In the middle of the hunting circle, the strongest hyena let out a deep growl, no doubt the leader. Liang Hong thought it was a male hyena, but it was actually a female. Unlike the Asian steppe wolf, the spotted hyena is a matrilineal society.

Bang, the butt hits the shoulder, and the bullet flies out of the chamber. Quickly pull the bolt and a new bullet is loaded. As an all-rounder in the special forces, he has fired tens of thousands of rifle bullets alone, and he is confident in the shot just now. It's a pity that the hand rifle is bolt-action rather than an automatic rifle, and the next shot cannot be fired immediately.

When I looked up again, I saw the hyena that had been shot staggering and giggling. All the advancing hyenas stopped on the spot and let out a low growl, like a human purr. It was much later that Liang Hong learned that spotted hyenas are intelligent creatures, and that different calls mean different things, giggling sounds express fear, and muffled snoring sounds are a prelude to attack.

Suddenly, two strong hyenas jumped out and rushed straight towards Liang Hong.

Bang, the bolt was pulled immediately after the bullet was fired, and the whole action was complete, and another hyena had already rushed forward. The flat end of the rifle is in front of you, and the trigger is pulled.

The hyena paused in the air for a moment, then fell straight down.

Two shots in quick succession occurred in the blink of an eye, only a few seconds apart, a hyena was twitching and struggling at a distance of 200 meters, and a wounded hyena more than a dozen meters away was rolling in a pool of blood. The hyenas that had begun to approach again stopped again, and rattled one after another, the real meaning of which was to pass on the alarm to each other - the guy on the other side who could make a loud noise was dangerous.

Liang Hong did not load again, holding the rifle in one hand, and slowly filling the magazine with the other hand, one, two, three. If the hyenas swarmed together, he didn't know how many shots he could fire, but he just wanted to pull as many pads as he could before being torn to shreds.

One person and one gun, confronting a group of hyenas, until the three defeated hyenas dried up and stopped convulsing, until a lion pack approached, the frightened but unwilling spotted hyenas slowly retreated.

On January 3, Liang Hong did not go out to hunt, and squatted in front of the big tile house in the morning and waited. He went in and looked at the barracks, and the room was empty, with a thick tube in the center. How does the system conjure people out, it will not make people climb out of the pipe directly.

At noon, the door finally opened, and soldiers in gray uniforms strode out. With a height of 1.7 meters, yellow-black skin, and a familiar Asian face, he looks like a mountain man who has come out of the farmland.

Very disappointed, the cotton uniform is ugly, the gray flutter color is not good-looking, and the open cuffs are even less practical, and it is estimated that there will be countless mosquitoes and schistosomes waiting to burrow. What disappointed Liang Hong the most was that such a soldier was actually empty-handed, could a soldier without weapons still be counted as a soldier?

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander and Soldier 001 will report to you."

The gray-clothed mountaineer walked up to Liang Hong and raised his right hand to salute. Unlike the Chinese military salute, with the palm facing outward, this is a common military salute in Europe. 001 was babbling in his mouth, Liang Hong didn't understand, and he didn't learn the sad Dutch dialect.

"I will speak Chinese in the future", Liang Hong regretted it, and chose Dutch first, but the system defaulted to his mother tongue when it was manufactured.

"Yes, sir."

Soldier 001's movements are standard, regulated like a machine.

"Your new name is Alpha Zero."

The name made up of Arabic numerals is too painful, and this must be changed. The heavenly stem, the earthly branch, and the gossip can make up a total of thirty characters, which is more powerful than Arabic numerals, and the surname sounds more like a normal person.

"Soldier, where's your weapon?"

"Report to the commander, the weapons will be issued by the commander, and Jia Lingyi can skillfully use all kinds of firearms, rifles, pistols, spears, and sabers, and can participate in battles as infantry, cavalry, and dragoons."

Liang Hong almost fainted when he heard this, and asked me to issue you a weapon, but we have to have it too.

