surprised and felt that it should be so.
Zhao Weng invited Ye An into the car again, and asked if they could be allowed to stay in the delta temporarily until the jellyfish swarm receded.
"I was planning to go to Hunter City, but I didn't expect the jellyfish to explode suddenly." Zhao Weng said.
Hearing Zhao Weng's words, Ye An couldn't help but think of the agreement with Xiao Yun.
Ever since Xiao Yun led the convoy to leave the island, so far, no news has come.This made him a little worried. He didn't know if Xiao Yun would return to Hunter City, or if that city encountered the jellyfish outbreak like Delta and fell into the same trouble.
