Chapter Four Camping in Silversmith Village Part 2
The car drove on Xingfu Road for more than half an hour, and then turned onto the main road heading east. On both sides of the road, the field of view was very wide, full of desolation and desolation. There were fields, and there were also empty fields. There were sparsely scattered houses at the end of the fields and ridges, and there were ten places.
Nine places were collapsed, like horse manure piles in the past driveway, and it was uncomfortable to look at them.
Most of these houses were not destroyed by monsters. The houses used to look at the fields in summer and autumn were originally poorly built. When the Gate of the Abyss opened, the earthquake that spread all over the world was enough to make these houses typical dilapidated houses.
After two years of no-one repairs and maintenance, it is normal for it to collapse.
Song Yizhou checked the direction, "Our destination won't be the airport, right?"
People in Leihuo were silent. This was a discipline. Even if they had to reveal some information to Song Yizhou and Luo Ling, it would be Han Xiaolu. If anyone else asked, they would not know.
"It's the airport, but we need to choose a place to rest and reorganize first. Lu Fei, please make sure." Han Xiaolu forced herself to sit up.
"Captain, you'd better lie down!" Xing Juan advised.
"Let me sit down for a while. It's uncomfortable to lie down all the time!"
Luo Ling silently sensed Han Xiaolu's condition. He was indeed very weak and felt pity in his heart. After the battle, he had an estimate of the combat power of these so-called elites. Disappointed!
At this level, the survivors can only survive underground. At the very least, there is no hope of regaining the surface in 50-70 years. As for what will happen next, it depends on the progress of magic technology. From the performance of various aspects
Look, the research on magic has now broken through the first bottleneck, bringing about changes just like the birth of the steam engine.
In other words, magic technology will be in a state of rapid development for a long time, advancing rapidly, expanding comprehensively, and affecting various fields. Then, just like aerodynamics in the early 21st century, it will be able to lift
The technology has almost been exhausted, and humans have almost used the efficiency produced by this project to the extreme. It is difficult to make major breakthroughs in flight with the new generation of fighter jets, and they can only make breakthroughs in other fields such as electronic countermeasures.
Kung Fu, this is the new bottleneck. Once a major breakthrough is made in a cutting-edge field, rapid development will follow again.
What mankind is most proud of is probably its creativity. Given some time, it is not impossible to develop powerful weapons against demons. Time, it seems, is what mankind lacks at the moment.
The Gate of the Abyss is not a gate for demons to enter and exit. At least for most demons, they don’t need such fancy props. The Gate of the Abyss is more like a hook lock made of energy. It is this kind of hook.
The lock continuously shortens the distance between the two planes, and makes the connection between the two planes more frequent and stable. The gate of the abyss continuously releases dark energy, which is related to the dark energy floating around the world.
Compared with the dark energy, it is purer and more harmful. This dark energy constantly corrodes and changes the environment around it, thus making the 'hook lock' more powerful.
Theoretically speaking, the two planes will not be infinitely close, just like a pirate ship will not squeeze into a merchant ship. The result of forced integration can only mean the destruction of both sides. What the demons want is only to plunder.
Destroy or, if possible, turn the world into a second 'pirate ship'.
As the Gate of the Abyss continues to open, the space-time rifts used by the demons to airborne will slowly evolve into more stable space-time channels. When this plane is sufficiently corroded by dark energy, the main force of the demons can set foot on this plane.
The land of the world. A simple understanding is that God will descend, and immediate and complete destruction will be unstoppable.
According to Luo Ling's judgment, if the survivors don't do something, there is a high chance that the devil will come before powerful weapons are developed. But the question is, what should we do? Destroy the abyss.
The method to open the door has not yet been found. Even if it is found, given the current situation of the survivors who have recently been defeated, is it possible to win a large-scale offensive and defensive battle on the surface? It seems that this is another five-year plan, a ten-year plan, or a Marshall Plan.
!
Whenever he thought that after he died of old age, the human race was likely to usher in the extinction of the race, Luo Ling felt quite a bit like, "Only the present day is left, only the present day is the only one left." He had also imagined that he would become a savior, but he lacked the ability to throw his head away.
, the reason to shed blood, persevere, and work hard regardless of one's own safety.
Why? Why save? Don't say those big words, empty words, just tell the truth. When Luo Ling, the failed experiment, is hunted to the ends of the earth and has no place to stay, where is the help? Where is the love? Now, it is his turn to repay evil with kindness.
, you convince people with your virtue? Grandma! There is no way!
Time slipped away in his wild thoughts, and the car came to a screeching halt. The inertial shaking brought Luo Ling back to reality from the world of fantasy.
I opened the car door and jumped out, and what I saw was a small village. A small oil road that was not wide enough ran from north to south. On both sides of the road were shops with a slightly more attractive appearance. There were three or two restaurants, a canteen, a bathhouse, and a car repair shop.
Clinics, hotels... This type of village is very common. All trade-related facilities are on both sides of the best roads, and then there are those built by one household, which are as unplanned as temporary stalls in the morning market.
