Chapter 572: Tamu Town

Katamu is just a small county town in the vast Xin/Xinjiang, located on the edge of the entrance to the vast desert.

Generally, there is a great shortage of water in the desert, and there is not much rain in a year, and the scorching sun is scorching hot on weekdays, which is why there is no grass in the desert, all of which are sun-cracked mud and sand, and sandstorms are flying all over the sky.

The desert is a tropical region, and the small town of Katamu next to the desert is also a small town with very few water resources, and it is basically cracked land caused by lack of water at a glance.

When a person walks on the ground, the scorching surface temperature immediately penetrates the soles of his shoes and makes the soles of his feet feel a burst of warmth, just like the feeling of running his feet in warm water.

However, man is a very adaptable animal, and after getting used to the warmth of the surface of the earth, he gradually loses consciousness, and only feels that the soles of his feet are slippery, as if walking in the mud.

The small town of Katamu is too hot, the source of water is scarce, the surface is arid, and it is not suitable for growing food, so you can only grow some camel thorns, sand dates, saxons, sandy watermelons, cacti, and some extremely drought-tolerant desert plants and weeds.

If you can't grow rice and wheat, it will be extremely difficult to eat in the small town of Katam, and you can't eat ostrich meat and camels and sandy watermelons and cantaloupe every day, right?

In ancient times, the information was blocked by underdeveloped transportation,

Even many people don't know how huge the ancient country of China is, and those who are lucky enough to look at the map will understand how small the place they are in. People who don't have a map to see think that they have circled around this land, or even the one-third of an acre of land in several surrounding villages and towns, think that it is remarkable, and they have no idea how vast the outside world is.

In ancient times, the small town of Katamu could not grow grain, and the villages and tribes in the distance could grow food and raise cattle and sheep because of the heavy rainfall, and there were lakes and grasslands nearby.

When there was no water to drink on a severe drought day, they all ran to the neighboring villages with buckets to pick them up, and the neighboring villages continued to look for water sources when they didn't have them. If they went too far, they began to move their families, and little by little they went to find places with abundant water resources to settle down, and then when there was a shortage of water, they continued to move to other places, which is now called fleeing.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people live in Katamu who are willing to suffer from drought and trade locally produced desert flora and fauna for food and water.

In addition, in just a few decades since the establishment of the Huaxia Kingdom, various high-tech technologies have developed rapidly, communication and transportation have become popular, people have learned more knowledge, and more and more people have seen the excitement of the outside world.

It's like a northerner, who comes to live and work in the south for a while, and never wants to go back to the north, and endures the days of soaking urine and beating with a wooden stick.

If there are no parents and some important relatives at home, to be honest, people who come out to work in the north really don't want to go back, and most of them have bought real estate in the south.

The same is true of the inhabitants of the small town of Katamu, who have left here and are not returning, and there are now only a dozen or so families left in the former huge town.

These dozen families, five or six of which are lonely and widowed elderly, their children have gone to the outside world to work to earn money, they have lived in this barren one-third of an acre of land for most of their lives, everything here has been completely integrated into their blood, has become a closely related part of life. In addition, the Chinese people's idea of returning to their roots is particularly serious, and they want to settle in the local area even if they die, so these old people have become the ruins watchmen of the small town of Katamu.

Except for the old people who stayed here and waited for death, the remaining families stayed here to do business.

Because most of the locals choose to flee, many of the empty land has become their free farmland, where they can grow watermelons and cantaloupes in large quantities, and they can earn a lot of money all year round, many times better than working outside. But everyone comes back to farm, and when the area is small, it doesn't make money.

Moreover, the Huaxia government knew that there was an endless desert next to the small town of Katamu, and it was sparsely populated, so it set up an experimental base. With the experimental base, those soldiers and scientists need water to eat, drink, and Lazar, so the government department established a water supply project, which directly sent water to the experimental base with pipes, and also solved the problem of water for the residents of Katamu Town.

It is thanks to the blessing of the experimental base that they can use the same tap water as in the city, and these remaining aborigines are willing to stay here and become the last watchmen of the small town of Katamu.

Many of the old houses in the town have collapsed, and no one will come to repair them, and if they do, no one will live in them. By the time this generation had all been settled, the town was truly a deserted ruin.

"Chief Lu, there is an ordnance experimental base in front of you!"

