Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

I saw it.

The bag wrapped with flower seeds was held up by a mysterious force and placed upright on a boulder. The orange-red package was like a burning flame on the snow.

There were absolutely no rocks here before, but after an avalanche, the mountain slid and a pile of boulders appeared out of thin air.

Sheng Cun couldn't run any longer, so he simply lay down on the lee of the stone, licking his front paws lightly.

Today, the fragile paws have endured too much unnecessary friction, revealing pink tender flesh.The tingling pain stimulated his nerves, and he couldn't help shivering.

Lowering his posture, he saw a passage looming among the stones, leading to the bottom of the valley. This is a trail formed purely by stacked snow.

It seems that this is the way down the mountain that the system said.

He closed his eyes tiredly, ready to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, the system said at this time: "Do you know why avalanches occur frequently at this time?"

"Isn't it because the snow is too thick?"

Shengcun's head was dizzy, and he didn't want to think about this question.

"Although there are reasons for this, the most important thing is that spring is coming and the snow layer is starting to melt."

"Host, winter is over, your journey afterward should not be so difficult."

"Spring is coming..."

Sheng Cun rested his chin on his front legs, maybe it was a psychological effect, he felt that even the wind was not so biting.

This sleep lasted for a long time, until the sun shone directly on the eyelids, and Shengcun woke up leisurely.

His stomach was empty, he straightened up, and was going to find something to eat first.

Of course ibex are the most ideal food, but they are buried deep under the thick snow at this time, even with the keen sense of smell of the wolves, looking for them in the vast snow sea is like finding a needle in a haystack.

But avalanches don't just wash away creatures active on the surface, animals below the surface are not spared either.

The smell of mud wafted in the wind, mixed with the smell of voles.

Sheng Cun groped along the scent, and soon found corpses of voles scattered among the rocks.

The mice hibernated in the nest, and the avalanche rolled over the head, and the cozy nest was destroyed in an instant, but fortunately, they were washed out of the soil in their sleep, and they walked peacefully, without any signs of struggle.

With the joy of being alive, Shengcun swallowed them into his stomach in one go.

Along the valley, trekking hard in the snow, he found a mysterious cliff.

This is a sedimentary rock. Thousands of years ago, the Alps were a vast ocean, and marine life still left traces in the mountains, for example, the fossils clearly visible in the rock section in front of us.

This vortex is ammonite, and this is some kind of coral. As for the skeleton fossils next to it, they should belong to ancient bony fish...

Sheng Cun couldn't help but leaned forward to carefully identify it. He majored in marine science in college, which has become a professional habit.

He didn't notice that in the distance, the reflection of the telescope flickered.

The Alps are rich in species and have always been a sacred place for researchers.This time, a team of biologists has been stationed in the mountains, and the subject is to investigate the population density of mountain wolves.

They had received reports from Slovenia that wolf fur had been found in wine barrels being shipped to the capital, an area where wolves had rarely been seen.

The researchers squatted in Slovenia for half a month with great interest, but found nothing.

Wolves often have a fixed territory. If they only pass through an area, then it is likely to be a lone wolf wandering away from the pack.

In the Austrian ski resort next door, there was news that wolves had attempted to ambush the horses. Some tourists said that they heard wolves howling in the mountains...

This is by no means good news. Wolves are short of food in winter and tend to be close to places where humans gather. Once they are exposed to human sight, they are likely to be shot and killed as dangerous creatures.

So they followed the clues non-stop to Austria and identified traces of a small pack of wolves near the ski resort.

At that time, Shengcun had already left the ski resort, but the Dolomites National Park where it is now is also the key area of ​​research.

A wolf with a suspicious whereabouts just ran into the research plan of the human eye.

We found a wild wolf...medium size and in good shape, but behavior...

The recorder hesitated for a moment, hovering in front of the rock wall with a package in his mouth, is this a normal wolf clan?

"It seems to be a lone wolf, is it looking for a group?"

Someone whispered a guess.

"Or, let's use it as a sample."

Everyone agreed, so the anesthesia blowpipe quietly came out of the bunker, but Sheng Cun didn't notice it.

"puff."

There was only a soft sound from the blowpipe, and Sheng Cun only had time to realize that a sharp object was pierced into his body, and the anesthetic had been injected into his body.

He looked down at the bend of his front leg, this needle-like thing obviously did not belong to nature.

It's broken, maybe I won't run into poachers!

He was startled and instinctively wanted to run away.

However, within a few hundred meters, the anesthesia agent started to take effect, his limbs went limp, and he fell to the ground slowly.

After confirming that the wolf had fallen into a coma, the researchers stepped forward to check the situation.

"Well, this is..."

They found a miniature signal transmitter on the back of the wolf's neck, which is a blind spot for animals, and it had been fixed on Shengcun's body before he crossed over, but he never found it.

"ICARUS... is this the tracker of the international organization that uses space for animal research?"

"It seems that this wolf has been preempted."

A scientific researcher silently put down the collar in his hand, "This organization seems to have developed a new technology - using sensors, GPS and other technologies to locate animals, and then display their footprints on a map?"

"Look at this, the package contains plant seeds, why would a wolf act with seeds?"

"Take a few samples out of it first, and go back to identify the species."

They photographed the package, took samples, and carefully restored it to its original state.

"I heard that that organization cooperates with several institutions and wants to establish a database of animal traces. I have colleagues who have contacted them. When I go back, I will ask about the progress of this project..."

