About an hour later, escorted by another helicopter gunship, a large truck, with more than a dozen people, drove to the scene where Zhao Zijian killed the strange beast.

When the car stopped next to the helicopter, the men in the car jumped down, and one by one they surrounded the strange beast on the ground with a different head, and kept wandering and looking.

Within three days, this was the third alien beast that Zhao Zijian had killed.

In the end, Huo Dongwen, who watched the remaining three alien beasts flee in a hurry, did not have time to test it at all, at this time, crossed his waist and ordered everyone to tie up the alien beast, lift it up by the helicopter, and finally put it on the heavy truck - looking at the helicopter's struggling appearance, it is roughly estimated that this guy weighs at least ten tons.

Zhao Zijian stood by and watched for a while, went to find the driver of the truck, and asked him, "Have you come all the way and met Jingniao or other strange beasts?"

The truck driver nodded and said, "I met a few waves, all of them were Jing Birds, and when I saw the helicopter, I was very nervous, but I didn't mean to attack, that is, I was making a show of showing my teeth and claws on the periphery." ”

Zhao Zijian nodded.

Minghu City has a city size of millions of people, and the outer ring road is quite developed, and it is obviously not easy to clean it up. However, in the past three days, the scale of their small team led by Zhao Zijian, with the clearing of the road, has completely expanded in a geometric progression, and there is no shortage of manpower.

After opening up several major roads in the east and west and north and south, since yesterday, Qin Bingxuan has begun to arrange people, planning to open up several ring roads in the next week, so as to form a new road traffic system in Minghu City together with the vertical and horizontal roads.

This opening is just beginning, but it is still very easy to clear a simple two-lane and single-lane road, which preliminarily ensures that within the safe range after Zhao Zijian expels the alien beasts, the land transportation of their group can be reached at any time and is unimpeded.

Seeing that this big beast was loaded onto a heavy truck, and even the huge head that was cut off by Zhao Zijian did not fall, and it was also hoisted up and put in the carriage, and a group of people also got back on the big truck and helicopter, ready to return, Zhao Zijian turned around and got on his helicopter, ready to continue today's hunting trip.

In just three days, expelling hundreds of Beijing birds and keeping other strange beasts out of Minghu City is currently the limit of Zhao Zijian's ability.

Because he didn't have to think about himself, but a large team that had swelled to a full seventy or eighty thousand people at the moment—and even those in the city who had not joined their team at the moment, maybe hundreds of thousands, twenty thousands, or more, were within his protection.

After three days and four or five laps, he gradually summed up some patterns.

Topographically, Minghu City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a large river in the north. From Minghu City to the north, northeast, and west, there are plains, and he saw several new alien beasts, which are generally larger, and to the south and southeast, they are mountainous areas, and the alien beasts are smaller, but they are obviously more aggressive and more flexible.

For the time being, I haven't encountered a powerful beast whose strength far exceeds that of the Jing Bird.

The helicopter took off again, and Huo Dongwen looked a little depressed.

Zhao Zijian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and closed his eyes again to recuperate.

However, after the helicopter flew for a while, he still took the initiative to open his eyes and said, "The circle to the west is a little bigger." ”

There was a lot of noise in the cabin, but he didn't have to shout, the sound was clear to everyone's ears.

The driver said yes and adjusted his direction slightly.

In this way, they immediately circled at least a dozen or twenty Beijing birds they saw along the way into the flying circle of the helicopter, but Zhao Zijian did not mean to kill, but Huo Dongwen was eager to try again and again - Zhao Zijian's eyes were constantly patrolling in the field.

It's already a big field.

Helicopters glide over roads and rivers from time to time, as well as many villages and towns that have seen no sign of human activity – just a few days ago, they were all deserted. And now, even if there are survivors, they must have already found a way to hide.

In the face of the threat of various powerful beasts, they did not have a person like Zhao Zijian to protect themselves, and even used knives to open the way and draw a safe range belonging to humans.

In some villages, the traces of being run over by strange beasts are clearly visible - many houses have been knocked down, and it is difficult to see the corpses exposed to the outdoors on the ground.

Zhao Zijian sighed imperceptibly.

Suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately said, "Over there, go over and have a look!"