A young man in a dark green military uniform pointed to a large factory building in front of him, and said to another young man in civilian clothes in the co-pilot.

This young man is Lu Xuan, who came directly by helicopter from Shengjing City.

Not long after he got off the helicopter, he was driven away by an intelligence contact who had been waiting nearby for a long time.

The outer walls of the experimental base were about ten meters high, all of which were made of concrete drills, and there was a fifty-centimeter-wide strip in the middle, presumably dividing the house into two floors. The top layer of factory-like iron sheets is used to insulate and absorb solar energy into electricity, so that people in the laboratory no longer feel so dry, hot and fully utilized.

In addition, modern air conditioning manufacturing technology is so advanced that even if the sun is shining outside, it can make people feel shivering inside the house.

The experimental base is very large, after entering the gate of this building, it is still a vast desert as far as the eye can see, and there are even more than a dozen large buildings next to it and in the distance, including the canteen experimental building, the arsenal, the dormitory building, and some floors that even Lu Xuan doesn't know what they are used for.

At the same time, there are all kinds of military cars, trucks, tanks, airplanes, and artillery nearby, as well as sentries standing guard outside with guns and staring at the scorching sun.

The population density of Huaxia is too high, and even in the mountains of the township, there is a village a few kilometers away, and if you want to use it as a weapon test base, you can only go to this uninhabited desert with a very empty area to conduct experiments.

"That's the building in front."

After the military Humvee had been running on the sand for a while, the young man who had been in charge pointed to a large building surrounded by a group of soldiers in front of him, and slowly spoke.

"Are all the monsters trapped in that building?" Lu Xuan glanced at it and asked casually.

The young man nodded, and replied, "Yes, they are all sealed inside, but the building is very large, and the number of more than two hundred is not shown much in it, and they are clever and good at hiding, so it is easy to fall into their ambush if they rush in." ”

"These guys are really tough!" Lu Xuan sighed.

When the young man heard Lu Xuan say this, he hurriedly followed and agreed, "Isn't this right, all of them are amazing, and they are very smart, which is really a headache and difficult to deal with." ”

When Lu Xuan wanted to respond to something, the car stopped with a "magnetic" sound, and had already arrived in front of this experimental building full of monsters.

"Commander Lu, your comrades in the same battle are at the front, and the soldiers who pass through these encirclements can see them!" After the car stopped, the young man pointed to the densely guarded warriors in front of him, and reminded softly.

"It's a good thing." Lu Xuan said politely, then opened the car door and got out of the car, and walked towards the monsters who were in a stalemate with the monsters.

As he walked, his perceptual abilities were unleashed, enveloping a kilometer radius of the building.

Now Lu Xuan was about 100 meters away from the experimental building, and the range that his perception ability could detect was only 900 meters. But the distance of 900 meters has not yet enveloped the whole building, and this building is bigger than expected!

It's no wonder that more than 200 monsters are difficult to find inside, and with such plenty of space, even if they hide alone at a distance, it is difficult to find them. If the huddle lurks together, it will be a blow to the special forces soldiers who rush in.

"This"

The moment his perception ability penetrated into the experimental building, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, because he finally saw the monsters he had heard of for a long time.

All of them are very tall and strong, not like normal humans at all, all of them are more than two meters tall like the basketball giant Yao Ming, but their bodies are stronger than Da Yao, all of them are very muscular and full of explosions, full of muscles.

With this kind of bomb-like figure, even if it does not have super combat effectiveness, appearing in large numbers in the world will make the people panic, and even become an evil force that is difficult to annihilate

It's not a problem to fight three ordinary people at a time with this body, not to mention that it still has combat effectiveness comparable to that of top special forces.

One by one, they have become bigger and stronger after taking the drug, and more importantly, their eyes are not like normal humans.

The monsters' eyes are all blood-red, as if they are in a state of madness and complete madness.

There were a total of thirty two monsters in Lu Xuan's sight, some of them hid in large objects to take cover and wait for the special forces to rush in, and some of them sat idly on the ground and ate human flesh with relish, completely ignoring the situation that there were heavy troops outside.

"Click" a monster holds the dead arm of a certain warrior, biting like a chicken leg, and even swallowing some soft bones into the stomach, which shows how hard/hard their teeth are after the upgrade.

The ground in the detection area was covered with dried and black-purple blood, which soaked the entire floor and changed its color, which was enough to see how terrible the battle was and how heavy the casualties were.
