"No way, Brother Lu. How are we supposed to bring back such a huge giant bee? You want to bring back a live one for research?"
"We can make a net out of vines to carry it back. It shouldn't be a problem," Lu Heng pondered for a moment and said.
"Then I'll help clean up the stuff on the plane here. Besides, it'll be dark by the time we're done. Let's go take a look there tomorrow."
"Okay. I'll find a guard tower to reinforce later. We'll sleep on the ground tonight." The smell below was too unbearable, and Lu Heng didn't want to return to the underground space.
Without understanding those giant bees, it wasn't suitable to provoke them yet. Judging from the situation just now, the giant bees were very sensitive. If they approached the giant bees' territory, they would easily be discovered. This was something they needed to plan for.
There were some buildings in the base on the ground, and there were even two large warehouses for parking so many planes.
There were also many places for the original soldiers to live and work on the ground. However, Lu Heng only found a small guard tower to use as their sleeping quarters for the night.
After clearing out the messy items inside the guard tower, Lu Heng also sealed the broken doors and windows on the first floor with mud walls.
Outside the building, he wrapped the entire guard tower with a layer of vines. The windows on the second floor were also sealed with vines. Later, they could just climb up to the second floor using the vine ladder and sleep there for the night.
If Lu Heng were going out alone, he could just go back to his space to rest. Bringing Lin Yu along made things a bit inconvenient.
After doing all this, Lu Heng summoned the antelope from his space and placed it on the first floor. He still needed to go out and collect those supplies. He planned to have the antelope keep watch at night, so if anything touched the vines outside, the antelope could sense it immediately.
Soon, the sky outside gradually darkened. They had been busy for a long time, and he and Lu Heng returned to the prepared guard tower to rest.
"You sleep on that bed." Although the space here was a bit small, they could still fit two single beds.
Sitting on the soft mattress, Lu Heng took out two dinners from his space: a fried chicken meal and a pizza.
These two types of food were very popular with young people, and the meals Lu Heng took out always seemed as if they were freshly made.
"In this apocalypse, there's no one else who can eat such delicious food like us. I feel meeting you, Brother Lu, is the luckiest thing in my life."
"Indeed, I feel the same way. Alright, let's both sleep soundly tonight. I'll have the antelope keep watch."
They truly had a good night's sleep, sleeping next to the quiet forest with very fresh air.
Early the next morning, after Lu Heng and Lin Yu woke up, they spent a few more hours working on the ground and finally collected all the movable supplies from the base into Lu Heng's space.
It was estimated that if others came, they wouldn't be able to clean up so thoroughly. Looking at the significantly emptier ground, Lin Yu's smile became even brighter.
"These storage rings are truly monstrous. How do people in other worlds achieve this?"
Lin Yu had also asked people with metal abilities to study these storage rings, but they still couldn't figure out how it was done.
Embedding spatial abilities into these metals was something Lin Yu truly couldn't comprehend.
"Well, I have plenty of these things. It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. This is also a technically confidential item in other worlds, a monopolized industry, so to speak."
Lu Heng played with a storage ring in his hand. "There are other styles of these, but they're not very suitable for our world."
With that, a pile of miscellaneous ancient ornaments appeared in his hand.
"Oh, they come in so many different styles. However, these are indeed inconvenient to carry. If they get lost, even though others can't use them, it's not easy to get them back."
They had to go out and fight zombies, and the appearance of these items was indeed not suitable for modern people to wear.
"Brother Lu, I want to grow my hair out too."
Lin Yu looked at Lu Heng's tied-up hair with envy. Previously, he always felt that growing long hair in the apocalypse was inconvenient, and he thought that men with long hair would affect his handsome image.
But after seeing Lu Bai with his long hair cascading down his shoulders, wearing ancient-style clothing, he felt that their ethereal and immortal appearance was also quite good.
"If you want to grow it, then grow it. No one cares about that these days." Lu Heng initially grew his hair out after discovering that in other worlds, people's attire made it more convenient for him to travel, so he deliberately let it grow.
He was still young, after all, and didn't have such rigid ideas.
"Heh heh, then Brother Lu, can you get me some ancient-style clothes later? I'll dress up beautifully at home when I have time."
In fact, Lin Yu's physique was also on the slender side, so these ancient-style clothes would definitely look good on him.
Glancing at Lin Yu's physique, Lu Heng handed him a storage bag.
"There are some here that are suitable for you. Take a look when you get back. I've also put some accessories inside, so you can mix and match them yourself."
"Alright, let's go check out those giant bees. I'll release the golden eagle later. They're both flying, so it'll be more convenient for combat."
It seemed he needed to collect more flying mutated animals for more convenient combat.
It was a pity that these giant bees were not mutated animals, and there was a limit to the number of animals he could contract. He always had to choose the most suitable ones to contract.
Thinking of this, he remembered Fatty Hu and his wife. He wondered if their offspring counted towards the number. If they occupied the contract slots, and he ended up with a non-mutated one, he would be at a huge disadvantage.
It seemed he needed to hurry and contract all the mutated animals, and not let those two keep producing offspring for him.
The two of them flew towards the place where they had discovered the giant bees yesterday in the beak-mouthed beasts. The golden eagle flew ahead, leading the way.
"It's over there," Lin Yu pointed to a small yellow dot not far away.
"Prepare for combat. Golden Eagle, don't kill all the giant bees. I want to keep a few for research."
The golden eagle responded to Lu Heng with its thoughts, then it ascended to a higher altitude and disappeared into the clouds.
"They must have discovered us. These things are really alert," Lin Yu said, holding a military telescope and looking at the giant bees in the distance. He quickly noticed the unusual state of the giant bees.
Originally, the giant bees were just hovering in one spot, but as they approached, the giant bees adjusted their direction. Almost all of their heads were turned towards them, and the significantly faster wingbeats of the giant bees indicated that they were flying towards them.
As the giant bees approached, Lin Yu used his ice abilities to create ice arrows. These ice arrows seemed to have eyes, shooting towards the扑过来的 giant bees.
The ice arrows quickly pierced the bodies of the giant bees. The giant bees were like giant targets. They had been menacing and buzzing just moments ago, but after being pierced by the ice arrows, they lost their ability to fly and fell to the ground.
Lu Heng did not use his ice abilities like Lin Yu. He controlled the vines on the beak-mouthed beast in the air, creating a huge net bag and extending it to scoop up the giant bees that were not hit by the ice arrows.
