The scene of the outpost has been completed, and there is about a fifth of the Lotus Plains. In addition to the huge waiting hall, there are many mud huts and wells. There is no need to worry about living and drinking water, but the food needs to be taken care of by itself.

People have limited backpack space and can carry food for up to a few days.

If we don't want to get food from the wild, we can't stand on the Lotus Plain.

The cost of a large group of people to and from Camp Dawn was too high.

A small number of people faced difficulties in leaving the outpost.

Outside is full of scavengers known as the "Motono 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 broken bucket, threw it into the well, and took out half of the bucket. Although there is not much water in the well, it is not a real dry well, but the water quality is not ideal. Red suspended solids turn the water a light red. The fat man picked up the bucket and took a sip, and the result came out directly.

Lei Ming asked, "What's wrong?"

"Phew, what kind of stinky water is this, it's worse than urine!"

"It's good to have water to drink!" thunder roughly counted, there were more than 30 wells. "There seem to be a lot of monsters out there. There are many gatherers on our team who hunt monsters to solve food problems. ”

Still, the situation is difficult.

The entire team of more than 1,000 people, even with Zhang Tong, has the skill of collecting. A monster that collects two or three portions of food is fine, how can this situation satisfy the demand? Bringing your own food can last for three days. During this time, you will get food from the wild for two consecutive days.

Food will be cut off within a week at most, at which point the troops will have to return to the camp.

Zhang Tong came out and said to everyone, "Find a place to live." Don't go out if you're okay. If you hear any sound, first close the doors and windows. As far as I know, there is a natural disaster called the Bloody Wave on the Xueguang Plain. If people were outside when the outbreak happened, they would definitely die!"

"What is a blood tide?"

"Common insect disasters in the Xueguang Plain, I bought relevant materials in the library yesterday." Lei Ming had to admire Zhang Tong so that the hidden information could be discovered, "This place is a kind of thing called a blood locust, which does not eat grass, only meat. The blood tide actually refers to a plague of locusts. This locust is not an ordinary locust, but an ordinary monster. ”

The bereaved dog said, "Why don't you kill a few thousand to level up?"

"Blood Locusts are no more than level 10 and cannot gain experience. If it is attacked by thousands of locusts at the same time, the mage's shield will be useless and will turn into a pile of bones in the blink of an eye. This blood tide is made up of more than 1 million locusts that can almost destroy us. ”

The fat man suddenly uttered a dirty word: "So many, have mercy on me! The locusts can eat us, what is the situation now?"

There are very few records in the camp library about the Xueguang Plains. Thunder did his homework before coming.

Zhang Tong was very satisfied: "There are no easy-going animals on the Xueguang Plain. So hide it tightly, especially the fat ones, you have the most meat!"

"Eat fat man's meat and don't die!"

"Say less," the lost dog kicked the fat man, "looking for a house." ”

Zhang Tong said to Liu Shuiyan and Ye Qianqiu: "Several groups will come over, and we will discuss the action plan in a few days." ”

Some opted for mud huts. The head of delegation and several elders attended a meeting. The floor in the house was pitted, empty, and unfurnished.

"The environment here is worse than expected. Zhang Tong put the map on the ground and unfolded it. "No matter how many, let's get straight to the point. ”

A hint of brilliance flashed in Liu Shuiyan's bright eyes: "This is ......"

Zhang Tong explained: "The regional map of the Xueguang Plain. ”

Liu Shuiyan pulled up his bow and knelt on one knee to look at the map. Liu Shuiyan's eyes widened as he looked at it. This map is very detailed. Small hills and rivers were marked. The type and distribution of monsters are displayed directly on it. The Lotus Plain is really dangerous. If you explore alone, I don't know how many people will give their lives.

"Where did you get this map?"

"That's not the point. Our manpower is nowhere near enough to be inferior to the alien attack. The priority is to gain a foothold and convince more mercenaries to come. ”

"What do you want to do?" When Liu Shuiyan lowered her head, she suddenly noticed a little spring light faintly appearing in the collar. She quickly clutched her chest. Seeing that Zhang Tong didn't notice, she immediately added: "Those cowards are not easy to persuade. ”

Zhang Tong said: "Interests, interests will make people crazy." The best way to do this is to capture a secret kill scene and then record a video and send it to a forum so that everyone can see the harvest of the secret kill scene. ”

Liu Shuiyan frowned slightly and asked, "Are you sure?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Zhang Tong said, pointing to the map, "In the nearest little secret land, there are three [Fallen Mage Castle, [Blood Corpse City] and [Monster Forest. The train can be reached directly. The limit for the number of people in this little secret is 10-20 people. We might as well give it a try without other races participating. ”

Cheng Bo scratched his head: "Which one is suitable?"

