Chapter 130 Discovery of Human Traces
Hearing Li Lanjuan say that, Yufei did feel a little relieved, and only then did she seriously pay attention to the girl next to her.
As expected of the person Grandpa Zhu carefully chose for her, this girl is even younger than she was in her previous life. She seems carefree, but she is actually a very thoughtful girl.
Sometimes, that's how fate works. Some people may spend years together and still not get along, while others you know at first glance will become good friends.
Yufei felt the second way about Liu Lanjuan; she liked the girl.
"Sister Juan, you're so kind!" Yufei praised her sincerely, making the usually carefree Juanzi blush.
He quickly changed the subject, "Comrade Yufei, what are our plans next?"
"Just call me Yufei. We need to search as quickly as possible to see if we can find any traces of humanity. Our radiation-protective spray won't last long."
Yufei also got into work mode and talked to Juanzi.
Li Lanjuan nodded and started the car, saying...
"Well, we don't know much about this world, and we don't have a detailed map, so we can only try our luck. Yufei, you can point us in a direction!"
"Let's head east! There's an old saying in our Great Xia Dynasty: 'Auspicious purple clouds come from the east.' Let's hope the east will bring us good fortune!"
Yufei thought for a moment and said to Juanzi, and Juanzi didn't say anything more and drove in the direction Yufei indicated.
When the two of them reached the front of the car, their leader Lei Jun told Juanzi that she would drive for a while, and Lei Jun would come over to relieve her later.
They traveled eastward, passing through barren land and endless yellow sand, without a single trace of green. They felt only one thing about this place: the twilight of their lives.
They even thought it was a barren planet and doubted whether life existed on this world, but Yufei told them that life did exist on this world.
They believed everything Yufei said! After driving for 4.5 hours in this vast desert without seeing any signs of life...
Yufei wasn't in a hurry anymore. If all else failed, she could just "buy" more sunscreen spray from Long Baobao! She'd already bought it once, so she wouldn't feel so bad about spending the second time.
Yufei couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had collected quite a few new species into her space that day because she felt the ocean was too empty; otherwise, she really wouldn't have supported her spending so extravagantly.
She invited Juanzi, Lei Jun, and the others to have something to eat.
"Judging by the sun's position, it's probably noon right now. After lunch, we'll go full speed ahead."
Try to find a place to rest and stay before dark, even if you can't find any human traces. I have a feeling that it's best not to spend the night in this desert.
Yufei moistened her throat with water, glanced at the sky, and said...
One of the soldiers, who was slightly fairer-skinned than the others, pinched some soil on the ground and then sniffed it.
He looked around, and after their food was ready, he returned to them, eating and talking.
"Let's head that way," he said, pointing southeast to Yufei and the others.
"Okay!" Lei Jun agreed without asking the man why.
Yufei was actually very curious about why, but she was too embarrassed to ask, wondering if it would make her seem uncultured.
Lei Jun noticed Yufei's hesitant expression and said to the man from before...
"Huang Zi, tell Yu Fei about your observations."
Upon hearing Lei Jun's words, Qi Huang quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and began to explain to Yu Fei.
"I just took a look and noticed that this place is a bit different from where we parked before. I can smell urine."
It's not very concentrated, extremely faint! There must have been some kind of marking here by some organism. Then I observed the surrounding loess; the loess in the southeast direction was a bit more compact than the other soil.
And I took a sniff, and sure enough, the urine smell was stronger there than in other places. Not only that, I also detected several different urine odors.
I suspect a group of animals passed through here. Sorry, Yufei, I might have been a little rude.
After Qi Huang finished speaking, he suddenly realized they were eating and wondered if it was impolite to talk about needing to pee. He apologized to Yu Fei.
"It's alright! Brother Huang, I'm not one to stand on ceremony. I'll just say what I mean. But I really have to say, your nose is incredibly sensitive."
Yufei looked at Qi Huang with admiration and said that this nose was comparable to her own nose, which had been modified by the spatial dimension. She hadn't noticed it until Qi Huang mentioned it.
Hearing him say that, she could indeed smell a faint odor of urine! There was life in it! That's great! The weight on Yufei's heart finally lifted.
After they finished eating, they buried the fire on the spot, packed up their equipment, and headed southeast, as Huang Zi had indicated.
The car sped up, and gradually a hint of green appeared on the ground, but the green vegetation all seemed to be tinged with a layer of gray, a dull, grayish hue.
However, Yufei was still very excited. Seeing green meant there was life there. They drove for almost half an hour.
More and more green plants are appearing, and although they haven't completely covered the entire loess land in green, they are still a pleasant sight to behold.
They did see some creatures as they had hoped, but these creatures looked very strange: a three-headed cow, a two-headed dog, a three-tailed cat, a pig with fleshy wings, and some creatures that Yufei couldn't name.
These creatures all have a few things in common: they are all very large and have very bad tempers.
How do we know they have a bad temper? Just look at the car with a dented corner and the animals relentlessly chasing them!
Yufei marveled at how sturdy the products made in their Great Xia Dynasty were; their car had almost been overturned by those big vehicles, yet it only had a small dent on one corner!
They chased them for about ten miles, then, whether realizing they couldn't catch them or something else, they gradually stopped and gave up.
Yufei breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the creatures they were gradually abandoning.
"Huh? Why did you stop?" Yufei, sitting in the back of the car, noticed the car had stopped and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know," Juanzi shook her head. They all exchanged glances and went downstairs.
"What's wrong? Boss Lei Jun?" Yufei now calls their leader "boss" along with them.
"Huang Zi told us to stop the car; he wanted to get out and check out the surroundings," Lei Jun and Yu Fei said.
"Boss, there are signs of activity here. There should be someone nearby," Huang Zi said as he approached them.
Lei Jun frowned, looking troubled.
Yufei was puzzled. Shouldn't she be happy to see traces of human activity? Why did Lei Jun look so troubled?
