Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 30 The Changed Beast Tide

After hearing Captain Su's voice, Wu Ou also chose to 'slowly wake up'.

"Master Wu, how did you end up with my hunting party, and even charged right up to the pack leader by yourself? Do you know how important someone like you is to the entire base?!"

Seeing that Wu Ou had regained consciousness, Captain Su spoke up.

"Captain Su, I've found something, something very important." Wu Ou, still looking somewhat weak, grabbed his arm.

"Is there anything you have to say here? I'll arrange for a plane to take you back to base." Captain Su frowned slightly as he watched his actions.

"This leader of the beast pack shouldn't be here." Wu Ou seemed to have recovered a bit and said a complete sentence in one breath.

"What do you mean by that?" Captain Su didn't understand at all. "Are you saying that this mutated deer, a leader-level creature, migrated from somewhere else? Is that impossible?"

Wu Ou shook his head. "It's not migration, it's advancement. It has advanced from an ordinary mutated deer to a leader-level deer."

Of course, it also escaped.

"For it to advance, there must be immense pressure to survive, especially considering it was forced to migrate here..."

Wu Ou had already said so much, and Captain Su wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the meaning behind it.

This leader-level mutated deer was driven here by an even more powerful mutated beast!

Even though deer are not at a high level in the animal food chain.

However, those who can reach the level of a leader are not much weaker.

If someone with such strength could only be forced to flee to a place that is not very suitable for them to live in, then the being that drove them here must be incredibly powerful!

The situation of the deer herd leader was not something Wu Ou made up; it was discovered through examining its source crystal.

Of course, this is also a reasonable deduction based on the events experienced before the rebirth.

Based on the situation before his rebirth, this should be the moment when the Elephant Beast King began to gather source energy beasts, preparing to launch an attack on the northern base.

But since that beast king is dead, he is very curious about whether a new beast king will launch a beast tide or whether the beast tide will just pass.

Another point is that I've gotten a bit tired of being a bookworm lately, so I decided to get out and stretch my muscles.

If you can kill one or two source energy beasts of level one strength, you can also obtain their source crystals to improve your strength.

During this period, through repeated use of his superpowers to continuously consume source energy, his source energy level and control over his superpowers also continuously improved.

It's already vaguely clear that it's approaching the threshold of the mid-level stage!

You should know that in the previous life before rebirth, when I reached this point, it was already the period of large-scale development of the ruins.

While it's not quite like catching the last train, it's definitely not like riding the wave of opportunity.

His original plan was to conduct a covert investigation and only intervene when the hunting party encountered real danger.

But when he saw the appearance of this level one energy deer leader, he knew that some of the situations he was worried about had occurred, so he took the initiative to reveal his identity to investigate.

And the result was just as he expected!

While Wu Ou remained silent, Captain Su was also pondering the words he had just spoken.

If a more powerful mutated beast drives the deer herd leader to this area, will the other side drive even more mutated beasts over?

Will he come over himself?

Could they attack the human base in the north?

During this period, people continued to arrive at the northern base from all over the country. From the information they collected, there didn't seem to be any large-scale migration of mutated beasts or any information about the appearance of exceptionally powerful mutated beasts!

Is this true or false?

For a moment, he was unsure how to handle the clue brought by Wu Ou.

On the other side, without the leader of the deer herd, and with the superior firepower of the aircraft in the sky, these energy deer were like fish constantly jumping out of the water in a fishing net.

It seems like they've found a path to "freedom," but in reality, it's a slow death.

Finally, with the last young energy deer killed, the hunt against the deer herd came to a successful conclusion.

"Report! A total of 321 mutated deer have been successfully hunted!" A guard ran over to report to Captain Su.

"Great! Get it done quickly and load it onto the truck!" Captain Su couldn't help but smile when he heard the good news.

With such a large quantity of meat, the base can at least last for another ten days or so.

After all, not to mention that each of these mutated beasts produces much more meat than normal, just considering the nutrition, a piece the thickness of a middle finger is enough to meet the daily nutritional needs of many ordinary people.

The meat from a single ordinary mutant deer, when boiled into a soup and served with other side dishes, can meet the daily nutritional needs of 10,000 people.

This is under the premise that the base needs to meet the daily nutritional needs of an average person. If it were just for filling one's stomach, one pot of meat soup could feed about 15,000 people.

However, for those who have reached the fifth level of strength and awakened their source energy, such a pot of soup can only barely feed a few thousand people.

Even for someone with a level one strength, all the meat from a deer can only satisfy the basic hunger needs of ten people for one day.

After returning to the base with the team, Wu Ou was brought before Coach Li.

When Coach Li learned that a talented person like Wu Ou had managed to sneak out with the hunting team, he was extremely anxious.

But after hearing that he had important news, she calmed down and waited for his answer.

"Can you explain it clearly now?" Coach Li crossed his fingers and placed his arms flat on the table, forming an arrow-like shape.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Wu Ou's changing expression.

"Coach Li, I'm telling the truth. A powerful mutated beast is about to appear, potentially triggering a massive mutated beast horde that will attack the base!"

According to Wu Ou's assessment, the other party was following a different path from the elephant beast king in his memory.

The Elephant Beast King gathers powerful source energy beasts from the surrounding area to form a beast tide.

This is achieved by constantly driving away other source energy beasts to create a beast tide.

Between the two, Wu Ou believes the latter is more threatening. After all, if it can't be found, who knows how many more energy beasts it will drive to the vicinity of the northern base!

Coach Li opened his hands and tapped his fingers on the table.

Suddenly he took out a map from the drawer and a pencil, and started connecting the marked locations on the map.

Wu Ou naturally noticed this as well, and following the other person's train of thought, his gaze quickly moved to the east.

"That's over there..."

"Yes! In the direction of Beijiang, what kind of mutated beast do you think it might be, if possible?"

Wu Ou looked up and met Coach Li's expectant gaze.