Everyone soon noticed something unusual over there.

The helicopter flew steadily.

Without waiting for it to drop in height, Zhao Zijian jumped directly again.

Huo Dongwen also jumped down.

In fact, when you look down from the helicopter, you can see it more clearly - it is a field with overwintering wheat planted in the field, which is a field that can be seen everywhere in the winter in the north. But in the field in front of everyone, a huge black hole suddenly appeared at this moment.

According to rough estimates, the diameter of this black hole is at least a few tens of meters, and when Zhao Zijian jumped down and simply looked at it, it was almost certain that its diameter should be about 100 meters.

It's very big, very deep, and when you look down, you can only see the black rumbling, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.

It appears in such a field, which is particularly abrupt.

Huo Dongwen's grasp of the body shape is not very smooth and skilled, jumping down from a height of at least a few tens of meters, he is a little embarrassed, but at this time, he can't care about being dissatisfied with his body style, he got up and quickly ran to the side of this big pit, and looked down in surprise.

Zhao Zijian took a deep breath and slowly spit it out.

Huo Dongwen said, "Master, you say...... Those big guys can't come out of here, do they? They used to live underground? But how did they get up......? At least 100 meters?"

Zhao Zijian pursed his lips and did not answer.

In fact, he couldn't answer either.

Because he also doesn't know anything about it.

All the experiences he had experienced in his previous life did not include this.

In the time and space he had experienced, although there were also spirit beasts, they were all like Huang Duanzi, the animals that already existed in the world, after experiencing the baptism of aura revival, they themselves underwent transformation and evolution, and their strength began to far surpass their own kind. However, they have never really been a threat to humanity, let alone challenged to the top of the food chain.

And in this life, like Jing Bird, like the big guy he just killed, obviously all have this ability, not to mention the currently known, there are more powerful beasts that far exceed their strength.

They came out of nowhere, and they appeared overnight, all over the mountains.

Where do they come from? Why are they so powerful, so powerful that they have completely detached themselves from the original system of animal and plant existence on Earth?

Is it from here?

Taking a deep breath again, Zhao Zijian restrained the urge to jump in his heart, turned his head and glanced at the helicopter that was slowly lowering the altitude, and said to Huo Dongwen: "After you go back later, you inform them to find some professional instruments and professional technicians to measure the depth, and we will come over together tomorrow to measure how deep it is." Waiting for Huo Dongwen to nod and agree, he thought about it and said, "Take a few photos, it's best to record a section and bring it back to show them." ”

With that, he stretched out his foot and stamped on the edge of the pit.

The ground is hard, but it's not at all the feeling of the land that has been frozen hard in winter.

In fact, although Zhao Zijian grew up in the city, he followed his parents back to his rural hometown to accompany his grandparents for the New Year many times during the Chinese New Year, and he went to the farmland more than once in winter.

Because the winters in the north are often dry, the floating soil in the farmland is actually very thick, and it will sink into the feet.

Seeing that Huo Dongwen took out his mobile phone and took a lot of photos, Zhao Zijian turned around and walked over to the helicopter and shouted to him: "Let's go, continue patrolling." ”

The helicopter was quickly pulled up again, and looking down from the glass window of the cabin, the big hole in the winter wheat field was like a big open mouth, bottomless, black and rumbling, as if it could swallow everything.

Zhao Zijian retracted his gaze and let out a long breath.

…………

When the helicopter returned to the campus of Qidong University after completing today's hunting tour, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, much later than yesterday.

After getting off the plane, everyone went to the restaurant to eat separately.

After eating, Huo Dongwen went to the relevant departments and asked to mobilize equipment and personnel to participate in tomorrow's patrol, while Zhao Zijian went around to the courtyard behind the restaurant.

Sure enough, Nan Yuanfeng was in the yard.

He held a thick piece of bone in his hand that had been stripped of flesh.

Turning his head and seeing Zhao Zijian coming in, he knocked the back of the bone chopping knife in his hand on the bone, and said, "This thing is amazing, hollow, very light, but very hard." ”

After a pause, seeing that Zhao Zijian had already come over, he suddenly swung his knife and slashed it down.

There was a crunch.

The knife was fine, but there was only a white mark left on the bone.

