Chapter 482: The Critical Line (2)

The next day, Xu Hewei and Wei Qingxuan came to Su Pi's command post in the morning and applied for a new right, that is, in the process of patrolling, without affecting the patrol process, they asked to allow the students of the mecha department to hunt wild beasts as food supplements.

Su Pi also saw the commotion in the entire camp yesterday, and felt An Xiaoyu's fleeting terrifying momentum, and he still had palpitations, so he groaned a little and agreed.

Anyway, when patrolling, you have to encounter a lot of wild beasts, and because of the situation of herbivores on this side, carnivores can't hunt, and the whole herbivore system has begun to break out, so it's good to be able to kill more for food.

Wei Qingxuan and Xu Hewei glanced at each other, smiled, and conveyed this task to each of the students of the mecha department, and allowed them to obtain the fattest part of the food they hunted, and the credit will be calculated according to the amount hunted at that time.

With the stimulation of food and military exploits, the students of the mecha department began to get excited, and everyone clenched the guns and daggers in their hands.

They did encounter a lot of wild beasts these days, but most of the time they watched from afar, herbivores only quietly foraged in the distance, and when carnivores appeared, they would also weigh the weapons in their hands, and did not dare to take risks.

Creatures living on the border, whether they are human or alien, or even these unintelligent beasts, have an innate desire to survive, even if they are hungry, it is impossible to fight hard with these people with guns, this is their survival instinct.

So, most of them lived in peace with each other, and now, the humans are finally going to attack them.

When the patrol returned to the camp on the first day, three teams came back with food, a goat, a pheasant, and even an animal that had always looked like a wolf and a dog.

The harvest on the first day made the students of the mecha department feel that their lives would be better.

Although these three animals were divided among more than 300 people, 400 people were still not much, and An Xiaoyu and they handed over the fattest parts of these prey to the food hunting team according to the agreement, which was used to stimulate the enthusiasm of the mecha students to hunt for food.

So when dividing these meats, almost a person can only divide a small part, and the parts are also random and varied.

An Xiaoyu heard that there were still people in the camp who were still complaining in a whisper, and the meat they had received was difficult to swallow, but he still endured and ate his stomach, but this emotion had affected the people around him, as if a poisonous sore had been born in the camp.

She knows that things won't always be this simple.

The predatory action of the students of the mecha department began to be counterattacked by nature, and the herbivorous department here was originally huddled together, and when the animals were hunted on the first day, a confrontational force was immediately formed, and the students of the mecha department were ready to fight back.

And the carnivores also smelled the blood and smoke in the air, and their hearts were vigilant, they were about to die in this cold winter without food, and with the determination to die, they could even burst out with a ferocity twice as high as ordinary beasts.

So the next day, the students of the mecha department returned with injuries, and even one student was accidentally put on the back by a goat, and his entire chest and lungs were pierced, and he was directly sent to the treatment room of the camp for treatment in public.

However, there was very little food on this day, only a group of people were not attacked by animals because the patrol route was very remote, and they happened to encounter a nest of snow rabbits and retrieved it.

Four hundred, five rabbits, is clearly not enough.

The meat distribution that night divided all the meat into small pieces and distributed them to those who had been wounded in the battle today and who could not afford to have a high fever.

But some people don't appreciate it, they complain that they don't have meat to eat, say bad things about the mecha department that they don't do their best, and scold the mecha department for their waste, as if the mecha department obtains food as their job in the first place, but they don't expect the mecha department to do these things for them.

When some people in the mecha department heard these words, they thought of the dangerous battle during the day, and thought that they and their companions were almost dying at the hands of the beasts, and they were about to explode on the spot. But before the outbreak, they still chose to take a look at An Xiaoyu, and then the anger in their hearts disappeared, leaving only deep helplessness.

Indeed, between this heaven and earth, everyone is powerless, rather than fighting with these people, it is better to save strength, and tomorrow ensure that you have enough mood and strength to deal with those crazy beasts, and strive to leave a few corpses of wild beasts, and come back to join the brothers.

Yu Mengpu and their request for food, bedding and medicine from Su Pi were rejected again, but the people who had made trouble the night before did not come forward again, perhaps because these meats brought them hope, or maybe they brought them even more despair.

An Xiaoyu saw a huge dark cloud begin to form in the sky above the camp.

"It's probably time to let the situation continue to deteriorate, these people are about to lose it." An Xiaoyu said suddenly.

Xu Hewei and Wei Qingxuan were stunned for a moment, put down the book in their hands, and looked at An Xiaoyu, Wei Qingxuan asked, "Do you want to ......?"

An Xiaoyu nodded and stood up.

In the current camp, An Xiaoyu is obviously the object of everyone's attention, even if she is in a bad mood, even if she is full of resentment towards this camp, even if she is dissatisfied with An Xiaoyu, she can't help but look at the girl who is still indifferent to Shengxue in white when she does anything.

