Chapter 662: Chapter 271: Drawing Mutated Sunflowers Again
"Let’s go back first."
Liang Yuan put away the feather and quickly returned with Tu Long.
There were two days left before the Sea Tide, he couldn’t waste time and had to take advantage of these two days to harvest Mutant Fish.
Now that he knew the direction of these mutant birds and beasts, he would have time to explore it later.
For now, those clouds were off limits, as the Thunderbolt that could appear at any moment was too powerful.
His Spirit Turtle Shield couldn’t even hold for a second. Relying solely on his body, he definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it either, so he couldn’t take the risk for now.
Back at the Shelter, Liang Yuan looked around and found that the current wave of beasts indeed couldn’t break through the Shelter. In fact, many Mutant Beasts actively avoided the Fire Bamboo Forest area.
Liang Yuan was completely relieved and then began to diligently harvest the Mutant Fish swept ashore by the waves.
In two days, Liang Yuan harvested nearly 200,000 Points!
With that, the Sea Tide ended, and some loose ends were tied up by the Shelter’s people going out to capture any missed Mutant Fish.
Liang Yuan returned to the Bamboo House, somewhat dissatisfied with this harvest.
"Last time I managed to earn as much as 360,000 Points, but this time it’s barely 200,000."
Liang Yuan sighed, but he knew this was normal.
Last time he had killed a large number of red-fleshed creatures that had come out of the forest, resulting in an additional 100,000 Points.
But this time, there were far fewer Mutant Beasts in the forest, and Liang Yuan didn’t dare to kill too many, worrying that if he wiped out all the Mutant Beasts on Yangshan, there would be none left to supply the breeding base in the future.
For the past two days, he had focused entirely on killing sea Mutant Beasts, even venturing into nearby diving areas to hunt Mutant Fish.
Only then did he gather 200,000 Points.
"No worries, 200,000 is not a small amount. I can save it for now, and maybe in just five months, I can accumulate a million Points."
"It’s just five months; I can wait, no rush."
Liang Yuan took a deep breath, steadying his mindset.
With the Lottery System, he would eventually gather a million Points; there was no need to rush.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The door was knocked, and Liang Yuan snapped back to reality.
"Brother Liang, my brother is here."
Liang Yuan opened the door to see Dong Yan standing outside.
Liang Yuan walked out with a smile, "Xiaojie is here?"
In the living room, Dong Jie quickly stood up, "Brother Liang, my sister said you were looking for me."
"Yes, I have something I want you to take a look at, let’s sit and talk."
Dong Jie was puzzled, "For me to look at? Is it some electronic product?"
"No."
Liang Yuan took out the giant feather from the Storage Bag and placed it on the ground.
The feather, over three meters long, almost covered the carpet by the sofa.
Liang Yuan said, "Help me see if this thing conducts electricity."
Dong Jie, upon hearing this, squatted down and tapped the feather, producing a solid sound, "Is this iron? It’s hard."
"It’s not iron, it’s a feather from some kind of Mutant Bird."
"A feather?"
Both Dong Jie and Dong Yan were shocked, staring at the feather in disbelief.
Dong Yan couldn’t help but say, "What kind of bird is this, its feather is over three meters long?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "I don’t know what species it is, but it’s definitely mutated."
By this time, Dong Jie had already started examining it. He placed his fingertip on the feather.
As he activated his Superpower, his eyes seemed to flicker with electric light.
Sparks crackled at his fingertip.
Arcs of electricity danced on the feather.
The feather trembled slightly, and its hair, like blinds, quivered gently. Not only did the feather not scorch or char, but its dark green feathers became even more glossy and bright!
It seemed that the electricity not only didn’t damage the feather but even energized it!
Dong Jie quickly withdrew his finger, exclaiming in amazement, "Brother Liang, this thing not only conducts electricity, but it can also absorb electric energy!"
"I’ve never seen a material like this, these hairs are natural electrical wires, their resistance is almost zero."
"I can feel my electrical energy flowing through it freely, with almost no resistance at all."
Liang Yuan was stunned; he had thought this thing didn’t conduct electricity, which was why those strange birds weren’t afraid of the Thunderbolt in the clouds.
But Dong Jie’s words took him by surprise. This thing not only conducted electricity but did so exceptionally well, with virtually no resistance!
Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that these strange birds, because their feathers conduct electricity so well, even when struck by lightning, can discharge it smoothly?"
"But how do they remain unscathed?"
Liang Yuan was silent. Could their bodies work like wires, with current passing through them and discharging elsewhere?
And as the wires themselves, they are completely unaffected?
This was something Liang Yuan had never considered.
If that were the case, how could he pass through the thick clouds and withstand the lightning attacks?
"No wonder the military still hasn’t sent airplanes."
"Not to mention how dangerous the Thunderbolt in the clouds is, these strange birds hidden in the clouds would also attack the planes."
"Aircraft would find it almost impossible to move, and who knows if the lightning even disrupts magnetic fields, making aircraft unable to operate within the clouds."
"Logically, even if aircraft couldn’t work, submarines or ships should still function, so why haven’t we seen these things coming inland for rescue?"
"Could it be because, at the early stage of the flood, the water levels weren’t high enough for warships to come in? Or are there too many buildings blocking the entrance?"
