Deep in the withered forest, there were ice crystals on the branches, and there was a chill in the air. This chill that penetrated to the bones made many people wearing fur coats feel a little unable to hold on, but everyone was still there.
Being patient.
Today is June 23, 2076
8:23 am
The sun can only see a circle of light, and basically no warmth can be felt at all.
Vierra leaned quietly against a tree trunk. In front of him was a large open woodland, covered with some green vegetation. This was a large hunting ground that had been well prepared. Vierra led hundreds of people into it.
They went deep into the mountains just to hunt. Now the situation in the mines is very bad. Food has begun to decrease day by day. There are still nearly 8,000 people living in the mines.
The town has been completely controlled by those aliens, and now the farmland should have begun to produce some food. Coupled with the attack that night, they have obtained sufficient "food".
The food in the mine is now enough for half a month at most, and the food shortage has reached a very serious level. In order to prevent the internal collapse from causing riots, Verla did not cut off the food of these branded people. Instead, the branded people and the townspeople now
They eat the same amount of food, but the Branders need to work in the mines to mine some metal ores to refine and obtain some metal materials.
Nowadays, the mine barely relies on hydropower from the water plant for supply, and heating relies on excavated coal. For the time being, there is no other crisis except food. The biggest crisis now lies in the heretics. Before, Vila tried
After leading several raids, they found that there were very strict protective measures and they were still cultivating farmland. The moment Vila saw that grid, Vila figured out all the causes and consequences.
Only Gerry's group would turn to those heretics for help. The attack on Vella that night was very carefully planned, but it took some time in the process of receiving weapons and allocating personnel, and was preempted by the other party.
It has been the fifth day since Weila and the others came to this deep mountain. They found some traces of prey and set up some traps nearby. In the past few days, they have only caught some small prey, and more than 100 people have eaten them all.
caught prey.
Hunting in such a cold mountain forest is extremely tiring of physical strength and willpower. The rations they brought could only last for one day at most. If they still couldn't catch too many prey today, they would have no choice but to return without success.
Vila smiled bitterly. The moment the disaster occurred, Vila saw an opportunity and quickly gained dominance through her intelligence. However, now this dominance has become more and more fragile. Many people
Everyone began to complain, especially the original townspeople who had a lot of opinions.
In order to prevent the current fragile internal collapse, Verla chose to distribute the food fairly. The effect was very good, but it was questioned by the people around him. However, Redes was now on his side, covering up for himself.
My younger brother, Fred was a little disgusted with Verla's approach before, but now he supports the approach of everyone working together to coexist.
"The approach just changes with the position."
Vila whispered something in a low voice, and then laughed. Vila recalled some life in school. After she and her brother went to the city, both of them worked hard. Vila was in the first year because of her excellent results.
After receiving the scholarship and giving a speech on behalf of the students, she already felt that this feeling of standing on the stage overlooking everything below was what she wanted to pursue.
The man that Vila met later was able to take Vila with him to attend some high-society places with envious and jealous eyes every time. Vila enjoyed it very much, if it weren't for the fact that the man became more and more excessive, and finally threatened
Brother, Virla didn't understand how to kill that man.
In Verla's opinion, if you don't have a clear reason for living in this world, it will be difficult for you to survive. You just need to give yourself a reason. This has been true from childhood to adulthood.
Originally, her parents were very opposed to her and her brother's contact with the outside world, and wanted them to follow the rules and order of their tribe. However, Vierla had no reason to follow it, because the outside world was very tempting.
The man in the past gave Vila reasons again and again, and Vila finally killed him, and also designed to take away a lot of the man's money. Under such a situation, Vila originally planned to come back first to avoid the limelight, and then find a way
Leave this country and live somewhere else.
But disaster struck. At this moment, Vierla saw an opportunity, an opportunity to be able to surpass everyone in an instant. Although it was screwed up now, at least there was still a chance to build a kingdom of his own in this mountain forest.
country.
Vierla didn't want to go back to the village. The village was only about 50 kilometers away from here. Although it only took a day or two to walk back, Vierla didn't want to go back. An unstable factor was stirring in her heart.
Verla could no longer return to the happy, quiet and comfortable life in the small village. Originally, when the disaster occurred, her brother persuaded Verla to go back to the small village together.
It's just that Vila has never had such an idea. She just wants to stay here and build a country of her own. Now the time is ripe.
At this time, there were some unusual movements in the distant mountains and forests. For a moment, everyone opened their eyes nervously. They saw a group of wild deer appearing in the mountains and forests in front of them. There were so many of them. At a glance, there were hundreds of them.
, they carefully entered the area in front of them that still had a lot of vegetation. Everyone held their breath and raised their guns one after another.
