Chapter 404: The Wanderer
Several old Hindustan men on camels appeared on the ridge in the distance. Through the telescope, you can see their weather-beaten faces, dirty beards, and gray hair. His cheeks were skinny and skinny due to lack of nutrition, a mouthful of rotten teeth, and his body was wrapped in layers of rags. Their gaze was dead, and they carried tattered bolt-action rifles, and only the occasional blink of an eye proved that they were alive and had not turned into ghouls.
They came to pick up bullet casings and power armor wreckage left on the battlefield, and peeled off the skins of the biochemical velociraptors with their hands and feet.
These things were not worth mentioning to the Zhuxia army, but they were a valuable asset to these wandering Hindustani. Bullet cases can be reloaded, power armor wreckage is of excellent texture and can be used to forge weapons after being recast, and the hard scale skin of the Biochemical Velociraptor can be used to sew leather armor after tanning.
These old men were marginal members of the Hindustani, whose tribe had been destroyed by other tribes, and they were lucky not to be caught and turned into slaves, and no tribe would accept them, so they could only wander in the wilderness, eating and sleeping in the open.
Only these desperate wanderers dare to pick up garbage on the battlefield at the end of the battle.
Someone in the company raised their rifles and wanted to shoot these filthy homeless people, but Li Mu stopped them and drove an armored off-road vehicle to the side of these Hindustani.
The Hindustani did not avoid it in horror, but calmly disposed of the wreckage of a power armor. They removed those loose armor plates, tied them with hemp rope and tied them to the camels' backs. It wasn't until Li Mu drove the car close that he dropped the rifle on his back and raised his hands above his head.
"Don't panic, we just want to check it out."
Li Mu said, took out a bottle of energy drink that had just been delivered by the helicopter, and threw it into the hands of the leader of this group of traffickers.
The leader unscrewed the cap a little awkwardly, took a small sip, and laughed, carefully tucking the energy drink into the bag. The leader was the oldest of all the wanderers, and his face was covered in brown spots like rust from the radiation fallout.
He is very fluent in Zhuxia, but he has a strange accent.
"Please check, conqueror from Middle-earth."
Zhang Tao and Yang Xingchen jumped out of the car, pinching their noses to check the luggage of these wanderers, their bags were simply stinking, and as soon as they were opened, flies buzzed out, filled with all kinds of strange things. The corpse of half a mouse, the head of a ghoul, the fur of a wild wolf that has been stripped off.
"Where are you from?"
Li Mu saw that he was reluctant to drink, so he scattered another cigarette for him.
"We have come from the west, conqueror, and there has been a fierce battle and it has become a dangerous place. We didn't dare to stay there for long, so we fled here. ”
The leader took a cigarette in his mouth, took a puff and spat out a smoke ring, they hadn't smoked in a long time, and the fighting was taking place that made everything scarce, let alone tobacco.
"We have seen many terrifying monsters, those monsters have only appeared in legends, and your iron bird is fighting those monsters."
Li Mu's eyes narrowed, he knew that the air force was providing air support to the besieged commandos, but he didn't expect that they had already fought with the Holy Demon Clan.
"Did you see anyone on the way here?"
Ostracized by all the tribes, these wanderers have no sense of belonging to the Hindustani and Yama, but rather resentment. The leader told him everything he knew.
It had been a day since Li Mu captured the mountain, and Ouroboros should have sent reinforcements to recapture this position. These wanderers are coming from the west and may be encountered.
"See, their line is a full seven or eight hundred meters, but fortunately our camels smell those biochemical velociraptors, otherwise we would have suffered. We took a shortcut to avoid them. Conqueror, if I were you, I would have hurried out of this mortal land. ”
The leader said in a warning tone.
"Oh? If those Hindustani only had biochemical velociraptors and power armor, they would not be our opponents, and we have already eliminated too many biochemical velociraptors. ”
Li Mu also picked up a cigarette, he rarely smoked, but recently he was taken by those few non-commissioned officers with smoking guns, and occasionally smoked a few. I don't know which Guan's industry produces these cigarettes, the quality is very poor, the tobacco leaves are often mixed with messy things, and the cigarette paper is also recycled paper, which is very choking to smoke.
"Monster! A terrifying monster, I can't even put into words what it looks like, it must only appear in the most terrifying dreams. It should have actually spotted us, but probably because we were too dirty to turn a blind eye. I'm still glad we didn't have the habit of taking a shower. ”
Li Mu's face was a little solemn, they had obviously poked the pain point of the Hindustan people by capturing Nantai Mountain, and they actually sent a holy demon clan over. Without revealing their strength, infantry fighting vehicles were their most powerful weapon, but they were clearly unable to threaten the clansmen.
"Duty, of course we won't run away, but you need to be careful, but not all the Zhuxia troops are as kind as us."
The wanderers rode away on camels and soon disappeared from view. They obviously didn't want to stay here for long, that horrible monster could come here at any moment.
As the sun begins to set, a transport plane will drop supplies to the company, including power armor and common maintenance parts for infantry fighting vehicles, various types of artillery shells for infantry fighting vehicles, fuel, and HESCO blast bags for building bunkers. The supplies were so heavy that even heavy transport helicopters would have taken several times to transport them. Therefore, a transport plane was directly selected to transport this batch of materials at one time.
They had already laid out the signal for the drop zone, and a series of infrared strobe lights lined up in a huge pentagon. Clear in the pilot's field of vision.
Airdrops are risky, the wind can blow off the cargo, the parachute may fail to open, and a careless one could hit the head of the unlucky guy below.
The airdrop went very smoothly, and all the goods fell near the airdrop area, and there was no loss, damage, or injury.
However, after the airdrop was completed, the transport plane did not leave, but continued to hover directly in mid-air. Someone jumped out of the cabin, wearing wingsuits, descending from the air at high speed at high speed.
"Is it reinforcements?"