Residential house.
"No wonder our countrymen didn't want to be city dwellers if they had the means in the later period. Just look at this house, a row of tile-roofed houses, facing north and south, with a single house and courtyard. There are cars in the courtyard, and you can also plant some flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables.
Look at the city again. You live in an apartment in the sky like a birdcage, and you have to spend half your life's salary to pay for the rent. It's noisy and smoky all day long. You eat old rice and noodles, and you drink too much bleaching powder.
Biochemical water, if you encounter a bad character, and then encounter an upstairs resident who likes to play on the floor in the middle of the night, your life will be disgusting! "
Li Xiao jumped out of the car and patted the shoulder of Song Yizhou, who was talking energetically with his foot on the rear wheel, and said angrily: "You were a storyteller in your previous life, right? There are so many complaints! Now this place is all gone
Are you here? Do you want to stay? Let’s go!”
"It doesn't matter what you said, and you don't have a land certificate or anything... Isn't it better to take a long-term view? Our Long March is over, can't we still fight back..." Song Yizhou muttered and followed Li Xiao.
We chose a house in the corner of the village to stay, and parked the car in an alley next to the house. The front of the car faced the asphalt road, which was convenient to use and relatively hidden.
We chose a house connected to the left and right and set up two tents. It was spacious enough, and the beds, chairs and bedding were all in the room. What was missing was cleaning. People had dust removal devices in their hands and it was not a problem for everyone to clean the house. It made everyone more satisfied.
Fortunately, there is a well in the courtyard, and there is water in the well. Although water and electricity have been installed in households here for a long time, the "repertoire" of the well is now of great help to people.
Luo Ling stood in a certain room, cleaning his armor with a portable pressure water gun. The monster's blood dyed his upper body a dark red. He didn't like this feeling, like a crazy butcher, although the truth was not far from the truth.
The sealing performance of the current Demon Hunter armor is as good as that of the space suits of the past. There is no need to worry about getting the inside wet. Such a well-sealed armor actually places extremely high demands on the combat suit that is covered inside the armor.
Such as elasticity, toughness, breathability, and filterability.
Filterability refers to the concentrated extraction index of human sweat produced by clothing materials. Demon hunters in this era no longer need to pour out half a liter of water from the attached rubber pants after work, like those who studied nuclear and biological weapons in the past. Magic technology
The results are also reflected in the combat uniform. No matter how intense the exercise is, most of the body can still be kept quite dry. A small container is responsible for collecting the sweat collected from various parts of the body, and it can be released when appropriate.
.Why should it be done at the right time? Because sweat has a "human smell", just like urine and urine. If a witcher can't handle it properly, just wait for the monster to come to your door!
After taking off the heavy armor, people still have many things to do, such as recharging the armor's magic shield energy, using repairers to repair damaged combat uniforms, using welders to repair cracks on armor parts, and treating the body surface.
Wounds. In the battle to break through the siege of monsters, almost everyone in Leihuo suffered injuries, such as being bitten by the Lost Shock Demon, scratched or chopped by the monster's claws or weapons, although they were not special.
It's serious, but if it's not dealt with, it will definitely affect combat effectiveness. Fortunately, Han Xiaolu's purification skills are widely used. At the same time, like most groups, the auxiliary occupations of the technological engineers are not only mechanics, but also medics, who can repair armors and do some simple tasks.
Surgery, suturing wounds, injections, and bandaging are all Ren Zhengzheng's strengths. If he doesn't fail, the team's recovery will be guaranteed.
It's good that Lu Fei didn't die. This is not only because he is the eyes of the team. He has the radio in his hands and can keep in touch with the organization, which means that the team has a hope of survival.
Xing Juan, who has heavy firepower, did not die, which ensured that the team had enough attack power. However, in the early battle, the excessive use of magic made her not in a good state. After camping, she almost simply cleaned up and entered a meditative state.
, it seems that there is no need to call her before dinner.
Han Xiaolu, who played a big role in the breakout battle, was also in poor condition, even worse than Xing Juan. Before meditating, she seemed to have resolved her severe physical discomfort, so she dealt with the result in advance - rest.
Li Xiao was busy sharpening his sword, and he was in good spirits. However, he had many wounds, big and small. Not to mention the impact of the wounds on his combat effectiveness, even the loss of blood was enough to make him physically weak. As a result, he had to rest.
Song Yizhou is the only one who still suffers from backache and muscle pain. Adrenaline hormone injections are not free, and overloading exercise is not without its cost. Although it did not cause large-scale rupture of his muscle groups, there are still many strains. In addition,
With limited physical ability, he looked like the most seriously injured one. Heng Heng Ji acted as Tang Monk there to divert his attention and relieve the pain. After some medical treatment, he also rested.
In a room full of sick people, by comparison, the one in the best condition was Luo Ling, who had killed the most enemies.
"I'm going out for a spin!" With these words, Luo Ling asked Song Yizhou for his space ring, then went out with a gun. Now people don't have to avoid suspicion. If they really want to harm Han Xiaolu and the others, they can do it when they are in the city.
