The sun gradually sinks, and the horizon is a golden red, gray and black wilderness, trees appear occasionally, standing upright.
Long Yuehong looked at the few figures marching northward in the distance, and asked rather puzzledly:
"Why do some relic hunters rely solely on walking?
"Doesn't this miss the previous batch?"
Since they separated from Wu Shoushi and others, on their way to Black Rat Town, they had encountered several relic hunters who had traveled north of Yuelu Station.
Some of these hunters drove modified vehicles, some used roaring motorcycles, some relied on bicycles, and some rode tamed horses. Although the vehicles were strange, at least they all.
Bai Chen while driving took a glance and said simply:
"This is all for the cheap."
"How do you say?" Long Yuehong asked.
Jiang Baimian in the co-pilot position was maintaining his pistol, and said without looking up:
"They walked deliberately, not wanting to arrive in the ruins of the city first.
"In this way, the relic hunters in front can help them step on the thunder and eliminate a lot of danger.
"Although this also makes them lose the right to obtain first-hand information and select precious materials, they are more secure. As long as they don’t drill into the center of the city, they may survive. Anyway, even if it’s such a big city, There is a large force in front of the team, and there is no way to vacate all the marginal areas at once, and cannot guard all the roads."
Long Yuehong first realized it suddenly, and then he had doubts:
"But they can't carry much things like this. Just carrying them on their shoulders, they can afford very little, so it's better not to go."
Jiang Baimian raised his head and sneered:
"It seems that you really have no idea about the ruins of the city.
"There are a lot of used vehicles, and most of them are various parts. As long as you can repair it, you can ‘prepare’ the means of transportation when you get there. Haha, this is one of the gains in itself.
"Actually, compared to those who drove over by themselves, they have gained more and more."
Long Yuehong pondered carefully, and found that it was really like this:
Previously, Wu Shoushi’s relic hunter team had a total of four people and drove a gray off-road vehicle. After reaching the ruins of the city, if they could avoid or solve the danger, they could get up to three vehicles and four vehicles of supplies. It was taken.
If the four relic hunters go by purely on foot, with only tents and weapons on their backs, then they can get up to four vehicles and four vehicles of supplies.
Shang Jian Yao thought about it and said to himself:
"Isn't the biggest effect of driving in a hurry and maintaining energy?"
"Yes, so this group of people will definitely have to rest for more than one day when they arrive at Yuelu Station, anyway, they don't have to be in a hurry." Jiang Baimian hung the "Lianhe 202" pistol back to his armed belt, and pointed to the group of people in the distance.
She then looked around:
"It's almost evening, it seems that we can't make it to Black Rat Town today.
"Let's find a place like a soil to camp, and wait until dawn before leaving."
"Okay." "Okay." Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and others responded one after another.
It didn't take long for them to find a small dirt bag in the gray and black wilderness and set up a tent on the leeward place.
Jiang Baimian looked at the rising bonfire, clapped his hands, his eyes turned slightly:
"Shang Jian Yao, Long Yuehong, your task at noon has not been completed yet!"
"Huh?" Long Yuehong was a little dazed.
It took him a few seconds to remember that there was still an unfinished task in the ruins of the steel factory-one was to find some food by his own ability, and the other was to draw a layout map of the ruins of the steel factory.
"But our exploration was interrupted by Jing Fa, and now we can't go back and get Black Rat Town." He hurriedly defended.
Shang Jian Yao, who was next to him, didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Baimian with a smile, seeming to understand that the team leader was "deliberately looking for something".
Jiang Baimian glanced around and said with a smile:
"So, I have to give you a task that can be completed now."
She then looked down at the black electronic watch on her wrist:
"Before dark, complete a hunt. The size of the prey is not limited."
After , she raised her head and said to Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong:
"Show me some of the maps that have been drawn."
Shang Jian Yao immediately handed over the paper with only the hospital and broadcasting station area on the page.
Jiang Baimian stretched out his hand to take it, and after a look, his expression suddenly became a little strange:
"Why mark a toilet? Then it can't be used anymore."
Leader, your words are also very strange...Long Yuehong did not dare to say what was in his heart.
Shang Jian Yao responded seriously:
"Meticulousness and truthfulness are my requirements for mapping."
"Have you drawn a map before?" Jiang Baimian was a little curious.
"No." Shang Jian Yao shook his head calmly.
"Then tell me..." Jiang Baimian swallowed the latter word back into his stomach abruptly, and threw his hand away, "Go hunting."
Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong did not delay, each carrying an assault rifle, walked to the top of the small soil bag, and looked around.
The weeds on the wilderness undulate gently in the evening wind, and complement each other with the gray-black soil and various stones.
At a glance, there are only a few dozen trees, not to mention active animals.
This means that Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong can't even find a target.
"Which way to go?" Long Yuehong asked habitually.
