Vol 3 Chapter 31: blood

The scene of the outpost is fully present, about one fifth of the plain. In addition to the huge waiting hall, there are also many adobe houses and wells. There is no need to worry about living and drinking, but the food needs to be solved by yourself.
People have limited backpack space and can carry up to several days of food.
If we don't want to get food from the wild, human beings can't gain a foothold in the Blood Plain.
The cost of a large group of people to and from Dawn Camp was too high.
Small groups face difficulties in leaving the outpost.
Outside are scavengers called "Wild Bandits"!
Food cannot be transported directly from the camp.
Liu Shuiyan asked: "Is there water in the well?"
The fat man immediately ran over, picked up the tattered bucket, threw it into the well and pulled out a half bucket. Although there is not much well water, it is really not a dry well, but the water quality is not ideal, and the red suspended matter makes the water light red. The fat man took a bucket and took a sip, and it sprayed out.
Thunder asked: "What's wrong?"
"My alas! What kind of smelly water is this, it's harder to drink than urine!"
"It's good to have water to drink!" Lei Ming roughly counted, and there were more than thirty wells. "There seem to be a lot of monsters outside, and there are a lot of collectors in our team. By hunting monsters, we can barely solve food problems. "
That being said, the situation is still difficult.
The whole team has more than a thousand people, even if Zhang Mu is added, he has collection skills. For a monster, it is good to collect two or three servings of food. How can this meet the needs? Bring your own food for three days. During this time, you will continue to get food from the wild for up to two days.
Food will be out for up to a week, at which time you must return to the camp.
Zhang Mu came out and said to everyone, "Find a place to stay, and do n’t go out if you are fine. If you hear any noise, please close the doors and windows first. As far as I know, there is a natural disaster called blood surge on the Xueguang Plain. At the time of the outbreak, people were out there, absolutely dead! "
"What is blood tide?"
"A kind of worm disaster common in the Xueguang Plain, I bought related materials yesterday in the library." Lei Ming had to admire Zhang Mu, such concealed materials can be found. "This place has a kind of thing called blood locusts, don't eat Grass only eats meat. The blood tide actually refers to the plague of locusts, which are not ordinary locusts, but ordinary monsters. "
The dog said, "Why not kill a few tens of thousands to upgrade?"
"Blood locusts do not exceed level 10 and cannot gain experience. If they are attacked by hundreds or thousands of locusts at the same time, the mage shields will not work. In the blink of an eye, it will turn into a pile of bones. The blood surge is composed of more than one million locusts, which can almost Let us die "
The fat man made a swear word: "So much? Papa! What is the situation now, locusts can eat us?"
The camp library recorded very little information on the Xueguang Plain, and Thunder really did his homework.
Zhang Mu is very satisfied: "There are no creatures on the blood-glow plain, so you should hide it tightly, especially the fat, you have the most meat!"
"It's not fatal to eat fat man's meat!"
"Just a few words." The funeral kicked the fat man, "look for a house."
Zhang Mu told Liu Hookah and Ye Qianqiu: "Several heads come over and we will discuss the action plan within a few days."
Several people chose a clay house. The head of the group and several elders went in for a meeting. The ground inside the house was hollow, empty and surrounded by no furniture.
"The environment here is worse than expected." Zhang Mu put the map on the ground and rolled it out. "No matter how much, let's start directly."
Liu Shuiyan's bright eyes flashed: "This is ..."
Zhang Mu explained: "A regional map of the Bloodlight Plain."
Liu Hookah folded his bow and leaned down on one knee to look at the map. Liu Shuiyan's eyes widened as he looked at them. The map was very detailed. The small hills and small rivers were marked out. The types and distribution of monsters were visually displayed on it. The Bloodlight Plain is really dangerous. If you explore by yourself, I don't know how many people will give their lives.
"Where did you get this map?"
"This is not the point. Our manpower is far from enough to be lower than alien attacks. The top priority is to stand firm and convince more mercenaries to come over."
"What do you want to do?" When Liu Shisha lowered her head, she suddenly noticed a little spring in the neckline. She quickly covered her chest and saw Zhang Mu didn't notice it. She said immediately: "The cowards are not easy to convince."
Zhang Mu said: "The benefits, the benefits can make people crazy. The best way is to capture a killing secret, then record a video, and then post it to the forum to let everyone see the harvest of the killing secret."
Liu Shuiyan Liu Mei asked slightly: "Are you sure?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Zhang Mu pointed at the map and said, "There are three [Degenerate Mage Castles], [Blood Corpse], and [Monster Forest] in the nearest small realm, which can be reached by train. The small realm is limited. The number is 10-20 people, without the participation of aliens, we might as well give it a try. "
Cheng Bo scratched his head: "Which one is right?"