As long as they leave, these people will probably become the morning tea in the monster's belly.
Luo Ling's first stop was to sweep the shops on both sides of the oil road. This place was far away from the survivor bases, so he could still scrape out some oil and water if he wanted to.
Most of the food in the grocery store is inedible, but vacuum-packed luncheon meats with a shelf life of three years are still good. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, washing powder, letter paper, pens, expired toiletries, wine...
These are all good things, and they are all consumables, and the production is extremely scarce. These are all money after returning to the base.
In the bathhouse, it is normal for the bathhouse children to buy some toiletries. The most important ones are towels, unused textiles such as quilt covers, and cotton products. Without cotton fields, there will be no cotton. Of course, these
Just use some light textile products and use less. If a bathhouse owner doesn’t keep some of these things in his warehouse, he still runs a bathhouse? When escaping, it’s impossible to carry large and small bags of such things! So, now these
It’s also cheaper for Luo Ling.
Similarly, those who open hotels cannot do without these products, and Luo Ling can spare a handful of them.
At the auto repair shop, Luo Ling came here not for the tools, but to find some oil. He didn't see a gas station on this street, so isn't it normal for the auto repair shop to stock some oil? There are cars like this
You don’t need a means of transportation, you have to use your legs to walk, that’s what fools do.
Restaurants, bowls and chopsticks are not of great value, but the seasonings, rice noodles, etc. in the warehouse are of considerable value. If you go back and dissociate them with magic energy, they are all in short supply.
There was no grain store in the village, which was completely understandable. The rice and noodles were all at home, so Luo Ling worked tirelessly to search from house to house...
Through the surveillance devices placed all around, people in the camp could still see Luo Ling's majestic figure leaving the east house and entering the west house, prying open the door and prying the house door. Li Xiaoba said with a sigh: "I'm so envious now."
Unorganized free-spirited witchers! This bandit-style raid and looting is so enjoyable!"
Ren Zhengzheng, who was repairing his armor, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I envy his physical strength."
"I envy his survival ability and mentality!" Lu Fei said: "This is what the immortal Xiaoqiang looks like!"
"I'm still heartbroken because I killed so many monsters but didn't get any materials! With this, I finally have a balance. This trip was not in vain!" Song Yizhou laughed.
Lu Fei rolled his eyes at him, "You have to dig food out of dead people's mouths. Why didn't you study finance or become a cashier or accountant who counts money every day?"
"Then the money is not my own? If I were to be a cashier, why should I be angry? What if I can't control it and make a mistake?"
"You do have some self-awareness!" Li Xiao snorted.
After searching the Silversmith Village without missing a beat, Luo Ling got down to business with satisfaction.
While the car was still on the road, there was a small group of crack-tooth demons following the car from a distance. Luo Ling did not fire at that time. To deal with such monsters, there is no point in killing one or two. What is needed is a whole bunch, otherwise,
With the Crack Tooth Demon's cunning and vindictive character, he will definitely gather and contact other Crack Tooth Demons or monsters to avenge him. Of course, ignoring it is not an option. The Crack Tooth Demon is like a pack of wolves, hunters who know how to cooperate very well.
He will carefully test it, and then swallow it if he can. If he can't, he will call his friends and join him together. In short, letting these guys target is a troublesome problem. If it can't be solved, sooner or later there will be a tough battle.
Who is the hunter and who is the prey has never been an absolute matter. In the duel between Luo Ling and more than a dozen crack-tooth demons, the crack-tooth demons first acted as hunters with joy, and then they met
A prey that dared to be left alone, and seemed to be less threatening and panicked. Later, the situation was reversed, and the crack-tooth demons discovered that what they encountered was not a weak prey at all, but a nemesis holding a butcher knife high. Luo Ling took the city
The embarrassment and resentment of being beaten because they didn't want to reveal their true strength were all spread on these poor tooth cracking demons. That scene was like a tiger invading the flock of sheep, tearing them apart alive, and none of the eleven tooth cracking demons escaped.
They all fell off, their bones were broken and their tendons were broken under Luo Ling's "massage" of a pair of ghost claws, and they died with hatred.
Bang! A calf-sized Tooth Demon was thrown to the ground.
"You went to hunt the Tooth-Cracking Demon?" Ren Zhengzheng asked in surprise.
"Yeah! Our group is always dotted on the road. I'll take them all together, otherwise there will be a large group of the same kind tonight, and we won't be able to live in peace."
After swallowing, Lu Fei asked with wide eyes: "How did you do it? These guys can run faster than leopards, are more agile than antelopes, are more cunning than foxes, are more cruel than wolves, and are more ferocious than sharks...
…”
"I am a good hunter!" Luo Ling said confidently: "At first, I made them think that I was the prey. By the time they found out that they were the prey, it was already too late!"
"..."
"What are you going to do?" Song Yizhou asked.
"Eat meat! Although these guys look like velociraptors, their meat is more delicate and tasty than crab meat."