Shang Jianyao glanced at the creek around the soil bag:
"Follow it and find the river, there should be fish there."
"Yes." Long Yuehong's expression loosened.
He hesitated and said again:
"But can this be considered hunting?"
"In terms of purpose, it must count." Shang Jianyao replied indifferently, "The only question is how far you have to go to find the fish."
"...Why don't we hunt other animals by the way?" Long Yuehong suddenly had a strange idea, "Shang Jianyao, do you think you can use the ability of'inference clown' to deceive the prey directly?" "
Shang Jianyao looked Long Yuehong up and down:
"First, you have to make them understand me, and second, you have to make them stop and listen to me."
"...also." Long Yuehong opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something, but finally did not speak.
He thought for a while and said:
"You can't go hunting blindly, let's ask Bai Chen for advice."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao didn't mind, he turned around and walked towards the jeep near the campfire.
Long Yuehong looked at his back, stayed silent for two seconds, and sighed softly.
"Bai Chen, where might there be prey nearby?" Shang Jian Yao asked straightforwardly after approaching the jeep.
Bai Chen pointed to a place with sparse trees:
"You can go there and see, there should be rabbits.
"You must distinguish between footprints and feces..."
She briefly talked about the skills of hunting rabbits, and finally said:
"If you are an ordinary person, I would suggest traps and tools, but your marksmanship is enough, as long as you can keep calm and don't mess around."
"Yeah." Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao suddenly looked forward to it.
…………
An hour later, when the afterglow of the sun was still struggling to decline, Shang Jian Yao and Long Yue returned to the campfire with red heads and faces.
The former is holding a hare with gray fur in his hand, and the blood is falling ticking down.
"You only caught one rabbit after using it for so long?" Jiang Baimian stood up, who was warming up comfortably.
"The rabbit is too sensitive, it runs fast, and there are many caves..." Long Yuehong posed difficulties.
Jiang Baimian smiled and helped him add:
"And there are too many people passing by today, and those rabbits are terrified and more difficult to catch."
"Yes, yes!" Long Yuehong responded in a hurry.
Shang Jian Yao thought about it next:
"We still despise the rabbit too much, and think that we are able to catch it."
"Yes, this time with experience, it will be easier in the future." Jiang Baimian pointed to the bonfire, "Fat off the hair, clean the blood, and bake it."
Soon, the rabbit was strung on a thicker branch and rolled around the top of the red flame.
Bai Chen sprinkled salt on the rabbit from time to time, making the surface gradually golden, allowing a fragrance that Shang Jian Yao and Long Yue Hong had never heard before pervaded.
"It seems to be delicious..." Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao said simultaneously.
Jiang Baimian smiled and shook his head:
"I can only say it will be.
"There is no oil to brush, no spice to sprinkle, rabbit meat is relatively firewood, so I can barely eat it."
"It's so luxurious." Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong responded subconsciously.
When grilling meat, brushing the oil while grilling, what a waste!
Jiang Baimian kept staring at the small rabbit without raising his head:
"Sometimes, there is no container for boiled oil, so I have to solve part of it on site.
"In the wild, we must know how to adapt to the environment."
Jiang Baimian's voice just fell, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the side of the small soil bag:
"Two people are here."
Long Yuehong, who had been on guard for the surrounding area, immediately raised the muzzle of the Berserker "Assault Rifle"~EbookFREE.me~ Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen also followed.
A few minutes later, they saw the two people.
This is also a combination of a man and a woman, the former is less than 1.8 meters, forty years old, dressed in long black hair, with a very temperament beard around his mouth, even if he is nearly middle-aged, he can still make people. It is easy to see that he used to be a beautiful man.
Female in her early 1.7 meter, blonde hair, blue eyes, profound features, she is very beautiful.
What the two of them have in common is that they both wear loose, rare robes, one dark and one gray-blue, and the latter has various strange and abstract symbols on the surface.
Jiang Baimian moved his eyebrows and asked loudly:
"What are you two doing?"
The blond, blue-eyed woman in a gray-blue robe immediately stopped, wrapped her right hand with her left hand, raised her eyebrows, and bowed in salute:
"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun."
She uses a rounded gray language instead of the Honghe language that she seems to be able to use.
The middle-aged man smiled and said:
"I'm not familiar with her. It didn't take long for me to smell the fragrance here. I wanted to come over and try my luck to see if anyone showed kindness."
"It may not be kind." Jiang Baimian pointed at the small rabbit on the campfire calmly.
"So now that I met, isn't it good for everyone to chat?" The middle-aged man kept smiling, "It's not that I am boasting. Everyone I met praised me for being knowledgeable and knowledgeable."
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Baimian made a concealed gesture to Shang Jianyao and others, asking them not to relax their guard.
she then smiled:
"Okay."