After waiting for so many days, the result finally came. Vierla immediately raised the gun in his hand. Although he had not gone hunting with his parents a few times since he was a child, Vierla still remembers the feeling.
The moment of tension when seeing the prey, and the suffocating feeling of fear that the slightest movement would cause the prey to run away.
Bang
Accompanied by a gunshot, intensive gunfire rang out for a moment. Verla looked at the deer running away, but it was obvious that they could no longer run away. Some deer were caught in the trap in all directions, and some were trapped.
He fell to the cold ground.
The hunting was successful in just over ten minutes, and everyone ran over cheering.
Vierra walked over with the gun in his hand and saw a stag lying in a pool of blood. It was not dead yet, still twitching, breathing hot air from its mouth, and staring directly at him.
"Sorry!"
Verla squatted on the ground and stretched out her hand to gently press the deer's lips. After a while, the deer died. Everyone cheered excitedly and took out their knives to process the deer meat.
Some deer still ran out, but only a small part. Most of the deer had fallen in the hunting ground. Vierla breathed a sigh of relief. This hunting mission was successfully concluded. With this food, it was enough.
Many people hold on a little longer.
Bang
Someone fired a shot. Looking at the deer that was still alive, he fired another shot. Vierla said immediately.
"Don't waste bullets."
As Vila spoke, an image of a hunter appeared in her mind. She looked towards the deep forest in the distance, and then laughed.
"There is nothing we can do."
After returning this time, Vierra planned to go back to the village with his brother and ask for help from the people in the village. Otherwise, there would be no way to deal with the heretics.
There were not many bullets left, and several raids had little effect. This had a lot to do with the shooting accuracy of most of the townspeople and the branders. The bullets were wasted in vain, but they were effective.
It's very slight, but the opponent can always hit the person on his side.
People in the village are very good at shooting, and they have stored a lot of weapons and ammunition for hunting over the years. People in the whole village will learn shooting from childhood, because everyone is a hunter from birth.
Vierla had no choice but to go back to the village for help. If he continued to delay, the situation would only get worse. The gangs were eyeing his side, and they would attack one day.
With the reclamation of mountain forests and the withering of trees and plants, the natural barriers near mines will become ineffective.
"Hurry up. If you can't finish processing, take them back directly."
Vila said, some people had already started a fire, but Vila stopped them. It would take up to seven or eight hours to walk back to the mine. Many people wanted to have a full meal before going back. Finally, Vila asked people to start counting.
After checking the number of deer, some people were allowed to eat first before going back.
"I'm going back first. You guys just have to keep an eye on me."
Vila said and started walking. Many people advised Vila to rest first, but Vila planned to go back immediately and then go directly to her village. After getting some rations with some people, Vila was on the road.
He simply explained a few things and left.
9:29 am
With a gasp, Gerry climbed up from the bed. The woman hugging him opened her eyes slightly, moved closer and closed her eyes again. There was still a fire burning in the fireplace not far away, and Gerry felt comfortable.
He leaned back and then gently stroked the woman's hair.
At this time, a smell of aroma came. Gerry swallowed, picked up a dark thing on the cabinet next to him, put it in his mouth and ate it. Gerry didn't know what happened to him. In a short period of time,
I have adapted to all this over time.
Nowadays, everyone is working hard to cultivate and maintain the land. There are already mature crops. They just harvested some the day before yesterday and started sowing again. The actual manager of the town is Mukes, and he is responsible for the farmland.
There are still a small number of people who have not passed the "trial" and are being imprisoned. They refuse to accept the so-called trial whether they live or die, but now their situation is miserable. They are kept in captivity like livestock, eating, drinking and eating in the south.
In an old warehouse that was still intact, from time to time they would be caught, cleaned and slaughtered.
The woman next to her is named Silly, and she took the initiative to embrace her. In order to live a better life, Gerry also accepted this beautiful and tall woman, and his life was relatively comfortable, especially in the past few days, the mines
Those guys stopped launching raids.
Among the many people who stayed in the town, some of the more useful people got good jobs. In so many sudden attacks, they relied on the simple alarm bells they made and the secret sentries placed near the roads.
, once it is discovered that people in the mine are making moves, the alarm bell will be pressed immediately. Once Gerry knows, all the people who have been assigned will be called out immediately. It is almost impossible for them to attack.
Gerry looked at a crossbow placed on the table. This is the main weapon they use for defense now. Some people are using wood to produce it every day. Although this primitive weapon has problems with range and accuracy, it is still used.
Arrows made from metal are still very lethal. In these attacks, crossbow arrows have played a very important role, and the arrows are easy to recover.
"What's wrong? If you want to sleep for a while, do you want to do it again?"
Silly looked at Gerry with a smile. Gerry just smiled and patted her face before getting up. Gerry planned to go to the farmland to have a look.
To be continued...
