290 passed the test
Feng Li heard the report from his subordinates and estimated the scope of the swarm, and finally he chose to let his hunting team bypass S County. However, S County is still some distance away from Y City, and if you go from the outer ring of S County, then the wolf hunting team will delay a lot of time on the road, so Feng Li decided to cross the horizontal coverage of S County from the outskirts of Y City.
This decision was very bold, in order to reassure everyone, Feng Li sent his henchmen to explore the way forward with the team members with perceptual abilities, and walked about forty or fifty kilometers, but they didn't find anything unusual, which made the members of the team settle down.
In fact, Feng Li also felt that since the insects had gathered in S County, the number of insects around S County would inevitably decrease. Once you have passed the adjacent area of S County, the danger of large numbers of bugs should have passed. It's just that Feng Li had bad luck and ran into a group of marauders.
However, the wolf hunting team had many people and cars at this time, and they were not afraid of those hunters, and Feng Li was still waiting to loot the materials in the electronic market, so naturally he didn't let the team members chase after him.
The group of raiders had raided all the way from the northeast, and they had just taken over a small settlement east of Y. The settlement was built on a cement factory, and there were only about 200 people in total, including only a dozen of them.
Originally, with the strength of these raiders, it was not enough to occupy this settlement, but the time they came was particularly coincidental, this settlement had just fought with the swarm of insects in transit, and more than thirty people in the settlement, five or six of them died at the hands of the insects, and two or three people with abilities saw the ferocity of the insects' attack and ran away directly, and finally there were only three people left in the settlement, but they were all injured.
Then the group of raiders came, and the three seriously wounded Adepts were no match for the raiders, and they didn't think much of the small settlement, and after robbing the supplies and harming the people in the settlement, they walked away.
The leader of the raiders, One-Eye, was furious when the group of raiders was in high spirits before they encountered the wolf hunting party. It's just that the other party is powerful, and they don't want to die in vain, so they go in the opposite direction with the other party after watching from a distance.
Feng Li naturally didn't take this group of looters to heart, and after arriving at the electronics market, all kinds of electronics-related products and parts here made Feng Li and them fill several cars.
There is no way, the space powerhouses in the Feng Li team only have a total of ten ten cubic meters of space, and some large things can't fit in, and there are still a lot of materials from the wolf hunting team stored in his space, and the remaining available space is even smaller. Feng Li was a little reluctant to use these materials, so he could only let the team members squeeze and separate the things and load them into the car.
On the way back, Feng Li thought that the insect swarm should not disperse so quickly, so he still chose the road he came.
On the other side, the leader of the group of raiders, Lone Wolf, became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and on their aimless and blind road, he also found a swarm of insects gathered in S County. At this time, the lone wolf thought of a way to lure the swarm somewhere else, and if the group that had ignored them before followed that path, maybe the bugs would help them out.
The raiders had a knack for seducing bugs, and they had a few women in their trunks from previous small settlements, originally thinking that they could have fun at night, which could be used as bait to lure bugs.
The one-eyed plan was quite successful, and many insects were attracted to the road by the smell of people, and they did the same, attracting a lot of insects on the roads of dozens of kilometers along the road in S County.
Feng Li came back after looking for supplies, and the perceptual abilities in the team found the insects on the horse, but the number was not very large, Feng Li meant to rush over directly, and all the fire abilities were ready, as long as there were insects that pounced on them, they would be killed.
It's just that when the lone wolf tempted the insects to the road, he also sprinkled a lot of thistles, because the people in the Feng Li team only cared about cleaning up the insects on the road, and did not notice that the road was sprinkled with thistles, and when the first few cars were out of control one after another, someone found the abnormality of the road.
Then I don't know if it's because Feng Li's luck is too bad, the size of the swarm has expanded a lot, and when the wolf hunting team wants to leave the road, there are more and more bugs around.
Feng Li's eyes turned a little red when he said this, not because of sadness but because of anger, "If I run into that group of looters, I will make them die a bad death!" ”
"There are so many raiders, can you tell the difference?" Yu Dahai didn't want to hear this, so his tone was not very good, "You can't say that's all you have to say, right?" That's less than sixty and a half percent of the supplies. ”
"Of course, it's not just that, when I was rushing out, I found that many of those bugs are species I haven't seen before, even if they are the varieties I know, they all have differences." Feng Li said while reminiscing.
"Isn't it normal for bugs to evolve and mutate?"
Feng Li shook his head, "I think they seem to have assigned mutations, such as hard beetles, I also saw them in the swarm, but their carapace seems to be harder, and mainly the front half of their body has become harder." ”
Yu Dahai seemed interested, "Oh? And then what? ”
"There are also poison tank worms, which usually explode before they die, or they only explode when they are attacked by fire abilities, but the poison tank worms we encounter will spray venom at us, and if the venom is contaminated with one or two drops, it will corrode a large piece of skin and flesh in a very short time."
"Could it be that the bugs have calmed down recently because the bugs have started a large-scale evolution again?" Yu Dahai whispered.