Inside the bunker, Liang Hong looked at the mirror with a sad face, not to appreciate his dignity.

"Dear Xiaobai, when will the base be able to provide weapons?"

"First of all, I would like to remind you, Captain Liang, that we are only in a working relationship, please do not use words that confuse relationships. Secondly, weapons are manufactured, and the primary base needs to build a weapon workshop first. The crisp female voice replied indifferently.

"However, the soldiers in the barracks need weapons, and it is unreasonable for the base not to provide soldiers with basic combat tools."

"Recruits who come out of the training camp are unarmed, and they are assigned to combat units. Could it be that Captain Liang has never been a recruit? Xiaobai began to fight back slyly.

"I haven't been, I really haven't been an ordinary recruit, but I graduated from a military school. Comrade Xiaobai, which school did you graduate from? ”

"My file is beyond your current clearance."

The cold words held back all the words and passions behind Liang Hong, like pouring a scoop of cold water into a boiling pot.

"Ahem, what, let's talk about work. Now that the Weapon Workshop has been built, what weapons can it provide? Is it still possible to make bullets? ”

"Again, it's best to ask only one question at a time." There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in Xiaobai's voice, which made Liang Hong very painful, and he was a little suspicious of whether this woman was also a cyborg or an android.

"Weapons workshops can make bullets, but the weapons they make were developed twenty years ago in the present-day world, and they can only make light weapons."

"Only light weapons can be made, that is, there is no artillery."

Liang Hong was a little disappointed, he was an all-rounder, his main event was a gunner, and he was also an accurate shooter, especially good at using mortars, not only accurate but also able to play a variety of tricks. Now it seems that there will be no artillery available for a short time.

"Yes, the time for this exchange has come again, goodbye."

It still stopped abruptly without warning, and looking at the pretty face that disappeared in an instant, Liang Hong slammed the table angrily.

Without weapons, Jia Lingyi could not bring Liang Hong the expected sense of security, and could only be used as a helper, equivalent to a coolie doing manual work. In addition to this, there is an extra mouth to eat, which makes him believe that this is not a robot. As he marched, Zero One followed behind with a wooden stick, responsible for protecting the defense behind him. The soldiers created by the system are extremely loyal, and Liang Hong is still satisfied with this.

With the help of Jia Lingyi, Liang Hong hastily built a simple fence around the base and the barracks workshop. A fence wall enclosed with shrub branches can't stop lions and elephants from entering, but it can still keep hyenas out. He felt that hyenas were the most annoying, swarms like flies and mosquitoes.

In addition to safety issues, it is also extremely important to fill the stomach. Liang Hong and Jia Lingyi both had to spare a lot of time to collect food. On the shores of Lake Marla, try to dig more and more hidden traps, and then expect the animals that come to drink to fall. In addition to trapping, Liang Hong has developed many alternative foods on the South African grasslands.

Alder, also known as tree fern, is an ancient plant that has survived for hundreds of millions of years, and its branches and leaves were once the favorite food of dinosaurs, and it is slightly toxic to humans. Although humans do not have the same strong digestive tract as dinosaurs, Liang Hong still scoured the alder trees for edibles. Cutting open the stem of the alder tree, the wood pith inside is rich in a lot of starch, he is lazy, directly cut the wood pith into the meat pot and boil, and then eat the wood pith whole, and then drink the starch broth in the pot.

Wild aloe vera is everywhere, a succulent and juicy plant with a somewhat bitter taste. There are many kinds of succulent wild plants like aloe vera, such as cacti, raw stone flowers, etc., although they can be eaten, but there are slight toxins in them, and they will definitely be poisoned if they are eaten every day.

A few kilometres from the base, there is a tall baobab grove with a huge canopy and knotted branches. The baobab tree, also known as the bobab tree, bears fruits as big as a football, sweet and juicy, and is a favorite food for monkeys and orangutans. Baobab is highly nutritious and an ideal substitute, but unfortunately it's not the right season and it takes months to bear fruit.