He said, "It's much harder than those alloys!" I just tried it with a thin bone, and I could cut it with all my might, but this guy, its leg bones, couldn't cut it at all. I can't do it with all my might. ”

At this, he sighed and said, "I can't imagine how hard it would have been for us to kill one of these things without you." It's hard beyond imagination. ”

Zhao Zijian was silent, and suddenly said, "Did the big guy come here in the morning?"

Nan Yuanfeng nodded when he heard this, put away the kitchen knife and bones in his hand, carried it upside down, and said while walking into the room: "The skin is harder than Jingniao, I took a lot of effort to break its skin along your knife edge, and it has been divided, but it can only be cut off the meat, and the bones are not easy to break." ”

After a pause, he added: "After finishing it, I will have a lot of important parts transported to the experimental building." Let's wait to see their laboratory tests and analysis reports! These things, just engaged in biological research, I don't think they can study anything, they are far from the category of ordinary organisms, I guess I have to pull people who are engaged in metals and new materials to study together, and it is possible to come up with something. ”

Zhao Zijian smiled rarely, as if he thought Lao Nan's joke was good.

The two of them returned to the restaurant, and it was almost two o'clock at this time, and although their group practiced a rotating meal system, there were still very few people who came to eat at this point.

Nan Yuanfeng went to put away his knives and bones, Zhao Zijian found a random seat in the restaurant and sat down, and after a while, Nan Yuanfeng came out with a kettle.

One person has a cup, and there are some tea leaves in the cup, and when the hot water is flushed, it is considered tea.

Sitting around with three or five of them in the past, drinking tea when the mood is light is not the same thing at all, but at the moment, it is already a rare enjoyment for survivors.

Zhao Zijian mentioned the big black hole that he saw when he flew more than ten kilometers to the west on the way to hunt today, and invited Nan Yuanfeng to go over and take a look tomorrow, and Nan Yuanfeng agreed.

Then, Zhao Zijian slowly blew and drank a few sips of tea, and then suddenly asked: "Take care of the food problem of tens of thousands of people, it seems that you have done a good job." ”

Nan Yuanfeng shook his head and sighed, "Catch the ducks on the shelves!"

After a pause, he said again: "Actually, this matter, Qin Dashao can arrange it for anyone, there are people who have such complete equipment in their schools, this matter is not difficult." ”

Speaking of this, he said with a smile: "Although I used to cook and sell food, in fact, I may not be a suitable candidate, but Qin Dashao thinks about it more, since he said let me take care of this, I will take care of it for a few days, and when everything is slowly formalized, let him arrange someone to replace me." ”

Zhao Zijian groaned, drank tea, nodded, and said, "When the time comes, you can just discuss." ”

Although he has not really discussed this, he has always adhered to the principle that for management matters, he will not interfere without meddling, and leave it to a professional person like Qin Bingxuan to manage.

Second, Nan Yuanfeng's identity is special, not only is his future achievements destined to surpass countless spiritual cultivators, and he will become a god-level master who can be counted all over the world, even now, in their team in Minghu City, he is definitely the top five, or even the top three.

Therefore, in fact, what he wants to do, what he is willing to do, and what he is unwilling to do, it is not something that can be solved by simply saying how to arrange you - treating him as a master, Qin Bingxuan is actually very cautious, and let him temporarily take charge of the arrangement of the restaurant and food, and he was also looking for Zhao Zijian to pass through at that time.

Because although he is a good friend with Zhao Zijian, he is only a good friend, and he is obviously not the part of the power that Zhao Zijian and Qin Bingxuan can use like an arm.

So, very direct power, don't worry about handing it over to him, afraid that he won't listen to the command, but now everyone's situation, is neither able nor easy to marginalize him, in this case, combined with his old business, let him be responsible for managing the restaurant, managing the big problem of the ever-expanding team of people, but it is not a light or heavy grasp, it can be regarded as just right.

After sucking and drinking most of the cup of tea, Zhao Zijian put down the teacup, was stunned for a long time, and said: "The days of the past are gone forever." ”

Nan Yuanfeng was silent, and it was also after a long time before he nodded, looking reminiscing, sighed, and said, "Yes, it's gone." ”
