Volume 2: The Blood of the Sun, Chapter 25. Crane tail
Frankly speaking, Lu Yuan has never tasted the feeling of running after people since he was a child.
Although Lu Yuan is not a pure Zeus family, compared to many classmates and comrades-in-arms who have gone through a lot of hardships to be transferred from remote star fields and resource planet space stations to the Capital Star for naturalization, Lu Yuan's father's position as a transport ship captain is enough to make them envious. The 18 years of basic education in Zeus are far away from the children of sailors who have to live with the ship, especially with the aura of a military cadet of Trinity College, Lu Yuan is a bit thin everywhere.
At least you don't have to run around the back of the car like you do now.
The sun was particularly scorching before the sun was about to set, and the desert wind that gradually rose in the evening swept the sand and dust and hit Lu Yuan's face. He couldn't dodge it at all.
The tires of the all-terrain vehicle slowly pressed against the long-dried wasteland, the ruts were shallow, and the footsteps were heavy and messy. Lu Yuan followed behind the all-terrain vehicle exhausted, and an iron cable hooked him to the rear of the vehicle, and the speed was maintained at such a speed that Lu Yuan had to run as fast as he could, but not so that he could not support it and fell and dragged him to death.
Soreness and fatigue are like a bowl of water on the hood of a car, swaying back and forth, overflowing and shaking back, his hands are dragged straight, which can be regarded as saving a little negligible strength, the scorching pain of his boots rubs against the footboard, Lu Yuan's only remaining reason tells him that he must not try to be as easy as if it is within reach, whenever he drags and runs tired, and his body droops, he will slam a spirit, squeezing a trace of strength from the bone marrow.
First of all, the muscles are sleepy, every cell is thirsting to stop, the air is squeezed into the lungs that cannot stop, and every breath is as uncomfortable as inhaling carbon monoxide. Gradually, it became a numbing pain, only the mechanical repetition of the step-by-step, the step-by-step. The sun, tilted beyond the horizon, turned into an orange balloon with a dull edge, slowly rising and falling.
"Smack." The boots stepped on an inexplicably wet piece of dirt, his knees were splashed with mud, and the unbridled laughter reached Lu Yuan's ears far away, and he tried to open his eyelids with thousands of pounds of lead, and looked at the roof of the all-terrain vehicle a few meters away.
A native, who had just taken out the words, wiped the ragged cloth strip on his waist with his hand, and was tightening his crotch, saw Lu Yuan's hair scattered, he immediately laughed, straightened his waist and abdomen, made a peeing posture, and muttered a short sentence, his hands were round and his hands were crossed, and then his middle finger was raised and pointed down.
Lu Yuan glanced at the native who was obviously insulting him without emotion, and then lowered his head, unwilling to spend any more effort, after all, this was just a bunch of natives, if the imperial soldiers captured him, Lu Yuan would have infinite strength to scold, from the imperial emperor greeting to the female relatives of the imperial soldiers in front of him. But since there were just a bunch of natives in front of him, Lu Yuan really didn't bother to bother.
This glance seemed to annoy the native, and he raised his gun scolding, with a great posture of shooting, but Lu Yuan was not interested in raising his head, and the native's leader still had some conversation value. Lu Yuan studied ethnogenesis, and if the predator did not kill all its enemies on the spot, then in general, it would either be brought back to the nest or brought to court. Anyway, there won't be another trouble on the road.
Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't pay attention, he was not a slave who had been caught in the past and cried and begged for mercy, the native's gun was aimed at Lu Yuan's head several times, and his index finger pulled the trigger, but before he pulled it, the native's mind floated to see how the leader cleaned up his subordinates who did not follow the order, and the natives couldn't help but shudder. In the wasteland, the position of the hunter and the prey is always changing, and if you are used to being a hunter, how can you take the risk of falling?
The native stupidly returned the gun and shouted a few words, in less than a few seconds, the speed of the car was a few yards faster, and Lu Yuan, who was about to bear the limit, became more and more painful, thinking that Lu Yuan would give in in this way, but still disappointed the native, so the native could only mumble a few words, sit cross-legged, and enjoy the tragic image of this "heaven" captive with interest.
Lu Yuan exhaled and inhaled in small gulps, allowing himself to always keep his consumption low. He is an orbital paratrooper trained in an iron pilot, and enduring and even ignoring pain is his basic skill. He was now able to detach his legs from the pain nerves, and kept shifting his thoughts.
He remembered the hellish training of the pilot, waking up every day with a load of 30 kilograms and 30 kilometers of cross-country in full gear, which alone eliminated the vast majority of conscripts who thought they were resilient enough. Lu Yuan didn't know how he passed at that time, maybe he was thinking, since she, a slender woman, had completed a thing, then what reason did he have to be afraid.
The sun fell into the horizon, and the sudden drop in temperature set off a cold night wind, blowing through the hot sweat, like ice and fire, the passing distance is stepping on, Lu Yuan's mind was blank.
Suddenly, the all-terrain vehicle stopped, and the force that had been dragging Lu Yuan disappeared suddenly, Lu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, and fell to the mud, Lu Yuan didn't even have a convulsion, he collapsed on the ground with all his strength out of his strength, knowing that the sludge was blocking his mouth and nose, but he really didn't have the strength to turn over.