"We also encountered a few poison pot bugs on the way there, and those bugs didn't show up like that. It stands to reason that insects have no intelligence, but only instinctively attack humans, so why do they gather? So I'm wondering, is there something in S County that makes the bugs start to evolve and mutate again? ”
Yu Dahai nodded, "There is such a possibility, but there is no evidence now." However, just from the point of view of the gathering of insect swarms in S County, it is not good news for our airport settlement, although S County is hundreds of kilometers away from our airport settlement, but a few hundred kilometers away is nothing for insects. ”
"By the way, the Perceiving Abilities in the hunting party said that he sensed a large amount of energy in an instant, but it was fleeting, and he thought he was wrong."
"Oh? And this kind of thing? So it seems that if there is really something in S County, someone has to be sent to take a look. Yu Dahai picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, "Let the human weapons hunting team check it out, what do you think?" ”
Feng Li smiled, "It's really good to let them go, but they're not stupid, can they agree?" ”
"I'll do it. Your injuries are not light, go back and rest early. Maybe we'll hear good news about Ning Yi in a few days."
……
The next day, Nanxing came to the station of human weapons early, and she wanted to talk to Ning Yi about her younger brother Murong.
Ning Yi, the captain, has relatively lenient requirements for the members of his hunting team, and when he doesn't need to go out, he doesn't require everyone to report to the station every day.
Ning Yi didn't do this because of any special routine, but many of the team members also had their own things. For example, Nanxing heard that Qizai's mother was not in good health, so as long as the hunting team did not have to go out, the two fathers and sons would take care of her at home.
Another example is Lao Wang, he has his own set of machine tools, and he likes to get some gadgets when he has nothing to do, and many gadgets play a big role in every task.
Of course, as the captain, Ning Yi hopes that everyone can practice more when they are idle. Like Ning Yi, even if he doesn't have to go out, he gets up early, and as long as he goes to the station, he can find him nine times out of ten.
It was just after seven o'clock at this time, and it was quite quiet in the human weapons station, and only the sound of punching could be faintly heard. After entering the gate of the station, Nanxing really saw Ning Yi himself, who was slamming at the sandbag on the side.
Nanxing's eyesight could tell that Ning Yi should have been practicing for a while, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead and neck.
"Captain Ning, I have something I want to tell you." Nan Xing felt that the ability level of her cheap brother Murong should be not bad, so she didn't feel very embarrassed when she asked Ning Yi to talk about it.
Ning Yi felt that Nanxing should have something important, so he stopped moving, "What's the matter?" ”
"Do we still need new people for our hunting team?"
"Anyone?"
"It's my younger brother Murong, he's about to be eighteen years old, and he doesn't want to be in the patrol, so I'll help ask."
Ning Yi nodded, "If you have time, ask him to test his ability, but you also know the rules of our hunting team, if you don't pass the ability test, you can't join." ”
"I understand, can I let him test it in the afternoon?"
"Okay. What is his ability? ”
"Fire." Nanxing thought for a moment, and then said, "There's still time. ”
"Oh?" Ning Yi didn't expect that the two sisters and brothers of this family had such rare abilities, "Then I'll call Lao Wan over in the afternoon." ”
At noon, Nanxing went to a patrol and helped Murong take a half-day leave on the grounds that he had something important at home. Don't look at only taking half a day off, but all the salary on this day will be deducted, which is also one of the rules of the airport settlement, and it is the custom rule of Yu Dahai. According to Yu Dahai's words, the work in the settlement is the most important, so if you want to take leave, you must deduct double your salary, otherwise everyone will casually ask for leave and the settlement will be messed up.
In the afternoon, Ning Yi brought Lao Wang over, and it was not inconvenient for Lao Wang to be alone.
Murong was still a little nervous before the test began, but after seeing Lao Wang demonstrate the change and control of the fire system, he had a bottom in his heart, usually Murong likes to fiddle with the fireball, stretching it into a long strip for a while, and rubbing it into a small bird shape for a while. The level of control that Lao Wang demonstrated was really easy for Murong.
In the project to test the strength of the fire-based ability, Murong smashed a large hole in the thick steel plate of his arm with a fireball, which made Lao Wang amazed, saying that he was young and had strong firepower, and at Murong's age, the fire-type ability was not so powerful.
Obviously, Murong passed the ability test of the human weapon hunting team, and Ning Yi announced on the spot that Murong was a new member of the team, and he would be introduced to everyone in two days.
After that, Ning Yi asked to see Murong's time ability, which was unique in the airport settlement.
Murong was a little embarrassed, "My time ability is pretty bad right now. ”
"How?" Ning Yi asked.
"That's it...... It can only be timed for one second. Murong obviously felt a little embarrassed to say it in a second.
Ning Yi patted Murong on the shoulder, "One second is not short, at the last moment, if you have one more second of reaction time, it is possible to save your life." It looks like you haven't developed this ability yet, but it just so happens that there's a metal ability on your team who has been practicing subtle manipulation of metal lately, so you two can work together. ”