Zhang Tong pretended to be embarrassed: "Due to lack of intelligence, it is impossible to judge accurately. However, judging by the name of the secret realm, [Fallen Mage Castle] is on a mission in a castle, while [Blood City] and [Monster Forest] are in the city and forest, respectively. The previous map was smaller and easier to explore. This could be simpler. We might as well start with [Fallen Mage's Castle]. ”

"The biggest problem we face is the waste pickers out there. Scavengers are eyeing the streets. It is difficult for our mercenaries to hunt smoothly. People from this station are also vulnerable to ambushes. ”

Ye Qianqiu snorted, "Why don't you find it and put it all together?"

"Scavengers don't have a fixed place to live, they can't live together. If a group of scavengers is attacked, other scavengers will certainly support it, and there are no small numbers of them. We have more than 1,000 people, I'm afraid it's hard to cope. ”

"And then?"

"We can send elite assassins and killers to assassinate lone scavengers," Lei Ming suggested. Scavengers are, after all, an intelligent race. When they find out that the members near the outpost have been assassinated in large numbers, they will definitely withdraw their troops from the vicinity, first fighting for a certain living space and guaranteeing a food supply for several days. When the people of the camp come and have enough strength, they will think about completely eliminating the scavengers. ”

"You can try. Zhang Tong nodded: "Then let Scorpio and Wang Ling organize a team of assassins to start acting tonight." ”

Several people are discussing plans for the next few days.

A shrill alarm sounded outside.

"What happened again?"

Zhang Tong pushed the door and went out to see what was going on. A muffled voice from a guard robot came over the loudspeaker: "Warning!

"What? Blood Tide!" Zhang Tong knew that similar natural disasters often occurred in the Xueguang Plain. He didn't want to touch it so soon. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, hide in the house and close the doors and windows!"

There was a buzzing sound in the distance. It's the sound of insects flapping their wings at high speed. It's more like locking 100 million mosquitoes and people in the same tiny room. The whole ear is filled with a buzzing sound that makes people feel weak.

Zhang Tong shouted with all his might. The buzz outside was so loud that it almost drowned out his voice.

The blood tide was extremely fast, Zhang Tong just hid in the room, the sky was obviously dark, and the entire outpost was shrouded in a red cloud. The whole world is filled with swarms of locusts. Although I can't see the outside with my own eyes, I can feel the sight outside.

Suddenly, an old broken brick on the roof was smashed, revealing a small gap.

Zhang Tong's face suddenly changed: "Stop!"

Thunder lifted its shield to plug the hole. Hundreds of locusts poured in through the gap. This notch became the size of a skull. Finally, I saw what the blood locusts looked like. They are called locusts, but they are very different from locusts. They are only smaller than the palm of the hand. They are blood-red all over, their forelimbs are like sharp scythes, they have chewing mouthparts, and they can grind rocks easily.

Cheng Bo took out a character, placed it on the missing part, and turned it into a blue barrier to close the gap. Thunder seized the opportunity to climb up the house and block it with a shield to prevent more locusts from entering. Several people had more or less blood locusts on them. Zhang Tong felt that several pieces of flesh had been gnawed off his neck and face. Thunder was surrounded by dozens of blood locusts, but even with tough skin, he was able to resist for a while.

Zhang Tong pulled out his double swords, the blue sharp sword slashed, the blood locusts were cut off one by one volley, Wang Ling threw out a flying needle, ordering dozens of locusts to die. After the efforts of several people, the locusts that burrowed into the house were finally removed.

Several people had blood on their faces. I can't believe it. Apparently, this weakened bug is so cruel and bloodthirsty.

The bleeding did not stop. About ten minutes passed. There was a foul stench in the air. On the ground and on the roof, the blood flow left a large number of blood masses. When a creature is seen, they jump ferociously, but not in large enough quantities to pose a threat to humans.

The blood wave killed 22 people, mainly because the doors and windows were not properly closed, or the houses had holes, allowing a large influx of blood locusts. Most of the body armor of the deceased was intact, but all the flesh on the body was eaten. Death is very sad.

Liu Shuiyan's neck was bitten several times, his breastplate was stained red with blood, his plump twin peaks not only rose and fell with his breathing, but his willow eyebrows also stood up with anger. Among the dead were many romantic mercenary women.

"We should be glad that we encountered a high tide at the station, not in the wild!" Zhang Tong said, stepping on a blood locust and looking up at the red sky, "Once the blood tide has passed, it will be difficult to find food nearby." Our plans will be accelerated. Tonight we're going to challenge the fallen mage's castle!"

The Blood Tide empties nearby mobs. The mercenaries will be stagnant for up to three days, or they will face a food shortage.

Zhang Tong plans to spend his time challenging [this fallen mage castle], the only secret territory he is familiar with in the Lotus Plain. Although the difficulty is not low, with his experience and strong team, it should not be difficult to pass smoothly. Because of the blood flow, there is no need to worry about alien killings. Other mercenaries ambushed the scavengers near the station.

The greater the number of scavengers, the less environmental stress the space station will face.