Just a moment before Lu Yuan suffocated and lost consciousness, he was suddenly lifted again, Lu Yuan's eyes opened a little slit in a daze, and in the red shadow, an extremely ugly face appeared in front of Lu Yuan.
"This man can run." The indigenous leader said, raising his chin at Tu, who was guarding Lu Yuan.
"You two, don't worry about this heavenly sinner, look at this good car, if the water armor snake rubs the paint, I will use the blood of the two of you to make the paint!"
With that, the indigenous leader "Yurayula" shouted in a long voice, and spiked buggies were shuttling everywhere, and torches swept out red afterimages.
The natives assigned to guard the vehicle dragged Lu Yuan to the wheels of the all-terrain vehicle, and directly used him as a stepping foot to climb to the turret, and operated it quite skillfully and closely monitored.
The numbness that had rested was shocking in waves, but Lu Yuan recognized at a glance that this place was the wasteland oasis where the strange snake had been fiercely fought in the morning, and the strange snake in heavy armor but a little stupid fled back to the waterhole after being taught a lesson by the machine gun, could it be that this indigenous team with the banner of poisonous scorpions wanted to hunt down this snake?
The headlights and torches illuminated the waterhole as if it were day, and Lu Yuan saw a lean man with a rope tied around his waist take a wooden tube from his companion, put on eyepieces, and dived into the pool after a few words of conversation with his companion. The surrounding natives quickly retreated.
After about a cigarette time, the natives shouted, and the off-road vehicle immediately started at full speed, and in a short time, the thin man under the water was dragged out, followed by the water armor snake, no, two snakes that were so neat!
As soon as these two water armor snakes came out of the water, they probably didn't know where they were east and west, and several hooks flew out of the air and hooked the scales.
The beetle snake was aware of the extreme popularity around it, and even drilled into the water without taking the initiative to attack, and as a result, it drove the hook to pierce deep into the flesh. Seeing that the blow was successful, the truck that shot the hook honked and began to reverse, and it really hooked these two snakes out of the water!
But any murderous thing, the head must be enraged, the snake rolled wildly, regardless of the huge and terrible wounds torn out, each other opened their mouths and bit the hooks, writhing the snake body swinging at great speed, suddenly towards the convoy only twenty or thirty meters away.
Lu Yuan originally thought that the natives would run away in a panic, but they didn't expect that they would not back until the snake was killed a few parking spaces, and the snake letter would stick to the front of the car to block the wind. They shrewdly maintained a position that would not retreat. Lu Yuan instantly understood that this was luring the snake to retreat to the open field!
The off-road vehicle retreated dozens of meters, and the tail of the snake had just dragged out of the pool, at this time the guerrilla motorcycle roared, and the two of them rode a motorcycle, galloping forward, and suddenly approached the snake body hidden in the sand, squirming very fast, and the aborigines holding the long pole in the back seat were straightening the long pole, towards the middle of the snake body, and stabbed down fiercely!
"Boom!" Two orange fireworks exploded, and the long pole turned out to be a bomb blaster bolt bolted to it? At such a close distance, it is simply an out-and-out death squad!
The explosive boom is extremely powerful, and it explodes the scale armor that the snake relies on to win, and the surprise attack is successful, the indigenous team is no longer restrained, and the light off-road vehicles and motorcycles charge wildly, the key is that none of these madmen have a rifle! All of them howled and rushed to the wounds of the snake's tail, spraying shotguns, and many of them were carrying explosive bombs that looked like suicide attacks.
Even though the beetle snake has sharp horns and a bloody mouth, it has only one snake head after all, and it can't cope with the galloping assault vehicles at all, so it can be said that when they are lured out of the pool, their fate is destined to be hunted!
"Woohoo!" A very low and powerful engine roar sounded in the darkness, and a tractor equipped with a front shovel horn rushed straight towards the head of the snake, and then turned its head and tried to fight back. I only heard the "poof" sound of the heavy object, and the drum and chirping of the beetle snake ended in an instant.
Another beetle snake was also crushed to death in the same way. The natives, who had won a great victory and were not even slightly injured, cheered, jumped out of the car and ran to the beetle snake that was not yet dead, took out the blood-soaked snake flesh and swallowed it directly, and scrambled for the scales that sold well, and soon someone moved their fists and feet, and the people next to them did not stop them, and sat back and watched the fighters divide the winners and losers, and the victors not only got the scales, but also justifiably took all the snake meat that the loser had cut before.
The tractor opened the door, and the indigenous leader Shi Shiran walked up to Lu Yuan, showing off that he personally ran the last tire off the snake.
Lu Yuan estimated that the other party really regarded himself as a "heaven" person, given that the leader's performance was the same as selling and boasting, this "heaven" identity may be a temporary life charm, so Lu Yuan was also happy not to break it, and pretended to nod his head seriously and praised.
The leader chirped, but he couldn't understand the interstellar lingua franca Lu Yuan spoke, but he finally realized the "admiration" that Lu Yuan pretended to have, and he was in a good mood and recruited a personal soldier, cut a piece of snake meat the size of a face plate and threw it in front of Lu Yuan.
"Eat, people of heaven!" The leader said.
Lu Yuan smiled all over his face, and scolded in a common language: "Eat you!" ”