Now, An Xiaoyu's rise touched everyone's hearts, and almost everyone began to raise their heads one after another, turned around, and looked at the figure in front of the fire that was not very tall, and even looked a little petite, not knowing what she was going to do.

Xu Hewei asked in a low voice, "Are you going to act?" ”

An Xiaoyu nodded, and Xu Hewei and Wei Qingxuan also stood up: "Since you want to act openly, why don't we work together, do you know where the awakened beast is?" ”

An Xiaoyu was stunned, she didn't expect these two people to actually plan to join in the fun, or to take an adventure, but she didn't object, she thought to herself that even if she couldn't deal with the awakened beast, she was still sure to escape with two people.

She shook her head and said, "For the time being, I only know the general direction, but as long as I follow the direction, I plan to go over tomorrow during the day to have a look, if not, I will go alone at night." ”

The two of them nodded, followed An Xiaoyu out of the camp, and walked towards Su Pi's command post.

Everyone in the camp was thinking about what An Xiaoyu and the three of them were going to talk about with Su Pi, they guessed that it was about food, about evacuation, and about patrolling, but they didn't expect that An Xiaoyu wanted to attack the awakened beasts here.

And Su Pi didn't expect that An Xiaoyu actually asked the three of them to go to the mountains to search for the Awakened Beast tomorrow, even if he had already known that An Xiaoyu was slammed, but he was still stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you know where the Awakened Beast is?" ”

Su Pi was really puzzled, even if the defenders on their side regarded the location of the Awakened Beast as a secret, and the patrol camp had been looking for a long time before they determined a few approximate possible ranges, An Xiaoyu had only been here for a few days, and he already knew it?

Fortunately, An Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "I don't know yet, so the three of us plan to look for it." ”

Su Pi's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly: "No! I don't allow it! Even if you are a Shaozong, even if your military rank is higher than mine, and your position is higher than mine, but when you came, I already said that all students except you should listen to me, and I can't let the two of them take risks. ”

"And what if we insist?" An Xiaoyu lowered her eyelids and didn't give Su Pi any looks, but it made Su Pi feel extremely tricky, like a man's back.

He wiped a handful of sweat, coughed dryly, and said: "In this way, since you don't know where the awakened beast is, why don't I send a few patrols with you, and then you can take a look from a distance and don't approach, so that no matter what happens, I will also explain to the above." ”

An Xiaoyu listened to his request and knew that this was already the best result. There is also a major general above Su Pi, not so much that Su Pi is in control of the overall situation, but that this general is in control of the overall situation, whether it is from the placement of the Three Thousand Academies or from the arrangement of the task, the general has the final say.

As for what deal this general has reached with the Three Thousand Academy, An Xiaoyu doesn't know, and An Xiaoyu also knows that even if the general agrees to help the Three Thousand Academy screen these students, I'm afraid the purpose behind it will not be pure, and there will be other purposes, just to use each other.

But An Xiaoyu also knew that maybe this camp was already the best place that the Three Thousand Academy could find, and after arriving in other places, these students might be even worse, they might be cut by blunt knives, or they might be harvested by the knives hidden in their smiles, these are not impossible.

So nodding, An Xiaoyu agreed, not wanting to embarrass the general who had already compromised slightly, she said: "Okay, tomorrow you send someone with us, I know the general direction, and I will guarantee that they will not have an accident at that time, but the number of people cannot be large, and two people are the upper limit." ”

Su Pi completely put his mind at ease, if someone followed them, it could be said that An Xiaoyu and they were not out of his protection, as for what happened to them, it was not something he was responsible for, after all, An Xiaoyu's military rank was higher than his.

An Xiaoyu and the three of them turned around and left the command post, and when they walked to the door, they suddenly turned around and told Su Pi: "By the way, you should pay attention to the night these days, the patrol camp is facing the mountain pass, pay attention to vigilance." ”

Su Pi waved his hand and said angrily: "I'm not a fool, it's not a good thing you did!" ”

Wei Qingxuan and Xu Hewei both laughed, and the three of them left the command post and returned to the camp where the lights were about to be turned off in silence, without saying anything to the others.

Those who had delusions in their hearts, hoping to get some good news, were disappointed, lost their passion, and went back to their tents and began to sleep.

In the wee hours of the morning, everyone was woken up by the sound of gunfire in the mountain pass, which at first was sporadic and then became stormy, and after about ten minutes, the gunfire died down. The people in the camp were a little sleepless, and everyone knew in their hearts what these gunshots meant.

On the back side of the base, it is impossible for them to face the attack of the alien race, and it is impossible for the alien race to cross the warning circle of the base to come here, because this side is already within the national border, and once they enter, it will be the outbreak of large-scale war.

And a few days ago, they had never heard such a fierce gunfire in Yamaguchi, and they all thought of the information about the Awakened Beasts and herbivores huddled together a few days ago, as well as the food hunted by the mecha department these days and the students who returned from injuries.