Zhang Mu pretended to be in a difficult position: "Because of lack of intelligence, it is impossible to judge accurately. However, [Fallen Mage Castle] from the name of the mystery is to perform the task in a castle, and [Blood City] and [Monster Forest] respectively In a city and a forest. The former has a smaller map and is easier to explore. It may be simpler. Let ’s start with [The Fallen Mage Castle]. "
"The biggest trouble we face is still the scavengers outside. The scavengers look at each other with difficulty, and our mercenaries are very difficult to go out for hunting, and people coming from this station are also vulnerable to ambush."
Ye Qianqiu snorted: "Why not find out, take it all away?"
"Scavengers do not have a fixed settlement and cannot live together. If an attack is carried out on a group of scavengers, the other scavengers will certainly support them. The number of them is not small. With more than a thousand of us, it is difficult to deal with them. "
"What then?"
Lei Ming proposed: "We can send elite assassins, assassins, and assassinations of the scavengers who have lost orders. After all, scavengers are intelligent races. When members near the outposts are found to have been assassinated, they will definitely withdraw the nearby forces and win There must be some living space to ensure that food is available for a few days. When the people in the camp come over and have enough strength, they are considering the total elimination of scavengers. "
"You can try." Zhang Mu nodded. "Then let Scorpion and Wang Ling, organize a team of assassins and assassins, and start operations tonight."
Several people are discussing plans for the next few days.
There was a harsh sirens outside.
"What happened again?"
Zhang Mu pushed the door and went out to see what was happening. The dumb voice of a guarding robot Mu Ne came out of the loudspeaker: "Warning! Blood tide is approaching!"
"What? Blood tide!" Zhang Mu knew that similar natural disasters were frequent on the Xueguang Plain. He didn't want to run into it so soon, and shouted, "Everyone should hide in the house, the doors and windows are closed!"
There is a buzzing sound in the distance, which is an insect-like creature. The sound of wings flapping at high speed is more like closing a hundred million mosquitoes in the same small room with people. The ears are full of buzzing sounds, making people feel weak.
Zhang Mu shouted with all his strength, and the hum outside was too loud, almost overshadowing his voice.
The blood tide was extremely fast, Zhang Mu hid in the room, the sky was obviously dark, and the entire outpost was shrouded in a red cloud. The sky was red and the whole world was filled with locust swarms. Although you can't see the outside with your own eyes, you can feel the scene outside.
Suddenly an old broken brick on the roof was smashed, revealing a small vacancy.
Zhang Mu's face changed suddenly: "Clog it!"
Thunder raised the shield to stop the leak. Hundreds of locusts surged in from the gap, and the gap became the size of the skull. Finally, you can see the appearance of blood locusts. They are called locusts, but they are very different from locusts. They are smaller than the palms of their hands. They are blood-red, have forelimbs like sharp sickles, and have chewing mouthparts. They can easily crush rocks.
Cheng Bo took out a charm and put his hand on the missing part, turning into a blue enchantment to seal the gap. Lei Ming took the opportunity to climb up the house and blocked it with a shield to prevent more locusts from coming in. Several people had blood locusts more or less. Zhang Mu felt that some pieces of meat had been bitten off his neck and face, and Thunder was trapped by dozens of blood locusts. , But even if you use toughened skin, it can temporarily resist for a while.
Zhang Mu took out his two swords, and the blue sharp swordsman blades crossed. The blood locusts were chopped up one by one by volleys. Wang Ling threw out a large number of flying needles and killed dozens of locusts. A few people worked hard, and those who penetrated The locusts in the house were finally cleared.
Several people were bitten with blood on their faces, and they couldn't believe it. The weak insects were so bloodthirsty.
The blood tide did not last long. About ten minutes passed. There was a stinky smell in the air. There were many blood locusts left by the blood tide on the ground and on the roof. When the creatures saw it, they rushed violently, but the quantity was not. More than can pose a threat to people.
Twenty-two people were killed in this blood tide, most of which were the doors and windows were not closed, or the house was leaking, and a large group of blood locusts swarmed in. The armor of the deceased was mostly intact, but the flesh all over his body was eaten up, and his death was very miserable.
Liu Hookah was bitten on the neck by several mouths, blood stained red breastplate, full of double peaks accompanied by breathing, not only undulating, her eyebrows turned upside down, and among the dead were many windy month mercenary women.
"We should be grateful that we encountered a blood tide at the station, not in the wild!" Zhang Mu stepped on a blood locust and looked up at the red sky. "Once the blood tide passes, it will be difficult to find food nearby. Our plan must be accelerated. Tonight Go challenge [The Fallen Mage Castle]! "
The blood tide will empty nearby creatures, and mercenaries will stagnate for up to three days, otherwise they will face food shortages.
Zhang Mu intends to hurry up and challenge [The Fallen Mage Castle]. This is his only familiar secret place in the Bloodlight Plains. Although the difficulty is not low, it should not be difficult to pass smoothly based on his experience and strong team. Because of the blood tide, there is no need to worry about aliens coming over, other mercenaries ambush the scavengers near the station.
The number of scavengers, the less environmental pressure the station faces