The scientific researchers walked away while chatting, and they had to stay nearby to make sure the wolf woke up before leaving.

The anesthesia was intense, and Sheng Cun woke up leisurely after sleeping for a long time.

I'm alive?

The effects of the anesthetic hadn't worn off, and he was dizzy now, but he still remembered to get up and check to see if the package was still there.

There is still a faint human smell left on it, it should have been touched by someone.

No hair was damaged on the body, the package was also safe, and the system was not abnormal... Could it be that they ran into a scientific researcher?

Sheng Cun felt guilty for a while. When they met such a strange individual, they probably had to study their own motives for a long time when they went back.

It's urgent to hurry, the destination given to him by the system is the Lycinia National Park in Italy, and he still has 3 months to spend on the road.

I don't know if it is the system's secret contribution, but the journey has been quite smooth.

Many old, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated in winter. As the snow on the sunny side of the mountainside melted first, animals buried in the snow could be seen everywhere, enough to provide the animals with the first meal in spring after the long and severe winter.

As a complete opportunistic predator, Shengcun insisted on relying on the character design of a ghoul to stubbornly reach his destination.

In addition to meeting a brown bear that just woke up from hibernation halfway, it also brought two chubby cubs, who are already in shape, and their eyes are green with hunger.

At that time, Sheng Cun picked up a dead horse. He used his size advantage to drive away the lynx that found it first. Before he had eaten two bites, he heard the roar of the brown bear.

No wolf would take it easy and go head-to-head with the brown bear.

He tactfully avoided it, but still lingered nearby, ready to wait for the brown bear to finish eating, and then check if there were any leftovers.

However, the female bear with her cubs was particularly ferocious, because she thought the fluffy cub was very cute. She took a second look, and the female bear rushed over with a ferocious expression, as if she wanted to bring him for extra food.

With no other choice, Sheng Cun had no choice but to flee in embarrassment with his tail between his legs, until he escaped from the valley occupied by the female bear in one breath.

He came to a sunny low-lying land, the place where spring first set foot here, the thin ice was crackling under the sunlight, and the creek below could be seen flowing through the cracked cracks.

On the bank of the river, amidst the intertwined withered grass, dots of greenness quietly emerged, and soon spread, followed by the vibrant spring of March in the Alps.

"Here we are, bite the package open."

Sheng Cun did as he did, and after the whole winter's wind and snow, the package became limp. He held the rope in his mouth, ground his teeth, and soon fell apart.

The dark brown seeds slipped from the package, jumped into the snow-soaked soil, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Hey, can you tell me now, what kind of seed is this?"

Sheng Cun asked.

……

"The research team in Slovenia has received news that the wolf number 1030 was spotted in the Dolomites National Park and was carrying iris seeds..."

"It doesn't just carry iris seeds. After we put a tracker on it, this guy traveled from Slovenia through Austria, and finally stopped in a national park in Italy..."

In the laboratory, facing a long and winding road map projected on a large screen, the researchers fell into deep thought.

"In other words, its determination is really firm. It is probably the only wolf that has crossed the Alps."

"Why are you going to climb the mountain?—because the mountain is there."

A passing colleague stopped, shaking his head with interest.

"It's just a wolf, probably for survival, not for so-called romance."

He shook his head.

Now there is a very distressing thing, how should the research report be written?

"Go to the other side and have a look."

Facing the lingering questions, the system did not answer directly.

This is the last mission in this world.

With such a mentality, Shengcun jumped into the water and quickly swam to the other side.

He was surrounded by a large clump of blue-purple irises, their slender stalks standing tall and graceful, their long, graceful petals swaying before his eyes.

"The English name of iris is 'Alice'. It is the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology. It builds a rainbow bridge between heaven and earth, and brings the souls of kind people to heaven."

The system explained in the ear.

"...I'm not dead yet."

The more Sheng Cun heard, the more something was wrong.

"Then, the task of crossing the Alps is over, and we are about to go to the next world."

A white light flashed in front of his eyes, Sheng Cun lost consciousness briefly, and floated in the familiar white space again.

The author says:

"Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?" "Because the mountain is there." From the British mountaineer, George Mallory.

This world is the original intention of writing this book. Just because I like the artistic conception of this title, it can be regarded as making dumplings for jealousy (laughing and crying)

[Put a pre-received copy]

In the Elemental Continent, strange beasts are rampant. There are 118 citizens in total, all obeying the system's orders.

Jumping on the mecha to fight monsters and mine is their boring and boring daily life.

Na opened his eyes, desperately thinking that he would be greeted by the miserable life of the monster-fighting tool man.However, she soon discovered that this group of newcomers had their own ideas.

Some people focus on farming, some focus on love, and some... just want to make trouble.

The system jumped anxiously: "You are so disobedient! What will you do if you encounter a strange beast?"

Na Xiemei smiled: "Look, our nirvana is - use mechas to synthesize various compounds, let them understand what element suppression is!"

While talking, the sodium and chlorine mechas merged, and salt spewed out from the muzzle, and sprinkled it on the huge slugs one after another...

The system looked at the slug that turned into water, and was stunned: "Is this how to use the fusion skill I gave you?"

Until one day, Na mysteriously proposed:

"Everyone has had enough of fighting monsters, how about we go to the restricted area in the northern border?"

Everyone exclaimed:

"It turns out that you are the real master of death—so when shall we set off?"

The truth of this strange world may be hidden within the restricted area...