They all knew that this was the beast in their body trying to attack the camp, but Su Pi had obviously guessed such a result, and defended the position of the mountain pass, and did not know how many beast corpses were left behind for more than ten minutes.

But when they thought of this, the students in the camp didn't even feel the blood and cruelty, let alone much fear and uneasiness, they even thought of the fact that there were so many beast corpses, and they didn't know how much time they could eat.

Of course, this is just to think about it, they have been living here for almost two weeks, and the most obvious rule of survival on the border is that more work is more, and those who do not work can only wait for death. Thinking that these beasts were killed by the people patrolling the camp, they naturally knew that not a single piece of meat could reach their mouths.

So with bitter and empty stomachs, everyone fell back to sleep.

The next morning, An Xiaoyu, Wei Qingxuan, and Xu Hewei still followed the team into the deep mountains to patrol like other mecha squads, for other early students, they couldn't see the difference between An Xiaoyu and them today, but in the eyes of the mecha students, it was different.

An Xiaoyu and their team, the equipment they carried was obviously not for patrolling, but like a big battle, and the entire team seemed to be fifteen people.

Su Pi still sent two experienced patrol soldiers to follow them in accordance with An Xiaoyu's minimum requirements, and the weapons assigned to Wei Qingxuan, Xu Hewei and the two patrol veterans were also weapons of great destruction, and even with explosive weapons and some unconventional weapons, they were fully armed, just like a team of mercenaries.

The other ten people, except for the three of them and the two patrol veterans, were the team that carried out the patrol mission in place of An Xiaoyu, and Wu Luse finally had time to rest for a day today, and slowly his mouth was getting swollen and foaming.

The people in the mecha department began to guess what An Xiaoyu was going to do, but they also knew that the matter about the Awakened Beast was still not within their reach for the time being, although they were supporting it under the banner of the Awakened Beast and Star Energy, they could still only do their job.

And their job now is to do a good patrol mission, not to be killed by crazy beasts, to get food, and to live.

An Xiaoyu and they left, disappearing into their bodies under everyone's attention, and halfway through, the patrol team also separated from them and headed towards the patrol route, while An Xiaoyu turned a corner and began to move in one direction.

Relying on their wealth of knowledge and the experience of patrol veterans in the mountains, An Xiaoyu and they crossed the mountains and ravines, but fortunately, it was winter, and most of the rivers and living water were no longer flowing, making their movements much easier.

The veteran who led the team was an old man and a young man, the oldest was thirty-six years old, he was the captain of the patrol, his name was Huang Chun, it is said that his wife was still strong when she was pregnant with him, and when she went to work in the field, she suddenly gave birth, and there was really no place to put him, so she gave birth to him in a broken wooden box with straw.

So when he was named later, his wife said that it was destined by God, so she named him Huang Chun.

Huang Chun joined the army at the age of eighteen, and it has been a full eighteen years now, and half of his life has been handed over to these deep mountains and old forests.

The young soldier was twenty years old this year, joined the army at the age of nineteen, he was very clever, he was Huang Chun's apprentice, he often followed him in and out of the mountains, he was equally experienced, mainly in dealing with wild beasts, this man was born to be good at this.

Huang Chun pointed to the direction An Xiaoyu was going to and said: "That side is not the patrol range of our army, in fact, this place is also outside the national border, but the alien race is soft, and we have no one to take care of, so it is almost a no-man's land, when we patrolled before, we felt that the Awakened Beast Bacheng would hide in that place." ”

An Xiaoyu spread out his palm, and the divine soul energy was wrapped in a cloud of red energy, because he was afraid that the awakened beast would be able to detect them, An Xiaoyu did not use a test tube, but wrapped it with the power of the divine soul at any time, which opened Xu He's eyes.

The trace of star energy in the palm of his hand is facing the direction of the awakened beast, and An Xiaoyu is very sure that the awakened beast is in which mountain in this direction.

Huang Chun was also amazed, for An Xiaoyu, the students who dared to enter the deep mountains directly, not only did they not despise it, but they admired it a little, he could see that An Xiaoyu was a really capable person, because when she looked into the depths of the mountain, her eyes were brighter than the most ferocious beast he had ever seen.

With two snorts, Huang Chun said: "Before, we speculated about the appearance of the awakened beast, and conducted a search, in fact, we found some clues, but you also know that the volume and form of the awakened beast may change, and the species cannot be determined according to the footprints, so it can only be determined as the range of artiodactyls." ”

"It's true that no one has ever seen what this awakened beast is like?" An Xiaoyu was more curious, could this awakened beast be as remote as glutinous rice?

Huang Chun smiled: "When we chased the footprints, we didn't find anything, do you think this is strange?" Can it still fly away? ”

An Xiaoyu also smiled and didn't express any opinions, but suddenly thought of an old saying.
